Google Play Slow Downloads - Motorola Droid Bionic

Has anyone noticed Google Play apps being very slow to download? I'm in the northeast in NY and anytime I try to download an app it downloads at about 150kb/s. This is while in WiFi or 3G.

I'm in RI and I am getting about the same download speed. It doesn't seem to matter if its wired or wireless, 3G or 4G. I also noticed that app updates are considerably slower than installing new apps.

Have either of you tried changing to a more favorable server? Speedtest.net app on the play store will allow you to change to a more favorable server with a higher download speed. Check it out, hope that helps.

Poor quality from Plex

I think I am getting poor quality from Plex when connected to the TV its pretty pixelated... anyone else have that? Or is it an option I haven't played with

Too little information to give you a good answer. But yes, there are options for streaming bandwidth for example that can affect quality.
On the main settings page on the plex app on the xoom, you can change bandwidth that it uses over local, over wan, and over 3g (not useful on wifi xooms). Above 2mbps and all my HD moves and tv shows look 100% HD on the xoom with no jitters, stutters, blurring, nor fragmentation. Couldn't be happier. I'm pretty sure that is the one major setting which will affect quality. That and the quality of the input video of course
edit: Also, I'm pretty sure there is an option to down-mix DTS to stereo on the server through the web browser interface. I would definitely recommend enabling that for playback on the xoom.
Ok all settings were on auto. Changes local to 5mbs but what is remote WiFi... when you are on WiFi but the media isnt?
Thanks

Remote Wifi is when you are still on Wifi, but a different network from your server (at a friend's or halfway across the world). The most important factor here is the upload speed capability of your server. I keep my Local at 5mbps, remote at 2mbps, and don't have 3g so can't comment on the last option (mobile broadband, 3g, or whatever they have it labeled, cant remember).
edit: Check out the Plex wiki on their website. It will answer pretty much every question you can think of. Extremely informative.
Looking better already! Odd that auto doesn't set itself pretty good when its local!
Also anyone have issues with video freezing when going into settings or pausing and the screen locking?

Since when does auto work right on anything?
No issues here, everything works perfectly.

The developer mentioned somewhere that the auto detection is pretty poor and that they would be working on it more in the future. The other advice about tweaking for each connection type is spot on as well

Having trouble with browser on 4G

Well the thing is that I can't connect to the internet thru skyfire and dolphin HD when on 4g; opera works as usual. I am able to connect any way with any browser when on wifi. So what's the deal? Did my phone company block the ports for those browsers because they are able to burn through high amounts of data quickly? (Skyfire has flash, so you can watch videos just like on PC) anyway enuff with the guesses, anyone know what the deal might be?

Youtube not working on 3G/HSPA+ connection

Hi, Guys
I am using "[DEV/ROM/4.1.2] [Dec 21 2012] CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v3.0 for N1" this rom.
However, I met a problem that Youtube is not working on my phone while I am using 3G mobile data connection, but it works well when I am using WIFI.
Anyone has the same problem? Could anyone help me with this?
Cheers,
I did not have the problem. Perhaps your 3G connection is slow. Which ROM are you using? Vijendrahs ROM ?
Yep, I am currently using that one. I have tried other roms as well, they did not work either. I also tried other YouTube player like Tubemate, sometimes I could load the video or ads when I chose low resolution, e.g., 320x240. My 3g speed is actually quite decent, can up to 200kbs. I am wondering it has something to do with the operator or internet setting?

By looking at the App comments for the latest update, it looks like many users are facing this problem (Buffering/Video failing to load). Can you try putting an earlier version of Youtube and test?
btw, Youtube is not blocked in your country right?

Slow market speed on Wi-Fi

I'm connected to my razr hd hotspot. Tested download speed on the one at 10mbps. When I connect to the market to download anything, the speed is slower than 3g. Any idea what's up with it? Wasn't always like this, and is only slow in the market.
Thanks

Anyone else having an issue with LTE and YouTube?

Do I have LTE where I'm at and it works great. I have supernatural speeds and everything loads quickly except youtube. I literally have to watch it at lowest resolution to be able to stream it? Could AT&T be throttling youtube for some reason?
No problem here. If is loading slow and this is only you tube that means they have problems with servers in your area.
