Hello people!
I've got my Galaxy Tab from US and now i'm really dissapointed, because it is CDMA-version. There is no CDMA-providers in my area.
You could think that it's simplier to sell this device on eBay and buy european, but it's really hard in Russia. Our major postal service is worst, in the best way they will deliver your item in US in a couple of months, but there is big chance to loose it quite.. and there's no responsibility..
So maybe someone knows the way to attach cellphone via bluetooth and use external 3G-internet? I think it's called DUN-client, but i can't find it.
Also i want to know if i can add other languages in Android. I applied 'custom-locale' from Market and set Russian, but the most part of interface (General settings, Calendar, etc) still in English.
Thanks!
I was curious of doing to same. Is there a way to, lets say get a blackberry to share its internet via bluetooth to the tab?
if you have a rooted android phone you can use wireless tether, it supports both BT and WIFI tethering

Hi to all
Had anyone managed to use SPB TV without problem using WIFI only?
I had installed SPB TV, I see the channels, when I choose a channel I see the guide, and the thumbnail of the channel, but when I press to see the picture ( channel streaming ) I have black picture, buffering is always at 0%
I use it with WIFI only
Everything else, Youtube, internet is working fine
works fine for me, wifi or not
You are using Galaxy Tab?
Why is not working with mine? have you any idea?
The same application in my iphone is working fine. using the same wifi
I have installed the same application in a chinese tablet having eclair 2.1 and it is not working. Same problem as the tab.

It works flawlessly for me on wifi, but very badly on 3G. I usually get 3 bars 3G signal, so the signal can't get much better. Still poo though.
I dont use 3G, and I had disabled the use of 3g for data. For me streaming through wifi is not possible, I cannot find the reason why, Running the same application through my pc and iphone is working fine using the same network.

Yes, I use it on my GT and an HTC HD2.
Hard to figure out why yours isn't working as there's really no option to set up in this program.
It requires a reliable 3G or WiFi conection to work, and while wifi at home should always be reliable, when connected to 3G I often get the channel logo, the guide and "instant picture" but then clicking on it I may get this error message: "impossible to connect to the TV server, check your internet connection".
But no buffer shows.
Maybe it's your wifi modem firewall problem so you have to open a special gate.
Streaming protocols for tablet might be different from phone and blocked for some reason.
Try on another WiFi and make sure you have the latest build of SPB TV
I installed it on mine last night and it works fine, though it`s mostly non English channels.
Hi to all
Very strange, I want you to do the above test to check through the broswer if you follow the links if you have picture, and with what application
I have no message about connection problem. I use Rottohammers Rom V2 but I don't think this is the problem.
I had sent a message in the SPB support, I will sent you the answers and the details of my case, If you have any idea.
I had tested it in three devices 2 tablets, iphone, and my PC
Read the details above
=======================================
Thank you for your message and interest in SPB Software.
Please, open this page in the browser on your device: http://www.spbgo.com/stest
You will see several links to video streams. Try launching the first three.
How do these streams play?

Hi and thank you for the quick answer
Very very strange what is happening here....
I tried it using 2 broswers, The stock and the Dolhin, I used 3 applications to open the streams, Stock Video application, mVideo Player, and Vplayer.
ALL SEVEN LINKS gives NO PICTURE ( Black picture ) Very strange.....
I tried to open all 7 links using VLC player on my PC running windows 7 and all links are playing Video very good.
I don't know what to guess
Using your windows application, I have very good picture on my PC
Using your iphone application , I have good picture on my iphone
Using the same application in my Galaxy Tab and in another Chinese tablet gives NO PICTURE
Since VLC on my PC has picture means that ISP has no problem ( My Pc is connected to my router with LAN cable and a static IP )
iphone and the 2 tablets are connected wireless to the same router with DHCP, Why iphone is working and not the tabs running android?
My router is very good one a Draytek Vigor 2710n I double checked, not changes are made to close rtsp streams ( There is no such choice in setup )
I tried to connect to the net with another access point I have a NETGEAR the same problem. ( The NETGEAR is only access point and it is connected to my Draytek Modem-router-Wifi, through a LAN cable,So if something is blocked in the modem, the NETGEAR will not give access I guess... )
I will going to be crazy, what else might be the cause of the problem??????
========================================
I had tried in my Pc using Android SDK virtual Pc and it is not working eather.
Thanks in advance
I'd suggest backing up your existing ROM and trying a wipe.
It may well be you have an application blocking access.
Of course, if you don't have ClockworkMod on your Tab, this is going to be a pain, but it's still probably the best course of action at this stage.
FWIW, I'm running the MoDaCo ROM, and SPB TV works perfectly for me. I was surprised to find it was a free app now, as I purchased it ages ago on my Hero, but never bothered installing it on my later phones/tablet.
Regards,
Dave
Hi
If you read my post you will see that SPB TV it is not working
in my Galaxy Tab, a Chinese Tablet running Eclair 2.1, and in the virtual PC Running Android SDK
So I think it is not ROM problem.. Roto V2 runs fine in my Tab
Please make the test above with the link sent to me by SPB support, to tell me the results, if with the stock broswer, and the stock video player you have picture folowing the links
Thanks

I did read your post! If you *read* my post, you will see that SPB TV *is* working for me. Therefore, testing the links you provided is a pointless exercise, because naturally I'd expect them to work if the app does, but regardless of this I've tested and yes they are fine. I also never stated that it was a ROM problem - I said that another application may be blocking access.
So - what have we established:
1. There is nothing wrong with the application on my Galaxy Tab
2. There is nothing wrong with streams on my Galaxy Tab
3. Other than you, everyone else who has posted on this thread is not having issues with SPB TV on their Galaxy Tabs.
This doesn't help you at all unless you are prepared to take some advice and actually try something different.
Blithely stating it is not a ROM problem when it quite possibly is is just nonsense, when thus far everyone else who has posted on this thread has said that it works for them!

Dave
Hi my friend thanks for the detailed answer.
I said that I think it is not rom problem, because, SPB TV is not working in my chinese tab running eclair 2.1, and also in my PC running android sdk Froyo 2.2 virtual PC.
So if the application was running in the other two devices, it was sure, that something was going in my GalaxyTab
From the SPB tech they told me to open some ports, but I don't think this is the reason. Ports in the router are opened if you want others access something in your network
So the next thing to do is check the application in another network outside mine
Perhaps it is my ISP problem...
I had tried also to open the ports but no success.
I don't know what other to check my router is a Draytek Vigor 2710N
works for me too
Roto JMIv2 and everything works fine here, both on 3g and wifi.
Can't really imagine what kind of issue you stumbled upon...

Hi
Finally it is my router problem. I tried an old and cheaper roouter I had and it works fine, now in my router a draytek vigor vpn, i try to find out what is blocking rtsp. I had not set any blocking, I had emailed the Draytek Vigor support, to tell me how to fix the problem, only if I put the tabs ip in Dmz host it works, but I want the Dmz host for my Dvr.

Hi
Well, I wanted to know how to use wifi direct to send things to my friend. His phone has wifi direct and my black too, but I don't know how to use. I read that I need an app called wifi cast, and I found this app on smartworld. I installed the app, but I don't know what do I have to do.
Thanks
Short: I don't know, but if you want know something about my experiment
After nearly a year with my black I wanted to try this feature. I could connect a Galaxy S2 with my Black. Then I tried to send a file from the S2. Error. I searched for a possibility to send a file from the black over wifi-direct but, there is no button for that.
I assume that LG wants you to use "Smartshare", but afaik that works only with other LG devices.
Hi Swaddy
Thanks for the answer.
My friend has a galaxy note, and some weeks ago I could connect my black to his note, but I didn't send any pic to his phone. But this week, I tried to connect and I couldn't, don't know why. I guess smartshare doesn't send files, but thanks anyway

for now we can use wifi direct for sending pics videos between two optimus black only using wifi cast, i have two OB @ home so i tested it but when i want to send it to my galaxy s2 or my brother's galaxy note it gets connected through wifi direct but wifi cast doesn't show them so its not possible to transfer with other devices except optimus black
The most useful for me is Copying files between OB and PC using WiFi direct. I have read somewhere that the other device doesn't need to have the WiFi direct hardware feature. Everything can be enabled with software... but How?
I use file manager by rhythm software it has LAN capabilities so i can connect to my PC by IP address.

I've successfully set up my Chromecast with my Gnex hotspot and my Galaxy S 4G, and Netfilx and Google Play Music stream perfectly: however, Youtube and Google Play Movies and TV is tricky: it takes too long to load when it works. I got a Youtube video to work but only once. Tabcasting works but it lags. I think we need a thread that troubleshoots this type of problem, but if I'm wrong, please disregard this thread. If it's needed, please share your experiences here. The screenshots I'm attaching is my current setup (I switch my one sim card between phones): in this case, my Galaxy S 4g is the hotspot, my Gnex is MyPhone, MT6451 is my laptop #1, VPCM11AX is laptop #2, FranciscosiPhone is my iphone, and the Azurewave Tech is (I'm assuming) Chromecast.
Update: gnex as hotspot, s 4g as source with Aircast streams movies from SD card.

May I ask how you managed to get this thing to work? I've tried multiple methods for Wifi tethering using the Galaxy Nexus and all have failed. I have tried Wifi Tether 3.4 and the stock tethering option. The errors include, AP Isolation needing to be turned off, UPnp not configured, and no connection. Once I do eventually get connected, its slow and just kicks off while trying to reload. Are there any additional settings in the wifi tether app that need to be addressed? Any help would be great. Thank you.
No need for apps. I'm running cm10.2 on my gnex and 10.1 on my galaxy s 4g. Try to setup with the chromecast app but don't change the Chromecastxxxx network name. That is one problem. The next problem is "connection failed" due to password. That's fine. Double check your gnex password and try again. If you get try again just press cancel and you'll be set. It's a bit tricky but I've done it several times with both phones. If you get stuck, let me know and I'll post a video or something.
After I pressed cancel, I was set up. The first time I did it, I didn't know I was set up until I noticed the app said "Ready to Cast." Then, after resetting the Chromecast to troubleshoot some problem, I realized that changing the ChromecastXXXX name is the main problem.

I'd hide those MAC addresses if I were you. Not that we're neighbors or anything ;p
Yeah I use my One's hotspot to connect the two as well. Funny my LTE is faster than my router.

Yeah, runs fine. Though, naturally my battery drains quickly.
I've tried this method and it doesn't work for me. Left the chromecast's ID as default, was able to get it to connect, but the Chromecast itself is never recognized by any device. I can refresh or toggle wifi and eventually it will show up as an option in Google Music/Youtube, but then trying to connect to it produces an error message.
I have tried using a Galaxy Note on T-Mobile run tethering and surprise surprise, it works, but because they don't have unlimited data like I do on Verizon, it's not an option at all. Seems like it might be an issue specific to the GNex.

On the gnex, try going to settings-wifi-advanced-wifiFrequencyBand: 2.4 GHz only

So with this method you used your galaxy s as the hotspot and the gnex to setup the chromecast correct? I don't have a second phone to do that, have you gotten this to work by using the windows chromecast setup app? I can't connect...with or without a password on my hotspot and using 2.4ghz only.
Please explain how you set this up step by step
Currently, I'm using the gnex as a hotspot. I originally used chrome on Ubuntu to set up. Actually, any setup will work. I switched to see what works best and I think the gnex hotspot is more stable. You will, however, need a 2nd phone or computer to setup. Sometimes setup gets a bit tricky and says setup failed but that may not be correct, as I showed in the screenshots.

Does the TV set say "ready to cast"? If do, make sure the nexus 7 is also connected to the gnex. The chromecast app on the nexus7 should also say ready to cast".

Thanks, I'll try this out when I get home and see how it fairs.
I tried the 2.4Ghz setting and the Chromecast app doesn't recognize the Chromecast at all. Even though it's set up and connected to the network, the app will detect it as needing to be setup, even though Chromecast displays "Ready to Cast." I really think it has to be related to some Verizon LTE thing because I don't really know why it would instantly work on a T-Mobile Galaxy Note but not for a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Doesn't really make any sense. I don't think using CM10.1 has anything to do with it either. I also tried CM10.2 with the same results.
OK. If you are "Ready To Cast" and you can't, this is what I found: YouTube, Google movies, and music are "blocked" if you don't have a paid hotspot plan, but Netflix and casting from your computer should work. On my sim, I had about 99gb of data and Google doesn't cast but Netflix and tab casting works. On my wife's sim, the hotspot on her plan is still less than 500mb so I can stream. This is on T-Mobile.

I'm convinced this will never work with my gnex as a hotspot, its just teasing me. It worked great with my girlfriends Rezound as a hotspot, but thats gone from a mugging in Colombia last week, and now she is getting a gnex

Thanks for the help. That reasoning probably makes sense. It's fine because in a few months I'll have a dedicated wifi connection and won't have to resort to my phone, so I'll just have to wait it out. Thanks for all your help!

Hi to All, I know this has nothing to do with phones, but there might just be someone here who can solve this anyway
My problem is that I live in an area in th Philippines, where Globe telecom is the only solution for internet, and a very unstable one. Sometimes the speed is all the way down to 80Kbps and sometimes it goes to 0.
This makes using a Chromecast very dificult, it's possible to use when the speed is fine, but a sudden drop in speed sends chromecast in buffering mode. I tried to get Google to help, to no avail - they don't care.
I would like to have it not searching for internet, as 99.9% of the time i use it for internal casting(Offline)!
Anyone have a solution for this?
My Chromecast is 3rd gen. According to this page https://www.techthatworks.net/electronic/what-generation-chromecast-do-i-have and use Firmware(checked that in Home App) 1.49.230269
Hope to hear from you smart people soon as this is driving me nuts, I'm back to use USB stick and not all format are supported, so I have to convert and convert and so on, in order to watch the clips.
Thank you in advance

Hi Peppe, why would it be illegal, I paid for the device - its mine I just want it to stop looking for the internet all the time, and do what it was bought for -casting.
Not possible, it's a real design flaw of the chromecast. I have slow internet and use it for internal casting too, very frustrating. Maybe get a bluray player or a roku they are better.
Thank you

The 3rd gen Chromecast will not boot or function if it can't hit Google's servers at boot. If it looses general internet connection, it will go to a "I've lost my brains" type of screen and not let you do anything. For a Chromecast, the internet connection is sadly required even if you're just mirroring locally.
