[Q] Plex Client not working on Sprint - Moto X Q&A

I've searched for awhile on this and can only find fixes for old HTC devices. The official Plex app works fine over wifi but not over Sprint's network. The thing I don't understand is it works on my tablet (Moto Xoom CM11) when tethered to my phone. As far as I can tell this only occurs on Sprint (XT1056). I've also noticed IheartRadio crashes on Sprint but not wifi. Any ideas?

Are you rooted with Xposeed? If so, you can try the method listed in my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-xfinity-tv-app-verizon-3g-4g-t2822906
Basically all it does is 'trick' apps into believing that you are on WiFi. It will be interesting to see if it resolves your issues.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that when the module was released and tested it again today but didn't have any success. Any other ideas?

Free VPN working with Android (Hotspot Shield)?

I tried configurating Hotspot Shield VPN (http://hotspotshield.com/clientless/iphone/get_started.php) that works fine on iPhone but I just can't make it work on Android.
Do you use Hotspot Shield with Android or do you know any other free VPN?
I tried the same but with no luck
Anyone else ??
not sure what the problem is but I can't seem to get it to connect either.
Shame no ones come up with any interesting news yet on the topic

Thank goodness because the sites listed in this thread so far seem like crapola.

Sorry to ask but can you explain how, I keep getting fail to connect... Thanks
This is how i use my phone with hotspot shield...
That's exactly how I got it, but it keeps saying failed to connect... Does this works over 3G or just on Wi-Fi?
Thanks
Still no luck using same settings but I get Failed to Connect, over 3G and Wi-Fi, I think it might be a kernel problem or the tun.ko module, I checked my kernel and the module is there...
I'm Using AuraxTsense HTC Desire ROM.
Any Help would be great.
have no idead about htc desire, but on sgs it's working ) but i posted info ONLY about ipsec for HotSpotShield...
Still no luck on my side neither 3G or Wi-Fi works
i have no idea - me working perfect! did you get log/pass for iphone connection?

Skype!

Skype for Android has been released on the Android market. Unfortunately, the app does not officially support Galaxy S devices. So some users are experiencing difficulties logging in.
http://briefmobile.com/skype-launches-on-android
I tested the app on my 2.2 Froyo JI6 Captivate and it worked well! Woohoo!
Anyone get it working too? Any problems?
i Just downloaded on 2.1 - for some reason my phone rebooted at 40% during hte download - I have never had this happen and have had the phone since launch day.
No luck signing in right now... will try a few things and report back.
Yes, there is issues with 2.1 (it's noted several times on blog post on skype website). It does work fine on leaked 2.2.
My question though, I used market enabler to download I would guess european version of Skype (I emulated T-Mobile AT). Would that mean that I can make skype calls over 3G in US (since default install in US is limited to Wi-Fi connections only for voice calls). I don't have any contacts online so can not test it.

Hello,
I trying to use the code, but it send me to the market and says that is not available for my location, Can you put the apk here?
Thanks in advance!!
works great on 2.2

I get a bunch of FC's on mine... sucks.... COG2.2Beta-1.... Anyone with help on this issue?
-Ken
**EDIT NVM, reboot the phone and works great! Also I would turn off automatically start its under settings under profile in Skype
It does not support any LCD Density changes... So use stock LCD density 240 and it works fine... Besides stock, not sure which setting works other than 240 now....

I have ji6 2.2 and its says "We're sorry, but that Skype Name does not exist" it does so not sure what the problem is. I have tried over wifi and 3g still no luck
edit*** nevermine it works fine
Works just fine for me. About time we got Skype. The beta sucked.
It's useless in US since works only on Wi-Fi. When I have WiFi connection I usually have better means calling other people then Skype.
Works fine on 3G for me. What are you talking about?

Voice calls? Chat works over 3G.
This is documented limitation for users in US. Call only over WiFi not 3G. No such limitation in other countries. Wondering how they are figuring out where you are.
I haven't been able to test out the voice call yet as nobody is online on my contacts, but chat works. There has to be some kind of a bypass for that 3G limiter...
Sorry for the double post, but I think this may be of interest to everyone. Just found it over in the main android section.

Can't even sign in using that.
I do use the skype beta for text chat on my captivate, which is all I need as I have many skype contacts and we text chat often.
Why would it need access to my personal information (contacts...)! No thanks.

[Q] Tethering on 4.3 HTC One Google Play Edition

After updating to the 4.3 OTA update on my HTC One (originally Sense, but converted over), I can no longer use tethering on the device. The OTA update when through by itself and didn't require me to flash the ROM manually.
Other devices will connect to the HTC One's Wi-Fi connection perfectly fine, but can't access the internet. It was working fine before the update and I do have tethering on my Fido cell plan (I tried the sim in an iPhone 5 and the tethering works fine). All of the APN settings are the same from before the update. I've tried different APNs, but that hasn't worked either.
Anybody else seeing this issue with either their genuine Google Play edition or converted Sense HTC One running 4.3?

I'm on Rogers and it's working just fine for me. It's a converted HTC One by the way. I'm not running a true GE ROM. But it's a custom GE ROM. Sinless 3.1 To be exact.
I did have the exact problem you speak of before though. I simply wiped out all tethering settings and re did them. I've also switched to Bluetooth tethering instead. Seems to work a little better for me than the WiFi hotspot.

I've got an issue with tethering, nothing I do seems to work. It works on 4.2.2 though
I just posted this in the general GE talk, but I can't use my WiFi after using the native tethering.. its like the native program isn't restarting the WiFi drivers properly

Unfortunately, both Bluetooth and USB tethering don't work either.
Scratch that! Crazy. Last night I was tethering and right while I was Bluetooth tethering it just stopped. After an hour. And now I can't ever get it to work again. I guess I'm joining in the crowd that can't.

I'm unfortunately in the same boat. If I slap the SIM card in my other phones it can tether effectively, I'm guessing something changed in 4.3?

I just thought its crazy it was working for an hour and then all the sudden it stopped. I even pulled a logcat of when it doesn't work it and the dev can't see anything wrong. I'll even attach the logcat here to see if anyone can find anything. You'll have to look for the tethering labelled sections unfortunately i didn't trim it down.

I don't think you're crazy. I believe it's specifically to do with tethering while on LTE. I have it working on 3G/H+ without a problem

I couldn't get it working for either. I typically only use H+ and shut off my LTE. There is a fix though for this.
IMO this thread should almost be a sticky as this affects many many people! Here you go:

[Q] YouTube Videos Don't Load While Connected to WiFi

Hey guys,
You can find a summary of what I've done to my HTC One in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48582638.
On top of that, I've changed my Cell ID to the Google Play version (GOOGL001), I flashed the RUU with the Google Play version RUU, and I've installed the 4.4.2 OTA update from Google's servers.
Everything else works fine. Just when I'm connected to WiFi, videos don't load on the YouTube app (Vevo as well, but I'm assuming it's the same issue). I've tried connecting to three different WiFi connections (my house, my work, my parents') just incase there was an IP conflict or something; and still the same problem.
Do you think this is a problem with what I've done to my phone, the 4.4.2 OTA update, or the YouTube app itself?
*UPDATE* - I found out that when I take out my sim card, streaming videos works on WiFi. It only doesn't seem to work when it's connected to both a mobile network and WiFi
Thanks.

I have exact same problem on my HTC with 4.4.2. I also converted my HTC to Google play edition. And did 4.4.2 update. YouTube app Dr doesn't work on WiFi.. It's so frustrating..

I am having the same issue. I think it has to do more with wifi speeds than just YouTube. I have really poor Wifi down speed (less than 1mbps) and really fast upload speed (10mbps). There is something wrong here and it doesnt matter what rom I run, and I've narrowed it down that it is not my wifi router or service provider, I recently switched internet providers, and I doubt it is a hardware defect in my phone because my wife has consistent speeds to me on her One.
Long story short, I'm at a loss here on trying to figure out what is the root of this issue. Hope someone may figure out an answer.
OMG i have the same problem. I converted my htc one's CID then flashed the google RUU. I noticed after the 4.4 update youtube videos will not load on wifi. I tried in chrome as well and they dont load their either. I just get a message saying sorry video not available or something.
This is what happens
1. click on video to load.
2. video will start to load
3. youtube app shows loading of advertisement
4. app locks up for a couple sec
5. app comes back, but it just shows the loading circle indefinitely
I thought the update i sideloaded was corrupt or something so i reflashed the 4.2.2 RUU and then manually updated using OTA and it still did not work
Videos load flawlessly over my data connection. This issue has gotten me so frustrated i was actually trying to go back to a sense rom.

We should let this issue be known all over the web so it gets more coverage. Let's all try posting this problem on different websites and forums, so somebody will find a fix. Once a fix is found, we should post the solution back here.
I found by flashing the firmware over a new rom it will work until the phone is rebooted again (running 4.06 firmware, 4.2.2 rom)
Same problem since 4.4.2 update
I deleted the application data, clearing the cache and reinstalled the apk from the market but youtube is still stuck on the loading videos (over data or wifi both with good speed).
IDIT : it works after a reboot with wifi disabled!
Took so much effort to convert phone to GPE.. with 4.4 RUU.. updated to 4.4.2.. and youtube don't work on wifi..
That is my 75% used app.. It will send video fine to chromecast.. but won't play on phone..
Wifi only issue.. On mobile data works fine.. Tried all what i could.. reset phone.. delete data for youtube.. uninstall update for Youtube..
After two days of struggle.. restored my stock sense rom.. cant live without youtube..
It really sucks..

Yeah, lol. Tell me about it! If you look at my link at the top of this thread, you will see all the trouble I went through to get my HTC One to stock Android, and now video streaming doesn't work on WiFi.
I'm not switching back to HTC Sense UI though. I hate any version of Android that's not stock. Thankfully, I have a Nexus 5 I can use while waiting for a fix. I'm not completely switching over to a Nexus device because I like the front stereo speakers as well as the design of the HTC One.
I have a similar issue:
Youtube works after a complete reboot (and with wifi connected), but if I go off this wifi and back on again, it won't work until I reboot the phone again.

Whoa, I didn't think this would do it, but it worked. I had AdAway installed and installed this alongside and it works just fine.
I'm just curious as to why it works this way now.. ?
I changed nothing it works now (no adblocker)...
Ok it stopped working? WTF!!!!!
It's stil working for me. The thing is I have only one Wi-Fi connection to test on.
Same problem converted gpe OTA 4.2.2 stock I have multiple WiFi and 2 different ISP no change. hope someone find a solution

I installed adblock plus and I still can't stream videos while connected to WiFi.
I dont think this is a wifi speed problem. My connection is 45/4 so i should have no problems with youtube. Mine still does not work
This was bothering me so much that I decided to install a non-GPE rom instead. I went for the Omni Rom 4.2.2 and it works just fine with the videos.
I will switch back to a GPE once this is sorted out, but I am ok with this setup now. Good luck!!

Marshmallow internet lag!

Has anyone been able to figure out how to go about fixing the internet lag that Marshmallow brought? Any app that uses internet seems to lag for a long time before actually beginning to load, including web pages, play store downloads, etc. I haven't been able to figure out yet how to correct that.

no internet lag here at all, on marshmallow. actually, any lag that youre having would most likely be because of your provider, and not because of marshmallow. is your apn correct?
same here. .no internet lag..
I experience the same lag, especially on the two apps he mentions. Strange because I don't see that on any of my PC's, laptops or internet TV's so I don't think it's a provider issue. I have checked my APN's and they are correctly set. It's not horrible with the browser, a five second delay before loading but sometimes the play store has to be stopped and restarted (or turn off wifi) to connect.

Same issue then! And Simms, I believe my apn is correct, it does this for me on WiFi too and same as said here in this quoted post, I don't experience this issue on any of my other devices in the house, just my Nexus! Not sure exactly what it may be. And yea, it's like a 5 second delay, but I remember how fast it used to be on lollipop, and that's a drag! Lol
No issue here either.

odd then. maybe its because of your "set up"? if you have twrp recovery, would you make a backup then try a factory reset. see if it happens from the beginning or not. you can restore your back up after.
same issue and im bone stock, If I have some time i will be trying a few different ROMs over the few days until I find "the one" so I will report back my findings. I'm on tmo and have the issue whether im on wifi, lte, H+, or H.

I have tried this and even in 100% stock. Unlocked bootloader still and same lag. Kind of seems like only Marshmallow brought this, possible in the radio file it comes with. I'm stumped about why. I'm running newest cataclysm with multirom and cm 13 on secondary. Using newest elite kernel. Multirom TWRP is my recovery. Also, it is safe to install Lollipop radio and use with Marshamllow? Can you mix radios like that? I may try that next if possible!
I don't know if this is an issue with me or chrome app. I'm on tmobile and sometimes it lags on wifi as well. Haven't tried a different browser.

Now I wonder if this is only affecting people on T-Mobile, as I am also on T-Mobile. Could it be the WiFi calling feature? I have this on because the service at my house is awful! Could be the culpit!
im on tmo and now that i flashed chroma the issue has not presented again, I will report back after more thorough testing.

The wifi calling is not on in Chroma and it does not seem to have any of the issues I was experiencing on stock so (by deductive reasoning) I am blaming the wifi calling... but why?

It could very well be the WiFi calling then! Which sucks because I pretty much rely on that at home, service is bad here. I wonder when that will be fixed!
Search Google for marshmallow data stalls. It's a very weird bug, turning your screen on and off is the only thing that helps.
I Flashed a cm13 rom and it is gone for me now. Maybe try that and see if it works for you? You could always nandroid anyways if it didn't fix it.

I have CM13 installed as a secondary rom using multirom, but haven't used it enough to really test that! I'll look into that! And so it's a known bug then, seems like some have this issue and some don't, which I find weird!

i just purchased a nexus 6 and installed marsh. i am also on TMOUS and i get slow loads on browsers and social media apps. Instagram and Facebook as well as with both Chrome and Dolphin when accesssing any webpage. ive been toggling with the APN and surprisingly turning the screen off then on shows minimal success. Page loading reminds me of when i had Nextel running 2G service; its that slow or times out.
However i do not get this on Wifi.
I had an issue similar myself. Speed via speed test were crazy slow too, even when in LTE. My fix was very simple though. I flash the factory image from Google and booted first time. Then factory data reset and flashed radio before booting, suddenly all was working again. However my issue wasn't app related but rather system wide, also WiFi was just fine. I've read somewhere that certain providers limit speeds when phone looks like it is a PC to prevent people from tethering. APNS would normally solve this issue.
If I recall correctly it was from "Sprint" and all providers using their bands.
