Sling Player issues on TP2

Is anyone else having issues with the Sling Player not working with the TP2 over the T-Mobile US 3G Network.
I get the error message - "Unable to connect to Slingbox" only when I connect over the T-Mobile US 3G network.
When I connect over Wi-Fi from outside it connects and works perfectly.
Out of curiousity I tried Internet Sharing from the device launched Slingplayer from my computer using the tethered connection and it works perfectly.
This leads me to believe that T-Mobile is blocking the connection. Any ideas to get around it.
On a side note my SIM card is provisioned for the Total Internet and the Slingplayer works fine when I use the same SIM card on a Dash 3G.
I have the stock T-Mo ROM and no mods done to it.
Please help

Here in the UK my sling media player works fine over the 3 network and wifi. So I would think you are right and it's your network that is blocking it or some settings need to be changed.

I'm in Atlanta on the T-Mo 3G network and TP2. Slingplayer works great, way better than when I was with ATT. By the way I have the unlimited internet plan of $34.99 if that helps.

Are you using the finder ID ?
At the moment it's working ok for me using the (easier) sling finder ID. But,
I have have seen problems connecting in the past.
I'm currently running Energyrom Genesis (WM 6.5). I dont remember if the problem occured when I was running the original 6.1.
In any case, you might have better luck using direct IP access instead of the Sling Finder. It's kinda complicated if you've never delt with setting up Port Forwarding on your router.
You also will probably need to set up a dynamic DNS server to find you IP from the outside (unless you have a static IP - dyndns.com). I don't remember if the sling box can take care of this (I have a network HDD that performs the function).
There are instructions on the Sling web site.
This also has an advantage that you don't need to bounce through the sling site to find your box.

works well for me over $5.99 tzones, so its gotta be the settings you're using. as mentioned, try both the sling finder ID or the direct ip.

Works for me on unbranded TP2 on Tmobile. I suspect you need to go to Tmobile internet connection settings and untick Use proxy. I have done this to also get Exchange direct push email to work

doesn't work for me on new AT&T
I just got my AT&T Tilt2 today and Slingplayer isn't working. I get the same message. It works on my laptop, so it's not the Sling side. It also worked on my Fuze.

try making sure "use proxy" is not ticked. I do this as it seems better for surfing etc (never fan of proxies) but HAVE to do it for Exchange Activesync to work

In my Connections, the Media Net setting under the Proxy section has "This network connects to the internet" checked, but there is no check on the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
I went back to my Fuze and Slinplayer doesn't work on that now.
Could if be AT&T? I upgraded my phone but did not want to change anything on my account as I already had unlimited data and a text message package. Is there something they could have done there that will cause this? As previously stated, Slingplayer works on my laptop. The problem started mid-week this week about the time my new ATT Tilt2 would have been 'activated' and shipped.
Thanks!

Did you test it on WiFi? I loaded Sling on my stock AT&T Tilt2 and it works just fine (I had unlimited data before the switch). I had to add my Slingboxes seperately by entering their finder ID's but after that it worked.
I first tried it traveling in Austin TX and now in So Calif and it's all good. I'm also using WMLonglife and the radio stays normally in Edge, start Sling and the radio now auto switches to 3G and streams away. Close the prog and it switches back to Edge 2G.

I did test it on wifi this morning ... no luck. That's when I thought it likely wasn't the service and it was the application (it was around 2:00 am when I was messing with this hours ago and was beat). I just don't know what has changed on the phone app. I guess I'll try deleting the current slingbox and add it back from scratch and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestions.

Works fine on my tilt2 on AT&T...now if we could just get slingplayer to play at high resolutoin...its only at 320x240....at least push it to 640 x 480 would make picture sharper...

Works fine on my Tilt 2 on AT&T... Make sure you remove proxy and are using Media Net (wap.cingular)

Still nothing ... I've got the wap.cingular. Can you give me the step by step? I'm sorry, but I really need some assitance here. If I don't get this working, the Tilt2 goes back. I'm not sure what the problem is, as someone suggested bandwidth. But if Slingplayer is working for others, it should be working for me. If AT&T changed something on my simple phone upgrade (wanted to keep all cell, data and text services the same as my current), then I need to know. But if there's a simple setting I need to change, I'll do that. I am just unclear as to what eh exact steps are ... 1, 2, 3, etc. Sorry, but I need it simple since this doesn't appear to be working for me.
I just went back to clear storage and have the standard AT&T ROM. I ran the SlingPlayer Mobile .exe and loaded that to the phone. Please tell me what to do next. It seems as though if should be pretty simple from this step forward for those who have it working.
I need it that simple as everything I've tried isn't working.
Thanks!

I'd say make sure you have the latest Sling Mobile player. Mine worked straight off after I entered the slingfinder numbers. I did NOT have the proxy removed and it works just fine via WiFi, 2G, and 3G, but YouTube would not play videos until I removed proxy tonight.
Make sure that you can open a browser and freely surf the web, go to Sling Media, make sure you do have internet access?

If you tether a PC thru your 3G phone and can run Slingbox player on the PC at 640x480 or better (as I regularly do) then it can't be a bandwidth issue. It is an artificial limitation of the PPC client.

It's working now ... for whatever reason?!
Well, if all else fails, then load the program again. This time it worked. Not sure what happened the first time around, but it's working now. I'm not sure what happened differently, but I guess it doesn't matter. It's working now. Thanks for the recommendations! Cheers!

3G and HSPDA connection Problem..

I changed the apn settings on my desire and now I am having problem connecting to the internet using either 3G or hSPDA. before changing the settings I was able to connect to the internet using 3G but now when I have try to go online and the 3G icon is displayed the phone does not do anything and if it will evetually connect to the internet it will only do via the H (HSPDA)... I have reset the apn to default and its all the same, no improvement, I have input the mms settings again with no effect.... no its getting on my nerves now... am thinking of reseting the phone back to factory settings.....

I suggest you get new settings from here: http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS

thanks for that

tried it but they only had hd2 and touch 2 listed for phones under android...

So far i believed that hd2 and touch 2 phones are wm not android :? ??? strange...
are there any options for different android phones? hero, magic, etc... as they should work with desire

just go to the APN settings and press Menu>return to defaults. The settings are preprogrammed in for t-mobile UK, and they are definitely correct.
As for not being able to connect on 3G, that is a known t-mobile issue. When 3G is showing, it is supposed to change up to H when you try and send/receive data. sometimes, their network does not change up successfully, and you end up sitting on 3G with no data transfer.
turn mobile data off and back on again and that usually fixes it. There's three or four threads on that on the T-mobile website.

Now this is interesting ...
After I read your reply below, I think that issue is NOT only in the UK.
Because I use T-Mobile NL and I got exactly the same problem!!!
I am still using my HTC Kaiser though and I was (still) confused why I "suddenly" could not connect to the internet
I use Opera Mini, at first it was connected fine, browsed several websites and then suddenly dead on ... cannot connect.
Restart Opera Mini, same issue ... the connection still there.
Restart the data connection ... there you go, I was able to browse again.
Damn! I did not know that this is T-Mob issue I tried to clean my WM device, reinstall Opera and whatnot ....
Oh yeah, this issue just happened recently ... like a month or two months.
Before that, I have no problem like this.

Hello man, I have exactly the same problem with a LG E900 with Windows Phone 7, the phone was bought from Spain (Movistar), everything is fine except 3G.
Did you find the solution for this?

does 3g works at all or are you having problems only with IE?

go to the dignotic page
Intall the diagnotic app and look at post #150
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839154

Hi sandrobber, I have a LG Optimus 7 and the same problem, the wifi and EDGE and Wifi works without problem, I've checked and my mobile operator uses 850UMTS band for 3G and the phone works with that band, I've set the correct APN but I still without 3G and EDGE really sucks!
I've check the post #150 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839154 but I can't find any place to use these codes in order to set up my 3G automatically, that codes works with my LG Phone? How can I enter those codes?
I will really appreciate your help.

I have the same problem too, and mostly on EDGE... I have to restart the phone to get it working again... Very frustrating if you tell me.

LOL, now that you all say that , I have the same problem to.
I need to turn off 3G if I want to have an internet conection.
did you all flash some rom's on the phone ?

The thing is, I don't have 3G 2100 in the country I live in
I can only rely on EDGE, so activating/deactivating 3G is useless for me.
I didn't flash. Just upgraded to 7392 two weeks ago.
I'm looking for a way to completely reset the network stack (equivalent to a reset) in order to re-establish a fresh connection.
My old Nokia E63 with the same SIM card had no problem establishing data. The only problem was the sometimes, the connection was really slow to attach (something like 15 seconds). I therefore suspect that WP7 phones have a too stringent timeout problem, i.e. the phone gives up trying to establish a connection after a failed first attempt (the phone didn't wait long enough).

I am thinking of just reflashing only the radio rom from a stock o2 rom (I have o2 Germany)

Yeah you can try that. I have the gut feeling that it's firmware-dependant. If someone can try with the latest Samsung FW that's been posted recently... I'm a bit lazy to lose all my settings

Data connection keeps dropping

I'm running my Captivate glide on Orange network (device is unlocked).
I rooted it following all the steps shown in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378082 (BTW, works great thanks).
I kept AT&T rom, but issue happens also with Rogers rom.
This happens only on 3G/3G+ connections.
WiFi works great.
The issue looks quite simple: data connection drops (very) often.
No more email push notifications, ...
Have to go to Settings > Network > Airplane mode : switch it on and then witch it off to get data connection back.
It is not an operator issue. My other phone(s) are using the same and data connection works.
Is this a radio rom issue ? Is there a fix ? (didn't find a thing related to that issue).
Anyone having this issue ?

Depends on how strong your network is, I have experienced this a few times.

I keep getting this now that I have had more experience with it, anyone else experiencing random sharp drops in data speed/connection?

Well, I have 4 out of 5 bars... Signal looks strong enough to me.
If I use the same SIM card in a HTC MyTouch 4G slide => Works great, no data connection drops at all !
Looks like it depends on what programs are running and using the data connection:
- email push - connection last long enough.
- when I'm running Bejive (IM) - connection last a bit less (before the 1st drop).
- when I add Skype & LoudTalks : almost every 5 minutes connection drops.
I also noticed that after a voice phone call, sometimes data connection doesn't (cannot) restart by itself ...
Here is an idea :
Is there a way to tweak Operator connection like it can be done with HTC phones : GSM + CDMA, CDMA Only ?
Because when you switch the phone to CDMA only, it uses different frequencies and allow to keep data connections while talking on the phone.
Didn't find that option in Captivate Glide settings ...

I just checked ... I don't have the "Network Mode" option in "Mobile Networks" section.
I have Roaming, allow data connection, APN, ... but not Network mode.
Weird...
I checked the operator info. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
I'm stuck ...and it keeps happening. No solution for now.

Maybe try flashing the Rogers kernel and ROM since that's what I have?

Already did that, but that was a few days ago when looking for the WiFi tethering feature ...
I'll flash it back to Rogers kernel & ROM and test.

Update: Flashed Rogers rom.
Good news is I now have the Network settings back. (AT&T rom is not the right one, for sure !)
Data connection last longer. But the issue is still here.
Still investigating...
Anyone else having this issue ?

the day before yesterday, I went to the copier room in my school and stayed for about 2 hours (too many copying). before i get out, i have no signal (mobile network not available). I need to go out to have signal back or reboot.
It happened again yesterday on the exact same location, I'm going to be there again now.
I believe it might be location wise....in my case at least.

I checked, looks like it is not linked to a specific location. I've been travelling and issue kept occuring.
Once data connection is ok, it usually stays up for 2 to 5 minutes, then drops.
"4G" symbol is still displayed - but no more data connection. Web pages not available in browser, no email sync, no more IM, ...
While data connection is down, Cellphone still works, WiFi as well.
It may be linked to an APN issue ... Or definitely a Radio ROM issue.
I'm running Baseband I927RUXKJ5.
Anyone else having this issue ?

When I got the phone the AT&T rep told me there was a known issue with the phone dropping down to lower data speed. He told me if I experienced it to get a new SIM card. Doesn't sound exactly the same but maybe try that?

Connectivity issues

Hello,
I have the global version of the mi9SE and experiencing very annoying issues when trying to access certain websites OVER MOBILE NETWORK (WIFI works) which returns errors as per attached screen shots, reporting certain sites (banking particulary) as can't be found or offline.
I temporarily managed to fix the issue by changing APN settings from IPV6 to IPV4 as per a suggestion on the forum of my French network carrier. Unfortunately with the update to android 10 and MIUI 11 erased these settings and now 4g or 3g for that matter simply fails to connect over IPV4 setting after update so I’m back to square one which is immensly irritating.
I can’t work out if this is a carrier issue or a software bug. I’ve tried the following :
- Changing Sim to another phone. No problems there.
- Changing browser. Both chrome and edge are the same as well as the native browser.
- Contacting bank who tell me issue not unheard of but have no solution.
- Contacting my carrier who claim not to have an answer.
I haven’t tried another sim in the handset.
Help would be much appreciated.

Hi
I also use French carrier, bouygues, using android 10 miuimix, just tried ing website and it works fine through 4g.
Have you tried a different ROM? You should have a menu to erase connectivity data in settings may be it could help

Hi thanks for your reply. Vey strange, I too am on Bouygues network and ING website doesn't work for me.
However I must point out that it is the secure part of the website that doesn't work so logging into the "espace client" part of the account, the home page DOES work. Same for you or not ?
I don't understand how it can only be me experiencing this issue which I've had for months now despite doing a factory reset, formatting etc. I'm using the stock global rom OTA from Xiaomi. I surely shoudln't have to flash another rom to get a working phone. I take it Miuimix is a ROM you're using on the Mi9SE ? Just how stable and secure is it ?
tks

MY WIFI hotspot won't work either. It connects to the network but refuses to connect to the internet. No such problem when placing the same sim into another phone and setting up the same hotspot. Could this be a problem with my device hardware I wonder ? I haven't done anything in particular...but these issues weren't there when I first bought the device.

For Hotspot I guess it's related to Android 10 update...
Just tried the secure part of the ing website and indeed it doesn't work for me neither on 4g. But Hotspot works fine.

Great thanks so much for trying at least I know it isn't just and so can conclude an issue with MIUI and the phone. Strange how adjusting VPN settings to IPV4 used to work but now doesn't. I fear the issue is embedded into the OS and I'll probably never find a solution . Wouldn't be so bothered if this was the only site but it's not. I first thought it was just a problem with the websites, then realized it wasn't when the same sites worked over WIFI.
As for the WIFI hotspot issue, still no solution to this problem. The same sim is fine in my Motorola and connects to the internet perfectly over 5ghz band. If I try 5ghz band on the SE, windows simply reports "unable to connect to the network" and over the 2.4ghz the device network will connect but reports "no internet".
It doesn't sound as If the two issues are related from what you say. Is it possible it's the windows firewall blocking the Xiaomi but not the motorola ?
