Up until the official AT&T release of WM6 I have been able to use Slingplayer Mobile on my 8525 (both WiFi and over the AT&T network). I recently updated to VP3g's latest. I am able to work fine over local WiFi, but not over the AT&T network. My thoughts are the it's part of the AT&T crack down on MediaMax users (which I am). I don't use it that much over the network, but was wondering if anyone else has this issue since upgrading to the 'official' release.
I have read on other forums that other users are having the same issue. Basically, when working over the network, I get to the 'Starting' and notice that the indicator goes from H to 3G after a few seconds...and then the message pops up.
Everything else seems to work fine, tho I don't have as much program space (20 MB vs 27 MB) as I did on VP3g's 3.0 version.

I use slingplayer with vp3g's newest rom. works no problem.
I have MediaMax too. wap.cingular works fine.
Run the disable proxy cab and try it then...
And make sure that your My ISP is set to wap.cingular with [email protected] pw. (for the mediamax workaround without using the MediaNet connection(which I believe has a built in proxy)).
But try the disable proxy...
Thank you for the response. I did try the disable proxy with no change in the result (it installs successfully, but Sling does not work).
I was not implying that it was anything to do with VP3G's version of the new OS...I'm sure it's something that I forgot to do.
I was thinking it might have to do with a recent upgrade from DSL Ultra to Xtreme (where you have a dedicated IP address)...so today I performed the Slingplayer internet access setup again. Tried to access via the AT&T network with the same results...
Locating
Connecting
Starting...
Starting...
Then after about 5 to 10 seconds it goes from H to 3G and and back to H and I get the SlingPlayer popup that says 'Cannot continue streaming due to weak connection. Please try again later.'
I have 3 bars, so I don't think it's the signal...I wonder if something needs to be setup on the DSL modem now that it has a dedicated IP address...
Thank you again for any suggestions.

Having a static IP should not change your upload speed on DSL. It does however mean that you don't have to enter the million digit finder id for the slingbox anymore, just put in your static ip with the proper port.
Have you always been in the same place when this happened? Always at home perhaps? or work? I'm thinking that it might be a tower issue....hmmm
You of course can use PIE and get on the internet no prob right?
Two bars of signal should be fine, I've gotten it to work on one bar of EDGE before (awful quality, and choppy) so it should work great with that strength..,,,
OK. Try this. From your house try to get on (from the 8525) and see if
1) Network lights on slinglink flash(if you have one)
2) Red lights on the slingbox come on/flash (red network should flash I believe; red led on the "u" should come on if connected
Sounds like you are connecting to the box, but losing connection after the handshake.
Go to www.dslreports.com and do an uplink speed test from your home network. Gotta rule out everything....
Hope this helps.
I had the same problem, but upgraded my slingbox to the next build and it is working again. I'm using a PC, and when I loaded slingbox on my pc it said a new version is available.
I've found someone with the same problem!!
My XDA orbit with WM6 slings fine within my home wifi network but doesn't work anywhere else over gprs or wifi.
Interestingly, it works fine outside my home if I share a wifi connection with my laptop but if the phone connects itself, I get the locating, then streaming then weak connection.
I guess it's an issue with the wifi connection on the phone but quite why it works on my home network but not anywhere else in the world is a mystery!
I have the latest software for slingbox.
All help gratefully received

Which Slingbox Mobile version are you using? Version 1.2 does not work on WM6 (unless you run the patch floating around here) and version 1.5 does.
Very strange
Very strange. Mine works fine with the ATT WM6 Rom. I have cable so I DNS. Every once in a while i get the issue you are talking about but I just soft reset and then the I connect no problem. In case you want to narrow it down...I use the following:
Slingbox Classic
Time Warner Cable
8525 with WM6 and slingplayer version 1.5
I have verified that the issue occurs whether I'm near home or 60 miles away, in either case going through the AT&T network. I do see the light come on my slingbox pro when the PDA says Starting. I've checked and I have the lastest versions for windows, mac, and mobile. I'm wondering if there is some issue with my router as I do remember having to reboot that a few weeks ago (you can see that I don't use the mobile version that much, but of course now I miss it).
I'll check on the router and let you all know. I did have 4 bars today when testing from home...and as I said it works fine via my home WiFi.
Thank you all for the support, it has been great!
Works fine for me w/ Vp3g 3.62
I have a standard vp3g rom w/ 1.54 radio. My Slingbox pro works fine w/ a 3G connection, but no so good w/ Edge (no surprise there.) I'm even running a wireless ethernet bridge to it - not hardwired. I can't explain why you are having any issues, but do confirm you have the latest ROMs on all your networking equipment, including the slingbox and your Router. Good luck.
Still no joy...wondering if I should re-install the OS...I installed Sling Player Mobile again, removed, then re-installed because I noticed that it wasn't listed under the program list via add/remove programs...I suspected that there was something with the last install...
I re-installed ActiveSync 4.5 on my PC because it was acting funny (would disconnect from my PDA with no message sometimes) that seems to be fine now...
I checked my router...it has a passthru setting for my Slingbox IP address and std port.
My DSL modem has IP Passthru to my router...
My only thought is to re-install the OS which has been a pain because I have Garmin Mobile 10 and have been reloading the maps each time so that they are available...I'll copy the garmin folder from My Device to my desktop, maybe that will remove this necessity...
Any more ideas let me know...
Thank you,
Tim
I ran the mobile speed test on DSL reports, at 400k it said 633/512/437 kbs, earlier in the day it said the file was too small. At 1 MB I got 574/454/499 kbs, earlier in the day it was 791 kbs.
I'm in south Florida, I'm using:
ROM version: vp3G 3.62.3
ROM date: 10/11/07
Radio version: 1.50.00.00
Protocol version: 32.83.7020.20H
SlingPlayer Mobile 1.5.0.98
SlingPlayer is loaded on 2GB storage card. It was working with vp3G 3.60...and 1.50.00.00.
I reloaded the OS and with just sling player loaded on internal...still no joy.
I reset the DSL modem to factory settings and enabled IP Passthru for my router, no joy.
I even set my slingbox in the DMZ, no joy.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with my radio..1.50?
I have another option...besides DSL I have cable and may try connecting the sling box through that...
Any other ideas?
I've verified setup for internet viewing via my PC...
Just an idea... Try orb.com.
I stream my video via a connection to cable on my PC via Orb.

Interesting findings this weekend. As mentioned previously, I have internet access via cable modem and DSL Xtreme. I moved the slingbox, pc, and router over to my cable modem. Setup everything so that the PC could see the Sling locally and it works fine. When I try to configure for remote viewing, it does not work! I manually configured the router and still no Joy.
I then put the router and slingbox on the DSL LAN and reset the router to defaults (no port forwarding, etc.) Configure everything to work locally, then setup remote network viewing...sling setup thinks all is fine. I check the router...nothing has changed, no port forwarding entries, etc. So I manually configure.
I hook my pc up to the cable modem directly, get internet access and attempt to connect to the sling. It connects almost immediately and then sits on Optimizing for about a minute without any bars or activity going on within the viewer.
I'm wondering if this is a problem with my router...I can run speed tests with multi megabyte files without any issues...
My router is a d-link wbr1310..which used to work...but I guess it's possible that my problem has been discovered...any thoughts?
BTW, I down graded my radio to 1.48 prior to doing all of this and that didn't make any difference which led me to do all of the following for problem isolation.
Thanks for any thoughts...

I have an HTC EVO 4G running FreshEvo 4.1.1.0
The WiFi was working fine without a hitch until recently. It seems that since I upgraded to FreshEvo 4.1.1.0 and updated the radios with the patch, that this is when the problem started.
Now, the WiFi connection "locks up" intermittently and I have to reboot my TrendNet TEW-633GR router so that the phone will connect to it again at least for awhile.
The symptoms are: The WiFi connection with my home router will be fine for awhile. Then, it will not work.
I still get an IP address from the router and the WiFi settings says it's connected. But the connection doesn't work until I reboot the router. But the router isn't really the problem because other phones and my laptop can connect to the router even if the HTC cannot.
To the best as I can tell, the WiFi connection on the HTC locks up when:
A) I run the Roku Remote Control app and something unexpected happens like the app does a force close. The Roku Remote app uses Telnet, I believe.
B) I'm connected by WiFi at home, then leave and the phone switches to 3G. When I come back home, the WiFi between my phone and my router is locked up. However, if I connect to WiFi at another location, it works fine at the other location. Also, I can still connect to my home router with WiFi from my laptop or another phone.
Does anyone have this problem too, or a solution?
Thanks

I would have a go at flashing an alternative radio ROM onto the EVO first. This should be pretty simple if you've already changed ROMs and have a custom recovery.
Hello, I don't know if anyone has this issue. but netflix app on both my S3 and Note 8 crash when on my home WiFi but work fine on 3G. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried deleting cache for Netflix which allows me to login to the netflix app but then crashes a minute later.
It seems like it has something to do w/my Wireless Router setup at home. I even got a new Wireless Router w/no success. Anyone have any ideas?
Again the app works fine on 3G and other WiFi networks.
Thanks in advance.
I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 6P. Fine over cellular data but crashes as soon as connected to my home WiFi network.
I did the OTA update to 5.0.2 a couple of weeks ago on my Nexus 7 2013 LTE.
One change in network behaviour is annoying but I'm wondering if there is a setting I am missing.
I have a WD Passport Wireless and I carry my music around on it. It acts as wireless hotspot and a DNLA media server - running Twonky - and until now I have used Bubble UPNP to stream music. Since 5.0.2 the WiFi will fail to get/ask for a DHCP IP and continue to use the 4G connection while showing a "!" on the WiFi.
If I remove the WiFi profile and re-add then it works - continues to show the "!" for bad internet connection but does get an IP and streams OK - while, as a bonus I still get Internet via the 4G link. As soon as I come off the private WiFi, e.g. when I get to home or work and turn the Passport off, next time the Nexus will again not get an IP for the WiFi connection.
The lack of IP is via the WiFi -> Advanced menu and it shows the MAC but under IP Address: "Unavailable"
I have tried this when underground with no 4G coverage and it seems to then work. So, it seems to be too clever in (not) moving off the 4G.
I have tried a static IP and it doesn't work.
I noticed a toggle for "Aggressive WiFi to mobile handover" in the developer options but neither setting makes much difference
My 4.4.2 Samsung Note 2 continues to work fine, so it's not the WD hotspot
All stock, un-rooted with just dev menus enabled.
Anyone got any suggestions / ideas?
* I am now trying a full factory reset, just in case - as I didn't when I got the OTA and it feels sluggish anyhow.
I'm having an issue with Nest Camera app TuneIn Pro and Google Play store.
Nest Camera App isn't connecting to the Nest service, TuneIn cannot connect to streams and the Play store isn't downloading/updating apps.
Other apps I use are working fine.
I believe this issue may be related to the live wallpaper app I downloaded from the Play store. I guess it messed up network settings.
I reset my network settings and am having the same issue.
This only happens on wifi, they work fine on mobile data.
Before I reset network settings I couldn't even connect to my VPN. After resetting the network settings I can now connect to VPN while on wifi. When I do that all of the apps works fine.
How do I reset/fix this wifi network issue?
Did you already tried connecting to different WiFi without using VPN ? your WiFi / VPN may be the cause of the network problem.

I didn't but just did and the other band works fine. I was connected to the 2.4 band due to the wifi issue with 5ghz on Android 10. I've switched to 5ghz and it works fine now.
I wonder why that is...
Correction, the play store allowed updates but the other apps still didn't work.
