[Q] MHL WiFi

Hello,
I purchased a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and connected them to my google galaxy nexus with aokp_maguro_build-27 with kernel 18.6 fransco.
I have my MHL adaptor plugging into my TV via the HDMI cable. I have my WiFi on trying to stream youtube or browse the web, but it seems the signal strengh of my wifi router has dramatically dropped as soon as the MHL device is plugged in.
Maybe all the power is being concentrated in projecting the image out the phone to the MHL adpator and not leaving enough for the wifi to operate properly.
Does anybody have an idea on whats happening?

What your thinking makes sense. Have you tried leaving the phone in the same place, but unplugging the adapter? Try to eliminate interference from the tv. Try this:
- Start everything a you described to replicate the issue.
- Just turn off the TV and test your wifi
- Just unplug the TV side and test your wifi
- Unplug you're phone side and test
- Move the phone away from the TV and toast
- etc etc

Same Problem here.
Seems as if wlan won`t work while MHL connected. At least not with AOKP. Itried different Kernels with AOKP. No change.

Try stock to see if its a hardware issue.

yeah - will do
edit - can you confirm that it should work on stock?

tried several roms now - including stock.
pos doesn`t work - will check now with a friends GT 10.1

hdmi not working

I just bought a hdmi cable to the phone, but unfortunately when I connect the phone to my TV, the HDMI icon appears and then disappears, reappears, this happens all the time and I have no video. Has anyone had a similar problem?
I have the stock firmware

That sounds like the cable or the port are faulty, resulting in losing connection.
Have you tried another cable?

No, will try it tomorrow.
Thanks for the clue

maybe you have a problem with the hdmi service

I have faced the same problem. The new bought HDMI converter was faulty. changed and it worked.

I had a similar problem with a cheap HDMI cable, try another cable :good:

this product can be a solution

Should work
Hi Buddy,
Try this
1> Back up all your data (Contacts,Apps,Data)
2> Connect to sony PC Companion
3> Check for update
4> Repair
I followed the same steps and HDMI worked well.

[Q] Very weird problem with the wifi and my network

I have my tv, my pc, my nas, my WD live and my phone all connected under the same network of course.
As I was watching a tv show, I picked the phone to answer to a what's app conversation and the tv shows frozed for 5 seconds on the TV.
I thought it was a one time case. Tonight I was watching another tv show and the same thing happened! Once I pick the phone and use its connection it makes the WD live freeze!
This must be a problem of the Galaxy nexus because I just bought it and with my old Desire S I never had this issue.
I'm on Black Bean AOKP and it uses the franco kernel. Any idea on what the problem might be?
Many thanks.

Looks like your phone hogs all the data when you use your phone. Maybe what's app is at fault. Try doing something else that uses a lot of data on your phone while streaming on your tv (say, watch you tube on the phone) and see if you get that sudden spike in usage. If it doesn't occur, could be what's app is the culprit and you need to contact the dev or find a new app

Will do tonight. It never occured to me that it could be a what's app problem. :good:
I'll post it if I have updates, you never know on the internet who might have your same problem.

I reinstalled what's app, looks like doing so solved the issue.

Persistent video glitches

I noticed the other day while Netflix was on there were frequent but very slight lags in video playback. I can't say it's dropping frames because I've seen what that looks like--best I can describe it is the video playback sort of goes into slow motion but only for a split second (happens maybe 1 to 3 times per minute)
At first I thought it was Netflix, notoriously problematic on aftv, but today I noticed it's happening on xbmc. The files are played from my local server.
My other aftv doesn't do this. It's running the same firmware except it's on WiFi while the one with playback issues is hardwired. I bring it up in case someone thinks it's a possible network issue and not aftv related. If so how would you go about troubleshooting? Different Ethernet cable? Or maybe this is software related...any feedback is good especially if you experience similar issues. Thanks.

Ethernet is always better than wifi. Maybe its trying to cathup to the connection. Do this simple test, reboot and unhook the ethernet cable and try it with wifi and see if it still happpens. Netflix has that thing where they pay ISPs for faster connection so if it does not happen on wifi, I am guessing your ethernet connection is too good for Netflix. I know that sounds weird, but it happens.

How would Netflix know if you're connected by Ethernet or WiFi?

For one I never said anything about Netflix knowing your connection, but if you wanna get technical, every website you visit knows exactly what kind of connection you are using. Not only do they know what kind of connection you use, but they know exactly who your service provider is, what your IP address is and exactly where you are in the world, within a few feet. Also, an ethernet connection will always be faster and much more stable and consistant than your WiFi connection. Thats why I said his ethernet connection may be making it hard for the stream to catchup, in turn causing glitches in the stream. Maybe you should go back and read my reply again before you make a fool of yourself. Netflix does pay ISPs for faster speeds. They started doing it a couple years ago and it pissed the government off, cause they thought Netflix was gonna charge their customers for the extra speeds, but in the end the government allowed it and now a lot of media streaming sites are doing the same exact thing. For example, they pay a company like Verizon to let let them have direct access to their network which makes Netflix faster for its customers. All the major ISPs are now letting video sites do the same, cause the sites are paying good money to the ISPs to make their sites faster for their customers.

Had to read it twice but what you're saying actually makes sense. My speeds are very fast. They actually test considerably higher on 5ghz than wired but usually hardwired is better because 1. It only needs to be so fast to stream 2. Less interference when it's wired.
Also, my Dad's speeds are are about 1/10 of what I get yet he streams Netflix flawlessly over WiFi. Taking that into consideration, it does seem logical faster speeds could potentially cause playback issues. But what I don't have the expertise to understand... couldn't the manufacturer of the device have some sort of governor to limit that connection?--using only what's needed for sd 720p 1080 or 4k? I'm just thinking that if what you're saying is true--and I think it might be--a lot of people would report it. Especially those with gigabyte speeds because I'd imagine they'd experience the most severe trouble.
Update--yes. The lag dissapeared when connected to WiFi. Con--When I mount drives with adbFire it only shows up as a smb share when hardwired. I have to put up with the glitch or go back to stickmount and a samba apk. But appreciate the info. Thanks!

Disregard--Double post.

Wow. I meant neither insult nor injury. It was a simple, innocent question. Try not to read a person's tone into what they type. You come across like someone who needs a hug.
Peace.

3G dongle issue

Hi,
I have KLD rk3066 with malayks rom and huawei dongle.
I have disconnection while I am driving (the signal bars are displayed but the 3G sign dissapears).
I tried the script in the faq page, and I also bought powered USB splitter.
I still facing the same issue.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks.

May need to look at using a usb powered hub (or similar)
