Remote desktop not working over 3G?

Hey guys.
Just got my GNex last week, and remote desktop is a huge thing for me.
I came over from TMobile/Samung Vibrant. I never had an issues connecting to my PC via my phone over remote desktop on 3g. My program of choice was pocketcloud.
Since I got my GNex (Sprint), I have no longer been able to do this. At first I thought it may be the rom (AOKP M6), but then I discovered that I ws able to connec over WiFi, which unfortunately is no help to me. I've tried PocketCloud and Slashtop, two of the most popular clients, and neither will connect.
I'm from Boston, and I'm wondering if maybe the 3g service in my area just can't hack remote desktop.
Does anyone have any other thoughts as to why I may have this problem? I'm very experienced with Android's operating system and onboard issues/mods/hacks, but not so much when it comes to network/internet issues and how that stuff works.
thanks ahead!

Router setup. Maybe the port you are trying to connect to gets blocked in your router?
Check which port number you connected with on your other phone.

It could be possible that sprint would block certain ports to dial out on but I don't know for sure. It definitely sounds like a carrier issue and not a device problem. Call them up and see what they say.

would tweaking the DNS settings affect something like this? are there alternate DNS settings?

Did you ever find a solution? I'm having the same problem as you.
I have a GSM GNex from Google.

Significant slower speed while downloading a torrent on nexus 7??

Has anyone realize that download speed on Nexus 7 is significantly slower on the Nexus 7? I can get a much better speed when I use my nexus 4 to download the same torrent. And I've also tried different clients (utorrent, bittorrent, atorrent etc.) that doesn't help either. Any thought on how to improve this?

Play with your wifi settings like wifi optimization and such, that particular option has slowed my wifi on other devices.

I haven't had any issues download torrents. Try forwarding different ports on your router. I get 2.6 mb/s downloading torrents which is what my computer gets and what my ISP provides, and I'm running my nexus off the 5ghz band on my dual band router. 26 Mbps Down/2.57 Mbps Up

i have the same issue
I have both nexus tablet 7 12 & 13 in front of me connected to the same access point and both using tTorrent pro app. 2012 is downloading at +300kbps while 2013 barely reaches 100kbps. What is the problem???

I had the same issue with kitkat, previous device on 3.2 OS run fine. PC too.
I disabled uTP in flud (network), and I limited connections to 30 (bandwidth) or 21.
Probably it will resolve problem.
If not, forward ports on router, and set it in BT client
i.e. 6881~6889 or 18006 UTP&UDP.
Eventually also disable upnp, or also change storage to SD, or internal memory.
I have also enabled encryption out and in, and both level. I'm not sure, maybe if it will helps here I write.
At the end you can check ttorent with utp disabled/or prevented from limit ~sth like this, that's the other solution.
In Android options you can test turning off optimizing Wifi option.
I also met with serious troubles with achieving proper speeds during attempts of streaming torrents. Unfortunately, now there is no any torrent stream app which has extended options of p2p protocol, for applying given instructions above, excluding mTorrent, (port setting and encryption) which is still not enough, and flud still rules among all android p2p clients, which allows to get some more decent speeds, maybe not as at PC, but decent.
And flud still surprises, having option of sequential downloading, which means transforming way of downloading, just for watching in fly, during downloading, to not spread pieces around during downloading, so in that way like bitx or tvp, or mTorrent works. We can see the 'pieces' in a diagram, and just start watching after some time when enough data is collected. Mostly when ETA corresponds with duration of movie. And then, just find your file, and open by your usual player. That's it. I recommend MX Player. Finds different subs in many languages, allows switching.
So, with my instructions for flud given above, or just with flud as solution for problem with slow torrent downloads on Android, especially streams, now you can finally achieve decent speeds to stream i . e. 2GB FHD file with 4 mb network bandwidth on devices with troubles with low speed of downloading torrents on Android.
So, enjoy.

[Q] Chromecast & Nexus 7 Casting Problems

So I'm having issues with my Nexus 7 casting to my TV. I can cast fine if I have my tablet on and active but once I turn off the screen and set it aside, whatever I'm casting will only go for a minute or so before cutting off. It seems as if my WiFi is turning off and telling Chromecast to stop playing. I have already made sure to "Keep WiFi On Always" and also disabled "WiFi Optimization." The odd thing is that I do not have this issue with my HTC One.
I've tested this with Pandora, Songza, and Viki. I have also clean flashed stock OTA, CleanROM, and CM11. All no luck. The only solution I have found is to use an app called REGPON wifi KeepAlive. Does anyone else have a similar experience that can help me so that I'm not dependent on this app?

Nobody else owns an N7 with a Chromecast and has issues?

Hi,
I am also having the same issue with Viki. It is happening not just only on Nexus 7 but also on Nexus 5 too. I realized that other than Google apps the rest of the apps have this issue.

I'm having the exact same problem, whether using my Windows 8.1 PC or Nexus 7, but does NOT occur with HBO GO, but does with Pandora, Songa. Haven't figured out the solution yet.

Under WiFi advanced settings, check the keep WiFi on during sleep setting is set to always.

Tablet Talk cuts off internet to other apps?

Hi,
I'm using Tablet Talk on Nexus 4 phone and Nexus 7 tablet installed in my car dash. The application works totally fine except for one strange issue: it appears to cut off internet to other apps installed on Nexus 7. Internet connection is shared by the phone via Bluetooth.
When Tablet Talk is connected, Youtube shows connection error, Waze navigation cannot reach its servers most of the time (though not always), Chrome browser either works extremely slowly (loading google search results for about 3 minutes) or don't work at all.
Everything works fine as soon as I disconnect Tablet Talk.
I was unable to google similar issue reported by other Tablet Talk users, so maybe I'm doing anything wrong?
Any ideas are most welcome.

If you are using Bluetooth to connect to tablet talk, and to share internet.... Then there is your problem, I think u can only have one device connected with Bluetooth at a time.
Try setting phone as mobile hotspot, and connect the nexus 7 via WiFi. Then use tablet talk in WiFi mode. And forget about Bluetooth and its narrow bandwidth.

I would agree if there is no internet at all - either Tablet Talk or internet. However, there are two things that make me believe that there's another reason: first, there is internet connection, yet somewhat flaky, in Waze navigation app, and some others, while Tablet Talk is connected. Next, Tablet Talk uses the same bluetooth connection - no extra [virtual] device or BT profile appears in the bluetooth connection list, as far as I remember.
I've asked the Tablet Talk developer about this; still awaiting their response.

Yup its still one connection but 2 data feeds, therefore 2 connections through Bluetooth. it makes sense to me this issue. That's why I never ran tablet talk this way. I know Bluetooth don't have much bandwidth.
I would be curious of the answer too. I use tablet talk just not in this configuration.

Sure, but yet it's always been sufficient for any youtube video and other tasks. I don't believe that Tablet Talk in standby mode consumes all the bandwidth... but who knows, maybe you're right. I'll try to find a tool that'll allow to monitor BT bandwidth/load, if it's technically possible. Thanks for the clue!

I'll post it here. Today I've received the developer's acknowledgement for my support inquiry - they've escalated it to 2nd level support for review.

Anybody have bluetooth audio issues after 4.4.3 update?

After the 4.4.3 update, when I play audio through a bluetooth speaker, it stutters every so often. It happens with both Google Play Music and Pocketcasts. When playing a video podcast through Pocketcasts, the audio will skip and get out of sync with the video. I've tried multiple bluetooth speakers and it happens on all of them. I haven't tried a factory reset or anything yet.
I saw a comment from another person with a similar issue on a blog post about the 4.4.3 update, but I haven't seen anything on xda yet. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? I've also got a Nexus 5 and it seems to be fine after the 4.4.3 update.

yes, same stuttering with my nexus 7 2013. better than my bluetooth problems with 4.4.2 though, as that caused full dropouts and having to reboot the whole tablet.

That's the thing. I had zero problems with 4.4.2.

This has always been the case for me ever since owning this Nexus 7. But for me, this only happens when I'm connected to 802.11a 5Ghz wireless. When I'm connected to 802.11n 2.4Ghz, my Bluetooth seems fine. And the strange thing is that my stereo Bluetooth headset seems to me that it sounds better with more base and treble when connected to 802.11n vice 802.11a. It may be a placebo effect on my ageing ears, but none the less who wants the video mouth lag and stuff. So, I keep my Nexus on 2.4Ghz only in the WiFi advanced mode all the time now.

That's interesting. I just renamed my 5ghz SSID to be the same as my 2.4ghz. So maybe it wasn't the 4.4.3 update. I'm going to try forcing it to 2.4ghz. Thanks!

So after using it for a few hours on 2.4ghz, I can almost definitely say that the 5ghz was the problem. I don't have any audio stutters or video sync problems now.

Not sure if it may be a Nexus hardware problem from Asus or wireless router though. I'm using a DLink DIR850/AC1200 wireless router. So if your wireless router is different, than its probably a Nexus problem.

I was having problems as well as soon as I did the OTA update this morning. I've been connecting to a Bose Soundlink Mini for months without any issues before the 4.4.3 update. After the update, sound would stutter every 15 seconds or so, and sometimes stop playing entirely. Switching to 2.4 ghz seems to have fixed the problem. I have the Netgear R7000 router, so it's unlikely it's due to both our routers.
When I was connected to 5ghz, the problem was much worse when I opened a Wifi Analyzer app or browsed the internet. Thanks for the switching to 2.4ghz tip, you saved me a few frustrating hours. Already contacted Google and told them the issues, but it was before I tried connecting to 2.4ghz

I've got a Asus RT-AC66 router.

Same problem here. Nexus 5 connected to a Logitech Mobile UE Boombox. Was always working fine (with 4.4.2). Now with the update to 4.4.3 google music app stutters all the time. Really annoying. (AVM Fritzbox 7390 - but I don't want to go to 2.4 GHz). Haven't tried other music apps though...

Searched for "bluetooth audio skipping" and found this thread. This starting affecting me right after the 4.4.3 update, also.
I'll try forcing 2.4GHz and hopefully that fixes the issue.

Hi,
I just got a nexus 7 (2013) recently. I get the audio stutter when listening to Pandora using a pair of Samsung bliuetooth headphones on the nexus 7. Switching to my iPhone 6 plus, same headphones, no stutter.
The nexus 7 is running Android Lollipop 5.1.1.
It gets even worse! In addition to the stutter, the music also speeds up and slows down constantly. It's like listening to a record player with a bad motor that can't spin the same speed consistently. I'm really surprised, as this tablet appears to be awesome in every other way. The headphones I am using are Samsung Bluetooth noise canceling headphones.
