In general browsing I notice a lot of people have dl/speeds in excess of 7-800Kb/s. I have only seen that speed once, and it was in an AT&T store. I am usually getting edge speeds (1-200Kb/s) even though I am for certain in a 3G area. Am I missing some magic bullet setting?
I have:
Hermes
Schap's 4.31 ROM WWE
Radio 1.10.x.x (gonna reflash that today to 1.54.x.x)
I have tried to use the isp.cingular connection; but, it appears that it has been disabled. Apparently, you have to have a tethering plan to use it.
Any help you can give would be most appreciated.
I have an 8525 from AT&T. I use the network configurator from CRC's 9.2 WM 6.1. I upgraded my radio to 1.54.30.10. I see very comporable speeds on 3G vs Wi-Fi on my cable internet connection. It uses the isp.cingular, I didn't notice a difference with wap.cingular. I do not use tethering, I don't even have the PDA plan, I use the MEdia Net unlimited for half the price. I had problems with the 3G on AT&T with WM 6.1 before upgrading the radio.
I don't know where I can speed test on my mobile, are you estimating speeds, or do you have a site that will test the speeds?
I test the speed using dslreports.com simple mobile speed test. Link to follow.
Just out of curiosity, would you post your connection settings for isp.cingular? I set it up the way I always have and it doesn't seem to work for me anymore. I have PDA personal express unlimited. So, I should be fine in the "what plan do you have dept."
AT&T Settings
Access Point Name (APN):
wap.cingular
or isp.cingular
User Name:
[email protected]
or [email protected]
(make sure if you use wap, use wap for both)
Make sure you caps the user name.
Password:
cingular1
You must set up a proxy server.
Check both boxes on proxy setup.
Server:
wireless.cingular.com
Click on advanced, make sure there is HTTP and socks have a server. They should do this automatically. HTTP server is wireless.cingular.com:80, socks is wireless.cingular.com:1080. The 80 and 1080 are the port numbers.
When I had problems with my connection whether I did auto or manual configs I still had issues until I upgraded my radio version. Once I did that I haven't had problems since.
Hope that helps.
ARGH THESE SETTINGS ARE WRONG.
I know people who work at AT&T, those settings are far outdated. Use the new ones!
wap.cingular, no username, no password, no domain, click advanced and enable IP Header compression.
The proxy server is OPTIONAL unless you want to use MEdiaNet features (like checking your minutes) in which case it is REQUIRED.
isp.cingular is being phased out. You will get the same speeds from wap.cingular.
arrghhh. The speeds okay now that I have flashed the new radio. But I still can't get youtube to work in HTC streaming media player. Just sits there connecting.
YouTube is AWESOME!
I just went to that speed test.
I got ~140 Kb/s with EDGE/GPRS
I got ~480 Kb/s with UMTS/HSDPA
I got ~1200 Kb/s with Wi-Fi via Cable internet.
I too could not figure out a way for YouTube to work. I tried everything I could find, TCMP, Falsh, not even the mobile youtube would work, when I was finally ready to give up I found this little gem.
It is a program that will querie YouTube for vidoes. You can download them to your phone (as .flv), or stream them. It doesn't go to YouTube, it just finds the videos. You can change the amout to bring you, and your buffer size. It gives you a description when you highlight the video, you can go to related videos. You can search by most watched/commented/rated, etc, or just type in a search and click the button, and away you go. I uploaded a video myself from my mobile phone, and searched for the video 10 minutes later, and was watching the video again on my mobile phone. This searches the real YouTube, not just the mobile version.
I have been struggling with this issue for weeks at a time since the beginning with AT&T here in Puerto Rico. I updated my phone to the new settings, (no username / password) something AT&T didn't notify me about, even in a text message , email, letter or anything (thanks to the XDA Developers!). I just did a dslreports.com test witht the HSDPA icon with 2-3 bars and got 64 kbps So lately I just been switching 3G OFF and using EDGE which I just tested at 187 kbps. I talked to an AT&T guy (yet again) on Saturday to open a ticket with their network guys, but we'll see what happens...
I'm too suing CRC's ROM and the new radio 1.54.30.10, but I had the issue with the offical 1.54.07.00 radio as well.
Streaming videos from mobile Youtube site no go!
So,, I only have WM6 not WM6.1,, and can't seem to get the videos playing on the streaming media player using 3G.. So is that a known thing? If so,, is that cab you just mentioned the best thing to use? I have Coreplayer which I think plays most files, but when I go to the Youtube mobile,,and click on video link, Streaming media player gets automatically associated,,tries to play video,,ends up saying"Failed to Find network".. I am sure that it should work if I am using Wifi,, but would like it to work on 3G..Thanks for anything else you might say about using that cab.
i'm based in ireland here on the 3 network,i have lost count of how many wm6 and wm6.1 roms i've flashed to my hermes ,yet every time the streaming and aspects of home page navigation are cripled or absent completely.
in the course of pulling out my hair/finding solutions i discovered that the user agent string is a vital if not THE vital component of PIE operation.
i used some cooked dll files and n95/spoof UA cabs with significant success.3 now support the kaiser so i'm using that ua on the hermes and find that mobile internet pretty much works as you'd expect with streaming etc.
i wonder if you guys have a similar issue.
point your browser at http://useragent.org and take note then google around or compare with stock rom to see if it is affecting you.
good luck and please report findings
Thanks for Youtube play cab.. it works on my 3G however,,,
was also looking at this UA (user agent thing), which I think I have seen in my Opera settings. Only now, I have to figure what I am actually supposed to do with that. Change it? My problem, of poor 3G speed using the internet (tried some speed tests). I compare to watching a friend bringing up an internet page on his iPhone (maybe I shouldn"t?) So ,one might ask,, if I can play youtube videos with this cab,, isn't that enough? Well yes, but mostly I would really like to use 3G for browsing,, and for some reason that is where everything seems to slow down. Any I can have anywhere from 2 to five bars on 3G, no difference. I would look into this UA thing, if only a setting change, but don't want to start screwing with dll's
It will load the photo pic/vid in browsing for vids and searching but when you go take watch it just gives you the continuous loading (spin wheel) but no percent loading
Hi,
Just tried this for you and its working fine on mine
Jas
Are you on T-Mobile? Have you disabled HTTP proxy? I ran the youtube app on my Hermes a few months ago, and I seem to recall it would only work if you bypassed T-Mobiles proxy.
Thats a very good point, thats caused me problems in the past with exchange and Slingplayer etc.
YouTube not working
Hi Guys,
I can't get youtube to work either, I have already disabled the proxy as that screwed up my exchange connection but I'm not even getting a list of videos, it just says that there is no connection available at this time - I am connected via GPRS.
I'll try it again tonight when connected through HSDPA and also via WIFI to see if T-Mobile is blocking me or it's just crap.
Youtube
Has anyone tried m.youtube.com?
it connects through your streaming media program, it works perfectly that way.
no issues wid youtube here! i will say that over GPRS it will not load as connection will time out! over HSPDA it works and with WIFI also. just palyed a 10 min video over HSPDA and didn't even stop to buffer once!
Yes tried to disable proxy but they were already disabled. On at&t running edge and wifi no worky Besides this issue awesome phone

I am having the same problem with a TP2 on the ATT network. What I have noticed is that Youtube will work using the wi-fi but as soon as I use it on the EDGE network it renders the wi-fi inoperable. I can still view videos over the EDGE network but I can no longer view through the wi-fi connection. I have tried a soft reset but the only way it will work again is through a hard reset. I have also experienced it not working on both wi-fi and EDGE using a different ROM. I am currently using the Energy ROM 20090917 Standard and it was working fine over the Wi-Fi until I tried to view a video through the EDGE network.
The ROM I found that would work on both Wi-Fi and EDGE is the UDK TiRv1.1_0409, however the MMS didn't work because of Manila 2.5 so I switched to the above ROM with Manila 2.1.
Is there a way to clear the Youtube cache or reset its settings?
no issues here, you tube works flawlessly
Has anyone noticed certain vidoes that are inaccessible via Mobile? For example, I can't access Lonely Island's "I'm on a boat" video via youtube mobile on my tp2 but I have no problem seeing other more non-popular clips.
my youtube wont work
i keep getting a microsoft error message
anyone have any idea how 2 fix that
hello guyes, i was searching all over the internet to find an app for my htc desire to enable video-calling. i found many apps but they are all skype similar, they need internet connection. is there any app or mod that can enable simple video calling through 3g network (not data plan)? i have greek carrier with free minutes of calling and video-calling. thnx in advance
You do know that the Desire does not have the front-facing camera for video calling, right?
Would video calling work without the front camera needed for it? Do you intend to use the 5MP camera on the Desire for a video call and keep switching the phone to see your partner?!
yes i am aware it has only one 5mp cam, i can solve this issue simply with a mirror. i used to have sony erricsson k800 and used videocalling a lot thats. i am very pleased with my htc desire but im a bit dissapointed from this asspect with android phones not supporting video call. but i suppose someone can develop an app or mod to enable videocall
Two options
Qik and Tango both claim to do video calls on 3G. I haven't tried either but if you do post a reply with whatever works...
i tried tango, it requires data plan if on 3g which means internet connection, i will try qik and post a reply
qik is the same thing
Good morning XDA
I am a n00b to posting on here, apologies I have tried a search on Google and Xda.
My problem is that I cannot make any form of VOIP call over my 3g/H+ network be it Skype, G+ or other video/voice chat client.
However interestingly I can tether my 3g to my laptop and it works.
My video chats on my phone work when using a wifi - so i know there is no issue with the phones ability. (Correct me if i am wrong)
I am using Vodafone UK. on a contract.
The other interesting thing is that it worked for a few days when I first got the phone. But stopped after a week.
Any Ideas how to get it to work?
I am rooted.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have the Xperia z5 premium dual and when ever I watch any video it buffers reallybad. I tried the YouTube app and trying to stream any HD (720 or better) buffers every 3 or 4 seconds. I'm using it on t-mobile USA. I do speed tests and they all come back 25-33 maps down and 15 - 25 up. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
I assume you're not on WiFi? I have been watching a video on the YouTube app on WiFi and on HSDPA and I had zero buffering issues. Does your carrier throttle data usage at certain times of the day? Or were you in a particularly busy area for people?

I am using cellular data. I have unlimited lte data with no throttling. I used my note 3 and it doesnt have any issues streaming video. I also had my wife test her note 4 and it streams fine. Weird thing is if I tether to a pc it streams without issues.
It's T-Mobile. Does the same thing on my g4. Will have a z5p soon though.

Its just crazy the note 3 & 4 stream without buffering. I may do a full factory reset to see if it fixes the issue.
