Some notes on the Onlive viewer app

Onlive uses at least two different quality streams.

Spectating (which is all you can do right now) uses a low quality stream. When you are playing a game, you get connected to a high quality stream where game look near local.

The Onlive player app will release this summer or fall and will be compatible with a universal wireless controller that will be compatible with most tablets and phones.

There is at least one game coming out for Onlive that will have exclusive tablet controls in addition to standard controls. The game is called From Dust and was shown at E3.

Also a browser with a 10Gbps connection will be on Onlive this summer or fall too.

Okay, I just got my 3d and my download speeds are unacceptable. We only have 3g here, but on my EVO 4G I got from 980 to 1250kbps all the time. Now on my new EVO 3d I'm getting 25 - 100 kbps. I've tested over and over using different servers. This US unacceptable. Anyone else having problems? I didn't update the system. I got it from radioshshack. Plus there is debris trapped in between the lcd and the glass. I think I'm going to exchange it Tom. Other than that I love the phone.

As someone linked to, I posted the same issue.

My average is about 30k download, but last night around midnight it jumped to 1700 down, which would be great. I have been told that the network is getting killed in my area with activations, so I will wait and see if thats the case until next week.

As a side note, I have all updates installed.

I was noticing the same thing. I was averaging ~250kbps on Speedtest App to multiple servers in good 3G coverage. Then I saw this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1140870 and did as suggested, now I'm getting ~800kbps!

just got back from exchanging the evo 3d, I showed them the stuff stuck under the glass and they gave me a new sealed evo 3d. This one has no dirt in it and the camera switch feels better. But the data speeds are the same, I'm consistently getting 14 - 30 kbps. I tethered it to my laptop using easytether and get the same. I tested using speedtest.net and speakeasy.net on my laptop. So it must be the network. Ill give them a week or 2 to fix it before I call and complain.

It took 10min to DL the speedtest app! jeez

I just got done with the proxy mod and get a max of 202kbps (and it was only once). still getting consistent average of 35kbps......

Cool New App

You probably heard the big news, but Qik was acquired by Skype earlier this year. And we’ve been working hard to release our latest rev, adding some great new features. Now you should be able to enjoy live video chat with everyone you know while you’re on the go—even your friends who use iPhones. Yep. That’s right. The new & improved version of Qik Video by Sprint* enables Sprint EVO users to video chat live with anyone who uses an iPhone or Android over 3G, 4G* and WiFi. Plus, you can still instantly record and share videos with your Facebook friends, Twitter followers, on YouTube and more.

*If you have anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, including multiple apps, delete it/them.

**iOS devices do not currently utilize a 4G network.

Save Video & Update Now!

Qik! Follow these steps so you can see what (and who) you're missing!

Save your videos!

Check to see what version of Qik you've got.

IMPORTANT: If you have Qik Video Connect-or anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, even multiple apps-hit DELETE! (It's the ONLY way you'll be able to enjoy all Qik Video by Sprint has to offer!)

Download Qik Video by Sprint!

Check and update your HTV EVO software, too.

Brand New Policies

And because we’re now Skype, we have some new policies in place and our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy have both changed. Effective immediately, the Skype Terms of Use will govern your use of Qik’s software, products and websites and your personal information will be processed in accordance with the Skype Privacy Policy. No action is necessary if you agree with these changes. But if you don’t, you’ll want to review your termination rights in Section 11 of our Terms of Use.

i got hulu to work on my g2x. When you first watch a video, it may be distorted, just make the video bigger with your fingers to fit the phones screen, then it should be fine.

unzip the package. install both apk's to your phone with root explorer or file manager (im not sure if you even have to be rooted for it to work). then your all set to watch hulu.

[HTC EVO 3D] Scotty_Two:
The phone's been pretty good so far, except for the Bluetooth output. I have a Bluetooth stereo in my car that I used constantly with my OG Evo and it worked great; I could play with it, walk around the car with it in my pocket, etc, and it would still play the audio flawlessly. With the 3D though, it has to be sitting out in the open. If I grab it, the audio cuts in and out. Even if I hover my hand a couple of inches above it cuts in and out (which should be cause enough for a replacement since the phone and receiver are literally two feet away from each other). This does not make me a happy panda.

Is anybody else having Bluetooth issues? Can anybody test theirs out to see if the problem exists outside of just mine???

Just reporting back in...

A2DP on this phone paired with my car's headunit is the most rock solid A2DP connection i've ever had. My epic would occasionally skip, and it was noticible that the driver sped up and slowed down to compensate for connection variations... but with the 3vo, you wouldn't have known the difference if i had plugged it in the 3.5mm jack.
[HTC EVO 3D] ejchis:
I have mine paired with a Blackberry stereo receiver which is in my glovebox. This morning, I got out of the car to fill up my gas tank and grabbed my phone out of habit. When I was done filling, I tossed my phone into my pocket and hopped back into the car before I realized that I had been moving all around with my audio source. The streaming Pandora didn't stutter once through all of that

I think It's the best connection I've ever had.

I'm having much better Bluetooth quality with my E3D than I did with my Evo. With my OG Evo, if my phone was in my pocket and I turned my head to the right (with Motorolo S305 Bluetooth headphones), the signal would cut in and out. However, with my E3D, I haven't had a single problem with it at all yet.

Hello All,

I need some help, I had a broken screen and when I replaced it I managed to break both the side volume buttons!

Now I can live with this until I order a replacement ribbon but since I don't have the side volume buttons any more I cannot adjust the speaker volume while i'm making a phone call and it's set to quite low at the moment.

Does anybody know what the program is called so I can invoke it set it to max and close it or at least the registry value that controls this?

Please note both system and ringer volumes are set to max through the device settings, it's the volume during a call I wish to increase...

Thanks in advance!

I see on a norwegian Huawei forum that alot of people have problems with the gps. it wont lock in on the satellites. Some of them have tried B133/135/136 and B160 ROM and with still no luck getting it to lock on. Some of them seems to claim that the problem goes away using GPS Test app for locking the satellites , and after that the gps works. I myself am using stockwells B160, and have no problem with it.

So. Is this a hardware related problem? or a software?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
Due to the fact GPS test app can lock on, its most likely software. Make sure Wireless networks and quick gps are on in Location settings. Otherwise it takes an extremely long time to lock on and seems as though its not working.

Adfree seems to not working anymore and i saw you can redirect ads to pull up blank webpages and such but i am still confused on the whole process.

How do i correctly place a host file on my phone?

how do i add a specific address for ads to use?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILMF:
Create a text file. Name it:

hosts

No extension.

Popoulate it like this:

127.0.0.0 www.someaddy.com

The first is the IP associated with the url that follows it. That specific IP refers to the localhost, or your phones IP. Thus preventing the add from showing up because the app thinks the add url is localhost.

Put the file on your sd card and use any file explorer to put it in: /etc

Set permissions as 644.

My host file if you wanted one to go off of https://gist.github.com/543651c8d3bb7992f2be

It's a compilation of various adhosts found from sites and ones I found on my own.

Some of them I got from here: http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers

I use 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 because 0.0.0.0 is an invalid address and will kill ads faster instead of clogging up your loopback address and timing out. I used to use 127.0.0.1 but it isn't as fast if you try timing both.

Also, you can block ads the same way on linux PCs and osx (/etc/hosts) or on windows (/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts). Also works on linux based routers or aftermarket firmware, but it's a PITA to permanently on a router since it wipes /etc/host changes every reboot (but how many times do you reboot a router anyways). Doing it on a pc you no longer need adblock in your browser.

Also, if you copy over your existing list, you might want to change back the owner/group and permissions to what they were. The default owner/group is root and permissions were 644. You can do that via the command line (using chown/chgrp/chmod) or via something like root explorer.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
which list? the one I gave that I use or yours?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustang302LX:
it's the list of thousands and thousands from the adfree app. I'd think with the app being uninstalled the hosts file should still work. But I'll try your list now too.

So once I download the file I can just place it on my SD card and place it in the /etc folder replacing the current hosts file and all should be good?

Edit: I just did that and still have ads. *sigh* oh well I guess.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Might have to restart your phone. Generally you dont have to do something like that, but you might have to clear out your dns cache to have it work. You can test to see if it's working for sure by adding in your own made up host for something. For example, add the following to the host file:

74.125.225.80 my.test.url

then open up your web browser and type http://my.test.url

if it goes to google.com, your host file is blocking ads (74.125.225.80 is the url for google.com). Make sure the url is exactly like that, some browsers might want to attach .com or whatever to it.

EDIT: I also updated the list above too. https://gist.github.com/543651c8d3bb7992f2be

md5 sum: c5d52a08166ff912702414ce4188dab8

If I remember or someone reminds me, I'll push updates to it every now and then when I add to my list via git, since github is nice and lets you do that and continuously update the gist link.

Also if you're on windows and you copied that list there first, make sure you change the line endings to unix type. It wont work on your phone if you don't. Any decent editor will allow you to change it (something not notepad from microsoft). http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Macs screw up line endings too with \r instead of \n. Might want to open it in a text editor that allows you to switch between line endings just to be sure. It might have overwrote them when downloading. The file size of it should be around ~607KB unzipped if it's correct. Something like textmate or maybe the built in text edit should have the ability http://macromates.com/

You can also doublecheck the file with md5sum. The unzipped file should be c5d52a08166ff912702414ce4188dab8
