I have used SlingMobile in my last four phones (TouchPro, TouchPro 2, DroidX, Rezound) and the app really kicks major butt in the Rezound using 4g.

I have the newest HD Slingbox and with 4g service the picture is outstanding.

I have two different inputs I can select from, standard cable and an HD cable box. If I use the standard cable input, a viewer at home can be watching a different channel than I am watching but the picture is lower quality.

I even get perfect TV reception while driving down the road in my truck. My Wife watched a movie in HD HBO on demand while we drove on a 3 hour trip last week.

Do you have unlimited data? Curious to know the bandwidth usage.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Yes, I have unlimited data.

It would be virtually unuseable (same as Netflix) with most tiered data plans.

~John
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
what exactly is the app? ive heard of it but never really looked into what it was exactly. Sorry, im on the road right now LOL
[HTC Rezound] jim_0068:
Essentially it allows you to stream your home cable feed and/or DVR recorded items to your phone.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It is people like you that caused the tiered caps.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I have never used anywhere near the amount of data that a lot of the posters here use every month.

Last month, I used less than 4 gigs so I would have been fine even on my Wife's 4gig tiered plan.

I don't believe data hogs are what caused tiered data anyway, I attribute it to Verizons greed.

~John
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
By the way, I have had unlimited data since the first day it was available years ago and I also have the unlimited 4g hot spot so you can KMA with that attitude........

Nice system, how much was the whole setup? And to my Michigan friend, please take down the logo if you're going to consistently work interactions in that manner, I don't want people to think all Wolverines are like that.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I think my high def Slingbox was around $300, but there are cheaper models that work fine also. You need a router in the system, but I think everybody has one of those nowdays.

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
seemed like you were being a jackass to me.

He's using the data on his smartphone with an app he purchased. He's not running a whole home network, which are the people that are abusing the data.

As for the slingbox, I got one last xmas, it died in march, 92 days after I activated it. Contacted sling, they told me they couldn't give me any tech support without either paying 30 bucks up front or adding the extended warranty for 50 bucks. Horrible customer service in my opinion.

I can say, that when it worked, it was great, never had any problems with it. But the fact that it only worked for 3 months is what was bad. If you get it, get the warranty. Just consider it part of the purchase price.

As a side note, with mine (the base model), it took over the dvr, so if someone was watching tv at home, if I changed the channel, they would have it changed as well. Works for me because I work nights.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
If you don't want that to happen, you need a Slingbox with an internal tuner like the SB Pro or SB Pro HD.

don't think I'm going to fix it. CS has been bad and not sure I'll use it enough to warrant another 50bucks for the extended warranty.

Finally figured out my plex media server so I can just stream my shows from my computer.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
Something else you can try (I use it for netflix because we dont have tv) is to run an hdmi cable from your comp to your tv and you will be able to watch whatever is running on your comp.
[HTC Rezound] john nance:
Slingbox has had big problems with defective equipment. It is much easier and cheaper to look up their problems online and and fix it yourself or have a local electronics shop do it for you. There are online instructions to do this. I bought the parts I needed at radio shack and did it myself.
[HTC Rezound] bjmjpl:
this and their customer service is ATROCIOUS....i dont think they care since Dish or whoever bought them...they wanted 100 bux to fix, after i spent 20 bux on a power adapter that wasnt the problem, and then if it broke after 90 days i was back to 100 again...and this was all 3 days after the warranty i bought expired...seriously...

so i researched and bought a brand new vulkano for 100 bux...works and is simply awesome as sling will not be getting another dollar from me...

just reminded still have to try the mobile app for vulkano...
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
The Vulkano mobile app works well and it's free.

I have a Vulkano also but I don't really like it.

~John
[HTC Rezound] bjmjpl:
how come - not as good as SB?
[HTC Rezound] nolaboi4u:
I have a slingbox classic i've had for about two years and it still works great.guess i'm one of the lucky ones.
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
Lol i use over 15 gigs a months with my 4g :). I wish i had dvr or a slingbox
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
Jm10,

So the Vulkano app is now working on the rezound? That is the one thing that was making me hold off on trying to get the Rezound was I tried it on my friends and it would just sit there buffering but never connect. Tried it multiple times, and the vulkano worked fine side by side with the bionic, but not the rezound. (I hate the bionic though) And it worked fine on my Thunderbolt. I like the picture quality of SB, but given the horrible things I have heard about their customer support and the fact they charge 30 bucks for the mobile app, I just can't justify the purchase.
[HTC Rezound] hondapowergt30r:
I used 35 gb last month hate me all u want. Tiered plans are a way to make more money. There are plenty of people that barely use data that offset the people that actually use their phone.you really expect people to use only 2 gb when you have 4g now and all these data intensive apps. Verizon sees the way the market is heading and wanted to make some more money...
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
So is vulkano now working on the rezound?
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I'm positive I had the Vulkano working with the stock ROM.

I hadn't bothered to install it in my current setup as I like the Slingbox better, so I just installed the Vulkano software to test it.

When I tried to run it, the EPG works fine but when I click on live TV I get a blank screen.

All the awful things everybody has heard about SBs crappy service are true, so that's certainly something to consider. I have three SBs and have never had a problem, but I may just be lucky......
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
J, are you currently running ics? I have my old thunderbolt that I occasionally play with, and it wont run vulkano. It will start, but it just stays a blank screen then force closes. But it worked fine on stock gb.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
not running ics, the ROM and kernel in my signature are what I'm using.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
just noticed a vulkano update in the market. installed that and now the app works fine again.
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
Sorry, I usually use tapa, so I don't see sigs. Thanks for the update though.
[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
I have the sling adapter for my dish receiver and I cant even use it cause the dish app isn't even compatible with the rezound.I have used it on my old phone though and it works amazingly.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Well that sucks..........
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I've used Slingbox for years. Originally so that I can watch Baseball games that you can't even buy/access from MLB with their screwed up blackout policies.

Used it with 3G for most of the time with good enough picture to make enjoyable watching. Have been using it with my 4G Hotspot now for more than a year and I never use more than 3-4GB a month total including it.

Will be using it with my new ReZound tonight when I get it today. I started out with a Slingbox Classic, I have a Solo now. No hardware problems for me with the devices and I use the Win player all the time at home when the big screen is being used by another family member as well.
[HTC Rezound] ebor:

What files control the overscroll bounce effect in 2.2 ROMS? I would like to remove the effect.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
The bounce setting should be in your launcher settings. I use ADWex and it is in there under screen settings. Probably similar for LPP and Go.

I'm talking about the list view overscroll bounce effect that is used in every list view in 2.2 ROMS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xalies:
Hi,

I have been reading about NFC and it got me asking myself if it was in SG2

I know it is in some SG2s and after some reading I saw about the 4th battery connection is used for it

I have the 4th connection on both my SG2 and the battery (battery also states it has NFC) but I cannot seem to see any NFC apps in the market (like google wallet) .... I have also read it has to do if it is enabled in the rom

Phones a i9100 bought from honkong

So how can i check if it really has it?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazykat:
If the hardware has it, then you have it!

Reason why you can't get Google Wallet because it is only within the US and on Nexus S phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
I think only the korean and att version has nfc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xalies:
Yeah thats why I asked, was't sure
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spongeworthy:
Download "Z-Device Test" in the marketplace, it should tell you if you have NFC or not.

Thanks,

I don't have it of course :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgeezy24:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] narako9:
I'm pretty new to the whole rooting thing, i rooted my phone, the root worked fine, but when i try to do wireless tethering it won't work, it would install and everything seems to fine on the phone, but the xoom and the pc both don't see the network.

i tried wifi tether, wireless tether, and open garden, all gave me the same results.

Any idea?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 05GT:
The only one that I got to work was the deodexed hacked Sprint Hotspot in the dev forum.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I have the Xoom and Epic Touch and wireless tether works perfectly. is your Xoom rooted
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Did you download a rom with the hack in it already.... They all work I have the stock and wifi tether app working

Remember guys it transmits as a Adhoc Network
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] narako9:
Well shouldn't the pc at least be able to see the network if it was working properly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwfulFaded:
I think those are all adhoc wireless networks. The Xoom won't see adhoc networks unless you root it and change out the wpasupplicant file, search the Xoom forums for the file that works or use the one here (which is a Xoom file in the Iconia forums). However I'm surprised the laptop doesn't see the network.

The only app I've used is WiFi Tether and I've never had a problem. Sorry if you think this is a dumb question, but when you ran WiFi Tether, did you click on the WiFi symbol to start the wireless network? (WiFi symbol turns yellow when tether is running).

Did you allow root access when prompted? When you open your Superuser app, do you see WiFi Tether listed? It'll actually show up twice, once for starting to tether and once for stopping the tethering.

Since I don't know how you rooted, do you have both BusyBox and Superuser apps installed? Try upgrading both and then a reboot. Remember to grant superuser permissions for any apps that need it (root explorer, es file explorer, wifi tether, terminal emulator, titanium backup, adfree, superuser (the su app needs su permissions), etc.).
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
18 days till im eligible, and it pisses me off that the newest phones are $300. That is crazy, i got family with kids, wife only works part time, i refuse to dump that kinda money. Im actually thinking dinc 2 or tbolt. Dinc 2 free, tbolt $49. I could get bigger batt, case, screen protector, and klipsch head phones and save $150. Not to mention both phones have great roms now. I could prolly get dual core in a year off ebay for $150 then, and sell the other. No way will i pay $300, im not impressed with any of those phones.
[Droid Incredible General] TheWhiteBandito:
Although I completely agree with you, the prices are too damn high, I will br forking down the $300 for the Nexus come January. Why? Because it's a piece of technology I will be using everyday for the next 20 months. I'd rather spend the extra money to get the cutting edge right now rather than save the money and have to be behind the curve.

But hey, that's just me! On the converse, I've been rocking the same laptop for 4 years now because I refuse to upgrade until something substantial comes out, so I totally understand your point of view!
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
What i find really sh**y is that verizion only gives me a measly 35 dollars twords my upgrade. I have been a loyal paying customer for 6 years now, i pay 65 a month and have spent thousands on phones, and for being so loyal i get 35 dollars every 2 years twords a new highly overpriced phone. It just irks me, as much money as i have spent on phones and service, they should at least give me half off any phone i want.
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
Exactly, and the new ones just arent that far ahead, im going cheap. I been with them forever, my bill is $180 a month for 2 phones!
[Droid Incredible General] DustinBooyah:
You can upgrade your phones at places other than Verizon. Amazon typically has 300 dollar phones on sale for 200 bucks right after they go on sale. They had the Rezound for a penny with new activation on B-Friday.
[Droid Incredible General] Quilombo:
Not to mention, Costco had them, incl the Rezound, for $49 shortly after that. You dont need a member of Costco to get the wireless prices.
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
No costco here, we tried the cheap upgrade for my wife, they wouldnt do it inlesss we changes plans. We have an alltel plan
[Droid Incredible General] pete_kowalski83:
I also agree, its getting absolutely ridiculous. So what's the next Verizon standard in a cpl years for new phones? $500-600 on contract? I sure hope not. Ok got the mini rant out lol. Well unfortunately I will be spending the 300 as well for the GN but after I check out other options I.e. best buy, amazon. I Will be keeping Verizon no matter what.
[Droid Incredible General] Weudel:
I was holding out for the Nexus, but it was just taking too long, and I couldn't see paying the $300 for it, so I snagged an Xperia Play on Black Friday for free and loaded it up with emulators...
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
I want something rooted with solid dev work going on, im leanin towards the inc2 as 4g just dont mean much to me. Ill see what sales are going on after christmas though.
[Droid Incredible General] badogg:
For me, my Incredible is just fine. I'm going to wait until there are more devices out with ICS and see how that all plays out. Maybe another year or something, see what HTC puts out in that flavor. I just can't see myself getting any other phone other than HTC. I hate Motorola's UI, and not a big fan of my wife's Samsung Fascinate.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Same here i will keep my incredible till it dies. Im not even going to upgrade till something that really makes me say wow comes out. Im not a fan of the larger screens that are on all the new phones. They are hard to fit in your pocket and hard to hold. If you use a hard case it makes it even bigger. For the last 20 years we have tried to make phones smaller, now everyone wants a phone the size of a notebook, which i find crazy. As for dual core that just seems like overkill, after all it is a phone, if i want to play games i have a ps3, and if i want a pc i have 3. Larger screen + dual core = shorter battery life. And as of now lte is non existent in my area so 4g isnt a good selling point for me either. I will stick with what i got, just like the saying says, "if it aint broke, dont fix it".
[Droid Incredible General] LunaticSerenade:

So I was just watching a show about the 2012 apocalypse on discovery channel, and while I don't believe in it, I find it rather interesting. The most I think will happen is people panicking with anticipation; starting riots and doing things they wouldn't normally do. I really feel like the end of a cycle means nothing; the Mayans had to end it sometime right? Maybe someone just decided to screw with the future by giving us an expiration date. Who knows.

Anyway, what do you think will happen on December 21, 2012?

I hope that nothing actually happens, but then people's belief in the coming apocalypse causes some kind of mass frenzy/disaster, which somehow starts a chain reaction of further disasters and wipes out 90% of the human race.

The remaining people will be the 10% of the population smart enough to comprehend the irony of what just happened.

There is a change in the Mayan long count calendar on that date (Dec 21, 2012) that will bring us into (I think) the thirteenth baktun. However, I don't personally believe it will be a world ending apocalypse. I just think it will be the start of another long calendar if you go by the Mayan calendar.

The Earth, the other planets, and the sun will all be lined up with the center of the milky way.

But no apocalyptic catastrophies.

I don't see why there needs me to so many choices when it comes to sounds. There's

Incoming call volume

Media volume

System volume

Notification volume

Is there a way to set the sound option to actually turn off/on ALL the sounds? Or at least group the Incoming call volume, system volume, and notification volumes together? For some reason, even my notification volume goes way down if I try to turn the ringtone volume down through the rocker yet it won't go back up unless I manually do it from the settings. It's a little annoying, this is the one thing from Apple that Android would copy. Running Infused v2.2.3 by the way.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BadFishCM:
Have you tried the sound button in your notification bar?

That turns off everything with 1 button.

Kinda obvious lol

Edit: it turns off all sounds except media volume.
