I started using Subsonic for the same reasons that you are looking for. I've been using it for over 2 years now and love it. Yes, the developer does ask for a $10 donation for a license to use the video/REST api, even though the source is fully available but I've found it to be a great investment and you only have to pay once, unlike streaming services that have a monthly fee. Plus, once you have a license your allow to use it on as many machines as you want. I find the server very well written, the project has a very active community, there are frequently new features added and plus you can share your music with whoever you want, since it's your music to start with.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Jango is great too.

I've used Subsonic for years and even did a small piece of development on the Android client. With that said, I have started using Google Music recently too.

Subsonic is still a good alternative though if you don't want to upload your music to the cloud. If you really don't want to pay a couple of bucks to Sindre (who built Subsonic), you could always download the source and either remove the license validation part or simply reverse engineer it and figure out how he validates the license in order to make your own licenses. I would recommend just giving him a couple of bucks though.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sudhirkhanger:
$10 is worth it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] lin013190:
I love tunein Radio. Best app by far
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] nickmv:
I've been using Subsonic for 2 years now. Best 10 bucks I ever spent. The developer is easy to reach and listens closely to suggestions, etc.

Overall a great app, and an absolute must if you have a big collection you want to host from home. No need to upload to the cloud, etc. Did I mention it does video streaming and has plenty of transcoding options? Works great as a media server for use on the computer as well. And you can upload music remotely. Tons of great features.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] eff0rtless:
Premium Spotify user here. Never need to download music ever again. Never thought I would go legit like this. Tuesday new music release days are the best. Listen to what you want when you want to. Share music with friend, see what others are listening to, radio feature, apps, etc. Plus offline listening when you're w/o wifi.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] JaSauders:
Ah okay. See I wasn't sure what the donation required as I couldn't find an actual number anywhere. I was confused, thinking, okay, do I just donate 10 cents or does it require 180 bucks? I gave up pretty quickly though since I've got 100 other projects going on around the house...

That said, I've been uploading my music to Google Music continuously 247 since I posted this thread. 1,000 uploaded, and uh... a helluva lot more to go...

Sorry, Google Music, you are insanely awesome and convenient, but nothing (and I mean nothing) will ever beat the speed convenience of LAN-based storage. That's why I use ownCloud on my server for my own Dropbox-esque personal storage, and now, Subsonic. I'll fire off the donation to Subsonic later tonight and get it fully set up. :good:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] sudhirkhanger:
Can you own music on Spotify? Like download in MP3 format. Don't you lose all your music if you decide to change to other service.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] JaSauders:
Oh my GOSH Subsonic is amazing. I dumped it on my server, pushed 100GB of music over to it, donated 10 bucks, got the key emailed immediately, plugged it in and bingo bango - we're running. I'm streaming music on my desktop as well as my tablet without a hitch. Super handy.

I still find it kind of confusing. If you need to donate for the license in order to stream from your own server... what functionality is Subsonic otherwise? I mean, it's great it's labeled as free and whatnot, but how is that entirely accurate? What CAN you do if you opt not to donate (and therefore not receive a key) since, after all, you wouldn't be streaming from your own personal server? (which is the entire point behind Subsonic as I understand it)

EDIT -

Donate for premium features like:

Apps for Android, iPhone, WP 7, PlayBook, Roku and more*.

Video streaming.

Share your media on Facebook, Twitter, Google+.

No ads.

Your personal server address: yourname.subsonic.org

Er... wait... the donation allows additional devices to work besides computers? Thereby suggesting streaming from my laptop on my LAN would have been supported without donating? Don't get me wrong, I like knowing I donated to help this deveoper out, I just want to make sure if I help spread the word of Subsonic I know the licensing so I can explain it. Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] codiak:
Hi.

I´m having a problem that my phone not auto connects to mobile data after lost of wifi signal. Mobile data symbols (E/3G/H etc) are not shown. After toggling 2G/3G the connection is made. Mobile is activated in the phone settings.

This problem is present in different roms (GB/ICS) and in different locations.

I already tried adding skipbrokendatacall to ro.telephony.ril.v3 in build.prop but for no luck.

Anyone have an idea?

Cheers,

codiak
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badbeat33:
I thought about posing this question in the Q&A section but since it is an accessory I thought I’d list it here. Has anyone heard of a planned release date for the Allshare Cast dongle? I saw Amazon is taking orders at $100 saying it “usually ships within 1-2 months” but that’s not exactly precise.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] socjdqcer:
Did you ever find out your answer? I need to buy on of these asap. I saw it on amazon too and it says 1-3 months now. Are they not available in the USA yet? Also I called the Official Samsung Accessories department today and the guy was very helpful, but had NEVER heard of this device. Seriously, I sent him a few links of the device on Amazon and the Review of the device off Engadget. He called me back to let me know, no one there had ever heard of it either.....Weird!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] darkkain:
It's available in Poland :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Michael_P:
From all I've heard it should be last week of August in UK, and I just don't get why we get the high end phones released and announced first over here because we are one of the biggest markets, but Samsung always give us the accessories last and not bother with any firm release dates, I mean a lot of people are already pissed off with lack of Mass storage mode and External App moving so you'd think they'd have enough sense to get the accessories out as quick as possible to divert attention away from everything else they messed up.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] socjdqcer:
Yeah I know what you mean... I mean stupid HTC has there Media Link out already. It does practically the same thing, but from what I have seen, it isnt quite as good. I wonder if it is even compatible with with other android devices. I want the Allshare Dongle because as a teacher I want to use its presentation mode for power point.

Hey guys, one more thing, I also Have a Nexus 7, you think I could install Allshare on the Tab an use the dongle with the tab as well? That would be ideal!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] darkkain:
Allshare funcion uses wireless lan (router) to stream only videos, photos and music.

Allshare cast dongle uses Wi-Fi Direct technology to create mirror of the phone on the TV screen (you can also play games). You don't have to be in the area with wi-fi network.

Allshare cast dongle only works with Galaxy S3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] adk34:
And from the box - Galaxy Note 10.1 :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badbeat33:
Sorry I never responded back. I didn't get any replies for a while so I assumed this thread was dead. Hopefully it's available soon!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stefan78:
Here in sweden we have had it for about 2weeks now and my two cents in the matter is,,,,as of now the dongle doesn't work very well ,,

No 1080p , problems with connection, picture in picture (popup play) doesn't work,

Overall iam kind of disappointed :(

Hopefully a fw upgrade will correct some or all of the problems

I just rooted my phone and installed Sky ICS 4.2F6. I'm having a minor issue with the new lock screen.

As you can see in the image, the clock text is REALLY hard to read with certain backgrounds. I tried choosing the option to located it at the top/mid/bottom of the screen, but no matter what I choose, it doesn't reflect it on the lock screen. Even having a font/text with a drop shadow would be "good enough", but I can't seem to find a way to do this.

Can someone help me with this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shadowvfx:
Could someone at least tell me if this is normal for the Sky ICS 4.2f6 update? I'm really new to rooting, so I don't know if this is to be expected or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] meno123:
I can confirm that this is normal for 4.2F6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
I'm pretty sure the clock position in the setting only applies to tw lockscreen, so either flash a tw lockscreen or simply change the lockscreen background.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shadowvfx:
Thanks. I'll give it a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SeraldoBabalu:
yep. you need tw lockscreen. aosp lockscreen you can't change placement of the clock. when you flash the twlock, you lose the camera from lock option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shadowvfx:
Yep, I just applied the stock tw lockscreen and it's working great. I'm bummed to lose the camera unlock feature, but not being able to read the time from my lock screen was much more of an inconvenience than that.

Thanks for the help everyone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] StolenVW:
You have to edit a .XML file to change clock placement on the aosp lockscreen
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermage1:
Well this is interesting. At work we have RFID door cards all through the building. I just got my Nexus 7 today and was anxious to see if the NFC would read the RFID cards we use - there is mixed information about that online.

Well, it won't.

But...

The two door readers closest to my office (about 10 yards and 30 yards from my desk) have completely wigged out today. Beeping for no reason, randomly refusing cards, etc. I'm guessing the interference from the NFC in the Nexus 7 is messing with the sensors?

[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
So does SyncSMS work pretty good? Thinking about trying it but don't want to buy unless it really is worth the $3.00
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
yes, i use it all the time. you just need to have a dropbox account. and install syncsms on both your tablet and phone. but, it does not support attachments.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dusanzk:

MySMS is a pretty handy app which i use regularly on my tab, pc and phone.

The UI doesn't seem to be as fluid on the tab as it does on the pc and phone though (even with hardware acceleration turned on in MySMS settings).
[Asus Transformer TF700] jaxboater:
I've always used Google Voice.

Pro: Free txt and calling (in US)

A spare phone number.

Con: No sync with phone
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
:confused:

what do you mean? The messages i get on my phone using gv, show up on my tablet as well. If someone calls my phone and leaves a message, the notification pops up on my tablet as well. Is that what you mean? Every message i send and receive using GV, shows up on both devices.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jaxboater:
I should have explained a little further.

I use my Google Voice number to txt from a PC or my Tab 8.9 and do not use GV on my cell. I haven't linked the two numbers yet.

Due to a current medical condition I can't talk, thus the various work arounds for emailing & texting.

MySMS

I've been using MySMS for months now.

I have tried almost every program I could find for sending/syncing SMS over my phone, tablet and PC and none have worked so smooth and problem free as MySMS.

Some have been better at certain things, but MySMS wins hands down total.

I almost never send SMS from my phone anymore :p

Also: I contacted the developers with a bug one time. The next day they sent me a test build with a fix, verified that everything worked and published the update to the play store the day after that. Pretty awesome.

(Yes, I realize that I sounded like a friggin' commercial and I'm embarrassed ... )
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
I'm having the same experience with MySMS. It syncs pretty well from phone to tablet and PC if I wanted to use that. After everything got synced right, I'm very happy with it. It pops up with a notification like if I was using it on my phone, and I was even able to completely shut it off on my phone and ignore it on there and it syncs across my stock messaging app and MySMS on the phone and tablet. I'm very happy with it, I'm not sure how quickly it syncs across devices, but it seems to work well for my purposes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] megadirk:
Installed both Tablet Talk and Sync SMS, I preferred tablet Tablet Talk. It didn't need a drop box account and it also let you make phone calls from your tablet now, convenient.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Bond@007:
And for WhatsAp, a solution ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hellplant:
I use MySMS but like someone wrote earlier the UI is not very fluid, on my device it is horribly slow and choppy.

For those of you that use Tablet Talk or SynsSMS, how is the UI? Can you scroll through a thread containing hundreds och texts without any stuttering?

I was watching Netflix with HDMI plugged in, brightness all the way up CPU Max 1.5 ghz on demand governor. I set it down on the couch and when the movie was over I picked it up and it was scorching! I looked at my antutu widget and my internal temperature was almost 120! And the aluminum back doesn't help. Has anyone else got their tab this hot??
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
No, but your usage case is probably detrimental to the device. My suggestion is to not crank it up to 1.5 when doing task that will make it stay there for over an hour.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Agreed... a 50% overclock is in now way called for to run Netflix. In fact, if you playing around with CPU speed, I'd suggest trying to underclock it and see how things run. Less stress, lower heat, longer chip life.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bluntified:
One tip though, read at least 2-3 steps ahead.

READ READ READ. Read the instructions, then read them again!

A lot of times people have issues because they either missed a step or they downloaded the wrong file or they just rushed the process. Take your time. Also, there are different "rooting" files (SU files) for different roms. Stock 2.3.5 uses 'su 3.05, where stock ICS uses 'su 3.07. Make sure you download the right file!!

Then take your refund and get in line.

Google is processing orders and exchanges for Play store customers. You're not going to be processed before them. The larger capacity is backordered.
