Basically after the last update I heard problems locally were fixed but I was curious what the sync was like from an outside network connected through VPN.
Anyone tried this?
Also I'm curious to know what peoples home upload speed is and what they'd estimate their average latency.
Thanks!

Second thread - you moved my first one. I have extensively searched the XDA forums and Wiki, not to mention many other forums and numerous Google searches. Based on what I have learned I have hard reset my Fuze leaving off the ATT bloatware, downloaded about 25 apps, including several specifically recommended to work around my problem. I've learned a lot in a short time, and everything is working great except IP camera access. I've tried several other streaming video suggestions without success. I've tried every single suggestion I've found on XDA-Developers and am now back asking a question for which I cannot find an answer, and I believe I have diligently done all the "Noob" stuff - so now I need some help!
I can access streaming video from an Axis 207W IP camera on my Fuze using the HTC Streaming media player via an 802.11 connection and when cabled to my PC but not via 3G. The address is http://(camera IP address)/mjpg/video.mjpg. Works like a champ via wireless or when cabled but won't work over 3G. The only way I can get it over 3G is by using the Skyfire browser, which uses a remote server. Anybody have any ideas about why this is the case? Why I can't get directly to the camera IP address in 3G mode? Is there a setting change I can make on my Fuze?

You might check your proxy settings, as they could be interfering, or perhaps it is a restriction related to AT&T.
I think it has something to do with a block by ATT. I had a similar issue with my server at home. I couldnt control my PC via my phone anymore because it wouldnt connect to my IP. After about a week, it worked again. Now it isnt working once again. I am able to connect to my home PC through my laptop.
at first i suspected that ATT DNS servers or whatever were slow since my server uses dynamic IP, but even trying to connect directly doesnt work.
i doubt its dns since hes using IP address for the cam
it could be at&t's proxy not getting through to your port
i would change it to port 80 on the cam's settings since that is the port used for http web browsing!
Hoping someone could shed some light and/or point me in the right direction. I just go my TF and upgraded to the latest stock firmware from ASUS. I am having two issues that may or may not be unique to me, one being almost a deal breaker for me.
1) My wifi speeds are running below my expectations. I am measuring around 11Mbits/s reads, while using various SMB explorers. I have run internet speed tests that have measured around 20Mbit/s reads from the stock browser though. I am running on a wireless 54 Mbit/s g-router. While I didn't expect 54Mbit/s, I did hope for the 30ishMbit/s I have been getting with various laptops.
My concern mainly lies with video streaming from my NAS as 11 Mbps is borderline for my uses. I am getting those transfer rates from the NAS and from my Win7 setup as well. My hope is that the SMB file sharing apps aren't optimized and I can wait it out and hope to get at least the 20 MBps rates that I am seeing from the internet speed tests. Should I try to throw in a wireless N in to the mix and if so besides WEP (which I assume is limited to 54mbps) is there any other encryption that the TF supports over WiFi? I ask so I can research the best match wireless -n access point for the TF. I don't see the ability to change the authentication/encryption as the 'Advanced' tab on the TF settings is greyed out.
2) I am getting significant audio sync issues while recording video. Playback of video is smoother with the new firmware but I see an occasional stutter. I could live with that if the audio stayed in sync (playing back with built in player and mobo). THis one is not a dealbreaker as I will rarely use the video but I am concerned this is an issue with my device. The realtime playback during recording is terribly stuttery (though this isn't a big deal since the playback is far smoother).
I haven't rooted yet but has anyone used cifs.ko successfully and seen better transfer rates than some of the SMB implementations in terms of transfer rates?
Thanks for any advice on routes to go or just general confirming that these are issues you don't see.
Anyone able to chime in on this for me?
1) It sounds like you need to upgrade your wireless hardware. WEP is easily crackable nowadays by anyone who googles how to do it, and has been for a while. WPA2 is usually a much safer option if your equipment doesnt support it then its probably time for an upgrade. Wireless N routers are pretty cheap nowadays via ebay, so there's not really any reason not to get one (I've bought a few for around £5 each on there). It should increase your throughput dramatically, and increase the range you can use your wifi devices at. I'd also advise setting up MAC filtering and hiding your network from prying eyes if you do all this to make it more secure. Plenty of guides on the net for that, and it's very easy to do.
2) I don't get the audio sync issues you have, but then the quality of the audio via video recording is terrible, so I've not used it much. I've yet to try this, but perhaps plugging a microphone into the headset jack will help with your sync issue, just an idea to try. And if it doesnt help then perhaps another app would.
thanks for the reply.
I will try both suggestions.

don't want to hijack but i have been using a netgear dg834 and am looking for a new router and a way to improve security as i use my wireless a lot more now so any links to tips or recomends for routers would be greats

Any well known brand (such as Belkin, Netgear, Linksys, Buffalo) will do you fine. Just check out their product page from the manufacturers website before you buy. Things that it should have as basic specs are a NAT firewall, 256bit WPA2 encryption, 2.4ghz operating spectrum and obviously compatibility with your current operating system. An easy to use setup is always a must for those not very confident in their tech abilities.
does anyone out here have a geovision camera card? i know it's a long shot,but thought i'd ask. there is an android app for it called gvaview, and for the life of me, i cannot get it to connect on my g2x. i also had issues trying it on a mytouch 4g. i know i have the proper ports open. i can connect from another pc with no issues. i can connect using ipcam viewer from the market as well. i'm beginning to think it's got something to do with my fios router blocking it although the proper ports are open. before i had roadrunner and a linksys router and i could connect from my own lan. now i get loopback issues with the fios router from within my lan. i also know the app itself is buggy according to market reviews. just wondering if anyone out here has it working on the g2x. or any phone for that matter. thanks in advance.
Hi guys I recently lost my cable service and I've been relying on my inspire for wifi around the house lately. I thought I'd share a few tidbits with you that I've gleaned from the experience.
My inspire is running cyanogen mod 7 nightlies and I found that it only broadcasts wifi on channel 6 - very annoying because most routers ship with channel 6 as the default (at least here in the US)
This means that if there are wifi networks near you your range is going to be unpleasant. If you have a wireless router in your house make sure you change it to channel 11 - that tends to significantly decrease interference issues between the two devices. Pick up a free wifi analyzer program in the market it will let you scan all the networks in the area and show you the free channels - very helpful if you're setting up a network in an apartment complex! Just keep in mind channel 6 needs to be free near your phone if you're tethering otherwise you'll suffer from some drastically reduced range and speed.
My wireless router is running dd-wrt and can broadcast on channels 12-14 as well - European and Japanese standards. The FCC probably wouldn't like it but it can seriously push my wifi out of the way of other networks. The inspire can NOT SEE THOSE CHANNELS. Not even with cm7 - I believe a kernel or radio fix could be implemented which would be nice.
I've tried bridging and sharing my wifi tethered desktop with the rest of my network but I've run across a few serious issues with the windows 7 network stack. It hates the fact that I have and use so many networks and network adapters. I'm going to push my luck some more but at the moment I'm content having finally gotten them to work together at the same time so I can stream some movies to the other systems in the house while tethered with my phone.
The most annoying issue I've found lately is that at&t seems to be monitoring my use of unusual ports. Every few days I find that many applications I depend on stop having access to the internet over the tethered connection - the ports get blocked - all but port 80 which only allows basic browsing. The best way that I've found to fix this is to shut the phone down properly, pull the battery, and turn it back on. It seems to lose it's specific network address and gain full port access again.
Just some food for thought guys, I thought I'd share this stuff with you because of the issues I've had making it work. Maybe it will help others to be less frustrated.
Here is a list of wishes:
The ability to change the broadcast channel while tethering
The ability to view, use, and broadcast on channels 12-14
The ability to increase transmit power by a few mw through a userland interface
Thanks for the info and I'm really sorry you lost your cable service
Me too - this economy sucks
Interesting info. What app are you using?
Posted this on r/HomeNetworking and r/androidapps but it's a very specific issue so just trying to increase my chances of finding someone that can help
So I know this is oddly specific but I'm at my wit's end trying to figure this out. We live out in the middle of nowhere so our phone data (full bars service from Verizon somehow) is our only source of internet, so I use a USB tether through PDAnet (for avoiding hotspot data cap) on a phone to a laptop that is then connected from its ethernet port to a router's WAN port, which then provides a "pure" WiFi connection to the rest of the house (PDAnet's native Direct WiFi hotspot setup is useless for any device that can't use the PDAnet app on its own end). I recently set this up (i.e. actually utilizing a router instead of Windows Hotspot) and it's worked great but we're STILL having this same issue that was happening back on the old Hotspot configuration.
So now that I have an actual interface to configure the connection (i.e. the router config page) I was hoping I could finally address this issue. Basically whenever I try to load a video on the Playstation Network store from my PS4/PS5 connected to said WiFi or when I use the Netflix app on my Chromecast + Google TV also on the WiFi network, something is pinging back to the initial PDAnet connection so that it gets "unchecked" on both the phone's app as well as the desktop app, thus killing my entire network until I manually turn both back on.
Going through Netflix in the laptop browser, using literally any app other than Netflix on the Chromecast + Google TV, and using PSN for any purpose besides loading videos in the store all work perfectly fine. I'm thinking is has to do with some sort of location check but I have no idea what else I can adjust in any of the device's settings or the router config page to fix this. Trying to turn location tracking on/off on both the phone and laptop has no effect, but I know Netflix can be weird about location (i.e. different content for different regions and people using VPNs to get around said location issue) and I know PSN does something similar (i.e. different content based on different regions again).
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what exactly is different about these two scenarios that causes PDAnet to "nope" out of the situation, and what else I can try to adjust to remedy the issue?
