hi I have been using the NVidia shield tablet a few weeks now and its amazing but was wondering if anyone else in the uk had come across any trouble connecting to the grid app I log on with my google + account and then it starts to test connection then after 20 seconds the app crashes any ideas
It says all over the grid app that it is a limited beta located in northern California so unless you're very close or have ridiculously fast internet it will not work for you. I think it says your connection to the server has to be under 30ms.

Does anyone know how to get Netflix to work in Canada? After the recent update the app keeps saying "your device needs to be updated to instantly stream videos" before the update it said it couldn't stream because of my region... someone please help..

There's plenty of thread that shows how to get NF working in Canada.
Use a US IP. you need to log in the first time using a Vpn from the US.
you can use one of those site that let you try before you buy. After you successfully log in and maybe even watch a little you can use your regular wifi
It's pretty simple, luckily.
1. Install the latest netflix app using market enabler or find the apk.
2. Do NOT sign in yet.
3. Set up a VPN connection under your device wireless settings. (I've used "VPN Reactor" and "Best Free VPN" and they both work). Start the VPN connection.
4. Open the app and sign in. Pick a movie and start to play it for a few seconds.
5. Then you can stop the video, disconnect the vpn, and netflix should work fine now without having to use a vpn.
Hope this helps! For some reason this works fine on my TF but wouldn't work on my Nexus S. Not sure why.
Thank you do much guys got it up and working! Your awesome!

I followed this and signed with VPN reactor but everytime I sign in on my tablet I get an error saying Server hung up and that my username and password is incorrect....even though I have double checked it and it is the correct un and pswd. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Forgive my ignorance, but do you set up the VPN on the tablet itself? When you say "set up a VPN on your wireless device" are you meaning on the tablet, another computer (like a laptop or desktop) or the router itself?
I may be completely wrong here, (I've never used a VPN in my life) but as I understand it, I'm supposed to set up a VPN on my computer, then log into that VPN using the VPN app on my transformer, and connect remotely to get netflix to work?
Thanks in advance for clarification!

Just add a vpn connection under "Wireless & Networks" on your transformer.

Anyone using Citrix Receiver on their TF300 to connect to their work computers? Wondering how well it works (is there left mouse button support yet?)

i've used teamview and that works just fine. i also utilized splashtop at home with windows 7 and that worked well aswell. however, splashtop at work did not work...but that could be because we have some firewall issues? or perhaps it is because we run windows xp?

I've got to use Citrix. Our environment is tightly controlled and security is paramount. Citrix works fine on my HTC Flyer, but I'd like to get some feedback from the TF300 owners, since I'm seriously considering picking one up.
OK, so yesterday I got my TF300. Installed Citrix Receiver on this thing and everything is working peachy king. The only issue is that the right mouse button seems to be mapped to an "exit" function, as whenever I click it I get a "Do you really want to leave Citrix?" popup. Hopefully that can be fixed because having a functional right mouse button would be nice, as I need to run programs with alternate credentials from time to time. As it stands my workaround is to launch a command window and use the "runas" command. Works, but kinda clunky.
Still, it's fantastic that I can get my work done on the Transformer when I'm away from the office, and really makes this device a suitable laptop replacement for me.
I use the default thing included in Asus Mycloud. It's actually just Splashtop, just with Asus' branding. Works great so far, but haven't tried connecting from outside my NAT yet.
I'll check out a Citrix client when I'm able.

Check your asus settings to see what your right mouse button is set to.

Changed the setting to "context menu" but that still diesn't work.
However, I'd forgotten that in Citrix, a long button press acts as the left mouse button in windows. So that works. And even better, the long-press + shift key works with the transformer, meaning that I can run programs under alternate credentials, no problem.
First time poster here so bear with me.
I received my TF300 2 weeks ago and am very happy with it.
Not rooted yet or anything but I may be doing that later on.
For our company we use Citrix as well and I wanted to use the Citrix Receiver but I'm not able to connect.
I'm almost 100% sure it has something to do with the tcp window scaling as my Linux laptop also has problems opening the Citrix Access Gateway site (very slow) and by disabling the scaling it works perfectly.
The same happens with Vista en 7 PC's, tcp autotuning disabled and it works without problems.
I was looking for an option on the tablet but it's probably somewhere in the build.prop or something (I'm only familair with these build.prop things for 2 days, but am experienced with Linux so I can find my way around these things).
Does someone has this issue as well and do I have to root the tablet just to adjust the the tcp scaling?
Anyway, looking forward browsing this forum.
Wish I could help you, but that would be our Remote Access team's area of expertise. Maybe you could speak to whoever at your place of business is responsible for that? I do know that our team tests the gateway with Android and iOS in addition to Windows, and they've got instructions for Adroid and iOS users to connect.
How are you all connecting to the internet for your citrix uses, wifi or 3g/4g?
I have a transformer prime that is so close to being ideal for work, except that tethering to my sprint epic 4g touch just doesn't cut it for citrix. It will work fine for a while, then sort of fall apart when it complains of a "temporarily slow" internet connection. 99% sure this is a sprint issue, with a dash of samsung radio issues thrown in.
Considering a mobile hotspot, but also considering the fact that this idea just isn't ready for prime time yet.
i use wyse pocket cloud to connect over remote desktop gateway. works great.

I've used Citrix while tethered to my HTC Evo 4G no problem. But I had a reasonably strong WiMAX signal. I don't think I'd even bother trying over Sprint's 3G. I'm just not that masochistic.

Not sure why you would ask how it works rather then try it.
But I can tell you it works very well. Our environment is still on xenapp 5 and I dont have it configured through a cag, but still use the web interface. I published RDP for our users so they can remote into their desktops or another terminal server and they use it. Anyway, if anyone doesn't know their corporate config and have trouble getting it to work, try changing it over to web interface rather then access gateway.

Dont bother?? haha To each their own I guess. Citrix is great over low bandwidth because you only send screen scrapes to the device vs something like vpn where you tunnel everything. I tether my tf300 through my verizon 3g with moderate signal. No issues this way. Good luck though.
Is there anyway that I can read Wired while I have no Internet? I figured I would have been able to use the Fire on my last plane trip to read it. I downloaded the issues and then when I went to open the app on the plane, FC every time. The second I got it on the WiFi in the hotel it started working fine. Turn off WiFi, FC.
Any ideas? Are other people experiencing this? I'm running gedeROM 1.7 at the moment.

Does someone with a stock KF have Wired that can test this out? I'm curious if it has something to do with the ROM for some reason or if it is universal.
Thanks
Unfortunately (tragically) Amazon has a lot of apps, including games, that won't work unless you are connected to WiFi. I have no idea why they do that but it is really maddening. For some reason they want you streaming rather than using local memory.

It seems nuts that something like a magazine would need an Internet connection to use. What is the point in downloading it then to memory if I am connected to WiFi? I would just open it up and read it at that point...
Apparently it doesn't work with JB at all as far as I can tell. No modded hosts file or anything, just a FC.
Hi people,
Got a pesky problem here. At home i use a normal connection that uses always the same protection, resulting in instant connection. At work i use wifi connection that connects by a random login and password on browser, the problem is that it goes down if the wifi connection is not being used. Ex. streaming media, play online games, it works well, but if pausing, it will re-ask for login.
Is there a workaround for this?

Find some app on market that will ping router or google.com every 30 sec. That should keep wifi alive and connected all the time.
I've searched and seen a couple threads with similar issues and no answers.
I'm trying to connect my Nexus 4 on T-mobile to my PS3. This isn't really phone specific though, I've had the same issue on my last few phones.
Now it will connect to my tether just fine, and I can connect to Netflix and such, but it will not connect to the PSN. I have tried using Hotspot Shield VPN along with FoxFi, Wifi Tether-TrevE, built in tethering, and PdaNet. It works for a tiny bit when the month begins, but very shortly after, T-Mobile detects that it is tethering (no matter which method I use) and they send me a text and block my tethering access. When this happens I get the T-Mo Hotspot Upsell redirect.
I can bypass this on my computer using a user-agent string change, or Opera and it also connects to my smart TV and Blu-Ray player with no issues, but once T-Mobile "blocks" my tether access, I cannot access the PSNetwork on my PS3. I just want to play online!
Does anyone else have this issue? Solutions?
I am running CM10.1 on my Nexus 4.
No one? Ugh.
