When making a connection for streaming content, what is the algorithm for when to use a WiFi connection and when to use an OTA connection? Can you modify that algorithm? Can you specify what type of connection to make?

I've read a good amount on how to stream content from your computer to an Android tablet or phone, but is there a way to go in opposite direction? I'd like to wirelessly play the podcasts on my phone to speakers in my Thunderbolt monitor.

connection.setRequestProperty("content-type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8");
connection.setRequestProperty("Host", "192.168.1.36");
connection.setRequestProperty("Expect", "100-continue").
If my screen locks while I have a wifi connection, then the connection is lost when I unlock the phone.First, is this perhaps deliberate, to save power? Also, either way, when I unlock the screen and go into wifi settings, I see that the phone is trying to make a wifi connection, but it never succeeds, even though it's my home network and I'm in the same room as the router. It just states 'Obtaining address.

When wifi is connected both that and the 3G connection shows at the top. So which one is in control per se? And how can it be verified?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI decided to try the WiFi hotspot available through 2.2. GREAT! Actually worked quite a bit better than I thought it would. Only trouble is, ... now I'm back at home, it fails to connect to the home network.
+ Restarting phone
+ Re-entering password
+ Forgetting network + refinding
WiFi sees the network, says "Connecting", comes up "Failed to connect", "Scanning" and loops on that sequence. I know the router's working because this laptop is using it right now
Is it possible to stream the video from an Android phones camera to a pc via usb or wifi in effect to give you a zoomable HD web cam? Of course to capture that video feed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedPrior to the Froyo update, if I had anything above 10% WiFi reception, I could watch videos over WiFi. It would be more or less uninterrupted.
Since the Froyo update, I virtually cannot watch streaming video over WiFi. When I do, it plays, but it halts every few seconds and may halt for long periods. Fortunately, 3G seems less flaky since the update.
But WiFi on Froyo on my device has gone from good to essentially unusable, at least for streaming video.
My only complaints about WiFi prior to the update were lack of support 802.11n (which I've been trying to verify may have been fixed in the last 2.1 update) and the fact that my laptop could use WiFi farther away from the router in my house than my EVO could.
Installed 'Movies' but when I'm connected to my wifi I can't stream the movie clips, without wifi it's fine. Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem and what they needed to configure on the router to make it work

(I can stream 1080p on my PC and Macbook Pro fine (due to stronger CPU's vs ARM design?))
Both mobile devices can stream 720p fine
I get issues when trying to stream 1080p. Obviously the Galaxy S3 only has a 720p screen anyway, but I still wanted to see if it was possible
I have tried multiple programs on both devices. At 1080p, the iPad can only stream the audio. No picture. The Galaxy S3 is able to stream both audio and video, although the video is choppy
What is the bottleneck here? Is it due to poor software? Or are the ARM A9 CPU's too weak for this kind of thing? I know they can play local 1080p content perfectly fine, but there seems to be issues with network content.
How can I stream the music from my phone to my NAS Synology ?

We live in the sticks and we get a bit of a G connection here, maybe 1 bar if we are lucky.
What I've found is that my samsung galaxy S with android 2.1 uses the G connection no matter how bad it is despite a perfectly good wifi connection here.
It's only if the G cononection completely drops and the red no entry sign appears to show us that the carrier isn't available at all that suddenly the phone uses wifi.
Is there a way to change the provider order so that the phone will use wifi before g/3g ?
is there a way to force a connection (http) to go over OTA (Over-The- Air) even if you have a wifi connection?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new here and I'm using a doixanh ROM, GingerDX (but I already used Froyobread). So, some time ago I had a problem...I couldn't connect my device (Sony Ericsson Xperia X8) to wifi.
What I did? I full wiped the phone...and that fixed the wifi issue. But now I have the same problem...I can't connect my phone to wifi anymore!
I could do another full wipe, but this problem would just appear again and again...I googled for some fixes and I found some answers...one of the solutions would be deleting one file (dhct or something) from the phone...the problem is: I don't have that file...
Another (on a youtube video) to download an "hot fix" package with 3 files and place them on the phone...but the link that he gave is broken and I couldn't find those files on the internet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to share my ethernet internet connection on my android 2.2 tablet via wifi.
I know there are various app's on phones that allow you to share your 3g connection but I have not found anything that I can actually install that will create the same sort of functionality on my tablet, most of the ones I've seen on the play store are simple short cuts giving control over the pre-existing wifi hotspot app.
What I need is the wifi hotspot itself, ie the ability to use my tablet as a router/bridge.
This month orange gave me a bill for 30 pounds extra as I used 1.5 gigs on my x10
after talking to orange on the phone for a long time, They were very help full, unlike Sony Ericsson, it turns out that while at home when my phone says its connected to WiFi, and is usually as I have tested by turning of data 3G and things on the hand set. It is still using 3G and streaming through the mobile internet.
Orange tell me its a problem with the handset and they have had a few people with the same problem. Orange kindly didn't charge me for my data use and told me to ring Sony who were very unhelpful and just claimed it isn't the hand set. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if any thing can be done. I now try to always have the 3G off but not sure if that is going to help.
