Was that with Steam Link trying to auto-discover the Steam software running on the laptop? If so, did you disable wifi and ethernet on the PC and disable wifi on the phone before connecting? You might have to restart Steam on he PC too, after turning on the tether. Did pings work across the tether? Yeah, I think that audio problem is a know bug they are working on, and happens in multiple apps. Regarding latency, it isn't clear how much it affects real world usage vs latency testing tools. I've used a tool that tests with TCP and HTTP and get slowness too. But that is with

I tried a USB-C to ethernet adapter with the Pro1 and it doesn't work. https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Ethernet-Adapter-Gigabit/dp/B00X4S587K I tried it on a Pixel 1 and it worked fine. People on Amazon reported it working with a variety of android devices (Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019), Samsung A50, Pixel 3XL, Pixel XL, and a customized version of LineageOS 16.0 (Android Pie based) on an older Moto Tab). All of these were Android 9 or higher. Also works on Nexus 5X running Nougat. From what I can tell online, the drivers for the ethernet chipset are probably missin

You are right. I think I meant compared to how it is normally.

I would try connecting the phone to your PC, using a USB 3 port, and then in the USB Preferences screen, in the phone, turn on USB tethering. You shouldn't have to enable USB debugging first, but if it doesn't work for some reason, you can try that. Your PC (assuming windows) will pop up asking if you want the network to be a Home, Work or Public network. You can pick Home, since nothing can spy on that network anyway, since it is only between the phone and the PC, over the USB cable. You may need to disable your wifi on the PC (if is running wifi) or unplug the ethernet cable (if it is

Yeah, that was annoying me too. Just hold down on the notification and it will give you the option to not show you that notification anymore.

That's not good. What did you ask them and what did they say?

Yeah, we've been talking about pinging out from the phone, but pinging from another machine to the phone also has extra latency vs pinging other phones. With this setup, do the games run right on your PC, or is the PC connecting to the internet for accessing the games? Am I correct that it is mirroring the screen of the PC to your phone screen, so it needs to send video to the phone and you need both high bandwidth and low latency to keep up with the state of the game? Is he wireless access point running 802.11n or 802.11ac? I might have an idea for a test you could do t

Well, the phone is large and the case isn't completely snug, so it is a bit bulkier than it would have to be width-wise. It is a bit of a transition coming from a "normal" sized (circa-2012) phone. I'll see if I can take some mirror selfies to give you an idea.

Well, I decided to try it on my Pro1, and the settings have changed, such that it is only possible to do it when the screen is on. A lot of other people online were very angry about the feature going away. Apparently it is one of those things that google silently took away. They really haven't gotten the idea that you don't remove features. That really angers users. If you want a default behavior to change, fine -- make it an option that the user has to turn on. There are two schools of thought on why they did this: 1) It was a security issue and people were complaining about

I haven't tried it yet, but this might be worth a shot: https://www.pocket-lint.com/apps/news/google/139202-google-assistant-tips-and-tricks-master-your-android-assistant

Another test. I set up the Pro1 as a wifi hotspot, switching the default to 5.8GHz instead of 2.4GHz. The Pro1 can send to a laptop connected to that hotspot over 400 Mbps, which is about what it can send to that laptop when the laptop and phone are connected over the wireless access point. For some reason sending from the laptop to the Pro1 isn't as fast over the hotspot as it is with them connected through the access point. The laptop can send 200+ Mbps to the Pro1 through the router (over wifi, that is...when it is over ethernet, it is faster, I believe). It is under 200 Mbps when the

You can try contacting them on facebook. Their support group on Facebook is widely regarded as being best at getting you what you need.

I did more wifi speed testing the past few days. I found out the following things: - The Pro1 is able to *send* data extremely fast over 802.11ac. I was able to get regular speeds over 500 Mbps with iPerf3 to Pixel 4 phones and to a laptop connected to the wireless access point via gigabit ethernet. It is theoretically possible that it could send faster, as I'm not clear on what the max receive limit is for the Pixel 4 or the laptop or the access point. My guess is that this is probably about as fast as can be achieved by 802.11ac 256 QAM 2x2. Oddly enough, the Pixel 4 can't send

Thanks @lzb and @ermghoti for adding to the list. I can report that the one I bought does fit perfectly for length and has room to spare for width and depth. This is with a thin TPU case on the bottom half of the phone too. The magnet in the flap is just the right strength too. The clip is strong and there is very little risk of it sliding off the belt. The rotation mechanism is easy to turn. https://www.turtlebackcase.com/galaxy-s8-nylon-vertical-holster-case-metal-belt-clip-fits-bulky-cases/

Some providers are phasing out support for 2G-3G in the USA. They are cannibalizing the old protocol frequencies to make room for serving more people on the newer protocols. That's too bad. I'm guessing that will reduce 5G adoption. However, in reality, even in the USA, I think it will take a while for lower frequencies to be used by all providers for 5G use. I did find this: https://www.everythingrf.com/News/details/8554-Germany-Makes-700-MHz-Frequency-Band-Available-for-5G-Rollouts and So it looks like you didn't have the 700 MHz bad available in Germany bef

I tried this tool: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.julian.fullping&hl=en_US In the settings, you can set the delay between pings down to as little as 0ms. Setting 1 ms shows that most pings finish in about 2 ms. That would make sense with what we have seen with some of these other tools. What doesn't make sense to me is if I set it to values higher than 2 ms, it still allows the pings to finish, most of the time, in about 2 ms. For instance, I can set it to as high as about between 100 and 110 ms and it still has this effect. How can a delay 50 times longer tha

Can you send the link to the app you used? I wasn't able to find it.

Yeah, I guess that is possible. Not a very big buffer then. I just tried pinging with more data instead of the default amount and that didn't cause the latency to decrease. It would have to be based on number of requests, rather than size of the data, to work like you theorized, I think. ping -s 10000 192.168.1.3 That's what I ran, in case anyone else wants to try. That sends 10000 bytes instead of the default 56 bytes (not including the IP header).

Can you explain this in more detail? What type of roaming are you referring to? Yeah, some sort of timer could be involved. This is a consistent issue though, with the latency around 20 ms. With a congested environment, the values would jump around more. I downloaded the app to the Pro1, but I can't find which tool to run that gives a jitter value. The Ping function in the HE network tools I downloaded runs 3 pings very fast (no delay, which is what other ping tools usually do) and gives an average, std. dev (maybe that is what you are referring to as jitter?), last,

100+ is the average number now for popular websites, unfortunately. That is a good point, but web browsers won't make 100+ connections concurrently. They may make a handful of connections concurrently though, which will reduce the issue to the degree that there is parallelism. I am talking about 5G with a good signal. Low latency is a key selling point of 5G. It has been designed with this in mind. The higher frequency 5G will not travel as far. There will be lower frequency 5G as well. Eventually, 5G will take over 4G frequencies. 6G will take over 5G, etc. In other w

Are you suggesting that the built in android app drawer that is now accessed by pulling up from the bottom of the screen would be accessed as a Pro1 launcher keyboard shortcut?

So that demo was using Keyboard/Button Mapper along with the Pixl Drawer app?

Did you have the SD card set up as combined storage with the internal storage, or as a separate storage for photos/videos?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.brokenbrain.drawer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobeedom.android.jinaFS I haven't tried them, but there are a couple.

I thought about doing something like that too. I'm now wondering about doing that for the screen and then cutting an opening for the display. However, the pre-built ones that are for other phones, made out of TPU, might hold better.
