this error appears when i try to use wi-fi or 3g. never get a picture
just this error. tried changing settings to legacy. still not working.

I'd wondered that myself. I played with a droid 3 at the Verizon
store the other day and I couldn't get it to work in the couple
minutes I played with it. Unfortunately I don't really think there's
much I can do about it. TestTube just exploits a wormhole that I
discovered in the Hava device, it has no ability to the Hava device to
make it compatible with the phone. I wish I had better news, but
honestly the answer is I don't know what can be done about it.

Just for my information, what version of Android is the Droid 3
running?

Droid 3 is running gingerbread 2.3.4
original droid 1 still works with testtube. Vulkano also doesn't work
on
droid 3 either but original does with no problems. Strange netflix
updated their app and it works on either phone. Streams with no
problems. Testtube and vulkano apps don't. What changes in gingerbread
killed testtube and vulkano? Has to be soething in common

Please take me off the email list for support. I gave up after 16months. This simply will not play well with the Droid incredible. Slingbox and its software works flawlessly.  Thanks for the effort boys.

I found that out when I got an Inc 2. It was crap so I sent it back. I just wish you all would release an update. I like Test Tube. But since I bought the app about 6 months ago there have been no updates. Is this product abandoned. ?

If I can figure out how to fix it I would, but it's not a very
straight forward fix. Android has "toolboxes" that developers use to
create Apps. One of those "toolboxes" is a media player. What has
happened is that on some phones this "mediaplayer toolbox" for
whatever reason is now incompatible with the Hava stream. The only
way I see around it is to actually create a new "toolbox" from
scratch and that will take a tremendous amount of work and effort. I
won't use the work never, but honestly it's unlikely that I'll be able
to do it. If anyone finds an app that can play an RTSP stream from
their hava on a phone that TestTube does not work on please let me
know. I will gladly contact the devloper to find out how they are
making it work. Just for everyone's reference you should be able to
access your hava's stream by connecting to the address RTSP://yourhavaipaddress.
You can test it in VLC on a PC and then see if you can get it to work
on your android phone.
