[Google Chromecast] TabGuy:
I bought 4 of them. 1 from Google Play and 3 from Amazon. One of the Amazon ones I paid $3.99 (I have Prime) to get it today. It came this morning and I've been rocking ever since. Ironically, I bought the one from Google Play first and it says expected arrival is August 4th. I'll have the other two from Amazon tomorrow. The one from Google Play cost more for shipping than the overnight one from Amazon.
[Google Chromecast] Denomenance:
I got the 3-5 business day shipping which bumped the price to 45. I thought Google only takes out the money when it ships? Right now, it says my order is pending. Did you get any info for the free Netflix?

Seems since I ordered it on the 24th at 9PM EST, I won't be able to get my own Netflix code :/
[Google Chromecast] TabGuy:
No word on Netflix from Google or Amazon.
[Google Chromecast] Denomenance:
Just got off the phone with GP Support that the code will be sent when it ships, and that the event actually ended 1 AM of the 25th, so that's a sigh of relief :)
[Google Chromecast] jblazea50:
Amazon cutoff for Netflix was July 24 5:31pm PST. If you ordered before that time, you'll get the code via email. If you ordered afterwards, you're SOL.
[Google Chromecast] samizad:
Ordered mine from Google Play on the 24th, a few minutes after the announcement. I just got the email saying it's been shipped. Hopefully will have it tomorrow.
[Google Chromecast] hawkns:
Ordered mine during announcement on Play store, shipped out that night via UPS Ground, delivered yesterday.

Got Netflix code yesterday morning. I had to use Firefox to redeem, Chrome was throwing a too many redirects error.
[Google Chromecast] ant_129:
I ordered mine in the evening on the 24th from Amazon and I don't even have an estimated shipping date. No big deal, I don't really need it right away. I want to see if it will be a good replacement for the laptop I have dedicated to my TV now.
[Google Chromecast] melog69:
I ordered mine from bestbuy, and it should be in next week either Monday or Wednesday
[Google Chromecast] TabGuy:
I got an email from Google at 1:35am this morning that mine has shipped. The tracking is via UPS but the tracking number starts with a 9 not a 1Z which means that UPS will hand it off to USPS. Looking at the tracking shows that UPS hasn't received yet.

Edit: About 10 minutes after I made this post I got an email from Google with my Netflix 3-month gift code. Bravo, Google!

Edit 2: I redeemed my gift code with a couple of clicks and sure enough Netflix credited $23.97 to my account.

The Chromecast is fantastic at $35. For $11 it's spectacular!
[Google Chromecast] Denomenance:
Ugh, I just want my tracking number, the wait is agonizing! :eek:
[Google Chromecast] TabGuy:
Ugh! I live in SoCal. My tracking shows it's shipping from La Vergne, Tennessee. Estimated arrival is Wednesday.

When Amazon shipped the three I bought from them it came from Ontario, California, about a half hour drive from me.

Google isn't a retailer, that's for sure.
[Google Chromecast] jam10238:
Ordered one from Google Play Wednesday right after the conference. Said it would ship by July 27 at the time. That night I received shipping confirmation and also got an email with the Netflix link:

Welcome to Chromecast.

Enjoy 3 months of Netflix on us and start casting.

Hi xxxxxx,

Your Chromecast is on its way.

After setting it up, you can start casting from Netflix and other apps to your TV using your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Netflix has thousands of movies and TV shows, and Chromecast is the easy way to watch all of it on your TV.

Redeem your 3 months of Netflix to use on a new or existing account by clicking the link below.

Bought the 2nd air option and it says out for delivery to arrive today. In the mean time, they showed up as available for my local best buy store, so I bought one there for in store pickup which I got this morning. The Netflix code for that one was emailed right after I picked it up in store.
[Google Chromecast] skew:
I received mine today from Google Play. But I did not receive any Netflix codes bought during announcement. I called Google they said to contact Netflix, called Netflix they told me Google had to give it to me. Called Google back they had to open a support ticket, they didn't know who to contact. But it does work as really good just wish I had my Netflix code to break it in :(
[Google Chromecast] mnasledov:
I ordered mine off Play Store two days ago and opted for the most express shipping option (was only +$6 but yeah, doesn't compete with Prime). I just got it a couple of hours ago and been messing with it a bit at work.

Unfortunately it's very fickle about WiFi. It doesn't like all the WiFi APs/Repeaters we have and gets stuck trying to connect to office wifi (or some other router/firewall settings here).

I did manage to configure it by connecting it and my phone to my Verizon MiFi card.

Very disappointed I can't seem to broadcast my Chrome browser off my phone/tablet -- just off the desktop???

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

That sucks. I got my NetFlix code from Google within a day, about the same time they sent me the shipping notice. You probably hit the cut-off.

As someone who's worked for Google, good luck dealing with their customer service :( We once had a teammate's GMail backend completely break on him and we contacted the GMail/SRE team (we were also SREs) and they told us to GTFO and go through official channels, as if we weren't employees. Needless to say, the productivity of one of my coworkers was unnecessarily hampered for about a week. I think he ended up looking at server logs and debugging it himself, discovering that the instance running his GMail was in some sort of crash-loop.
[Google Chromecast] Denomenance:
Saturday now, gonna have to wait until Monday for any new updates :/
[Google Chromecast] supernova_00:
I ordered mine through the play store during the event, email said it would ship August 2nd, and I got an email at 5 this morning saying it shipped. No netflix code though
[Google Chromecast] skew:
I hope they don't say I hit the cut off I ordered on Google Play while it was being demo'd it shipped Wed afternoon it was already shipped to me 24hrs before they ended the promo.
[Google Chromecast] stayRooted:
Ordered mine on google play a day after the release. ETA is 2-3 weeks before it ships :/

[General Questions and Answers] podface:
Hey,

is there a way to make one app "have" a different date to the rest of the phone, eg the phone settings has the correct date while one app e.g. spotify have a different date. Can this be done through tasker?

any help appreciated. btw phone is rooted
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
There's only 2 ways I can think of to do that.

1. In the application itself you have a function for getting the date that is used throughout. The date can then be manipulated as required in that 1 function. This would obviously mean you would need the source code and be able to build the application yourself.

2. Run the application in a VM that has the date set to what you want.

What is it you're trying to do? There may be a better way round your problem.
[General Questions and Answers] podface:
Hi thanks for the reply. I want to extend my spotify free trial and I have found it works by changing the date in the settings.

What is best kernel for our ROMs and how exactly does one install a kernel ? Lol

Sent from my Matrix HD running liquidSmooth
[Motorola Atrix HD] penser:
I, and most people here, would recommend the PurePerformance kernel/mod. It's really fast on PAC. Make sure you download the right one for whichever mod you're using. If you're on stock or Youngunn's Holoblur ROM, use the stock one, any other ROM use the CM one. To install it, just flash it anytime after installing the ROM. ROMs have kernels built in, so you need to flash it after to overwrite what is already in the ROM.

Alright so I have a 32gb silver htc one from AT&T. I have been rooted for a while I followed the instructions for the all in one kit exactly as written. Anyways I was having some issues tethering wifi to my pc, so I tried to reboot the phone. I wasn't in boot loader when I did the reboot I just plugged the phone in and clicked the reboot option. Ever since then the phone turns on goes to the htc quietly brilliant creek with the developer info at the bottom or whatever and this repeats. When I try to do anything to the phone my command prompt on my pc says device not found. Is there Any way to get my phone working again? If not, what can I do to get AT&T to honor the warranty? I heard if you root you void it And the phone basically says its rooted when you try to boot it. I wAs thinking maybe a magnet or dropping it till it breaks but do you guys have a method that works. Please help me out I'd really appreciate it. I'm broke as hell and don't want to have to go back to my go phone again. Thanks in advance. Also I was running stock I had backups in twrp and I hadn't flashed anything at all hope this info helpS.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] richardlibeau:
Does anybody know if it works on t-mobile? Googled it and could only find an answer from 2007 saying it didn't back then but this is 2013 so I was wondering if it has changed since then. I have seen the build prop tweak (ro.ril.enable.dtm=1) for this to enable it in different threads but was just curious if it actually works on tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ktetreault14:
What exactly is Dual transfer mode?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] richardlibeau:
Dual Transfer Mode (DTM) is a protocol based on the GSM standard that makes simultaneous transfer of Circuit switched (CS) voice and Packet switched (PS) data over the same radio channel (ARFCN) simpler. Without DTM, the mobile device must be capable of reception and transmission simultaneously (full-duplex) requiring complex and expensive circuitry in the mobile terminal. With DTM this requirement doesn't exist and makes the device implementation simpler and cheaper. DTM is a 3GPP feature introduced in R4 of the specification series.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Is this like using data while on a call? If so then yes it works. However you must be on 3g or greater for it to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] richardlibeau:
Exactly I am always on lte, hspa, or edge usually so was just wondering if it worked for tmobile or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Won't work on Edge though. But everything else it will :) i love it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ktetreault14:
Wont work on LTE either. Only 3g/hspa+

If I actually did help, how bout a Thanks for 'ol times sake
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Why not? It should.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ghettoc401:
I just tried it out on my phone. I set it to LTE/GSM only and whenever I made a call, it would drop off LTE and go to edge. When I set it to LTE/WCDMA/GSM, it would drop off LTE and join 4G when I made a call. I don't know why it does that though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Might have something to do with lte and that HD voice I keep seeing.

Hello, so I have been having some issues with a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0. At first I was thinking that this was specific to this device, but now not sure. The internal SDcard (mmc0) has failed and the device has been stuck in a bootloop. I have tried many solutions from forums on different sites too. What is odd is that flashing the YP-G1 recovery ROM with correct PIT file works perfectly fine on our other Galaxy Player 4.0, but on mine it continues to bootloop. Perhaps there is something wrong with other hardware? Any help much appreciated.

Hi.

I have many questions which have been skimmed across on quite a few other topics in this forum, I wish to ask more in depth questions for all you IT Brainiacs which I lookup to greatly 8)

I own a XDAIIi and a 512MB Kingston SD Card.

Using 'Storage Tools' by softwinter...

http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html

The SD Card is formatted:

FAT 16 (Backup FAT)

Cluster Size (The Largest Size)

I also use TomTom Navigator 3.07 with GPS 3.07.

I experience frequent lockups whilst driving.

What I am asking you guys is what is THE BEST AND ULTIMATE SD CARD to use in my XDAIIi with TomTom.

I know about all the Sandisk Ultra II/Extreme III but pocketgps.co.uk...

http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/storage-card-compatibility.php

Do not advise using Sandisk cards due to their poor performance.

Do any of you guys recommened how to tweak my SD card but increasing/decreasing the cluster size or formatting the card with FAT32 !? Or are there any REG Hacks that people know of how to increase the stability of the XDAIIi using the SD Card slot.

Also are there any solid specs of HOW fast the XDAIIi SD Slot can Read/Write to SD Cards?!

Sorry to ask such harsh, to-the-point questions but I have learn so much from this forum and will be donating money soon as if I were to ask or ring the customer services of the products I own they would charge a bomb on phone calls and not answer my questions.

This forum does neither of those :D

Thanks in advance,

The only card that I have found to reliable with the XDA IIi is the Kingston, I have the 1GB version currently formated FAT16 32 Secs, 512 bytes per sector and Tom Tom functions perfectly...Hope this helps...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] lydiachris:
Hi there. thankyou for VERY quick reply.

Please could you explain more about the way you have formatted your card.

I understand the FAT16 bit but what do you by 32 SECS and 512 bytes per sector.

Thankyou again,

lydiachris

ps. I take it that you are using the standard Kingston (blue), not the elite pro version (white)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Fredrick_Fredrickson:
The Kingston "Elite Pro" range is miles faster than the standard kingston SD cards, and only about 20% pricier (at http://www.picstop.com/securedigital.htm). Just replaced my Kingston 256 with an Elite Pro 1GB, and Tomtom flies! (5 times faster to load)

PS if you're using Tomtom's GPS 3.07, you might wish to change to one of the earlier versions that doesn't hijack your BT stack (Pocket GPS world has loads of info and downloads for this)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] lydiachris:
Hi there. Are you serious?!? Do you have a XDAIIi ???

I am currently using a standard blue kingston 512MB SD.

But I have just bought an Elite Pro 512MB SD Card for £33 which I am quite pleased with :D

Please could you post some more info on the formatting question I have posted above.

How did you format your card Fredrick_Fredrickson.

Also what does the 'Cluster Size' of an SD Card mean. I understand that if you have many large files i.e. like TomTom maps (all the individual files) then it is better to have a larger cluster size than say if you have many little files like photos.

Am I correct in saying that!?

Cheers,

Lydiachris

Ps. has anyone got one of these?!?!?!

http://www.kingston.com/digitalmedia/sdultimate.asp
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Fredrick_Fredrickson:
Very serious!

5 times quicker to load.

Just did a quick back to back ABA test, starting up Tomtom.

Kindston Elite Pro (1GB): 15 seconds

Kingston Standard (256Mb): 53 seconds

Both cards formatted FAT32 with default cluster sizes.

Test on an XDAII (not XDAIIi)

Note that the new Elite Pro cards are also blue, like the standard ones.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] lydiachris:
Hi thankyou.

That is really amazing!!!! :D

Could you please look further into how your cards are formatted, i.e. cluster sizes.

Why FAT32??? Doesn't this cause lockups whilst your using tomtom????!!!!!

I thought that SD Cards usually work better with the FAT16 file system?

Actually, do you experience any lockups at all with tomtom???

Regarding the colour of the cards, what colour is your elite pro card???

Because if you go on the link that I posted above, they are actually the ultimate kingston card.

With 133X read / write etc...

Cheers,

lydiachris
