[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xreflection:
I think this is application dependent because a lot of games (at least from what I can see), the application portion is actually a majority. It doesn't move all it, but most of it. It seems like it usually leaves around 2MB on the phone itself and the rest gets moved to the SD card.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert_89:
Hi,

I noticed that if my phone is turned off and charging, it won't power up when I press the power button.

To get the phone to turn on, I need to disconnect it from the charger, turn it on, let it load, then plug it back into the charger.

Is this normal? It just seems a bit strange to me....

Cheers

Why don't you charge while it's turned on ?

It works for me.. You gotta press and hold the power button, but it does boot up.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] flyinion:
Hi guys, I was following the post in the development forum to boot twrp to install the chains superuser zip, but when I do "fastboot boot <recovery filename>" I Just get "waiting for device". I know the USB connection and SDK is working properly because I unlocked the bootloader. I would just flash twrp straight out but the OP said he preferred to wait until factory images were out to do something like that and it sounded like a good idea to me as well. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Never had this problem with my GNex but then I never tried to just boot a recovery with it instead of flashing either.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] flyinion:
Wow sorry apparently I totally noobed that up. I was actually typing "fastboot boot recovery <recovery filename>" while in the bootloader and that's why it wouldn't work. Currently performing a backup via a booted but not flashed TWRP right now. :o:o:o:o

Anyone else having GPS issues, as in, not working at all? Any ideas for a fix?

Look for my thread regarding this problem. fixed it finally!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] babblin5:
Thanks! That did the trick...much appreciated!

sent from my Nexus 7 2013
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] flyinion:
Hmmm, I still can't get it to work. I managed to get a searching icon for a bit and it disappeared again. I think that plus the failing update thing == me taking it back in the morning and getting a newer one from a different Best Buy. I tried clearing framework services and reverting the maps app multiple times and no go. Even standing out in the middle of the street at 3am trying to get it to lock. :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] oneandroidnut:
Mine locked right on for me
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] flyinion:
I'm wondering if it has something to do with that final 50MB update that won't install.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] oneandroidnut:
Could be mine all installed fine
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jmdearras:
I had the update fail, and my GPS was dead, too. Swapped it at Best Buy. New one had no update issues and GPS works great!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] skyhawk21:
Can you do some extensive testing with the gps in the new exchanged one??? because I got gps working good on my tablet but after using it for awhile it like turns itself off, shows a searching for gps flashing icon at top left of screen and cannot lock on to satellites no more!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] flyinion:
Hoping that will be my case too, just got back with a shiny new replacement, from a different store this time that just got their truck in and unloaded late last night. So hopefully I'm avoid the "bad best buy batch" lol.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] neiander:
My GPS works flawlessly. Connected to satellites almost immediately.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] flyinion:
Looks like I'm good to go, replacement has no screen issues (dust or pixels) and the update installed perfectly, GPS locked in about 15 seconds, mostly waiting for me to step out of the house I'm guessing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Vanhoud:
My gps suddenly failed to lock on to any satellites when playing ingress, reboot fixed it
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] muyoso:
I've never had a device which locked on as fast as this Nexus 7. Its beautiful. Make sure the top of the device isn't being smothered by your hand because that degrades the signal received significantly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] skyhawk21:
Knock on Wood, I think I got the gps problems nipped in the butt!

I had to reset the tablet from system settings after having both updates installed, when setting up tablet (initial boot) enable all location stuff except for the new android 4.3 wifi location while off option.. Also make sure to disable backup and restore options while doing the initial install.

Now so far GPS has been working steadily ever since first initial boot, no need to reset and power up again and after trying it for an hour all gps apps back and forth its still finding signal sometimes instant sometimes 20 seconds or so but no issues like before this time...

Working like it should now! I guess a hard reset after all updates was needed to reconfigure things!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
As long I only use Google Maps, the GPS locks consistently.

If I use other GPS apps (like GPS Status, Gas Buddy, etc.) then eventually the GPS gets into a state where it won't lock, ie the GPS in the status bar just blinks forever.

Reboot has fixed this every time.

When the JSS15J first installed, the GPS also wouldn't lock. I had to turn on WiFi/Mobile assistance for it to lock the first time. After that first lock, I could turn off WiFi/Mobile assistance and it would still lock on its own.

Hello :D

I've seen many people complaining that their Google Navigation doesn't read street names anymore. But I was wondering if the reverse is possible. In other words, is there a way to stop Google Navigation from reading street names?

So for example,

Currently: "Turn left onto Lehigh Street in 500 m"

I want it to be: "Turn left in 500 m"

Is there a way to disable the street name TTS without rooting?

Thanks :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brijeshb:
+ 1 on this. The navigation prompts by typical GPS devices (garmin etc) is more effective.

that pops up, it's almost impossible to read, or a third party app that can intercept the caller id and create a larger font size? Possibly scroll on the screen. Help!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] that_kid:
One way to do it is to use photo contacts 1.20. It's listed here on this site, you can customize the font size as well as a few other options.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Pallazzio:
I have a Sprint LG Optimus G with a broken and unresponsive touch screen. :crying:

I've found answers about how to replace the screen and about how to recover files from different phones with dead screens, but nothing for the Optimus G.

Here's the question:

Is it possible to connect my phone to my PC and transfer all the files?

Currently when I connect the phone it is only in charging mode. I can't use the phone screen to put in MTP (file transfer) mode.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sharkboy0901:
You can try using the adb pull command, might be able to pull the entire sdcard
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MasterScat:
Use Linux. I currently use Fedora, and adb connects to my phone without problems. The great thing about is that you don't need drivers.

If you don't run some sort of linux os on your box I would suggest installing virtualbox and creating a guest Linux machine.

I believe the popular distros have adb and android-tools in their repos so it shouldn't take you long to get a guest machine setup. Good luck on getting that data.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] promek:
Try snap pea..I broke my screen once also and was able to transfer my contacts, pics, and any apks that I needed.....download it to your PC then connect your phone it will sync with your phone. you'll see your phones screen on your pc

hmm

Snap pea requires you to install onto your phone then sign into the app on your phone. how would i go about doing that with an unresponsive cracked screen on the pos optimus g?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] promek:
No, install snap pea on your pc...then plug in your phone to pc it will in sync with your phone...youll be able to transfer contacts,apps,photos..etc onto your pc.

similar issue, need help!

I am having a similar problem and need a hand!!!!!

stock phone with a shattered screen that is completely unresponsive.

It's default is set to charge only when plugged in so i can not figure out a way to get pictures ect. off the phone.

Since there is no OTG support I can't change it to MTP(data sync) and Snappea doesn't recognize the phone since it is not on that setting.

Anybody have any ideas?? It's killing me, I already have my new device but can't transfer anything.

[Google Chromecast] the_mentor:
Hello everyone,

So I got my Google Chromecast today and after a bit of messing around I found this cool neat feature that allows you to mirror your entire display to the chromecast device.

This is how you do it.

1) In Google chrome browser on your computer click the Google cast extension and then click the little arrow in the extension and select "cast entire screen (experimental) I've attached a screenshot.

2) after completing step one select your chromecast device and walla you see your screen on your TV ;)

This seems to be an experimental feature so let me know how it works for you, so far I've tested it on my Linux Mint 15 laptop and it works nicely there is a minor delay but at least its something ;)
[Google Chromecast] radiohead7778580:
Nice Find!!

It would be great if the audio also worked it streams xbmc great but not audio :(
[Google Chromecast] ctbaker:
FYI: Need Chrome Beta for this to show.
[Google Chromecast] PhantomGamers:
This is really cool, nice find.

I hope audio works through this in the future!
[Google Chromecast] firemountain:
Make video please
[Google Chromecast] Tower1972:
Chrome beta allows you to shoot to your tv? I am looking for the option but dont see it !
[Google Chromecast] booked:
Do you see the arrow in the upper right corner when you press the chromecast button in chrome?
[Google Chromecast] Tower1972:
lol my TV IS my computer monitor actually. I just use the Chromecast for when I dont want to start up my pc ,,,but I will check shortly
[Google Chromecast] Echodawg:
You can cast just audio from that menu too.
[Google Chromecast] Can.I.Haz.Jelly.Bean?:
How good is the screen mirroring? If it works well with no lag, I may use this to cast some PC games to the TV!
[Google Chromecast] Echodawg:
Have yet to try a game but there is definitely lag, (~ a half a second?) just scrolling the web page but audio is good, video is good, and the audio/video sync seems to be fine.

Right now I'm casting Google Play Music from my average, 1 year old, Toshiba laptop, to my cheap-ass, Insignia TV, listening to Taj Mahal tear-up the guitar.

Life Is Good!
[Google Chromecast] PhantomGamers:
does this really need a video? the picture in the op sums it up completely...
[Google Chromecast] firemountain:
Not howto video, but the video of the result, to see lag. I haven't chromecast and interested to see is it good enough to use for screen mirroring. Thanx.
[Google Chromecast] PhantomGamers:
oh, fair enough.

i don't think it's any laggier than the tab projection so you should look up videos of that on youtube for an idea.
[Google Chromecast] the_mentor:
There is a half a sec up to 2 sec lag so I don't think it's suitable for gaming unless someone finds a way to lower the lag somehow.

Also I use the stable version of chrome on Linux and it works so I don't know maybe for windows the beta version of chrome is needed.

The biggest down side for me is that audio is not working in the desktop cast mode :(
[Google Chromecast] cammykool:
it doesnt even work for me.the CC doesnt respond to me clicking the cast entire screen (im on chrome stable)
[Google Chromecast] Tower1972:
Well when I use Netflix off my phone there is a real slight delay and it takes a few seconds after that for the proper resolution to kick in.. So if your game is lag dependant like a shooter etc.. I would be hesitant
[Google Chromecast] the_mentor:
Can you explain your issue in more details? What do you mean it doesn't respond?

[Google Chromecast] radiohead7778580:
its a programming language

its very good pretty much what xbmc uses and many other apps and scripts
[Google Chromecast] the_mentor:
That's pretty cool if you want the ability of the chromecast device in another device like xbmc or something.

But my guess is that it won't work for things like Netflix etc

Hi,

I can't find "Cast entire screen" (see attachment). Could you check your extension version. I have 2.2013.10723.11607

Best Regards,

Dmitry
[Google Chromecast] Echodawg:
Same version here, on Windows 7
[Google Chromecast] ddv2005:
I found the problem:

this.a.disableProjectScreen = (1920 < window.screen.width * window.devicePixelRatio || 1080 < window.screen.height * window.devicePixelRatio) && !(0 <= ea(Xa, 29))

my screen 1920x1200 :(
[Google Chromecast] J33per:
It is heavily dependent on your resolution. I have 2600x1600 and the option dosn't show up, but if I bump down to like 1280x1024 it is there and works.
[Google Chromecast] Landara:
Another thing to note, you can't watch video full screen if you run 2 monitors. I run 2 and when I do this it shows both, but small and side by side. Even if I full screen the movie that only makes it fill up one side. Un-watchable. Course you can always turn one off if you want to.
[Google Chromecast] the_mentor:
Hopefully google will fix these issues since it seems to still be an experimental feature.

This is great to know. I run ubuntu on my laptop. Where you able to cast youtube and videos from other sites (especially flash videos)?

For sound, did you change sound hardware to HDMI?
[Google Chromecast] the_mentor:
Sound only works with tab casting entire desktop casting doesn't have sound at the moment.

I was able to cast videos including flash videos from different websites using the tab casting mode with sound and it works very decently on my laptop.
[Google Chromecast] yoonus:
Wow!! I missed the bus. Will wait for chromecast to be back in stock.

I wonder why google didn't include linux/ubuntu during its release.

It surprising, android (may be chrome OS too) is based on Linux, but the tools they release doesn't get a mention of Linux!!
[Google Chromecast] superm1:
Just got mine. Casting tabs works from my Dell XPS 13 w/ Ubuntu. Unfortunately there is an odd quirk with flash full screen though. It doesn't go fullscreen on the TV, only on the laptop. If I flip over to windows 7, it does work when you go fullscreen though.

XPS 13 Ultrabook (Ubuntu) - Huge Lag

Do you have the Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook running Ubuntu? Are you able to sucnessfully cast tabs with videos (ex: Hulu) and actually have them be watchable? Mine lags/stutters like hell. Totally unwatchable.
[Google Chromecast] Johan1976:
It seems that mirroring is kind of already supported. Guess it's just a matter of time until we see an app on android mirroring your android phone /tablet.

Also a separate app on windows so you don't see the annoying "window" on the screen.

[Google Chromecast] superm1:
Yes. That's exactly what I have. I have to bump down to 480p however. For 720p I think you need a near perfect signal for both laptop and chromecast with little interference.
[Google Chromecast] lebeauc:
I have the same problem form my desktop PC, but it works fine on my laptop. A few posts up, someone mentioned it doesn't work with higher resolutions. Try lowering your resolution and see if that works. I would try it myself, but I'm at work.
[Google Chromecast] the_mentor:
I think the higher the resolution the more CPU power you need to encode the display on the fly and send it to the chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] jchap2k:
If we only get sound via casting a tab, what if we used Chrome Remote Desktop to 2nd PC (in my case my HTPC) in the laptop and cast the remote desktop chrome tab. This way we get sound and display.
[Google Chromecast] aiiee:
And it's a secret as to how?

:confused:

EDIT: I figured it out, you have to set it to entire screen and then cast, but seriously why couldn't you just say that?

And this is completely non functional for anything with audio. The audio comes out ahead of the video, and on your laptop. I suppose it's great for casting photos or listening to music on your tv :)

Chromecast y u no cast from desktop

I have searched the deepest darkest corners of google and have also read as many chromecast threads here on xda as I can find. For some reason I can't get a straight reason why I cannot cast from my desktop (wired ethernet) PC. Works fine on my laptop with wifi however.

Is this some limitation in the chromecast? Has anyone else experienced this and found a workaround? I suppose I could get some 10$ wifi dongle off amazon but I would prefer finding a way to utilize my wired connection.

Any insight is appreciated!
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Usually it's a firewall/antivirus issue. Sometimes it's another Chrome extension. Occasionally it's a router or bandwidth issue or CPU issue.

I can cast very well from my desktop on a wired

powerline

connection (good for reasonably low latency, not so good for overall bandwidth).

I'm running MS Security Essentials and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (licensed), so my setup is fairly simple, but I do have 3 network interfaces on this PC (one is disabled).
