[Google Chromecast] qdtphotog:
I tried using the Plex web app to cast a video file to Chromecast. It worked but the lag was intolerable. This is disappointing for me because it's the main reason I wanted the Chromecast for. Does this happen to others? I wonder if it's due to my old laptop or my wifi (which I don't think it's slow). It also would be nice if I can cast a local video on my phone to Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
It's probably your old laptop. Which OS version and which processor?
[Google Chromecast] qdtphotog:
I'm thinking it's the laptop too. I'm not home now so I can't check the processor. But it's about 4 years old and has Vista on it.

I just read on another forum and somebody there has a new, beefy computer and still runs into the choppy/lag problem.
[Google Chromecast] usefulidiot127:
What about streaming content from your local network, but initiating the stream from an android device? I have a home server on my network with video files. It would be great if I could do something on my phone or Nexus 7 and cast the media directly to my TV without having to go into a different room and use a PC with a Chrome tab.
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
I think this is possible with the new API but not developed yet.

In the meantime you can kick it old school. VNC from your phone or tablet to the PC where you launch a Chrome tab ;)
[Google Chromecast] thx84:
did you see this link?

If you are in Europe, there are sites that will provide a fake US address so you can get anything from Amazon or Best Buy shipped to Europe. I've seen on previous launches (Nexus 4 and 7) that it worked pretty well.
[Google Chromecast] Louer Adun:
Has anyone tried using Subsonic Media Server yet? For those who aren't familiar with Subsonic, it will re-encode any videos on your computer into stream-able flash videos at a selectable bit rate. This seems like it would be a perfect solution for playing local content, and would avoid limitations that others have seen when playing .avi or .mkv files.

I plan on trying this out myself when I get my CC sticks, they are out on the truck for delivery today :D.

I wonder if this would work well too:

https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2445339?hl=en
[Google Chromecast] Louer Adun:
I'm not sure. I would think that the CC would need support for whatever codecs the files on the local network uses, but maybe I'm wrong. Once I have my CC in hand and get a chance to play with it, I think the answer will become more obvious. I will post back on how Subsonic works when I get my stick.
[Google Chromecast] hved999:
So I am getting ChromeCast later on today, and this thread got me psyched!

The way I watch video content on the Chrome browser is via Perian.

Has anyone confirmed that this works?

Or is there a more efficient, seem-less way to stream local files to the ChromeCast?
[Google Chromecast] arrrghhh:
Just got my ChromeCast, and something must be wrong...

It works with YouTube. Google Music and Netflix seem to have issues, but not like this.

When I try to play local content - or flash videos - streamed thru the tab casting feature - I just get a blank screen, or it freezes. It never plays the full screen content. And even still, the non-fullscreen content usually does not play well at all on the TV. It seems tab casting is not meant for video playback?

I don't understand how people are playing local videos. The local video plays fine in my tab mind you - it just doesn't cast to the TV at all.

I'm on Win8 64-bit, my laptop has 12gb of ram and a Core i7 2820QM. Should easily be able to stream 1080p.

Edit - I am testing it from my hardwired laptop (which didn't work at first, but is now) and I can stream local content via tab casting... Hm.
[Google Chromecast] sungod88:
Subsonic you have to pay to stream video and plex is ok but I cant stand the lag. I really want flv and avi support lol from chrome
[Google Chromecast] Louer Adun:
Okay so I didn't have great success with subsonic. It worked, but streaming via a chrometab seems to always be jumpy. Switching to 480p helped, but did not resolve the lag.

I dove into the SDK and got my device whitelisted yesterday and built myself a super simple app that will allow for streaming local content that is already properly encoded. Basically I have a textbox that accepts the URL of an mp4 file, and a button to start the stream. I added an IIS virtual directory that contains all my local video files and set up directory browsing. Now I open up a chrome window, navigate to my server, and copy the URL location of the video, then open my custom built chromecast app and paste in the URL and hit go. It works pretty damn well, but unfortunately files must be in mp4 format to play properly. Streaming directly from a URL (vs casting from a tab) is much, much faster. I would provide the application, but its currently against Google's policy (beta API they don't want distributed), and you would also need to whitelist your device and set up a webserver similar to how mine is configured. Honestly this is just a workaround until it gets official support.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
I'm running a custom ROM at the moment and it had cLock installed, which from experience, makes the lockscreen clock abnormally small. I've been just dealing with it, but it's getting annoying. How can I fix this or revert it to the old size. If I slide down and then drag to the left, the old "big" style clock will show up, but upon sleeping and waking up the phone, the tiny clock comes back. So, anyone? :)

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

Cant update or install from play store after sideloading the OTA update for android 4.3

Happens both on my Nexus 4 & 7.

Always get the following error message:

Install:

Error retrieving information from server:

[RPC:S-5-AEC-0]

Update:

Update for "Maps" could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server:

Clearing Play Store and Services Framework didnt help :(

Devices are both NOT unlocked and NOT rooted!

Any Idea?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O2Blevel:
I got that same error message today, although I was doing something totally different related to my battery. I had cleared services framework. I tried a number of things including what you did and the only thing that worked for me was to delete my Google account and then add it back in.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilorenzo:
Removing and readding my Google Account fixed the problem.

But still wondering what caused this issue on both devices.

During sideloading there was an error message on both devices:

Warning: No file_contexts

Did i something wrong?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tslovejoy1969:
I didn't sideload the update - just let it happen naturally - and I had the same problem, so I don't think you did anything wrong. Perhaps it's a bug related to the update to 4.3. I also had to remove and re-add my Google account to fix it.

Did u make clean wipe before flash rom? Or mega wipe something like that. Imo factory reset doesn't make ur phone clean enough for flashing rom. Try formatting system before flash rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tha_toadman:
Yes and it's annoying as hell! I've had CM 10.1.2 stable on for quite awhile now and yes I'd wiped it 3x, dalvik, etc but out of the blue one day, the Gallery app had my camera photos in a folder and when I clicked on a image to display from there, the screen went black and it rebooted. It's gone from bad to worse. Now it crashes when I even scroll through the gallery pics. So much for "stable". This is a considerable bug IMO.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killbubble:
Sds?

Suggest you change kernel (also suggest if you do the LATEST siyah one. most stable one so far).

Suggest you change rom: aosp not so good for s3: unstable and high battery drainage.

Also cyanogen known for being unstable on s3.

suggest foxhound rom if flash.

[HTC Droid DNA] Briankbl:
These "carrier updates" are just getting ridiculous...
[HTC Droid DNA] mwl1119:
This phone will be lucky to get 4.2.2 but I highly doubt it goes past that,

HTC and Samsung have completely flipped stances on updates over the last 3 years and it is now HTC who gives their devices 6 month lifespans.
[HTC Droid DNA] [indiferenc]:
this phone will be getting 4.2.2 for sure. HTC and llabtoofer confirmed. probably nothing official after that, but i think we'll see dev support for a long time with this phone. its pretty solid
[HTC Droid DNA] mwl1119:
Verizon seems to be putting all their support into Motorola, Samsung, and Apple.

I'll be shocked if we get 4.2.2 officially before the year ends.... if ever.
[HTC Droid DNA] [indiferenc]:
its already confirmed. besides, after the verizon one comes out in august, we'll have a CDMA port of 4.2.2 anyway, so it wont even matter much
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
Yea we will have a freshly baked cdma ril for our sense 5 ports. Yum
[HTC Droid DNA] JeromeLeung:
so as the One gets updates, we can get ported updates for our DNAs as well?
[HTC Droid DNA] [TSON]:
I highly doubt they'll even consider updating this phone before the One gets 4.2.2/the One hype train dies down. At least a month after release I'd say.
[HTC Droid DNA] mwl1119:
It's really a shame that HTC has decided to never stand behind their devices and are on the verge of chapter 11 due to to it.

The 2 year old Galaxy S II is expected to get android 4.2.2 by the end of summer... possibly before the HTC One. The HTC phone that came out the same year as the GS2 was the Sensation and HTC left it dead on 4.0.3 ICS.

I will not buy another HTC device even though I have only had HTC's since the G1. I'm not sure if I want to go Samsung but I may not have a choice.

HTC should just get out of android and sign a Nokia like deal to make Windows junk.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shahaed:
It's half HTC, half Verizon... The butterfly (international version of our phones) got 4.2.2 with Sense 5! So there's hope. At the least someone figures out how to get it working on CDMA and we can flash it. Honestly all I want is ASOP 4.3. No bugs. I'll be content. Until 5.0 comes out ;) seriously though. I'd rather get an iPhone over any Samsung phone. Then my phone will actually have good build quality. And I'd get updates when they're released. And I'd be extremely limited and forced to join the Apple cult... Oh the struggles. :banghead:
[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
The way I understand it is that HTC is more than willing to update devices, but the carriers are c-blocking everything. Makes sense too because why should Verizon allow updates to devices when they can sell a newer device and lock in more 2-year contracts.

What really bothers me is the super secret aspect of it all. Why can't they just come out and say what the plan is and tell us what their intent with updates are (HTC and Verizon). What is really killing them is the lack of information which leads to user frustration and people making up things like "Verizon promised that they were going to update the Rezound by June 1st PROMISED!!".
[HTC Droid DNA] dashshiron:
Left scalmet

That would be true if it weren't for the fact that other phones have seen long support on Verizon and other carriers. Don't have to look further than the Droid Bionic/RAZR to see that. Both shipped with 2.3 and have had 4.1 for quite some time now. Meanwhile, both the Incredible 4G and Rezound haven't gotten past ICS in around the same timeframe. The DNA is the last HTC I buy while I'm on Verizon, if it weren't for the fact that I'm S-Off and we have a great DEV community, I'd be out in a second.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Oh is that all, not hard to please, are you? :p
[HTC Droid DNA] Shahaed:
Haha, yeah well its not like I'm asking for key lime pie ;) the most frustrating thing about Android is how an update will roll on the Nexus devices and it takes months for any other device. Stupid fragmentation. HTC should focuses of a couple high quality handsets and stick with it. Maybe even one. Follow Apple.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Well if they did that we wouldn't see another update at all, we aren't the high quality handset anymore.

It isn't Google's fault for how android gets distributed, it's carrier and manufacturer. I'd take development of custom roms and kernels over a single device being updated faster. To me that's just another ios device. If instant updates are a requirement then really only choices are nexus devices.
[HTC Droid DNA] mopartonyg:
Apple has lost almost 50% of there stock value for that reason 1 device only. I will take the top notch devs we have over a free apple device any day. These guys kick ass. Thanks DNA DEVS.
[HTC Droid DNA] Shahaed:
I love our devs and more the better. The thing is there is so many devices not all can be supported. I mean the DNA isn't officially supported by CM or AOKP. The less fragmentation the better. And that Apple company that lost their stock? We'll they're the most profitable company in America. I hate their policies and their OS, but they offer timely updates, and a high quality device. Why? Because their billion dollar R&D budget goes to one phone. Not 17...
[HTC Droid DNA] mwl1119:
Your post got me thinking...

How are the new upgrade programs these carriers offer going to effect android? Since you can upgrade every 6 months now will we even see updates at all?

Maybe it forces google to use motorola and lock down android.
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
Verizon won't update this phone. If they do then you have less of a reason to jump on the newer phones.

And to those confirmed rumors... The Rezound was confirmed JB as well. How'd that go?

If you want updates, leave Verizon and get a Nexus. Otherwise be happy with what you get from our community devs.
[HTC Droid DNA] mopartonyg:
Then go buy an iPhone. And u read the journal, they used to be the most profitable. The reason they are not is because they are a 1pony show. All the tech people are saying they are going down because of all the good android phones.

This is the same as above (the 1st one listed) BUT (as rumor tells me) a RSD flash of the link will brick your xt907. This due, I think to the encrypted partitions.

This can be restored with TWRP. I could not get calls to work with 4G data at the same time. This may never work on Vzw. Maybe someone can fix it?

This works fine on Vzw

Fooling round with this could break your radio and a rsdlite restore will be the only fix.

Wipe data & cache after restoring. Contains system & boot partitions.

Newer Kernel and same radio as our update.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] HPferoxCraft:
I am on Sprint S4 SPH-L720 4.2.2 updated to MF9 through OTA before rooting.

I rooted using qbking77's method and did a full nandroid backup I had no issues going through either process.

Like probably a lot of people, here's where I get nervous and a little confused.

So am I ready to go and install a Rom or are there steps i'm forgetting?

This is my first time messing with Roms and I don't want to rush it and have been reading this site for days so maybe i'm overthinking it but want to be more safe than sorry.

I've downloaded the TriForceRom 3.0 to my PC and put a copy on my extsd card, ran everything through MD5checker.

Now I watched the video that Unknownforce added at the end of the install notes and it looked easy enough but then in the video when it gets to the the part where you're in recovery mode and going into the advance Wipe menu the guy in the video selects Dalvik, System, Data and Cache and leaves sdcard and usb unchecked (which I get) and then swipes to wipe. But when I go into the Wipe menu it also gives an option for Internal Storage and Preload to wipe, I don't want to make any mistake here and could use some advice. Do I leave them or tick them or am I going about this completely wrong?

I get a nagging feeling that there's something else I need to do before flashing this Rom or any Rom really.

In the Install Instructions it says the Rom comes with AROMA installer, does pop up to prompt you after you choose the zip to install?

If anyone can give me any suggestions or help get me on the right path I really would appreciate it, until then I'll keep reading.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ifly4vamerica:
No need to wipe internal storage. That is basically all the stuff you have on your internal SD card. I also always wipe preload, not sure if it matters but I never have any issues. Sounds like you are ready to go so just make sure to do a fresh nandroid then wipe then run the triforce zip. Aroma will ask you options once you start the flash. You can choose what you would like. Since it is your first flash maybe just use the stock flash the first time. Then you can always go back and reflash. When you reflash you can choose modify and the aroma installer will let you change options without wiping the data from the ROM. Give it a shot if you run into problems restore the nan droid. Oh and when I do a nandroid I backup preload also.
