Looks like NetflixUS is not working outside US when you use a smartDNS service like overplay or UnblockUS because it uses only the google DNS and not the DNS of your router.

Apparently, Google hardcoded their own DNS servers into Chromecast, so you need a trick and capable router to circumvent this restriction.

Hey cool man, me to waiting for mine to ship from Amazon, besides YouTube what are the other practical uses of Chromcast in India.
[Google Chromecast] Dragooon123:
ATM besides Netflix, YT and a couple of Google Play services you can't do much anyway. So in India you can't do Netflix as well, but I'm waiting for Chromecast SDK to be made public, then the apps should allow for much easier wireless streaming/mirroring so that'll make a really nice setup. See HD movies straight on your TV without setting up HDMI etc.

That's great, do keep your developments & news on CC posted here for the benefit of Indian users :thumbup::)

It also works in Ecuador

I received the device last week after rushing to buy it in the first batch. You have to sideload the Chromecast APK and then the setup process is the same. Netflix works quite well (even when using a VPN) with Android. Desktop Chrome also works, but you can't use APN services because it causes the Chromecast to lose the connection to the Windows/OSX computer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monwentworth:
Hi evereybody.

I have a GSM galaxy nexus with 4.2.2. Since approximately a month ago the phone started to reboot itself randomly. Sometimes when I was surfing the web, other times when the phone was on standby at night. Well, since the reboots were becoming more frequent I decided to do a factory reset, because I assumed that it was a corrupt application file or something like that. One week into the factory reset it started restarting again by itself, maybe 2 times a day. I searched the web, couldn't find anything useful so I told myself that the 4.3 update should solve the problem (naive me).

Today the update popped and I intermediately installed it. What is my surprise, that in the middle of installation I get the droid icon down on his back and an ERROR message. Rebooted the phone pulling out the battery and now the phone won't pass the multicolored X screen.

I have no unlocked bootloader, and the phone isn't rooted. So I tried to do a factory reset with the default recovery mode the galaxy nexus has. I wiped the phone but I get stuck on the same screen. The funny thing is that every time I try to wipe the caché partition the phone reboots itself immediately.

I don't know what to do. I'm not an advance user, I installed the GNEX TOOLKIT and tried to flash the factory image, but seems like I don't have the USB DEBUGGING option enabled and can't complete the process.

Do I need to send my phone back? (i'm still in warranty) Or is there a way to be able to start my Gnex again?

Thanks in advance.

Hi i made this lok version of cwm touch recovery img so you can now flash it using loki

this recovery is not auto loki so you will need to flash loki_doki.zip

to roms without loki installed

Download the files below

extract cwmtouchlok.zip

use the following adb shell/terminal commands to flash using loki

adb push recovery.lok /data/local/tmp/
adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/loki_flash
/data/local/tmp/loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/recovery.lok

once done you will have successfully installed CWM Touch Recovery on your AT&T Galaxy S4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yarbo:
I searched the i717 general forum for this, and nothing came up so I thought I'd post and ask. Right now I am running the Canadian Jellybean rom floating around (as I have an SGH-i717r) but I really dislike touchwiz, and the performance of this particular rom is kinda crappy.

So I'd like to ask the community what their favorite i717 rom is, and why, as a way to find out more about the roms that are out there and the communities experience with it.

I don't think this question breaks any rules, and as mention I didn't find a similar thread so if this is a violation of any rule, let me know and I'll delete the thread ASAP.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ycon:
Hi,

A friend gave me their old i8190 which has a broken screen. They haden't used the phone in a while.

It makes a noise when I turn it on, and the softkeys light up, but the screen is broken.

However, when I plug it into the PC- it doesn't come up as a device.

I do not want to buy a replacement screen (cost around $70 US) to find out it's broken elsewhere.

How can I determine this- is there anyway to mirror what should be on the screen? The previous owner doesn't know
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deconectat:
You can try to start it in download mode, flash the 3 button combo for recovery (and maybe a custom recovery), reboot in recovery and connect with adb. You will be able to browse the device internal memory and you'll know if cpu and ram works ok.

If you have a rom with usb debugging enabled by default you can run apps using adb (and take screenshots): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4567904/how-to-start-an-application-using-android-adb-tools

Also check this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13326806/enable-usb-debugging-through-clockworkmod-with-adb
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ycon:
Well I'm a bit lost- I'm using the 3 button combo (Home+Volume up+ Power key). Is that combo correct?

Without being able to see my screen, how to I connect with adb?

It makes noises like my PC detects the device, but nothing comes up.

I do have special USB drivers for my I9310 installed- could they be conflicting or anything?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deconectat:
i8190 doesn't have the VolUp+Home+Power combination active by default. You have to start in download mode (VolDn+Home+Power, followed by VolUp) and use Odin to flash a patch to activate the combination for recovery (you'll find the patch here on the forum). If Odin doesn't detect your phone you probably have some other problems except the display.

After you flash the patch you can use VolUp+Home+Power to boot into recovery. When you are in recovery adb is active (even in stock recovery). Just type "adb devices" and you will see your phone.

I don't know about the drivers.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ycon:
I keep trying the combo (VolDn+Home+Power, followed by VolUp) but it doesn't seem to show up in Odin. I don't need a patched Odin for it to work do I?

How long to I have to wait between VolDn+Home+Power & VolUp? And is VolUp by itself?

Sorry for the obvious question- but I've been trying for hours without any success.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssToast:
You just need Samsung drivers for odin to detect your device, not sure if your special drivers is the problem, try downloading this one

Should be around 5 seconds, holding it any longer wont do anything so just continue holding if you're not sure, then just hit vol up only
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ycon:
Thanks for that.

It might be completely broken :(

I've tried two computers- installing the Samsung drivers, and using Odin, but the phone isn't showing up at all.

It's strange, because it sounds like it does work. I switched it on- and the volume buttons seem to make noises, and I even somehow took a photo.

What could be wrong? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ycon:
I really don't want to throw this phone away.

Like I said- it seems to work (takes photo's) but nothing comes up when I plug it into any PC... I don't want to spend $100 on a new screen either, to find out it's broken.

Please help me out.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tys0n:
Yeah, it sounds like you should be able to connect it to odin. Have you tried different usb ports / different computers?

Hello.

My brother just bought his new razr hd and gave me his galaxy s2. At least its much better than blackberry.

Im having some problems with it and I have some doubts.

thanks for your time

-I didnt ask my brother because he is travelling for his work.

1- Once rooted, always rooted? I saw somewhere that if I reflash the baseband I could lose the root. Is that true?

My brother rooted it with 4.0.3 with a bug that you dont even needed to plug the phone to the pc to root it. It had a brazilian firmware, then he flashed a trinidad tobago firmware and did the root. I want to reflash the modem and try new modems. Thats why im concerned about. Can I do it without any concerns?

My root does not have the yellow triangle on boot.

2- Then he installed CM9. Can I factory wipe it via CWM? Im afraid of that superbrick bug, but it now has CM9 kernel. Im safe, right?

It has the crazy chip. Checked with an app.

3- Are you guys also having problem with the new ROM manager version? 5.9.3.0? None functions that need root permissions work. If I uninstall to previous version, it works.

4- Why ROM manager it asks me to install a "new" 6.0.1.0 version when I have a 6.0.1.2 CWMR?

5- I did a factory reset via menu. It is the same as doing factory wipe on CWMR?

6- When he flashed CM9, the wifi roaming bug was fixed. But after I factory reset, it seems to stopped working. When I move between access points, the signal increases then it disconnects and reconnects...

Thanks.

Questions belong in Q&A

Before I answer anything, please check this out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1763193

Now then,

1. Root remains until u manually unroot it (by removing su binary and Superuser app), unroot using SuperSU app, or flash a stock firmware. Flashing a baseband (or modem) doesn't unroot your phone. But flashing an entire firmware does. Still, you can always root if you get unrooted! :cool:

2. Brickbug only affects stock 4.0.4 firmwares with stock kernel. CM9 should be safe to do a full wipe, since you're on a custom kernel. :good:

3 & 4. I suggest you stay away from ROM Manager as many members have reported problems while using it. :rolleyes: Since u already have CWM, you don't need ROM Manager.

5. Factory reset via Settings and via Recovery ought to be the same. I prefer to do via CWM though. :D

6. I don't know about this as I haven't tried CM9 for a long time! Maybe you should check out the CM9 discussion thread to see if someone else has ur issue, and look for a possible fix for it.
