[Google Chromecast] Ladeef:
Im experiencing very slow tab performance. For instance streaming the Colbert Report from a chrome tab is unwatchable even on 480p. I have more than adequate internet speed, just wondering if I'm expecting too much. Netflix and Youtube are silky smooth.
[Google Chromecast] bustinstugots24:
I too am having the same issue. Great wifi connection and speed and both YouTube Netflix are silky smooth. I have my tabs showing 480p and while it plays the embedded videos in the chrome browser, it gets choppy and most times video and audio get out of sync. (the video plays great on my desktop) Trying to find a fix for this as well but understand since it's still in the beta phase. Hopefully an update will come out soon enough.
[Google Chromecast] Roberek:
If you are trying to cast a tab/screen your computer might not be able to handle it, Google posted some streaming requirements.

I'd post the link but the forums won't let me, look for answer 3209990 on the Chromecast support page.
[Google Chromecast] reverenddak:
The bottleneck is a bit of both the casting PC and the WIFI. When casting Netflix or Youtube, the stream goes directly to the CCast. When you cast a tab, the stream is going from the cloud, to your PC, then getting transcoded on your PC, then your PC is streaming the whole thing to the CCast. If your WIFI is pretty robust, it can handle it. Understanding how packets are switched on a WIFI network, there is a lot of overhead. Divide your wifi network's bandwidth by each device, then divide that by two... or something like that.
[Google Chromecast] titooo7:
That's why I wasn't so excited with the from Chrome tab to Chromecast feature.

It can be nice to watch some websites on our TV's, but I'm sure that it won't work very well when we send tabs where we are playing a HD videos. So we just can hope that every video app add CCast support.

Hi to all,

I purchased my XDA while in Hong Kong, however I live in Australia and I am having trouble obtaining the updated Rom installation file for my XDA IIs. The Rom installed is the English ROM version 1.12.62 WWE, ExtRom version 1.12.924.

I have noticed that on the internet there are later updated versions of ROM floating around, I even downloaded on from the Europe web site http://www.msmobiles.com/news.php/3626.html Xda_IIs_v131139_upgrade.exe (38,770 Kb) but when I tried to run it the installer said that My unit was not from Europe and stoped the install. BTW the direct site is http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIs_launchROM.htm

I then found an Asian ROM Update here http://www.mtekk.com.au/browse/page718.html, looks great, nice instructions, and a new version, this page sends me to another web site http://www.seeo2.com/ where when I try to log in it asks for an IMEI code and then refuses to register saying this code is not for our region, but I solved that.

At this site http://www.seeo2.com/ you need to register prior to downloading, and this needs an IMEI code that matches their product, after I went to the Hong Kong part of that site I could register with my code and download, but there was no updated ROM at that site, only the updated Bluetooth driver build 3500 (Which was a big step up version wise for me anyway so I installed that fine)

It still has not solved all of my power issues, and this is an add-in that needs to be re-installed each time I reset so I am looking still looking for an updated ROM.

I hope someone out there can provide a link that points to the place I can download the Asian ROM software that works.

O2 XDA IIs is known as Blue Angel.

Hello again.

Thought I would update my post and dispel the thought that I am an expert in this field. The O2 XDA IIs device that I purchased is also marketed as many other brand names, no surprise here, but this site has a heap of info about it under the name Blue Angel. (I think either the site was recently updated to show photos, or my PC magically started showing them today) this led me to click on the Blue Angel link.

So for all that follow down the same road as myself, check this out first.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moomoopobo:
Hey guys, i've read some threads about the moving of APPS from the internal to the externa sd card via link2SD.

Could somebody outline the steps required to partition the sdcard0(external SD card) so that i can move APPS to my SD card?

Software i'm using for partition is Minitool partition wizard.

Other Info: Sony Xperia SP C5303, build number 12.0.A.1.257, ROOTED phone.

Thankyou! ^^
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Depending on size of card you have got I think 4gig is big enough if you have 32 gig card.

I used easeus partion software free version.

The card must be inserted into PC via card reader not in phone, open software select card and move slider to size of partition needed set it to fat32 and make it primary.

When inserted into phone start up link2sd it will ask how you want ext2sd card to be handled select fat32.

Then with in the app select apps to move and then create link to SD this will move them to ext2 on your ext SD card.

Search xda for link2sd for more info.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moomoopobo:
alright, i will have a try at that =D, thankyou for the very quick reply.

Much appreciated, will report back to see if it works ^^:D
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moomoopobo:
Hey, is there a way to do it without using a card reader or any other software that doesn't need a card reader in order to partition the sd card to a primary?

Because i just found out that my sd card reader is broken :/
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Not that I am aware..... card readers are not that expensive

You need PC to see and read card if it is in the phone it will not show up in partition software.

You can always try.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moomoopobo:
Alright, i'll go out and purchase a new card reader tomorrow.

Btw, i hav a 8GB micro SD card, is that enough for partitioning?

Thanks for your help again, Much Appreciated ^^.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Yes would be better if you could get bigger like 16 gig.... however if you can't then I would make partition about 1-1.5 gig.... A lot depends on what apps and data you are going to use.

If you are going to install asphalt 7 this has game data of about 1gig, angry birds are about 45 MBS so you can see it all depends on your choice of apps.

Best to back up card to PC before starting Incase it goes wrong but they all say no data will be lost.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzztidurvirus:
If youre going to install lots of obb data games, you probably wouldnt need link2sd much, go for folder mount. If youre installing lots of small games like angry birds, subway surfers and more, then you can use link2sd. My sp setup: 4gb ext4 + rest is fat32 on 32gb card. Using both link2sd and folder mount.

Sent from My Awesome Paradox ST21i
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moomoopobo:
Alright, thanks for the reply.

I'll decide in 1 days time to see if i should go for folder mount way(which i need instructions on it) or whether to go with link2sd.

And yes, i have Ashphalt 7 installed on my phone atm. The game is great and ye takes up alot of space :/

Would you guys be so kind to instruct me on using foldermount if i do decide to go with it that way?

And i might as well buy a 16 or 32gb SD card.

Or should i wait for the Android 4.3 update for our Sony Xperia SP? DOes it support the function of moving APPS to SDCARD?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkar1990:
AFAIK, the foldermount has a restriction of 3 or 4 games only in the free version. Lots of other features in the paid version. Check both the apps out on their respective thread in XDA
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Using folder mount is easy to use.

You will need to create a folder on ext SD card (I called mine game data.) Open game data folder you just created and then make another folder (give this the name of the game you are moving over)

Open folder mount app in to box give it name of game.

Middle box select where the game data is either on internal SD card/android/data or SD card/android/data/data

Then bottom box select where to store game data that goes into new folder you just created

Press green tick in to corner when done make sure the pin goes green this make it load at boot.

If game updates the new data will automatically go to the folder you won't need to recreate or re mount.

At boot the folders are automatically loaded

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerb4dger:
Hi,

I would like to setup work mail on my phone, we have exchange 2010 and I'm using the stock mail app for HTC one. I know someone else in the company that also has a HTC one, and they are working fine using the same app. I have copied the settings and the exchange accounts look the same on the server.

ONce I enter the details, it will ask me for a certificate authenication. I accept this and continue to choose which folders I want synced. Mail, Contacts, Calanders etc. Once I've done this and finish the setup, it takes longer than usual to setup and after about 30 seconds replys "Failed to setup account. Please try again later".

This makes no sense as its already got the correct details and I'm connected to wifi.

Does anyone know what this might be? It should work because a colleague has the exact same setup and phone lol.

Any help would be great!

[Google Chromecast] GreenDroidX:
Direct

streaming to Chromecast without using the tab mirror option

1) First find you favorite vimeo URL

for example: I choose this http://vimeo.com/69627704

2) Go to http://keepvid.com/ (This service and other like it can resolve URL from other video site too, not just vimeo)

3) paste in the vimeo address and hit download. You will be presented with 2 links obviously choose the 720p one if possible. Right click on it and copy url it should be something really long like this http://pdl.vimeocdn.com/18706/952/1...n=1375283992_18627ba2bd4d1204fdaacfc695607cc9

4) go to http://googlecast.github.io/cast-chrome/ (I take no credit for this site whomever did it was great)

5) Drop down activity type to HTML5 video play back and paste in the really long URL

6) Hit play (the video should play now, but ignore it and scroll down fast)

7) YOU have to scroll down fast to the bottom on the page and hit the name of your chromecast fast (then your TV will go black screen for a bit seems like a long time 5 secs, then it should play on your TV).

I believe this method work with other video service too as long as you can get their

true

URL, basically you just need an mp4 file or something URL
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
Vimeo is already working on an app. It appears that once the SDK goes out of preview there will be a whole glut of casting apps.
[Google Chromecast] GreenDroidX:
Just found the method to work with putlocker as well. When playing putlocker video, to the bottom right it allow you to "download" the video, I just right click and copy the link and past it directly to step 4 above. And it works
[Google Chromecast] python2121:
I combined http://googlecast.github.io/cast-chrome/ with an apache instance on my macbook air to natively stream an .mp4 to the chromecast, no transcoding or webrtc.
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
Can the video be paused / resumed?
[Google Chromecast] mannequin:
even 720 tab casting is good with my setup but for some reason i couldn't get OP solution to work smooth enough. it pauses rather than stutters.
[Google Chromecast] GreenDroidX:
Yep there is a set of control at the bottom when you click on the chromecast to activate it. You can pause stop volume... I been having good luck with multiple video providers... Best of luck to all until we can get official support. The trick is all about the true url of the streaming video and the github website :) still wondering who made that site. I am trying to study the code, but I am not white listed so it is limited
[Google Chromecast] mannequin:
sort of off topic question:

does it cast the highest resolution available when used natively? for example youtube, does it send 1080 when the video is available in 720 and 1080? i hope they would offer more bitrate/resolution settings in the future.
[Google Chromecast] GreenDroidX:
From what I see, as long as your source from Internet has 1080p then yeah. This is direct streaming, so it work like those YouTube 1080p video directly to Chromecast. However I think you would need pretty good Internet for that. I always have trouble with smooth 1080p streaming even on computer.

[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
No, it doesn't work any more. Google disabled all of these unofficial casting apps by introducing a "whitelist" of allowed apps in their August firmware update. That's one of the reasons why we've dubbed it the Google CrippledCast in our house.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
...and [MENTION=2634811]Kyonz[/MENTION] developed KyoCast to have a custom whitelist, and Team Eureka released Eureka-ROM which lets you use Google's whitelist, Team Eureka's whitelist (which allows things like AllCast, fling and a few other third-party apps), or a completely custom list of your own.

Of course all of that requires root, which isn't possible for newer Chromecasts...
[Google Chromecast] morchu:
you can use curl to play video directly on chromecast

If you have whitelisted device (via Kyocast/ EurekaROM) you can play supported video formats using curl directly to chromecast.

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://<your_chromecast_ipaddress>:8008/apps/Fling -X POST -d "<your_video_link>"

where <your_video_link> is the video link from internet.

<your_chromecast_ipaddress> is the ip address of your chromecast

Still no direct Chromecast support in the Vimeo player, but if you have Plex, the Vimeo channel in Plex works with the Chromecast.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Are you sure it's not a hardware problem rather than software?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] spielleips:
I've had similar issues and found lots of answers.

There seems to be some sort of bug with some xperia models where GPS will not lock after sleepmode is entered no matter how many sats it can see. I've only found forum references to it, but nothing official.

The trick I've discovered is:

Reboot the phone

Turn off WiFi (very important)

Use GPS Test (or GPS status or similar) to clear the AGPS Data and request new AGPS data.

It should then get a lock within about 10 seconds. You have to turn WiFi off so that the AGPS can use your cell tower to get the data.

I'm using the unofficial stock JB on an Xperia U. This only works if your AGPS is working (if you see sats pop up within about 15 seconds before they start locking you're good, otherwise you'll need to fix your AGPS by editing your gps.conf)

Hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

I should also add that it seems to continue to lock quickly after this, but after the phone sleeps for too long GPS stops working again. Then you just have to repeat the process.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] co_mic:
I fixed AGAIN.

Add a below text into the gps.conf.

SUPL_HOST=supl.sonyericsson.com

SUPL_PORT=7275

SUPL_NO_SECURE_PORT=3425

SUPL_SECURE_PORT=7275

SUPL_TLS_HOST=supl.sonyericsson.com

SUPL_TLS_CERT=/etc/Suplcert

It seems to faster lock the GPS satellites.

Please test this.:confused:

These are the models I have short listed:

Xperia V, SP, T, TX or Acro S.

I also have my eyes on Xperia M (but i don't know yet how much it costs or if its available, the functions of this phone is the just the right for me and im attracted to its smaller size), Huawei ascend p1, Samsung s4 mini and the Motorola droid mini (really good specs and hoping it would cost something similar to the rest).

If you had a choice which one would you go for ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baz@gmx.co.uk:
If you like the smaller ones then go for M
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spotja:
1.5 ghz dual-core krait processor plus 4.3" 720p display. Trust me I wear skinny jeans or skinny chinos most of the time and my Xperia V fits nicely in my pockets. It's not that big.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] shorinryu:
I would suggest one of the newer phones sinply due to the likelihood of getting further official updates through Sony if you don't want to unlock the bootloader immediately.

On that note I would suggest between the Xperia T, SP or the M if you do prefer the smaller footprint of the phone. A phone running a Krait chip should be your minimum for further dev support in the future.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dully79:
None. Wait a week or two for the release of the Moto X. If rumours are to be believed and it is as cheap as they say, it will drive the prices down. Then make a decision.

That is whats on my mind and hoping for now. I just came across the Moto droid mini now and edited my first post after being blown away by its specs. The droid mini seems to be the best.

Other than than, im still breaking my head trying to figure out which is best between Xperia V, TX and SP.

My phone usage would consist of :

- Work usage (calls, emails, work site images, work apps)

- Video calling and chat.

- High end and feel good design, handy size (smaller the better), durable

- battery life

- Ability to update to latest android and have good interface and experience. ( kind off bored with the older android versions and so would be great to have new look on the new phone)
