[Google Chromecast] firesoul453:
Reader's server costs didn't outweigh the money they made from ads.

wave still exists, just not worked on by google.

the other device in the list (nexus q) was canned before it was released. It only had a few more features than a chromecast but was $400. They canceled it because no one was going to buy it.

THis device has been a huge success and google could barley keep up with sales.
[Google Chromecast] gqser:
mine just came in the mail today and i ordered it on 7/25/13
[Google Chromecast] Legobricke:
I am also a tad disappointed....

4 weeks in and we have seen nothing as to new app's.

With these things selling like hotcakes and being sold out everywhere, I would have thought that we would have seen something by now.

If Netflix and Google tv/movies work, what could possibly be holding up the likes of Hulu/HBO/Showtime etc?
[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:
It's not really possible given only a preview sdk.
[Google Chromecast] Legobricke:
Understandable...

But one would assume that if they have Netflix up and running, they could partner and get other up and running...
[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:
I think they knew Netflix had to work in order to sell it. By only having to deal with one partner, they can work with them to modify the SDK pretty easily. The whole thing seems to be a beta test at this point. Once they feel it is ready, they will push it out to everyone else.
[Google Chromecast] IamPro:
My body is ready
[Google Chromecast] TabGuy:
The strategy may be to release it once more devices are in the pipeline. No need to anger those waiting to get theirs even more.
[Google Chromecast] neo4uo:
Does anyone have an estimate of how many they have sold?
[Google Chromecast] TabGuy:
Leo LePorte on Twit reported that Amazon sold 700,000 of them. On the first day.
[Google Chromecast] firesoul453:
no not in total but the fact that google had to cancel the netflix offer in just a few hours or so means they sold well. Google even said it was "due to overwhelming demand."

Also the fact that places were running out of stock so fast means demand was higher than supply and if you know anything about economics you know that means its doing very well. (well because its something mass produced and intent on selling, i guess that rule wouldn't nessessarly count for some rare item)

heck some guy told me he bought 3 and sold them on craglist or something like that for like $75 each I think and he kept the netflix codes.

I can't believe you guys are already freaking out google is going to abandoned it before the final sdk is out.
[Google Chromecast] golden_35:
Uh-oh. Is there a chance that Google may cancel Android too? Better get an iPhone! [/Sarcasm]
[Google Chromecast] firesoul453:
Heck I went ahead and started searching with bing just in case!

Honestly at this point even if google, amazon and samsung all stopped supporting and using android it wouldn't die.

Android is pretty much here to stay for the foreseeable future.
[Google Chromecast] neo4uo:
Well I bet they are mass producing them now...its a no brainer at $35 and also at the perfect price of being an "impulse buy" my god its better than a droid 1 phone minus the screen amoung a few other things. :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinky360:
Hello guys... one question... there is a kernel or a mod to control the cores ? Honestly im keeping my cpu at 1026 Mhz. I want to keep it at 1.89 ghz but only 2 cores. Is possible?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Look in the Original Development Thread for the kernels that may support that option.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvelonTs:
Why do you want to do that?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinky360:
Why not ? Save battery, no heating up so hard ( im playing only one game ..., and 1080 video im not watching ) im using it for gps, work emails, music. Light stuff.... " can you image ? Im in stok rom ( yeah ... only rooted to get rid of all those apps )

PS. Not a single Rom have attract my attention like on my old i9100. Most of the roms they doont have air view, gesture... from what i read
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvelonTs:
And probably never will as the smart features are attached to touchwiz ...

Also if i understood correctly u have custom kernel and u set the clock at around 1ghz which if it does the work for u should save u more battery than 2 cores at max freq ... apps don t use all cores at once anyway except if u are heavy mutlitasker ...

I m no expert so don t take my word for granded but as far as i can tell u are gaining more with underclocking than when u just shut down cores
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
True, also underclocking and disabling cores will take the tasks longer to finish so the real gain by doing this is minimal to 0.

Undervolting (moderately) however with a custom kernel may be usefull to reduce heat issues.

Is your sd card inserted and can you access it on your phone?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Mcfake:
hi all i have 12 XDA 2 under the Qtek brand. And i have had stupid amounts of issues with sd cards. i have gone though over 30 of em.

im using the latest firmwares and im usign them for tomtom 3.09 and email attachments.

but i keep getting the SD cards dying. do most users find this normal?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Rudegar:
i had a sandisk 256MB with my xda1 and that never gave any problems but were a bit slow

with my xda2 i had a 128MB sandisk card also slow

now i have a kingston 512 elite pro and it's fast and ok

never had a sd card die in any device

but sd cards have limited writes before they die but they have 1000's of writes before that
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Mcfake:
i have had many SD cards varing from dane elec. Viking. and kingston.

all of these are 512k and not (hi speed) just standard. but i hav e had to send so many back for completly dying. my supplier thinks i eat them or something
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Rudegar:
odd maybe there is something wrong with your xda so it gives them too much power or something

you mean 512MB right ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] twichibi:
Try Kingston. Mines a 256mb and I haven't had any problems at all. TomTom is fast (both version 3 & 5) and never had any die on me
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] art103:
I've also had a 256MB Kingston, which has been faithful in my XDA 2i.

I thought ok, time to get bigger, so put in a 1GB Toshiba, followed by a 512MB Toshiba.

Both of which are now DEAD!

90 quid, Mwaa... Bye bye!

I tend to agree with RudeGar - I would imagine that the HTC manufacturers didn't want the extra cost of a variable regulator to power the SD card, so if it negotiates a lower voltage, they are not able to supply it...

Linux just reports "block read error" when trying to access a dead card, Windoze hangs!

Anyone found a way around this problem?

Cheers,

Richard.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] toneebhoi:

oh yes it is
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] somynex:
dunno if this will help anyone, but i started with a regular sandisk 128mb, then upgraded to a sandisk ultra II 256, then a kingmax (not kingston!) platinum 512mb, then now a toshiba 1gb. All this on my xda2.

all have been fine except one time where i had a problem with the kingmax platinum, but i suspect that was because i dumped it in a card reader, and did some major transferring in and out of large files (movies, etc). Soon it would show a greatly reduced capacity in both my xda and card reader. Got cnetx's flash format, fixed & formatted it, and now it's fine, though i've since moved it to my digicam, and now use the toshiba 1gb.

sd cards...

Hi all, I've got a maxell 128mb and a Panasonic pro high speed 512mb. My Maxell gave me a bit of a scare when i had my Xda2. All my data was wiped off !!! I inserted the card the one day and it was as empty as the day it was born. Took it back to Dixons and that was not much help. They said i can send it away to try and retrieve my lost data.

I cut my losses and formatted the card on my PC. No probs since

I am now using both cards in my xda2i and i've had no data loss.(touch wood)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ianpac:
I have been using 128 and 256 Ridata cards for 3 years without any problems. Also I have used a 512 Astone for the past 9 months for movies also without incident.

I always keep my spare ones inside a case and don't expose them to direct sunlight. They may be tough critters but you can damage them if they are mistreated.

MMC or SD

I have an XDA IIi (Well the Qtek version of it) and am going to get a memory card in the order of 512Mb for it. There seems theres been a lot of bother been had with the SD cards. Has anyone had any problem eith MMC's? Are there any disadvantages to using MMC cards (speed etc)? Can anyone reccomend a cheap SD card at this size that they have had no problem with? Cheers

I represent a test set of scripts for the automating kernel configuration.

Written and tested on version 3.4.33 [Kernel]FlashBeatsReloaded v3.4.33 OC 1,56Ghz AROMA.

"Having played enough" programs Trickster MOD, Faux123 Kernel Enhancement and similar, I has decided that it is necessary to simplify the process of installing the best, in my opinion, parameters for the kernel when the smartphone turns on. I love experimenting and having fun testing a majority of ROM and kernels. To reduce the "manual work" after reinstalling the ROM/kernels, I did this file.

The installation via TWRP, the presence of pre-installed support INIT.D necessary.

I express my sincere gratitude to users 4PDA.RU and XDA forums for a huge amount of background information and examples of various settings.

I thank all those whose work and experience has helped me to write the script.

Special thanks to the user Thestealth2, which is developing the project [Kernel] FlashBeatsReloaded.

Functions, performed by the script:

Performing FSTRIM for partitions /system, /data and /cache. Analogue "LagFix (fstrim)", but without the "unnecessary" actions and attitudes.

Disabling some "kernel sleepers"

Running the generator of entropy. Analogue - "Seeder"

If the kernel presence ZRAM support, activates the swap file on 200 MB.

Various tweaks related to EXT4 file system and database files format SQLite.

Setting the minimum and maximum CPU frequency

Installing the CPU governor to Ondemand and tuning the power save mode

Installing the I/O Scheduler to ROW and its setting

Installing the GPU governor to Ondemand and configure it

Setting the read ahead buffers to 2MB for internal and external memory

Other tweaks

PS: Criticism, suggestions, etc. welcome.

PPS: I'm not trying to impose someone my opinion, just show one way of the setting options.

Hi

I'm currently having a problem with my S4 that is driving me mad.

Ever since I got the phone I've had a bit of a problem with the WiFi connection. I've flashed a few kernels and some seems to help the problem more than others but it's still there.

What happens is the phone connects to WiFi no problems. Then maybe after a few minutes of use the phone won't give me any data. If I search a Web page it just hangs and then says unable to display web page. I then have to knock the WiFi off and back and and it cures the problem temporarily.

Sometimes the WiFi connection can be fine and last a few hours without hanging. Other times it can last a few minutes. The WiFi icon always remains on the screen and the arrows act as if data is getting processed but nothing ever happens. The odd time it will also kick itself off the WiFi and reconnect.

It's driving me mad having to constantly knock it on and off. I'm missing WhatsApp messages for hours because of it also.

Is it a common problem? If not the phone

is still under warranty so I will have to send it back but then that's me phone less for god knows how long :mad:

Any help would be great.

Done the above and indeed you get to a point where Wifi power saving mode is on. I've knocked it off and will see how I get on in the next couple of days. It does make sense that the power saving mode could be killing the Wifi every now and again.
