My guess its down to the actual Developer not properly optimizing their Code. I haven't tried playing Minecraft on my P1000 yet. But, I can tell you that Gameloft's My Little Pony Game just plain sucks on the P1000. To the point of being unplayable! Horrible horrible lag, and application freeze / wait / ok (quit) Screens.

Now contrast this to say with Real Racing (a Game that's currently listed as "incompatible" on our P1000's), it runs IMHO just fine. Perhaps not as fine as a Quad-Core 2012/13 Machine can. But, it CAN run it. Same again with Temple Run. The Game just works to my Eye, although every once and, awhile it to "jumps" due to something lagging it up, but, its quite rare to see it happen though.

Turned the phone,removed the battery for 1 min

put battery back

hold the volume down button and then connect the usb cable

the emergency mode screen appears

just open KDZ flasher and select a .kdz file to flash.

It's using almost the same amout of the screen when i'm watching youtube videos..

What should i try to fix this ??
[Google Chromecast] booked:
I bought chromecast the day it came out from best buy. Since then I have used it maybe 3 times. It was more of an impulse buy since most Google stuff is awesome.

The fact that I can only use this with Netflix or YouTube is bs. Trying to get local vids to play through chrome browser is hit or miss. Most of the time it just downloads whatever movie I try to play. If I want to watch a local vid from the comp I just turn on the Xbox.

Hopefully Google gets their stuff together and let's ppl stream from the phone to the tv, then I would use it. Until then it will remain plugged into my TV taking up an HDMI port until I need to plug in something that I will use or until Google adds more functionality. And Netflix streaming sucks. Kinda a crappy "bonus" if u ask me.
[Google Chromecast] wideasleep1:
Not useless, but my excitement has waned significantly. Google seems to be following the GoogleTV mode on this device too, which means we most likely won't ever see it reach its potential, for a myriad of political and monetary reasons. My similarly priced Rockchip MK808 GTV stick has lots of capabilities, but I did have to buy a control point (Lenovo N5902) and it is a bit more fiddly than Chromecast, but the power and capability makes it worth it.
[Google Chromecast] mi7chy:
What's with the incessant whining? The product has only been out for less than a month, it's still getting into customers' hands and its development is in progress. The product's capabilities were clear when you bought it (Netflix, YouTube, Google Play and Chrome tab streaming). Wait for progress or return it and save us the drama.
[Google Chromecast] wideasleep1:
If you want to see what incessant whining looks like, please visit any Logitech Revue GTV forum...
[Google Chromecast] Shieze:
I see a lot of people complaining that this device only does what google said it would do. I don't understand this. When the SDK is officially released and apps start appearing then you will get extra functionality but until then don't complain that you can do exactly what was advertised.
[Google Chromecast] HowardZ:
I agree, chromecast is pretty much useless.

Casting from a Chrome browser tab gives me a low quality picture.

I'm back to using hdmi cable.

It will gather dust until someday Google permits Fling to function again.

Or maybe until the next garage sale?

[Google Chromecast] raptir:
I'm pretty happy with it so far. Netflix support is great and Play Movies is (in my opinion) the best place to purchase digital movies. Really the only thing it's missing for me is playing *ahem* acquired movies.
[Google Chromecast] soreyes:
I am happy with it so far.

I have never been a big youtube user because i don't like to sit at the computer and watch videos. Chromcasting youtube has been a ton of fun for me over the past couple of weeks. I find it a little easier than using youtube in the browser on my htpc with the keyboard. I experience less eyestrain looking at the tablet in my hands than trying to navigate youtube the screen 10+ feet away.

...but hoping the pace of new casting enabled apps picks up.
[Google Chromecast] gottahavit:
Thats funny since the app you loved so much uses the same video compress as the chrome browser. I cant beleive anyone is happy flinging <480p video(as far as i know the 500px width is about the highest quality webm video they've gotten to go to the chromecast. Its a neat tool but not practical for transcoding hidef video(or even dvd)
[Google Chromecast] HKSpeed:
I agree with the current lack of usability. Hopefully new functions will appear soon.
[Google Chromecast] Eternalty:
It does what Google said it would do. More functionality hopefully will come and should come. But I use Chromecast daily for watching Breaking Bad and YouTube for my son

[Google Chromecast] RockRatt:
I got mine about a week ago ir less after being on backorder for 4 weeks. I too HOPE we get more functionality from it soon/in time. BUT it has been nice to have for me for the price. My living room big tv has directCRAPtv connected to it which is okay but no other real devices except dvd player and vhs bel8eve it or not (which hardly ever get used).

So for the price it cost $42 shipped even with netflix it is worth thst little money. We have 3 roku's connected in three other rooms with netflix already, Hulu+ and they cost what about 3 times as much and dont do much more than this.

Since we have already seen some PREVIEW apps that shows what it CAN DO I know in time it will have more usage available. Hell I remember when the google market didnt have many apps with my first android device. I kept seeing comparisons (as stupid as they were) about iCrap having way mire apps available. Some things like this Chromecast start off slowly but I bet most apps worth streaming will work soon enough. So for the price I paid I can wait a while for the functionality I want.

I am an adult and have some patience. We have already seen Google response to the local streaming content. So I know in time it will come. So no worries. I probabky wont buy another 1 or more until it has the functionality/apps ready. But for the price and features already it is worth it. I rather watch the netflix on the 72" screen than my rooms 3w inch screens, let alone my tab or phone. Do I watch it on the other devices? Yes. So I feel the difference in the big screen...

[Google Chromecast] TheLoonyRebel:
No offense to you but a good amount of that "incessant whining" is highly justified. Logitech pretty much has left us with a device that is buggy beyond belief. If I can't do simple stuff like YouTube without having to reformat it every other day then it's a fail in my opinion. Aw well once I can get my hands on the MiniX Neo X7 then I'm done with the Revue once and for all.
[Google Chromecast] wideasleep1:
None taken...I felt your pain for a few weeks before throwing in the towel on that product (ow, the pain of early adopter). My point is that we've 'been here before' with some Google widget that fell short of its promise, owing to a too-early, 'not ready for prime-time player' (nod to the SNL oldsters out there) and disorganised messages about updates and direction of development. If they're hunkering down in attempt to curry favor with big media companies (learned a lesson from GTV?), we're in for a long wait, and likely a hampered SDK, Still, I like what I've seen from these third-party devs (Bubble, ALL/Air, etc.), and hope we see a quick release and uptick on 'indie' dev that doesn't necessarily promote Google's own agenda. :)

edit: I'm curious why you prefer the Minix X7 over a recent MK Rockchip stick?

Hey all,

I'm pretty new to android development and I was curious if anyone could tell me the benefits of learning C++ alongside Java (specifically while working with Android).

My first project that I'd like to accomplish seems a little arduous, though I do have help. I'm attempting to create an app that is used to catalog clothes, but also parses image data to detect the colors. In this way, it will be (hopefully, by some means) possible to have the app help match the clothes for the user. The inspiration for this is my extreme colorblindness.

Anyone who potentially has feedback regarding interpreting data from the camera on Android, feel free to pitch your two cents.

[C++ or Other Android Development Languages] PiccoTripex:
not sure you need c++ for your project

My experience with C++ (using Marmalade) is that if you need a lot of UI, than you are better off with the Java framework. Designing UI with Marmalade is a real pain. It's great for power hungry games and apps, but not for UI.

If you absolutely need to use C++, my advise it to start with the native Java and NDK, and only if you're not satisfied, look elsewhere. Even in Marmalade, which is supposed to be cross-platform, you will reach the point, too quickly in my opinion, in which the SDK doesn't give a cross platform solution to what you want (say use a downloaded third-party sdk, or request some OS function that the SDK does not offer), and you will have to implement specific OS "EDKs", so will have to know your native coding anyway.

[C++ or Other Android Development Languages] const_char:
I would choose for this between two options: develop entirely in Java except for the portions that are computationally heavy, which can be implemented in C/C++ using JNI glue code. Or you may implement everything using a C++ based framework, like Qt, both for the creation of the UI and of the rest of your application. With Qt of course, the specific UI portion can be written using QML, which might be faster.
[C++ or Other Android Development Languages] Scalibq:
I second this, with the sidenote that you should only use C/C++ if the computationally heavy code is actually time-critical.

I mean, at first glance, your project sounds like it won't be very taxing on the CPU anyway. So having a full Java version may still be fast enough, and the user wouldn't even know the difference. In that case C/C++ is not worth the trouble (JNI is very ugly, and you shouldn't use it unless you really have to).

you can get pixel color use this sample code.

String imageUrl = SOME_IMG_URL;

InputStream in = new java.net.URL(imageUrl).openStream();

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);

int pixel = bitmap.getPixel(x,y);

and.

int red = Color.red(pixel);

int blue = Color.blue(pixel);

int green = Color.green(pixel);

you can get average color value of SOME_IMG and you can catalog this.

it seems easy!

1.no xda premium

2.no nova launcher and another awesome mod apps

3.easy root no need to unlock bootloader

Is the problem cause by

Anti virus program

Or by window fire wall(off)

Or by pc companion(don't have in my computer)

Or by install flashtools in D not C

Or by samsung kies(my bro program but now I uninstall it)

Or by by anything else?

I haven't encountered with this type of problem.

:what:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] paulsm:
Don't think anyone can help a lot because it doesn't seem a normal issue.

What I would say for sure is that the firewall is not the problem because it is off and even if it were on that should not affect the communication between a computer and a phone via USB cable as that is not an IP communication.

PC Companion is not needed to flash a ROM with flashtools.

You don't install flashtools anywhere. The only thing you install for flashtool are the drivers and those are installed in the place where Windows needs to install them. But the application is not installed anywhere it can be run from any place as far as I know. It should work just perfectly from a pendrive, external drive, from drive C, D, or Z, ..., or whatever other storage device. Besides if the process starts you can imply flashtool is working properly.

So the only things I could bet are:

* you have a faulty ROM file. But probably this is not the case as I suppose if you have a faulty ROM flashtools will warn about it somewhere when it reads the ROM.

* you are not using the correct ROM for your phone model (ST25i or ST25a).

* you have a faulty USB cable or USB connector that lost connection on the middle of the process.

* you had not enough battery on the phone when you started the flash proccess so the phone lost power on the middle of the process.

(if flashtools finish the flash process correctly with the message that ask you to unplug and restart phone then 3 and 4 can be discarded)

What I would do is check which phone you own ST25i or ST25a and download the stock 6.1.1.B.1.100 ROM for your model from a reliable source and if possible from somewhere that offers an MD5 checksum to be sure you get the file without errors. Download again the last version of flashtools. Be sure when you flash to have enough battery on the phone (not sure what is the recommendation but more than 60% should be safe). When you flash rest the phone somewhere where nor the phone nor the cable move the least to avoid any lost of connection on the middle of the transfer.

Or you can just install PC Companion and update to the official ROM but probably that would be 6.1.1.B.1.54 ROM that doesn't work very good on my experience.

Hey Guys,

I am hoping someone could assist me. I have been using various roms over the past couple of months with no issues. Tonight I flashed a rom and went through the setup process. Once completing the setup it went to the install and showed 100% then rebooted. Now it is stuck in the never ending reboot.

I have attempted to wipe the cache, and dalvik cache and reboot but still nothing. I've attempted to go and reinstall the rom but the odd part is that there are no files found on my device.

I then attempted to go to my SD card due to I have all my ROM's, other than the one I was flashing, there. However, it won't recognize the SD card.

I'm sorry if this is an easy fix but I am truly not sure how to proceed.

Hi,

I'm not asking which is best, because we all know that is subjective.

I am currently using the Google edition 4.3 ROM and I like the case lock/unlock & notifications a lot. I have used CyanogenMod on my past machines and loved it. My question, does CM10.2 support use of the case lock/unlock feature? Does it allow the answering of calls via the case preview panel?

I am missing lots of the CM10.2 features, but not enough to lose this.

Your advice and opinion would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crzykiller:
I'm not entirely sure if it has it but I remember someone saying it did have that feature. Though even if it didn't, the battery life of CM 10.2 with a custom kernel is light years ahead of a Google Edition ROM so just for that reason I would go for CM 10.2
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rassilon7:
Battery life is not really an issue because I have a spare battery.

I did install 10.2 the first day that I got the phone, but the case lock/unlock wasn't working. Maybe I needed to activate something?

Hopefully it will get added in the future when we have a stable release? I hope so because I miss lots of features, including Focal.
