I have no need for this but it is a great post and find. I'm sure this will help out many people who have bandwidth caps.
[Google Chromecast] cvcduty:
Oops!!!... I somehow read Netflix instead of YouTube. LOL. But I believe same thing applies to YouTube as well.

Anyway...I believe Netflix servers will sense your display resolution and send appropriately sized resolution vids to your TV. So if your TV cannot use the 1080p, it should drop down to the next highest setting your TV is capable of automatically. You should not need to set anything.

Someone with more technical knowledge and assist you further but I believe reading somewhere that Netflix holds multiple resolution copies of each movie file and will stream vids depending on your display capability and ISP speed.

I hope this helps.
[Google Chromecast] jam10238:
This takes the guess work out of the equation though. Im sure the OP could monitor the bandwidth pre and post QoS to determine if that is in fact the case....Perhaps Netflix sends the 1080p signal if the bandwidth is there, but CC downconverts to 720p after the download....
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
The issue is, Netflix has no idea my TV is only 720p, because Chromecast is requesting the video at 1080p if possible. According to my TV's info screen, the HDMI signal from Chromecast is 1080p which means my TV subsequently downscales the signal. I figure that if Chromecast were "listening" to my TV's actual resolution it would be putting out only a 720p signal. So I strongly suspect it's using 1080p bandwidth even when that's excessive.

If Chromecast were downconverting, it would be sending a 720p signal to my TV. But it's not - it's pushing 1080p out and my TV is what's scaling it down.
[Google Chromecast] OuHiroshi:
This is an annoying flaw on CC, it does not let you choose the output resolution. I have a 720p projector but because it supports downscaling 1080p, CC would choose the highest resolution supported. I would rather have CC output my projector's native resolution than going through downscaling.
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
Just a quick addendum: Don't forget that QoS classificaiton rules on Tomato are ordered, such that if you add a new rule for Chromecast at the bottom, existing rules may override it. I realized today that QoS wasn't working when my roommate was streaming to Chromecast and the router showed throughput above 5 Mbps. The details screen showed me that no connections were being set to Class C. After pushing the Chromecast rule to the top of the stack, I was able to keep the bandwidth down to less than half of what it was before.

Having said that - now that I've throttled downstream to 3.2 Mbps I do see a slight difference in picture quality. It could be that the 720p stream has a bit of detail lost to compression artifacts - or other artifacts from the 720->1080->720 round-trip conversion - where the 1080p stream downsampled to 720p does not. But it's still excellent-looking from the couch position!
[Google Chromecast] twcoll:
You can try to change your video quality settings from your account settings on the Netflix website:

-- I cannot post a link yet, but under the settings, it is "Manage Video Quality" in the 'Your Profile' section.

I don't know what the resolution would be if you knocked it down a notch, but you can make a change and see if it still looks good (enough) on your television.
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
I think this makes no difference. I believe this setting is ignored when streaming via Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] OuHiroshi:
Wait, does your ISP event support 1080p (Super HD)? If your ISP has a bandwidth cap then it might not support it. Last time I checked, TWC doesn't support Super HD which is really lame.

To check, just google Netflix Super HD and click the first link.
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
A few answers to that:

1) Yes I believe Telus Optik is reported to natively support Super HD.

2) I'm using Unblock-Us to get American Netflix, which apparently also results in having an IP that supports Super HD. So I kind of have to counterfoil that by making sure it doesn't try and stream 1080p.

3) What I'm unclear on is whether Super HD is even relevant with Chromecast. Do specific DRM-authorized devices like Chromecast get access to 1080p no matter who your ISP is? Or do you need *both* an authorized device and a Super HD ISP?
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
I noticed recently that, even while leaving QoS disabled on my router, Netflix is using a lot less bandwidth and delivering a less crisp but still passable image to my TV.

I suspect that Netflix made a change either to the app or the backend that now respects the bandwidth setting in the Netflix account on Chromecast, whereas previously it would always play at maximum bitrate.
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
Is nobody aware that Netflix has a global bandwidth setting affecting all devices in your online account settings?
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
I am aware. However, my experience was that, until relatively recently, the bandwidth usage of Netflix on Chromecast was unresponsive to the global bandwidth setting, and it would use the maximum available bitrate. Even with my account set to the lowest bandwidth setting it was chewing up about 4000-6000 Mbps. Something changed recently and now it's respecting the global setting.
[Google Chromecast] mark3180:
Slightly naive and off the topic but if I have a device like an Amazon Fire TV and I set the video resolution to 720 would Netflix still stream at 1080 and display at 720?:confused:
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Not really a solution to your issues but unless you have no choice as it is the only access available you really need to find an alternative to tiered internet access if at all possible.

I live in a Rural area myself so I know this is not always an option for people.

If netflix is ignoring some global setting for your account perhaps there is a setting to reduce bandwidth being sent on the playback screen?

Is there a keylock app available allowing me to lock all keys while device is on? Is it possible to get the keylocker function from Windows Mobile 5??
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] brykins:
If you go to Start -> Settings -> System -> Button Lock, you can set it to lock all the buttons except from the power button. That way, when you turn off the screen (leaving the phone on), all the buttons are disabled except the power button.

Be warned though that if you receive a call or a text message, the buttons and screen become active again.

So if you can't take the call it turns on your magician and leaves it turned on :(
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] brykins:
You'll probably have a time-out set on the Magician anyway to power it down after three minutes or so? If you do that then the keylock will come on at the same time, but yes, for that three minutes the phone's keys and touchscreen will be active if you receive a text/call.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Shiftlock:
i have searched around and haven't found quite what im looking for. i find my phone screen is turning on in my pocket and sometimes unlocks. i hear the sound of it unlocking all the time just from the pressure against my leg. i keep it so my screen is faced in because of what i do for work i could easily smash it against something. i have bought a case that helps prevent the side power button and the home button from being pressed but still happens quite often.

what i am looking for is an app/mod that will keep the screen from coming on when the proximity sensor detects that it is in my pocket. this would need to work regardless of whether home/power buttons are pressed or a notification wakes it.

if anyone knows of something like this for our phones i would much appreciate it.

Don't have that app/mod, but you may be interested in this one instead. Killing the home button's ability to wake up the phone. I did this on my S4, although you only need to modify the one file, the gpio-key.kl. You need to be rooted:

Have been waiting to see just how*BlackBerry Messenger*would look and act on our Android phone. The app has been in a*not-so-secret*but tightly controlled beta test for a while, but it looks pretty much the same as it does on a BlackBerry 10 device.

The app seems to have all the same basic features on Android as it does on BlackBerry, including NFC abilities. The layout and controls are different from what we're used to as Android users though, and that may mean some adjustment time.

BlackBerry has stated that they would have the Android and*iOS*versions out by the end of summer, so it's good to see they are close to the finish line.*

Hello there, I'm really new to this device and I wound like some help trying to figure out how to root and install custom ROMs on my device. I'm not new ot flashing ROMs, but I keep reading a lot of conflicting information and I'm not sure what to do.

And just to clarify what the above person said...

ONLY ROOT

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecristobal10:
Is there a way to backup my boot anymation? When I installed a custom kernel it chanhed my animation I want the stock one that I had. So is there a way to back up the stock animation then flash the kernel then restore the boot animation and keep the kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
It depends really. Are you running a stock-based (i.e. TouchWiz, so not AOSP-based) rom? If so, do you mean the boot animation you would have were you unrooted stock? The stock touchwiz boot animation is of a particular-to-samsung (I think anyway) format, and in order to play it a particular binary is used which is called up via the kernel. If the kernel has been made to avoid pointing at said binary then it matters little as it won't know how or where to look for the stock boot animation (although you could try to rename the samsungani binary as bootanimation (back up bootanimation first obviously) in /system/bin... not sure if that would work though).

If you are running a stock-based rom but were NOT referring to the unrooted stock boot animation, then you just need to hunt down where you got that boot animation from originally - if it was from a modified stock rom the file (called bootanimation.zip most likely) would be in /system/media. I believe the same would apply for an AOSP-based rom (meaning they use /system/media/bootanimation.zip for boot animations), so you would just need to hunt down the original.

Not sure that helped at all...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] atxhellcat:
Also, if/when you do find the anim you want, you might not even need to rename it. As long as you have the file, you can install it as the active bootanim through romtoolbox pro.

Edit: not at all attempting to discredit dwith. I've done both. Both work. I'm just lazy.

As fir backing uo, keeo a copy of the file on your sd or in the cloud somewhere. Even if there's a bit if redundancy in storage, it's preferable to loss, imho.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Of all the countries where ZU has been released so far, I am guessing HK has sold the most number of units judging purely by the market size (including all the grey exports which are likely from HK).

Maybe India has bigger population and potential market, but if I was a betting man, I would say HK has sold more units.

And Why Sony has delayed rollout of the latest firmware for such a major market?

Not because they have forgotten, I am sure. Hardware wise they are all C6802 and core of the update should be the same.

The differences in regional models would be the localised software, unique to that geographic location and language.

What is in the HK firmware that isn't n the others, that could be causing a massive delay?

(Anyone who moved from HK to Taiwan or any other in order to update can maybe shed light on this?)

Because if the above is not the case, my simple mind can only assume the remaining possibility, which is that Sony is aware of some fault with latest .510 firmware, and would rather it not get out to avoid headaches.

Unless HK (or China) just enjoyed a 2 week holiday which I am not aware about, I cannot think of any other reasons.

Somebody care to speculate?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yeeson:
Activation LTE?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Correct me anyone if I am wrong...

C6802 will never be LTE compatible.

SnapDragon 800 SoC used inside C6802 is different model number compare to other Z ultras, and has no support for LTE bands.

I am assuming they are different (slightly) hardware wise... but who knows?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yeeson:
C6802 CPU is MSM8974！
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
what about in C6833(?) Cannot remember model name for LTE Z ultra :confused: Exactly the same SoC?

Is HK version same as Z utra available in China mainland?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] yeeson:
HK version C6802 cpu is MSM8974，The C6833 CPU is MSM8974
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vinokirk:
You got that right? I thin thought they were different processors

C6802 has MSM8274
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Hmmm..

Just looked at SD800 section on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)

and looked at Whitepaper for C6802, and it says ''Processor 2.2 GHz Qualcomm MSM8274 or MSM8974 Quad Core''

http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/c6833/whitepaper_EN_c6802_c6806_c6833_c6843_xl39h_4.pdf

U need to scrol down to C602 section

Anyway, since MSM8274 is HSPA+ and MSM8974 is LTE, now I know theoretically both can exist in C6802, and that Yeeson has a point.

How do you check processor model in these phones?

Kinda excited that

maybe

my phone is LTE compliant.

you are right!!

I just installed CPU / RAM / DEVICE Identifier from Google play

My HK C6802 is indeed MSM8974

This means when I do go home back to Japan for the holidays I can use LTE!!!

Thank you for telling me!

Now it makes me think...

Are all C6802 MSM8974? or only HK C6802?

[Vibrant General] iTz KeeFy:
This "dinosaur" can run Jelly Bean 4.2 in case you didn't know, plenty of custom ROMS in the development section. If your staying on 2.2 then there are really no "tips and tricks", as those ROMs are very stable. The basic steps for flashing a ROM with this phone in recovery mode are as follows : format system, data and cache under "mounts are storage"(this is optional but recommended for a clean install). The next steps are necessary everytime you install a ROM unless told otherwise by the developer : wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (under advanced) then install your ROM, now go back to the advanced section and fix permissions, now reboot and wait ten minutes. Note, if your going to flash from 2.2 to jelly bean then you will have to flash the ROM twice, the first flash just updates your recovery mode.
[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
Thanks I wouldn't have known to flash twice on the jb ...I woulda just flashed back to stock and gone from there.

The amount of time before your operator sets the call as missed is activated by the operator, but can be manually set by the user.
