[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mobilecat:
Quite Happy :)

I have had my MDAIII since June and I am quite happy with it. It has its misbehaving moments. I have had to do 3 resets in that time only and only lost stuff the 1st time.

I had 2 at the beginning that needing replacing very quickly as they were duds but this one has been fine since day one. I think there are definately some sustandard ones out there.

I haven't bothered altering any of the techincal specs as it suits me fine - and until I find something I can't do that I need to upgrade for - I prefer not to take the risk of damaging it beyond repair.

I have bought a new cradle from ebay (an O2 one) as mine broke quite quickly. I have a fabulous red leather Peil Frama case, a motorola bluetooth headset and most of the time it is fine - apart from on the days when it can't find it (like today - arghhhh). It goes through periods of being fine and periods of being reliable. Once I have a connection its fine - but it can't always find it. The 2 duds I had at the beginning couldn't do it at all.

I have ordered a usb pen drive card reader so hopefully I will be able to make it compltely compatable with other peoples computers (like at college) and also a Bluetooth foldable keyboard for full size typing when away from home.

Thats about it really. I shall let everyone know how my new gadgets are.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] starik:
same here - quite happy.

at first, i made a mistake of toying and customizing it to max and loading with tons of 3rd party software. The whole thing began to suffer.

Hard reset...

so now i have a pretty vanilla OS, NO registry tweaks (as far as i remember), with just a handful of apps (that i actually use). Been running great for months now.

the pro's are obvious, i wont mention them.

the cons:

BT - i stopped using my headset with blueangel ;)

wifi - idiotic 5 minute timeout, and automatic reconnection rarely works

memory management - kudos to Bill asshole and his gang

camera - don't bother indoors or in low light

battery - better buy extended one on ebay

considering u can get a used unit for like $400, i say it's a great deal given the features u get
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] kdskamal:
i am pretty happy with my BA too.

I dont know, but, the BA starts behaving erractically when the battery level drops below 35%. It never wakes up from stand-by. when it does, it soft resets. I am using 2003SE

is anyone here experiencing the same issue.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Nail:
and i happy with my BA. but if he can speaks russian, i'll happy at all
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AdmiralAK:
I would rate it as "OK"

The keyboard slider has become loose over time for me, bluetooth is "OK", but then again I dont use it that often (Just to sync and sometimes for calls over a BT handsfree).

WM2003SE definately has problems - wait for a WM5 device.

I generally reset my phone once every couple of days because it gets stuck

Other than that, I am used to it. If I had money I would buy another one :p
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] straniero:
I love it

I ould never go without my PDA2K

I admit the BT functions are crap. but, hey, I don't really need them
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] tekhound:
Went away, but came back

I had left my PDA2K for a JASJAR, then just recently tried a Treo 700W.

I thought WM5 was the way to go. I thought a newer model was the way to go. I thought that with the success of the original Treo, the combined minds of Palm and Microsoft would produce a great product. Boy was I WRONG!

I am back to my BA (WM2003SE) and I have realized that it does exactly what I need it to do...a PDA that can access my corporate email. I am back to using my Samsung A530 phone because it does exactly what I need it to do...work. IMHO PDA Phones currently suck as cell phones, but people use them because of the single device nirvana idea . Then *****ing threads start because they spent a mint, were promissed a single device that does everything, but it just wasn't quite as good as they expected (or were told).

Someday, there will be a convergence device that will be a good cell phone, PDA, and media player. But for now, I'll stick with my BA, A530 and iPod.

How can I watch paid videos on Chromecast ?

Right now it does not work for paid videos.

It only works with free videos

I am talking about paid channels for which I have already paid

Example: Willow TV

It gives an error 'cannot play this video, try some other video'

any pointers ?
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
Do you mean paid content from Play Store? Or from YouTube?
[Google Chromecast] ayemprady:
No i mean content from paid channels like willow tv.. They route their paid content via YouTube.. I have already subscribed for it.. I pay for it.. Monthly.. Like Google Play music
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
Yes that is what I meant, paid content from YouTube. In theory that is supposed to work but I have never tried it.
[Google Chromecast] ayemprady:
This is really irritating as I am unable to watch the content I have paid for.

If I am able to watch on my laptop I should be able to see it on chromecast as well
[Google Chromecast] zylstrajs:
What methods have you tried? You mention your laptop... so I'm going to assume you've installed the Google Cast extension for chrome.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd

Try:

Opening tab to desired site

Cast tab

Play video

Adjust settings as desired

What did you try in order to get the "Error:cannot play this video, try some other video." message?

---

Also, did you google your question? There is a support page regarding Paid content and the Chromecast.

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3285407?hl=en
[Google Chromecast] ayemprady:
I don't think this can be done, Google itself says viewing live channels is not possible

Yes I can use cast a chrome tab but it has its own disadvantages, in Google's own words:

https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3265953

I will try and open a ticket, lets see what they say..

Because they say we can see Paid channels if not live events
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
Are you casting paid content from the button inside the YouTube window on desktop Chrome? Or are you using the Android app? Have you tried both?
[Google Chromecast] ayemprady:
I have tried birth the app and YouTube. Com on my laptop

Same error both the times...

There was an error playing this video. Please choose another video
[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:
Willlow TV is live tv streaming. Chromecast does not support live streaming channels on Youtube. The only way around it right now is to use screen casting in Chrome.
[Google Chromecast] ayemprady:
I agree live tv is not supported but what about the videos uploaded by the channel.. I should be allowed to see them since they are not live
[Google Chromecast] shawnsunny:
Have you been able to find a resolution?

Have you been able to find a resolution for this? It lets we match highlights but not replays. :(
[Google Chromecast] jasenko:
I subscribed to UFC Select Youtube channel hoping it would work on Chromecast. The videos start playing but stop after about a minute or so with a similar message as the OP posted. Unsubscribed :(
[Google Chromecast] The Project:
Im able to play League of Legends on my laptop, but I am unable to stream it through my chromecast.

Should I complain? No.
[Google Chromecast] ayemprady:
still not able to find any resolution/fix..
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Live streams could work but the Live Stream your talking about probably has some DRM method that won't currently work on the CCast.

Give it time though I'm sure all of those type services will support CCast when they get around to it.
[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:
YouTube doesn't support live streaming of any kind on the Chromecast or any of their other DIAL compatible apps on tvs and other devices. Why that is, I have no clue. It has been quite a while and they haven't said anything about live streaming so I wouldn't expect it any time soon.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Likely it has to do with the authentication involved, but it could also have something to do with DRM fears.

Remember that Chromecast is essentially a headless micro-computer client - so it's accessing the media separately from the device making the cast request.

It's like if I called you on the phone and said "Hey, go to this YouTube link" - your YouTube session would have no knowledge of my laptop's session, and if the link I give you isn't available to your account, you won't see it.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Not to mention CCast only supports Widevine and Playready DRM...

It would not surprise me to find that the Live Channels on You Tube are using some other DRM or Encryption method.

You should write to the channel your paying the sub to and get them working on CCast support.

So i'm new here( well been reading alot already)

My name is guido from holland.

My problem with my s3 is the home button, when i'm on a app ( doesn't matter wich one) and i press the home button, it takes like 4-5 seconds before i see the home screen, and then it has to redraw itself. I already searched here but all i coild find was the animation set to 0, 5 and disable-ing tje s voice command.(what i already did)

I tried removing every home screen and put 1 app in it. Didn't work.

I didnt try factory reset , because i dont want to lose all my data.. ( even tough i could backup it somewhere)

It's getting quite annoying. So is there a solution to this?

Hi.

My LT26 is actually on rom stock .211 (tried .96, better battery but trouble with camefa focus).

Was is a good rom for JB 4.2.2 (and what kernel with it) ?

It seems that 4.3 roms are still in testing sequence ?

Thks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
in my opinion the 4.3 rom is more stable than the 4.2.2's I've been using it daily since it's release and never any issues
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] luptatorul:
4.2 rom

I think... PAC rom might be want you are looking for, but I'm not sure... :-?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dermaze:
Different flavours...

Hello,

during the last few months, I tried several roms. If you rely on HDMI and want to have the best from your camera (but not the newest features), you should stick with modifications of the Xperia rom.

Most of the time I had SlimBean on my Xperia S, but they have for now finished the development, stopped with a (in my opinion very good) 4.2.2 stable version. For me it worked perfectly on a everyday basis, stable, fast, and with a very nice all-black interface (as most roms offer now). You can download it on their website. And here is the link to the according xda-thread. But many links on that forum thread are now dead, as the downloads have been moved to the "Old Releases" section on the website. If you want to use another kernel with it, I chose the OpenSEMC beta2 kernel, but I did not find any differences in comparison to the stock SlimBean kernel. Don't use 3.4 kernels with the 4.2.2 SlimBean Roms! SlimBean relies on 3.0 kernels, here is a discussion about this topic.

But now I wanted to have some android 4.3 running, and so far I see only two options for that:

The PAC beta1 which I have currently installed (still some issues there, but is OK for daily use and FAST), and the AOSP alpha1 which I have not tested so far.

I hope this helped you a little bit! If so -> thanks-button is waiting ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
RC2 kernel should be the same as slim bean hence not noticing any difference.

I'm still on aosp 4.3 and it's still consistently smooth and fast
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dermaze:
OpenSEMC beta2 with SlimBean, NOT the RC2

Hello,

as corrected by now, I made a mistake in my post above, it is the OpenSEMC beta2 kernel you need for the use with SlimBean, NOT the RC2.

In this post is an according link (second one).

I'm currently using a carrier unlocked Verizon S4 with my AT&T sim. It was working fine, I was getting HSPA+. I decided to factory reset it today to clear up all the junk and now the data doesn't work. I get service and I can make calls, just no mobile data. I used the same APN settings I had before the restore. Tried turning mobile data on/off as well. Not sure what could be wrong. Any help appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] clapper66:
One time with my gs4 I could not get data to work at all. for some reason I could send a picture and it would an show 4G to send the pic then not work at all after that. Could you have possibly have a sim card go bad?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Heisenberg Yo!:
I put the sim back into my GNex and it works fine.

There is another issue. Before factory resetting the phone, the time on the status bar wouldn't update. Only the clock/weather widget updated. So, mobile data worked before the reset, but the clock didn't. After the reset, clock works but no mobile data. There has to be a connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Is this on stock or a custom rom? Did you mod anything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Heisenberg Yo!:
Stock rom. The only thing I did was a custom recovery (TWRP) and rooted using this method.

Update: I restored it to when data was working and now the clock syncs up fine. Just need to figure out why the mobile data doesn't work when I factory reset.

As the title says the ATT Order Page is up, only the black is available, for $199.99 on 2 yr contract and $27 per month on ATT Next, Off Contract is $574.99 I just placed my order and chose overnight shipping.

https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/lg/g2-black.html#fbid=rLQ5nMyX7s_

Update: Just received the phone, some things of note. The ATT version does not come with a headset (kinda sad about that). Charger, micro usb, phone and sim tool are included. Along with quickstart and warranty. Back of the phone has a sticker with IMEI and Serial # info. Phone is covered with plastic, so be sure to peel off the back the screen, the top, bottom, and side bezels, as well as the volume up & down, and lastly the power button.

Congrats man. Please don't forget to give your review as soon as you receive it.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

AT&T Version:

Non removable battery 3000mah

32gb built-in memory, No sd-card slot

capable of 4g LTE speeds.

International Version:

Removable 2400mah battery

sd-card slot available

Has 3g capabilities but incapable of 4g LTE

If I were to pick i would pick AT&T only, i don't want to loose the LTE speeds. There are instances where i would get 50Mbps down and 20 Mbps up with AT&T versions. This is impossible with international versions in united states.
