[Hardware Hacking General] greenboxal:
With SecureBoot, all boot images, that's SBL1, SBL2, SBL3, ABOOT, and the kernel, are signed with Samsumg private RSA keys(see link 1). Before booting each image, the previous stage of the bootloader checks the next one with a public key that is embed on the current code.

For your question, the ABOOT image which is based on LK, loads the kernel on memory, and before executing it, checks the signature with the embedded public key that is on ABOOT. I don't really know where are the sources for Samsumg ABOOT, nor if they are public. They should be by LK's GPL license.

See link 2 for information on exploiting SGS4 secure boot and information about LK and ABOOT.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JacobJaneiro:
Hi,

I am a team member of First Robotics FRC Team 1647.

One of the things that we do is scouting to gauge our opponents and potential partners for upcoming matches.

We recently acquired a batch of 7 of the galaxy tab 2s and we plan to use them for scouting.

We want to know if anyone could give us a hand, though.

We want to (preferably without having to root, but we would be willing to if need be):

-Connect the 7 tablets together so that they can interact without involving a wifi network (theoretically, we can interfere with the field systems and that's a big no no)

-Share/modify the same document on multiple tablets at once to compile our scouting information (scouting information would be mostly numerical, aside from the other teams name)

Those are our main goals at the moment, if any more arise i will post them.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer us!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amadeus01:
Just putting it in order.......

You want a "portabel" network, without wifi?

How?

If you got one hooked up on the internet then it is possible that the others get hooked in.

But thats only a short range solution.

A better way is that all tablets has a seperate internetconnection and work out from there.

And where do you want to use it for, just as a comsystem or to share files or both.?
[Google Chromecast] Mazz1916:
While trying to watch YouTube it randomly stops dead. If I tap a spot on the time line the video quickly starts again. I've had this thing about 5 hours and it is seriously getting on my nerves. Add to the fact that the chrome browser isn't mirroring I'm about to smash this thing to bits. Any help!?

Netflix seems to work flawlessly.

I've tried improving network connection but that hasn't helped.

YouTube has this issue even when played from the browser on pc.
[Google Chromecast] vishalraop:
Exact same problem on my chromecast and is happening only since last evening. As you said, Netflix is flawless and its only With YouTube.

Thank god its not the device but seems like software or YouTube server support for chromecast. Hope it will get a fix pretty soon
[Google Chromecast] SeanBear:
This started happening to me last night. Youtube will freeze after about 2:20. It will start again if I skip forward or back, but only for another 2 mins. Have never had a problem before and Netflix works fine. I'm glad it's not just me.
[Google Chromecast] Mazz1916:
Are either of you able to cast your tabs to your TV screen? Because I am also unable to get that to work from my pc to the Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] guy4jesuschrist:
I had the same exact issue last night when watching YouTube. It would stop dead, and the only way it would start back, was when I tap the stopped point on the timeline as well.
[Google Chromecast] vishalraop:
Even casting the chrome browser tab had issues.... but after a while it worked... I am pretty sure even the chrome tab cast is lill messed up... Looks like the chromecast got a software upgrade which is causing these issues....

Does anyone know if there was a software upgrade yesterday?
[Google Chromecast] Mazz1916:
Update:

I just exchanged the unit I had for another one but unfortunately I'm having the same issues. The unit itself force updates on startup which is a shame. It would be nice to do a revert and see if the old software functions correctly.
[Google Chromecast] ibgibson:
Youtube freezing

Same problem with me. I have two Chromecasts and Youtube stops on both of them roughly every 2.5 minutes, from both a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 7. On 14th November around noon ET they were fine, but by the evening the problems had started. My Youtube app is showing as having updated on 14th Nov (although it's not showing up in the 'Recently updated' section in the Play app). Rebooting the Chromecasts, the android devices and the network all failed to eliminate the problem.
[Google Chromecast] smilyduck:

Since CCast relies on Chrome for the most part perhaps this is a bug in chrome they haven't found yet?
[Google Chromecast] nook'r:
Well, I am having similar problems:

1- I got black screen after pressing on the CC icon from youtube

2- Black screen from the Chrome browser when casting an mp4 video or a tab

3- Youtube gets stuck on loading circle, I have to replay the clip over and over until it works

4- this is the worst - video can not play on this device!!!!!!

seriously?!!! its the same clip that i played few days ago from my playlist

rebooting, resetting the device or reinstalling the apk doesn't help

v13xxx didnt have none of this problems but with the new update v14xxx i am hesitate to play anything as i dont have time for more agrevations with a loyal device for the last few months.

Google, you needs to get your act together, its not about the amount of load of apps that are compatible with your CC is about how well they play on your Cast.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
YouTube seems to be getting bi-weekly updates at this point, probably to address Chromecast-related issues.

If you have automatic update turned on, I recommend turning it off and stick with the version you know works until the dust settles.
[Google Chromecast] quicksilver1024:
I'm getting the same issues. I don't think this is a Youtube problem, rather a problem with the unit itself since other Chromecast apps are doing this too.
[Google Chromecast] kapustowicz:
I have the same problem. It affects YOUTUBE (no matter if if play it from Nexus 5, other android rooted or stock, or laptop PC).

It always start and restart the Chromcast. It doesn`t affect all youtube casts, but all with official music video. No matter if material is runing with full HD or lower resolution, but I suppose it happened always when the chromecast automatically change resolution to higher.

My question is, what HDMI standard you have in your TV display?

I have Samsung LE46A756 - It support only HDMI 1.3c.

Could it be related to DHCP, maybe Chromecast restart to protect HDCP content.

Everything work fine when I connect Chromecast to Samsung C27B750X! This is evidently associated with the display!, not with power source, chromecast device, router/network settings, region.

Chromecast with Eureka ROM 14975.002, but problem has started since November.

I m looking to buy a tablet, but torn between the two. I play with both device in Best Buy, they both look awesome. I do like the LG for the bigger screen, thin design, look good, and sd card, read about it people stating battery is not very good about 6-7 hours, and dpi is only 273. I like Nexus cuz it come with google pure 4.3 and 4.4 is coming, no bloat ware, the screen is nicer brighter, 323dpi, but smaller screen, one thing I don't like cuz it doesn't have sd card expansion, and heard GPS is a problem. LG 16gb/w microsd slot for $349. And Nexus 32Gb/no slot for $269. Which one is the right one to buy here......Or Nexus 8 rumor coming....

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opasha:
Agreed. I love mine. It's rooted, sat at 100% since this afternoon 12, and it's 12:45 am right now, and still sitting at 100%. So, the idle battery doesn't even die much unless you're letting useless programs run. I use Advanced Task Killer. Have always used it for my Note 1, Note 2, Note 3, and now my LG G Pad. Works wonders and keeps battery levels great. Just make sure you don't kill any random apps that keep opening up. Also, it's good to freeze useless apps with Titanium if you're rooted. It's super smooth. I've had zero issues with it.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyline23:
I had the '13 Nexus 7, and while it's a great device (love wireless charging) I found the screen size too small.

I absolutely love the G Pad. I think the 8.3 screen is just about perfect, and the the LG stock rom is very good.

Unlike some people, the battery life has been exceptional for me, and the brightness doesn't bother me much since I usually use the device in bed to read.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erwaso:
I was set on getting the 32gb nexus 7 but then the best buy pre-order popped up for the G Pad. The added screen size, overall design/ build and expand doable memory moved me this way. Loving this thing.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilhunter101:
I went through 3 32gb 2013 Nexus 7s. They each had the multi-touch bug, even after the last 4.3 update (JSS15Q?). They were beyond unusable. Couldn't play games, couldn't use Google Maps, could barely use Chrome. I won't be trying any other Asus made Nexus devices for a while, it's clear they cut too many corners trying to keep costs down. I'm probably going to get a G Pad 8.3 but I'm waiting to see if any development is going to come to it. Been a bit slow so far.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] accordex:
I have a nexus flo and a g2...love my g2 ...nexus is plain and dull..screen is great but the stock os takes zero advantage of it, and some apps look worse then they do on my g2...

The nexus will get more updates but I find stripped android to be boring unless you have custom roms with Mods. The G Pad will have little to no updates so you get what you get. Still excited!

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russellmania:
I know this isn't what some will want to hear since this is the G Pad forum after all, but I had the G Pad for about a week. It wasn't a bad tablet, but I returned it to Best Buy and decided to wait for either hard evidence of a Nexus 8 or a good deal on a Nexus 7. I got the N7 32gb last week for $229 and haven't looked back. Even if an N8 was announced today I'd think long and hard about keeping the N7 assuming there'd be a significant price difference.

The N7 is as fast as I could want it to be. I wouldn't say it's noticeably slower than my Nexus 5. Where the N5 has pretty much zero lag, the N7 will lag occasionally, but that's the only difference. Otherwise it is buttery smooth. I was skeptical about whether or not the N7 would work for me b/c I thought the 7 inch screen would be too small, but after having it for a week, I'm totally satisfied with it. It's great for reading and browsing and even works well for comics. As for the bezels...I see people use this as a knock on the N7 and I used to think the same way, but after having the G Pad for a week I realized that you need to have some bezel if you want to be able to hold the thing comfortably. With the G Pad I kept accidentally touching the edge of the screen while trying to hold it and it was really irritating.

One of my biggest complaints about the G Pad was the dim screen -- seriously, it's ridiculously dim...by comparison I was able to read a book on the N7 at under 50% brightness with the sun coming in through a window behind me, whereas the G Pad was almost unusable in any conditions under 50% brightness. I also had the blue line which it seems to me every G Pad has. I know it's hard to notice, but I don't like that it appears when the thing heats up...speaks to possible greater quality control/reliability issues.

Anyway a summary of why I prefer the N7:

Better battery life observed (I get closer to 7 or 8 hours of screen time on the N7 where I got around 5-6 on the G Pad)

Brighter screen on the N7...like Waaaay brighter

More comfortable to hold, both b/c of the bezels and because of the grippy back -- found the G Pad to be too slippery

Stock android (got Kit Kat already)

I have had no issues at all with the N7...I know some have touchscreen issues but mine has worked flawlessly.

B/c I have an N4 and N5 in the household I am getting wireless chargers for all 3 devices.

The G Pad is not bad and I would probably say if you absolutely positively must have 8+ inches then you should get it if you can find a deal, but if I was holding out for that particular size still I would wait to see exactly what the LG V510 is first (i believe it is a Nexus 8, but don't think it is necessarily imminent). For me, the 7 inch screen is working out just fine, so if you think you'd be satisfied with that size then I would say get a Nexus 7.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x000x:
i've been spoiled on 10 inch tablets and its hard to 'upgrade' to a new 7 inch one. 8.3 seems like a compromise, still small but not too small as a 7. hopefully that rumor would be true. it looks like the specs are near identical to the gpad though, maybe google will just rebrand the gpad as a nexus?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woody1:
The V510 could be a Nexus 8 or it could be a G Pad LTE. Either is possible.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x000x:

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russellmania:
for me, 7 and 10 inches are almost not even comparable. I have a 10 inch tablet, and specifically wanted something smaller so it was easier to hold while reading and such. The 7 is filling that niche nicely for me.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutsonfire:
G pad has been in the drawer for a while now. Nexus 7 is just so much better to use for me. G pad screen is too dark, sound is crap and it feels like it weighs twice as much as the Nexus. Yes for some things it might be better than the Nexus, but the Nexus is so nice to use overall.

Probably sell it or give it to my mom next time I visit her.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caudex:
It doesn't weigh twice as much, LOL! Either that or somehow LG got away with advertising it at 338g.

Nexus 7

Wi-Fi only: 290 g (10 oz)

Cellular model: 299 g (10.5 oz)

LG G Pad 8.3

Wi-Fi only: 338 g (12 oz)

Also if you base it on Sound, hmmmm no tablet speakers will satisfy audiophilles.

I personally find 8" to be the perfect size. For watching video the Nexus is better due to the aspect ratio, however for everything else the 8" is better.

Also the reason why the battery on the Nexus is better is because it uses a underclocked CPU, just get SetCPU and underclock the LG G Pad...... will achieve similar results. You can see the speed comparisons online, LG G Pad scores around 25% faster.

I don't find it too dark when its on the brightest setting though. I don't see why people want any brighter, it causes horrible eye strain over long period of times.

Looks wise, I give it to LG G Pad, i find it stupid that the Nexus 7 has such a huge bezel for such a small screen lol. almost 1 inch to the top and bottom of the screen WTF.
