[One (M7) General] RTIT:
That S4 belongs in the toilet :P I sold mine about 4 months ago and got the stealth black HTC One and as you have said its a great phone out of the box but there are also many nice things that you can do. For example you can flash a custom kernel to enable the HTC logo to act as unlock/lock button; I set mine to unlock if I double tap it and lock if I tap and hold, you can also set it to unlock when you swipe it etc...

You can also flash google edition ROM if you like the stock android look (even though sense is really nice too) and its much more stable than any aosp ROM out there and android kitkat will be released for google edition devices soon so if you want the latest android version just wait until its released and flash it!

And congratulations on your new phone, you are going to love it!
[One (M7) General] Visca Barca:
Thanks för sharing my friend, looking forward to exploring what i can do with this phone :)

What rom and kernel have you installed in your phone? Just curious :)

I want put LiteGX v5.2.0 on XXEMG4 4.1.2 fm, is it possible.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
It's explained in some of the guides or in selected kernel threads.

A custom kernel you can flash via a custom recovery.
[Google Chromecast] Galahad_Knight:
So here's the thing...I've got an oldish HDTV and it does not support ARC audio.

So I can SEE the chromecast just fine, but no sound is going to be a problem.

I had the brilliant idea od getting a cheap 1x2 splitter, running one output to my TV and one to my sound system so that the two devices would be getting the same signal at the dame time and I just switch the input for my sound system to HDMI and it should broadcast sound just fine while the TV broadcasts the picture...right?

Wrong.

I don't know if it's the brand I used or the cheapness of it, but my chromecast would NOT work through that splitter. Even when the splitter had the input and output lights all lit up, supposedly sending signal, the video display was blank.

So, here's the thing: Is there anything available that can either split off just the audio to any other format (I have spare fiber optic port, I have spare RCA and component, I;ve got spare audio connectors aplenty), or failing that, a way to convert HDMI to Hd component or something that will work with the chromecast?

I know there's HDMI to component converters out there, but I'm guessing the chromecast needs some kind of return signal from the TV in order to operate, which is why it didn't work with my splitter maybe?

ANyway, if ayone has a good workaround i;d be much obliged. I want chromecast but I'm obviously not going to buy a new TV just to make a $35 device work
[Google Chromecast] ralphwiggum1:
ARC is something else. Your HDMI TV will play audio from an HDMI device. Same with your receiver (unless its an HDMI pass through). You don't need any splitters or anything if your TV has HDMI.
[Google Chromecast] death2all110:
Make sure the TV sees it as being HDMI and not DVI. The TV should tell you what kind of video signal its receiving.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
As the others have said, your TV should be getting the audio from the Chromecast HDMI. For testing, switch your TV speakers on - you should hear the audio.

My (older) Sony TV doesn't support ARC either, but it has optical audio out, so I run that to my sound bar and it works fine.
[Google Chromecast] Galahad_Knight:
Whoops. Yeah, it looks like the reason I wasn't getting audio is my TV was set to external amp, I had to turn the built in speakers on in order to get sound.

Now, however, I can only get sound from the tinny onboard speakers and not the big thumping 5.1

Now to figure out how to fix that...
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Your TV doesn't have an audio output? Either analog (sometimes labeled "variable out" if it's controlled by the TV volume control) or a digital out?

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

BTW many HDMI splitters aren't HDCP compliant, and those tend not to work for non-computer sources because the HDCP handshake doesn't happen.

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------

And yes, something like a (genuine - beware of fakes) HDfury2 or newer will turn a spare VGA or component input into an HDMI input and split out the audio, but I'm pretty sure you can achieve what you want without adding extra conversion.

What make/ model are your TV and sound system?
[Google Chromecast] scoppola:
Can't you plug the CC into an HDMI input on your receiver, as you would any other input device?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Agree, technically that's how mine is connected. My sound bar has 3 inputs and its HDMI output goes to my TV, then the optical output from the TV goes back to the sound bar input (since my TV doesn't support ARC).
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Okay... I looked at your TV's spec sheet and your sound system's manual.

Your TV has three HDMI inputs, two on the back, one on the side.

Your combo sound system/BD player has a single HDMI output, which is how your BD/DVD disc playback gets picture on the TV, and two TOSlink optical digital audio inputs.

Your cable box is connected to the TV via Component video (red/green/blue) connection to the TV, and TOSlink audio (optical) connection to one of your sound system's inputs.

Since your TV doesn't support ARC, it can't send decoded audio back "up" the HDMI connection to the sound system, so we need to use a another connection to get the decoded audio output from your TV back to the sound system.

Close, but you want one that converts the other way, from SPDIF coax to TOSlink optical.

Your TV will "break out" the audio from the Chromecast connection and output it on the SPDIF coax connection, it'll go through the converter (don't worry about delay, it's just a signal medium conversion, not an re-encode) to your sound system's TOSlink optical input, and you should hear audio, assuming your sound system is set to the correct input. :)
[Google Chromecast] Galahad_Knight:
Woot! you're a lifesaver, man. Have all the +1s ;)

I'm gonna snag that up now and report my results.

After my failed splitter experiment this should put me at about $50 worth of cables and doodads to support a $35 dongle ;)

That'll teach me not to come here first.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
:) Haha if it makes you feel any better, I have about $250 of gear to get Chromecast on a 20-inch SD tube TV. Half of it was already stuff I had though.

Still HBO Go and AllCast/AirCast make it quite useful.

Much easier than transcoding stuff and pushing it back to the TiVo hooked up to that TV.
[Google Chromecast] Galahad_Knight:
LOL, wow, after a certain point it'd almost be cheaper to grab a new TV, or at least a decent pawn shop model ;)

But of course, it's the principle of the matter. A new TV would be admitting defeat :P
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
:) Very true (and what I advise others to do - unless you have a very special display or circumstances, much cheaper to upgrade to something better), in my case I have other uses for the new gear once this invincible tube finally retires, heh. Plus I'm a "learn by doing" kind of person...
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Just curious as to what you ended up doing. :)
[Google Chromecast] Galahad_Knight:
Whoops! Sorry I forgot to get back about my results...I was too distracted watching chromecast in glorious 5.1 ;)

That converter worked exactly to spec. All I have to do is cast a video and my TV automatically switches video inputs, then I just tap the autio input button on my sound system remote ocne and it pops over to the second toslink port and it comes right out.

Only hitch is that it takes a second for the audio to switch over so I have to pause the video once I cast it.

And the second the video ends and there's no active output from the chromecast the audi immediately switches back to the cable box, but hey at least it works!
[Google Chromecast] Galahad_Knight:
For the record, I solved the audio switching problem. It was super frustrating because every time I paused it would switch back to the cable box audio and it always took a second or two to come back.

Problem? Had my TV plugged into the wrong Toslink port. Port 1 is the default TV input. For the longest time all we had plugged into it was the cable box so it was in one.

Switched the TV to one and cable box to two and blammo!

I chromecast something and the TV automatically switches to the HDMI port for the dongle and the audio automatically switches over to the input from the TV! Perfection.

Then all I have to do is manually switch inputs back to component for video and digital 2 for audio and i'm back to watching cable
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Great! I love when a plan comes together!!
[Google Chromecast] sa1tine:
the chromecast is an amazing device so far. i can easily watch speed runs from it. picture quality is great. my phone feeds better than my lappy for sure.
[Google Chromecast] Galahad_Knight:
I noticed that too, it;s weird! But if I'm casting something from a tab I pretty much have to use the laptop.

Protip: I found out that chrome will open mp4s in-browser so if you want to play a local video just C&P the file location into your chrome browser and cast away!
[Google Chromecast] sa1tine:
yeah that is what i am going to test next. if it works really well i will most likely dump xbmc. best 35$ spent. i cannot wait for the sdk to be opened up and see what comes out. i am thinking the connection will be better since i will be streaming from my media server which is a wired connection and not a wifi. really excited.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] cshields1:
My K-Jam / MDA Vario is two hours old but damn, she's fine ! I see about the speed thing but it's not that obtrusive. I understand the WM 5 thing about loading the programs from ROM into RAM to execute but I have questions later.Given the other integrated features I like, fine compromise. Now on to the topic at hand:

Bought this unit from importgsm.com for US$589.99 (sweet). It's T-Mobile MDA Vario from Germany so all manuals, CDs, etc are in German. Not too worry, lot's of English PDF manuals, start up docs on the web. Have done my first AS 4.1 sync, no problems. Installed a few programs so far, no problems.

Had to checked for EDGE in Austin, TX so set up an APN connection of internet3.voicestream.com and times connect speeds at 81.6Kbps (10KBps) using www.texan.com/speed.htm. This seems higher than my GPRS connect specs I had recorded on my XDA II at 45Kbps - 52Kbps.

Questions:

A Qtek ROM/Radio was loaded on this unit even though it's TMO. ImportGSM customer service says it's a better ROM at the moment for Wizard units that they stock. The i-mates are hard to come by he said.

1) How do I check that the speed slow down items, I've read about (virus scanner, etc) are installed and/or running? Then, naturally, how to eliminate them.

2) Here's my ROM/Radio specs for Qtek:

ROM: 1.1.7.5 dated 9/22/05

Radio: 1.1.10.0

Protocol: 4.0.13.16

ExtROM: 1.1.7.105

Given that, what's the XDA communities recommedation on upgrading ROM/Radio? Is this an "old" ROM/Radio"? Should I wait longer to upgrade? Should I go with i-mate's latest, do a Qtek upgrade, use TMO ... ??? Thoughts gentlemen?

I'm comfortable with EXE upgrades but not RAR upgrades but could, in a pinch, do it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keltik3030:
At work I listen to music on my nexus 5 with my headphones. When someone calls and I answer I can hear them through my headphones no problem, but they can't hear me.. Its almost as if connecting my headphones to the N5 mutes my mic.

Is there a setting I'm missing here? I thought the N5 may be thinking my headphones are a headset and disabling the mic but my other nexus phones had no problem with this.. I could recieve a call with my headphones and the phone mic would pick up my voice and as soon as the call is finished my music would begin playing again.. My N5 isn't doing this.

Any advice guys?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uh60james:
Are they cheap headphones? Like ebay special or something? Probably has the wrong connector and your phone thinks they have a mic.

I am looking for a SU binary that has password protection. Does it exist? Can someone compile that into the SU binary?

Just a simple text file like /data/system/passwd ?

If not set it will not ask (like now)

I you want to set it use /system/xbin/su --setpwd ***** where ***** is the password stored in /data/system/passwd (rw-rw---- root.root)

Only factory reset will clear it.

Then if password is set then /system/xbin/su will ask for a password in the shell.

Just my 2 cents.

Thx.
[General Questions and Answers] tweakradje:
You can detect if su request is from the shell? Then only ask for password if request is from the shell.

Else SuperUser.apk is not compatible? Or devs like Chainfire needs to change that too.
