[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
You have to be using WiFi to see and control Chromecast. After it starts playing a selection it is NOT using your phone any more.

You are not streaming from your phone to Chromecast. Once you send the program you want to view to YouTube, Google Movie etc... the Chromecast gets the URL for the item and then plays the item using its own connection to the network the WiFi you set up for it.

You can turn off your phone and it will not have any effect on what is playing since it is not using your phone to play the item.

When you got a call, your WiFi on you Phone must have been turned off, but the Chromecast is playing the movie on its own and doesn't need you phone).

To talk back to the Chromecast from your phone you have to have WiFi turned back on, and then send another program to the Chromecast.

You might look into a beta app called RemoteCast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benlc.camcast

This will allow you to control Chromecast when it is playing something even if the phone didn't start the playing.

Googles support team just wrote me back saying this, I will try this the next time I cast from my device :

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Google. It was my pleasure speaking with you about your Chromecast device. With the issues that happened while watching the movie on Google Play, I have a quick question. Do you have battery saving mode on your phone? If so, please disable the battery saving mode.

The Battery Saver feature can be found under Apps > Settings > General Tab > Battery

Which ROM overall do you prefer? CyanogenMod or Paranoid Android? I'm currently running cm-10.2-20131129-NIGHTLY-d800.zip on my LG G2 which is 4.3 but Paranoid has pa_g2-4.0-ALPHA-20131123B-d800.zip AOSPA 4.0+ PARANOID ANDROID Kitkat 4.4 KRT16S android-4.4_r1.2 out now. Which of the 2 ROM teams have been better in the long run for people?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimi Mack:
To be honest they both have their pluses and minuses, I would try both and decide which you prefer. Each person will like or dislike a Rom for their own reasons, so why not just find out which you prefer by using both, instead of someone else telling you which to use. At worse, it is a couple hours of your time on each before you should be able to figure which works best for you.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:
While I agree that it us a personal choice in most cases, in this case OP is also looking for feedback on technical information and facts such as bugs, working vs not working features, and overall operability of that specific rom.

One might be best for someone in terms of a specific feature but if it has battery drain problem or if camera is upside down, for example, it won't mean much, and we shouldn't expect him to waste his time finding out about these things just so he can make his own decision.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimi Mack:
That is the continued issue with both, they both have issues as mentioned. Neither has released a Stable version as of yet. I would suggest reading both forums on each Rom and they are detailed on the bugs and some methods of resolving them and pick one you can deal with on a daily basis till they are worked out.

The verizon g2 has an unofficial cm11 build which has everything working. I ran it for a few days and didn't encounter any bad issues. Some people reported random reboots but where very minimal and I didn't get any. Google wallet worked fine. I haven't tried PA because I haven't seen one for Verizon's g2 so I can't comment on that.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Both devs work hard to squash any bugs. Like said neither have a stable release yet. So bugs are present in both.

Personally I use stock with Xposed. Xposed gives you tons of tweaks and options normally found in custom roms. The stock rom has plenty of useful additions too.

If and when I flash, I'll be using AOKP.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
I have tried both, but I don't really miss too many of the features from CM. (I used to run CM 10.2) One thing i can say for sure I love about ParanoidAndroid, is that they have removed the annoying noise cancellation, that has been there in any other rom i have tested. Now when i record video i do not get any annoying watery sounds. Brilliant! But if a modder makes a mod that will disable the noise cancelling microphone and it will be compatible with any rom, then I would probably lean more towards CM.

I have bought the premium version the HD for tablet and no matter what device or Internet connection you have the app sucks. It is slow, constantly connecting to server, skips all around when scrolling through forums behaves oddly and just crashes every so often.

How can the site with arguably the best collection of devs, modders, hackers, designers and tech enthusiasts have such a low quality app? I'm assuming it is still based off tapatalk? As I don't use that app is it to blame for performance issues I'm genuinely just curious?

I did assume really stupid. I attempted to flash an ace 2 rom. And not my phone has no network connection. No baseband, no imei, no network, no number. When I dial *228. Hey no mobile network connected. I tried resetting, flashing to stock, flashing.modem bin and called metro pcs. The lady told me to go to a shop but I'm afraid they will refuse to work on my phone since device status says custom.. help please! I need my phone
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mattiawhite:
i have difdent device, i8190, but i have sucessfuly unbricked mine.

flas stock for your model from odin as pda, select wipe all, repartition sd if needed...reboot, takes reall long time, but it boots and all is fine,

does tringle away suport your device?

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

have you rebooted phone again? after modem flashing i always have to reboot 2x to have it working
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Exothermic:
Flash Phil's recovery, and go to Wipe data/factory and press the option that says flash to install a new rom. Then turn off phone, go to download mode and flash your respective stock firmware from tyson's thread. You may need to re-pit, but do validate that with someone else.

I think it should be noted that the t599 in canada is branded as Ace 2 e, so they are similar phones in fact when Unjust is developing he does use their repo so our phones are similar to both the Ace 2 and S3 mini.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SWisaiahAG:
didn't wok ...:( thanks for help though
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Exothermic:
Flash modem bin, then go into settings and manually find your network, then it works. I was in the same predicament a couple of days ago and fixed it like that. Get modem.bin off tyson's stock rom, and use heimdall to flash it (that's what i did) or flash it using terminal emulator and follow tyson's instructors, but where it says /sdcard/ make sure it's extSdCard (sdcard points to internal memory, and extSdCard points to external sd).
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SWisaiahAG:
will try, and keep you updated. .. but problem is when I click mobile networks it says no sim
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Exothermic:
Then chances are with the SIM card so try using a different sim card, or verify the sim card is working with a different phone. Try taking out and cleaning with a microfibre cloth.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SWisaiahAG:
when I took it to the metro pcs place they tried that...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SWisaiahAG:
have metropcs version btw.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Exothermic:
IMEI says unknown, which means you've flashed over efs partition, and if my memory serves me correct unless you have a backup of you own efs, then chances of recovery is extremely slim. Unless you made a nandroid backup prior to flashing, which in then case use that as backup.

Which Ace 2 rom did you flash, I'd like to take a look at it so I know which partitions it wrote over.

Um, try using Philz recovery and manually formating:

/system, /data, /preload, /cache /data and /data/media and try flashing CM. It's a small chance, but it might just work hopefully.

and im an idiot for not having a cwm backup ... I think I may have one on one of my flash drives .. but doubt it cause they take up a large amount of space....
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SWisaiahAG:
deleted.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Exothermic:
It doesn't seem to have directly accessed the efs partition (mmcblk0p11) but it did flash various stuff to the wrong blocks, for instance boot.img went to mmcblk0p15 which isn't defined as boot for us. I believe that writing to one of these blocks is what messed up the efs partition. My best guess is to find that CWM backup on your flash drive and try flashing that, if not you may want to consider sending it back (I'm not up to date on the policies of metropcs & Samsung but they may charge you because it voided warranty), so you may want to consider going to a local shop to get it repaired for cheaper.

i have the folder on my computer.. i assumed it was the problem and started to tweak it but all guides on xda require a nv. file which is here. i checked my mothers t599n which has is working . amd exact same files
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SWisaiahAG:
and this what it looks like [MENTION=5354456]Exothermic[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Exothermic:
Hypothetically speaking, efs files from another device can be used to flashed onto another device which in your case can fix your problem; however the phone will share the same IMEI which can lead to being kicked off the network (metropcs) as it is a duplicate IMEI, but in theory if you do manage to figure out a way to change the IMEI number to yours (which can be found on the phone box) then you'll be set completely. However it is illegal to modify a phone's IMEI number in numerous countries, and I'm presuming is so in your country and asking for help regarding that in xda is prohibited.

Could you also post the results of dialing *#06# (just verify that it's a 15 or so digit number, this is your IMEI, which means there's still a chance of recovery, if you get nothing or all 000 or 0094 you might need to send it for repair).
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SWisaiahAG:
it says null/null and im in usa . so idk if its legal here. and i have my original box
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SWisaiahAG:
never mind its illegal. im taking it in tomorrow for a "swap"
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
It's illegal to change IMEIs, your best chance at this point is to go to a local repair shop, it should be at the most $40. It seems like in order to fix it, the technician would use a JTAG wire (ethernet to microusb) and software that would delete the efs folder, download an empty one and fix the imei to that of the original, just a guess, as I'm not entirely sure how it's done with androids but I know its done similarly with nokia devices.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SWisaiahAG:
well, not my problem now. just got a new one for less than $20. I just recommend every backup always and to take extra precaution before flashing foreign ROMs.. thanks exothermic for help and im going to stay official til theres a fully functioning build out
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Aha, just remember to backup efs! Other then that, it'd be fine to flash the cm or pac that unjust built, I'm working on building cm10.2 but I'm learning as I go and limited on time so it'll take some time but hopefully by the end of the month there'll be a build!

[General Questions and Answers] NPOA556:
I am trying to understand Verizon's upgrade transfer rules in an effort to upgrade my wife's phone without losing my unlimited data. I have an old Samsung Fascinate that is eligible for an upgrade. I will not be using that upgrade because I want to buy a Moto X at full price to keep my unlimited data. My wife has a Samsung Captivate that is already on a 2GB/month data plan. Her phone has a cracked screen and now cannot make or receive calls, so we need to replace it. It is not eligible for an upgrade for another 5 months. I have heard about transferring upgrades between lines, but I don't know if I can transfer my upgrade to her without losing my unlimited data on my line? These are our first smartphones, and we don't have any experience with upgrades. Is my plan going to work, or am I missing something here?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob tobias:
course, the first time i created this thread, some hangup or another, i was forced to sign-in again, losing my post. so it goes. at least it's suits the general discord-difficulty i am experiencing over here...

at first, i burnt the linked 'generic-sdcard-v1.3-CM7-9-10-larger-Rev5.zip' file to my 2gb Apacer micro SD card, using gparted via linux. i then put the corresponding GAPPS file and the cm-10.1.3-encore file (having added 'update' to the front of the filename), w/out unzipping them. the NC did its thing, and auto-restarted, but when powering-on, it said it was missing some files. it seems to me that somewhere along the process, my NC is deleting/tampering with the files, and then upon restarting cannot locate them. can this be possible? sounds loony.

i am still not sure what the deal is - bad card, perhaps? in some of the other threads i have read, that seems to be the last/worst case scenario; if all else seems correct, probably a bad card.

partially by way of desparation, and partially by way of assuming i had a bad card, i got a class 10, 32gb sandisk sd card. after repeating the aforementioned step-by-step process, the NC refuses to recognize the bootloader, bypassing it entirely, straight into the default.

evidently, the .img file was burned correctly, as my terminal indicates the collection and storage of the file.

i tried over and over to rectify this issue, to no avail. i would be immensely grateful if you were able to help me out.

and thanks so much for spending (what seems like) an awful lot of time helping people out!

looking forward to getting this thing resolved.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I assume you are following my guide listed in my signature. You should now be using rev6 or 7 of the image since those versions have improved kernels to help with finicky cards, which I put that class 10 as. And you do not have to add update to the beginning anymore. The script that runs on boot does delete the zip files when it finishes. And if you read my NC Tips thread, item A10, you will see it is sometimes difficult to burn a card so that it will boot. There are tips there to improve the chances of it burning properly so it will boot.

After trying to install a custom recovery I have not been able to boot into my phone for about 4 hours now. During this time I have tried multiple times, using multiple methods and have found nothing to work.

My problem is when I try to boot up my device it wants to boot into recovery mode but it cant so it takes me right to download mode. In download mode I attempted multiple time to flash the default Samsung GS 4 .tar.md5 file and bring my device back to life but I get this error each time. (I've tried all my USB ports and still get the same error)

I cannot find any fixes to this problem and have resulted in additional help from these forums.

Additional Info: When I was flashing my custom recovery, it was to overwrite the one I had previously installed (Safestrap v3.5x) with (OUDHS Touch CWM-based Recovery 1.0.3.4 by Shabbypenguin) and thats when I got the issue. Also, when I'm taken into download mode there is an additional red text above the "ODIN MODE" text that says, "Could not do normal boot." I'm thinking that Safestrap was attempting to boot along with the CMW-based and the device cant choose, so I'm forced into Download Mode.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. This phone is only 2 days old so I'm somewhat aggravated.
