[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
yes it is like aVia in that the stream is completely dependent on the device that starts the stream.

It has to have a DLNA mode to get around that (My Dongle does) In that case you can send content to it in some cases without having to rely on the Device you used to send it.

This is the big innovation of CCast. It is sort of a happy balance between the Miracast model (direct stream) and Target based streaming methods (like DLNA).

Unfortunately for now Google has not seen fit to incorporate a pure DLNA player into the ROM.

If they ever do and have the CCast identify itself as a DLNA target when idle, it would complete the unit IMO.

Then you wouldn't be limited to playing content from apps that have specifically added CCast support, You could remote DLNA servers to send content directly as well.
[Google Chromecast] siratfus:
But with the tronsmart, isn't still dependent on what type of tablet you have? We have a Sony Tablet S that has no miracast or allshare cast option in the setting. Without this, isn't the dongle useless? Well, maybe not useless, but limited. Here's a reviewer that touched upon it on Amazon:

[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
yes Miracast is not fully supported by all units and Operating systems....

You need Windows8 to use it on a PC....

You need 4.2+ to use it on Android and even then it still needs to be baked into the ROm to work. I have 4.2 on my Xoom and no Miracast support.

This is why I say the CCast is better. Will work with any device provided the software you run supports it.

Changes the whole environment from a Hardware requirement to a Software requirement.
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
I don't have a MiraCast dongle, so I don't actually have any experience using one. But from everything that I've read/heard about MiraCast and Android TV dongles is you can pretty much mirror anything that's displayed on your device's screen, directly to the tv. By having this ability, one also has much more flexibility in what can be seen on their tv. For example, the Chromecast currently doesn't have any native support for WatchESPN, but with these other dongles, one could just open up the WatchESPN app on their phone/tablet or whatever, and then that could be easily displayed on their TV. Is this correct? If so, that's one big-time advantage that I see over the Chromecast...partly because I'm a sports fanatic and as of right now the Chromecast has NO support for any sports apps such as WatchESPN. That's the one app that I'm crossing my fingers on that eventually will make its way to the Chromecast in the (near) future.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
True, but downside is you're tied to the device being mirrored and you're using a bunch of network bandwidth because the video is going to your device then from there to the dongle. However, if the implementation is good then it can adapt by adjusting quality and/or framerate.

Sent from a device with no keyboard. Please forgive typos, they may not be my own.
[Google Chromecast] siratfus:
Still, as my previous post mentioned. Not all device fully support miracast. I would like to plug in the tronsmart dongle and mirror my Sony Tablet S, but it ain't gonna happen. The advertisements for these products really skimp over the important details. Almost misleading actually.

And in terms advantages... there are disadvantages as well. Mirroring should only be a last resort, especially for viewing unsupported streaming sites. When your device is mirroring, it can't do anything else. Your device is also doing all the processing work and battery draining. With Chromecast, your smartphone is not processing and is not wasting battery. You are free to play games, make phone calls, etc. But like I said, there are times when mirroring is necessary, like for unsupported streaming sites. Once Chromecast allows the option to mirror, it will truly be the one dongle to rule them all!
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I can only imagine how bad that ESPN feed would be when you have Miracast sucking down all that wireless bandwidth.
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
Everything you said is very true and it's just the "nature of the beast," that of Miracast mirroring, that is. It would be a very nice feature to have in some circumstances, but at the same time, I understand that in order to have such a luxury as "screen-mirroring," such that is available with the Miracast technology, one must also understand that there will be those drawbacks that you mentioned. Unfortunately, in this world that we live in, it's hard "to have your cake and eat it (too)." I sooooooo wish that there was such a fairly efficient way to effectively and natively(built into Android) mirror an Android device's screen to any "Chromecast-enabled" TV. Thank goodness for all the "super-brilliant" minds out there and especially for those with the present & future of Android development in mind because all of our "hopes and dreams" of such an efficient(Errrrrrrr...maybe I should say "more efficient?") screen-mirroring technology may not necessarily be all for naught. This future Chromecast potential that could one day "...truly be the one dongle to rule them all!" isn't even really all that far from coming to fruition because according to Koushik Dutta's findings just a few weeks ago, quoting directly from his Google+ stream, he said...

-Also, Richard Lawler from the long-standing & well-known tech news, reviews, and opinion outlet "Engadget" also elaborated on Mr. Dutta's findings in his column at the following link.... "Android 4.4.1 shows signs that mirroring to Chromecast is coming soon"

...Sooooooo, with that in mind, I trust Koushik's findings and I'm going to try to be somewhat optimistic about the future of this device...aside from the fact that it WILL add compatibility with more apps in the future, I'm specifically being hopeful of Chromecast gaining more types of functionality, aside from what we're used to seeing from its normal everyday usage. Who knows when that will be though? Hopefully, it'll be much sooner than later, but being that this is a Google product, I'm crossing my fingers, but I'm definitely not holding my breath! lol :good::good:
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Well we already know the device will do Mirroring as it does that with the Chrome Ext.

Just a matter of making an App to do it and getting it added to the Whitelist which is probably the only thing stopping Koush from implementing his CCast support back into All Cast.

Do you guys have pictures with the protector on? Any feedback would be appreciated :cowboy:

I just bought the steinheil spigen screen protector. Upon installation it feels smoother than naked. It feels great on touch. There's no oleophobic coating but i still think it's worth it.

I hate to start a new thread when I know someone is going to direct or blast me for writing this one but I'm just so exhausted trying and researching with so many similarities but seeing their problems perhaps not 100% nor their solution working for me.

I'm on a gs3 att i747. I upgraded to 4.3 via Samsung and was annoyed I lost my hotspot and probably region free unlock.

I attempted to use teamEpic as my initial rom. copied over, ran Odin and installed CWM-Recovery-LTE-Sg3-v5.tar.md5 (youtube videos from various places cited it worked for ATT model). It installed smoothly, I got CWR up, it 'seemed' to unzip and run the flash without problems, and when I rebooted, it would always go back to my original Samsung 4.3 update. I never saw the new superuser icon nor could I verify root access.

I then copied over liquid kit kat (huimeng.zip) & gapps but decided to move all these rom type of files into a new folder called root/custom_ROMS/. Once I tried flashing liquid kit kat, I ran into errors whereby it could not successfully install. I tried flashing teamEpic, still seems to install smoothly but when I reboot, it tries to boot up and then blinks back to CWR. At the moment I cannot get out of CWR.

With further research I decided to try the massive file root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5, and also got a more updated Odin v3.07. After getting my phone back to the download mode (vol Down + home + power.... then vol Up), I tried installing root66 but I keep getting error: "Complete(Write) operation failed"

I also tried to reinstall CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5 but bet the following error when trying to install again: "aboot.mbn".

Attempted root66 installation from 3 different cables, 2 different USB ports, still same error.

I'm so exhausted and frustrated the last 12 hours trying to figure this out on my own and could really appreciate some suggestions or threads to read up and try. I feel so useless without my phone as I travel a lot for work. I just need some form of region free and hotspottable droid phone. Getting me atleast in operation would be so awesome. Any help?? :crying:

I've been going over my data this month.

My android OS just hit 1.5gb. Its ridiculous. I turned off all google back up and any account sync.

I searched all through the internet for any solutions that may work but all fail.

Then i just did a test to find out what is causing the android os to raise.

I use my 4G and sometimes LTE depending on the area, while driving on my car listening to pandora.

So i'm skipping a few song on pandora, and what do you know. It raises at least 3mb per song skip.

Keep in mind, my phone is rooted, and has a few mod for unlimited skip for pandora.

But why does it use up all my android OS data when there is a separate section for pandora data?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaaliRaat:
I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,

BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.

Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,

it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.

So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.

Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you :D

Can someone please help me tweak the setting which makes the screen rotate from landscape to portrait when the screen gets slid back over the keyboard.

I have a hardware button mapped to rotate the screen. I often use the unit in landscape and when doing so I occasionally want access to the keyboard. So I slide the screen up, type whatever I want to type, then slide it back. It's very annoying that doing so forces the screen back to portrait.

The behaviour I want is this:

[When in portrait] sliding open causes rotation to landscape.

[When in landscape] sliding open changes nothing.

[When in landscape] sliding closed changes nothing (currently it causes rotation to portrait).

1 & 2 are the default behaviours. Is it possible to keep them and add 3?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wizzzard:
I think I have stumbled accross a solution to your problem.

I use VJOkButt from www.vijay.com mapped to the top right hardware button. This closes rather than minimses the currnet app when pressed. Anyway to achieve your option 3 all I do is Press the camera hardware button, this switches you to Landscape. If you click on the X to close the camera app the screen returns to portrait but if you press the hardware button mapped to VJOkButt the camera closes but the screen remains in landscape. Best of all opening or closing the keyboard does not change screen orientation. You can still manually change orientation back to Portrait from Settings>Screen. Soft reset will return to original functionality e.g. slide the keyboard to change orientation.

Hope this works for you.

I introduced a memory leak in 0.72 and tracked it down this lunch time. I haven't cabbed this up yet, because I'm still testing, but it should be more reliable (long term) then 0.72 which is available on my site at the moment.

Also one bug - I've made the window closing slightly too severe, so occassionally it will close a small dialog AND it's parent. This is only in isolated circumstances, but I'll fix this ASAP.

Hi there z1 owners, I have LBE installed on my phone with the exposed translation module, I use it manily to block certain apps from 3g connection.

LBE have many features one of them is battery saver, the app claims my battery have a capacity of 3500mAh and not 3000 like Sony advertised, is the app wrong or Sony didn't want to commit to 3500 due to different battery suplliers?

Is there any other way to see battery capacity?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Doesn't matter how much it is 4000, 3500 or 3000. Matter how long between the charges. Do you believe to the app or to Sony specifications? Are you here to speculating. Update to 4.3 and you will see the battery get better. I got 6 hours straight downloading, wifi, bluetooth, screen on and more. Consider also 5 inch LCD full HD. I think it's enough.

[Q] Similar working app for KitKat 4.4.2 like app "Hide Picture - Hide if Pro"

Hello everyone!

Does anybody know about app which is similar like app "Hide Picture - Hide if Pro", and it is working on KitKat 4.4.2 for SMS hiding?

The problem is that I have flashed new rom 4.4.2 KitKat and now feature for SMS hiding in app "Hide Picture - Hide if Pro" is not correctly working.

Before on 4.2 rom this feature worked fine, in the way that I assign private number for SMS, and this app would automatically without showing SMS collect it in put in her private folder. I would only get fake notification whit which I know that I have private SMS from somebody. So when I click on this fake notification I get fake screen in which I can control volume for my phone, but this is just a mask, so I have to long pres app logo on this screen and than I get new screen where I have to input my previous defined code for entering the app and now I can look who have send me SMS, what is the message and I can respond to the message. So in every moment my SMS conversation between this privata numbers are never show in default SMS app. Also with this feature for private SMS I can block this numbers which I define for private.

I have try GoSMS Pro and some others but no app is working 100%.

I would like to stay on this 4.4.2 KitKat rom but I need this app.

Does someone know about similar WORKING app with all previous explained features for 4.4.2 KitKat?
