[Google Chromecast] cejack:
ChromeCast and Merlin firmware

My setup was working for a while - but after about a week or so, the setup above seemed to totally dog out my Internet connection and it was definitely something in the router as I was getting 30+ mbps download and 10-20 mbps upload which is consistent with what my ISP says they are providing to me. (Tested by hooking up my Ubuntu laptop directly to the cable modem.)

I literally couldn't run Chromecast with Netflix. Not sure why the router got so bogged down after a few weeks. So I hooked up the standard Asus firmware - this worked fine for providing Internet access at fully subscribed speeds - but now the Chromecast won't work with the most recent firmware that Asus has for the RT-AC66U. Tried IGMP snooping and it doesn't seem to matter.

I see there is a third Beta revision of the Merlin firmware - presently. I'm going to try that version on my backup version of this router and see if that presents any problem or not with the Chromecast.

Wish there was a good troubleshooting guide for CC and this router. So many settings and very little information as to what works and what doesn't when using CC with the RT-AC66U router.
[Google Chromecast] cejack:
Haven't had my chromecast working for months with this router now. Kind of given up. Actually not sure how I even got it set up the first time.

Must have been sheer blind luck.

A lot easier just to hook up the laptop with display port or HDMI connection and stream to the TV.
[Google Chromecast] ermacwins:
Somewhat related but I have the N66U with Tomato FW and cc not connecting for some reason. Was fine on Merlin FW
[Google Chromecast] troycarpenter:
I have a RT-N66U running Merlin 374.41 build. My Chromecast was working fine until a recent Chromecast update to the 16664 firmware. Unfortunately, I did upgrade the router sometime in the same timeframe, so I don't know which is the ultimate problem. Also, I checked my "efficient multicast forwarding" setting mentioned in the OP, and it was not enabled. I will try that and see if that changes anything.

To be clear, the Chromecast seems to connect to the wireless network, but it looks like the protocol traffic is getting lost since none of the other Chromecast enabled devices on the network can see the Chromecast. To fix it, I've been having to do a factory reset on the Chromecast and go through the setup procedure every time I want to use the Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
IGMP Snooping allows/tells the router to analyze the IGMP group information of packets and handle them based on that.

This allows for more-intelligent multicast packet forwarding to specific ports rather than flooding all ports.

It's very much akin to how a network switch remembers which addresses are connected to each port and sends packets destined for that address only to that port whereas a network hub will send every incoming packet to all ports, quickly flooding available bandwidth.

Quick example case - say you have two pairs of devices communicating, A->B and C->D, all on 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) connection.

On a switch (assuming full switching fabric), A's traffic to B will only go to the port B is on. The same is true for C's traffic to D.

Thus, A->B traffic will have full 100 Mbps bandwidth and C->D traffic will have full 100 Mbps bandwidth (minus overhead, of course).

On a hub, A's traffic to B will still "clog the pipe" on all ports, the same with C's traffic to D.

Thus, instead of A->B having a full 100 Mbps and C->D having a full 100 Mbps, the combined traffic shares 100 Mbps.

If things are equally balanced, A->B gets 50 Mbps and C->D gets 50 Mbps, but in reality this is rarely the case.

You can also think of this like having a dynamically-created VLAN memberships for multicast traffic.

However, the potential downsides are decreased throughput and increased latency for other traffic since some processing time is required to snoop the packets. Also, if the multicast client does not properly register, or router/switch has a bug, the client might get entirely ignored and "miss" the multicast packets entirely. That's why one of the troubleshooting steps is to toggle IGMP Snooping (it's usually disabled by default, but sometimes not) to see if there is an inadvertent shunning going on.
[Google Chromecast] troycarpenter:
Ok, it looks like I needed to turn TKIP back on for the 2.4GHz network. Once I switched to AES+TKIP, the Chomecast shows up again on my mobile devices.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Interesting situation. I run AES-only but I've seen router "quirks" like this in the past.

On some old routers I had "creeping" configuration issues where after repeated configuration changes the router would eventually lose its mind and I had to reset the configuration and apply settings by hand again. Sometimes in the "lost its mind" configuration it would do very strange things.

Now would be a good time to back up your router configuration, just in case you have an issue like I had in the past.
[Google Chromecast] HeatMzr:
I have a chromecast running with rt-ac66u router with dd-wrt. if I forget which atm but the chromecast had issue with either tkip or aes. I changed it to the other and it now works flawlessly.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urilabob:
Model number: this is a little complex:it’s a Korean model, so the phone label is in Korean, which I don't read well. Under the battery it has:

20110225 (which I guess is the manufacturing date)

0015603 - not sure what this is

S/N: R1AB250493

Android version: 4.1.1

Baseband version: M200KRKC1

Build number: JR003E

(i.e. absolutely stock, unrooted, unlocked)

The phone works almost perfectly while I am in Korea. However it has intermittent touchscreen freezes when I visit a different country and use a local SIM card (so far, UK, China, Australia - I didn't have these problems when I visited Spain about a year ago, but there has been an OS upgrade since then). The freezes are only of the touch input - the screen displays fine if someone sends me a message, and the volume and on/off buttons work. But I can't tap the 'Power off' button, so the only way to shut down is to pull the battery. The freezes seem to occur when I'm in places where the voice signal might be poor. I wonder whether the cause might be the OS trying to access a cell mode that it physically doesn't have? Any suggestions on anything I might be able to do to avoid this? I'd be happy to just turn the cell function off when I'm in places where the problems occur, if I could find a way to do that.

Thanks for any help

Bob

It turns out that this was my misunderstanding. The problem was due to a faulty power supply that was injecting noise into the phone (and which I only use when travelling - one of those travel plug thingys with a usb output). The injected noise was causing the touchscreen capacitance sensing to misbehave (it would detect my finger _behind_ the phone, for example, at times). I assume that this would eventually cause it to crash when eventually the sensed values went out-of-range, hence the symptoms I observed. Since figuring this out about a week ago, I haven't had a subsequent crash.

Hi all, first post in a great forum,

Just a quick question I couldn't find the answer to on here. Since rooting my g2 international when the alarm goes off I can't snooze or cancel the alarm with the smart case closed where I could before? Has anyone else found this and is there a way to turn it back on please?

[HTC One S] mikeinaus:
I've been flashing custom roms to my asus transformer for a couple years now so I'm fairly accustomed to the process. Now that my warranty has expired on my one s I decided to go custom to try and get a bit more battery life and performance from my phone.

steps I took:

unlocked bootloader successfully

installed twrp successfully

installed su and rooted successfully

changed to supercid successfully

S-off unsuccessful. I wasnt paying as much attention as I should have and for whatever reason I thought I had s-off

flashed maximushd rom

then attempted to flash the kernel for maximus obviously didnt work because I had s-on

then I was stuck at the point where my phone was basically a black screen and all I could do is get the buttons on the bottom of the screen to flash. Eventually I made it into the bootloader, twrp was gone or corrupted. Managed to reinstall twrp from fastboot and get it working.

within twrp I was able to push a rom into the internal sd and flash it (cant remember which one atm). phone restarted and was then stuck in a 30ish second bootloop of the htc quietly brilliant screen. tried a couple other roms which wouldnt flash. at this point I went home (i dont have a computer at my house, just android based tablet and xbmc box).

At home I got the idea the roms i'm trying to flash might not be compatible with hboot 2.15. I downloaded and tried older roms that would match my hboot of 2.15. Varying success on these but still unable to boot to phone os.

Here is what ive tried and what results i had with them:

zenrom_v1.05_2.31RUUbased.zip = Wont flash just gives failed message

Toasted_marshmellow-ville.zip = This one flashed, reboot phone goes past htc screen to the custom boot.img then endlessly replays the .gif (highly disaapointed at this point)

mdob_ville_bm_deodex_2.40.zip = phone stays off and can only get lights to flash if i hold power

Blackout_ics_sense_plus_RC2.zip = phone hangs on white htc screen

Anyone got any idea where I can go from here? Am i hooped or am I just missing something obvious?
[HTC One S] jeevan000:
u need to re install your stock firmware again...
[HTC One S] mikeinaus:
any idea where i can get it?

do i flash that just like a rom or is it a ruu?

I tried to install my stock ruu but it kept throwing back an error. it couldnt even tell what verson my phone was when i attempted it.
[HTC One S] Insecret:
I read that you have supercid, you can download this RUU
[HTC One S] mikeinaus:
Ended up bringing my phone to a shop which fixed it and installed a new power button as my old one was shot for $65. One thing he did which pissed me off though is install cm 10.1 instead of maximushd like i asked him. not that big of a deal but my signal is horrible now. with stock I used to get 2-3 bars in my rom now im lucky to get 1, and infront of my house where i constantly had full sigal i'm lucky to get 2 or 3 with drops of no signal and dropped calls. Is this because of the rom or the radio? Tried the ota update to 10.2 which freezes the phone on startup, then had to go back and get him to reflash the rom again. its a 10min walk each way and I'm tired of walking back and forth in the rain!
[HTC One S] foxtrot_lima:
Are you still s-off?

You don't need to be s-off to install custom rom's like cyanogenmod but you will need to flash boot.img after the rom is flashed.
[HTC One S] mikeinaus:
Nah I'm s-on. I don't have a PC so not going to bother flashing a diff ROM because of the boot.IMG. I'm thinking my problem was because I never v flashed boot.IMG last time. Never had to do that before. Is it just an HTC thing?
[HTC One S] foxtrot_lima:
Yeah it's because s-on and it's HTC only.

Built in Contrast adjustment

I know there is a built in Contrast adjustment program in WM5. After doing some some registry tweak testing...basically me changing registry settings without any direction, I must have stumbled on something that activated a Contrast program icon.

When I ran it, there was a slider for screen contrast. I continued some more registry tweaks, but restored an old registry and lost the new Program Icon.

I don't know what registry setting it was that activated this, so if anyone knows how to activate it, please let us know!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
Re: Built in Contrast adjustment

our screen driver (or maybe hardware) does not support contrast changing, so this is useless. Only backlight brightness can be changed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rokujuuyon:
I've discovered a registry key that seems to have _some_ control over not contrast, but gamma. You might be able to use it to get some results. Its located in HKLM/System/GDI/Gamma and it is a DWord called "Gamma Value"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cr2:
Re: Built in Contrast adjustment

There is no hardware contrast support on himalaya, blueangel and universal, only the

brightness control via PWM duty period.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Morningstar:
I'm not sure if it works on other devices, but on a Wizard, you can go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Contrast and delete the redirect key (if there is one) and create a new dword value named Group with value 0 and it will put a Contrast icon in Settings that has an adjustable slider....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jussi77:
works...

registry tweak brings contrast setting to control panel but that does nothing (since contrasting is not supported)
[Omni Q&A] mouzzi:
Hi

I've been using the Omni roms since about 26th Dec 2013 and updating every few days without any issues.

Today I updated and I cant make calls/ its showing as not connected to a network. When I look in the about phone section it says baseband:unknown. If I restore my original samsung image I don't have any problems, sms/calls/mobiledata work normally.

There is a mention on the main page about a baseband issue, I'm assuming this is what I am experiencing. I've tried to run the commands as per the first page but I keep getting errors.

Commands are -

adb reboot && adb wait-for-device && adb root && sleep 2 && adb shell cat /proc/kmsg | tee kmsg_baseband.log

adb reboot && adb wait-for-device && sleep 2 && adb logcat | tee logcat_baseband.log

I've downloaded fastboot adb and am running these commands via windows cmd. I'm getting an error such as "unknown command, sleep not supported" something like that..

Can someone please help me run these commands and/or assist in fixing this issue.

Cheers

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
Hey, guys! I originally hail from the Nexus 5 forum. However, I've received tremendous response to my Nexus 5 BIOS boot animation that I decided to go ahead and throw in support for the Nexus 7 2013! However, I don't have a Nexus 7 (old OR new) to test on, so I was hoping that's where you would come in. Also, I tried to get most of the parts right, however, I couldn't find some of them, so if you know what I missed, please let me know!

Testing seemed to go very well (here and elsewhere I asked for it), so I went ahead and published the official Nexus 7 2013 update! It will be available at the app store page linked below. :)

Download:

Here!

Or in the Play Store as "[Root] BIOS Boot for Nexus"!

Please, let me know if it works and if not, what broke. I would sincerely appreciate it!

looks nice...but why don`t u just make a flashable zip for this bootanimation?The path for bootanimation is /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Or simply just give us the zip conaining the bootanimation.We can copy/paste it to the right location and set the permissions.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] spartacus279:
Loving this so far , thanks for porting this over amazing job!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
The main reason is that different devices boot up differently. Over in the Nexus 5 thread, I was getting lots of requests to speed up or slow down the animation, and it just got old maintaining that many different versions. I had the idea of letting the users pick their FPS, but that requires an app like this.

My secondary reasons are that A) I'd never done an app before and wanted an excuse to develop one, and B) I can include all the Nexus animations in one app and put it on the Play Store. It's actually already on there, and once I get the all clear from more N7 users, I'm going to update it and post the link here (keeping the free version up), just in case anyone wants to support me.

Wouldn't the structure of it be better having the main frames in the part0 folder, and then having just the looping frames with the "Initialisation finished. Starting apps" with a blinking cursor? I've attached a .zip file with what I mean and what I'm using. This way I don't have to try different fps settings to try and match my devices loading time, and it will just sit on the last part with a blinking cursor until the device starts instead.

The .zip I've attached, I've set it to 10fps in the desc.txt file, and I don't have to worry about it playing faster than my device boot as the thing that changes in the frames in the part1 folder is the blinking cursor.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] melander:
nice modification, just noticed though that yours show a 16gb, hopefully OP can change the app to follow this structure.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Harrysoon:
I can easily get a 32gb one of the same structure put together in a .zip folder for anyone. I just think it would make it a bit easier as everyone's device boots up faster/slower than others, and having a structure like I made means people don't need to change the fps to keep the animation at the same speed their device is booting up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] BrianAllred:
I'm at work now, so I can't analyze what you did, but it sounds great. The one problem is if the animation is too slow, it won't even get to the cursor. Plus I've noticed that different people like different speeds. Some might like the cursor to blink for just a bit, some might want it to just jump straight to lock screen. I just like providing that option.

But I'll definitely check it out, thanks for contributing. :)
