[Google Chromecast] Louer Adun:
Do you not have OTA HD stations around where you live? I know its not as elegant as the Chromecast, but it should be available for free on your local NBC network.

Short of that, you will need to find a stream in the appropriate x264/AAC format..
[Google Chromecast] wptski:
YouTube is showing a live feed of the Olympic Games beginning at 12PM EST tomorrow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu0zLpbQQa8

EDIT:

Whatever it was which wasn't working when it was stated was removed by YouTube for violations.
[Google Chromecast] evilmrt:
Thats NBC main channel....which is not showing any live events, only tape-delayed highlights. And even then, many big events (like ice hockey) will not even be shown on there at all.

I would like to know if anyone found a solution yet.
[Google Chromecast] wptski:
Broadcasting live might be difficult because of the huge time zone difference. How many people are willing to watch a event after midnight?
[Google Chromecast] oppy:
Not a Chromecast solution, unfortunately, but the NBC Sports Live Extra app has quite a bit of live content. It'd be nice to find a way to cast it.

EDIT: you can cast some live content from your PC via nbcolympics.com, but you do need to have an account with a participating cable supplier.
[Google Chromecast] wptski:
At http://www.nbcolympics.com/olympics-live-extra-schedule witch is dated the 7th much is shown to replay because it takes place in the AM. Some are listed as live. I did select on one but didn't follow through with selected my provider, etc. Not sure it an event already completed.

EDIT

Found today's schedule and what's live or not, picked Luge, signed in to my U-Verse account and so far all I've seen is ads! I'm using IE but if happened to be using Chrome, you should be able to cast to the CC. After half dozen or so ads, I give up! :(
[Google Chromecast] oppy:
Yeah, it's not great. Can't do fullscreen unless you keep it that way on the computer. And the framerate is terrible - at least this morning.

VPN to Europe

I've had good results using tunnelbear (or your preferred VPN) and viewing coverage from european sites, such as BBC Sport. Both live and on-demand videos available. Surf there in your browser, then cast the tab to chromecast. Not perfect, but no commercials and/or pink-eye distractions!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urhaxable:
Installing roms via MultiROM does this effect performance at all? Would the rom run faster if installed normally?

Does the USB OTG read/write faster or slower than internal? Would roms have better or worse performance running off of a USB flash drive?

Also I see an option to share the kernel between roms, is there a way to do this with apps? So all apps installed are the same on all the roms, is this able to be implemented?

Thanks

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeokk:
Hi all

I'm considering changing from Z to Z1. Xperia Z have some design flaws, The biggest one is heat issue. The heat itself is OK but it will continuously melt back glass glue little by little, then the phone will start to leak, so dust and water will get in. Is this problem fixed on Z1?

Another big design flaw on Z is headphone and charging port caps are easily worned out. Magnetic charger and cap free headphone jack would be good.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiso:
The only I find getting on my nerves is design flaw is the non scratch proof shatter resistance film on top of shatter resistant dragontrail glass on screen. I know this can be sorted out with a screen protector but I'm no pro when it comes to that and I always have bubbles some where on the screen
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x102x96x:
bull****! (with all do respect!)

glue of xperia Z melt by phone heat !?!?!

it is funny!

40-60 degree of C can melt just ice! not that powerful glue on xperia devices.

(however Cnet test it under HOT chocolate and nothing happened! and also a Japanese lady put it in hot water!)

one more thing;

for example that glue start melting when it warm up

but after that it becomes cool, from 60C to 30C and it means glue will return to their standard condition. cause glue are elastic!

i had Xperia Z for 8-9 months for heavy gaming and it means almost of time hot.

nothing happened.

anyway if u wanna buy new phone w8 for MWC and then decide wht to buy ;)

:good:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallardo5:
Ive never owned xperia z but I wanted to buy it some time ago and i readed a lot about back glass comming out in xperia z because of the heat

Unfortunately, it really happens.

But you will never notice this flaw until you see dust in the camera or you put it in the water. You will see these issues on Z forum for sure.

But from what I've been reading from some of the other threads, only one sim seem to be working on the kimkat edition . Has any one verified the same on their device with kitkat . I'm getting mine in a few days :)
[Moto G General] OrionBG:
The problem with only one SIM working, was for the custom ROMs and the single SIM ROM when installed on the XT1033. This is an official update from Motorola so everything should be working.
[Moto G General] James Randi:

Hopefully you are correct. But AFAIK USB Otg stopped working OTB with Kitkat . It would be great if there was some kind of check list (what's working and what's not) for those who want to upgrade to Kitkat .

[Moto G General] iancjc:
I got one this week via mobicity uk - ordered it on Tuesday Jan 28th and it arrived on Monday 3rd Feb.

Glad I read the reviews after I'd ordered it (never used mobicity before!!!) but they were great, delivered ontime and for £200 - phone even came with a uk moto charger in the box (but no usb lead).

Very happy with the phone - I have 2 EE sims in it and its perfect - even with the dual sim I'm seeing 2 days of battery life (I often keep data to 2g as I have wifi at home and work).

hoping for kitkat, well maybe - I'm not sure its that big a deal to be honest as its excellent on 4.3

****** is that really my first post after 7 years???? I'm pretty sure I had another username when I was into modding various HTC windows mobile handsets years ago....
[HTC One X] adityavipradas:
The HTC One X seemed a good option that could cater all my needs. But much to my disappointment, the phone's display started to malfunction after 1 year and 3 months i.e. right after the phone warranty got expired(Google search 'Blank Screen of Death).

The phone display went blank all of a sudden. The HTC service center employees told me that there was a fault in the mother board itself and only replacing it can solve the problem.

Are the HTC mother boards so cheap that they die right after the warranty period?

He also told me that replacing the board might also harm the battery and I will have to replace that as well. Is the design of HTC one X so bad? I had to shell out half the amount of the actual phone price to get the board replaced. What is the use of buying such a high-end phone then?

I suspect that HTC itself tweaks the codes in order to make the phone malfunction after the warranty period. After this incident, I have made up my mind that I won't buy HTC products anymore and would encourage people to do the same.I beg HTC guys to please start developing good and DURABLE products. I have no idea whether they know what 'DURABLE' means. If the mother boards itself are so rubbish and cheap, what is the use of the famous NVIDIA Tegra 3 QUAD CORE processor, the 8MP camera, 1GB RAM and 25GB memory?

I would have purchased an entirely new phone from the money I spent on another of the HTC mother boards. I hope this works fine now. I have been given a warranty of 3 months on the new mother board. Now I just hope that the phone and all its parts work properly again. But there is one thing for sure: HTC, YOU HAVE BROKEN MY TRUST....Shame on you!..Hey, and kindly change your tagline...HTC, quietly destructive.
[HTC One X] khairulez:
Yeah..2 times i change motherboard..when i send to HTC service centre, they told me HOX really have problem with motherboard :(
[HTC One X] zute333:
did you get an account just to complain about your phone? the massive majority of hox's seem to be lasting, mine is better than ever really. rooting is wonderful for getting rid of kinks that start showing up after a while of usage, some hardware faults are actually fairly easy to fix on your own with google. theres no point judging a company cos you a few people had dodgy handsets, no company has a perfect handset, look at the iphone - has as many software faults, screen breaks and hardware issues than any other phone i've seen of the last couple of gens, if not more (imo), but doesnt mean that most of them aren't still good phones.

your last joke makes me think i may have just fed a troll
[HTC One X] sandm4n:
+1, IMHO overheating is maybe the reason why many of these handsets die out. T3 can run really hot if users don't take care and especially run demanding games while charging. That being said, you could also blame HTC(or any other company for that matter) for QC as people have ended up with faulty hardware out of the box but if you get a good piece then its a beauty which does last quite a time (1.5 yrs and still running strong for me :) )
[HTC One X] de4life:
The HOX motherboard is fine. It's a shame you've had a bad experience, OP, but you'll find that a lot of people on various phones have motherboard issues. These pieces of equipment are delicate and get heated, unfortunately some problems are bound to occur. There's no evidence to suggest the HOX motherboard is any more or less durable than other phones. I've had mine for close to two years now and it's still working just fine.
[HTC One X] intel007:
I would say it's not HTC mainboards that are the issue but the nvidia chips themselves, I have had 3 GeForce pc video cards go bad in the past 2 years due to the chip heating then cooling and eventually causing the solder joints to crack, it's very common with nvidia chips.

I have repaired these bad cards by heating the chip with an iron to heat the solder, check YouTube for videos.

Maybe the same tricks work on the tegra chip, maybe the heat up and cool down is stressing the solder joints causing the failure.

By the way I have had no issues till now with my 16 month old one x, hope that continues.
[HTC One X] Nubzori:
No problems here, I've had One X for 2 years. Sorry to see some people have problems
[HTC One X] anoniemouse:
Mine is ok after almost 2 years, only got rid of as i was fed up with HTC dropping support.

Got an S4 now.

If you live in the EU then you are covered by a statuatory 2 year warranty, as per EU law for all items sold, if not i am afraid it will cost you for the repair.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philwire:
Hi, I'm wondering if removing the rom's bootanimation.zip will help speedup the device in at least two ways:

Bootup, by not having to load the animation;

Overall usage, since the bootanimation.zip 's space will/should be freed on the phone's storage

is any of those scenarios bound to happen and help my device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
It will speed up the boot up process but that's it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
Booting up will be fast, but not anything else. You cannot get a performance boost by removing a few hundred KiB file. boot animation.zip doesn't make your phone slow/lag.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] panchito_d:
I bought my N7 (Flo) in early January and am loving it except for the random reboots. I did a factory restore and on the first boot got up to around 92hrs of uptime with about 50% battery usage before a crash. Subsequent boots aren't quite hitting that mark. As everyone knows it's hard to tell at exactly what intervals as it will crash while it is sleeping, not just in use.

Has switching to a custom kernel provided better stability for anyone?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] yosmokinman:
Yes. I can only speak for CM11 but flashing Glitch kernel completely stopped the reboots and also the random buzzing noise from the speakers.

I didn't try the kernel on stock (also had reboots) but go ahead it might work. Make a nandroid first.

I really thought the reboots were hardware related but after going through three devices, 16 and 32gb models and 06, 07 and 08 build dates, they all randomly rebooted. Glitch has solved it (again at least on CM11). I'm sure it's a software problem now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thisguysayswht:
So, here's my experience with this. I bought my first nexus 7.2, at a best buy in north Dallas, in October. I experienced random reboots, right out of the box, about once a day, usually when I was browsing chrome, or when the tablet was sitting on the home screen without being touched. My gf bought a nexus 7.2 as well, at the same store in November, and she was not experiencing any random reboots, hers has always been stock, to this day (my suspicions began). I figured it was a software, or app problem, and waited for a fix from Google, or my app developers. Tried various custom Roms in the meantime (cm11, dirty unicorns, silmrom, and many more). I also tried various kernel's, in combination with said Roms (Franco, ElementalX, glitch, bulletproof). I had random reboots with all combinations of Roms and kernels. Did a factory data reset after every update from Google, and tried it for a week or so every time. Still experienced random reboots. I finally got fed up and took my table back in early January, to the same best buy in north Dallas. After receiving my second tablet, I kept it stock for a week, and then restored my preferred twrp backup, that I had taken with the rebooting tablet ( stock 4.4 krt16s, xposed framework, ElementalX 2.2 @1.7 and 450, with the motoX dalvik and bionic patches). With the new tablet, I have not experienced one random reboot, either with the stock software, or the custom software.

So, long story short, if your experiencing random reboots, if you have the ability to, I would take it back. Maybe you can fix it with software enhancements, but IMO it just shouldn't do this, stock or otherwise, and warrants a return.

Whatever you choose to do, I hope it works out for you, the reboots were personally driving me crazy, and I'm glad my second tablet doesn't reboot like its got a mind of its own.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] panchito_d:
I also bought mine at a Best Buy but am a few weeks out of the return period. I'll give it a try and see if they'll take it back. I was really trying to avoid sending it to Asus. Thanks for your input.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] username4this:
I never had any random reboot issues however, it might have been due to having it running on CleanRom 2.6 and ElementalX Kernel since almost day 1. These two make the device so snappy I don't even care.

I have been using my XT926 for some months in the UK now and have to say its a brilliant phone. Since yesterday however i have been unable to sync anything related to google (gmail, contacts, etc). I had rooted a little over a week ago so thinking something had gone wrong i performed a factory reset. The reset went fine and the phone booted up to a stock state but when it came to adding my google account i got the error "cant establish a reliable connection to the server...". At first i figured this must be a connection issue but after loading up the web browser i'm able to load all sites including google web mail so my connection is perfectly fine. I then got hold of my galaxy tab 2 and checked my google sync status on there - it was working fine. I'm now sat here with a phone that has no google services and i'm wondering what has gone wrong ?

It happened a couple of months back while I was on Sweet ROM (I forgot the version), I installed the BBM for Android (Official from the Play Store) then it suddenly crashed. When it crashed, it rebooted then I was stuck in Samsung bootloop. I waited a couple of minutes but to no avail, I have to reflash the ROM. When I reflashed Sweet, everything was okay but there was no lock screen. I tried locking it through the power menu but when I press it again, it just opens on the home screen. There's nothing. I tried face recognition, slide, pattern, and password but nothing worked.

Is there any way to fix this?
