[Google Chromecast] DarrenHill:
The Ravpower should be getting a firmware update in April (and there's a new version of the hardware coming too apparently) which will give it DLNA support as well as SMB. That may make things a little simpler for hooking things up.

I must admit I'm in a similar position - I too use a portable HD and a WD01 when travelling, although at the moment it's via my work laptop and Displayport-->HDMI adaptor and cable (I don't plug the HD directly into the laptop as the AV then insists on scanning it, not quick for a 2TB drive). But I'm hoping soon to be able to do something direct using an HDMI dongle of some flavour, DLNA on the WD01 and control via either my Nexus7 or my HTC8X. Other alternative is Avia or similar to read SMB from the WD01 to my Nexus 7 and then cast it out to a CC. But I presume that will tie-up the tablet from being usable for much else whilst doing so? And of course there doesn't seem to be anything for CC on WinPhone8 yet.

A question from my side to people who know (now that Google have released the CC in the UK) - is there any way to do DLNA display with one? I recall reading somewhere that the plex app might work for that, but I'm not sure. Currently in two minds whether to go with a CC or a Chinese DLNA dongle (an EZCast or similar). Most of the time it's used in hotels abroad, so would be for playing local stuff as IP address (and network speed) would stomp iPlayer et al. Any recommendations between the two options from people who have experience or have done similar would be gratefully received.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Casting from another server using Avia will "tie up" the device and use 3X the media bandwidth on the network (NAS->Device + Device->AP + AP->Chromecast) if the source is NAS, 2X for local media on the device (Device->AP + AP->Chromecast).

To be honest, if you're a regular traveler that needs/wants to play media, a standalone media player like WDTV, Roku, Popcorn Hour,etc would be a better/more convenient solution.

Media Player

- 2 or 3 pieces

Wireless bridge, dongle or router if necessary

Chromecast

- 4 pieces

Wireless router (using premise wireless usually will not work and even if it does bandwidth will be an issue)

Phone/Tablet/Laptop to "drive" Chromecast
[Google Chromecast] DarrenHill:
True - I think I'm going to go the DLNA dongle route. Had a quick look at a Chromecast this lunchtime at PC World (and a chat with a Google demonstrator). Looks a nice bit of kit to turn a suitable dumb TV into a smart one, but not quite what I want in this case. The media is already on a portable HD, and the Ravpower WD-01 is a portable hotspot anyway, so basically between the two (which I carry anyway) it's a portable NAS (soon with DLNA hopefully).

So once that is in place, the dongle and WD-01 should then form a DLNA pair (as player/renderer and server respectively) with either my N7 or 8X as the controller.

The Chromecast does look nice though generally, albeit rather odd that it doesn't have DLNA/Airplay support generally (although I guess by adding the Plex app you could get something like that?). But I guess that's not quite what they had in mind for it.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Yes, Chromecast is a bit different in its intent - it's more of a "media player extension" to your existing smart device.

Plex on Chromecast still requires Plex Media Server running on something. If PMS is running on the NAS device it doesn't add to the equipment count, but PMS on NAS can't always transcode, so that limits the benefit to a degree.

The only tricky part with DLNA is the variance in support between servers and clients. DLNA defines the protocols for exposing and transferring the media, but it's still up to the server what it wants to show, and the renderer wants to render.

External subtitles (separate files like .srt and .ssa) are especially tricky as not all servers will send the subtitle data along with the requested video.

And of course not all DLNA servers will transcode, so the format of your media still matters a lot.
[Google Chromecast] DarrenHill:
The video media is MP4 and the audio MP3 or M4A, so hopefully nothing there that's too weird or abstract. Hopefully no transcoding needed, just playback. Subtitles I can live without, but it's a valid point generally.

Plex server won't be an option on the WD-01 (without some serious hacking), so I'm more sure now that DLNA is the way to go. And if it doesn't work, it's only a £20 loss on the whole deal, which I can live with. Anyway the dongle is on order now, so we'll see in a week or two once it arrives and I get to play with it. Now also looking through the various apps for both devices to control it, but there's choices on both so all should be fine I hope.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Your media should be compatible with all but the very old/klunky DLNA players, so sounds like a good choice for you!
[Google Chromecast] DarrenHill:
Happily I can report that it works well (got an iPush dongle in the end, for the DLNA renderer). That said the dongle does have rather a worrying security hole in it (its wifi hotspot password is generically fixed, not changable and publically available) which I'm now trying to persuade the maker to fix via new firmware.

All I need now is for a DLNA firmware update for my RavPower filehub (currently being produced, according to them, due in a few weeks time) and also maybe a DLNA-capable player for my HTC 8X (currently nothing suitable in the WP8 store, only apps that can act as renderers or controllers!). But even at the moment my Nexus 7 can happily read the filehub via SMB and DLNA-cast to the dongle :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvmagician:
Hi,

I Flash 4.1.2 rom with Odin on my phone, (erlier rom was 4.1.2 , the same), now i can't connect to network and just Emergency call work!

how I can solve it?

I have tried the following:

Flashed various ROMS (CM9, CM10, Official Stock)

Did complete WIPE. Factory Reset, Clear cache, Clear Dalvik cache, Format /system
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_Kolanjian:
Contact your network provider and ask them for a new SIM card. Happened to a friend of mine whom she asked me to update her i9100, and only fix to the emergency calls issue was replacing the old SIM card with a new one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Also check that your imei number is still intact.....this *could* be a corrupted EFS folder.......

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcindia:
ya me too with same problem , suddenly from yesterday , but with same rom (jelly snap v7 with 4.3.1 mobile was working fine for the past few days ) , now can see the sinal strength with all bars and data is working fine , from reading other threads i noticed my imei show on *#06# ( some 004999.and many zeros.) is different form one on the back of panel. i have no efs back up done ,only cwm back up of my GB rom. i tried installing GSII repair and clicked on " mount EFS on RW " but no use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Bad news fellas......if you've borked your EFS folder and don't have a backup, you're in a "world of hurt".....

There are a few threads here on XDA where people have said that they have had success in restoring this data......but there are also a whole lot more who say they haven't.......

You can try the methods in these threads, but NONE of them are guaranteed to work......

You *might* be able to find a little backstreet phone repair shop that has the necessary specialized equipment needed to rewrite the EFS folder........

But the option with the highest chance of success, will be to return the phone to Samsung for repair (though that option WILL be the most expensive option......)

When you have it sorted, the first thing to do will be to BACKUP that folder......there are some good free apps on playstore (HC-kTool to name one) that will take care of this task very easily........

Good luck.....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Thanks for the tip on the hotspot toggle guys. So how can I manually go into wifi hotspot settings in order to set it up with security type and password? I have already went back to my faithful Slim ROM for the time being.

After setting up this ROM I immediately noticed it's a very nice ROM with unique settings/options not found in other ROMS. The other thing I noticed right away is that there's no option to add and change the date format in the status bar and no wifi hotspot setting in the menu. These are just minor things but I just wanted to point it out. Otherwise I find this ROM to be great. It even has the very cool option to change the lockscreen swipe-to-unlock icon and that's a very unique option. People should definitely give this ROM a flash!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Date and time etc for status bar is right in ROM Control
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I'm seeing day of week but not the actual date with month and year. It's no biggie, was just noticing that it wasn't there. But has anybody found a way to get to the hotspot settings? I actually use hotspot often. Thanks again.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sippi4x4man:
I have a 32GB HTC One with C Spire Wireless. It is also CDMA with the designation m7_wls. My question is, can you flash Verizon ROMS on another CDMA One and still retain carrier files for data, 4G, voice calls etc? I haven't owned a HTC product in quite some time and I am used to nothing but Samsung flashing procedures. I know that others on XDA with C Spire HTC One's have used some Sprint files for rooting and for flashing custom recoveries without issue but does this also work with ROMS? Currently there are no nandroids, C Spire RUU files or update.zips available to C Spire users. Back in the day when I used the HTC Hero and Samsung Galaxy S, all the ROMS I used were based off Sprint and/or Verizon. Any assistance is appreciated. I have posted this question in the Sprint Forum without much luck

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Thats a tricky question. You should be able to unlock and get s-off using firewater. The M7_wls is a sprint phone as far as i know. There probably is not a specific recovery made for a c spire phone, but my guess is a sprint recovery would be your best bet. If not, you may need to modify a sprint recovery to work. As for roms, thats where it gets tricky. Roms usually go with certain firmware, and firmware goes with a carrier. If you flash a rom, the firmware will remain the same. But the rom probably wouldnt act right if it ran at all, because it is not matched with the correct firmware. Your best bet is to unlock/root and s-off, find a working recovery, and then delv into learning how to make your own custom rom, or at least modify the stock one to meet your needs better. I think if you flashed a sprint or verizon rom, it would be a ton of technical work to get it working right on your carrier.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sippi4x4man:
Thanks for the information. I know some c spire users have rooted and unlocked using sprint files, my next question I guess would be about relocking and removing the tampered flag on the bootloader. Is it possible with Sprint files? I don't want to throw away that 100 bucks I spent on the extended warranty. Maybe the only way to find out is just to do it. Not having an ruu makes this very difficult

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Cyborg mechman:
Hi all,

Have just taken delivery of my lovely new P6 and am getting to learn my way around it. My first problem is that I cannot get my Igo 8.3 package that I've been using very happily on my Desire S to install. I've copied the apk into the root of my sd card and installed it, however it does not appear to create an Igo folder into which I would presumably put my maps etc. If I copy my Igo folder from my Desire S application the P6 Igo application doesn't see it and asks me to insert the sd card with the Igo folder on it.

Ofcourse the display on the P6 is quite a bit bigger but I thought that would result in it just using a part of the display.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] airionpeacher:
You create a folder " iGo " in the sdcard.

Copy the content folder details , license, UX folder & data zip.

Put the apk file into this "iGo" folder too.

Run install using file manager.

Make sure you have the correct license file in the License folder

or else the map will not load.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziphnor:
I have used Nexus Root Toolkit twice successfully on two different computer, but on both occasions that has left the computer unable to connect to the Nexus 10 outside debugging mode.

I think it is "Step 1" in the driver install guide that tells me to:

After doing this i can no longer connect the Nexus 10 as usb drive or/MTP. If i connect it, it simply says charging, and the Windows device manager doesn't list any new devices at all. Its like it isn't connected at all. If i enable usb debugging, i can use Nexus Root Toolkit without problem.

The computer in question is running Windows 8.1, and i first installed the Universal drivers that didn't work, and then got it to work with RAW drivers.

I assume that something got uninstalled that shouldn't have been, but i don't know what. Any help is appreciated, i don't fancy reinstalling windows :)
