[Google Chromecast] Haizum74:
Ive had a search and can't find an answer. My chromecast is plugged into my Denon amp and no matter what I do, everytime I try Netlfix or Youtube casting from my tablet, it loads up and plays 3 seconds or so and then the CC reboots.

I've tried restoring to factory, signing in and out of Netflix and Youtube but still zip. Any suggestions before I take a hammer to it? I can;t send it back either as it was sent from the States by a friend.

Its updated to the latest version.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Sounds like maybe Chromecast isn't getting a good-enough WiFi connection. Try using the HDMI extension and/or repositioning your router.

For a solid test

Unplug Chromecast from your TV

Put it near your router

Cast to it

Watch the LED to see if it reboots

If Chromecast doesn't reboot in this case, then it's definitely a WiFi signal issue.

It might be a heat issue as well, since amps get hot. HDMI extension and repositioning the Chromecast should help that as well. I have one of my Chromecasts on a 3-meter HDMI extension cable.
[Google Chromecast] Haizum74:
Its literally 30cm away from the router,so getting a good signal. Its plugged in to my amp not the TV although it does this with the TV too.

I tried it again and watched the LED light and he LED turns red then it reboots. This is again after about 3 seconds.

Ive also enabled multicast in my router settings.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
30 cm might actually be too close due to signal reflections.

Does it only reboot under load, not when idle?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Closer doesn't always translate to better but the fact it reboots says to me it isn't network related and you may have a lemon CCast or a bad update that didn't install correctly.

Heat would also be a very good possibility here, How hot is the unit when it reboots?
[Google Chromecast] Haizum74:
Only under load. I managed to get it to play 24 seconds of Grimm on Netflix. Thats the longest I have had. Youetube seemed to work ok then did the same again after a minute. G Music works fine.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
I might still be right about bandwidth, but have to say this is sounding like it might be a damaged/defective unit.
[Google Chromecast] Haizum74:
Im on 110Mb network. But as it is you could be right.
[Google Chromecast] Haizum74:
Ok, the bandwith point you mentioned got me thinking so I decided to check my router settings for wifi and wireless mode was set to 'up to 300Mbps'. I changed this to 144Mbps and tried again. So far so good. I've got through 1 minute without it crashing.

EDIT - Spoke to soon. Going to try lowering it minimum. Managed 10 mins though

can't do that.

first I tried to just use window's one(card in an adapter in my laptop)

it said that it's locked. it wasn't

I tried to use some other software, deep format ect'

did it thing, said that its been formatted, but it's all still there! I tried to manually delete the files on the phone, it "deleted" them, but when i replug it to the laptop they were back!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
I just cracked the screen on my i605 yesterday, and they're sending me a replacement today. What are the odds that it'll have 4.3 on it? Because, I'd really like to unlock the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
Just got my "new" replacement phone, and yep 4.3 on it. So, no unlocking the boot loader. Is there any way I can installed sophisticated ROM, or better yet CWM recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
No there is not at this moment.. sad to say:rolleyes:.. There is one option but it might cost you about a $100.. You could look online for a 4.1.2 motherboard for i605, the specific model.. it very simple to swap out..took me only about 15 mind and I have never done it before.. If your not comfortable PM me and I can recommend someone you can send it to that guarantees their work/parts for 3 months.. good luck man!:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
I actually tries "saferoot" and so far so good. I'm still waiting to see if it'll restore my data through Titanium Backup. Root checker does show it is rooted though.

I though about taking the mobo out of my cracked screen phone and swapping it once I booted this replacement and saw it was 4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Dude thats a GREAT idea! You should.. as long as it was not damaged with the phone..

You can root 4.3 just fine.. that is the same method I used when I did it.. Make sure evrything is installing properly and you have no errors when the script runs through..

If you need any helping swapping motherboard out.. Hit me up in a PM and I can maybe provide some pointers..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
Is it just a matter of taking out all the baby silver screws, and connecting some ribbon cables? Also, will I still keepxmy CWM recovery and old sophisticated root?

I've done dzens of pc mobos but never a phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yes..thats all it takes.. Umm not to sure.. Whatever you had on your old one might still be there.. not sure if it resets or anything..

If you have done PC's then it should be no problem for you.. take your time..just smaller pieces..

Good Luck!:good::highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
I've already sealed it up in the return envelope, but I'll cut it open for a chance to run a custom recovery and better root. I just don't think I can last a full year before my contracts up.

Even if it does reset my CWM backup I'd hope would restore everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Worse case scenario is just running CASUAL again and unlocking it. Let me know what happens:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
At the very least I'll at least I'll get my boot loader unlocked, CWM recovery and sophisticated rom all back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
Well, I swapped the old mobo with the new one. Now, neither the old mobo or new mobo works with the replacement phone. I made sure everything was connected the same way, but still it won't even power on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
That does not make any sense... Did you watch that video? and stupid ? is your battery charged?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
I watched the video. Battery was at like 90%. Now with the now mobo in the new phone if I hit the power button 3 times the LED will turn red, but when it's pliugged in charging it doesn't do anything.

I did leave the speaker and antenna from the new mobo in the replacement phone. Do I need to swap those too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
I can now get the green LED light to come one with the new mobo and charger plugged in if I hold the power button, but that's all it will do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Sounds like something wasn't put together right.. I would start over and make sure all is connected properly.. And this motherboard was from same device correct? Not like one from tmobile, sprint etc ect Verizon to Verizon..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
Yeah, it was from a i605 I got two weeks short of a year ago. I also agree about something not being put together right. I'm going to swap the antenna and speaker too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Ok..I didnt have to that.. and i was in the same scenario.. but just make sure you go over everything carefully...:highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
Well, I've made some progress. It boots up with the blue LED and I can hear the Verizon chime, but I get absolutely nothing on the screen. It's completely black.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Weird sounds like something is not hook up to the screen? You didn't force it open and mess the screen up right..:eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crbnfbr:
I'm thinking I must have messed up a ribbon cable by accident. The insurance company is going to send me a new one, and I'll just keep the locked bootloader and "saferoot" so I can use Titanium Backup and Rom Toolbox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yes that's what is sounds like man.. sorry to hear that.. If and when you get tired new one.. pm me I know a guy that does good work switching them out for cheap..and guarantees his work and parts for three months..;)

Good luck!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] spercK:
Just flashed CM11 Nightly ROM. Looks great and work smoothly.

Only problem is i can't find Developement Section to enable Debuggin.

I searched every single section in settings.

Titanium Backup says it's

Settings/Apps/Developement and check Debugging mode

. (

There's no such thing as "developement" option in Apps

)

Also, i read somewhere that tapping 7 times Build Number in Settings/About phone would do the work but nothing.

Does anyone know where is it???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hamza Murad:
Tapping build number is the only way to enable developer options. Since android 4.2 hiding of developer options has been implemented.

Try it again and keep tapping

i have an evo v 3d through virgin. on my lunch break i went to use my phone and screen wouldnt come on. thought battey might be dead. when i plugged it in light would blink instead of staying on steady to show it was charging. wouldnt connect to comp. either. i thought it might be: battery so i put new battery in and let it charge overnight. The screen still dont work. It vibrates still and buttons on bottom of screen light up but the screen remains dark. I tried to do a reset by holding down the volume down button and holding the power button at the same time but that didn't work. any ideas on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] hossman:
Did the charging led ever stay solid or turn green?

Are you s off

Custom ROM / recovery?

Try taking your SD card out and then boot to bootloader, hold volume down and press power
[HTC EVO 3D] timothytnt:
with the new battery i can get the phone to charge. light is on when charging green when full and i can power up and guess where to swype to unlock. it rings to tell me i have new notifications but the whole time screen is dark just buttons at bottom light up. i tried holding volume down and powering on but that didnt do anything nor did taking out the mini sd card. no custom ROM or anything. should all be like was when i purchased phone new.
[HTC EVO 3D] hossman:
When you hold volume down and press power does the phone vibrate or do the lights on the cap buttons turn on?

I imagine your screen has died but I'm definitely no expert

no dosent do anything. ive pretty much given up on it figured screen is prob. shot. sucks cause it was only year old and ive done good making sure not to drop it or anything. oh well hopefully the s3 will last me longer. thanks for your help

Here's what I have:

Dopod 900, with ROM Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.

Transcend 2GB SD (150x)

TCPMP 0.71 using RAW FrameBuffer. Not using any other TCPMP plug-ins.

Everything else left at default.

Video performance is really bad. Even in benchmark mode, I only get about 110%-120%. And at time, the frames are a bit flaky...

I had an HX4700 previously. I know the graphics performance of the Universal can't really compare to the HX4700, but I do expect it to be somewhat between than what it is now.

Is there anything I can do to improve the video performance?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
No one can help out?

Am I the only one having issue with it?

Something that I missed?

Or is there no solution to gain better DivX playback performance/quality?

Do not use the raw framebuffer. Use the xscale option instead.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
Thanks. Now using XScale driver and the vertical thingy option...

Much better now...but the video still has a really tiny jerk every now and then (5 seconds or so...).

Now I know the video performance isn't as good/fast as the hx4700, but can't I at least get a smooth video going on this Universal?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] acetuk:
Try installing version 0.66 instead.

On my Exec my benchmarks went up to between 140% and 180% just by doing that.

Also use a different setting to 'fit to screen' as that will slow playback down.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] surur:
What is resolution of the video you are trying to play? Scaling the video is actually very processor intensive. If you are encoding yourself you should go for 640x something and not stretch the video, or if its 576x something else just leave it unscaled also.

I encode my own video's recorded off TV @640 X 480 using pocket Divx encoder, these run almost perfectly after a fresh boot !! I only get the odd dropped frame, right now I'm sitting by the pool @ the marriott ( using my uni ) but when I get home I will try an upload a 100 MB clip and you can tell me what results you get, if it runs well then it comes down to how your video was encoded and you should try re-encoding it with pocket divx
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ice_coffee:
BTW for an instant 10% boost both to your benchmark and normal playing ability you can try using Pocket Hack Master, I can reliably take my UNI to 624 MHZ and it makes a noticeable diffrence both to the performance (good) and the battery life (bad) you should also consider that the speed of your SD card may be a liiting factor !!! but I doubt it

I am using TCPMP 0.71 on a Orange SPV M5000. I am trying to play a WMV downloaded from the UBISOFT Rayman Raving Rabbids page. (Bunnies Can't Play Soccer) Despite fiddling with numerous settings I can't get any decent performance at all.

Is this just because the Universal can't play a 640*480 WMV happily?

You sample videos play back perfectly happily - the boxing clip benchmarked at 130%. The Rayman WMV benchmarks at 65%

Any ideas?

Thanks

Christopher
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ice_coffee:
diffrent types of Video encoding require differing amounts of CPU power to play back !!! try re-encoding your rayman clip with pocket DivX encoder

Vid quality 100 (out of 199) and audio quality 9, dont forget to choose an E800 as your device (it is VGA)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ChristopherTD:
Thanks for that. I have tried that, and it does play better, but the video quality is severely degraded.

I have tried upping the quality to 199 and also experimented with other "Advanced" options but it still looks much worse than the original.

Would you expect the video image quality to degrade?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ice_coffee:
NO! especially at 199 the quality is so high that the Uni struggles to play it ( it requires 2.5 Mbits per sec but the uni maxes out at around 2.2 ~2.3 ) the quality however is stunning truly better than any HD tv on the market (comparing pixels per inch squared ) I will be unable to show you an example for around a week as I'm currently off on my hols
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ChristopherTD:
Hmm, the video shows lots of compression artifacts, and severe colour banding.

TCPMP plays it beautifully from the WMV when it is benchmarking it, but the re-encoded version from Pocket DIVX looks blotchy.

Perhaps I am missing a CODEC on my PC making the conversion work badly.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
I downloaded the files, played them on TCPMP.

During benchmarks, I get an average result of 132% on them.

However, during playback, I still notice small jerks every now and then. Does it not happen on yours?

P.S. I don't want to clock it up to 624 (or anything over 520) as it will shorten the life-time (per charge) of the battery. When I had the hx4700, I could play any 640xnnn videos really smoothly when clocked down to 312MHz. So really, 520MHz SHOULD be sufficient.

127% should be more than sufficient for smooth playback. However when playing the video I also noticed the frequent very annoying hiccups. I suspect there is an interrupt process that is interfering with I/O.

The HP4700 has an ATI graphics accelerator, which may have helped. Also WM2003SE may not have the interfering process.

Surur
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
So, now, the question is: Does these hiccups also occur on other 520MHz-, no graphics accelerator-, WM5-, VGA-PDA/Phone devices? Or is this device specific?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] r_c:
Check the codec settings when you encode a movie. 1.6 Mbit/s for a divx or xvid on such a small screen kind of defeats the purpose of encoding. For a great site on everything to do with video check http://www.doom9.org and have look at the forums over there.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chatbox:
I use my universal to watch DivX (TV eps such as 24, Lost...etc) that are downloaded off the web and in hope to play them without conversion. I'm one hell of a lazy bastard! If I don't care about re-encoding them, I'd have encoded them for the PSP.

Now, I'm starting to get the idea that the universal is incapable of playing 640xnnn DivX decently...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] r_c:
I've made an encoding myself:

Alien vs Predator 640x480 video bitrate 840 Kbit, audio 128 Kbit 44100 mp3 with b-frames enabled at 25 fps encoded with xvid from a dvd source. The max playback I can get is 24,6 fps. Very weird... I tried all sorts of settings and begin to believe you are right. Tcpmp version used was 0.72rc1 with all plugins installed on the sd card. Weirdest thing is indeed that when you benchmark it it will play at 32 fps.

Edit: I installed version 0.66 and have the full 25 fps! Cool. No dropped frames either wich I had with version 0.72rc1... Only thing I had to change was videodriver xscale, and hardware zoom... Hope this helps anyone. And this is in full vga mode (dpi 96) and a 640x480 movie :)

Edit 2: What the @!*$... My qtek was connected to my comp when I tested the above. Once you disconnect the old situation occurs. Anyone who has a clou to why the universal performs better when charging? Cpu speed is reported the same when charging/on battery...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ice_coffee:
ok as I mentioned earlier here is a video clip @ maximum quality, proving just what pocket DIVX can do !! however the uni just cant handle it, but it does look stunning.

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=9274DA1212108C3C

I would also like some of you guys to try this !! it is the SKY HD advert, that was included in the 50 MB download that I uploaded a week ago, this time I have re-encoded it from the master copy at maximum resolution and de-interlaced, for the higherst possible quality !!! the funny thing is, it requires 3Mbits a second to play properly so obviously it does not play properly, however if I bench it, it plays just fine infact it manages 3.3 Mbits per sec and shows 108% speed !!! these are speeds I have never seen the Uni manage this before, I guess it proves that the hardware is capable but currently the s/ware is not quite finished !! see for yourself

TCPMP is optimized to take advantage of the ATI chip in de HX4700. It can play pretty much anything without hickups.
