[Google Chromecast] troycarpenter:
Using a bonjour browser, I can see the entry for the Chromecast :

I'm running the browser that sees that from a Samsung tablet, which is also running the Chromecast setup app that says it can't find the Chromecast.

EDIT: I've tried the factory default recovery method a number of times now. I see the bonjour record go away, then come back after the setup app says I'm ready to cast. All apps can see the Chromecast at that time, then after 3 to 5 minutes, they no longer see the Chromecast. I don't see any difference in the bonjour record when it working from when it's not working.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Just a longshot....But do you have any security software that could be blocking some Apps from communicating with the Network?

It sounds an awful lot like what happens when an AntiVirus Application Monitor has denied access.
[Google Chromecast] troycarpenter:
Hmm, No, I don't think so.

But I found something interesting. My laptop CAN see the Chromecast, and I can cast Chrome tabs just fine. So far it's only the Android devices that can't see the Chromecast (and at the same time the laptop can). I'm looking for my iPad (I don't use it enough to keep track of it as close as I should) to see if it sees the Chromecast or not.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
That's really odd. Your network has only the ASUS router for wireless, no repeaters or extenders?

-= this post enhanced with bonus mobile typos =-
[Google Chromecast] troycarpenter:
I do have an extender (not a wireless repeater) in place, but it didn't make any difference before the latest Chromecast update. My next step is to try removing the extender, but I don't know if the Chromecast will see the signal coming from the other side of the house (the reason the extender was put in to begin with).
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
It's quite possible that the update changed something about the WiFi connection that your network simply does not like. People have noted similar "introduced issues" with HDMI before. Definitely submit a report with them if you haven't already, and request that updates NOT be forced to avoid issues like this. Being able to dismiss, postpone or even roll back an update would prevent this type of thing.

If it's not the build, I'm not sure what else it might be, unless your router has somehow quarantined your other Android devices on another band or SSID somehow.
[Google Chromecast] troycarpenter:
Looks like I switched off TKIP and just went AES on that network at some time. I went back and turned on AES+TKIP and now the Chromecast shows up on my mobile devices again. I'll keep an eye out in case that theory doesn't hold out.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerperk:
Have a TMobile 900T and I can't get the Driving Mode to stop. I turn it off, uncheck the box, even do a force stop and it still comes on when I start to drive. I'd rather CHOOSE it than have it make the call itself. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] termdj:
Go to setting/locations/my places and remove/edit your car/bluetooth connection. For safety Samsung is "forcing" people to have hands free while driving. As soon as you pair you car radio with bluetooth in location settings, then as soon as the phone (bluetooth on) detects your vehicle's bluetooth, it automatically turns car mode on. The alternative is to switch off bluetooth
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerperk:
Thanks for the answer! Which means I can't play my music via bluetooth and the app doesn't play well with Pandora, near as I can see. Great. I appreciate the concern but I don't like being 'forced' to do anything, just as a matter of principal.

Any way to disable this? Any one have a better idea?

[Moto X Q&A] vinuneuro:
I bought a used AT&T Moto X and it's on 4.4.2. Is it possible to root this (maybe through downgrading first), or do I need one of the unlocked versions of the phone?
[Moto X Q&A] frenchie007:
unless an exploit comes out in the future (but i think everybody is pessimistic about this), the locked versions can't downgrade and can't root 4.4.2.

so you need either an unlocked version, or a locked version pre-4.4.2
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
And no....don't downgrade. You could easily brick your phone.
[Moto X Q&A] seabass950:
Whoa whoa

I just purchased a moto x from Google, for ATT.

I can't root???? Woowwwwwwwww..........
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Yup. Should have read up first. ;)

That said....return it now while you still can, and get a dev edition or another carrier that can be sim unlocked and work on at&t if that's who you're with.

Hurry! Lol
[Moto X Q&A] seabass950:
There didn't seem to be a dev option available through ATT.

Jesus this sucks.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Wait....what exact one did you buy????
[Moto X Q&A] seabass950:
Moto X for AT&T

Memory - 32 GB

Back - Woven Black

Front - black

Accent - Metallic Black

Estimated Delivery May 5, 2014

$99 for 2 year contract. **** I could've just bought a used dev moto from ebay
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Oh, so you definitely got the at&t model?? On a plan, or paid up front???

If on a plan, you could try to sell it anyway, and put that towards dev edition.....or live without root...or return it.
[Moto X Q&A] seabass950:
Ah good idea... selling it new.

Actually I'm not sure I need root. I only rooted my S3 to get rid of touchwiz, but this stock android might be ok. Only app I use that needs root is file manager and drivedroid. And I want to disable the camera shutter sounds

I'd like to put CM11 on there but looks like motox isn't well supported by CM anyway.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
The Moto x definitely doesn't need to be rooted, but you may regret it later if you can't.

Good luck with whatever you do. ;)
[Moto X Q&A] vinuneuro:
Thanks for all the helpful replies.

I wasn't planning on rooting this phone either, but then I came across Gravity Box. Sell the phone new and get an unlocked one.
[Moto X Q&A] hovax615@hotmail.com:
No one is really in the market for a moto x unless you sell it for dirt cheap. You don't really need to root this device it's great without but even better with root. You can disable the camera shutter sound from the camera menu. Es file explorer is a great alternative? But if you want return it and get the T-Mobile version its unlocked. This phone has been really great.

[Moto X Q&A] Markmaster:
Why are all pessimistic that manage to get root on a closed bootloader version from AT & T?

Why do these companies do not sell at least an opportunity to get open bootloader? What do they lose?

I miss perekllyuchatelya regimes in 2G, 3G, and other other joys ...
[Moto X Q&A] DocMCSE:
I bought my Moto X directly from Motorola (not subsidized from AT&T) for use with AT&T. I did not opt for the slightly costlier DEV model, so is this thread telling me my personal property cannot ever be unlocked to be used somewhere else?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Pretty much...

Don't confuse bootloader unlock with SIM-Unlock though.

You can pay a small fee and get your AT&T X unlocked to use on other GSM carriers....AT&T also might provide you with the code if you meet certain criteria. Bootloader unlock is another story. AT&T forbids Motorola from giving out unlock codes for their branded phones. Currently the ONLY possibility for unlocking the bootloader on an AT&T X is through the China Middleman.

Apologizes if any (or all) of this is redundant.
[Moto X Q&A] DocMCSE:
Thanks, I pretty much figured in this day and age that the SIM could be unlocked or I'd have bought the unlocked one to start with. What bothers me most is I do not use/abuse root on any of the devices I own and am only interested in doing so on my X to run the Titanium Backup app I purchased to run on my older phone. I guess I knew back then the app needed root to run but since that used to never be an issue due to the collective experience I have at my fingertips here at XDA-Developers.com. it never dawned on my that a day would come where root would be taken away from me never to be returned.

Also, I had to reinstall the sdk but 'adb devices' shows nothing. Any hope of bringing this back to life?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpJoker:
If you are in fastboot, adb commands will not work, you need to use "fastboot devices" to see if you are connected. If you are flash a recovery from fastboot and you can work fairly easily from there. Is the bootloader locked or unlocked?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Yep, agreed...

Hi, joe2262...

'adb devices' will not show anything if the device is booted into fastboot mode.

The command you need is 'fastboot devices'...

This will confirm you have a working FASTBOOT connection... and from which you can run fastboot commands... such as fastboot flashing a Custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP).

Or alternatively, fastboot flashing back to factory stock.

Either way... I suspect your Nexus 7 is likely recoverable:).

At worst, it's just 'softbricked'.

[Google Chromecast] pelon90005:
This was driving me.crazy for days. My receiver would play chromecast on my LG tv but when plugged directly to any hdmi port on my LG tv, nothing would happen. My LG would say starting chromecast, then nothing, no signal. I tried all Google troubleshoot recommendations and nothing. Finally, when I changed the aspect ratio of my tv to 4:3 then unplugged and plugged the chromecast back in (movie was already being casted from Netflix) it finally recognized it and I was showing the movie! It worked on all hdmi ports, after being able to cast, i then changed the aspect ratio back to just scan or 16:9 . Hope this helps somebody
[Google Chromecast] shelby04861:
No issues with my lg 2013 led 3d model. Set to 16:9 as normal and has always worked. Wonder if it is more a model specific issue. You should post your TV model info for others to compare as it isn't really "lg TVs" exactly
[Google Chromecast] AustinMartin:
There have been many different TV's with this issue, especially with LG TVs. My sanyo has a similar issue, so I'm about to try this.

There have been many similar reports over on the chromcast google users forum:

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/chromecast
[Google Chromecast] shelby04861:
I just jumped on over there. A few here and there but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. What I am getting at is we really need model number of TV, how you have it setup, is powered by USB wall adapter or USB port on TV, extension vs no extension. If we can get model info and setup info we might be able to learn more. Even TV firmware will help. From there we might be able to find another person with the exact same TV to learn if they have the same issue or not. Just want to help of course so don't take this the wrong way. It could be something simple.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
It could be something as simple as a timing issue, especially in the case where Chromecast is powered by TV USB port.

Counter-intuitive as it may seem, HDMI prefers being plugged in to a "live" receiver for the handshake to happen. If the TV doesn't listen to HDMI while powered "off" but Chromecast still gets powered, Chromecast might not negotiate the HDMI handshake properly - and that usually requires a disconnect and reconnect to renegotiate.

IMO Google should really push wall power more. TV power is asking potential trouble if the TV powers off the USB port while flashing an update. Unless the TV specifically supports connecting a USB hard drive, I don't expect it to have any sort of predictable power output. Yes, I know USB spec says it must, but I've had numerous USB hosts with variable output, or at least that's what USB Voltage Doctor tells me...
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I actually did this this weekend....

I have my TV mounted to a wall like most people and there is a pair of dual outlets on the wall that the TV plugs into...

I replaced one of the standard AC outlets with one that had a single Grounded AC and Two USB ports and now power my CCast with those.

Most folks use the TV USB because it hides the wires but for the price of $5 you can replace a outlet and get a much better USB Power source.
[Google Chromecast] AustinMartin:
Someone over there, I'm assuming who works at google, keeps insinuating that they only have problems with TV's that have bad EDID's.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Would be easy (but not free) to test with an EDID replacer like Dr. HDMI or HDMI Detective but to be honest I would expect other HDMI sources like DVRs and Blu-ray players to also have trouble if it was truly an EDID issue.

I know some very old (early days of HD) sets report they accept 1080p but don't actually display it, which is an EDID issue, but that really shouldn't be happening for anything modern.
[Google Chromecast] AustinMartin:
Yes, you would think, but google hasn't really made too much hdmi input equipment. The major things that are failing with hdmi issues are non-1080 native TV's such as 720 plasma's, and a lot of LG problems. I think that the latter additions to the edid standard to accommodate hdtv signals might be the issue.

Of course it would be nice if Google actually listed the TV sets that they are having issues with, but at least one person listed that when they talked to google support direct, they said that the one TV wasn't supported right now.
[Google Chromecast] pelon90005:
42Lw5300 from the wall outlet and from the tv usb both work

When I first got the cc it worked flawlessly on the tv hdmi input. Then I decided to plug it into my av receiver then when I went back to the tv recently, it wasn't working. All I got was , starting chromecast and then it would switch to the LG screensaver saying no signal. Numerous hard resets nothing..then I did the change screen format thing and it worked all the way
[Google Chromecast] pelon90005:
I did the switch my tv thing to 4:3 after I notice when the cc starts it looks like the starting chromecast font was at a lower resolution...so by switching it I thought it would recognize my cc at that a lower resolution
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
AFAIK the Chromecast boot screen is 480p, but after that Chromecast will try to negotiate 720p or 1080p.

Aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9) just determines how your TV handles the signal (don't stretch or anamorphic stretch) - it shouldn't change what the TV communicates.
[Google Chromecast] mikma80:
I was also having problems with my LG television and Chromecast. Chromecast turned on via the LG's usb port but tv was pitch black. I had to pull the powercord off and plug it in 2-3 times before the tv worked. Turns out that the LG had faulty panel.. and the TV was like that from the first moment I bought it. Hooray for warranty! The tv was 2 weeks old when I had it repaired.
[Google Chromecast] ASSAdigboi:
I have the model 32LG80FR. I have tried almost everything. The problem is that when I connect the Chromecast to HDMI/DV1 (HDMI2 does not even recognize) input, the screen displays Chromecast in text and then the logo and then the screen goes black, even "No Signal" isn't shown. When I change the video setting from Google Home app to HDMI 50Hz mode, the Google logo at startup is better than that is shown at 60Hz mode.

I mostly use the TV with VGA cable connected to my laptop and it works fine. So, I connected my Chromecast to a HDMI2VGA converter. But here, the same problem persists but instead of a black screen after the Chromecast text (the logo doesn't appear as well), the TV displays "no signal".

I have even tried using a HDMI splitter but its no better. I would really appreciate if someone has a solution to this.

The Chromecast works fine on other devices.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kate84:
Hello,

I have the 16gb Nook Tablet with the OEM wall charger and cable.

Doesn't charge properly when I'm using custom roms. Example...

While using the tablet with brightness max, wifi on, watching netflix with the charger connected, the battery will drain.

The charger feels cool. I normally charge it while the tablet is off and takes forever like if I'm charger with the USB cable only from computer. lol

I tested with stable CM10.1, CM10.2, nightlies CM11, few other roms..

So I flash back to 1.42 stock Nook, brightness max, wifi on, watching netflix with the charger connected and it charges fine and fast (normal).

Charger feels warm, as it should cause its charging.

What seems to be the problem?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skepticmisfit:
there's your problem. also i think the CM ROMs take longer to charge than B&N firmware because they allow charging through other cables and can't really differentiate between a normal cable and a B&n cable because of that.

but lower your brightness.

also, battery drain for me seems to be an average of like 1% every few minutes. that's normal for this device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kate84:
I should say even with lowest brightness and wifi off, it will still slow drain. Even though the it shows that the tablet is charging.

I have found that charging works fine on stock Nook, and on custom Gingerbread roms like soft-mod ribbon rom & miui rom.

Looking for an ICS rom to try next...

So CM10+, CM11 seems to be thinking it's charging from USB port...

What gives?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kate84:
CM9 ICS charging fine.

Odd...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kate84:
So with any CM10.X during boot up on the cyanoboot screen, it says "charging disabled" in green text just under "battery level"

I think that's why I can't charge with it on. Found a few thread from people with the same problem but no solution.

Any ideas?
