Thank you! I'm not too familiar with fastboot, but when I did the command, it was stuck on "waiting for device".
[Google Chromecast] jasenko:
Hi guys,

I only noticed it recently, when I have VPN session running on my mobile, I lose the access to my home network and can't see Chromecast. It only started when I upgraded my HTC One to KitKat, it was not an issue before. Is there a setting or something obvious that I am missing here? I am running OpenVPN app, but also tried the commercial one HMA with the same problem.

Hope someone can help.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Usually VPN clients have the option to not route certain traffic through the VPN. Configuring to not route Chromecast through the VPN should leave Chromecast visible unless there's also some multicast discovery being filtered out by the VPN as well.
[Google Chromecast] abuttino:
I had to go through a very advanced setup on my firewall to get the cc to cast on my same network but use the VPN at the same time..

Hint: ISP redundancy.
[Google Chromecast] logitechor:
The way I did it was have two routers - one with a Roku and the other a Chromecast. The Router with the Chromecast has a US DNS and the other stays as a Canadian address. Works well. Though I do occasionally forget how it is set up. But between them I can work around most Geo Issues.
[Google Chromecast] gapcio78:
So please any advice how to configure VPN client on android device and/or router (I have dlink dir-635)?

I have to connect on device with my company VPN and possibilty casting to my TV would be vey very usefull.
[Google Chromecast] ahmedsalah83:
try using VPNROOT.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] madas:
I have been using WIFI calling since I got my S5 and for the most part it has worked well. For the past week i've been getting the "REG99 - Unable to connect" quite frequently. I've tried a few different WIFI networks and get the error on them all. If I reboot a few times it will normally connect, and stay connected for a while. Eventually it comes back, and stays until I go through the reboot cycle again.

Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
Normally that comes up when it cant properly connect to your wifi, either no signal or not strong enough. Once you connect, try opening up a browser window first (and I would surf to a few random pages) to insure that you are fully connected and then retry connecting the wifi calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike96789:
You may have to update your 911 address on the tmobile Web page or call customer service.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyhauser:
Does anyone know if the G3 will work with three button headsets? As much as I loved my Moto X, the lack of three button functionality killed it for me. I really want to get a G3, but if it won't support 3 buttons, that's a deal breaker for me.

I know stock and stock-ish android doesn't support it, while the skinned versions like touchwiz generally do (all my galaxy and HTC phones did) so I am hoping LG's does.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingkee:
Forget those designed for iPhone (volume buttons won't work), but there's a chance Samsung stereo headset with volume buttons will fully work according to past experience with LG phones (OT, L9).
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KR LUCKY GOLDSTAR:
It seems to be same g2. Its name quadbeat2 is written on package. You can find review by googling
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyhauser:
I know the iphone headphones won't work. But the made for android 3-button headsets worked with my GS3, GS4, HTC One X, as well as my windows phones.

None of the android 3button headsets worked with my Nexus or Moto X. I have never had an LG phone so I was just wondering.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunt_101:
The QuadBeats 2 that comes with the phone have three buttons on them. and i'm assuming that they should work perfectly with the phone. i'll test them out tonight and report back.

[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
As you guys probably know, Moto X,G & E got android 4.4.3 a few hours after its release.

So today a few minutes ago David Schuster posted this in the comments:

https://plus.google.com/102838570385793445288/posts/EiWDVJ2LE17

So the 2013 Droids Lineup are getting 4.4.3

thats good news, thanks motorola for not forgetting about us!

What do you guys think? i honestly dont care if it takes a month or two, just the news that we are getting something its good to my concern.
[Droid Ultra General] flintbomb:
I just wish the life expectancy of a phone was longer. We probably should have got 4.4.2 a long time ago. I just want 5.0... Just my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to sound ungrateful... I'm glad we're getting something, but I just don't like how Verizon has such a strangle hold on these phones

[Droid Ultra General] akellar:
What Verizon device are you going to choose that has faster updates? And what are you missing that hasn't been updated yet?
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
Not sure what yet, maybe the moto x+1 or wait and see how the silver line plays out.

[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
Just to add to this. I'll be doing a full port over from the T-Mobile 4.4.3 update as soon as the appropriate files become available. Would be easier to do the VZW 4.4.3, but until then T-Mo it is.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Thanks bud appreciate your hard work. I just wish the x firmware was 100% compatible with the droids. A few little quirks screw it up like the active notifications half work. If it was 100% I would have been running 4.2.2 all along.
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
Yeah I have a few things I want to try on this new update to try and correct that. Just a waiting game now

Droid Maxx "Developer Edition"
[Droid Ultra General] doogald:
The Moto X has been getting faster updates on Verizon for sure.

The home key bug, the share menu bug, the loss of Google connectivity in low signal areas bug, battery drain issues on KitKat, some people have BT issues, OTG mounting support - all of these (some minor) have not been patched for over five months now. I'm glad that an update is coming, but it's brainless that Verizon wanted a minor radio patch that could have been provided with a full 4.4.2 update, but at least now we don't have to wait a long time for a 4.4.3 update.

Honestly, I am ok with the phone as-is. The Google account issues only happened to me once, the share bug twice, but others have been plagued with these issues - daily having to re-authenticate to Google servers when they drive through low signal areas back and forth to work, etc.
[Droid Ultra General] akellar:
All devices have bugs and all devices have threads where people don't think they get updated fast enough. The grass is always greener...
[Droid Ultra General] doogald:
Yes, they do. But you asked two questions, and I answered them.
[Droid Ultra General] PILLMUZIK3600:
Well if u don't like bugs.. Download and flash a stable custom ROM... Provided you unlocked your phone when everyone else did
[Droid Ultra General] 216Monster:
I read this on Droid-Life, it was good hear we are getting 4.4.3 at least. The X8 chip is actually pretty nice.
[Droid Ultra General] DERacing:
Not sure if I have the 4.4.3 update as all mine shows is 4.4.

Can anyone confirm?
[Droid Ultra General] bagheadinc:
You are on the most recent Droid MAXX/Ultra/Mini update, 19.6.3, which is just 4.4, not 4.4.3.
[Droid Ultra General] DERacing:
Great! Thank you for the info.
[Droid Ultra General] -Zeta-:
I sincerely hope they can unlock all 2013 droids' bootloader officially rather than getting 4.4.3...:D
[Droid Ultra General] SnoDrtRider:
Verizon would never allow that on a "production' device.
[Droid Ultra General] -Zeta-:
Hope Verizon stops producing them earlier then lol~
[Droid Ultra General] SnoDrtRider:
Verizon owns the rights to use the DROID name. Unless you spend the big bucks for the developer edition you are buying your phone at a subsidized price and you are going to be stuck with an "officially locked" bootloader.
[Droid Ultra General] svzurich:
Or you're in my shoes. You paid the big bucks for the locked bootloader version because the Dev version wasn't announced yet and I am not giving up my unlimited plan. Then you learn that people who came later and paid the same as you did get versions that can get their bootloaders unlocked, and you just ****ed yourself.

Thanks to the Chinese bootloader unlock code, I ended up winning in the end. However, I was just lucky that there was someone able to help me for $46, and I got in before the offer went away.
[Droid Ultra General] ratman6161:
Such are the issues with being an early adopter. Same applies to any technology - those who buy first pay the most for the shiny new device - but the longer its on the market the cheaper it gets. Saying "those who came later" got a better deal is almost universally true of any piece of technology.

PS: I should really say, those who time their purchase well get the best deal. When I got my Maxx last January, It was $200 on contract but I got a $100 gift card for trading in my previous Moto phone. I used the gift card to immediately turn around and get my Wife's Droid Mini for Free (It was $99 on contract and I applied my gift card). She then also got a $100 gift card which got us cases and the other accessories we wanted. So, a Droid Maxx, a Droid Mini and all our accessories combined for $200 total. Not too bad. Today you could get a Maxx for $99 and a Mini for $29 but its the newer Maxx with 16 rather than 32 GB - so I would say I timed my purchase well.
[Droid Ultra General] svzurich:
I think you slightly misunderstood me. I was not complaining about the price discounts that came later, those are a given. That's just how technology works.

I was complaining about the fact that the Dev Edition came later for the exact same price as I paid for my retail phone. People point to the Dev Edition and say that it's okay for it to be unlocked because they paid so much. I paid the same and then an additional $46 to a Chinese merchant to get the same ability. Had the Dev Edition been announced, I would have waited and bought it instead. I was running away from the Droid Charge POS. :)
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
I got what you meant and I agree I got my maxx for 300 subsidized using my wife's upgrade to keep unlimited. If I knew there was going to be a Dev edition I would have sold the maxx new and bought the Dev phone. I understand what he was saying about waiting and getting a better deal but that wasn't the issue. If they planned on releasing a Dev edition that should have been announced so we could have made a decision before purchase. I to used the Chinese guy and unlocked for 40 bucks. Best money I ever spent concerning a phone.
[Droid Ultra General] svzurich:
I paid the initial $700, and then 2 weeks later they (Verizon) dropped the price to $650, so I called them to get the $50 difference credited back as it was only 2 weeks since I had purchased. I now send Verizon's emails to Spam as they keep trying to get me to "upgrade" and give up my unlimited plan. :D

At $600-$650, I'd have happily paid for the Dev Edition had it been offered at the time.
[Droid Ultra General] SnoDrtRider:
I got my Droid just before Christmas... I got a text from VZW offering a free upgrade and when I called I was told the Droid Maxx was not available on the free update program. I told the CSR that I would just wait for my contract to expire and I would be changing carriers after more than 10 years with Verizon. We started discussing my bill and I told them that if they found a way to knock 50 dollars off my monthly bill (250 at the time) I would buy the phone (299.00) and stay with VZW. I got what I wanted.

A few weeks later the subsidized price dropped to 199.00 and I called and complained. Verizon issued me a 100.00 credit toward accessories.

NEVER PAY RETAIL FOR ANYTHING!

Hey everyone,,

I have a 16g micro SD card and it was fine until one week ago, I used an android app for downloading torrent called uTORRENT. I started to download a movie on my mobile left it for about half hour and when I came back and checked the downloading progress I noticed that the downloading stopped and a message was shown on the downloading line that say: write to disk error.

After this my SD card became write protected and I couldn't delete or download any thing to it.

I tried several ways and programs to remove the write protection from my SD card but I couldn't.

I also cheked my SD adaptor and it was unlocked. I couldn't delete or format the memory even on my computer.

Please help me with my problem.

Thanks...

Your SD card's partition has a error..

Use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition, a free software, to recover the partition after you connect it to your PC using a card reader, just to be safe. :thumbup:

Hey guys..

Thanks for your replay, I tried mini tool partition wizard and when insert my SD card and choose it to operate on it all the options become in gray color and I can't select any option. Even when my SD card partitions are shown with the rest of my computer partitions.

I also tried to format my memo from non android phone (Nokia phone)..but I couldn't because the format option don't shows when I insert the card.

Also I cant delete any thing from it and it says disk is write protected or disk is read only.

hardware switch

some sd cards(microsd too) have a hardware switch ont hem that write protects them, chek that, if it's locked then unlock it, and just to be sure, back up the contents to your computer and format the card in your phone, then copy the data over thru usb to ensure the computer doesn't format it(depending on your OS it might)

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] BlinkYDroid:
I make this because I tried to change the bootanimation in my LG Optimus L7 II but I can't, all the tutorials doesn't work for my device and here I found the way, it is on cust/poweron (I found that adress in Bin/bootanimation file).

===REQUIREMENTS===

* You have to be ROOT user

* Have a custom bootanimation.zip

* Download Root explorer

The key is not only in:

[/system/media/bootanimation.zip]

You have to change the custom bootanimation.zip on [/cust /poweron/bootanimation.zip] too.

So first of all put the custom bootanimation.zip on the external SD, then with the Root explorer go to system/media and replace the original file "bootanimation.zip" to the new one on your external SD. Then go to cust/poweron and do the same thing. Now your device's company bootanimation is replaced for the custom that you've downloaded.

Here I upload a random bootanimation for you to test it and then you can search another which you like more.

Peace guys, hope this works for you!
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] maxx_hr:
In my P710, i only change in /system/media/bootanimation.zip, and it works, till i change bootanimation packed with UOT kitchen canges.

After that, no matter how i change bootanimation.zip only in /system/media/, it stays same.

I try to see your procedure, but on my P710, is no /poweron under /custom folder...

I found bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ folder, and only delete it. No more problem with changing bootanimation.zip only in /system/media/.

Hi,

I've tried to use my company simcard within my MDA Compact 2 but it won't work!! Any suggestions? The Compact 2 is probably simlocked but since I also use T-mobile in privat I got no idea why it doesn't work!

I got the new ROM update from T-Mobile Austria!

Please Help
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hanmin:
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Your company is using T-mobile

You personally uses T-Mobile

You are in Austria

You used the Austria T-mobile upgrade

Right?

What is the message you see when you use your company SIM
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frankygth:
absolutly right!

The SIM says T-Mobile! The SIM Card is working fine on my company cell phone!

This is really strange! There shouldn't be any difference between privat and company contracts cause it's the same network (T-Mobile)

The Compact 2 acts like there's no SIM Card in it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frankygth:
... T-Mobile Austria provided a ROM update to solve some bugs!

Before I switched to the new update I tryed the company SIM - Same result!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
if the sim card is old it may not be compatible with the device

it's been know to happen
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frankygth:
would it make any difference on an unlocked phone?

Or is it not possible to use this sim card at all?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hanmin:
If the phone act as though as there is no SIM card at all, it doesn't sound like a locked phone. a locked phone will gives you various unhelpful messages. Probably as Rudegar said, in compatible SIM card. I have not heard any thing (case or solution) on SIM incompatibility. Can't help you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
one could always ask for a new sim

i've don that before my network sendt me

one right away
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] frankygth:
I guess I'll try to get a new SIM!

This will probably solve the problem

Cheers, guys
[Nook Touch General] PoisonWolf:
So one thing I was able to achieve recently was to set up the Nook as a screen mirror in a very simple fashion, thanks to folks at mobileread! I was wondering if anyone else uses their nooks as a screen?

Right now, I have two nooks set up such that each would mirror half of a laptop with the weird 1360x768 resolution. It's been great for reading academic journals because these PDFs are typically double columned.
[Nook Touch General] krzynier:
Could you provide some details how you achieved this? Or any keywords how to find it ?
[Nook Touch General] shorty66:
I would also love an explanation to that picture.

Is the nook getting the images via usb? Or wifi?

Are any special adapters needed?
[Nook Touch General] PoisonWolf:
This was achieved using a simple python script written by kranu @ Mobileread. Here's the link. The original script was only made for a single screen that captured a 800x600 image of your host screen at a 1:1 ratio. If you wanted and knew python, you could easily make it capture a 1600x1200 image and compress it to fit the Nook's 800x600 screen.

The nook is getting screenshots from the host computer via WiFi. So literally no adapters needed. All you need is a browser on the nook and python installed on the host computer. So yes, this method will technically work from ANY e-ink screen with a browser, but ideally you want a browser that can go into "full screen" mode (no bars). There are few e-readers that have a 800mhz CPU that can be had for $30 or less. Hence why I think the nook is an ideal choice for doing this. You can have as many nooks as you want if you wanted to make a bigger screen.

There are other ways to achieve this, such as running a VNC viewer. But I opted for a simpler approach because I didn't intend to interact too much with the monitor, I simply needed it for reading.
[Nook Touch General] jago25_98:
Wow. Very nice.

Just to let people know, another approach is running VNC but the advantage of the screenshot thread here of course is that you can use more than 1 nook.
[Nook Touch General] krzynier:
Just set the capture region to your monitor resolution

w,h=(1600,900) #width and height of capture region

and modify

image=wx.ImageFromBitmap(bitmap)

data=list(image.GetData())

to

image=wx.ImageFromBitmap(bitmap)

image = image.Scale(600, 800, wx.IMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH)

image = image.Rotate90(True)

data=list(image.GetData())

and then you have the monitor display scaled for nook screen size and rotated to landscape mode.

Big Kudos for kranu for the idea and script and for PoisonWolf to finding it :)
[Nook Touch General] PoisonWolf:
This is pretty awesome. I know little about python scripting. I think I'm going to use this to make a smaller capture region be scaled higher (make things appear larger).
