Upgrade the firmware in kies
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadjet:
All is not lost.

Hi missbender.

judging by your screenshot you are safe and can flash the stock ROM from sam-mobile, or via samsung kies.

1-Do a soft reset and connect your note 3 to kies on your PC, it should do a firmware recovery.

2-If no joy reply to this post with the network your note is on etc i will send you the link and instructions to do it manually.

i go to the setting - storage - usb computer connection, and check the first one (MTP). unplug and plugit again and nothing shows on my computer.

so i tried to uninstall the nexus 5 on the device manager, unplun and plug, then right click and update software driver, browse computer for driver software, then i navigate to the latest google usb driver that i download from google, and when i try to install the driver it says: "windows was unable to install your nexus 5".

Hey there,

I am pretty much a noob to all of this so please stay with me :)

I run a rooted Nexus10 with CM11 (20140603 currently) and need to use an ethernet to USB adapter via OTG. My OTG cable works fine using stick drives etc., but my tablet does not seem to recognize my adapter.

I tried using "ifconfig eth0" after first plugging everything into the OTG cable and then the cable into the Nexus - but to no avail.

I'd be very glad if any1 could help me out with this. I spent the last couple of hours reading through various threads throughout the internet, but was not able to find any solution :/

Best,

dersami

P.S.: Adapter: Königs CMP-NWUSB20

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
Android only supports specific Ethernet chipsets out of the box (included drivers). So your adapter must be one of the supported ones or have drivers you can install which means you also need to be rooted. Search in the Nexus 10 accessories section to find numerous threads on Ethernet adapters. I have such a thread on my success with a gigabit Ethernet adapter with copious details.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] AhmadLight:
Hello,

Lately, my note 8 started to feel warm while I'm using it...

So I decided to watch CPU temperature using System Tuner:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw

First, temperature of the atmosphere here nowadays is about 35c to 40c...

for my note 8:

In idle mode, temp is about 40c, while normal using (wifi off, bluetooth off) like watch videos, using apps,

CPU temp is about 50c and battery is ~38c to 40c

sometimes while gaming, CPU temp could reach ~60c

The tab from the back left side is feeling warm

Is these temps normal??

What's your readings?

Note: I'm rooted on stock 4.2.2, and I didn't modify anything..

I just set the max freq at 1GHZ after overheating
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Removing, disabling, or freezing Google Play Music will fix battery drain and temperature issues. Though there are thousands of apps that are buggy, since everyone has different tastes there is no real way to point out exactly what app outside of Googles Play Music that is causing drain without going into system and looking at battery. The top two items listed are the cause of your battery drain. Display should always be on top unless using GPS, Games, or Media without power adapter. Google's Play Music will cause Media Adapter to index in back ground. Depending on media type and media name, Media Adapter will run for 30 minutes to hours on end draining battery as well. 4.2.2 has a bug with media names, So using Windows or Apple's media management to create folder and names can be your issue as well. Search for any media with "_" in the name or folder.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] AhmadLight:
Google play music is disabled long time ago.

I'm also aware of the media storage drain issue...

That's why I wished to upgrade to 4.4.2 to end the media drain issue.. but kitkat seems buggy too as many users confirmed that.

Also, I've no battry drain problem, it's just overheating!

My battery can last for about 8 hours without charing :)

The other night, I was in the middle of sending a text and my phone died. So I put it on the charger and went to bed. When I woke up and turned on my phone on the service bars were empty. When trying to dial a number it says, "No network available".

This does not go in an out like 99% of the ones I have googled it's just gone, period.

Upon googling I tried the fix to set network to automatic in settings, I get "Cannot connect to network right now, try again later."

I tried to flash a new radio, same results.

I flashed my 4.4.2 up to 4.4.3 with the 4.4.3 radio, same problem.

Before the antenna went out I was running basic stock, not rooted, not unlocked. It is now unlocked, from flashing a rom.

I cannot afford a new phone. This phone is all I have. I've had it almost a year now and it still looks like it is fresh out the box. I take VERY good care of my phone. Please someone help me...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Philip:
On occasions, my Universal (O2 XDA Exec) will switch on when I open the lid, even though I have switched it off (by pressing the On/Off button) before closing the lid. At other times I have to press the On/Off button after opening the lid to switch it on.

Anybody know what dictates this behaviour?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vapor:
there could be several reasons:

- while in your pocket (or wherever you keep the device), the power button is accidentally pressed.

- there is a program that you installed that powers on the device based on your settings (what programs do you have installed anyway?)

- there is a program that you ran that disables the auto power off in the system settings. programs which usually do this are navigational and movie playin programs. if not closed properly, they would cause the device to not turn off automatically.

hope that helps for starters.

[Google Chromecast] benzothegreat:
Firstly, I have sincerely looked everywhere for an answer to my issues. I've spent the last 2 weeks trying to get this working and I just keep hitting brick walls. For the record, the chromecast works fine with the youtube app etc. I'm casting from my 2013 nexus 7.

Firstly, there's the apps I've tried. Allcast, BubbleUPnP, LocalCast. Secondly, there's the media servers. I've tried PS3 media server, plex, and serviio (win2008 r2 x64).

From memory, the story goes like this. Installed PMS. AllCast stuttered. Localcast either didn't work or stuttered.

Next, tried plex. AllCast couldn't see the server (just says 'loading'). Although, once, it could see the server. Played an MKV and got video with no sound. Tried modifying the generic.xml profile so it was like the chromecast.xml profile, restarted, and once again AllCast couldn't see the server. Tried restarting the server again (after replacing original generic.xml profile), and the nexus 7, still just says 'loading'.

Using LocalCast, I played several MKVs - video, but no sound.

Next, tried Serviio. Couldn't see that server in any of the apps.

Tried PMS again. AllCast still can't see any servers (still just says 'loading'). Created a Chromecast profile in PMS. When I play a video (mkv, avi, mp4) in PMS, the log says the video starts to play, then 5 seconds later it says it stops.

Tried BubbleUPnP. When I send the video from PMS to any video player, the video player either crashes, or just says it can't play the file.

Has anyone actually got a successful setup going with a media server and casting from an app? At this point I'm willing to try anything!
[Google Chromecast] Cuzz1369:
I use plex and there isn't a problem at all. Must be a network issue.

Edit: first suggestion is make sure everything is on a 2.4Ghz network. Chrome won't work on a 5Ghz network.
[Google Chromecast] thaysean:
What audio do the mkv files have? Ac3? Ac3 is not supported on Chromecast.

See link: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media

If the mkv file plays the video but with no audio, then PMS with have to transcode the audio. On a slower computer, you will get major stutter.

PMS transcoding requirements: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/ar...kind-of-CPU-do-I-need-for-my-Server-computer-

I re-encoded all of my library, so no transcoding is required and all plays super smooth using any app that you mentioned.

Hope that helps!!!

Also, check network like Cuzz1369 said
[Google Chromecast] philip67:
I am using bubbelupnp server for transcoding on the fly and it works great for me.
[Google Chromecast] neu - smurph:
PMS plus Plex (App) paid version works fine for me, as does PMS plus accessing PlexWeb Interface in Android Chrome and casting from there.

I used to use BubbleUPnP + the BubbleServer to read from PMS, but found that disabling PMS's DLNA server helped with general stability a lot so dumped that, particularly as my other major use for BubbleUPnP - casting from other online video sources is now provided direct in Android Chrome.
[Google Chromecast] benzothegreat:
Thanks everyone for your suggestions so far. Apologies I haven't replied sooner.

Firstly, I can confirm I'm on a 2.4gHz network (also, chromecast works fine when casting youtube, etc).

I know that chromecast won't play ac3 audio, so I'm trying to use plex or ps3 media server to transcode the audio as mp3. Haven't even been able to get to the stuttering problem - my issues seem to be before we even get to that part!

I am trying to find a solution I don't have to pay for (I mean, this stuff is supposed to work, right??) so bubbleupnp server and plex android app are both out.

[MENTION=5264030]neu - smurph[/MENTION] - when you're mentioning PMS, do you mean ps3 media server, or plex media server? if plex, have you tried any other apps to try and stream from plex?

If anyone has an actual functioning setup where they can cast transcoded mkv's where the ac3 is replaced by mp3 and they haven't paid for any apps, could you please let me know what your setup is? I'll be very keen to recreate it!
[Google Chromecast] neu - smurph:
By PMS I mean Plex Media Server - and for a totally free setup including PMS transcoding any non Chromecast compatible media it should work using Android Chrome via http://plex.tv/web/app or yourserverip:32400/web/index.html#. You can only cast video with Android Chrome though - not music or photos. For that you'll need the paid app or a subscription (which gets you a free copy of the paid app).
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Plex will not transcode unless your using the Plex App to playback the files. I'm not sure but I bet Bubble requires you to use the Bubble App as well to get the transcoding.

So your attempt at using Plex with some other app is not going to transcode and since your Audio is not CCast compatible your not going to get Audio.

[EDIT] Ok I just checked....and Plex will transcode without their app but only provided your unit has a profile in Plex that supports your unit....

What you will have to do is check the Plex Server logs to find out what your unit is identified as when streamed to, and make a profile (using the CCast profile.xml as your template), change the parameter <Client name="Chromecast"> to <Client name="yourdevice"> and save it as yourdevice.xml
[Google Chromecast] benzothegreat:
Thanks Asphyx - that's a great help. I did look around last week and grabbed a profile for the Chromecast - I even replaced the 'generic' one with the CC specific one. Unfortuantely, my problem is before that stage - AllCast doesn't even SEE PMS.. it just says 'searching...' - any suggestions?
[Google Chromecast] Liquid Li0n:
same here, I tried almost all the apps and when I want to cast a video from my phone to the CC it buffers and stutters...Is it because I have the free version to try the apps?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Are you sure you have the DLNA server enabled on Plex?

If you do also try enabling GDM in Network settings. Sometimes that helps with discovery issues.
[Google Chromecast] benzothegreat:
This is ridiculous. I made sure GDM was enabled, and the DLNA server is running because I can see the log. So I tried connecting - all good from allcast. No sound, since I was using the generic profile.

I made sure I had a CC-friendly profile called name="Generic", restarted, now I can't see plex again.

It's like when I have a profile that will work properly with the CC, plex doesn't want to be seen? I've uploaded my log file in case there's anything helpful in there..
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
What you need to look at is the Plex DLNA logs...Thats the general log for the entire server you posted...
[Google Chromecast] benzothegreat:
oops - ok, here are two DLNA logs (not sure which one is the right one)..
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Your log only shows an attempt to load a photo (probably a preview image)

But it does say User Agent Windows Media Player....That shouldn't say that if it recognized your device as generic Android.

You should not have changed the generic profile, you really need to make a new profile that WILL match your device properly...

I see no attempt to load Video here, perhaps AllCast is not using the DLNA and using UPnP instead....
[Google Chromecast] benzothegreat:
Damn.. ok i replaced the original 'generic' profile, hoping that would fix it... no dice :(

How can I tell if allcast is using DLNA or UPnP ?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I think you might just be better off Uninstalling PMS, Deleting all the data folders (in your User space on Windows, Data not saved in the programs folder)

And re-installing it and resetting all your profiles.

See if you can at least see the server under Media Servers.

(I have confirmed this works in Allcast)

Then we can take a look at the logs when you try and connect and we will see if we can't create a good profile for you...

But I have to say it sure looks like it is transcoding for my CCast without any need to change profile.
[Google Chromecast] benzothegreat:
Hi Asphyx - sorry again it's taken so long to reply. Ok - uninstalled PMS, re-installed. Allcast found Plex.

Tried to cast a new MKV (would have ac3 audio) from my nexus 7 - video, but no sound. So plex isn't transcoding the audio into mp3/aac.

Next, tried to cast a very old simpsons ep (avi) - and I got no video, and garbled audio...

I've attached the log files in a zip. The 'Neptune' log was about 10mb so I truncated it - but it's basically saying the same thing over and over - something about a bad SCPD response from my chromecast.

Also, I'm pretty sure Plex is recognising the chromecast as 'generic'... :(
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
No worries on the time delays....Just as long as there are not 4 pages of posts in between so I can catch up! LOL

Neptune log won't help us...but we will get to that...Unfortunately Plex has multiple Logs it gets confusing...

Okyou are seeing the server which was half the problem....

Your right it isn't transcoding...

I just looked at my Generic.xml and it appears to be blank....Just the XML Header...That could be the problem if it's the same on yours.

So open up generic.xml and tell me what it says after

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Author: Plex Inc. -->
<Client name="Generic" />

If nothing then it's not transcoding at all....Which I can reproduce on my end...

Take a look at Plex DLNA Server.log

Do a search for User-Agent and tell me what it says...

Mine says "User-Agent: Dalvik/1.6.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.2.2; Xoom Build/JDQ39)"

Your's should say something different which I think is the problem here with All Cast and Transcoding from Plex.

There may be multiple entries listed so try and distinguish which one is actually Android, My guess is it will be similar to what mine says with some reference to Android version.

Copy what it says and save it in a text file somewhere for later use...

The issue maybe that Allcast is not giving a clear UserAgent reply to Plex. The one I'm seeing is a bit overly complicated and Allcast (like aVia) should have a setting to change the Useragent name in the App...Unfortunately Allcast doesn't have this setting. Something I'm sure Koush could easily fix.

What you can try to do is:

Open the Chromecast.xml file in a decent XML editor (I don't suggest a plan text editor but you can get by with it if thats all you have)

Where is says <Client name="Chromecast"> change the Chromecast to what we saved for useragent (leave out the UserAgent: of course)

Save the file as filename.xml (filename being the same as what you just replaced Chromecast with).

DO NOT modify, change or overwrite the Generic.XML! I know it sounds easier but could mess you up later on in life...Better to match the UserAgent properly.

Reboot your PMS machine to be sure it recognizes the new Profile and then see what happens with Allcast....

If it still doesn't work then we can look at the logs again and go from there...

And just to be clear, this will only work for that particular device if what I'm seeing here is correct.

We should write to Koush to see if he can't give us a clearer UserAgent report setting that we can use to match UserAgent and get the proper transcoding. It might even be nice if he added the ability to report to DLNA a useragent depending on what target device is selected.

So when the target is CCast Allcast reports itself as a Chromecast and Plex handles the proper transcoding.
[Google Chromecast] benzothegreat:
Yes! My generic.xml file is empty too...

Ok - mine says "User-Agent: Dalvik/1.6.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.4.3; Nexus 7 Build/KTU84L);"

ok - so should I say Client name="Dalvik/1.6.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.4.3; Nexus 7 Build/KTU84L);" ? and what should I call the filename? I can't put slashes etc in the filename?

ok will do! - thanks again Asphyx!
