[Google Chromecast] r.storm85:
Sup guys. I was wondering if anybody noticed that some of the recent updates changed the Netflix casting in a bad way in my op.

Before I use to be able to press the cast button and choose one of my chromcasts. Then play something. Then I could press the cast button and choose "this device" and play some thing on my phone and it would still play whatever I chose on the Chromecast. If I wanted to change what was playing on the Chromecast I would just press the cast button and change it. Then press the cast button and go back to my phone. Now if I cast something to the chromcast and then switch to my phone it starts playing on my phone and shuts off the Chromecast. This is a step backwards in my op. And I hate it. Now I need a separate device to control each of my two chromecasts. Anybody else notice this and know which version it changed in?
[Google Chromecast] r.storm85:
Did nobody notice this?
[Google Chromecast] varun.c.jain:
Sounds like the correct expected behaviour... It was always this way for me... if I say "Play on this device", then I would mean "Play on this device" and not "Play on this device and the Chromecast at the same time"... or do you disagree?
[Google Chromecast] extrem0:
I 2nd that last post. You probably had a buggy version. Or your phone was losing connection with chromecast. You can try killing netflix, turning WiFi off or rebooting your phone.
[Google Chromecast] r.storm85:
No your misunderstanding.

Old app:

Open Netflix

Press cast,choose Chromecast one

Pick something to play for my son on tv1. Good.

Press cast,choose Chromecast 2

Pick something to see play for my wife on tv2. Good

Press cast,choose this device.

Watch something on my phone.

New app

Open Netflix

Press cast,choose Chromecast one

Pick something on tv1.

Good

Press cast, choose Chromecast 2.

Whatever was playing on Chromecast one switches to chromcast 2.

Done

Now u need a device for every Chromecast. No?
[Google Chromecast] varun.c.jain:
I understood you in the first time itself... but you should realize that the Netflix app is supposed to double as a Chromecast remote when it is casting... in your scenario you are expecting that the Netflix app should just disconnect itself from the entire process once casting has begun... so that you are free to do other stuff, including sending other casts... you will see the same behaviour with other apps like Youtube too... so it is not like Netflix is doing something different... and yes, it does mean, you need one device per Chromecast, if you want to be using both of them at the same time... I think the intention of this functionality was more like this:

Single guy comes home, fixes a drink and sits on his couch, turns on living room TV, opens the Netflix app on his mobile phone and starts casting Breaking Bad S05E07 to "Living Room TV"

He needs to go badly to the loo after the burrito he had on the way... so he walks towards the WC and on the way opens the Netflix app on his mobile phone and selects to play on "This device"... the show continues where he left from while he happily relieves himself...

Once he is done, he pauses the show on his mobile, cleans up, pulls up his pants, leaves for the bedroom, and switches on the bedroom TV... by this time, the living room TV has powered off because it was idle for so long (always a good idea)... he kicks of his shoes, gets on the bed and opens the Netflix app on his mobile phone and starts casting to "Bedroom TV"... and it all continues like the show never stopped...

Does this scenario explain how the app was supposed to work with multiple Chromecasts?
[Google Chromecast] r.storm85:
Yes I understand that concept. Which in the old app it wouldn't switch automatically. But I think this is a downgrade and all cast apps should be like this. I mean how bad do you have to watch TV while walking all through your house? Who does that? Lol.
[Google Chromecast] gianptune:
In this scenario, what happens if you want to pause, stop, rewind, or seek on tv1? What about tv2? Did your chromecast somehow let you control both of the tvs from one phone once the shows had started?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Actually the remote functionality should not be required for a stream to continue playing....The two CCasts should continue to play regardless of what the device that started the stream does. (pressing stop being the exception.)

So the way the old app worked was correct.

I would contact Netflix and explain your problem to them....Lots of people have had issues with Netflix recently which says to me they did some major work to the App....Probably due to all their fights with ISPs on Net Neutrality.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
LOL I resemble that remark.

I can be watching something on the TV in the living room, but then it's bedtime and I take my kiddo into the bedroom and then have to switch the movie over to my phone since my kid wants to watch their bedtime TV. One kiddo is sound asleep, I move the playback to the bedroom TV and continue watching.

Seems there are two models in conflict:

Play on ____

This model is content-centric. You choose content from the client device and choose where to play it.

The content state (playback position) can transfer to whatever device is chosen to play it without needing to remember it somewhere in the cloud or account as it is taken from the current playback device.

This model does not allow a single client device to cast to multiple players from the same app, as connecting to a different player will move the content onto that player.

Connect to ___ / Control ____

This model is player-centric. You choose a player to control from the client device, then you direct it to content.

A single client device can send different content to different players.

Multiple clients can "peek into" and control a specific player.

The second model allows more flexibility but IMO it can also be confusing to the operator since disconnecting from a player doesn't stop the player, when the client device is already playing a title and the player it's trying to connect to is also playing a title, not sure what to do - does the client's title move to the player, or does the client's title get suspended (and remembered somewhere) until disconnected.
[Google Chromecast] r.storm85:
Yes if I was watching on my device and I want to change tv1 or 2 I press pause. Then press cast, select the TV I want and I can change seek stop..whatever I want. Then press cast go back to my device and press play..as it would still be paused.
[Google Chromecast] tsew2674:
Tough call, depends on how you use your devices to know what's going to be most convenient
[Google Chromecast] r.storm85:
Ya. The thing that sucks is they changed it. Would be fine if it only worked one way. Wouldn't know the difference. But its like they took a feature away.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Looks like they're conforming the behavior across apps so things are easier to explain and support.

I might still be able to achieve your desired behavior if you start a stream then kill the Netflix app and run it again. But once you connect to a device that is already playing you're "attached" to that content again.
[Google Chromecast] r.storm85:
I found the old apk if anybody wants to try it

[Q] LG E980 bricked during interr. OTA on rooted stock phone. AT&T want to go stock

Hello All!

Call me completely retarded if it's warranted, i'm usually better with these things. here is the current situation:

(1) LG E-980 Optimus G Pro - Stock AT&T ROM. Never an OTA updade, purchased 01/2014 in MD, USA.

TWRP v2.6.3.0 installed. Rooted. SuperSU and busybox, current. TWRP "restore" does not restore from the full backup i had performed. Stuck in a boootloop between "LG Logo, and then quickly in the top right corner "Secure Boot Error Cause: Device UnLock, So Boot Success!!!" and then it's off to TWRP in recovery. Any advice there would be foremost appreciated, as that'd allow me to properly restore to pre-brick state, and install CWM, if it's more reliable, etc.

I can get into Download mode, and have followed THIS post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2302660

but I had problems getting my laptop to assign the cell a "COM Port"

and besides Download Mode, there's ADB Sideload in TWRP thats usable, no? should I use this and how is this possible?

I've a few backups, TWRP and CWG, and also a stock .tot and .dll from the above mentioned thread. Does anybody know how to get past the "secure Boot Error" bootloop and get ANY ROM installed? ANY help would be much appreciated!

I've been at it at least ten hours, and realized I probably should have asked here fist ;) banging my head against the wall, this is a wonderful phone, and i'd hate to see it dead, i mean it's literally ALL there still. TWRP recovery has a file manager.

On my desktop (and on the device) the TWRP back-up files are there, just shy of four GB, and i've also grabbed the stock .tot file, and i would LOVE someone to give me a hand straightening this particular mess out, and i'll offer another a quid pro quo in a field i'm vastly more well-versed in.

Thank you for reading the FNG's post. Greetings!

My computer wont see my HTC One X. I just purchased this phone used today. Seems to be on Stock ATT 4.12 rom.

I have tried two different computers. One running XP one with Windows 7. They see my HTC One (M7) just fine but they dont see this HTC One X. Do you think there is something possibly wrong with the phone? The phone seems to be charging through the USB. If it was a driver issue I dont see why the HTC One M7 would connect. I have tried installing HTC Sync also the all in one toolkit drivers.

In fastboot it shows fastboot ac instead of fastboot usb

ATT ? check your bootloader please, when it says EVITA you are in the wrong forum. The HTC One XL AT&T would be the correct one.

I thought, bad rom and I put the latest KK nameless, but same thing! Now I went back to ICS and the problem still persists!

It happens only when I reboot, let the screen go off and then turn the screen on with the power button. Have to reboot by pressing the power button for a while.

Touch etc works fine, just the screen.

What could be the problem here?

Hello, I was just wondering the best way to root the AT&T Samsung Note SGH-I717. I have looked up many ways but every time I scroll down to the comments I read everyone is having problems. I would just like the best and most proven way to root the phone. I use the phone with straight talk, it is an unlocked att phone, will rooting the phone affect anything with Straight Talk? I am new to rooting so please be detailed and give me links to get everything I need. Thank You so much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
so here is the deal, here are 2 methods with very subtle differences. you didn't say what your phone was running now, so here are my suggestions.......

READ, READ, READ

I know you are new here, and I was once too. I went through all of this and was very nervous about the process. (no real reason to be)

I spent a good 2 weeks reading so I would feel confident about what I was doing. I would read through these and figure which is better for you or which you feel more confident in using. they would both work fine depending on your situation or what you phone is running. because these threads are older, you may run into an issue as to where the download files are not active anymore. that is where a recent Google search could come into play. you say you have read the comments for different methods have had negative results. problem is you don't know whether that person followed the directions correctly or whether they were just in a hurry and missed something.

that's why I posted both these threads. compare to what you have read. I have a habit of going to the back of the threads and read forward. this tells me what the most recent problems may have been and if there is a solution. though the files may or may not be active, you can always get the file. its the PROCESS which is correct. compare them.

as I said........... READ, READ, READ

it puts you in the situation to help yourself first

take your time, do as the process suggests. I even rehearsed it several times. due to my lack of experience, I wanted to be as prepared as possible in case something went wrong.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1504218

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518962

both of these threads are from very reputable members of the community. as all threads will suggest......they are NOT responsible for what you do. make sure you are ready. watch Youtube tutorals, compare processes, have your files loaded and where you have easy access, read and rehearse.

take your time

whatever you need to do to feel confident. if something goes wrong....KNOW what you are going to do next. if you don't know where you went wrong in process or deviated from it, then others cant help.

good luck and I hope I have helped

edit.......

just saw this...this is at the back of Da G 's thread. suggested by AGOATTAMER. he is the man when it comes to having old links to process. this IS the one I used, that I couldn't find.

Then I tried to install cwm but failed (at that time I didn't realize that cwm for kitkat hasn't been released ). I got secure boot error when I try to go into recovery but still can use my phone.

I am in the planning stages of creating a social experiment. I am trying to see if it is feasible to develop an app for android to accompany participants using the parameters below. Nothing is set in stone. More could be added as options become available. If you care to know more, just ask. If you can help, that would be a plus.

Android app parameters:

Google Maps Api for proximity alerts to allow a participants to know when a clue is near and for an on-screen visual aid.

Ability to communicate with other app holders whether through text or speech

Integration with G+ - to publicly post what they have found

Ability to track other players real time (ability to disable public player tracking.)

Ability to create a profile to be shared via NFC

Minimize the need for a server to cache information

Minimize graphics

Utilize NFC to collect necessary information at physical locations.

The ability to edit data on a bracelet with an NFC chip embedded within.

The ability to track actions and locations(only when at game designated public locations)

Not sure if I want to embed information in the app or retrieve it on a server. (Information will change on a regular basis.)

Hello folks from XDA! That's you, yes, you! Hello!

I recently discovered GeoGuessr which is a popular web game where you are given random street view images and you have to guess where you are on a map. It was loads of fun, and I thought about bringing the game to Android so we can all enjoy the challenge on the go!

What is it? Well, EarthGuesser is an educational puzzle game that takes you to a random Google Street View location around the world and challenges you to guess its location on a map. From the most remote roads in the Amazon to crowded shopping malls and museums, the game trains your awareness of surroundings while offering you breathtaking views. It's perfect for geography nerds or people who want to explore the planet.

Every round, you will land on a random spot and you can walk around and use hints like the landscape or the traffic signs to help you make a correct guess. Try to guess as closely as possible to the actual location to score the most points! But watch out, spending too much time guessing and you risk a hefty score penalty!

The game comes with two modes, Standard and Time Limit, that allows you to play the game at your pace or against the clock. Sign in to Google Games to compete with your friends for points in the global leaderboard and earn achievements as you play.

I thought you guys would enjoy this. Pictures after the break:

Link to Play Store

This is my first game although I have been creating Android Apps for a while now.

I would love some feedback on the game if you guys have any!

- I get a lot of forced closes. It happens every time I want to view the summary after the game.

Other than that, cool app!
