Okay thanks. I will test cloning.

But, if you are correct and most networks have AP Isolation preventing CC, then I need an alternative solution.

------

I was intrigued by this post. But configuring an TL-WR703N with "openwrt+luci web interface" is not clear to me. Yet, this seems a possible good solution.

Also, browsing this link at Cisco made me think what user [MENTION=2541018]bagl0312[/MENTION] accomplished is quite good.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I think there are better options for Remote usage such as Portable routers with the ability to connect to other wireless AP devices for it's WAN,

Or if you already have a cellular data account for your phone, adding one of those MiFi wireless hotspot devices that you can use as a router pretty much anywhere including where there is no free WiFi.

You just have to be careful with the latter option because Data Charges will apply if you use too much Internet access on them.
[Google Chromecast] Bob Smith42:
Does anyone have any recommended models for *portable* routers with "wifi as wan" capability?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
You're looking for what's typically known as a "travel router" and the "WiFi as WAN" feature, as least on my Zyxel routers is called "WISP mode" (Wireless ISP).

It does exactly what you said, instead of using a wired connection for WAN, it uses a wireless connection - the router still functions as a router, so you might have some issues with double-NAT-ing in some cases.

I have both the MWR211 (single Ethernet port so you can do wired LAN or wired WAN but not both simultaneously) and MWR222 (two Ethernet ports, so you can do both wired LAN and WAN simultaneousl) - they're almost identical, save for lacking SNMP on the MWR211. I have not had opportunity to use the WISP mode though I've used the 3G (they support most USB cell modems) as backup from time to time.

Info's a little lacking since they're discontinued models, but I got them off a Woot deal while back for under $50.

MWR211/222 manual
[Google Chromecast] Bob Smith42:
This information was helpful. I read the manual. I will have to test the double-NATing with CC, e.g. issues with WAN accessing private vs public network IP as described in the manual. I found an inexpensive MWR222 to evaluate.

I suspect its wireless WAN mode will help, but when set in that mode it looks like it may not (guess) simultaneously have hotspot capability. Still, in that case, I can connect a small AP to its Ethernet LAN and probably get the CC working. I will test my hypothesis and report CC results once I receive the device.

I also found an inexpensive TL-WR703N with memory updates (RAM, Flash) that is supposed to support OpenWrt. I will flash it with OpenWrt once I get it and report CC results. Hopefully, I can reproduce [MENTION=2541018]bagl0312[/MENTION] configuration with CC with success.

I am starting to understand the networking issues and configurations required. Everyone's help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
You wouldn't want hotspot capability if you are using it in WAN mode anyway since you will be using the Wireless internet connection from the location and not the data plan of your Cell Service.

Thats why you want the WAN/WISP option in the first place to stop from having to eat into your Data Allotment on your Cell Carrier account.
[Google Chromecast] Bob Smith42:
No. I need both, unless someone figures out another workaround (see below).

The CC has two requirements:

(1) connect to public IP (internet) for data, and

(2) connect to local IP (android devices, chrome on laptops, iphones, etc) for remote control and mirroring.

CC configurations issues with WiFi services offering access to public IP (internet) are:

(1) Both open or encrypted networks frequently have web page click-through requirements that CC cannot perform, and

(2) CC and connecting WiFi devices must connect point-to-point on the local IP network which is frequently blocked (AP isolation, etc).

I agree with you because I do not *want* a dual WiFi network solution, but I have found no alternatives so far. lol

We can engineer a dual WiFi network solution for sure, but it might be easier to address some of the core usability issues of the CC in some other (more clever) way. Some other workarounds might include combinations from (or may not be possible):

(1) Cloning MAC on CC to bypass click-through requirements.

(2) Add BT capability on CC. Overcome AP isolation on the local IP network using high bandwidth BT for remote control and screen mirroring.

(3) Add browser capability on CC for click-through, and mouse or touch control for CC.

(4) Clever method to defeat WiFi local IP network AP isolation between CC and devices.

(5) Others?

Hopefully someone is already working on better solutions.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
But the Router will do the proper NAT Translation for you for the Internet access...

When the CCast asks for something from the internet it asks the portable router then the portable router will use the location WiFi to get it and then send it to the CCast.

The CCast doesn't need a public IP it only needs to be connected to a device that can get internet data.

what you do have to do however is use a different IP Range on the DHCP server of the portable router...

So if the Router gets an IP like 192.168.1.x from the WiFi you have to use a different set like 192.168.2.x for your DHCP server...
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
[MENTION=4126120]Bob Smith42[/MENTION] 's concern is valid, I didn't think about the fact that WLAN as WAN takes out the AP functionality. I just confirmed this. ;)

So, really what we end up needing is still two devices - a wireless bridge to get wireless to wired - either a router in WISP mode or something like Cisco/Linksys WET610N (I keep laughing at the "Up to 300 Mbps" as it only has a 100 Mbps Ethernet port), and a router to provide the AP...

IMO, the "local WiFi" network really is the best way to go. It may seem redundant at times, but at least you can still do stuff if you have no WiFi, or WiFi is paid per-client (it's changing, but a number of hotels I've been at were like this).

As for other mechanisms, maybe the "Don't need to be on the same WiFi" feature that's coming will address this, but I don't think it will. Then again, I didn't think screen casting would happen on older hardware like my Galaxy S3, and it does (via MirrorEnabler), so maybe I'll be pleasantly proved wrong again. :)
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Well then I stand corrected and have to add thats just bad design...You should be able to to simply connect the Portable to the WiFi and then use it as your Wireless AP for multiple devices otherwise what is the point of this WISP mode at all? Unless it is to turn Wireless into Wired only...

Google does have a solution to solve this in the pipeline...That Proximity streaming we talked about where you can stream to it over Cell data without being connected to the home network.

But thats just going to ring up data charges I would think.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
That's exactly what WISP is for. The MWR2xx series mainly takes a wired/wireless ISP connection and turns it into a wireless/wired connection with USB modem backup.

The MWR222 can also do wired-wired with USB failover since it has two Ethernet ports.

Given the age of the design I'm not sure the WiFi chip they use can operate as both client and AP simultaneously.
[Google Chromecast] Bob Smith42:
bump

Thread updated. TL-WR710N works 100% with CCast on all (tested so far) WiFi networks.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Thats how I understood those Portable routers were supposed to work so you could add things like Portable Wireless printers all the while having internet access from configured Wireless APs...
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Ok so I picked up this 710N router on Amazon since I had a gift certificate I needed to use and while the promise of this router seems to be there I'm having real issues getting it to work properly but part of that has to do with it really requires a WIRED Connection to set up properly.

It does seem to do what we would need in a Hotel but I have not been able to mimic that on this unit using my own router and I'm suspecting that maybe my Router is not supporting it or I'm just reading the settings wrong.

I'll keep trying here and see what it requires...I Might need to set up the guest network cause the issue might be the click through is not there or my regular router is set to NOT allow another AP to connect...Just got it today so I will continue to play with it.
[Google Chromecast] Bob Smith42:
Rest assured, it works great for me. E.g. when I was at Starbucks (requires click through, has AP isolation) I got CCast working with WISP on my private SSID. Testing a few corporate locations today. The CCast took a while to *finish* setup, it hung first time. So I pulled power and tried twice. Second time worked. Not very scientific, sorry. I definitely used my laptop to click through on Starbucks and I was wired during setup. I will attempt to run some configuration tests non-wired too (thanks for update). The big advantage of the 710N is inexpensive, if you have AC power source.

Also, I found another awesome portable router, better for CCast in my situation but also more expensive, e.g. $60 USD. I configured this one completely non-wired.

-----

UPDATE: The HooToo TM04 does *not* work on certain networks. Do Not Buy!!! Read below...

------

HooToo TM04 product webpage here, and amazon here. It is a really new item.

This item costs $60 USD on amazon. It has 6000 mah battery and without external power it can power two USB items (1) CCast plus second USB item (like phone, tablet, drive, pico projector, etc). Has two battery recharging modes: wall AC (faster) or microUsb. Lots of other features. Good review videos on YouTube here.

Good luck.

# TL-WR710N

I configured my CCast on another network (so it required reconfiguration at Starbucks) and took it back to Starbucks. I plugged the TL-WR710N into AC power, without wiring anything on NIC WAN nor LAN, and waiting about 2 minutes. Since I had already configured the 710N for WISP mode it restarted in that mode. It was the *same* location I had previously configured WISP, so that probably helps. (I will test WISP on new location tonight).

At this point I tried CCast setup. I connected my Nexus 7 (2013) to the 710N WiFi SSID. Using the Nexus 7 I attempted to setup the CCast, and completed all the input configuration screens. But, the Setup screen *hangs* after confirming name and entering my WiFi SSID password. By hanging I mean the CCast app big circle keeps spinning and after about 5 minutes returns an error. But, this error is wrong because the CCast device is actually configured and working.

I must perform the Starbucks click-through on the Nexus 7 2013 to register the 710N MAC address to access the internet.

While the CCast app circle is spinning I switched to YouTube and it casts perfectly. Also, I can screen cast the Nexus 7 2013. I tried a couple tricks but the CCast app never successfully *completed* setup, yet the CCast device works 100%. Hmmmm.

# HooToo TM04

-----

UPDATE: The HooToo TM04 does *not* work on certain networks. Do Not Buy!!! Read below...

------

So, I substituted the HooToo TM04 at Starbucks. The configuration was completely wireless (never used NIC cables) and basically the CCast app setup completed successfully! All the CCast device features (YouTube internet cast, local Nexus 7 2013 screen cast) worked 100%. Very simple and smooth configuration with no glitches.

# Summary

The difference was only the CCast app setup result, The 710N *hangs* with a spinning circle and eventually returns an error dialog, but the CCast device is configured and working 100%. The HooToo completes setup correctly, and CCast device is configured and working 100%.

I am now wondering if there is a setting on the TL-WR710N required to allow CCast app setup to complete successfully (even though the CCast device is configured and working)?

I will test further. Any comments or feedback requested.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Chromecast setup app has done the same to me a few times - and that's on my home WiFi that works fine.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, I think it's just some kind of timing glitch.

As long as exiting and returning to the Chromecast setup app reports Ready to Cast and Chromecast works, it's good to go.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Oh I'm sure it does work Bob, I'm just missing something and what makes it worse is I was trying to do this all through Wireless and a mobile device which this unit is difficult to setup with.

I set up WISP mode but the issue is on reboot it didn't give me an SSID to reconnect.

I'm sure I'm just borking something in the settings so when I have the chance to do this all via wired connection I will play with it a bit more...

There are many people with the Gear 1 - rooted- and a phone not running Android 4.3

I've looked at various apps/workarounds for the SMS notification problem because the Gear Manager does not send any notifications to the watch.

Has anyone found a stable way to forward automatically SMS notifications from a non-4.3 Android phone to the Gear 1 device?

Thanks again!

I've made a tasker setup bit it requires Tasker and autoremote both which isn't free. And it's a bit power hungry on the phone.

Tablet Talk on the play store. Works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasonJ1968:
Does Tablet Talk install on the Gear and the phone? (according to Play store, it's not compatible with the Gear)

Thanks in advance,

Jason
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasonJ1968:
Would you be willing to describe how this is done?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Artimis:
Yes, it installs on both. Install on phone through the play store and then you need to push the apk from the phone to the gear. This is much easier if the phone is rooted. It can still be done if it isn't rooted though.

I can provide simple instructions if needed.

I was using tablet talk for a long time between my phone and MotoActv and have been using it with my gear for about a month now. Extremely reliable for both SMS and MMS.

Alternatively, you could use SWapp Links on the market as well. I also believe there is an SMS client/server app that was developed for the gear and available in the Apps and Themes forum section you could try.

Personally, I still prefer Tablet Talk to all of these options
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasonJ1968:
I've been trying to install Tablet Talk on the Gear, but while installing on the Gear, the installer throws an error: "App not Installed."

Any ideas? I am also checking some older threads on this forum that might be helpful... looks tough.

Jason
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Artimis:
Would need to see the exact error in the logcat to be able to troubleshoot further. What installation method are you using to get the apk from phone to gear?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasonJ1968:
Thank you for your help. How do I find the logcat?

I used Bluetooth file transfer from the phone to the Gear, and then used File Explorer to see the APK and install it. The Tablet Talk installer DOES INDEED start an installing process, but after asking for permissions, it kaks out.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Artimis:
Easiest way to access the logcat output is through adb shell and then typing logcat and observe the output during install.

I guess my other questions are

1) What phone/OS version has the original apk. I don't think it makes that much of a difference but I do know sometimes market downloads vary for specifuc devices

2) on the gear, are you using ES File Explorer? If not, consider downloading that app specifically

3) when installing, are you given an install option (e.g. use Google verify apps to install)? If so, this potentially could be blocking it. I would use ES installer

4) is your gear stock rooted or are you running Null ROM? I know I'm running Null_23 and everything works. I'm wondering if there are some ancillary services included with null ROM that tablet talk requires and checking for upon install
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 440bro:
Logcat is a method of logging processes. There's several apps that capture process info. Basically you open the app and start a logging session. Then immediately you perform the task your having trouble with. Stop the log session and read the report.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=scd.lcex
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasonJ1968:
Thanks again.

1. The original apk was downloaded to/from a stock Galaxy Note 1 phone running JellyBean

2. I tried ES File Explorer... same problem at the end of the process "App not installed"

3. There are no install options offered on the watch--- the installer starts immediately and kakks out immediately after.

4. My Gear is rooted with null ROM like yours...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Artimis:
Are you using a legit copy of tablet talk? This is the line that is concerning me. It indicates the APK was not signed properly. I do know there were some issues with legit signed apk files and old versions of the play store.

With that said, I would

1) Ensure you have a copy of the latest legit Tablet Talk apk

2) Are using ES file explorer to install

3) Do not use the google verify apps option when installing.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasonJ1968:
Yes I was using a legit copy of TT !! But I also used an app called MyAppSharer to transfer the apk

So, I tried downloading it again from the Play Store onto my Galaxy Note Tablet --- as opposed to my Galaxy Note Phone.

This time, I got a different apk-- and installing it gave a different error-

The error is "error parsing package."
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Artimis:
Is your Galaxy Note rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasonJ1968:
No, neither my Note Phone nor my Note Tablet are rooted. Only my Gear is rooted.

I wonder if there is a way to change my camera from portrait to landscape. Thats all I need. I believe sombody will answer me soon. THX
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Brazilian Joe:
Uh, just rotate it 90° clockwise or counterclockwise. That seems to do the trick for me...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] gangstaunitg:
It doesnt work with this trick. If yes I wouldnt ask for help ;|
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
Well I sure dont know of a way to do it.

for my own personal intrest why would you want to do that in the first place?

I have a sony camera and that option is not given to me and it cost me as much as my BA, I can't phone with it (BUT DOES IT EVER TAKE BETTER SHOTS).
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] gangstaunitg:
I just want to see what I am shooting at entire display. It can be cool, what u think ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
maybe the guys which are working on coolcamera app will make BA version of it and we will have a solution for your problem, but we will have to wait until then
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Brazilian Joe:
I did a little joke about the question, because the wording was a bit ambiguous. What he wants is to make the image preview show up in fullscreen, in landscape mode. It might be possible with a different camera software, but I think the one used in our roms do not support it. Personally, I am fine with our camera, for me it would be weird to see the picture rotated 90° when taking shots. What I would like to see is a more finger-friendly touch interface for the camera...
[Sprint LG G3] mrush:
Got this one from T-Mobile for 35$ after I freaked because I dropped my phone. The guy said it has an ''airbag deployment'' system that goes off when you drop your phone.. Haha. Not sure how true that is but I will definitely give kudo points for the marketing plan.
[Sprint LG G3] 't-Smalle:
I have this case and it is absolutely amazing. I like it much better then my Otterbox.
[Sprint LG G3] piaa_nissan:
I've had their cases for two Notes in the past and actively seek them out when I get a new phone. Great, durable cases and they give phones a nice solid feel.
[Sprint LG G3] dakoellis:
Just picked up this case after seeing this thread. Just a quick review:

Came from a Spigen Slim Armor. I really like the look of that case, but it is damn slippery. I pulled the phone out of my pocket one time and dropped it on asphalt. The phone somehow came out of the case after the initial impact and cracked the glass cover I had on the phone and put a little bit of road rash on the phone itself. Sure, the case help protect the phone from some of the damage in the fall it had, but I'd argue that the case caused the drop in the first place.

Compared to the Slim Armor, The Tech21 case is thinner, and has a textured feel compared to the smooth feel if the Slim Armor case. I wouldn't say that necessarily makes it less slippery. It might be a bit better, but It's more slippery than I would expect by looking at it. The ports on the Tech21 are more open, which means I can actually use my headphones with a thicker port. It also seems to fit the phone a bit more snuggly, which means hopefully it doesn't fall off If I happen to drop the phone again.

Since it's thinner, I don't really like the way it sits in the hand as well, although I am usually against what people seem to like more often and prefer something that has a fuller hand feel.

All in all, I'd call it a decent case, albiet a bit overpriced. I'm still holding out hope that UAG comes out with a case for the G3, because The Case I had for my note II was probably the best case I've used.
[Sprint LG G3] matt406regal:
I'm waiting on uag also. Great cases
