[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEDEVIOUS1:
possible solution

please see below...i know u say that you're not rooted but if u are using custom kernel or recovery then this pertains to u too

if u are using cw/twrp/philz recovery and/or the sky high kernel then the custom images have broken your wifi...u can either install my SuperSamung V2 rom with the fix already included or edit your build prop by adding the line wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable then save & reboot

Sorry to revive an old thread, but i'm considering getting a Miracast dongle to feed powerpoint presentations to an office projector from my Tab S. Couple questions though:

1. Will it work?

2. Am I better off going the wired micro-usb-to-hdmi route?

I'd really rather go wireless so I can walk around and not worry about yanking the cable off in the middle of a meeting with top execs.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Why miracast instead chromecast? Chromecast works perfectly from the tablet or pc and has better support.

I just see miracast as a poor mans version of chromecast.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_be9300:
I'm also wondering about this.

For screen monitoring of e.g. games, photo viewing with Gallery of QuickPix, or tv streaming using an app provided by my cable company

I understood Chromecast is supposed to be especially good at showing content in the cloud. I forgot the exact list of supported services... Things like YouTube, picasa, Spotify, radio streams, Netflix? In this case, your tablet "refers" to the content, and chromecast does the actual downloading/streaming. Screen mirroring was added as an afterthought, and last I checked (hmm, 6 months ago) subject to a lot of disclaimers, supported only on some devices.

I understood Miracast is true screen mirroring, but the few receiver devices I looked at, mention technical limits, like (example) 15fps, which makes me doubt their use for video mirroring.

Thus I haven't bought anything yet :-\

More testimonies of miracast & Chromecast users could be interesting!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdbrn2000:
screen mirroring works fine with chromecast as long as you are not doing something effected by input/screen lag. Watching video from an app that is not natively supporting chromecasting (showbox...) is relatively simple. If you are on this forum you shoild have the ability to do it, just maybe not someone who can only facebook on their tab might have small issues. Casting pictures, slides, presentations or websites is fine too since there is no need to worry about the lag.

Gaming is annother story if you the person playing os wanting to use the tv screen then you have to pick a game with care. Any game that requires good to impossible timing (flappy anything or one finger death punch) is a great way for a masochist to have fun with out a sadist being in the room. Games that do not need fast timing like turn based strategy games or certain types of puzzle games are fine and work great. Even quite a few emulators work well like this but with the same game choice restrictions.

The screen lag you get is not anything like low fps it is input lag from the time difference it would take to simply send the information to your tablet vs the time it takes to send the information to your router and the router to send the information to the chromecast. I would assume miracast would suffer frome the same issues, though I haven't tried it yet.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_be9300:
Interesting.

Is both screen + audio sent to the Chromecast then? Or are there audio/video sync issues... If video happens on tv but lags behind the video+audio of the tablet...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdbrn2000:
The audio went out of the tv when I did a cast using cast screen. Most of the casting I do from my device uses uPnPlay a wonderful free app that is as good as most if not all the paid upnp apps (bubble upnp/ allcast). I have never had any issues with audio desync using that app.

when I did a sceen cast with show box I did have a streaming hicup (a slight stutter) once or twice but that may have been due to my old router (wrt54g) and not so much the chromecast.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Never had any sync issues casting with chromecast.

In most situations you would never have to screen cast as chromecast can pretty much cast anything web or local natively.

Presentations is really the only use I can see for screen casting.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_be9300:
as I mentioned earlier, my TV cable provider, has an app that streams live TV. We have a 2nd TV in the bedroom for which we don't have a decoder box, but I hope I could screenmirror the TV stream that I can get through the App (audio&video).
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdbrn2000:
It should work fine for that then. You may get the occasional hiccup depending on many things but for the most part I do not see any reason why it would not work for you.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_be9300:
So I caved and bought an Chromecast (CC)

Findings:

- screencast works fine most of the time. Transfers audio and video, and keeps good sync. But some applications cause a crash and reboot of the tablet (e.g. mirroring of MX Player playing a video)

- casting youtube works fine.

- the app I was most interested in (a TV streaming app of my local TV cable company) in fact does both Chromecasting, and works in screen casting mode. Hurray)

- good wifi reception is needed on both the tablet and the CC

and a general point

- according to reading around, it's not possible to use the CC without active internet connection, not even for local screencasting. Technically, it seems unnecessary to have an active internet connection on the WLAN that connects both the CC and the tablet (or pc), for local casting or screencasting. Read more at e.g. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromecast/XRktmNTk0QY

Sorry to take the thread off-topic from Miracast - but I think it's interesting to hear testimonies of both Chromecast and Miracast, to compare :)

[Windows RT General] BETA215:
Hello! :D

I want to port VLC player. What I need?

I know I need:

Visual Studio 2012 to port/compile the program.

A Windows PC in which I use Visual Studio.

And a Surface RT for testing purposes.

But what I need besides this? I desire to compile/port this program.
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
More skill than the VLC team that has been attempting to port it themselves for ~12 months?

In fairness, they're trying to port it as a WinRT (Windows Store) app, not a standard Win32 desktop app. But they're still needing to do crazy stuff with the compiler so forth. VLC *does not* currently compile under MSVC; it's apparently full of GCC-isms. GCC doesn't currently target Win32/ARM. You need to either get VLC to build under MSVC or GCC to target Windows RT before porting VLC will be possible.

Hopefully the latter happens. That would open up a ton of other software too; VLC is far from the only open-source program that is available for Windows but doesn't build under MSVC.

Hmm... I wonder if it builds under Clang? Getting Clang to target RT is probably easier than getting GCC to do so; Clang was designed to be easily hackable, while GCC is practically the opposite.
[Windows RT General] hisoft:
That a good news for me. Hope you success with VLC porting. If not. It maybe easier to write some GUI for FFplay for Windows RT.
[AT&T LG G2] jakeleclair2000:
So heres the story....wife has had lg g2 since it came out with 0 issues. About 3 days ago the phone starts doing some crazy ****, flipping through screens by itself, opening and closing apps, deleting things, rebooting, changing system settings. This was after earlier in the day she had downloaded some random games for my son to play (not sure if this was the cause/is at all relevant, just trying to be as detailed as possible).

My first though was that one of the games may have had some virus/malware **** going on, so did a factory reset. The reset was successful, however the issues continued. Next though was to root/unlock/install custom rom. (I have done this to all my phones, with minimal issues, so i felt fairly confident in doing so) So i rooted, installed twrp 2.7.0.0, and flashed this rom - ATT-stock-rooted-D80020K.zip - and all seemed well. Phone booted and behaved normally for the rest of the day (12 hours or so). Plugged in charger, went to sleep.

Next morning, wake up, grab phone, and its showing the LG logo (like when you first power it on). Restart (power button long press) and it boots into TWRP, and i go looking for the rom file to reflash, and its gone. All files are gone. In the file explorer in TWRP, i can see the files,(data, system, boot, and so on) but when i click on them there in nothing in any folder. All downloads gone. Everything.

But i can still get into TWRP, so i thought ok, ill just plug into pc, mount the phone, copy appropriate files, reflash rom, and all will be good. WRONG. I cannot get TWRP to mount the phone, and at this point ive got a pretty expensive paperweight.

All my unlock/flash/root experience has been on HTC devices up to this point, and i have never had an issue like this.

If anybody can advise what to do next, Im listening. Ive exhausted my knowledge on the subject at this point and NEED HELP PLEASE.

Thanks in advance.

I was annoyed that all the Google apps were tucked away in a folder and I searched in vain to find out how to disable them. Dragging didn't work, sorting by alphabetical didn't work, and user customized seemed to be the only way.

BUT IT ISN'T!

All you have to do is open the folder and press the + button to add more to the folder. Once you're in there, the apps already in the folder have checked boxes. Simply uncheck them and they're free!
[AT&T LG G3] Quasi Juice 21:

[AT&T LG G3] Skizzy034:
You also have to be in user customizable view in the app drawer to edit folders. If it alphabetically or another view then they can't be edited.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziaulh.ch:
THIS IS THE EASIEST SOLUTION FOR ACTIVATING GOOGLE NOW AND GOOGLE MAP NAVIGATION FOR THE COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE!

Check here if your country is already listed, if not then this is for you!

There are many countries like Bangladesh, India, Nepal and others, where Google now cannot be activated. The only reason begind this is google location reporting not available in this region As we see here Location in Google Settings Help center where it says

So, I searched and searched everywhere for a solution which didnt seem much impossible but actually there is no workbale solution found on the internet with those fake GPS blah blah!

So, I luckily found a solution myself which only will work on rooted device but will work like a charm!

Just install MARKET UNLOCKER from here

Open and enable unlocker

Slide to the left tab "Market" and select Russian MTK

Exit and reboot

Open playstore check if store is working with your new location host

If not then...

1. You’ll need Root Explorer

2. Set the file system to Mount r/w then navigate from the Root to System/etc.

3. Locate the “hosts” file (no extension) and delete the file

4. Reboot!

And now you open the Gnow and it will ask you to join Google now and you say I am in! :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidharthmirch:
Yes, factory reset your device without the SIM in, don' turn connect to WiFi and disable location. From there install a VPN (you can download one off a PC and put it on your phone. Then connect to WiFi and your VPN (Opera VPN works best for me) and then login to google. You might require a verification text to your Google account so have a brick/spare phone with your SIM inserted ready. Once logging in, it will prompt you to enable Google Now.

Once done disconnect from the VPN, put your SIM back in and reboot.

Ok, so I have a I337 from ATT with android kitkat, I rooted using towelroot, installed supersu, then installed Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01.apk.

[T-Mobile LG G3] helikido:
So guys I now have my new shiny LG g3 and Its spanking awesome except for one little issue. I can't get more than 4:30 screen on time? I've only had the phone for 3 days though so I'm not sure if that is the case or not. I heard the phones battery increases as time passes but I have not seen it yet. So I'm wondering, is it because I'm running stock? I am rooted but have not installed xposed or debloated my phone since there is no lag. But can it save battery if I do? And what are the best debloating apps out there. I tried greenify but it doesn't seem like it does anything. I don't think I know how to use it either. So far I'm happy with this phone and I'm looking forward to the future custom time coming out. Mmmmmm cant wait ?.

Also is there anyway to turn off the screen over sharpning? It hurts my eyes a little.
[T-Mobile LG G3] partylikeaninjastar:
Four and half hours screen time is about right.
[T-Mobile LG G3] JustLok:
There's no way to disable or reduce LG's oversharperning effect. Yet.

As for debloating, be sure to remove Carrier IQ, as that does use up battery and CPU with constant monitoring and sending, also, just for the sake of privacy.

You can try disabling other apps you don't use or need, such as some of the LG stock apps and Tmobile apps as well (disable or uninstall).

You can also freeze or disable certain other services that you might not want running.

You should download a CPU monitoring program (such as CPU Monitor) that tracks what's using your CPU and gives you an overall top 5 of process users, so you can track what is using your CPU (more CPU = less battery time).

Also check out a battery monitoring app as well (such as Battery Mix, amongst others), that tracks your battery usage (all uses of it, charge, discharge, modes, etc). and shows you the top users and apps that are tasking the battery.

There's also several threads in the T-Mobile section on debloating your G3 and removing Carrier IQ.

Oh yeah, don't forget to backup your phone before committing any changes.
[T-Mobile LG G3] jimmydigital00:
Could you possibly post a link to the carrier IQ thread? I cannot find it. I have titanium installed and have froze/uninstalled some apps but do not see anything called carrier iq.

Thanks for your help
[T-Mobile LG G3] JustLok:
Carrier IQ Removal <----- I used that link to do it manually, making copies then deleting the originals, reboot and then continue on to the next folders. I had no problems with it.

But, I did freeze all those processes before deleting them, as I heard those that did not kept getting popups saying it wasn't found.

And use Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector, as that not only shows you if CIQ is still there, but also its file path so you can track it down and delete it. Keep running it after you finish a section or think you're done so you can find out if any are still there or running.

That link is the post I used to get rid of CIQ successfully with no problems.

As always, make a backup before you make any changes or commit!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cconcepts:
Just got my note 3 yesterday and I am no stranger to rooting, roms and everything in between. However I've never owned a Samsung phone before either so I need some help. I've been reading through the forums but things are still a bit fuzzy. I am assuming my phone is on nc4 according to what my settings say. 4.4.2. I rooted using towel root and such is up and running. Safe strap installed. I have also downloaded Odin and a stock 4.4.2 system image file for a restore if need be. Now do I need to flash a nc2 kernel before I flash any roms? How is that done?

Thanks man I greatly appreciate it!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afro Samurai:
Okay, I'm assuming you're on NC4 since you used Towelroot. You can flash roms but since the bootloader is locked no CM, AOSP, AOKP or Miui as far as I know. No custom kernels yet either so don't try to run any apps that change the governor or CPU frequencies. It may happen in time but not yet...:fingers-crossed:

Beans has a guide here and roms in this link read the first two posts : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2787627

Modems, you're on the NC4 modem but we can change modems even though our bootloader is locked. You flash them in Odin. Put your phone in download mode and flash the modem in the ap slot. Modems can be found here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47400062&postcount=1

You may want to stay on the NC4 modem. I took the NC2 leak from 4.3 and that modem didn't work well for me at all. I'm on NC2 with the NC4 modem. Modems depend on your phone and your location. Some people haven't seen a difference in NC2 vs NC4, some people went all the way back to the MJE modem. It's something you have to try for yourself but if your signal is good then leave it.

You put on safestrap so you're good there. Don't even try clockwork mod or rom manager. Safestrap is cool in the fact that you have rom slots. You can put roms in different slots and switch back and forth with wiping and reflashing. Kinda like dual booting your computer with OS X and bootcamp or Windows and Linux. Right now the rom slots work but people have had battery issues using anything but the stock rom slot so for right now use the stock rom slot and it's like old school flashing, there can be only one for now (Highlander reference). As of right I wouldn't dirty flash anything make sure it's a clean wipe.

Next, the rom you chose to use is pure personal preference, they're all good just make sure you read the OP and browse the threads to get an idea. If you get stuck just post a question. The crowd for the Note 3 has been the most courteous and helpful since I've been on XDA.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afro Samurai:
You should be fine, alot of the bootloops come from being on Nc2 and hitting reboot to recovery on the power menu. There's a fix for it but I just haven't done it yet. If safestrap is on and working properly just reboot your phone and wait for the safestrap screen and hit the recovery button. If you bootloop hitting reboot to recovery just pull the battery. Reboot to download mode and reboot to system from there.

Now is this because I did something during re-assembly of the housing OR is there something in the ROM's that disables the hardware somehow??
