I would love for anyone to help me wifi cast my OnePlus One screen using a wifi hdmi dongle as I found out my One plus does not support ANY MHL at all. I used the Chromecast and I was able to cast it to the 4000NEX but the displayed pic on the touch screen was just one corner of my phone's display. Would never resize to show my phone's full screen.

I used the same method as a test on my 37" TV, no problem, my entire phone's screen would display just not on the 4000NEX.
[Android General] stalls:
Does anyone have a good write up or very simple way to get chrome cast to work on 4000nex with a verizon note 3 running hyperdrive custom rom with ARunchained Reloaded app? I have it running with the cables but I want to run wireless.... It also seems very laggy at times when in mirror mode on the deck and sometimes very jumpy. BTW anyone have any good color settings with brightness and stuff?

2 other things. ... Is there a recents button on the 4000nex while running the ARunchained app (like pressing the home button on the phone itself? The other question I have is there a way to play music ( I know the pandora app) like HD radio or anything while in the screen mirror?
[Android General] Dharmaboy75:
There is a user who replied in this thread of doing it via mixmode but that was through an MHL adapter. I am sure Mixmode will work while casting and then you connect via bluetooth.

Okay to get Chromecast to cast over you have to setup chromecast first BEFORE hooking it up to your deck via HDMI.

What I did was

connect the chromecast to your tv with power usb

get screencast or the free screen mirroring app on your phone

with a laptop or home computer get via a browser connect your chromecast to your WIFI

start the casting your phone as a adhoc wifi (basically uses your data plan to give another wifi device internet)

now via the browser tell the chromecast to search for new wifi signals (here is hoping your phone is casting now)

connect to it and if successful you should be able to cast your phone screen on the TV

once that works, just disconnect from TV, go to your car, still making sure your phone wifi adhoc access point is still running

when chromecast starts up with your car running it should go "Oh hello, wifi device i was last connected to." and will connecto to your phone casting wifi
[Android General] stalls:
I notice that the screen is a lil to larger on the device I am trying to cast to from my phone. Anyway to fix that? Like its to zoomed in?
[Android General] Dharmaboy75:
Yes I had the exact same issue. you can install 2nd Screen app and get it to resize the casting output. I tried to get this to work but it was tricky. Also you will have to plug your phone in for sure or the Wifi Casting will drain the battery faster depending on your trip length. I did have an issue where the last version of 2nd screen was kinda not working properly. Give this version a shot and let us know.
[Android General] stalls:
Do u happen to have ur settings handy? I cannot get it to work properly no matter what resolution I put it on... It is majorly zoomed in in the upper left.
[Android General] Dharmaboy75:
I never got a chance to try, i tried for a bit and had to return the chromecast on amazon before the 30 day trial time for returns had past. I will have to give it a shot in the spring. its like -25C out here and its tough to try this in the car when its freezing outside.
[Android General] stalls:
You ever have a chance to check out anything for a solution for the super zoomed in screen?
[Android General] Dharmaboy75:
Since I had a limited time to return the Chromecast on Amazon, I had to return it and it was getting too cold with winter. My next step is to use my wife's Chromecast to test.
[Android General] stalls:
ok let me know when you get a chance.. I have tried several different ways to no avail...

Also here is something very interesting.. http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/80945-upgrading-nex4000-to-nex4100-work-in-progress/
[Android General] stalls:
Ill be happy to report that I preformed the latest update to my chromecast and it works great with screen resolution! well not perfect. It has a slight hesitation for touch controls and when u turn it a certain way in landscape mode it its the complete opposite for touch controls yet again. But hey its wireless and working somewhat properly!
[Android General] KamielGT30R:
Hey guys im new to this forum and had a quick question. I bought my 4000NEX off amazon and i bundled it with a parking brake bypass. I have my phone connected with a genuine samsung MHL adaptor. I have got everything to work fine except it keeps connecting and disconnecting from the hdmi cable. My question is, do i need the bypass with this app or can i use it without it? Im thinking that is why it keeps connecting and disconnecting. Thanks in advanced.
[Android General] Dharmaboy75:
Yup , You need the bypass or it wont work properly. I had my install guy do the bypass in the glove box of my Mazda 3. Appradio would throw the ebrake warning and I hit the button on the bypass and go past it all.
[Android General] Dharmaboy75:
Guys, Update. I now have Chromecast working with my OnePlus One wirelessly ofcourse with full screen image, and full phone manipulation. I had to purchase App Radio Unchained Reloaded. It was $33 on Playstore but was worth it.

Hit me up if you need a hand with this.

Hello Guys

I have two question

1. im tried to connect the chromecast with a samsung note 4, but i need 2 phones to get the connection , one to be projected and another as a AP. this is the rigth way?another phones has the option "send screen" and you have to put the chromecast as the guess option active. samsung dont have this option

2. for this i tried with a allshare cast from samsung, but the HDMI input doesnt active, still gray, i probe with a few HDMI cables, with the same results, and if i tried with a pc , the cables are good.

Any suggestion?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_MamaBee:
My Tmo S3 is getting old and cranky apparently. :( Not sure what else to try, perhaps someone can weigh in?

1. I'm running CM11. I have tried other ROMs, all had the same issues.

2. It charges best with my Qi charger, as my daughter tripped on my charging cable once and it pulled out. It will still charge via USB, but slowly.

3. I have tried ART and Dalvik. No difference in battery life.

4. I've tried another battery. Also no difference.

5. I've tried Trebuchet, GNL and Nova.

6. I've tried installing Xposed with a couple of modules (not at the same time) one to help with wakelocks and one to help minimize Google's location checks.

7. I've tried taking out my Sandisk micro card. No difference.

It slows way down sometimes, generally when there are a couple of things going on but not always. For example, I got to work a few days ago, at an unfamiliar location. My phone was in the car cradle, plugged in to the car charger (bought from Tmo for the phone). Google Maps was running to nav me. I unplugged it, stopped Maps and tried to text my husband that I'd arrived. It would load Hangouts but never the conversation. Just the spinning circle. I needed to get in to the classroom. Rebooted, it booted then booted itself again, I could finally text him, but it was still hanging. When I would type, all the letters (google keyboard) would stay "lit up" so I couldn't see the keyboard.

Sometimes I get audio notifications, sometimes not. Sometimes it rings, sometimes not. Sometimes while I'm looking at the hangouts conversation it'll ding that I have a new message but the message won't show up for another minute or two.

Any other ideas? I'd really like to not have to buy another phone, but I'm beginning to wonder if this one is just done.

Frustrating because I used to run GNL, have "Ok, Google" enabled from any screen, have my Twitter update once an hour, have weather update once an hour, and now I've uninstalled Twitter, my weather updates manually (so no severe weather warnings...), I've ditched GNL and turned off "Ok, google." It isn't like my phone wasn't running these things.

Example: Today I had to go shopping for household and grocery items. Each time I was in the vehicle the phone was plugged in. The drive into town, between stores, while I ate lunch in the van. It was full 99% when I left home. 4 hours later it was at 29%...plugged in. I tried both the car charger and a brand new USB cable plugged into my FM transmitter.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I kinda have a feeling its got to do with how you're charging it. USB and car chargers generally don't push more than 500ma, where a good wall charger will be rated between 1-2A. No idea about wireless charging but I'd suspect they charge with a lower current. I could be wrong though.

Anyway, it also matters what cables you use. Many replacement charging cables won't handle the higher current. So even if you are using a good charger, a cheap cable can reduce any benefit expected. Over time, this all may have a negative effect on how much voltage the battery can push out to the device, impacting performance. Plus as the battery gets old this naturally happens anyway so the effect could be combined.

It also might help to start over fresh with your system and apps. Flash firmware via Odin first. (This would be a good time to test things while fully stock). Then reflash your ROM and only restore essential data. Reinstall everything else and start clean.

If you have the same problems, especially while stock, and a new battery doesn't help, it is possible some hardware has started to degrade due to age.

Whatever the problem may be though, backup your important data off-device soon, just in case.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_MamaBee:
Thank you for your input, DocHoliday. I appreciate your wisdom. Up until about a month ago, I'd used the OEM wall charger and cable. We wondered about the cable so my husband bought me a good replacement. We definitely try to stuck with good quality, our phones are investments we can't afford to replace if we can help it.

I do believe we're going to ODIN to stock tomorrow. I need my husband's help on that one. I've never dealt with ODIN, only installing zip or the CM installer. If we can save it and make it stable we'll pass it to our daughter. I gave up and bought a Moto G.

I'm really interested though in what the outcome will be with stock. I have, indeed, tried what you suggested as far as starting fresh with system and apps. Yesterday I did a full wipe, wiped /system, cache, Dalvik. Signed in to Google and put only what I needed back on.

Thanks again for the advice. I'll report back after running stock a few days.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
For people who have never used it, Odin can sound a lot more intimidating than it really is. It's really quite simple though, so if you find you have to do it on your own at some point, I'm sure you'll be just fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_MamaBee:
Thank you for that vote of confidence. I can always cover up Touchwiz with Nova, right? ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yup!

[Xperia Z3 General] Indicious Flow:
Trust me, I've tried it out and it's definitely A LOT louder than the z2 on both sound quality wise and also notifications.
[Xperia Z3 General] electrash:
Somewhere, I read there is built in amplifiers, so that means it's hardware.
[Xperia Z3 General] G1_enthusiast:
Sony been taking a page out of HTC one M8 :) this is the Harmon Kardon option. IMO its pretty good, can be artificial sometime with the H/K on.
[Xperia Z3 General] Jiyeon90:
I had the chance to play with the Z3 today, the sound quality is really top notch, better than Z2 but they didn't increase the volume [emoji20]

So if you have one of those big headphones the volume won't be loud enough [emoji23]

[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
I agree G1.......... I have the regular HTC One M8 (T-Mobile) but I rooted and S-OFF'd it, so I was able to install the H/K mod for it, and it does improve the sound quality. And yes, I agree that Sony is seemingly using that same technology for the Z3, and that's fine by me! lol Not sure if I will switch or not in October. Maybe. Maybe not. My M8 being rooted and S-OFF'd has taken it from very good to fantastic! But I do love Sony, and that Xperia glass/metal combo is as gorgeous as any smartphone as ever been. The M8 is a close close second though........brushed aluminum is gorgeous too.

So you really think H/K's sound is artificial? Do you think the Z3's will be too or no? Why or why not?

RockStar2005

---------- Post added at 03:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 AM ----------

Mazellat,

I think those features are great, and just like what Harman/Kardon did to the M8 (my current phone, non-H/K version though, but I have that H/K mod on it). It's a 2-pronged attack, and I'm ALL for it!

But ppl, we gotta get something figured out........... is the Z3 louder than the Z2 or not? 1 person so far said def yes, and another said no. So which is it?! lol

Hi Jiyeon,

Regarding the headphone volume, when you say it's "like the Z2", do you mean it's fine but could be louder, or is it simply that it just isn't loud enough?

Thank You,

I tried the sound using the MDR 10RC and for me it wasn't loud enough. But when using smaller headphones loudness won't be a problem

[Xperia Z3 General] AirBaker:
That's great news on the speakers. How much louder are the speakers than the Z2's? M8 type volume or less?
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
I usually listen either from the speakers or else in my car using an audio cable. Since the volume in my car can go very high, I'm guessing it won't be an issue for me either. If I do get it, I'll maybe also get the noise-cancelling speakers separately (http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en.../digital-noise-cancelling-headset-mdr-nc31em/) that came with the Z2 internationally (though here in the U.S. they don't for some stupid reason). They're made exclusively for the Xperia phones. They have tiny mics on them to record the "unwanted outside noise" and then they send that to the Xperia phone which uses a special logarithm to create a "noise" that's completely the opposite to counter the outside noise............thereby cancelling the outside noise. Genius! lol

This graph visually shows what I just stated: http://www.mega.pk/js/fileman/Uploa...aves-6ebb58abc11f46cba031e01bbb1db74b-460.jpg

[Xperia Z3 General] Jiyeon90:
The phone was in a store so I didn't really get to try the volume through speakers properly, all I can say is that I found it better than the Z2 speakers, on the other hand the Z3 compact speakers weren't as loud as the Z3

Z3 decibel level review & comparison

Jiyeon and everyone,

This article offers some nice insight on the sound, especially page 3. You can compare the max decibel (db) levels of various phones:

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Xperia-Z3-Review_id3795/page/3

Scroll down to "Audio Output", which is just under "Multimedia". From there, add the HTC One M8 (my current phone) and Sony Xperia Z2 to see. Or see below:

AUDIO OUTPUT

LOUDSPEAKER LOUDNESS (DB)

HIGHER IS BETTER

Samsung Galaxy S5 81

LG G3 81

HTC One (M8) 75.2

Sony Xperia Z3 74

Sony Xperia Z2 71

So yeah, the speakers are definitely louder on the Z3 than the Z2, and surprisingly (at least to me) about neck-and-neck with the M8's. Even though the S5 and G3's speakers are louder, keep in mind that both the S5 & G3 only have one LONE speaker IN THE BACK lol, so they both kinda have to be louder to make up for the bad placements. I had the G2 before and it had 2 bottom-facing stereo speakers. LG was stupid to degrade that on the G3.

What do you guys think? I guess that increase in speaker volume doesn't equate to louder earphone volume, per Jiyeon's post. Are there any GOOD apps out there that increase the volume

without causing distortion

that any one knows of? I may try the Z3's earphone volume out and decide it's fine, but if not, it would be nice to know I had a backup plan. lol

Thanks,

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 General] RCJ89:
After hearing the volume level still remain average and seeing on phone arena that the amp output being .30 for the Z3 means it is going to be as loud as the Z2 and Z1 and Z before it, which isn't loud enough for me. So no z3 for me which is a shame.
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
Hey RCJ,

Where did you see that it was average? In my last post the max db level of the Z3 was only 1.2 decibels lower than the M8's. I have the M8, and let me tell you, it'd LOUD & CLEAR too! lol

In case you missed my last post, here is just an excerpt with a lil extra added in:

AUDIO OUTPUT

LOUDSPEAKER LOUDNESS (DB)

(HIGHER IS BETTER, though not always clearer lol)

Samsung Galaxy S5 81

LG G3 81

Sony Xperia Z2 71

Sony Xperia Z1 68

Sony Xperia Z 67

So yeah, the speakers are definitely louder on the Z3 than the Z2, and surprisingly (at least to me) about neck-and-neck with the M8's. The Z1 and Z were both lower than the ones after it. Even though the S5 and G3's speakers are louder, keep in mind that both the S5 & G3 only have one LONE speaker IN THE BACK lol, so they both kinda have to be louder to make up for the bad placements. I had the G2 before and it had 2 bottom-facing stereo speakers. LG was stupid to degrade that on the G3.

I've talked to at least one person on here who said the S5 and G3 also have distortion at max volume, where the One and Xperia phones do not.

[Xperia Z3 General] RCJ89:
I was talking about in headphones not loud speaker, I couldn't care less whether its single speaker or stereo speaker as I only use my phones speaker for incoming calls/notifications/alarm and occasionally loudspeaker so as long it is loud enough.

Headphone volume is more important to me as I listen to musci in headphones alot and the z-z3 are not loud enough, they are all the same.
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
Ahh ok. I don't use it for that much, more in-car listening than anything. But in-car I can blast the volume no matter what.

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 General] RCJ89:
I have the same aswell I can turn the car volume up louder but if the phone was louder itself, it would boost the bass aswell.

When I had the Z, Z1 & S4. When playing music in the car via the AUX cable as my car then didn't have bluetooth the S4 was quite a bit louder than the other two which meant I didn't have to turn the stereo up so loud especially to get the bass.
[Xperia Z3 General] Jiyeon90:
Hello, yeah you got that right, I found out that when using headphones that cover your entire ears the volume on max is not loud enough but when using other kind of headphones such as earphones or those that only cover half of your ears the volume won't be an issue.

Also, I'm sure there will be mods that make the sound louder so I wouldn't be too worried about this.

When it comes to call quality it's pretty good, with the exception of one single person lol I have to speak loud or she won't hear me, it's kinda weird coz I didn't have this issue with her when I had the Z1, but yeah it's just 1 person, with everybody else the call quality is loud and clear.

My signal is on full bars most of the time äm

Also, the reviews I have seen of the Z3 compact say the call quality is good! ?

Sent from my Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z3 General] RockStar2005:
Jiyeon,

Thanks so much for your input! Luckily we have people like you here who have actually held the Z3 in their hands and can give us further insight than what just the reviews offer up. :good: lol

I see what you mean. Well the headphones are bigger so it's not surprising they require more power to reach a higher volume vs what earphones need. And yes, I was thinking the same thing....... there are mods out there that are well-rated and can increase volume while still maintaining clarity too, if necessary. I don't really know of any only because it's not really my thing, so if anyone reading this does, please feel free to chime in.

I see. lol Well like when I talk to my parents on the phone, they got "starter" type phones (the Samsung Galaxy Light), which aren't as good as some of the flagship phones we've seen mentioned here. When I talk to them, it tends to not sound as nice (more "tinny") as other people I know who have better phones. I wonder if she (your friend) changed her phone since you went from the Z1 to the Z2?? But still, everyone else sounds great anyway. That's good to know that you typically have all bars. So clearly you live in an area with great reception. That will definitely help with call quality too. I'm happy you mentioned that it's not only loud but CLEAR too. That's equally, if not more important.

Yes I've seen the Z3 Compact's call quality rated as pretty good too.

I'm starting to lean a lil more towards getting the Z3 now when it comes out in the U.S. next month via T-Mobile. I love my M8 very much, but one thing I don't really like is that in order for it to be equal to or better than the Z2 in terms of sound, I had to root it and do S-OFF as well, which not only took time to do, but also it means you have to be a little more involved with maintaining it than when you don't do all that stuff. The Z3 has the same sound capabilities of my M8 (which has the Harman/Kardon mod on it) because of the DSEE HX and Hi-Res, it has a better-rated camera, a slightly bigger screen yet it's shorter and thinner (though still slightly wider) than the M8, a better processor and battery, etc. I'll just have to see how I feel in October when I have it in MY hands. lol
