[Google Chromecast] atomomega:
No problems at all, it is designed to work that way. Just make sure you have enough ventilation cause the Chromecast tends to get warm.
[Google Chromecast] crypt0kiddie:
No more than leaving the TV on all day! I actually have 3 chromecast in my house, two of which are connected to TVs do not have a powered USB ports. Those two run off of the USB power brick and stay on 24/7 regardless of the TV being off. I got them when they first came out and I've never had any issues. That said the only cost like $25 anyway.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
IMO it's the safer way to go. Less chance of power suddenly being removed during a firmware update.

Also, if your TV supports it, Chromecast can turn it on when you initiate a cast request.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyakan:
I have a custom HW, and would like to configure the audio output.

The CPU is an IMX6, with a WM8962 codec, it work fine at with 44100Hz, now I would like to use the codec at 8KHz.

When I put in output a file with command like

stagefright -ao /system/media/audio/test.mp3

the mp3 is converted to 44100Hz before sendig it on codec, on the pins of SSI the LRCLK go at 44100Hz, also if the test.mp3 is a 8KHz.

Android Re-Sample all output to 44100Hz, how I can Re-Sample all to 8000Hz?

I tried these in build.prop

audio.samplerate=8000

persist.audio.samplerate=8000

ro.audio.pcm.samplerate=8000

persist.af.resample=8000

but the result is the same, also changing the /system/etc/audio_policy.conf.

If I have a codec that run at 8KHz, how I can transform all audio to 8KHz?

I have xperia tipo and earlier I flashed xperia ion rom suddenly Mobile got bricked,this is becoz not every device has same hardware and drivers
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The kernel, put very simply, is a bit of software that tells the operating system how to use the hardware. CPU, GPU, RAM, screen, buttons, etc. Thus, kernels are device specific. ROMs are also device specific. NEVER flash a ROM, kernel, or recovery that isn't for your specific device, unless you want a battery powered paperweight.

Also can i overclock my processor without flashing a custom kernel? My current pre installed kernel version is 3.4
[General Questions and Answers] dictatorkara:
Don't flash anything unless it is specifically for your device. You will get a very expensive paperweight if you just flash random things.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdxda:
Hey all,

I'd like to get a small android phone for t-mobile USA with LTE. The z3 compact looks like the best option, so which version of it should I look for?

Also, do I need to worry about what software version it comes with if I plan to load it with custom roms? Is it easy to unlock the bootloader?

Also, I have been looking for a sale on these but I haven't seen any, is there any recommended places to buy it and get a good price?

Lastly, I know a lot of you probably bought the phone when it was released, but if you were in my shoes and were going to buy a phone now would you still get the z3 compact ? Or what would you get instead?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaZiODROID:
There are 2 versions of the Z3C, it seems:

D5803 and D5833

Check on gsmarena (link below). You may have to click "expand" on the Network portion to see all of the network info. Try to figure out which of the 2 models are most compatible with the bands that T-Mobile uses.

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z3_compact-6538.php

Unlocking the bootloader is sometimes not possible (like, if the phone was purchased from a carrier, they may have set Bootloader Unlock Allowed to "NO"). If you buy straight from Sony then it is more likely to have an unlockable bootloader.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSRBIKER:
D5803 for the US. B&H Photo probably is your best best for price, I bought mine from England and once it was released in the US used the flashtool to install the US software version.

Very easy to unlock the bootloader and you can restore the features that are lost when unlocking now(except Playstation remote play I believe). I'm still hoping to gain root without unlocking the bootloader, this is by far the longest i have gone without root...honestly don't miss it except for the ability to use Titanium Backup. The software is close to stock Android with some added useful tweaks IMO like Sony's battery management, phone themes, etc. Best camera in a phone I've had, manual mode can take outstanding pics. This will get even better with Lollipop and the new Android Camera software, there are apps out there already taking advantage of this and the results from people is overwhelmingly positive improvements.

Every time I see someone with a large screen phone I think I might want one, then I hold one and say this just doesn't feel comfortable to use. I's buy the Z3C over anything out there if purchasing today if it were me.

Not boot :(

I install 15.01.2015 rom but my phone not reboot. Only Galaxy Tab Samsung screen stay.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaah:
Which bootloader do you use?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suleeto:
I'm also stuck.

I started out with Overcome 4.1 which has been on this thing for a couple years now at least. So it had recovery and root already, has for a long time. All I did was copy the latest CM11 nightly which was 1-19-2015, and the Banks Gapps Standard 4.4.2 signed.

Since Overcome required recovery, I just hit the power button and told it to reboot into recovery. I had both the above zips installed on my microSD. Told recovery to wipe data/factory reset.

Then told recovery to install the CM zip. Install completed. Rebooted to what looks like a NEW recovery with the hat logo. Told me I didn't have root installed (which is weird, this was rooted, used Root Explorer so I'm not crazy) so I said sure and selected "Yes."

Told recovery to install the Gapps zip. Install shows the new look with the animated android guy's guts open while it installs zip.

Told recovery to reboot. Saw the Cyanogen boot screen after the Samsung one. Scroll bar on Cyanogen finishes, but................. Then it bounces me straight into recovery. Rebooted. Same thing two more times.

I just reinstalled both zips again and tried it. And still keeps bouncing me into recovery.

So I guess the good news is I'm still in recovery. The bad news is my amateur knowledge isn't sure where to go next after a couple hours straight of reading threads.

Help very much appreciated. Gonna charge up the battery while I wait for assistance here.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

Quick update:

Moments later I rebooted it for yet a third time. Got past the CM progress bar boot screen, and now in some sort of animated screen with the cyanogen logo and an arrow rotating around it (says "cyanogenmod" at the bottom). I am assuming it's doing something so I will leave it and keep and eye on it....

Is that normal? Is this some sort of automated setup point?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suleeto:
So I got it loaded up, but Gapps won't let me sign in with my gmail account. Says "There was a problem communicating with the Google servers. Try again later."

???
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaah:
So you said you already have recovery. What recovery do you use?

If yours works, i might as well try it. I was on twrp before this, then i read somewhere it should be on cwm with this rom. So i installed cwm then this is where the problem starts.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suleeto:
I tried a different Gapps and now all is well with that. Now, no FC's that I can see, camera snaps pics. Probably eventually find something but it feels like everything is working presently except for something dock related...

Now, one issue, one concern, one question.

ISSUE: On Overcome, official Samsung dock with HDMI and aux audio worked. I used it on a big stereo. I just set the Tab in the cradle and the sound switched to the cradle audio port (and out to the big stereo). This does not work with the latest CM. Is there something I need to add to restore functionality to the cradle? I hate plugging in my heavy duty audio connector to the top of the Tab while it's in the cradle. Looks terrible and just something to easily get snapped off in a moment of clumsiness. How do I get my cradle to work again?

CONCERN: This thing is.... slower! Yep. I haven't installed a lot... ADW and Pandora and Smart Keyboard. And... Chrome. Which is stupid slow. And as soon as I install Facebook and Facebook Messenger, it's even slower. It was never like this on Overcome. Which is of course Gingerbread, but I figured the main reason to upgrade to Kit Kat was a performance advantage. Did I misunderstand this?

QUESTION: The resolution is a tad bit small. I haven't decided what I think. What is this CM dpi set at to begin with, and what are the safe dpi's and safe way to change them on THIS particular ROM?

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

To be specific, I'm talking about the Samsung Multimedia Dock:

And this is the audio port that isn't working. As far as I can tell the HDMI isn't, either:

If there is some sort of additional APK package I need to flash to restore the use of this, please let me know how and where to get it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storm31:
You shouldn't have problems with twrp so far.. Which rom you have current on your tab?

The resolution on all CM versions for our Tab is 160dpi, problems with hdmi and aux audio weren't solved for cm 11.0 and aries kernel. For performance problems: have you tried same apps with Gingerbread? What's the expirience with Gingerbread?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suleeto:
Gingerbread on Overcome 7 4.1.0 was fast for apps and I had a lot more running in the background than CM11 does now, so.... make of that what you will. If you read around on Gingerbread ROMs you will quickly find out Overcome is the most complete, stable ROM out there in GB for our p1000 Tabs. Everything works, and works well.

Is there a good app to benchmark device performance? I could use that and then maybe compare to GB on Overcome. Also would be nice if there was a way to see what processes were taxing the processor like you can do in Windoze.

Also, if CM is 160dpi, what was the original dpi for p1000? 120? Overcome GB used whatever was on the original Froyo OEM ROM. What are the safe resolutions and a good app to change them with on CM11?

Ok, so..... if CM11 doesn't work with multimedia dock stuffs.... what about CM Jelly Bean or ICS? Hell, I just wanted Chrome and you can't run Chrome until ICS or higher if I understand right. If this can't be resolved... considering how piss-poor the performance seems to be... I may be reflashing Overcome again. I bought the dock for the outputs (especially audio). Not to look pretty with a tab in it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaah:
I changed my recovery from twrp humberos(if i'm not mistaken) to cwm, then I did full data wipe, that's where the problem start. I had the rom file in the sd card but my cwm doesn't want to mount the sd card. So now i am stuck at boot.

Previously I have CM rom...but i can't remember what version. It had been far too long.

Can you tell me which twrp i should get? I had the files sometime ago but now its nowhere to be found.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storm31:
Have you now a running Tab or it can't boot now?

I have made restock (and cm reflash) for some time ago with these steps:

1. flash stock rom with odin from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390225151984927194 (thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1881981 and thanks to sos_sifou)

2. reboot, copy cm-11.0 rom to internal sd then again download mode

3. flash CF root kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=885734 or overcome kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1881981)

4. reboot to cwm, flash cm rom, your tab does reboot to cwm again (kernel and cwm will updated), then again rom and gapps

5. mission completed
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaah:
I can not.boot. All I did was change recovery to cwm. I can get into cwm but somehow it doesnt want to mount my sdcard. Hence I cannot proceed to install rom.

I'll try your method later when I got home.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaah:
Where do i get the cwm files?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaah:
Sorry forget about it, i follow hpyour instruction sxactly and it was great now im running cm 11 smoothly so far, just need to get gapps.

Thanks again for the help
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suleeto:
I am curious what you consider to be "smoothly". I have everything working (well except Multimedia dock), but it's reeeeeally laggy when you try to do anything.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaah:
Yes smoothly meaning can open preloaded app by cm11 no problem. But as mentioned before i havent got the gapps. So i haven't downloaded anything from google play.

Oh also the camera does not work. But i wont take picture with this so i am okay. I wanted to revive my sgt so i was happy when it did.

So what makes your tab laggy? Opening anything is laggy?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike2nl:
About laggy opening. Have you moved your apps to the sd card? What type of sd card you have? A slow card? Have you set the type of acces protocol for the sd card in the performance settings or tested one of the settings?

Next thing is the internal one. There are 8, 16 and 32 giga byte tab types from samsung. Also the used type which are used from samsung and the speed of them is very different. Samsung plays so as everyone the cheap joker to get the max price of the product.

Next point is how much you have flashed a new rom. Not every ram chip can handle that with the same precice procedure and lifetime. From one point on the chip is damaged around 15%. I have written my doctor based on all that.

So please provide us with some infos.

I've got a small problem, I installed everything like it should, wiped all data e etc, installed the update twice (I was on 2.36, installed, CWM updated sort of, and I had to install again), installed gapps. But there's one small problem...MY touch screen doesn't work.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamrarras:
juste question :D

is this rom for GT P1000 or SGT7 ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike2nl:
Good question. What says the header of this thread?

P1000 and the SGT7 can be the same, so long you have the first version of Samsung's galaxy tab.

It is WiFi only or you have 3g too? Means you can make calls.

Update.

Follow the link and with that tool you check your Samsung device.
