[Nexus Player General] Philthy82:
My Nexus Player upgraded to Marshmallow yesterday, and now chromecasting from any device has stopped working. I've even done a full factory reset, and it's still broken. In Play Music I can see the chromecast icon but tapping it fails to connect – it just cycles and goes back to its disconnected state. Youtube doesn't show the chromecast icon at all, the chromecast app doesn't show any devices, and it doesn't show up in desktop Chrome either.

Gotta say, this has been the crappiest most unreliable Nexus product I've used since day 1, and after hoping Marshmallow would fix some of the numerous bugs in Android tv, this is just too much. It's also consistently failed to work with voice search ("Can't reach Google at the moment") and crashes or stops responding about every 2 days, requiring a reboot. Is this everyone's experience or is it possible I have a faulty unit?
[Nexus Player General] KoubaK:
I can't speak for the rest of the NP community, but I think your issues are isolated to your unit. I have been running DP3 since it came out and I have not have any of those issues. I mostly use my NP for Kodi and other streaming apps... no issues with those (other than Netflix being all stupid from time to time).

Here is an extreme method to solve your problems:

1) Restore the NP to factory

2) Before configuring it, flush the IP/mac tables on your router

3) Configure NP

4) Try to cast something to it

:cool::cool:
[Nexus Player General] ungureanub:
Mine also updated itself to M and now casting is not working anymore. I've also did a factory reset and nothing. I cannot find the device to cast to it. Any ideea? :(

Lost chromecast function on virgin Nexus Player 6.0 OTA update

I can confirm also that the chromecast feature disappeared under the OTA update. I rebooted both player and my g4, same.

Installed chromecast app on my g4, rebooted both, same

went to Vizio smart TV app, paired via youtube setup on the G4, entered pairing code, works on vizio native Youtube app

when I switch back to nexus player, chromecast button fades and disappears on G4 youtube app.

Mystery.

I wonder if it will resurrect itself when g4 gets android 6.0 as possible some backward incompatibility may exist, which is why I threw the chromecast app from the google play store on the G4.

The playstore app was not required before to stream to either vizio or nexus player while performing chromecast.

whoopsy daisey...

lol
[Nexus Player General] GabbyWC:
I performed a clean install of Android 6.0 Marshmallow from a factory image on my Nexus Player today. I too have noticed that casting to this device no longer works from any of the apps that did cast back when I was running Android 5.1.1. I've also noticed that when I use the Nexus Player's Bluetooth function to pair the device with my Philips HTL2160 sound bar, it seems to interfere with the audio going from the HDMI cable to the TV which is passed through to the sound bar via a digital optical cable. It's only after the sound bar is unpaired (which isn't as easy as it should be) that this particular audio problem seems to go away.
[Nexus Player General] jeff@work:
I don't think the 6.0 OTA is responsible. I'm on the 6.0 Preview 3 and casting was working just fine for weeks and it stopped working a few days ago. I can't cast from my phone or from chrome. I tried uninstalling updates on the Cast Receiver app and that didn't help but I know the Google app on my phone was updated last week and the Google Cast chrome extension was recently updated as well.
[Nexus Player General] jgardner:
Sub'd. Just had this happen to my wife today. Just spent the last grueling hour on the phone with google. They are sending a replacement even though I doubt it's hardware. Despite arguing with the guy he would not forward me to anyone with some intelligence who could troubleshoot the issue and just said it must be hardware. Curious to see what comes of this thread.

Edit: When I found out that I would be out a device for a week or two I had them cancel the RMA since I am hardly convinced it's an actual problem with the hardware itself. Crossing my fingers for a fix.
[Nexus Player General] mattspew:
Anyone else getting a regular pop-up "Controller Disconnected" or "Controller Connected"?

I can't work out if it's related to the stock remote or the Google "Remote Control" app on my phone.

Turning Wifi off/on on my phone doesn't trigger it and the stock remote is responsive when the popup said disconnected.
[Nexus Player General] cgdoc519:
Same issue. Can no longer cast to my Nexus Player.
[Nexus Player General] frente69:
No casting anymore here either.
[Nexus Player General] WiFivomFranMan:
Casting broke for me... Where do we file bugs with Google?
[Nexus Player General] abo_mara7:
Just installed the factory image without wipe (was on 5.0). I noticed that once I plugged in my 2TB Toshiba HDD it showed me two options: Connect as external storage or as internal storage. The down side is that it asks to format the device and changes its file system to FAT32 :(

I hoped they'd support NTFS. Now I need to root and use stickmount.
[Nexus Player General] cam_neely:
Same here. It worked fine for a while but yesterday it was gone. Reboot dud not help.

At the same time my USB stick that I had formated to internal memory is not readable anymore...
[Nexus Player General] Vash63:
Same issue here. Hope it's fixed soon.
[Nexus Player General] oleahmed:
Is it possible to roll back to 5.1.1, Casting worked perfectly... :(:eek:
[Nexus Player General] darklord6661:
I suppose it is kind of pointless but I'll also chime in and say mine isn't casting

That said, it randomly came up today and I was able to put one video up but it was fully out of audio sync.

Rebooted and I'm back to not being able to see it...
[Nexus Player General] bradwatson:
Casting works perfectly for me. Haven't had a single issue with it since the upgrade. I'm on Ethernet fwiw. I have noticed changes in the past when switching back and forth between WiFi and Ethernet so maybe try switching back and forth?
[Nexus Player General] WiFivomFranMan:
I submitted an issues. Hope it speeds up a fix as this is a main reason I selected it over the fire boxes and rokus of the world. I look at a Nexus Player as a super chromecast. I wish Google gave it some more love, it could be a great product.
[Nexus Player General] FreemanAMG:
Casting initially worked for me after the update, but as for today, stopped working. Does anyone knows more on this issue?
[Nexus Player General] Jay01:
Will my Nexus Player on MPA44I (Dev Preview 3) get the OTA?
[Nexus Player General] abuser0815:
I had to install it manually, because I didn´t want to wait.

One question to the community, it seems that a lot of apps like games having trouble and still not compatible with Marshmallow.

Playstore crashes also sometimes, especially if you have added a stick as internal storage.

The dev preview3 seemed to be much more stable. Anybody with similar experience or perhaps also solutions?
[Nexus Player General] jlvlawrence:
Nope

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

As of this morning, casting appears to be working for me again. Tested with Google photos and YouTube on my nexus 6, and Google play music on my iPhone 6s.
[Nexus Player General] Jay01:
Thanks, another question... I have a USB stick connected to the Nexus Player which acts as additional storage (Encrypted), if I manually flash the player will I have to reformat the stick?

Thanks
[Nexus Player General] jlvlawrence:
I have no idea to be honest. I don't use external storage on mine.
[Nexus Player General] dm1105:
Google JUST released Google Cast 1.16.45911 for NP which FIXES the Cast Receiver issue. That is all...
[Nexus Player General] WiFivomFranMan:
updated fixed casting for two of my nexus players with 6.0 and my player running cm12.1
[Nexus Player General] lost2030:
My Google Cast Reciever app had been working fine all these days until today. The NP didn't appear as a casting option anymore, but yes I got the update so it's now version 1.16.45911 and it works again!
[Nexus Player General] Asadullah:
Here's some crazy stuff for ya if you install amazon underground they have a couple of games on there for free like shadow blade beach buggy ...... in their underground apps section. Here's the crazy part .... wait for it.... they run better than the apps in the play store if you install them to external storage. Example I had beach buggy installed then moved it to external storage and it lagged while playing. Then I noticed it was free on amazon installed it and moved it to my external usb and it works great.
[Nexus Player General] largo19:
Great

That's awesome
[Nexus Player General] IamPro:
Anyone root Marshmallow? Is it easy? Does it wipe the device?
[Nexus Player General] Asadullah:
If your bootloader is locked then yeah it will erase the device. It's really simple though unlock bootloader flash the recovery flash the su zip.
[Nexus Player General] ashleya859:
Recently updated my NP to 6.0 like the fact that u can now have more storage added a 64gb thumb drive to mine fixed alot of my issues and kodi works pretty good now not tried netflix
[Nexus Player General] sask3m:
Wish Google would speed up the patch to fix the washed out colors you get with the 6.0 update.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IncredibleHulk6:
Hi folks, Trying to unlock my bootloader with no luck. Registered with HTCDev, downloaded Android SDK, JRE, and HTC Sync Manager. Boot into bootloader mode and connect to the computer via USB. Opening CMD, I can't seem to get the computer to find the device, and therefore can't execute the command to unlock the bootloader.

It is a Sprint HTC One M9 running Android 5.0.2, stock. Computer is Windows 7 x64-based Lenovo. Both are up to date. I've noticed that the device can sync with HTC Sync Manager and is recognized in file explorer when it is attached as a portable media device. It is not seen by the computer when mounted as a disk drive. HTCDev instructions didn't specify whether USB Debugging needed to be turned on or not, but flipping it on and off didn't seem to matter. Device Manager on my computer says that I have the driver for the phone is working properly.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Delete the sync manager. Don't ask me how or why but it interferes with the SDK so that your PC cannot recognize your phone properly.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LLegion:
also you have to download the BMP x64 and a complete platform tools folder ...you may want to check my personal backup here: https://drive.google.com/drive/fold...RSdGJTVnVhQTJQZUZiMG5uRWl0blNackNWMVU1NUNoVjg

Blehhh. I hate to crush everyone's dreams, but cmon. Look how old this phone is, why would lg update this phone, what benefit will they get from doing it? And who will be mad if they don't? This almost dead sub forum? I hope I am wrong, but on the bright side, we will see marshmallow in cyanogenmod form most likely. When? Well, since most development has died we might wait for some time.

[G2 General] phatmanxxl:
I hope we don't get the HTC treatment, I'm betting we will. This phone is well past the 18- month life expectancy. I'm sure a G3 M port will show up around here eventually.
[G2 General] waingro808:
Well Verizon G2 got lollipop before G3, so who knows what might happen.
[G2 General] sys01:
As said in another post from another user, g2 fan base is bigger than g3 and g4 one

They NEED to update g2, if they do it, they will have only benefits from who is happy with g2, and will re buy a LG phone

Sorry for english ^^

[G2 General] Bouba123:
If the G2 gets 6.0 upgrade, I don't think it is because LG wants to make us happy but it is a selling argument for them for the most recent flagship, like "Look, if you buy our phone, we will continue to maintain it when two new generations are available". If I didn't have a G2 yet, that would be a compelling argument for me to buy LG (G4, for example).
[G2 General] zizuka:
G2 mini is just barely 18 months old. Lame if they dont give one last and final update.
[G2 General] eduardo9315:

[G2 General] webcool123:
Would be very great if the G2 gets an Update to M and not only G2 Users would benefit from an Upgrade also LG,because it would mean that the G2 had a Support for more than 2 years (which would be way better than other competitors like HTC,.)
[G2 General] duchan:
that will be great. show that LG is a company which supports products longer than other companies.
[G2 General] MachiavelliBs:
I think this G4 on the photo , MSM8992. Here are some news from LG G3 Verizon . They got 5.1.1 .

There isn't a chance in hell the g2 will get M from LG.
[G2 General] Envy-X:
Lg g2 has a bigger fanbase then g3 and g4. Hell g2 is still on par with g3 and g4. So i dont see why not.
[G2 General] khaytsus:
How many g2 will they sell because of M? Zero. Soooo
[G2 General] Nightshadow931:
That's not the point.

How many G3's will they sell ?

How many Z2's will Sony sell for getting it to 6.0 ?

I'm waiting for G4 MM update and low price offer on Christmas..
[G2 General] jcagara08:
maybe someone can port from the Nexus 5 Official Marshmallow images from google then since it's already out?

Can anyone or did anyone did this with the previous versions of android like lollipop or kitkat? (Nexus 5 Stock ROM port for LG G2)
[G2 General] Eminemiero:
wait for cyanogenmod, camera will suck as it does today on cm / aosp roms
[G2 General] citytrader:
Forget about Android M, looking in the Nexus 5 thread, it consumes more battery than KK and M is with the bugs Android ever have. Android is pure crap, I hope Windows 10 could give some fresh air in the mobile OS so I can change my G2 with its crap GPS.
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
if you think Windows phones are better you got another coming buddy, its not (in most cases)
[G2 General] omfal:
I wonder if it will be possible (in theory) for [MENTION=270378]Cloudyfa[/MENTION] to backport MM to the G2, taking AOSP for G2 and integrating with something from MM from G3/G4.
[G2 General] zelendel:
I wouldnt count on it. IF we dont get an updated kernel then it will be very hard to packport any of the from other devices. Best to hope for is an AOSP based build.
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
he is not active anymore
[G2 General] Eminemiero:
no, that wont happen
[G2 General] citytrader:
Seems that the WP is better than Android, but today any OS could be better than this crap of Android OS, full of bugs, is not possible that we are still on buggy 5.0.2 and in the case it will be possible, we will move to another OS (Android M) buggy like this one or even worse because from the battery point of view seems the same or worse than LP (take a look at the Nexus forum)... Google is doing the same Nokia did in their time with Symbian, using the customers as a testers.
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
just for you to know, battery on LP is on par with JB (in our g2)
[G2 General] citytrader:
In my personal use I will disagree with you, JB has the best battery ever, if you are talking about battery/performance, that is another story, I use my G2 for working and most of the using is with data connection, office, dropbox, whatsapp, navigating pages, heavy use and not for gaming or watching videos and for my particular use LP is a worse than the older OS, but 30 min more and less of screen time is not the issue here, the point are the bugs that never ends in Android is like you buy a new car but the engine has a bug, it will shut down after xx miles to drive (In the future this is something that could be very possible), so they dont release the patch and you will ever has this issue, this is what is happening with the memory leakage in LP and nobody is doing nothing, instead of going all togheter to change.org and ask for a solution before release other crap.
[G2 General] rdlegy:
Almost all other flagships got 5.1 so we have to get android M, but I doubt it happening. I always have faith, but I don't really think lg will do this. Their updates suck !!!

I got another confirmation from lg in a emal saying they are skipping lollipop and going straight MM. But basically with testing from google, lg and att they couldnt give out a date it will be released.

[G2 General] errikosd:
For what it's worth, after contacting LG Greece, about Marshmallow, this is what I got:

"Unfortunately, there is currently no scheduled Android upgrade for the LG G2 and we cannot make any prediction on whether there will be one".

The communication is in Greek and I can upload screenshots for anyone who wants to make sure that the above statement is real.
[G2 General] sachilleas:
Thank you errikos. Unfortunately, they actually said nothing, apart from the fact that they are worthless. We make predictions. They are the official LG representatives and we, as customers, expect from them to inform us.
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
like always left hand dont no what right is doing.. yesterday we seen email from other member hinting they do work on Marshmallow and now this. not surprising
[G2 General] JasonTo:
Not wanting to complicate things further but I emailed LG UK and got the following response:

Thank you for your query regarding your G2,

I have had a look into this for yourself and I would be more than happy to help yourself. You should be able to get the Android 5.1.1 by downloading the mobile support tool of our website and completing the update over your PC. As for the android marshmellow we do not currently have a release date for this.

Should you need any more assistance, you can reply to this email by clicking the additional questions link above the survey.

I hope my email has answered your query and assisted you today; I would really appreciate your feedback. Please help us to improve our customer service by completing the short survey at the bottom of this email.

Thank you in advance.

LG Electronics UK Help desk

(and yes they did spell marshmallow wrong :silly:)

Its clear they don't have a clue about the situation
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
what variant do have you ask them about? since they say 5.1.1 is available in pc suite..
[G2 General] Mashed_Potatoes:
I hate customer support, they are completely useless. You are all wasting time mailing them, neither LG UK or Greece, Italy or anyone else have contact with HQ in Korea where SW Updates are coordinated & planned (presumably)

5.1.1??? On what planet is she living?????????

My advice is just keep calm and carry on, if they release 6.0 or 5.1.1 we will find out in less than 24 hours.
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
well if we keep calm and dont ask them and nag them maybe they won't release stuff. company's needs to see that there is high demand for updates - and there is big time!
[G2 General] JasonTo:
I asked about the international G2 (D802). I will be replying to the email and try to get a answer- doubt I'l get one though to be honest
[G2 General] nebula37:
It took me a good 24 hours to get a response.
[G2 General] cristiangrts:
Why do you think we will know in less than 24 hours?
[G2 General] Wiplive:
Yeah, I'll probably get BlissPop 6.0 bug-free faster than I'll get official Android 6.0. :)
[G2 General] Envy-X:
Make a petition ;)
[G2 General] zelendel:
I wouldn't count on that. As they Kang from. Cm and CM we most likely not see 6.0 until next year
[G2 General] Mashed_Potatoes:
Because someone will find out, be it through LG Update software, OTA or internet post? When 6.0 factory images came out for Nexus 5 ppl found out in 2 hours.....
[G2 General] zelendel:
That is very different. Each device gets a different image which is sent to carriers. Then carriers release it.

Google also makes it a point to announce that new build are uploaded by email to people the are part of the Google group.
[G2 General] Mashed_Potatoes:
Enough with this smartasses....when 5.0.2 came out for G2 took me a day to find out.
[G2 General] zelendel:
Unless you want to find your way on to a ban then I would watch what you say.

Yeah it was blasted all over the place. Even a blind man could have found it.

The chances of the G2 getting 6.0 are about 5% if that. Although AOSP will most likely have it long before LG releases it if they ever do. Just the way it goes.
[G2 General] wq0913562:
Looks like the CyanogenMod maintainers are already doing some LG G2 related stuff for CyanogenMod 13.0 (based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow), see:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/project:CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_g2-common

:good: :good: :good:

So, let's hope CyanogenMod 13.0 will soon be available for the LG G2.
[G2 General] zelendel:
God I cant imagine what issues will come from one of those commits. Considering a new bootloader is required. Doesnt really matter as most are not using CM stuff anymore anyway.
[G2 General] JasonTo:
ok, I got my reply, and as expected they are no help what so ever..

Thank you for your email, I have had a look into this for you and I apologize in regards to the previous email. As you have said, unfortunately 5.1.1 is not available on the G2. As this software is made primarily by Google this would be the reason we would not have any release dates for which one will be released and when.

We would need to wait for Google to decide to create a platform for our phones, we are hoping that a lot of LG phones will receive a further update so I hope this does happen in the future.

Kind regards

Normally that kind of "support" is useless unless you are someone who doesn´t know how to reset your phone or something like it.
