[Google Chromecast 2015] diggmc:
Hi Folks,

I'm running into an annoying problem with my new ChromeCast 2015. I've got an Asus AC68U router which I created static routes for Google's DNS (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) that direct to unused IP addresses on my local network and set the routers DNS to point to UnBlock-US DNS (208.122.23.23 / 208.122.23.22). However, I seem to be getting a lot of "video is not available in your region" and "video is unable to play" errors from Netflix's.

Now I also have an old ChromeCast (dongle style) which I rooted (Team-Eureka's rom) in order to be able to set the DNS servers on it directly to UnBlock-US and it works flawlessly (abeit slower than the ChromeCast 2015 version). A video that generates an error (above) on the ChromeCast 2015, will play properly on the older ChromeCast.

I've changed the DNS entries to Google's DNS on my older ChromeCast to test the static routing is working (which it seems to). So the question is why is the New ChromeCast being such a pain in the butt, where as the older one works flawlessly? Am I missing something in my static routing?

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions

Hey Dude, add these two. It helped me out, it's worth a try. It's in german, but you should unterstand it.

IPv4-Netzwerk: 208.67.222.222

Subnetzmaske: 255.255.255.255

Gateway: yours

IPv4-Netzwerk: 209.244.0.0

Subnetzmaske: 255.255.255.248 (!)

Gateway: yours
[Google Chromecast 2015] diggmc:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. 208.67.222.222 is one of OpenDNS' addresses, but I don't recognize the 209.244.0.0 address. Either way I'll try 'em when I get home.
[Google Chromecast 2015] michael08071984:
Yeah i'dont understand theses IPs and the different Subnet too, but it worked. Since then it works great here at Germany. It works with Unlocator and unblock-us.
[Google Chromecast 2015] diggmc:
Well I created static routes as described above but the problem persists. ?
[Google Chromecast 2015] michael08071984:
Thats akward. What Router do you have? unblock-us dns is active at the router?

---------- Post added at 22:59 ---------- Previous post was at 22:58 ----------

That Tutorial is from me. It works also with unblock-us: https://support.unlocator.com/customer/portal/articles/1825859-how-to-block-google-dns-on-fritz-box
[Google Chromecast 2015] diggmc:
The router is an Asus AC68U and yes, that how-to on UnBlock-US is the one I followed. Like I say, if I set the original Chromecast to Google's DNS addresses and static route Google's DNS in the router it works as expected, its just the new Chromecast that seems to have a problem...

I keep getting am entry in my battery stats labeled only as random numbers. I tried googling to find out what it meant but with no success. I just factory reset and still get this problem. Usually it will drain about 5% per day. Screen attached.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolosus9:
I've got similar entry in battery statistics but different numbers also about 5% battery used.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mecasull:
I've got em too. Haven't got a clue what they are
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
I've no real idea if this is related but might be possible:

Linux (and probably it's cousin, Android) likely have a similar basic process interface, both use PID, PPID's and PGID's. (process ID's of one sort or another). The PID's "appear" to be just like those numbers you're displaying in your battery stats. In almost any linux or Android shell (terminal emulator for android or Adb shell), you can do a "ps" command and see if the number you're curious about is a process ID as follows:

Via adb:

adb shell;
ps | grep {the number you see}

If it shows up, check out what ps thinks the process name is. If the process name is "NULL" then supposedly linux won't show a process name over a certain number of characters (or ps won't) and will substitute the PID instead. That might be what's happening.

The PS command can accept lots of options on linux (ps -ef, ps -aux, etc) but on android, it might just output everything without options or switches, so try a plain ps command first.

Just a thought.

But thanks for the suggestion.

msm8916 a.k.a. snapdragon 410 which is there on the LTE versions of Moto E. I wonder if we can get this up and running on our phones.

Link - "www(.)codeaurora(.)org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/release"

Check the October 9 releases with tag 'LA.BR.1.2.6-00110-8x16.0' and chipset 'msm8916_64'
[E 2015 General] Humoxxx:
BUMP! :)
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
*If it could be ported to Moto-E so we can get Marshmallow then yeah cool.

I have no clue about that stuff but i will keep an eye out for this topic.
[E 2015 General] MameTozhio:
Since we have only 1 GB of RAM, 64-bit is pretty much useless to us. This is a popular SoC among low end to low mid range phones though, so I expect us to easily get 6.0 in some form if Motorola won't do it. It helps that we're on stock android with little modifications already.
[E 2015 General] adrianocolvero:
64bits demands more RAM to run system, apps that are developed on 32bits don't get any performance gain running on a 64bits system.
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
i have ported a LOT of x86 'c' code to 64 bit since 2001 roughly and there is far more to it than that..

understanding data types is your first step.. the x86 memory size limit is only part of the equation.

i have hard that as an excuse for dev's to not update their programs for a decade or two though..

you here the same old myth's about the x64 architecture.

..from people who don't code.
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
One example of the contradiction..

Years ago i got the source code for Cudaminer (crypto currency miner program)

And i compiled it by making slight changes to make sure it compiled in Visual Studio / MingW

And when i launched the 64bit build it was way faster than the 32bit build.

The dev of the cudaminer program said he was never going to do 64bit

because it was not any faster.. i proved crystal clear that yes indeed it WAS much faster

and not long after that he started doing his own 64bit build LOL

I also have run that test on various other miners for crypto coins and every single time the 64 bit was faster.

then years before that i had done other conversions such as eMule

I was one of the very first guys to make and share a 64bit build of eMule on the web.

it used a LOT of 3rd party libs and it had a massive code base.. it was no easy task.

64bit gives no performance gains is a myth.

All i was trying to say is this myth should not be perpetuated but rather we should look

at each case independently and see if this allegation holds true.

Some may benefit and others will not.. best way to see is do it and benchmark etc.

The internet is full of people who spout off and don't know what their talking about and i have made a career out of proving them wrong.

For example i was the only guy to crack/unlock a series of LG cell phones.

I was told by everyone on the web it can't be done because of DRM.

They were wrong and.. it had nothing to do with DRM either.

I wrote a program with a GUI (available in both x86 and x64 windows formats)

posted them online at Howard forums (nobody else ever have)

I don't listen to people on the web ..i go check for myself.

Usually when people say can't they are wrong.

Such as cloning the MEID on 2 of my old phones.. every where i looked i was told no.. "can't"

Well.. LOL

When i finished cloning them i showed some people what i did and laughed..

I had (back in '08) one LG phone and one Samsung phone (running different systems)

and i had my friend call me and text me.. both phones started ringing at once

and both received the text msg at the same time.

You don't believe everything you hear on the web ;)
[E 2015 General] iks8:
so why there is no 64 bit roms for this device and why every other sd410 phone with 1gb of ram is 32bit too?
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
jeez you guys really want to start with me..

look i give up, you all know more than me about 64bit code.

i give up LOL

can we get back to the main topic (the porting of Marshmallow to the phone)

you guys can keep quoting me saying you don't understand what i said (but you know i am wrong) LOL

that make sense ?

64bit is a debate all over the web.. if you have enough experience you have seen the matter argued before.

it's a hot topic so if someone brings it up don't be surprised to see some conflict.

it's sort of like saying the new versions of windows are ugly or not.. it's going to start some arguing.

the difference is i can post proof backing up my mouth (if i had to)

showing how people were wrong about 64bit being slower.

but about Android ? i never claimed to know.. all i said is let's not assume and check.

does that warrant an avalanche of mouthy replies ?

I simply said let's not jump to conclusions.

blame the guy saying that who didn't prove claims.. not me.

edit:

by the way since you guys seem so interested in replying back to me ?

how about answering one of the many topics were i asked for help ?

seems you guys know sooooo much about this yet i am still waiting like a week later to flash my phone LOL
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
Yes 64bit or not.... i still think Marshmallow would be interesting for our phone.

I know almost nothing about that update though so i have no idea if it's going to work

very well for our low spec phone.

which is why i came to hear from you guys that DO know this stuff ;)
[E 2015 General] starkly_raving:
Honestly I have it (Marshmallow) on my N5 and its pretty decent. Certainly not worth a bump to 6.0 IMHO maybe 5.3??? Its just a very polished version of lollipop as far as I can see...
[E 2015 General] ApriliaM3:
Thread cleaned of the stupidity and childish bickering... Back on-topic now thanks guys.
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
so what MameTozhio said is fact then ?

oh ok then..

well i change my mind then i see no point in getting this update my phone only has one gig of ram

and 64bit is only for devices with lots of ram..

childish bickering ?

or some guy making bold claims that no on is allowed to refute ?

edit:

By the way i proved it (and mods deleted it)

but for giggles i google'd it and hit no. 1

http://www.osnews.com/story/5768/Are_64-bit_Binaries_Really_Slower_than_32-bit_Binaries_

seems i am not the only one who actually checked LOL

and i quote the guy..
[E 2015 General] ApriliaM3:
Perhaps you should read more carefully...

I said that I had cleaned the thread of the stupidity and childish bickering.

Do you see your posts removed or are they still visible?

Clearly then, I wasn't referring to you.
[E 2015 General] Humoxxx:
i support you [MENTION=7004228]xpmule[/MENTION], too many people talking everywhere without a proper knowledge
[E 2015 General] xpmule:
well i was saying that guy posted it should be slower pretty much and i thought hey you know what ?

Let's not jump to conclusions and wait and see.. Let's actually check.

And i tried to post some example about how 64bit myths are spread.

It's really up to each program out there as to whether it will benefit or not.

And if you listened to that guy earlier many of you would probably just oh well i don't want that update then.

With out even checking.. to see if it was better etc.

64bit vs 32bit touches a nerve on the web and i didn't want to stir up some drama for you guys here.

If i did then you all have my apologies :)

i say let's check it out and maybe do some benchmarks etc and see how it goes.

PS:

I am trying to leave this topic alone i don't want to agitate the mods (more than i prob have already)

I have been a long time Android user. One very minor but still annoying thing that I can't get to work is having Waze open up and navigate whenever I say "Navigate to [location]".

Any workaround for this?

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theaxe:
I loaded Kodi on Thursday and then removed to start a fresh build late Saturday night and when I went to the Play Store to load it, I couldn't find it. I screwed around for hours and subsequently beat my Nexus Player with my fists until it popped apart and bloodied my right hand, as assumed it was the device and then maybe a Google account issue. I eventually found the number for Google service and after about 20 minutes on the phone, they discovered there was an issue. The rep said he believed it was an issue with the developer and that it must've just happened because somebody else had called in to another rep about the issue while I was on the phone with him. Think the player is going to go back to the store, regardless of whether or not I damaged it permanently from beating it. By the way, Kodi IS still available on my Android tablet via the Play Store just not the Nexus Player. I might just take this as my red flag that the Nexus is going to be quirky in the future and be done with it.

It showed up in the Play Store for me also but refused to install, it just hung no matter what I tried, I found a discussion on the Kodi forums suggestion that I needed to opt in for testing, I tried it then it let me install Kodi, this was on Friday, 2 days ago, none of my other android devices needed this like my Nexus 6P or my Nvidia Shield Tablet, just the Nexus Player.

I probably should have said I see it but you might need to follow the link if it hangs when installing ;)

Its pretty simple really.

You have several choices.

The easiest is just to install one of the pre-rooted roms:

MOAR Rom v1.1

If you want to JUST root, there is a thread for that too:

Awesome, thank you! What i really use root for mainly is the WiFi Hotspot, any tips for that, is it still just an apk to install after root?

Lastly, i use root for a free version of Pandora streaming music...again, without an sd card, im in the woods as far aa using jailbroken apps...thanks!! Edit - nevermind, i see Hotspot is out of the box on this, awesome!

Oh....do i want to,take this update or what? Will it make things harder or worse for me down the road?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] tdunham:
All of those pre rooted roms have hacked hotspot included btw.

If you take that ota update your phone is nagging you about, you won't be able to odin back to the original build. It won't hurt to take it, but that is the limitation. If you take it, you will need the latest odin tarball/firmware, currently version oi6, should you need to flash back to stock.
