[Blu Pure XL] levchikb:
Hey guys

so i found this weird problem with Chromecast (2015 model) - If i go to display settings > Cast Screen and start screen mirroring - Phone screen appears on TV but then freezes. In 5-10 seconds phone disconnects from TV

Same with Chromecast app. Casting apps such as YouTube, Netflix, etc work fine.

[YOUTUBE]IZrxb2084t0[/YOUTUBE]

Any ideas? Thanks
[Blu Pure XL] jaybirdhawaii:
I haven't used the app. But over the weekend I was trying to stream several TV programs. On was on my Blu Pure XL using Chrome - went to YouTube - found the programs I wanted (Bravo's Watch What's Happening Live) - and there was a "Cast Screen" symbol - hit and voila! WWHL was on my TV. All in all I cast about 10 different programs without a problem.
[Blu Pure XL] levchikb:
[MENTION=3058409]jaybirdhawaii[/MENTION] I was actually having problems with Screen Mirroring - not casting apps. See the youtube video in OP
[Blu Pure XL] sensorsweep:
i've had better luck when both the pure XL and chromecast are on 5GHz instead of 2.4
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wewantutopia:
Hello,

I have a pretty generic tablet: PROSCAN PLT9602G I got for free for my kid to use. I got it rooted using Kingoroot and the root was successful.

Kingoroot installed their version Kingo SuperUser and I would like to install Chainfire's SuperSu but am having issues.

I downloaded and installed SuperSu from the play store and grant it su permission via the Kingo SuperUser app.

SuperSu then says it needs to update the binary but fails. I disabled Kingo SuperUser via settings>apps and retried to update SuperSu's binary without success.

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Hey

I am tearing my hair out. For the last two days my Hudl2 has just said "obtaining IP address" I have tried static IP, factory reset both the Hudl and my router but it keeps saying it.

I also tried to connect to my phone via tethering but still says obtaining IP.

Any idea what's going on??
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
I bought a USB-C to HDMI adapter through the Google Store, as I have a laptop with USB-C (and no HDMI Out or DIsplay Port) that I need to mirror to my 65" TV. Works great for that. (Miracast and Chromecast frequently drop the mirroring connection for me).

Just for sh*ts and giggles, I tried it on the 6P to see if it would work, even though I knew it wasn't supposed to. I can confirm that there is no video out on the 6P through the USB-C port. TV says there is no signal from the 6P.

Nothing earth shattering here. I just figured there are some people out there where in the back of their minds they were still wondering whether it might work. Put your minds at ease, it does not.
[Nexus 6P General] jawmail:
Bummer, why does your Chromecast drop signal, that sounds router related.
[Nexus 6P General] CNLiberal:
I know Google is really pushing Chromecast, but limiting people to 720p is just sad. I've tried the experimental 1080p ChromeCast from my laptop Chrome to my Sony KDL65W850C and it just produces a broken picture. The Nexus 5 had fantastic SlimPort that I used! It was amazing for movies or testing TV inputs. Heck, I even used it for VMware Horizon View and loved it! This is a feature that Google should put into all Nexus phones.

/rant

I had to get that off my chest.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
I agree , i know the chromecast is decent, but to actually mirror you're entire display the slimport option was so superior , no frame drops etc . shame it doesn't have it, but oh well , maybe the nexus Nexus huh.
[Nexus 6P General] CNLiberal:
I'm doubting it. Google wants Cast to take over. I can see it from their POV. But the fact they want to call this PREMIUM and not having this feature...very disappointing.

I really do appreciate you trying this out. I was searching at work the other day for a USB-C to HDMI, but couldn't find one. Thanks for doing the needful!
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Very true, but when usb c 3.1 happens isn't hdmi supported?
[Nexus 6P General] CNLiberal:
It's not really HDMI that's supported. It's DisplayPort. And DisplayPort is already supported in the USB Type-C spec. Google just didn't implement it for whatever insane reason.

Check out this image. It shows that the USB Type-C ALTERNATE MODE uses pins A2, A3 and A10, A11. These can be for either high speed USB3, or for DisplayPort.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Ah I see! So it's a choice that they didn't take, bummer, Thanks for the info,
[Nexus 6P General] Sammaul:
Anyone know if it would be possible to implement via a custom kernal?
[Nexus 6P General] CNLiberal:
I'd imagine that the hardware doesn't exist in the phone to make this idea possible.
[Nexus 6P General] Sammaul:
Thought type C was capable by default.
[Nexus 6P General] nj1266:
It is shocking to me that a 2015 flagship phone does not support video out via dongle to HDMI cable. My old S3 and HTC M7 do. All my iPhones did and still do. I believe the Samsung S6 does not support video out either.

Sent from my iPhone 8
[Nexus 6P General] Lightarrow:
I thought this was a must have at first. As it turns out. I never really used it on my old phone. Loving the chromecast though.
[Nexus 6P General] DJ Sandman:
Though I'm sure it won't help, I sent feedback to Google regarding why "Enable Wireless Display" isn't available under the "Cast" display setting. What a crock!

I guess it's Chromecast Dongle or bust. All smartphones today should have wireless display capabilities - smh.
[Nexus 6P General] CNLiberal:
The spec allows for it. However, it's up to the hardware designer to actually implement it. Google decided not to. Bad idea in my opinion.
[Nexus 6P General] corani:
From what I understand, it's a USB 3.1 feature. Though the device uses a USB C connector, the data path is still USB 2.0.
[Nexus 6P General] CNLiberal:
Its actually not a USB 3.1 feature. It's part of the USB Type C spec called "Alternate Mode". DisplayPort would use the same pins that could be used to enable USB 3.0 to push DisplayPort data instead of USB3.0 data. Its a one or the other deal with USB Type C. Either DisplayPort or USB 3.0/3.1. USB 2.0 is always present.

I am looking for an explanation on my problem. Every time I restart my sm-t520 the battery shows 10% less than before the restart. If I turn the tablet off for about 30 seconds, and turn on the tablet, the battery shows what it suppose to.

Could it be that the connector for the battery is loose or something? It does that on every rom I flash

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] coco1476:

[XDA Assist] tatdaddy13:
Hey guys, its been a long time since I've been on here asking questions, but I am completely stumped. I got an Irulu Victory 1S china phone. I achieved root, installed CWM. Problem was there was not enough storage space on main drive, as it was partitioned at 800mb for system apps and 5gigs internal SD storage. I found an app specifically for that phone manufacturer that partitioned the drive to 2.5 gigs. Flashed new Rom, Cyogen, now I am stuck in a boot loop. I can get into CWM no problem. But no matter what Rom I install, even after clearing delvik, cache, system, it just boot loops. I found from manufacturers website the original disk img files, but when using MTKtools it says disk size doesn't match file. I found a a blog that has a more detailed instructions on how to modify MBR and EBR1 using editors, but nothing on how to fix size issues. Any help is appreiated. I have win10 and Linux Mint systems if that helps any. Im assuming that there is a file or something I need to edit to get new roms to boot. I can do remote desktop sessions as well if needed. Im not computer dumb, but I know enough to get around windows and linux.

PS: I can only boot into recovery, when I ADB Shell it, it comes up as 123456789ABCDE RECOVERY as device. Cant seem to pull or push any files this way.

Update; Ok so I tried using EBR edit tool. Modified EBR to 2.5 gigs. Did a system, cache, and delvik wipe. Tried to install rom. Now it finds package, starts to open it, and then goes back to CWM main page. Tried several Roms with same results. It starts to install, but then flashes back to main recovery page. Now Im even more confused!
[XDA Assist] Droidriven:
Hello,

Best bet is to get your partitions restored to factory partition table and then try flashing the stock firmware.

When in recovery, have you tried doing a full system and data wipe with the advanced wipe options and then flashing your ROM?

I'm not familiar with your device to give you better answers. Try posting your question in the forum linked below.

Section 2: Getting root!

Generic Instructions [6039*][6045*]

Download SuperSU from the link here: SuperSU -- By Chainfire

Flash the ZIP file you downloaded in the previous step.

Boot into Android and you should find SuperSU in the app drawer!

Open SuperSU. It should come up with a message saying "You need to update the su binary" or something like that.

Tap Normal in the options that appear at the end of the message box.

If that doesn't work, use the TWRP method.

Once the su binary is updated you have root on your Android!

If you are unsure, download Root Checker from the Play Store and that will tell you if you are rooted.

Hi,

I just bought the note 5 and honestly it's amazing but I still don't get how things work here.I just need someone to explain how things work here as I want to root my device.I have read that I need to install a custom kernel after installing the custom recovery but is the kernel necessary and what does it do ? and how to choose the best one as there are 3 and I need the most stable one if I have to install one...Does installing a custom rom would wipe my files ?

Is there a rom that is more stable than stock or could a rom be better than stock and how ? What are the things I could do when I root and what are the apps that would let me do those things

Thanks in advance and sorry for all these questions
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yathani:
Salam Mohamad,

welcome to the forum

First of all you need to understand that rooting remove the warranty from your phone and once you root it, it will be flagged as rooted forever in the system and can't be undone. Therefore, you need to have a strong understanding of how rooting works and what is the benefit of it and do you really need it !

I suggest you start reading about root and understanding how open is Android even without root.

I did read about rooting and what I do know that nothing could go wrong unless you don't know what you are doing and I don't want to do much after rooting.I just want to install apps like lucky patcher or greenify and things would maximize battery life so do you know any answers to the questions above ?

Welcome to android my friend
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yathani:
- Yes Kernal is a must for the note 5 as you casn't root the stock kernel and I recommend Arter97 check out his thread.

- Installing custom rom wipe your system like new unless you are upgrade from offical rom to offical rom otherwise you will lose all of your data. Backup always

Root gives you endless options as long as you know what you are doing and I will let you explore around but two apps i recommend is Titanium backup and Xposed framework.

Hi Guys....Please take a look at this review [emoji106]

** I received this case from Affinity to use and review. They was so kind as not to charge me a penny...not even postal charges.

** Upon receiving the package I can say that it was very well packaged and almost impossible to get damaged during transit. First hands on with the product you just noticed that it's so light in weight. It doesn't add hardly anything to the phone once fitted. I can say that once your phone is inside this case it isn't going to pop out on impact if dropped. It fits very firmly in place indeed. The sleek black bumper with a clear back looks amazing on the gold s6e+ . The embossed Affinity logo on the back (clear like the case) looks great. Once you've used this case I can promise that you will be proud to display the Affinity logo on items. The case has a very premium look and feel to it. No sharp edges to hurt your fingers whilst holding it for any length of time. The cut outs are perfectly designed to the phone and in my opinion actually makes the phone sounds louder. The subtle black lip that surrounds your phone holding it in place is in a class of its own. The buttons are very responsive and you won't be feeling around in the dark to find them either. I own a few different brands of cases but I can honestly say that this one is the one that you want to be on your phone if you ever drop it.

** As for value for money!! What can I say?....it's a very affordable, premium case that compliments the phone and adds to its sexy looks.

** Please check the case out on Amazon and try it out. I promise that you won't be disappointed...Actually I think you will fall in love with it. Images available here...
