[Google Chromecast 2015] sfetaz:
You need a 2nd local device to setup Chromecast.

1. Turn on cell phone hotspot (lets say name is Chase)

2. Connect 2nd device to Chase

3. Using 2nd device, setup your chromecast to connect to chase. TURN GUEST MODE ON

4. Once everything is set up and your chromecast is connected to Chase, you can use your smartphone running the hotspot to connect to the chromecast via the Pin. The 2nd device is no longer necessary.

Without something to connect the chromecast to the phone, I see no way to do it.

Side note, the pin feature can sometimes allow you to use your chromecast on hotel wifis that do not normally work.

---

OP, is there no where near you like a internet cafe, staples, library, anywhere that might have a computer with internet access with wifi? What about a smart phone shop like Verizon or Tmobile? Use one of their demo phones to do it.
[Google Chromecast 2015] Majid_Ali:
I have same issue like this. The only thing is I don't use a Chromecast. I hook up my TV with LAN (Old Sony Bravia) to my router and my phone to same routers WiFi. So I am able to share and connect with TV. No issues. I have a crappy wired internet connected to it. I also have unlimited 4G plan on my phone. I use AllConnect to cast from my Phone to TV. Now I am able to cast Movie HD app via AllConnect on my TV. But as soon as I disconnect the wired internet from my router. I am not able to cast. I want to use my Phones 4G internet to stream on my TV. Theoretically it should be possible to cast using my routers LAN which I am able to. But as soon as I disconnect DSL cable from my router the streaming stops. Can anyone help me here.
[Google Chromecast 2015] theflyingman:
Another way

Hello

You can also spoof the MAC of the chromecast on your phone and configure the chromecast by this way.

However you need to have root access on your phone to install a software like Mac Changer.

This solution is very usefull in an hotel which require a connection to an open wifi network and a second authentification with login and password.

So, I've been using the quick circle case. I like it, but I have to scroll through those bs apps to get to what i need. I'll never use them (I don't use stock music player, and settings and download more open up inside the phone, stop no point), but I can't deselect them from the circle apps.

As I know, those are the default apps that are not allowed to deselect.

Ok, i know maybe is a noob question, but i don't understand whatthe pagepool is very well...

I know it has something to do with the system performance but i don't understand how it does work.

What would happend if i set the pagepool in 5mb (i think the smallest)?

If that's bad for the Pda, is better as much as possible?

I'd like to know because it seems to loose that memory asigned as pagepool.

Rom 30MB + S.O. (The hyma got 64mb)

RAM 128 MB

Ramdisk 40MB

program 61MB

Pagepool 24MB

If aplying 5 MB would leave more memory for running porgrams (up to 80MB) and the performance wouldn't be affected, Would be that the best choice?

Sorry for my english. Regards!:o
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] Maggy:
The Hima does have 64 MB ROM, part of it for Radio (AFAIK GSM, GPRS, Bluetooth), part of it for the bootloader, about 32 MB for the operating system, part meant to be used for EXTrom I believe (I'm a relative noob myself).

AFAIK pagepool lives in RAM and works like cache, low pagepool makes your device noticeably slower.

RAMdisk is a place to store any kind of files just like storage card, just not removable. It's a bit more volatile, shorting the battery contacts will remove its contents.

Program memory is where active, running programs and data reside just for the time being. It's blank right after any hard or soft reset.

I don't know what you mean by S.O. but the most important area for most of us is the area our device calls (a bit confusing) storage. It's where most cab's install programs plus their data and settings by default. It is normally limited to 14MB, by pulling unused EXTrom area to it, you can expand it to 30.5MB.

Still not much but the best we can do. If you don't know how to do this, there's a sticky.

Did I cover it all? No mistakes? (it's late and under these conditions I recently did make a mistake on the same subject...)

FIX ANDROID BOOT LOOP ISSUES ON STOCK ANDROID

Step 1. Remove the battery from the device and wait for 30 seconds and then put the battery again on your device. If your phone doesn’t has the remove bale battery like Nexus 4, then power down the phone and keep it powered off for 5 minutes. This will turn off your device permanently.

Step 2. After that Boot your device in to Recovey Mode. Samsung Users use Volume Up+ Home + Power keys. If you have the other Android device then do a Google search how to enter in recovery mode.

Step 3. Once your android device is in Recovery Mode, Go to the “wipe cache partition” option and select it.

Step 4. After that go back to the recovery main menu and reboot the device by “reboot system now” option.

Step 5. If the device again stuck on Android Boot Loop pull out the battery again and repeat the above steps. This time also “wipe data/factory reset” and then reboot device.

Now your device will come out of the Android Boot Loop and at the first time the device will take some time to reboot.

FIX ANDROID BOOT LOOP ISSUES ON ROOTED WITH CWM RECOVERY ANDROID

Step 1. Follow the Above guide (Fix Android Boot loop issues on Stock Android) Step 1 and Step 2 on your device.

Step 2. Once your Rooted device on recovery mode, go to the Go to “Advanced” and Choose “Wipe dalvik-cache”. After that go to “Mounts & Storage” and choose “Wipe /cache”. In the end go to the main menu of recovery and Reboot your phone.

Now the Android Boot Loop should be gone now. If it still persists, do the following on your device. Go to “Mounts & Storage” and Choose “Wipe /data” after that Choose “Wipe /cache” and now reboot your phone.

Now the phone should reboot normally. And the Android loop problem is solved on your device.

Please comment if any queries.

[Micromax Canvas A1] alza689:
In a boot loop how can you enter into recovery console????

In a Boot loop how can you ever enter into the recovery console. Once the battery is removed the phone offs itself and powering after a while will initiate boot loop again . The boot loop I deem is when powering on the device, it show the android logo, perhaps goes past the logo into the recovery mode for a brief moment to shuts itself off and the phone reboots after a brief pause to reiterate the same cycle until the battery is removed or the battery drains out. How in the world can you enter into the recovery when such an event repeats.

If the phone can enter the recovery and can select commands in the recovery where does the boot loop comes into the scene?:confused: I deem the device is in a soft brick state and the above remedy can be applied for this state alone and not for bootloops.

The only solution for boot loops is to flash the stock firmware using SP flash or the like to the device to have it reinstate to the factory settings.:rolleyes:

Thank you

[Micromax Canvas A1] Black Brain:
No, Booting into recovery is a different thing. You can access Recovery when your phone is in bootloop. In bootloop you try to access specific ROM installed.
[Micromax Canvas A1] Black Brain:
If you can access Recovery, Be it TWRP or Clockwork.

Go to Media Connection > ADB Option ( Available in TWRP )

And Try to " Push or Pull " from mobile internal storage. It might just work. In most cases bootloop results into total data loss. Other option is to create a nandroid backup. Then segregate it to your specific use. It's complicated. Google it and there might be a viable option.

Hello there,

I own an Xperia Z2 (D6503) and I wanted to upgrade it to 6.0.1. I had it rooted so to prevent from losing it I made a PRF and installed it with teamwin (like I have done with previous updates). Once installation finished I rebooted the device which started properly. The problem is that stuck in the starting "wave" thing for 2 hours (the waves were moving but nothing than this). Then I reset the device by the hidden Reset button and powered it up again. It did the same. After all the disappointment I tried to restore it using Flashtool but it says that the drivers of the device need to be installed (while they are already installed).

Please help me somehow. Thanks a lot.
