Can't cast SMB Networked media (NAS) - Playing stops dead and won't restart

I use "CX File Explorer" on my Note 8 to explore my shared networked drives. (NAS) When I tap on networked media in CX File Explorer it passes the file to MX Player Pro to open. The files play perfectly on the phone screen in MX Player as they should. However, if I then hit the cast button in MX Player the playing file stops dead.

I see open media information on the cast screen with the MX Player logo at bottom. If I go back to CX File Explorer and reopen more media in the networked folder the same "open media screen" stays on the cast screen. The phone screen flashes like it tried to open and then acts like nothing happened. Networked media will NEVER open or start. Happens on ALL networked media files once cast is enabled.

If I leave cast enabled in MX Player and then browse to local storage in CX File Explorer and open another copy of the SAME media file it will start playing perfectly on the cast screen as it is supposed to. The phone screen will also change to MX Player control as it is supposed to. Everything works properly as it should, providing the media is on LOCAL storage and NOT from a networked drive.

So strange that networked media works perfectly in MX Player when cast is OFF and not at all when cast is ON. What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug? Proper casting has only just been added to MX Player. I love the cast feature. Can we get cast working with media files on shared network drives? (NAS)

Hi,

Is it worth to repair my S7 edge?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kshitij84:
Not really unless you manage to get a phone with a working display to use it , but still not worth it, my advice, upgrade
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MrDSM:
For information, it is still woking, but only has that screen crack.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kshitij84:
Yes I meant don't repair it , unless they repair only the glass , a lot of times they replace the display too which isn't worth it at this point
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ttocs99:
Can get screen glass repair on eBay but the actual screen has to work. It's worth fixing .
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Scorpionea:
Without right equipment to separate glass from digitizer it's very difficult and chance of breaking it is extremely high.

IMO it's not really worth replacing for few crack , it's not that bad I've seen worst and still people using they phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ttocs99:
That's not what I ment. You can send the device of to the repair specialist on eBay and he'll do the work and send the device back out. I should no I got mine done that way looks good as new.

So i was trying to flash to a gps rom from a Bell rom, to get gps and i might have used the wrong unlocker. The bootloader number is 1.01 even though i'm almost positive i ran the ImCokeMan 2.31 unlocker, now i am stuck in bootloader with no roms sticking custom or stock. Any suggestions or ideas?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jim256:
hmm thats strange. do you have your carriers official os and radio rom? if so, try flashing that, then starting over again. i am going to be making a quick and easy post on how to get to gps/rev a roms here in under 2 min...try giving it a read after you have flashed back.

EDIT: also...tell us all the steps you did so that we can help others in the future/easier diagnose your problem.

good luck and feel free to ask any questions
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] raybond25:
well the thing is i have already tried to flash the stock rom and i didn't work either..it would start then the screen would turn of and when it came back on was right back in bootloader, when this happened RUU just said check usb connection

i was flashing the Alltell gps rom

steps:

Connect via activesync

run Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe

run the rom .exe

get stuck in bootloader with no other roms working either
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jim256:
so what unlockers have you downloaded? what other unlocker could you possibly have used?

try running exitbl.exe round in the rom exe or the ruu folder.

1. so what files were used in the process?

2. what rom did you flash/use (what is "the rom .exe")

3. what carrier are you on?

4. did you let any customizations run on any roms?

EDIT: also, have you given this a read yet? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=394039

i would also recommend at least skimming over dharvey4651's tutorial to see if this has happened to any others and he has posted a "how to fix your device if..." kind of a thing for your case.

Hello there. I have the car stereo 8" VW POLO 6R Android Double DIN AC83XX. Suddenly, when I opened my vehicle, I noticed that the my double din was completely reset. Radio does not work, physical keys do not work, all settings are reset. All the menus were returned to Chinese. By entering the hidden menu (Password: 8888) I made all the settings as far as I know. However, the physical keys still do not work in any way. I can't even turn up the volume. The keys do not respond. I was hoping to introduce key combinations from the hidden menu to the KEY tab, but I think he wants me to upload a file from the SD card. Maybe it has a setting so that the physical keys don't work, but I failed to solve this problem. Can you help me for my physical keys? I think the problem is software-based. Thank you in advance for your help.

Happy Days..

Hello,

After changing tons of phones in last weeks/months, i finaly got my s5 mini, my dream phone it seems. It is of a perfect size for me and it is very grippy due to rubber back cover. Now i want to improve it as much as i can. I want to stay on stock 6.0.1 rom (unless u see there is any point in downgrading ?). I will first say what i did and then ask what i can do to improve it further.

What i did:

1. turn all animations to 0 in developers options

2. turn off s voice

3. disabled all apps i could that i dont need

4. turned off a bunch of other things i dont need

What i need help with:

1. what else can i do to further improve performance

2. google maps app seems a bit slow. Any way to improve it or is this phone simply to weak

3. any tips for camera, how to take better photos/video, any settings i should change ?

[Galaxy S5 Mini General] xd Jack:
Hello,

I personally think its kind of funny that someone says that the s5 mini is their dream phone in 2019. I mean its kind of old and outdated now and while I can of course understand that you like the size of it and the rubber back, there are many alternatives which also dont break the bank. I think without rooting or flashing another Rom, your experience is not going to get better than it already is. The s5 mini is not the most powerful phone you know. Anyways I used a galaxy s5 mini from 2014 untill 2018 and I was never really happy with it. It was always slow and sluggish, though the camera was good for 2014 and what I really liked about it was its ip67 certification, I got into the pool with it xD. I ran it on Android 4.4.2 for most of its live, mainly because I rooted it in 2015 and thus couldnt update to a newer version of Android. But in late 2017 I decided to factory reset and flash a stock Android 5 Rom via Kies. After that I updatet to 6.0.1 Marshmello, but in early 2018 the hole thing was to slow for me and I threw a custom Rom on it. Android 8 but it was in beta and very buggy so I flashed Resurection Remix with Android 7.1.2. It was already way faster and more modern than on the stock Rom. But then I found a Kernel that would let me overclock the cpu from 1.4 Ghz to 1.6 Ghz and the Gpu from 400 mhz to 600 mhz. So i used that Kernel and the phone was actually very useable. The first time in 4 years of ownwership, I was really happy with my s5 mini. I bought a new phone (Honor 9) though only like 6 weeks after flashing the Kernel lol. The Honor 9, after 1 year has never let me down tough and im very very happy with it.

S5 mini G800F

Hi there,

I'm happy with my S5 mini (G800F), but I really need an Dual SIM device with better battery life and will have to get one soon. Battery life is weak point.

I have installed LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2), didn't have success to install Gapps though. Using F-Droid and YalpStore. There are some bugs with the camera (it stops working) but after restart works fine again.

It is an OK device, but a bit slow and with short battery life.

Unfortunately from 2-3 weeks there is a problem with my main microphone and is not the mic itself but some motherboard bad connection or something. Works fine with headset but it is not really convenient :)

According to some people if one switches Off the LTE the battery life is better.

Instead of Gmaps I'm using HereWeGo, OruxMaps and Sygic - all for free.

About the camera: I am using Open Camera. The camera app of LOS 14.1 is really plain :) Of OpenCamera I like the DRO option, but it takes a few seconds to generate the picture.

Hope you will find the best way to use your S5 mini. It is very cute device with so many advantages like notification LED with RGB, ambient light sensor, NFC, IR, AMOLED, small size and weight... I will miss all of this in such a small and ergonomic package.

I understand your point. There are no more under 5" devices with normal specs. So sad...

Best regards!
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] Pokemetti2:
I can't say for sure, but I quite like Viperos and AOSPExtended Oreo. Not using it actively anymore though.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] Nonamecroonos:
I recommend the unofficial LineageOs 16 custom rom for you. This is the most stable rom I’ve ever seen for the S5 mini.

Only Requirement is to have the G800F model.

Otherwise you will break you phone.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] SirRGB:
Im running CrDroid 5.12 on my g800f with the Spookcity Kernel and Magisk. Although I'm using a Oneplus 5 as my main device I'm very happy with the results. You can run Android P roms like Posp, LineageOS, CrDroid, bootleggers or Aosp (extended). I think you can get very happy using POSP with Open Gapps nano/Pico. But CrDroid is the only rom, which is getting updated. It also is the only Pie rom supporting NFC.

[Galaxy S5 Mini General] Pokemetti2:
This might be a pretty late reply, but I hope it can help.

If you want to stay on Marshmallow, I would really recommend rooting your device. I can't tell you exactly which, but you can deactivate a lot of system apps with root, which can improve performance in some scenarios (Look at some debloat script from other Samsung phones - a lot of the apps are the same). For deactivating system apps I use this app. Alternatively you could try to deactivate system apps without root with ADB.

In my opinion the Google apps are all very slow and all the system apps slow your device down a lot (from my experience the Google Play Services and especially the Google Play Store), which is why I either use microG on the Stock ROM or at least deactivate what I can.

Sadly you can't push much more performance out of this phone, especially not without a Custom ROM. It has four pretty weak CPUs and one really bad GPU - don't expect to be able to play any even slightly demanding games, better stay at those 2D titles. The only way to make it feel faster is to use the lightest

- OS (in my opinion any Android 6 ROM)

- system apps (disable unnecessary-seeming ones - but be very careful!) <- of course only on Stock ROM

- third-party/user apps (if an app is slow, look for alternatives - for example you could look at OSMand or MAPS.ME istead of Google Maps)
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] dave678:
The Google app is a mandatory update with the new Play Store layout and app updates eat into the storage of the phone.

An image says a thousand words:

Imagine that you're sitting in the sofa watching TV... how are you going to see which menu button you have selected? (Hint: The "Audio" icon is selected...).

The whole top-bar has a very very very very faint background to show the highlighted selection. I can't even see it on the TV when there's lots of motion in the video behind the bar. I have to pause the video and look around and move the cursor a bit to find what is selected!

Here's someone who has the same annoyance: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77833100&postcount=5

Please, can you release a mini-update which makes the background selection color for the top-bar + the menu (the one opened with "...") configurable? So that we can actually see what we are selecting. :crying:

I set up an Android box for my mother who is 70, she can't see what choice she is picking! :crying:

[MX Player] Virgincola:
Hi

2023 and I see the same thing. I experience two different videoprojectors where the highlight background color is invisible (not faint, more like impossible to see at all).

Problem is controls are made through remote control, so with multiple click-click-click to get to the right button. Only way to select something is to go top-right multiple times until we don't hear the move sound, then go left the number of times needed to get to the right button.

Problem also appears on other parts of the UI as I only see a background color on the play/FF/Next... set of buttons.

I have searched through ALL settings involving colors, changed everything, but no setting allows to change this background color.

Please make our lives better
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
I like this device but it's a little slow for me at some points. It's not a shot at this device which I consider a decent value but I'm retty sure I'm going to move into something else, possibly this fall. That something being the Pixel 4, I like everything about it so far except I would have preferred a symmetrical bottom/top bezel. If I don't bolt this fall the spring is a near certainty but I've got no guess what might be the more interesting devices at that point. What about you folks, happy enough to have not considered it? Thinking about moving to the next thing? If so, what?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMeeseeks:
I might get the Pixel 4. It depends on what they do with ram and the cameras. I would like a telephoto lens on the back but so far I've been reading the second sensor may be a wide angle one.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Google confirmed 3, wide angle, telephoto, and infrared. The last seems to be a bit of a mystery as to what it's going to be doing, some think it's for improving night shots but no one seems to know exactly what all it might do.

I just read an updated article about the Goog leak and I need to make a correction, it's a spectral sensor, not infrared. My apologies for the misinformation. I'm still probably in, I've no idea what spectral is but it sounds like something I want.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] duh1:
Google self released preliminary images of the Pixel 4, and I got to say the square bump-out that holds two back cameras and a flash LED does not look great, either from Apple or Google. There was previous renderings of a slick smooth back with a flat oval that contained the cameras that that looked much more impressive. Consensus was that was a cool clean design. The feedback on what was recently released, not so much.

Copying Apple designs by itself does not guarantee success. The previous design looked original, however what they put out now just looks like another Apple clone...
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stinger4321:
ah who cares what the back looks like. put a case on it.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Looks like the base stats are starting to get out there and the Pixel 4 is more and more shaping up to become my next phone. If Samsung hadn't made it such a pain to root I might consider the Note 10 but after suffering through the 8 I'm pretty much done with them unless a very unlikely turn around comes in their policies. These are really the only two that have been pinging on my radar, seems like their should be more but there is always some catch with phones nowadays...
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00292:
I'm just hoping the hideous notched display and useless curved edge display era is over across the next generation of phones. It definitely limited my choices this go around because I'm not into gimmicks over practicality; but hey - that's just me.

The pixel 4 looks nice so far, and more OEMs are starting to ditch the display notches as well, so at least we'll have better options coming around in the future.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Yeah, no question, I didn't make friends with notches and at this point I'm sure I never will. Only had one as it turned out, the 6T, which didn't kill me but I never stopped noticing it as some people say they do.
