Basically, whatever you read is correct and there is no easy way to resolve this with software.

All pixel phones support only Chromecast, which is Google's proprietary cast implementation and they don't support any other native casting, like Miracast.

There is no way to cast your screen to a device that does not support Chromecast, even if it supports other casting technologies. Which leaves you with either:

buying a chromecast dongle for your TV (can be found for relatively cheap from Google)

or to try some kind of third party cast app installed on your phone and on your TV.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any such apps, I gave up on casting a long time ago because it doesn't make sense for me if I'll have to jump through hoops to get it working.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Andi32790:
I would get a chromecast they are relatively cheap and it's android so you can install 3rd party apps if you need to.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] griz.droidx:
Many apps allow similar functionality allowing access through a browser. VLC will usually "cast" whatever it's playing.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Super_Pedro:
Thanks everybody for your support. Sorry, was out of here for some time.

I will try with VLC and will see the Chromecast option.
[Huawei MatePad Pro Questions & Answers] Deleted member 12806680:
Hello,

i was just interested what would happen when i install the Retail Demo APK on a Device that isn't a actual Demo device. It was a completely normal device, bought from Amazon 2 years ago. For explanation: The retail Demo App is normally installed in Devices in the Huawei Flagship Store. It makes a few Features unavailabel and Shows ads

I downloaded the APK from here, installed and opened it. Then the problems started. My device was now in Demo Modw (yeah, i'm stupided and don't know what i expected.) The brightness turned to 100% when i turned the device on, a few Options in Settings were disabled and all Reset Options for the Tablet aren't available, even Reset of the Network settings didn't Work. I can't select it in settings.

The App enabled Itself as System admin and can't deleted normally.

So i used ADB to disble IT first and then delete it normal like every other App.

My Tablet runs nearly normal now, but Factory reset stil isn't working. Reseting (Network) settings is working now, but still no full Factory reset.

Here ist what i tryed already to Reset:

Settings: The Option just can't be selected.

View attachment 6067646

Recovery Mode: Factory reset is greyed out and also can't be selcted.

eRecovery: In eRecovery, Factory reset can be selected. It ask me to enter the Word ,,yes". When i continue, my device reboots only Show ,,Reset failed".

ProjectMenu: It Shows ,,Restore fail because Your Phone has been customised for Security".

View attachment 6067655

Fastboot: fastboot -w Shows ,,Wipe succesful but doesn't format automaticall". When i reboot i see that absolutely nothing is deleted.

How can i reset my device now?

My hd has suddenly gone dead. The battery light does not turn on even if plugged in. I have tried to reset while plugged in but nothing happens. Connecting to the pc also doesn't help. Also tried to put it into bootloader without success. This does not feel good. Any ideas what might be the problem?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MistaRip:
might be the usb connection. could be loose or bad
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] VIPPER2004:
Have you tried to remove the battery, and put it back in..had a littel problem like (during unlock) that would turn on, removed the battery for 10s and put it back in and it turn on.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] duttythroy:
HI Bro Iknow ur pain, this happen to my diamond also, one day just didnt turn on after unplug from my vista machine. Only thing I could think of is that maybe there was a short circuit somewhere between pluging to the computer with usb.

You will have to send it for repairs unfortunately
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MistaRip:
forget what i said.

i thought ur phone turns on but doesn't charge.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
The problem is that I have installed a custom rom...and no way of reverting to original...does this void my guarantee?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
Came back ...for now

I tried this and it magically came back. The strange thing is that I had been taking the battery out and putting it back in many times ...but perhaps I had not left the battery out long enough.

The battery also seems full which is kind of strange since I had been using the phone all day without charging.

In any case, I will leave it charging over night and report back tomorrow.

Thanks for your help!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pdc4:
Hi,

Sorry for "using" the thread, and I am glad that it was resurrected, but... VIPPER2004, in end were you successful for the unlock? I have exactly the same problem, and so far have not succeeded... Any suggestions?

Thanks,

P.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] VIPPER2004:
Glad its working...

pdc4 was a mistake i made using htccode soft, im clumsy :P but everything went okey :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Black Antitoon:
You'd better reflash a stock ROM and keep it for a while until you are reasonably sure that it was just a case and won't happen again. ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pdc4:
Hi again,

I am also trying to use the same soft, but no luck... could you please, eventually by PM, tell me the steps that worked for you?

And it can be in Portuguese... ; )

Thanks,

P.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
Dead again

Well...it did happen again. This morning I found it dead again while plugged in. Unfortunately, I did not reflash it to stock rom. I can now only hope that I get a second chance to reflash before sending it off. Any other ideas are welcome.......
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
entering the new year without my blackstone

Looks like my hd has to take a trip to the factory.

Quick question: since I didn't manage to revert to initial rom does anyone know what the policy is on repairing an htc with custom rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pdc4:
That is indeed unfortunate...

What custom ROM have you installed? Have you checked in the thread if someone else had similar issues? And have you installed any particular program?

Also, you had no such issues while you were on the original ROM?

If you have this type of issues, trying to flash a stock ROM without being sure about the cause for the issues might be a little dangerous... There would be, I suppose, the risk that something might go wrong during the flashing process. And you would risk having a lovely brick...

Regards,

P.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
I have installed Panosha's light version. No one else seems to be having this problem. Is there a chance that the battery is faulty? Can I have it repaired even though it has a custom rom installed?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pdc4:
Hi,

It might be a problem with the battery, but you could only try this possibility if you used other HD... by the way you have been using the wall charger or the usb cable attached to the PC?

Regarding the possiblity of having it repaired, under warranty, it could depend on the repairer itself. At the limit they could refuse to repair it under warranty, because a non-official ROM has been installed, and, specially, because a non-original HSPL is in place... but they could also overlook this, or do not notice it.

I would make sure it can not be "ressurected" and properly flashed before going to HTC service.

Regards,

P.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Black Antitoon:
If you do, then please tell us. That's exactly what I was wondering.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
I have tried several times to resurrect it without success. On one ocassion I had the power light turn on for about 2 seconds then dead again. The only thing I have not tried is to try another battery. I will probably find one by tomorrow to test. Otherwise on Friday it will head to the repair shop...and fingers crossed. I will let you know what the repair policy seems to be here in Greece.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Vatt:
Your phone is not broken!

Duttys ROM does not have this problem. I have had the same with Panosha's ROM and with Touch of HD ROM. The screen goes black and only removing the battery brings it back.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
I wish this were the case, but even after removing the battery I cannot get it to function. Even when plugged into an outlet the power light does not turn on, so it's clearly more than a blank screen.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pdc4:
Well, some other things to try:

- check if some button (including soft reset) is mal-functioning. Try to release, or clean them.

- is any card (sim or memory) in the phone? If yes, remove them.

- has the phone been exposed to moisture, liquids? ensure that it is dried out, but do not expose it directly to heat or to a dryer...

- try to connect the charger to the phone without battery, leave it a little then disconnect, then place battery and finally the charger , trying to power on

- have you contacted the author of the rom about the issue? Maybe he might have some ideas ...

Good luck!

a friend of mine had a similar problem,the hd just go to smart mobility screen and after 8-10sec reset itself(doing the same for ever),no hard spl no cooked rom inside.i tried everything,the hd was 4 days old.he told me the store sent back to htc d.o.a
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] draxredd:

Got exactly the same problem with HardSPL/Dutty 1.1 since this morning, so far no solution found.

I'll try my chance sending it for repair, who knows...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
Window of hope: quick suggestions needed!!

I followed instructions below and

I tried the following (below) and it worked.

Now I am in bootloader mode and would greatly appreciate suggestions on what to do.....Should I revert to stock rom and spl? Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
Progress...but how much

Ok. I have managed to restore the stock os. Everything seems to be back in order....in other words it does not die on me.

Here's the question: should I immediately install a stock sspl or should I wait and see if everything seems ok in case there is no reason to send it back for repair?

The latter strategy would at least let me try another os version if all seems clear. Your advice will be appreciated.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
You can restore stock SPL and use USPL for cooked ROM flashing.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pdc4:
Hi Apap,

Glad it worked!

I would wait a little to see how it behaves now... to install a stock SPL right now, given it's recent history might not be the best approach.

Wait a couple of days, with normal, regular use, and check for abnormal signs.

Also, charge the battery to full, but do not recharge it until it goes below 35, 40%.

If all goes well, it might be safe for you to restore stock SPL, and then to use USPL for later ROM trials...

Good luck,

P.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
obviously, you can flash stock SPL without OS booting even if hardSPL is installed. either use the stock spl NBH I posted, or use USPL, either method works fine.

but my advice: only flash it if you are really about to return it for warranty - as stock SPL has no other advantage.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ~~Tito~~:
I had this problem when I had my kaiser. There are these little metal prongs on the back where the battery makes contact to on the silvery part. Not the part where the battery has a indentation, on the bottom where it faces the phone, bend each of them up ever so slightly and see what happens. Sometimes there isn't any contact to them with the battery causing the phone to stay off.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
Dead again and again....but

Update: After managing to reinstall stock os and spl overnight my blacstone went dead again. I arranged an appointment with someone working for htc reps in Greece, relieved at least that the warranty is intact. Minutes before I handed over the phone I tried this last suggestion. I simply tugged slightly on the contacts with my nails. The blackstone reignited so this could be the problem....but I have returned it for repair nonetheless for peace of mind.

Thanks all for your help...I will report on what the diagnosis is from htc in a few days.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ~~Tito~~:
No problem, sometimes after many "pulling the battery out and pushing it in", the prongs bend in slightly causing it to not touch the contacts.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] frummel:
Well, after getting my P4350 to power up again after 6 weeks of agony, now my 3 weeks old Blackstone has died during a phonecall. It just powered off, and I never got it up powered up again.

- Unable to power up the device using the POWER button

- No LED indication when attached to the power supply

- Unable to boot into bootloader mode using VOLUME DOWN+RESET

- The metal battery pins are not the problem, they connect well to the battery

- The battery has been out for more than 10 minutes; no effect

The Blackstone was in original state; still with the factory ROM.

My best guess goes out to the battery, it might be defective but I cannot confirm this as I have no spare one.

Any other ideas? The last thing I want is sending it to a service center as they assured me it would take 4-6 weeks for the repair....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kaefert:
This worked! Thanks! I LOVE YOU! I already had feard that my device was bricked

Edit: can somebody tell my WHY this works?!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
This worked for me to and it at least allowed me to revert to a factory rom and original spl. However, I kept getting 'black outs' sudden freezes and strange battery behavior (for instance the battery indicator would show either full or empty but no in between). Eventually I sent it in for repair. I will inform you all of the problem when it is returned from service.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kaefert:
I fear that i will have to do the same. I only had this total blackout once, but i need to soft reset the device quite often. And the strange thing is it doesn't hang when doing something with the device, but quite contrary most often when I don't use it for many hours (mostly I need to soft reset it in the morning when trying to turn it on the first time. This is quite annoying because I would like to use the device also as an alarm clock)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nedge2k:
It's just happened to mine too..and I cant get it to turn back on at all. It's hard spl'd and running dutty 1.5 so I'm screwed :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
For some strange reason I couldn't get mine to turn on at all for almost two days. Then, out of the blue, while trying to reawaken it by alternative methods (like plugging it in without battery then adding battery, or slightly flicking the battery contacts with my nails in case the contacts were note touching the battery, or keeping the battery out for a couple of hours), it woke up. I took the opportunity to put into bootload and immediately reverted to stock rom.

I hope you get a second chance like I did.

Indeed, once it returned to life and I had reverted to stock rom I thought it was ok. It seemed to work for about a day...then I got some weird behavior like having the power light on even though it wasn't plugged in, or having the battery indicator show full even though it was being used for hours. Eventually it blanked out on me again and I sent it for repair...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nedge2k:
cheers apap, at least there is some hope! if it would only boot for long enough for me to stick a stock rom and spl on, i'd be happy.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] robertus3d:
Hi guys,

I will report you my identical experience!

I had to pullout the battery for more 12 ours before it wake up and permit to me to revert to original state!

Now with the original rom 2 time this afternoon had to go dead, I had to pull out the battery for few second for waking up again!

Now I'll put it on assistance, but my Rom is stopped!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apap:
Motherboard at fault

I just got word from HTC reps in Greece that the motherboard is faulty and will be sent for replacement...so at least I got a diagnosis of what went wrong. Now I have to wait for a couple of weeks to get it back.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pdc4:
Hi kaefert,

Glad it worked -And it is always good to be loved ; )

The reason why it works is different from situation to situation.

On some cases, (the worst case scenario) it is because there is actually a problem with the motherboard, and the electrical flow trough the circuits is not operating correctly - possibly a bad contact somewhere. That is most likely the case with Apap's device...

On other situations, charging on different chargers, or charging using PCs USB ports may cause capacitance/potential issues. This procedure intends to normalize that, but it should not be used often!

All in all, if it happens to you, you can try to solve it like this once, but, if it reocurrs, and you have not engaged in risk pratices (like charging frequentely with the PC's USB port, etc.) it is perhaps better to check it out.

Regards,

P.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kaefert:
Hmm.. When my device had this incidence i was doing the following:

-) The last time it was charging from a cable was about 10 minutes before

-) Then I shut down the device by long pressing the power button and confirmed with yes

-) Then i took out the battery for changing the SIM card.

-) Thats it..

My device freezes frequently when it is in standby for a long time, when I do something with it it nearly never freezes. Additionally when I reboot it and don't enter my password immediately it also sometimes freezes.

Can you make more out of these observations? Do I have a device with damaged hardware or is this "normal"?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pdc4:
When a device freezes very frequently, that is never normal...

The reasons for that can be very different, however, as there are several factors that might be involved.

The first things to check is the ROM itself. Is it stock or cooked? Are there similar cases, with this same ROM? Have all available (hot)fixes been installed? Does it happens right after hard-reset or only after some time of use? Also, the radio might be the culprit here. Do the freezes happen when you have the sim on, and also happen when you are on flight mode, or no SIM in place?

Second, are other programs (software/plugins, etc...) installed? Did the issue started when these were not installed, or only after some particular program being installed...

Finnaly there is the hardware part, a world by itself...

On your case, I would suspect first of the ROM/software. Something seems to be preventing different power states to be dinamically applied to the device. It is perhaps a call function not adequately addressed. But on the other hand, it might be the hardware that is not responding correctly to the system calls...

If it happens frequentely and you can reproduce easily the situations when it happens, I would try to send it trough warranty. Ensure however, that SPL and ROM comply with warranty requirements.

Regards,

P.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kaefert:
Thanks for helping me with this.

When I got the device it had the stock ROM "Ger 1.14.407.3 (22273)" on it.

But right from the beginning I had to reset the device every morning because it hangs when left in standby for many hours.

Then after a week or 2 tolerating this I used USPL to flash L26_THDV4 on it.

It includes more recent everything. than the stock ROM I had.

But the hanging nearly every night didn't change with the new ROM.

The other thing with hanging after reboot when password is not entered is maybe new, It is much less regular.

I guess I will have to reflash the stock ROM and send it in for repair... What would you say/do?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pdc4:
Yes, that is what I would do too...

Try to make the situation easy to replicate for the HTC technicians.

This way they may go immediatly to the possible underlying cause.

Do let us know how it went.

Regards,

P.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kaefert:
Hmm.. Well.. And how to make THAT one easy to replicate? It hangs when left at standby for hours... I tried turning phone on and off very rapidly but this doesn't hang it. What else does happen to the device when it sleeps?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fidalgos:
The same with my HD yesterday... and I try all suggestion in this topic :( and until now... is death, no charge... no red led in charge... no Bootloader... no Hard-Reset, nothing:(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kaefert:
Okey. Sooo. I now reflashed everything to stock (my splash screen and the rom).

Before reflashing I removed the SIM-Card and the MicroSD card.

Now it seems to have gotten even worse (Or I just didn't notice it that exactly before..).

When left alone for more than an hour, the device is guaranteed to need a reset. (so it can't be the radio, am I correct?)

<---- yesterday

today ---->

okey. it seems to freeze after only a few minutes now. I can still wake it if its just a few seconds after it went to sleep, but if i wait a few minutes longer, than its dead

I'm think im gonna contact HTC now...

More reproduceable it can't get ;)

What do we learn of it? Just wait and everything will sort out by itself. *gg*
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kaefert:
