Cast Screen to Chromecast - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey gang,
Have any of you tried the new Chromecast Cast Screen feature yet?
It keeps 'Connecting' then 'Disconnecting' for me.
My girlfriend's Galaxy S4 works perfectly on our Chromecast but on my G3 it doesn't.
I can't help but wonder if it's the QHD screen it's struggling with. The G3 is one of the supported devices so I'm assuming that it's been tested.
If any of you guys have had success it'd be helpful to know.
It's an AWESOME feature by the way!

Firstly are you on ART or Dalvik?
Try clearing cache and data for the Chromecast app then uninstall it, reboot and install from the market and try again.

I was wondering if it might make a difference, but try my other suggestion first.

The behaviour on mine is as follows:
I click on Cast Screen
The app says its Connecting
The picture on my TV goes from default Chromecast wallpaper to a black screen
The app says its Disconnecting
The Chromecast icon in the notification shade continues to say its connecting
Then NUFFINK!
My girlfriend's GS4 connects immediately with almost no lag.

I have been on ART since I got the phone, and at the risk of taking this off topic, I am starting to believe that most of the benefits of being on ART are actually placebo (just converted back to Dalvik and the phone feels exactly the same).
I will be testing casting when I get home.

Don't tell me it doesn't work either mirror cast is bobbins so I got one through the £18.99 TV deal

Exactly the same as what I had been getting (but I was on ART). I know some people on here have said they got it working on the G3 though, so something must just be preventing ours from working.

Someone said you need the latest chromecast app beta which is not avaliable on App Store yet for mirroring to work so where is it?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/974202/com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app-1.7.4.apk is that it ?

The Chromecast app in the play store is the one that is working on my girlfriends GS4. The feature is in Beta but the app is just the latest version.

1.7.4 is the one with Cast Screen enabled.

Mine is working now, I did two things so please try them in order (1 first, then if that doesn't work try 2)
1) Clear Cache and Data on the chromecast app, uninstall it, reboot then reinstall from the play store.
See if cast is working
If not try step 2
2) Switch to Dalvik
One (or both) of these two things managed to get screen mirroring working for me.

Will it cast the 4k video I recorded to my tv

Success!
I first tried step 1 but no luck. Step 2, switching back to Dalvik did the trick.
And as ART currently makes no real perceptible improvement IMO and experience I'm happy to stick to Dalvik until a bit further down the line.
Cheers LennyUK!

[Q] HELP! FFIII Crashes

I have rooted my OUYA and everything works great. EXCEPT that FFIII game will just flash and then go back to the PLAY games. I have almost beat it and don't know what to do. I don't want to reinstall without backing up my game progress, but don't know how to do that. I have rebooted, forced closed, and crossed my fingers. None of those options seem to work. I would appreciate any help I can get.....please?

Is there a way to backup my save files and try to uninstall and reinstall? Would that work? If i uninstall and reinstall will it make me pay for it again?
That makes two of us... Just rooted my Ouya and installed WonderEkin's Mods for Ouya for HDMI forced resolution and Overscan fix... Now my FF3 is also not working.... Is it the Xposed Framework?
---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------
Good news! I finally got my FF3 to work... If you use the Xposed Framework with WonderKin's Ouya Mods, just disable the mod from the Xposed Framework "Modules" tab (uncheck the box). The last settings seem to still take effect (at least the overscan fix still is on) but now Final Fantasy works!
Hope this works for you!

Build number JWR66N breaks Netflix on all devices. Wait for the next OTA or install it yourself with one of the guides.
I'm still on JSS15J though... no updates yet.
I had a similar problem. I just cleared the app data, force quit, restarted the app, and logged back in. I'm on JSS15Q though. Not sure if that matters.

This does in fact matter. As far as I know, netflix is broken on JWR66N and will only work on the JSSXXX builds.
You can fix this issue manually here. You must have the ADB tools on your computer, and can get them from this thread. This is how I fixed mine. Just make sure you pay attention and know what you're doing.
EDIT: I recommend going to JSS15Q from whatever build you are on.

A reboot didn't do it for me. This only happened on my first run of Netflix on my new N7. Netflix was one of many apps that were automatically restored on sign-in, and I'm thinking it restored the data along with it. I don't recall being asked to sign in the first time I ran it, when it failed to work properly. After clearing the data and signing in, it worked fine for me. Either way, it works now.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I am having the same type of problem.... I have a rooted 2013 N7 on the latest firmware (JSS15J).
If I use the netflix from the play store I get stuck on the first red screen with the spinning logo and can never get past that point. I have tried uninstalling about 100 times, clearing app data, force closing app, rebooting, etc.... nothing works for me.
I had to go back and install an older version of netflix to at least get it working at all.
Is this happening to anyone else and if so please let us know the exact steps needed to work around this.
Thanks!

To be quite honest, stock android on this device is buggy as hell so far. I am a stock/rooted whenever possible kind of guy generally speaking(I always prefer it since you can get OTA's etc), but I was forced to switch to CyanogenMod 10.2 KANGS on this device, due to crazy bugs. They are now a thing of the past. From the smart-cover bug to the GPS bug to the Netflix BREAK, all of these problems are no problem for me. So go get PA or CM or something until Google/Asus gets their **** together! :good:
Same here. Stock non rooted. Can't get past the red screen.

If you go back to 2.4.0 build 939, the bluetooth audio problem goes away, here's a copy from my backup:

May need to install, and do a force stop / clear data before it connects. The Netflix Android app seems to have more bugs than functionality.
{"result":"error","error_code":"1012","error_string":"Cannot find requested object id "}

[Q] Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 On screen controls, Netflix, BBC iPlayer

There is definitely an issue with the on screen controls and Netflix, BBC iPlayer, TV Anywhere (Virgin) etc
Many people have complained on Netflix's Play Store page by giving 1 star and saying since the Netflix update you are not able to pause, scroll forward or back as the on screen controls appear for a split second and then disappear, but it isn't Netflix's fault as the same issue exists with BBC iPlayer (downloaded content playing back only - not streaming) and Virgin's TV Anywhere.
This only began after the OTA upgrade to 4.4.2.
Apart from my feelings that the battery is draining quicker, the navigation is not as fluid and the native video player sound is not as good, this update has proved to be a failure in my view.
I read that the bootloader was locked so custom rom is out of the question at the moment (I think, not that clued up on such issues) - but I wouldn't want to root anyway as it renders Sky Go and other apps useless.
Can someone shed some light as to what is wrong and how to fix?
No problem with BBC I Player. Don't use the other two. I'm rooted and been able to get rid of some of the Samsung junk. Can't run apk's as reported in another thread. Have you a link to the bootloader issue?

So if you download a programme on iPlayer and watch you are able to pause while watching?
The thread I saw the locked bootloader info was here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788770 - but I am not sure if this is referencing a different rom?
Sorry for delay in replying. Yes I can pause. I'm also note on CM11 4.4.4. And extremely happy

Netflix

The Netflix app still wont work on this thing. 10.5 WiFi. Anyone else experience this?
no problem here. does it work on your other devices on the same wifi network?
Yeah It works on everything else - 2 phones, a kindle and a couple of laptops. That's what the guy at Netflix asked too - he was useless ☺. It just goes to the spinning circle forever....
Hi, I believe there is a limit to the number of devices you can link with your Netflix account, worth checking if that is the case

NoleKat Rom for T210(R) Q & A

This is a Q and A thread about the Kitkat based NoleKat rom for T210(R).
Please post any questions you may have about the rom here in this thread. I will do my best to answer.
Here are a few of the common questions:
Q: Does ART work?
A: No, this is a deodexed rom (ART requires Odexed). The option has also been hidden by Samsung.
Q: Why doesn't the boot animation display?
A: Boot animation works fine for some and doesn't display for others. This is due to the difference in hardware versions (likely due to different manufacturing dates). We have tried to fix this in the kernel, but it caused other (worse) issues.
Q: Why can't I connect to wifi and wifi settings causes black screen?
A: I have no idea why some (very few) devices have these issues. If your device has these issues, I am sorry, but I don't know how to fix it.
Q: Does this rom support OTG?
A: No, it is a hardware limitation. The T210(R) will never have OTG.
I will update this list as necessary.

Firstly, thanks for the brilliant work, as soon as my wallet has something in it ill donate for sure. The main problem im having is lack of gps. I use my sm-t210 at work as a satnav, but all versions so far, I have been unable to get a connection. Ive installed "faster gps" but still nothing. At the mo im having to restore to 4.1 everytime I need satnav, and my internal memory is running low as I cant wipe it or I have to download my satnav map again.
Any ideas please?

Most likely will never work. I think we don't have hardware support for it, but I could be wrong. I also have no way to even test.

I think it has hardware support because im using the 4.2.2 version works perfectly to connect to the tv. But as what u said, you have no tv to test it to. Thanks for your effort and this nice rom. I'll just wait if you could come up eith a solution. Im still using your 1.4 version.
