Has anyone had success using the screencast feature on their chromecast with this phone? I tried installing the latest CyanogenMod nightly (cm-11-20150104-NIGHTLY-epicmtd) along with the gapps-small for CM 11 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps#Downloads and the phone was able to find the chromecast and even begin connecting to it in order to start the screencast (the TV screen even changes to black to show that it is trying to connect), however Google Play Services immediately crashes on the phone afterwards and causes a disconnect. An error then appears on the TV saying something went wrong while connecting and to try again.
I just wanted to know whether anyone was successful in using this or if they know how to make it work. Any info is appreciated.
Same issue here
I'm having the same issue. I downloaded the Mirror Enabler v7, but the button to disable "Force Close" (which I think is referring to that crash on the Google Play Services) is dithered. It does say that the app has not been successfully tested with the Samsung Epic 4G, but I gave it a try. The app does throw an error message that mentions an audio_submix file is missing from my CM 11 mod so I am still holding out hope that if I can get a nightly with that in it that it will work. If you mod has it, then it could be worth a try.

Thanks for the link. Didn't know about this. Did you try the fix at the very bottom of the first post? It sounds like a fix to the problem you have.

I updated to the new netflix today and I am getting this error when attempting playback of any show. Anyone experience this?
Same here. Tried both my Samsung Galaxy S (T-Mobile Vibrant) with Android 2.2 (Bionix-v 1.3.1) and my wife's Vibrant (stock 2.2).
The error that appears when attempting to start a program is:
We are unable to start playback. Please try to restart it (13007)
After this, it appears to hang and then crash. Help!
It works fine on my samsung captivate.
still no solution.
I tried it with one item, got the same error 13007, and restored the previous version from backup. I am afraid that eventually they may turn off the old version and force an upgrade, but for now it works.

It wouldn't be legal to post without permission from Netflix.
I did see on ArchosFans, that after two reboots, the new version starts to work.
Didn't seem to do the trick
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
Yes it is working
Yes 2 reboots on my Archos 101 and is working, thanks a lot
Two reboots on my Archos 70 seems to do nothing -- worse when I uninstalled it, and installed the 1.4xx version from Titanium Backup, the old version insists I upgrade!

I know: I hate that they force "upgrades" like that.
However, the new version seems to work now.
Has anyone found a fix for this? The two reboots thing did not work on my 101.
Any ideas on this guys? a buddy of mine is having this issue with his Vibrant.... thoughts?
Not working on my Archos Internet 70
The last version forced me to upgrade now all I get is 13007 errors. Anyone know what that means? I tried uninstalling, resinstalling, killing all running apps, uninstalling other apps. nothing works.
Has anyone got this working, I'm really pissed I can't get it going.
OK, guys. I found a work around for Netflix app. I got it working on two different 101s. Hopefully this wasn't posted already. If it was disregard this.
First you need to have Arctools installed to get the android market. If you don't already have it on your device, here is a step by step video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWyjeMXQMOU
Make sure you follow step by step. I didn't do the format the first time, and it wouldn't install the market right.
Once you have the market on there, you need to download the old version of netflix (1.4.1). APK is in post. Download and install the app. When you first launch the app it will tell you you need to upgrade, click the OK box. The next box that shows up will be the "Complete action using" box. It should show you the two options "Market" or "search". When the box comes up, press the back arrow. This should take you to the Netflix home page, and there you go, you can stream! The reason you need the Android market is because without it the "You must upgrade" won't give you an option on how to upgrade. (see attached pics)
A couple of side notes.
1) If the "Complete actions using" box doesn't come, you need to clear the market as the default app. To do this go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications>Find the Market in the list and click "Clear Default". That should force the box to pop up.
2) The issue I had on mine was once I start streaming something the back button freezes the video. The only way out is the home button or wait till force close pops up. The one I did for my friend didn't do that. When the back arrow was pushed on that one the "need to upgrade box" pops up. If it does, follow the same steps from above. (Press OK, then when the select option box pops up just click the back arrow). I know the Force close is an inconvience, but hey, at least you have streaming video.
I don't know how long this will work, or if they plan on patching so you can't do this (or fix their stupid app). Hopefully this helps the people that couldn't get the app working with the multi-reboot method.
If it works for you, please make sure you hit the thanks button.
As of today 12/15/11, Netflix released an update for their app, and it fixed (at least for me) the 13007 error. So upgrade to the newest version and test it out!
I recently bought a Zeki TBD753B. It was cheap thats why I bought it. It has Jelly Bean on it.
I have read through every possible post I could. I found out I had to root the tablet and install google play.
I have followed a lot of the posts I have seen. I was able to root it, but for some reason Google Play just will not work properly. I can get it installed but everytime I run the app it crashes on me after 5 to 10 seconds. I get "unfortunately Google Play has stopped working". I have even used Link2SD to change it from a user app to a system app. At this point it won't even load and i get the stopped working message right away. I can only assume that I am missing some kind of file. I tried the newest versions of Play and even an older version down to 3.5.19. I have tried clearing the data and the catche. I am at a loss.
The only reason It is such a big deal to me is that a majority of the apps I want to download seem to be only on Play.
forget this post
I finally got it figured out.
It had something to do with the version of Play I was using when I installed it.

Which version did you get to work and do you have a link to it?
Last summer I had my Fire TV rooted and set up with Xposed to fake Wifi access so that I could use my Xfinity app via ethernet. Previous to that I was using FOX-FI and my phone as a Wifi hotspot but Metropcs blocked the ability to do so.
All was well until the unit started turning itself off a few months ago. I was sent a replacement that I believe was a refurbishment and it NEVER updates (i.e. never updated to the Prime option on the left side of the menu) -- which would be great except I haven't been able to root it (most likely it's unrootable). Now I have a 3rd one and I just need to know how I can run my Xfinity TV GO app on it (after it's sideloaded) without having to use WIFI. Also, where is the list of serial numbers or whatever it is that allows one to know if the box can be rooted?
Thanks in advance.
The newest version of Xfinity Go does work over ethernet. I do have a lot of buffering issues when trying to watch on demand video though.

Really? I'll download the new app then sideload it to see if I'm still being told to connect via Wifi. I'll update later.
I'm getting the errror message "Sorry ,we are experiencing some difficulties. You can continue using the app, but not all areas may be working." What do you think the problem might be? I searched for this particular error but only viewed unanswered questions.
And when I went to 'Bookmarked' This popped up:
"An unknown error occurred during this request. Please try again.
Instantiation of [simple type, class com.xfinity.playerlib.model.tags.Network] value failed: Invalid int: """
Are you sure you have the newest version? Its at version 2.4.2. When I tried an older version, I would get that error about experiencing difficulties. But the new one works fine. And you should get a popup about it working with mobile data the first time you open it.

Yep. I went and downloaded the lastest from Google Play after typing my response. This one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xfinity.playnow
Hmm, did you get the popup about mobile data now working at least? I have no clue why it wouldnt work for you unless you are on an old version.

It's still not working. I included the link to the version I installed today. So, I'm not sure what the problem could be. There's a version of Xfinity for X1? users with cloud that I don't believe applies to my account. I've retried it a few times now and it shows the same message

If you don't see that mobile data popup then you likely do not have the newest version. Downloading from play store may not always get you the newest version because the version it lets you download is based on what device you download it from. Google "xfinity go apk 2.4.2" and find it that way and make sure you are downloading version 2.4.2.002. If that doesn't work, I have no more advice for you because I have no clue what the issue is.

I tried installing that same file on the older rootable device that won't update and the new non-rootable one and it's the same "experiencing difficulties" error. I was able to navigate to the 'Live' streaming area and when clicked to view a channel I got the "No Wi-Fi Connection. You must be on Wif-Fi to stream video content." pop-up. So, that's the true issue --- this version isn't ethernet compatible. I also tried to google for that apk and there were only a few sites that didn't seem to be safe. Would you be able to upload the apk that you have working via Ethernet?

I'm having trouble downloading any movie onto my Note. I hit download and it just briefly started downloading then pops up "This video couldn't be downloaded" No error number. Have 6GB of space left. I'm able to download it on my chromebook & phone. Anyone have any experience with this?

Well, i guess you have not had much problems with google, so you may not know how to reset google issues.
I find resetting google krappa is just as problematic as having to reboot windows. Depending on what proggys or updates are used. Ha!
Step one... remove google account. Step 2... in application manager go to all apps and select google video and clear cache, and data and stop app, all in order given.
Step 3 is optional but important as Google Play controls a lot of things that also get corrupted time to time. Do the same reset in google play store.
Once you have reset, start the troubled app, and login using an existing account with google. Once authenticated you should be able to set your settings and use the app.
If by chance you are using a rooted device and are redirecting downloads to SD, it may keep Google Video from saving to SD.
One odd thing that i found with a particular custom ROM that i use... i had to modify my platform.xml even further for media to allow some apps that have odd permissions that request fail to request Media not SD or default storage.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the help, but it was to no avail. Still can't download. I'm running civato's 4.4.2 build. I wonder if there's some type of missing app/something.

Ah, well it may be the kernel... I could never mirracast with his 4.4.2 build, but able to do so with his 4.2.2 build. Don't do Google Video so I can't verify on my build, but most everything else for streaming.
Were you able to download before you updated google video? I have found a number of apps breaking as of this year. Some I may never update because of Marshy Mellow compatibility. Too tired of correcting by restoring by backup , so I just wont bother doing updates anymore.
You can try Boeffla kernel 2.6 it is very stable and does work on stock and modded Touchwiz ROMs. If it don't you can always go back to Civato's kernel.
Hi Mi A1 Device Holders,
I was curious of Google Floating Dialler on my device running Android O. So tried a modded APK from one of the threads. However I couldn't install the mod on to my device when it was in Beta stage. After several attempts.
Now Google have released a new version v17 in which the floating bubble dialer is enabled by default. You may refer to the below link.
https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-google-dialer-floating-bubble-2/.
So I wanted to try it again and went to Playstore and it doesn't allow me to download. Tried downloading and installing from Apkmirror. However I couldn't install it.
But I managed to install it with a small tweak.
Here is the Guide:
1. Hold the Phone app Icon and Click App Info
2. Scroll down to Option Phone App. If it is showing YES, you will not be able to install the new app. So you need to change it NO.
Note: You will not be able to do it without another Dialler app installed on your phone. For this, I installed TrueCaller App and then changed it. You may try with other dialer apps.
3. Install the latest app downloaded from ApkMirror or the one attached below.
4. Again, hold the Phone app Icon and Click App Info and shift the Phone App from True Caller(in my case) to Phone app.
5. You are done.
Enjoy :good:
Hit a thanks if you like it
P.S:
I was using v16 which got automatically updated from Playstore from the previous version. On top of that I installed the V17. My device is not rooted and using stock os...and I find absolutely no issues or lag or whatsoever
well in my case i just installed it and it worked voilaa.... Thanks for link
Thanks for the APK. I was able to install but now I can't search for contacts using T9 dialer. I now need to manually tap the search bar on the top and type in the letters.
Even manually searching is really slow and delayed.
Any fix for this?
Edit: The problem goes away if I roll back to the default Phone app, but comes back once I reinstall the above Apk.
What's going on here?

It's working fine with me.. I find no such issues. You may try clearing the cache/data of the app. See if it helps.

I tried that but it didn't help. Any other ideas?
I figured out the issue! For some reason Google Phone v17 did not work well with Contacts v2.4.
T9 dialling was very slow to search the contacts (10-15 seconds).
I tried everything from reviewing permissions, clearing cache, removing accounts etc. But nothing worked.
Finally I decided to manually check apkmirror and update the Contacts app to v2.5 and presto! Reduced lag when using T9 dialling!!
There is still an ever so slight lag compared to when I roll back to the v13 Google Phone, but it's much more usable now. Hope this helps!

Have you tried setting the new phone app as the default and disabled the old one?
I was using v16 on January stable build and all was fine then i downloaded apk of v17 from apk mirror and it was also working fine aftert that i changed my rom to new February beta and now after installing v17 when i open phone app a popup appears everytime with a message that this app is not compatible and calls may not work correctly. Even though app was working fine but that popup was irritating me so i modded my phones build prop to pixel xl 2 and now Phone app is compatible with my Mi A1 and i can see it in play store aswell ??????
