Built In Wifi Feature On Nexus 4 Problem? - Nexus 4 Accessories

Hotspot freezes my computer then makes it go to the Blue Screen Of Death. I have other hotspot apps but I'd like to use the one built in on my phone, any suggestions?

Wrong section to post a troubleshooting question. Post this in the Google Nexus 4>Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.

If you're using an Intel WiFi card, that's probably the cause. People had success using much older drivers. 15.1 works for me.
Edit: Intel drivers version 15.1 works, 15.7 blue screens

**URGENT**I cannot connect to home wifi with new roms

Yo
Anyway, I have so far used hydro 4 and cm10- both ran nicely and initially connected to home wifi. However, I took it on holiday for 2 days (and meanwhile was connecting to other networks) and when I returned I could only detect wifi from other houses, not my own. This has happened twice, as soon as I go anywhere different, and then come back and try and connect, I cannot detect my homewifi.
A reflash will sort it, but the problem will come back if i use other wifis, then return home.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks

Did you go back to stock and test? I would assume it isn't a hardware issue since you can connect to others, so I would then troubleshoot your home wifi, and see why it isn't connecting to it. And the reason you are taking a beating over this, is it has nothing to do with development, so don't post ****ing stupid questions in this forum.

LOL I like the fact that its also **URGENT**. hahaha.
That's why we have the General and Q&A section, for this type of questions. Please, lets keep the development section for the developers who contribute(I am so thankful).
Let's try to keep this clean and organized.
Just forget all networks then reboot and you should be able to connect again.......
Throw your router in your trashcan and buy another one..
or ask your ISP, I think this has nothing, seriously NOTHING to do with bad fw or anything else on the device itself.
(and to be honest, I don't like the "Yo" at the start of the thead, find it out by yourself you irrespectful ***hole..)
There are few rules I'm a fan of, but come on people, simple organization.

[Q] Help: App Teamviewer Quicksupport doesn't work

Hi guys,
I'm writing this post for a friend.
He just bought a N5 device but he needs the app "Teamviewer Quicksupport" in order to use the phone.
He's already got it on a Samsung GS3 with android 4.1.2 and it worked perfectly, but now on the Nexus5 with android 4.4 Kitkat it seems not to work.
I explain you the problem:
When he connects the phone to his laptop using the app Teamviewer Quicksupport, the client on windows shows a black screen.
The app doesn't crash and N5 doesn't freeze.
Is there someone who can help us? i think it's an incompatibility (communication) problem, due to the new version of Android.
We will be very grateful if someone could recompile this app or can suggest us how to fix it.
PS: The device is already rooted (with stock rom).
PS2: If i made some mistakes, I apologize to the moderators.
Thank you!!
Stefanone_91
[Edit] it works on my nexus 4 with AOKPK 4.3.1
I've attached a screenshot

I suggest contacting the developers. Support ticket, or something.
I've yet to be able to use TeamViewer without a TouchWiz ROM, even on my S4.. if I flashed CM10 or something else, it wouldn't work. But if I went back to a TW ROM, it works.

In my experience team viewer doesn't work on any device that i've had with 4.3 or above. It would not display my note 3 screen stock or rooted. it worked on my s4 and about 4 other s4's on different networks. But I'm not surprised it doesn't work on kitkat.
I think teamviewer needs to update their software.
I've already written to the teamviewer support, but they didn't answered me
galaxy s4 with original 4.3 not working. i can only see a black screen, although it seems that keyboard input from the PC is working ok (entering text, moving through icons etc.)
i'm also interested in a resolution to this...
I have the same problem and I've messaged the developer to see if they can look into it. Are there any good alternatives to QuickSupport?
According to their page, QuickSupport only works on Samsung phones. Between this fact, and that even recent S4 owners cannot get it to work, seems that it was mainly for SGS3, which I can confirm does still work. Unless they update, I doubt it will work on any non-Samsung phone.

Hi,
as i said in a previous message, the app works on my LG Nexus 4, which is not Samsung.
This is a link to a page that shows the app's compatibility whith other devices/brands:
"androidpolice.com/2013/07/12/teamviewer-quicksupport-drops-samsung-exclusivity-now-offering-free-remote-support-on-all-devices"
This weekend i'll have a test with my Nexus 4 (mounting Android 4.4 Kitkat) in order to see if the problem is caused by a newer SO.

there aren't any other alternatives for android 4.4
The support has just sent me an e-mail:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for getting back to us.
We got some news from our developers that this is unfortunately a known problem in the current version. Our developers are already working on a solution and this will be fixed as soon as possible. We are really sorry about the inconvenience.
There is Webkey, which also works as remote access for Android devices. I got it working on Nexus 7 (2013) and Nexus 5 with KitKat, but only on the same WiFi network. Can't seem to get it to work on mobile or outside WiFi networks.
The developer also seems to be on hiatus or abandoned the app - no update in over a year.
Hopefully TeamViewer comes up with a fix for KitKat soon.

I just checked Nexus 5 and 6 with the latest Teamviewer Quick Support. There is still no screen-sharing or true remote control. I am running Pure Nexus 6.0.1.
I also checked both with the webkey app and I am pleased to say webkey works for remote control on both.

No errors & I just tried that and no luck. It's a Vizio TV which I'm testing on. I've tried on another Vizio TV and a Samsung one with no luck too. I know it works or at least worked on the Samsung TV but now it's not working at all on my Vizio TV and I doubt even the Samsung one. (havent tried samsung again yet) Also I put my S4 and M8 beside each other and tried using the same app to turn on my TV and where the M8 failed multiple times the S4 turned it on within half a second first try. I even took off my Otterbox case to try and see if it was somehow blocking it and it still wouldn't work. Could this be some sort of hardware problem or could it be software?

From what I've read, the IR port is the power button too. So make sure you are pointing that end at the tv. That Otterbox is quite bulky, so make sure the power button area flap is up while trying remotes out.
I don't think it would be a hardware issue if you are able to use the stock tv app to control the tv.
What ROM are you using?

I know and I did, still wouldn't work. I'm also having an issue getting 4G in areas where my friends can get it and their using Verizon too so maybe i have some type of firmware issue and I need to flash a stock RUU as suggested in my thread about that.

Video camera
Been using Liquidsmooth for the past couple of days and I've been getting decent battery life and 95% of the apps I've tried have worked great. I'm seriously considering this for my daily driver. The only thing is the camera. Open camera or other camera apps on play can take pictures, but they can't take video. The apps throw error messages like "this mode isn't supported" when changing bit rate or frame rate or resolution. Basically it seems the app is unable to get any information about the physical video camera from the OS.

I seem to be having camera and WiFi issues. For camera, I can't use apps like Google translate. I get an error "camera has stopped' and it FC's. As for WiFi, it has trouble turning on and off. I usually have to restart my phone, otherwise it says " turning on/off WiFi" forever.
You have to use Open Camera to take pictures, sorry video doesn't work some say vivavideo works. As for wifi don't turn it off and when connecting to a new network hold the wifi notifications toggle and wait for it to connect.

Noticing some things that are causing battery drain. When I look at the Battery usage the apps or services with the highest usage are things like Google Play Store or Browser and Bluetooth. Turning off bluetooth stopped that. I had to Force Stop the Browser and Google Play Store. They both had 'Mobile radio active' times above 2h 30m even though I only had maybe 20 minutes of screen time. I did download an app that took about 30 seconds though. Something about the apps are keeping the mobile radio services going.

I have to link it because it doesn't show up in play store searches for some reason.
Attempting to use the phone while connected to my car bluetooth doesn't use the bluetooth connection for sound or mic. The bluetooth is connected and it says Phone and Media audio are both available. The phone becomes unresponsive and eventually asks if I want to wait or stop.
I have TW4.4 NE1 on my phone. Does that prevent me from upgrading to 5.X?
I know once you go 4.3/4.4 you can't go back....wondering if the same goes for going forward.

Do I still need to use Safestrap or can I flash it just like any other ROM?
-I hate question and answer threads, but I understand and appreciate their purpose. To that end. I must ask. Is 01-29-15 the latest build. If not where could I find those. I've looked so far on android file host and drdevs and g+ liquid.
I'm running 01-29-15 and I don't think people are getting my messages. SMS. Calls go out fine. I use selectel so it could be something with that. I hope I backed up everything I needed. and did a nvbackup.
Sorry if this has been asked, even sorrier if it's been repeatedly asked, but I do search both liquid threads and the other sites to be fair..
EDIT:
SMS works for me. Sorry about that but couldn't get anyone to reply back quick enough. I have settings turned on to get delivery receipts and to use a "dark" theme, Nether are working. Is this an issue.. And Please don't think I'm *****ing. I know this is early still in the ballgame and we're lucky honestly to have something this nice up and running. And to have a couple choices
Now on to the question of where to find the latest builds.

Confirmed working Miracast in any rom?

I just got a Pixel, and I'm ready to sell it if no roms support Miracast. Chromecast is not an option - I need a phone that works with the Miracast standard. I have tried to mirror to a LG TV as well as trying two Miracast adapters (Microsoft and generic models). None have worked.
On both the Nougat and Oreo factory images, Rooting and editing build.prop did not work. The adapters/TV are visible, but the connection always fails.
Before the phone goes on Swappa, has anyone had success using Miracast with any rom. I searched, but the only results are those of people asking the same question as me.
Thanks for any info...

I have great news - I was able to get Miracast screen mirroring to work using the CRDroid rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/rom-crdroidv3-2-t3607271?nocache=1). You still need to edit build.prop (add the line persist.debug.wfd.enable=1) and turn on wifi. After reboot, the phone immediately found the TV / adapter, and connected. I was able to mirror my screen, view pics, and a video. Another plus is that this particular rom is incredibly smooth and fast - even more than stock Oreo.
I'm glad I don't have to sell the phone now. Hope this info helps others with this question.

I just got the Pixel 2 XL, but same issue. Have not rooted my phone yet, or any phone actually, but I am willing if this will allow Miracast. Do you think it should work for me? Wifi is not an option so Chromecast is out and Pixel/Pixel 2 don't support hardwired options. What do you think?

This is great news! I always had thought it was hardware driven, but fantastic to hear that software was able to enable it. I wonder if @BeansTown106 knows about it? I believe he is currently compiling the next PureNexus Rom based on Oreo 8.0. Would LOVE to see this feature added in the next revision.

You still need to edit build.prop (add the line persist.debug.wfd.enable=1) and turn on wifi. After reboot, the phone immediately found the TV / adapter, and connected. I was able to mirror my screen, view pics, and a video. Another plus is that this particular rom is incredibly smooth and fast - even more than stock Oreo.
I'm glad I don't have to sell the phone now. Hope this info helps others with this question.

does this work with the Pixel 2 XL by chance?

are you sure its working ?
can you send screenshot

I just got Miracast working with "crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180405-marlin-v4.1" for the Pixel XL. I just went into settings - connected devices - cast - then hit the three dots in the upper right hand corner to 'enable cast'. then on my Fire Stick I started device mirroring. Bingo! Fire Stick shows up as connected. Works with VLC and Youtube testing so far. Sound and video. Rotation of phone to horizontal creates full screen (55" TV) mode. I have magisk 16* installed but there are no settings I used in that app for this to work, just wanted it noted as it is the only none stock app installed so far.

UPDATE: Didn't notice I was in Pixel not Pixel XL forum. Hopefully sailfish works as well.
Web video caster works well for me on all ROMs and I'm using firehound ROM atm, just make sure you turn battery optimisation off for this app and adjust your setting's to your needs. I've tried many casting apps and this one seems to be the most stable best one I've found. See below where you may need to tick boxes to suit your TV/miracast needs. Also make sure you have no other apps running, only this one and that your on same WiFi network too as well other device on same network. Hope this helps

Wrong forum. This is for the Google Pixel.
