So, I wanted to update my Allshare Cast dongle through my Note 10.1 today, and I was surprised to see that Google Play say my Note 10.1 was an incompatible device? Whaaaa? I also went to the Samsung App store and the Allshare Cast SW update was missing from there too.
What gives? How can I update my dongle now? Does someone have the latest APK or something? Should I bother Samsung?
I have the same problem using my Galaxy S4. Any solution?

I myself used to encounter various issues of ACD connectivity with my GNOTE 2/ GNOTE3 & GNOTE 10.1.
I found along the way thru trial and error that the ACD device always seemed to work flawlessly when first booting into a clean / factory reset / stock rom type of environment.
Though upon moving forward with custom hacks, tweaks, etc. it would always knock out all access to using the ACD and or applying dongle updates from the playstore.
Unfortunately, reinstalling a clean apk of ALLCAST just does not work.
The only work around I found that does work (or at least for me) is the following:
*Start off with a clean fresh factory reset (Root/SU is OK)
Before ANYTHING, connect wireless to your ACD. Make sure you are up and running with full connectivity.
Immediately after...Literally, use Titanium Backup to backup your entire system apks (specifically Allcast.apk)
Then proceed to custom tweaks, etc.. This way you always have a working backup restore of Allcast.
Somewhere along the way you are bound to get hit with connectivity issues. I am not sure why or what causes this but I can assure the TBackup always works to reinstate working status.
Hope this helps.

Hello All,
I recently upgraded my stock Xoom from HC to JB 4.1 and of course, flash stopped working. I had held off on all updates due to reports of it getting wonky after ICS, but I eventually went ahead when I kept reading of the success of sideloading the latest flash apk and using Dolphin HD or the stock browser.
My problem is, although it does work to a degree, the main reason I need flash is for Amazon prime instant streaming video and many of the network TV sites like abc.com, tnt.com, fox.com and the like. Now when I play video, it works to a degree, but is often too choppy to be watchable. A bigger problem is the audio, although the sound quality is flawless even with choppy video, it is NEVER in synch with the video. The last issue is if I try to watch full screen, the picture blacks out entirely. A minor nidge is that Dolphin keeps disabling flash on its own saying it is no longer supported.
Am I SOL here or is there any help I can hope for?
You can install flash and use the stock browser....flash will work flawlessly. As for the A/V sync issues, not a clue.

it's not flawless if the audio is delayed and it blacks out if you go full screen. Do me the favor and try to watch something on ABC.com on your xoom and report back.Thank you.

Sorry it took so long. Ok i did as you requested. I watched 3 different shows on abc, i had no lag, stutter, echo, choppy-ness, and the audio was in sync.
I would check your flash player settings. Open the Flashplayer app in your app drawer.
• Local Storage: clear data/storage.
• Local Storage: Always Allow, if this setting is currently marked then use "Only From Sites I Visit"
•Peer Assisted Networking: Enabled, if enabled try disabling it and try again.
If any changes made, Force Stop the Flashplayer app and Browser under /settings/app/ and clear cache only on both. Then try watching a show again.
As far as the screen timing out when on full screen; this is a JB issue, as JB technically does not support flash.
I hope this helps.......

Thanks so much for responding. No need to apologize for timing.
Unfortunately, none of these steps have fixed the problem. Strange that it would work on so many stock devices and not mine.
As to the full screen issue, it's not timing out. It just goes all black as soon as you hit the full screen button. The audio keeps playing however. This is true on the stock browser, Dolphin HD, and Firefox.
Thanks for trying. Any other ideas? I'm starting to think My days with my beloved xoom may be coming to a close. I just despise the thought of having to give Apple any $$$.
I've done quite a bit of researching but cannot find an answer I'm confident in, so...
Has anyone had success getting telephony to work on these devices? I recently updated to 4.1.2 with the OTA update from this forum. However, before I did that, I was on 4.0.4 (factory), then on the DoubleShot kernel and rom. I rooted, unlocked the boot loader, modified framework-res.apk to enable phone (one of the bools files has a line something like "phone_enabled...>false<...". After doing this, recompiling, and reflashing the rom, I was able to place outgoing "true voice calls" -- no Google Voice, no Groove IP, but a REAL voice call (with 1G or whatever the base mode for voice/SMS is). These calls originated from the VZW number associated with the sim card in the Tab. I was NOT able to receive incoming calls or send/receive SMS text. I tried everything I could think of to get these to work -- no go.
---Fast forward, aver several days of flawless outgoing phone calls---
Flashed the OTA 4.1.2 (and TrustZone and the modem) and everything worked initially. Tried to edit the framework-res.apk again, exactly as before. re-applied the update with CWM (and TZ/modem to be safe) with edited framework-res. CWM said successful, but the device would hang on the boot screen.
Any ideas how to enable phone, or why my previous method didnt work with 4.1.2?
Also, if anyone knows how to get rid of the ongoing WiFi notification (even when connected, wifi off, etc), that would be AWESOME! I know some people long-press the notification -> app info -> kill app, and that works until wifi status changes.
I've actually been trying to figure out the telephony thing myself but could not find it. Glad you did! I'll see if I what I can do also. I'd love to enable telephony on this tab and include it in doubleshotrom. Let me know if you figure it out.
For wifi - view this thread regarding the S3 [HACK] Remove WiFi reminder
It used to work on this tab on 4.0.4, don't know if it changed in 4.1.2
I'm glad you saw this thread MrHyde. I've been following along silently in the development forum (almost to 10 posts haha)
Do you have any ideas what the difference might be between 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 that would cause such a different result (failure to boot after flashing)?
I'm going to try going to the DoubleShot JB kernel (hopefully tonight) and see if it helps. Does the new DoubleShot for JB swap the storage mount points? If it does, how can I disable it? Switching back and forth between installs that don't BOTH do this is becoming a problem for me.
For the failure to boot, you need to install the TZ (trust zone). It's listed under the Requirements heading in the DoubleshotROM thread, or you can grab it from the OTA thread.
Yes the new dsr does swap the sdcards. To stop it, three ways:
1. After flashing, use adb (from CWM) or the built in file manager (TWRP) to delete /system/etc/init.d/ExtSd2InternalSd
2. Open up the ROM zip and go to /system/etc/init.d/ExtSd2InternalSd and delete it, then flash
3. Flash it normally, then use a file manager to delete /system/etc/init.d/ExtSd2InternalSd, then reboot.
Edit: just read it again and completely missed the point lol. I dont know why it would fail, but im gonna take a look. Cant imagine its much
Could you tell me exactly which file contained this phone bool? I can't seem to find it..
Decompile framework-res.apk
Look in /res/values/bools.xml
Toward the bottom, a like says something like "phone_enabled=false"
Remember, doing this, I was only able to make outgoing calls--no incoming, no sms.
You mean "config_voice_capable"?
I get a bootloop.. I think the framework-res.apk isn't recompiling properly. logcat just shows a bunch of errors
Yeah that's it. What are you using to repack?
Can you post your error log?
Now that i have time to look into it more, i think it may have something to do with the non-hlos modem we've flashed for the OTA JB.
do you think this is feasible?
Any way to unlock this I705 for using with Tmobile SIM card?
Any breakthroughs here? I would love to use my TAB as a phone.
Any updates on getting telephony to work? What would happen if you flashed the ROM for the Note II onto the tab 2? Or would this work at all? I would really like to make the tab 2 my primary phone.
Thanks.

I was able to do it with ICS. Ever since I flashed DoubleShot Rom (JB), I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to work again. The method that worked for ICS does not work for JB.
I've only been able to get an outgoing call, but it goes straight to my own vmail. No other success.
Its personally not that important to me, though.

I'm getting really close to ending my 25 year business relationship with Verizon. I'm tired of piss-poor service, even though their coverage map indicated solid 4g signal and their representatives confirm I should have good service at my address. It isn't only my home address, but many other locations bi frequent. So one of two things -- either all 5 devices on my account are defective, or their coverage maps are misrepresented. Either way, Sprint is getting better in this area, has the Note II, and is significantly cheaper. And the Tab 3 8.0 is only slightly longer than the SCH-i705.
Few more questions here.
What did you use to modify the framework-res.apk to enable phone?
What did you use to de-compile, is it a special program or what? Same with recompiling.
I wonder what would happen if you got a SIM card that is used for a phone and used it in the tablet. Would this allow the phone calls and text to come in? This is something I would be willing to try if I could get the tablet to the point that it had the dialer on it.
Next why is it when I go to sammobile.com I am unable to find the SCH-I705 listed at all?
Like I mentioned in an earlier post would it be possible to flash the ROM from a Galaxy Note II or similar phone to the Tab 2?
Thanks.

apktool. Look it up and follow instructions to get it working.

A SIM card from a cell phone might work if cell data was enabled properly.
sammobile does have 1 firmware version available. I dont know if its still there, but I nabbed it when I saw it.
http://garrettek.com/android/SCH-I705/ROMs/4.1.2/I705VRBLL2_I705VZWBLL2_VZW.zip (VRBLL2 JB 4.1.2 official, tested, working)
No. do not flash Note II ROMs on your tab 2. The ONLY device that is remotely compatible with the tab 2 lte is the verizon gs3. Except, if you flash a vzw gs3 rom, your display drivers won't work properly. Everything else will, but display drivers won't. One way around this is to flash the i705 kernel over top a i535 rom. But even then, no guarantees it won't break your tab.
It worked for me back on 4.0.4 (except the kernel).
Ok, I no longer have verizon service and would like to know if there is a way to switch it somehow so I can use CM/other roms.
Since I dont have the verizon 4g service and only using the WIFI.
Hope I worded that right.
Anyone?!
Hello guys,
this is goin' to be my first post on xda-developers sure that this should normally be placed in another thread but permissions to do that are still missing.
I don't want to create useless board blowing posts only to reach more than 10 to get the permission to disclose some bugs I found in the current CM11_saga_flinny_alpha5..
First of all I wanna thank all developers for spending there spare time for such great projects!!
Issues I recognized:
1) Apps moved and located on the sd-card will loose the desktop link after reboot of the system as often as I place it onto the primary screen.
2) The current Brower often crashes whenever I'm on for example facebook watching pictures it crashes, reproducable.
3) in options under developer options activating error report doesn't bring any report up for sending via email
4) could anyone please evaluate if downloading i.e. Redphone or Textsecure works within the GooglePlay Store? I can't although it is compatible to android 4.4.2 so I guess that there is a mismatch between the googleplay and the alpha5 permissions
thanks.

Hey
I had the second bug to. I reflashed and wiped cache and co and it was gone. No idea why.
I have Problems wieht the Headphones control. Does it work at your device? I get no symbol in the statusbar that the headphone is in still can hear music and sounds but the thee control bottums of the headset don´t work neither the microphon.
@Flinny and @devilkin
Known/recognized issues on both ROMs:
Please evaluate if downloading i.e. Redphone,Textsecure, WhatsApp works within the GooglePlay Store!?
I can't although it is compatible to android 4.4.2 so I guess that there is still a mismatch between the AndroidManifest.xml and both of your ROMs. Permissions or something like that..?
Calling somebody and than trying to "mute" the doesn't work so there's an incorrect function.
Moving apps located(moved to) on the sd-card will loose the desktop link after reboot of the system as often as I place it onto the primary screen.
Gererating Error Report doesn't work seems to be no function behind it..
Hope you guys will fix these bugs...anyway thanks for your great work on supporting such an old phone. Still love my Desire S
I'm currently using the recommended 20140517—version and am having some problems with mobile data, so i assume this is a bug.
Mobile data in 3G networks works flawlessly, but in 2G networks it won't connect to any site/page or service. Though sometimes I get some incoming Whatssapp messages or push-news-content. Never Bad this problems with stock Roms. Provider is Vodafone Germany.
Hello, I have issue with screen casting, it doesn't work, it finds my chromecast, but when I select it it says immediately disconnecting so I cannot mirror my screen (wireless display is enabled). Casting with apps like youtube, photos, etc works perfect. Anyone knows what's the problem ? I'm on stock 4.4.4 rooted, with xposed, latest play services.
Chromecast firmware no is 19084.
Tried rebooting router, rebooting chromecast, rebooting and wiping cache on phone, still the same.
Thanks

I have this same issue, trying to cast screen always disconnects but with youtube and others, chromecast works pretty well.
Have you tried to disable the AP isolation on your router settings? I've tried this because its in google recommendations.
Please let me know if you found a solution.

I have lg smart tv with webos, but when i tap on "cast screen" on my nexus device it won't find my tv. Streaming video via dlna works good. Do you know how to fix this problem?
Viper for Android screws it up. Otherwise go to settings/apps/all. And Google play services and uninstall updates right back to stock. And clear data. And force stop. Then go into an app that requires it's usage and it'll automatically update again sorting out the issues.

So it seems that the Here wego maps/navigation app is not available for the s3 if you aren't using a Samsung phone. (I happen to use an LG v20)
Has anyone found a way to side load the app? Or what is the best alternative maps application for the s3?
Ok I found a way around the issue for anyone watching this thread... It's a little crazy and not for everyone.... I happen to have a Samsung Galaxy S7 as a work phone... I connected my S3 to that phone, where it installed HERE by default.... I then backed up the watch to my samsung account and then reconnected the watch to my LG V20 and restored the backup which included HERE.... Boom.... Problem solved
That's strange.. I got my S3 R-760 back in October 2017 from the UK. Immediately paired to a Sony Z5 and has been like that ever since, even after the ROM updates. One of the first things I did was to install HERE. Can't remember how exactly but it wans't a hassle so I assume straight from the watch or the store. I guess it has been removed after I installed it. Using it now as a standalone, no connection to the phone is required, just direct connection to the internet via wifi or hotspot. Of course I do not have the convenience of using it through the phone which could make it easier to search etc, but it is good enough.
Nice workaround you found, but for those that do not have the option of a Samsung phone, this thread could help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/wego-t3724511/page3
Hmm - I downloaded from Google onto my OnePlus 5T, installed on watch from Gear store and that was it.
