Chromecast section - General Questions and Answers

I believe there's a section for the Chromecast, but it isn't possible to browse into it on Tapatalk.
Open question for anyone with a Chromcast. Is it common for the sound to get really staticy after about twenty minutes of continuous use?

when I got my chrome cast brand new at Christmas I popped it in a small flat screen and I got static as soon as a started a YouTube video.

Thank you, that's what I suspected. I suppose you get what you pay for. I'll probably get a Roku then.

its not a terrible device, google definitely needs to open source it so we can fix its problems. it still gets massive performance updates, and this static problem only happens probably 1/5 times i turn it on.

Thank you, I'll give Google's tech support a fair chance first. Although mine does it consistently, every time I use it, there may be something that can be done.

Smartphone Hardware Survey

Hello Everyone! I've created a Smartphone Hardware Survey on Survey Monkey to get people's opinions on items like buttons, form factor, memory cards, and screen size. I think it will be pretty interesting to see what popular opinion shows.
I've tried to be as unbiased as I can in the creation of this survey. In a few weeks when we've gotten enough responses to have a good data set, I'll update this thread with the results. Please only fill it out once. Thanks for contributing!
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JTSR5J9
note to the mods: If possible, I'd like permission to post this in some of the more popular device forums. Let me know, Thanks!
Completed the survey

Interesting survey^^
Completed it.
Everyone. Thanks for all the positive talk. Sorry I couldn't get those questions in at this time. The free version is limited to 10 questions. Maybe at somepoint this might grow a little bigger. We'll see what happens for now. I've got 11 responses so far. I'm really hoping to get over 100. We'll see if that happens.
Done :good:

I think you can do a survey with Google Docs ( don't know how, but I know there is a way). Try using it.

done! interesting :laugh::good:
Done. Would definitely like more questions. My personal stake is audio quality and GPS.
For all those wanting more questions, I don't want to add on so as to keep the results consistent. However, if this is successful I could do another one down the road.
FYI, we've already got 21 responses!!! That's awesome!!

A bit OT, Tapatalk?

Anyone having an issue with tapatalk? I can't search for forums (searching for forums to subscribe to, not searching for posts/threads...although I don't think that's working either). Also the forums I'm already subscribe to are very very slow to load. Notice tapatalk.com isn't coming up either....
Mines not working either

Crashes for me at least once a day, especially when there are a lot of graphics on the page.

The xda app itself is also buggy.
Once i open mine, it is just stuck at loading

This would make sense since it is just the tapatalk app stripped down to only view one forum.

the main site (tapatalk . com) says unable to connect.. I think it is related
But I have never had an issue with the Android Central app, which is also stripped Tapatalk, but I use it much less.

I always have issues with Tapatalk. I've regretted spending money on it since I bought it so long ago. It seems the developer just can't fix the issues. I always haven issues with pictures loading, force closing on picture heavy threads, it'll randomly kick me out of a thread for no reason. These problems have always persisted, regardless of my device and set up.

Same here. I hate this stupid app but there is no other choice. It's a crap shoot if pics load or not and it constantly stutters while scrolling. The TT devs are pretty much worthless.
Use forum runner its much better...takes a bit to get set up right but well worth it

Tapatalk 4

So Tapatalk 4 is out and Im on the fence about it. .99c is a killer deal however when I took a look at the reviews it was really mixed. A lot of people say it isnt loading forums/topics quickly. However it still has a 4.3 star overall rating. I did purchase the app and tried it for a few minutes to discover similar issues. (Im running the beta / 3rd version now). It did look a lot different then the beta though. Has anyone else tried it? What are your thoughts? Do you feel its slower than the beta?
I just bought it myself and truthfully I don't see much difference than the public release version.. :S not having the problems others are on the reviews but I'm on WiFi :<

Spotify not showing album art

Can someone who uses Spotify confirm whether they can see album art in the app or the notification shade of the lockscreen. I can't see it anywhere. I'm wondering if KitKat broke it.

Yes, it has to be KitKat. I wrote Spotify service a few days ago and they replied that they're working on it.
The exact words were:
Hello Oliver,
Thanks for that.
Think you are absolutely right and thank you for getting in touch.
I have passed this on to the developers and we will look to fix it as soon as possible.
When this happens we send our best techies to the secret laboratory under an active volcano.
They wont leave till its fixed.
We get King Kong to guard the door so no one comes to distract the with awesome new music.
Kindest regards

Makes sense. When I notice an issue that im repeatedly answering, I write a stock response and share it with my colleagues so we don't waste time writing the same thing a million times each.
I use the same approach on xda

HTC's Gallery

When I had an HTC One M8, the gallery app allowed you play a video and take pictures from within it. Is there a similar gallery app for the S6?

You could, but that's about 25% as efficient as doing it through HTCs gallery. If it's a short video, it could be over by the time your phone actually takes one single screen shot.

Download a third party app from the play store. Aside from that, good luck. There really is no other way. While I understand it's less "efficient", ignoring advice is just foolish.

I wasn't ignoring your advice, relax. But, ignoring bad advice is definitely not foolish (not saying yours was)!
