Chromecast screen casting - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't seem to have the ability to cast my screen to the chromecast.... Went to the app on my new edge and no longer have the option... Anyone with a chromecast and an edge have it?? Kinda sucks.. Had it on my note 3..

Sorry, I didn't realize that you wanted to broadcast the screen. I send movies and stuff to the screen from the chrome browser or apps that show movies.

It's not currently supported. search for mirrorenabler.

Thanks I will check that out.

I'm having the same issue on my AT&T Note Edge. It is not on the list of supported Chromecast screen mirroring phones but it seems as though it should work regardless. Unfortunately MirrorEnabler requires root and I dont think the AT&T Note Edge has been rooted yet.

I tried this today. Not working. It just causes Cc to show black screen.

Chromecast is working great on my Sprint Edge, no problems at all.

I have CC and it works fine on my rooted edge for TMO

AT&T Note Edge. Been using it since day 1 . Never had an issue with it. I downloaded the Chromecast app and was working.

I wanted to check and see if everyone is talking about the same thing. Screen casting is not standard issue on the Chromecast yet, so can those of you who say you have it please confirm that you are able to cast ANYTHING you see on your phone to your TV? I don't have this function with my chromecast, and I never have on any of my devices

As I type this, it is being casted to my tv...I'm on tmo note edge, nk3 rooted.
Until you att folk get some sort of safestrap or another towelroot, not much can be done. Unless Google chooses to support it, but it's unlikely considering the limited amount there are.

Same here. I hadn't had that ability on any previous devices. Pretty cool!

YouTube app suggestion please

I totally understand the concept of ADs but seriously getting killed on every video I watch with the native YouTube application. Can anyone recommend an alternative that maybe can block some of those ADs? I would also love an option to fast forward/ rewind ten seconds. Those r the only two options I need. Anyone?[emoji6]

Yes you are right. No root for now for the US version.

I'm using FireTube (actually for listening music, because it works with screen off or with another application on top). By default it doesn't download video, but you can enable it with the button marked with yellow as you can see in attachment. I never saw or heard any AD with this app!

Samsung S8 Plus no Live Broadcasting mode, missing Modes?

I had the NOTE 5 and now the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.
I went to the Samsung store and most MODES ARE missing.
Missing MODES that I had on my NOTE 5 Sprint US.
Live Broadcast.
Shot & More ( Eraser, Best shot, burst)
Dual camera ( the S8 version is static not resizable)
Virtual Tour.
Video collage.
Interval shot.
Sound and shot.
Sure the camera works ok, but live broadcast was useful and the Shot and more Eraser was great to fix when people walks on your shot.
Supposedly this is the most expensive Galaxy Phone and we get an unpolished camera app.
I mean the NOTE 5 had already Nougat, just port that Samsung.
Probably someone will try to port it, I ask because I have no dev experience.
I wonder, Is the International version missing this MODES? Anyone knows how to port the NOTE 5 camera to get live broadcasting?
Thanks.
Go into Galaxy Apps and you can download Dual Camera
As for the rest I don't see it on my T-Mobile version
Here's the list I got from my phone.

It is not missing. They have excluded it from latest software versions. No Live broadcast anymore.

any way to get them to add it back on. that sucks
They removed it cause you can live broadcast directly from the YouTube app now. Edit*Scratch that you need over 1000 subscribers for now.

Nope
It's an annoying omission, and no compelling reason that I can see. We were using the Live Broadcast selection on a Note 5 to live stream our Sunday celebration, but having traded in the Note 5 to get the big discount on the Note 8, the setting is no longer available. Yes, you can live stream to YouTube, but just checked at you need 100 subscribers to do MOBILE live streaming. We certainly don't have that big an audience. You can still record through the app and it will upload for viewing -- just not in real time. Again, though... why?
Maybe try sideloading it?

is there any way of porting the Shot and More Mode
Can just use facebook live

Possible 8.1 Casting Bug - Looking for users to verify

Both my wife and I have a Pixel 2 (non-XL). Both are on 8.1 with the December security update. Prior to the 8.1 update, we both could happily cast YouTube, Netflix, and photos from Google Photos without issue to our smart TVs and our Chromecast Ultras. Yesterday, I discovered that all that has changed since the 8.1 update. We can only cast YouTube to our TVs and Chromecast Ultras now. We cannot cast Netflix at all, nor is there an option to cast photos anymore. We cannot cast our screen via the cast shortcut found in the swipe down menu. Also, when I go view nearby devices to cast to in the Android settings...there is nothing listed.
To narrow it down to an issue with the phones: I factory reset the Chromecasts (didn't solve the problem). I factory reset one of the Pixel 2s (didn't solve the problem). Then, using my laptop I was able to cast Netflix just fine to my devices.
I called both Chromecast support and Pixel 2 hardware support. They were unable to fix the issue. Pixel support finally surmised that it is a bug with 8.1 and offered to send both my wife and I phones with 8.0 installed and told us not to update until this issue is fixed. I chose to keep our phones as this option did not seem worth the hassle. However, if no one else is having this issue with their Pixel 2 on the 8.1 update...then I will need to call back and obtain two new devices.
I would appreciate it if this wonderful community would see if they have the same issue or not and report back.
Thanks!

Works fine for me. Have you opened the Google Home app and made sure it's linked to your Google account, or that the cast device is seen there?
Occasionally need to stop and start cast again for google pictures, but it works. Netflix is not a problem.

[DESKTOP MODE] gathering info about that :)

Dear All,
I bought a oneplus7 not that long ago, and I wanted to play with the so called desktop mode. Idea is, back from work, to put the phone on a dock, being able to use my tv for browsing web with a wireless keyboard/mouse, maybe watch stupid yt video etc. Replacing my old laptop for very basic tasks.
The idea is to buy this 30euros dock station so I can have a convenient way to get internet on my tv :

}
So before buying any hardware stuff I wanted to know if some of them already played with this mode, does it worth giving a try or is it just too early ?
thx
Nico
So I got a Oneplus 7 and currently running Android 10. I enabled the Desktop Mode in Developers and have tried it out a little bit. For me the it isn't very usable. It is stuck in a certain resolution and I want to change it but haven't figured it out. A guy (who is busy right now until the end of the month) has been working on a launcher to use called Flow Desktop found in Google Play Store. It does have some promises and would love to see his app become more than just a concept right now.

You need the secondscreen app to change the resolution.
BTW it seems that if you want to use [email protected] there's no compatible hub yet.
So i bought a simple adapter and BT keyboard

I don't need 4k. 1080p would be nice. Do you have an app to recommend?
I've got no recommendation, Desktop Mode community is not really active for the moment. (Or a least it's just the beginning)
Here's a little something:

There is a comment about OP7Pro in the post:
"I just received my NexDock, and video works fine following above instructions. I can't figure out how to make keyboard/touchscreen work with my OP7T though. Keyboard/touchscreen work fine with a raspberry pi.
Any ideas?"
With no responses. Sad.
Anyone able and willing to create a modified version of the OnePlus Launcher with the following code implemented?

Question Tesla app / galaxy watch 5

Hi guys
I'm getting this phone imported to the UK but have a couple of questions I really should have looked into before ordering!
I drive a Tesla and use my phone for keyless entry. Works on Bluetooth. Will that work alright with the fold2?
I need to replace my aging and breaking Galaxy Watch Active too. Ideally I'd just go for the latest Galaxy Watch 5 but just want to check it will work? Will it? If not, what would?
Many thanks!!
I had problem with my Samsung watch 5 pro sometimes it would be unresponsive also have problem with app like facer and watchmaker not working. Once I root my Fold 2 everything work I had to add magisk-module-miui-cn2global-lite and install Samsung wear and install galaxy watch5 plugin.

Hi, can you share the steps? I followed Jip's instructions, to pair via samsung health. But it always gives an error when installing the watch 5 plugin. It says there is a problem parsing the package
UPDATE: I finally got it to work. Please see my post here if anyone is interested how I did it..
