I have an old Samsung Fascinate, And the screen is broken. Is there any way i could use this for a possible remote camera via wifi for recording aerial video or something, or would it just be worth it to fix the screen. The device is running 4.4.4 KitKat GeeWiz rom, rooted, and adb is enabled i believe.

Hello,
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Young N (gt-s6310n) with Android 4.1.2, rooted. I've installed an app to control my DSLR camera from my phone. The app runs normally, and both the Camera and the OS are supported (I don't know for the phone, but the app always start). I bought a OTG cable, recommended also by the app.
The problem is that when I launch the app, it doesn't recognize the camera, also if it's connected. The only problem that there might be is that the OTG is not abled on the phone. How can I able it?

OTG can be enabled via kernel editing, but the phone's hardware must also support OTG....and in the case of this phone I don't think it have a hardware OTG support.

Hi,
I cannot get my device to 'discover' a microsoft miracast adaptor I have plugged in my tv. This device supports wi-fi direct, so it should theoretically work!
What I did :
I decided to upgrade my system as it was starting to lag badly, after 2 years of use.. I wanted to upgrade to kitkat at lesat, so I could stream movies to a tv. That feature was quite attractive to me.
I acquired CM11 unofficial from this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2637079
full tablet wipe, (Forgot to backup SMS, argh) and it installed CM11 with kitkat 4.4.4 just fine. No problems that I can see, installed slim Gapps package - just for the play store, nothing else. Gonna install Gmail later.
Then I bought a chromecast, it was quite fiddly - It wouldnt find it on cast screen either, I discovered I needed it to run through a wifi network with a permanent internet connection. After this, it showed up on cast screen. Also, the streaming quality was complete crap - so I returned it and got a microsoft miracast adaptor - which apparently has better quality and doesn't need a wifi router!
I can't figure out how to get it to show up. The cast screen tab cannot find any devices. The adaptor sits in the tv, and it shows '"ready to connect" on there.
Since the tab for cast screen exists on my tablet, the functionality is there, and waiting to be used?
Any help please?
Do I need to do something like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 ?
So, no one has provided any tips yet... I'm going to go return this miracast adaptor before I can't get a refund for it.
But before I do, is there another forum category, or another place on the internet where I may be suggested to try for some troubleshooting advice?
This doesn't make sense to me - as the functionality WORKS, it is supported by the hardware, and the chromecast adaptor actually showed up before
First off, I get it. Chromecast is awesome and Miracast kinda sucks. I know. However, I was searching for an AIO video solution for my minivan that I could control from the 1st row (refuse to use DVDs - 2014 T&C has 1 HDMI port behind the 2nd row). My Chromecast works awesome tethered to my phone's hotspot. Other than for the first time setup, you don't even need a second device. You can cast from the device hosting the hotspot which is slick. Perfect for in-car. But I wanted to be able to cast local content so network reliability does not become and issue when traveling (Netflix, Emby, etc). Enter BubbleUPNP. Bubble will transcode on the fly (on the phone) and cast anything you have to your Chromecast (Chromecast is super limited on codecs). This was perfect for when I was in the car. But I needed a solution for my wife. Unfortunately, due to me holding on to my unlimited data on good 'ole VZW, my wife does not have native tethering enabled (iPhone - not going to JB it either). My idea was to get a deactivated phone (in this case, a Galaxy S5), enable the native hotspot, and use the Chromecast connected to wifi, but offline. Guess what Chromecast can't do...even for local content. Yeah. It needs the internet. So...
So I bought a Microsoft Wireless Adapter for Miracast. It is not too shabby actually. Hate that it mirrors everything (prefer the "cast" then use your phone normally and even turn the screen off), but it is fast and reliable. The problem was, the GS5 wouldn't connect to it (something like "failed to connect to screen mirroring"). Tried on Lollipop and Marshmallow with the same result. I found a build.prop edit that disables HDCP. This allowed it to connect with a minor exception. Netflix would not display its video (from my research, Hulu and others might be affected too). I figured this was due to the device being rooted, so I unrooted the device and re-enabled HDCP, but left everything else the same (unlocked dev bootloader, custom recovery, near-stock rom). Failed to connect. Well crap.
I finally rolled back to completely stock 5.0 (PB1) and tried again. Everything worked (including Netflix). Side-loaded the 6.0.1 update. It still worked. I'm not sure what breaks HDCP compliance, but something in the modification process does it. The good news is that since I don't need the native hotspot or any apps other than media players, I don't need root at all. I disabled all the crapware and done!
Popped in a 128GB microSD and loaded it up. Installed the newest Kodi nightly (to get the new estouchy skin for touchscreen use) and it works amazingly. Everything was named nicely already because of Emby, so once I added the TV shows and movies to libraries, Kodi pulled in all the art and metadata automatically. The only thing I don't like so far is that Kodi won't dim/shut off the phone's display like VLC does when you are mirroring (it's not really off, it just turns black). That's not a dealbreaker though, and it might be a feature that I just haven't found yet, or can add via an add-on.
Anyhow, I have no idea if this will help anyone, but I figured if I could save someone some time and a few headaches, it would be worth a quick write-up.
Note: I do have an MHL 2.0 to HDMI adapter. Mirroring a VZW GS5 with 6.0.1 works perfectly with this setup. I wanted to find a wireless solution to avoid cable clutter and potential damage to the phone's USB port.
Hello all.
I use Nikon SnapBridge to control my Nikon DSLR.
It connects over Bluetooth from within the app.
It does not add a paired device in android itself.
The problem i have when pairing is after accepting the security keys on the Camera and the S7.
After that the name of the camera dissapears and connection fails from that point.
At first i thought it might be an issue with compatibility because its not one of the most stable apps out there.
But when trying it on my friends stock s7 it worked.
Is there any thing i can do to fix this or am i overseeing something?
mine started doing this after the nougat update, I suspect there is an issue with how nikon creates the connection in snapbridge that no longer works in nougat
yesterday I updated my Note 5 from 6.0.1 to 7.0 and can confirm that the snapbridge app is not longer connecting with the phone. after checking the pairing code on both devices the app stops with pairing failed while the cam D5600 still thinks everything is alright. hope there is an app fix soon.
greets
Timo
It does the same thing on my LG G6. The reviews for SnapBridge are dreadful. I have not been able to make it work at all with a couple of different android devices. And based on reviews online, the app is basically a failure.
Ok same here with galaxy s8. Still no solution?
Nikon snapbridge is fixed. Finally

Hey can you try doing what I did with my problem and see if it works? That is, disabling the Google App. Let me know if it did something.

Hey guys,
I know this thread was originally focusing on issues with snapbridge and Bluetooth, but I am wondering if anyone knows if Snapbridge doesn't support wifi on Android Nougat? Phone is Note 8.
I can't get my camera to connect over wifi at all. Every time I try to connect Nikon D5600 to wifi I get "this option is not available at current settings or in cameras current state." I tried updated camera to firmware 1.02 because it said it had some Android fixes but so far I still get that same error.
Thanks in advance.
I just bought a d850 and at first attempt to connect snapbridge, phone, and camera, it worked on my s7 however after 20 min it completely dropped the wifi not the Bluetooth. I pain stakenly tried to reconnect wifi but was unsuccessful. At this point it was time for an upgrade so I got the S9+ and the app did the same exact thing, no wifi, only Bluetooth. The odd thing is that it works on my Asus tablet and worked at first connection on the s7. I am left baffled and would like to enjoy full res and remote control with phone to my d850. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
I recently bought a non-branded Android M Phone with a STOCK Marshmallow. I can't find an option to cast or mirror screen to TV, although I've used my Android L5.1 to mirror the screen to my Samsung Series 5 Smart TV for a while. My questions are, do all android M phones miss the screen mirroring feature? Or just my phone's developer didn't build screen mirroring in the stock ROM? Can I somehow cast my screen to my Samsung Smart TV by another app or something?

It's not a "standard" feature for all marshmallow devices.
Try some of these apps. If your hardware doesn't support mirroring then you won't be able to do it no matter what you do.

Screen Mirroring
I did use the first app that you provided in the link. It seems to work but my TV says unable to connect. (And my phone supports Screen Mirroring too). I think it's a problem of settings. How would i configure in for connecting it to my TV?
