[Q] Screen Mirroring

Does this only work to view files from phone on tv thru all share or can we actually mirror the phone on tv?

Works for both.

How? I have a Samsung smart TV and it will show for all cast but does not allow screen mirroring.
Sprint - Galaxy S5 - Moto X - Nexus 7 LTE

First question is does the tv do "all share cast" aka "screen mirroring".
The smart tv's only added the feature no more than 2 or 3 years ago. Post your model number and I'll check if you like.
I am assuming you have both devices on the same WiFi network.
On my tv, I just change the input to screen mirroring and it shows up the phone's list in the screen mirroring setting list.
There may be some settings on the tv that needs to be set, but I'll have to check later.

Also remember if you guys are using the RDDT rom it will NOT work. I went to BestBuy and I had to flash stock kernel and run triangle away for it to connect to several TVs in the store. Infact I flashed my kernel right in front of a Samsung rep and downloaded triangle away and ran it. Was able to connect to any Samsung SmartTV as well as a few LG SmartTVs.

Also this was FULL screen mirroring. Meaning everything I did on my phone was displayed to an audience of BestBuy customers.

Very cool

Might keep in mind that even though Samsung states that Smart TV's manufactured in 2012 and later work with AllShare Cast screen mirroring not all the models are compatible without the additional hub. I have a Samsung UN46C6900VFXZA LED Smart TV which I believe was manufactured in 2012 and it does not have built-in compatibility with screen mirroring. I believe at that time it was only on the 7000 models and above. So I would need the extra AllShare Cast hub in order to do screen mirroring over WiFi. I chose to never purchase the hub because too many of the reviews were negative about the quality of the stream so I just use an HDMI cable.

Thank you for the info. And I was going crazy trying to activate the "Nearby Devices" with AllShare. It wouldn't turn on no matter what on my RDDT.
The Q is, is there going to be a work around on this on their next update?

The problem is the custom kernel. You would have to have a stock samsung kernel for allshare services to work period. On older devices like Note 2 and Galaxy S2 you need stock kernel plus triangle away. So it seems like a work around is not possible. But if you enjoy RDDT, just use the rom and flash a stock kernel like I did.

I'm starting to think the devs don't even care much about getting this to work with custom kernels. It has been years since allshare cast (screen mirroring) surfaced. Still, nothing. We are always forced to remain stock for these features to work. Some CM roms claim to have this feature working but I'm no witness to that.

Has anyone tried changing the dpi(without root) on the note edge?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/root-want-to-modify-dpi-t2960644
I've rooted my HTC evo, and my note and note 3. I've since switched to Verizon where I hear root is probably a Longshot. At the same time my companies new email program won't work with rooted phones, so I may not be rooting my note edge anyway. I think I'm ok with that with 1 exception, the dpi. I hate having such a huge screen taken up by just huge icons. I saw this link saying it's possible to edit dpi on the note 4 without root. Will it work on the edge?

I think camera app doesn't work properly

If you change the dpi

FM Radio on MetroPCS

Now that we can root would it be possible to enable the FM radio. T mobile is already enabled but unfortunately MetroPCS is always behind.

couple of months ago i enabled the fm radio on my s7 and my note 5...it works flawlessly im on deviant development on Facebook. i posted the how toos couple of months ago

09-27-2016 ota gps fix?

Hi guys,
Woke up this morning to a T-Mobile OTA was out of it and I pressed yes and it was about 500mb.
First thing I did was test the GPS and got a very fast and accurate lock.
I usually never get a lock and its always searching.
Can anyone confirm.
Thanks!!

no updates here .

Is there any way I can tell which update it was?
GPS seems to be running fine since I updated.

No updates here either. Wish there was though, I hate the GPS on this phone.

I'm about to update soon, no show of what it really does, it's a hefty update for sure half a gb, has to be good update, wish it were nougat though lol.

I see the update here, but I'm rooted running custom theme, etc. Can anyone who's installed the update confirm that it didn't mess with root?
EDIT: Nevermind. I am the dumb. Just read some other threads

I just got mine this morning I'll double confirm.

Mine isn't locking on my actual location but, close.
On the plus side it was super fast to get my approximate location and lock lol.

Did nothing for GPS

Hey y'all.....what should my current versions say? I just got the phone today after taking back my S6 Edge that I had gotten the other day, and unlike the S6 Edges million updates, I received none when I set this phone up. Idk how that's possible if its a new phone. In suspecting they gave me a refurbished phone.

Android Pay and XZP

Anyone get Android Pay to work on their Sony XZ Premium? Does it work well? Or are there issues? I can't seem to find any information that confirms Android Pay works well on this device.

There shouldn't be any problems with that, after all, all that Android Pay needs is a phone with NFC
My bank does not yet support Android Pay, but I was able to add HCE Mastercard to my XZ Premium and I can pay in all places that accept proximity cards (which is practically everywhere).

It is working as should on my XZP. I'm with Halifax UK.

Working good here at Singapore. So far think only that idiot at Android Authority having problem.

thanks all for the replies... I'm in the USA and will try to set it up soon and see how it goes.

Just set it up without issue. I'll test it tomorrow if I get the chance.

US version flashed with international firmware. Android pay works without issues.

I have had problems and it's been very hit and miss. Have to carry my debit card as a backup just in case

Works perfectly well on mine. I have used it for 2 weeks now (15 payments all in all). I am using a standard non-branded UK firmware

Might be the firmware... Hmmm..

What firmware is yours running? Do other NFC apps work on on your device?

Think it is.. Its the latest software but still poop.
Might attempt to de brand and see if that's makes any difference

Mine just crashes when I try and use it.
