What exactly is Chromecast and what can it do? - Google Chromecast

Thinking about getting it since it's only $35 and I have a 32" Samsung HD TV that I'd connect it to. So can I connect it and bascially view any anything from my phone (US Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4) to my TV. Say I wanna play a YouTube video on my phone, it will show on my TV with Chromecast? Or view my browser on my TV screen? Thanks to all that can help!

Actually, XDA has rules against creating threads before searching. That includes Google. Last time I check XDA isn't the place for incredible easy to search for questions. Congrats on congesting the forums and wasting XDA resources. Especially since the chromecast section doesn't have specific sub forums.

Leaked Netflix android app

Just found this. Supposedly taken from LG prototype revolution. Wasn't able to stream content on my fascinate, I'm hoping maybe someone could find a way. Here's the apk download URL. http://lts.cr/TY5

Thanks for letting us know by posting in the wrong section. To bad there wasn't a post in Themes and Apps about this, oh wait...
Oh jeeze my bad. I actually meant to post in themes and apps. Hence the fact I didn't see the original Netflix post.

According to Netflix it requires hardware DRM.

As mentioned above. Streaming will not work on any current-gen phone (might on the Atrix, due to its updated hardware).
Netflix is "concerned about piracy" (LOLrite?), and will only allow streaming on phones equipped with the newer-generation ARM processors that have hardware DRM implemented. The current hummingbird and snapdragon processors do not.
That sucks. Looking forward to the official release either way.
Damn. I was really hoping to be able to use my phone to pirate netflix content.

How hard would it be to emulate a hardware DRM?
or bypass it?
No matter how hard it is I think it would be worth it to be able to rip sd 4" content, yah baby!
Forget ripping, I wouldn't mind getting full use of my paid netflix subscription. Had to buy a wifi blueray player cause Sony is a bunch of douches and got tired of constantly hacking just to keep that app working (the only thing I don't pirate is games lol, but I wanted my homebrew). Maybe one day, on this or another phone....

Probably not, unless you could setup some sort of video steaming between the two, maybe you can start searching for that information, see if you can find an app that allows you to stream videos from your device, and a app that would let you pick up that stream on the tab.

What are people selling their 7" tabs for these days

I'm looking to sell mine and downgrade to a nook touch because I broke my kindle and find that I don't really use the tab much.
So, what is the going rate for a sprint galaxy tab?
Also there isn't a FS section on here?
Fifty bucks. Wanna sell yours to me?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
And before the flame brigade arrives, yes i was joking.
Seriously now, you'd probably get a better idea about prices for 2nd hand tabs from popular online auction sites. It all depends on model, specs and condition.

I recently bought GT-P1000 16GB for 10,000 Thai baht which was about $300 Australian at the time. Seems to be the going rate.

Why don't you install the Nook android app on your Tab? I did and it works quite well!
Later.......
Btw, it's a free app....lol
The e-ink mainly. For reading it is easier on the eyes.
I had a kindle but my wife broke hers so I gave her mine.

Personally Aldiko is the way to go for ebooks. I use it more than most any other app on my Tab. And even then, you'd be better off with a nook color and cm7 than the nook touch...

Sharing a direct screen recording option for nexus 7

So i found a way to record the screen without pointing a camera at it if you are interested in that. I made a video on youtube. I think my title sucks or no one on youtube cares but here's the video. Because I can't post links yet i have to give you a title to my video to search for.
Record your nexus 7 display(No camera)
For some reason it's important to me for others to know this. I guess that's why i made a tutorial. Lol.
Thanks. I hope this helps. =)
Edit: I just remembered it's the new year. I'm probably the only loser sitting home playing with tablets. Lol. =)
Nope I'm at home playing with mine lol drunk tho lol

Yep. When I first saw this thread I thought it referred to getting a screen capture or screen shot. What you are actually referring to is completely different from that.

I've had my n7 about 5 days and the other night I was very very drunk, flashed smoothrom, too drunk to remember to clear cache and dalvik, got a boot animation freeze, went back, remembered to clear caches, and got it all working. That was after drinking a whole bottle of vodka myself. Bad idea doing things like that at times like that

Lmao. Yeah I was thinking they were gonna think I was referring to pointing a camera at the screen for some odd reason but sometimes I think too hard. Not sure why. I think I was also trying to keep the title short.
So while the mirroring potential is awesome, I have to ask, what's the advantage of this over just screen recording directly on the N7?

Are you talking about using screencast to record the Nexus 7. Because screencast doesn't work on the N7.

How to play youtube video on my ipad?

Hello every one, I have got a new ipad few days ago. Now I want to download some youtube videos to my ipad for watching, but I can not do it well. Firstly I don’t know how to download, secondly I have no idea of converting the Youtube video to ipad video supported video formats, so it is really a headache. If you are good at playing with ipad, would you like to provide me a link to operate it? Thanks.

Step 1) give your ipad to your mom or dad.
Step 2) buy a real tablet like the nexus 7

Step 3) Once you have purchased your Nexus 7 go to the Nexus 7 forum, not the HTC One.
