Anyone got the new update yet (13300)? - Google Chromecast

Just wondered if anyone had the new update yet, and if there were any user facing changes / improvements that we could see?

I got it on one of my chromecast.

I've just checked and have it here in the UK but haven't noticed any changes while using it

I've just actually got it too, the only thing I have noticed is that there is nothing under "Locale" in the app anymore?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

I'm noticing the 'home' screen has faster changing backgrounds and more regular moving of on screen elements to prevent screen burn, which I like as am using on a plasma tv. Background changes every ~13 secs and the chromecast name 'section' moves a bit every 4 seconds. More than before. Now back to rewatching 24 season 1...

Just rented movie played fine on 13300. Thought I read somewhere chromecast did 5.1 is this only on Netflix. All I could get was stereo on the movie I rented from Google play. It was HD movie. Picture was good though.

Got the update too but I don't see any real noticeable changes but I do feel like the streaming of YouTube videos from my n4 have gotten way better.

I got it. Now newly updated with brand new uselessness.

Got the feeling casting from chrome has been improved.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah it much smoother and audio quality is much better. But still same limitations :banghead:
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Ever since the update, I've lost the ability to cast from my phone and do anything else. When I go back to Netflix to control what's already being casted, it says it can't cast to the device.
After trying everything, I've found that power cycling the Chromecast is the reliable fix.
Maybe the next update will be better for me.

My wife placed here phone in the toilet so we looked at the note 2. She didn't like the screen either. She passed on the n4 because of the back glass. Would have broken it, guaranteed.

I'm gonna take a guess she's using a Nexus 4 and called it a Galaxy. Because the general public thinks Android = Galaxy

You're aware that most people don't know how to use their phones right? An article that I recently read is a great example:
HTC researched user behavior to learn what it could benefit by changing. It learned that while lots of users have weather, music, or clock widgets configured to run on their phones, fewer than than 10% of other HTC users had anything else.
It also found that we’re just not very aware of widgets in the first place, with many users not thinking of them as any different from full-fledged apps, and we get awfully set in our ways – after the first month with a new phone, only 20% of users ever go back and really change-up their home screens.

I may not use everything my phone can do but I at least know that it's always there for me, most people still don't know that. For example, I was taking a panorama on my phone yesterday and my friend with an iPhone 5 claimed that it was a blatant copy from iOS. I find that people tend not to know features of their smartphones until Apple advertises them and they realist that their phones can do that too.
This has nothing to do with the Nexus 4/XDA.

New Play Store looks good.

I posted this in the Nexus 10 section also. The new Play Store looks pretty nice on the Nexus 10, Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus (I'm on Verizon.... The reason for the Galaxy Nexus and not a Nexus 4 )

Agreed! Just installed and I really like the softer colors.
Thanks for the find and post! Like the new layout
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
It's kinda nice, but it's awful at the same time too. The green color reminds me of Google Market from android 2.x era.
I do like the first page of each category better then before, where there were just banners and no text so you had to guess what it was.
Maybe it's preparing for KLP look? Are we getting back the Green? (nooooo, i like blue!)
Anyhow, thanks for sharing!
I installed think on my skyrocket this morning and was gonna wait for Google. But what the hell why not

Yeah, I got one: You're in the same boat as everyone outside of the continental United States, the new Play Store is currently only rolling out there.
So, until they roll it out worldwide, countries like Australia or the whole of Europe will just have the categories on the main screen.
Apart from that small "flaw" though it works perfectly, just bought an icon pack a few hours back on my phone, went without a hitch.

Agreed 5.1 inch screen while keeping it the same size of the nexus 5 would of been good enough,.
would be perfect especially with small to no bezel
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thats wayyyy to big....Like @kornklown69 sayd, maybe small bezel.
5.5 sucks. 6 is about right
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
5,5" are too much... I tried a G3 a month ago and also if the bezel are so small (i think G2's one are smaller) it's really too big...

Well, for one-handed use, it would be completly useless to me.
I already struggle with the nexus 5, as my hands are not that big.
Had the Gnex for the last two years which was just on the border of being to big, for one-handed use.
But I actually wouldn't mind a 5.5" screen as I use the phone, most of the time, with two hands anyway.
Was thinking about buying the OnePlus One, before I bought the nexus 5 a week ago, which is a 5.5 aswell.
Thought lg said that they haven't been asked to do a new nexus

5.5 is the future..even iphones are coming with a 5.5
My next phone will have a larger screen. I hope it's a nexus 6.
There probably won't even be a Nexus 6...
