Hey guys, I was wondering if somebody could give me a hand.
My chromecast ( bought yesterday ) just work with youtube and with the tab cast feature from chrome. I can't get it working with anything else because the cast icon don't appear on those apps, it's like it's not discoverable at all for those apps.
I've done several resets, no luck.
Maybe if I root it? I don't know.
Thanks.

Ok what device and ROM? (I ask about the rom because of your Sinless Sig)
Sounds like something is blocking the ports used to discover the units.
Either you have some security software blocking it, some network config disabled (UPnP, Multicast) or your device (and ROM) is messing with the works.
Can you see it on other devices? How about the Googlecast ext in Chrome?

Yes, I'm using GPE rom for the M7.
I can cast tabs from chrome without a problem.
I'll try to flash another, maybe a sense rom and see if that's the problem :/

I wouldn't go chasing roms as most would not change anything about the networking in most cases...Only a ROM overly obsessed with Privacy and Security would mess with those...
It is probably a networking issue or it could be that whatever your flashing does not have the latest Google Services installed that I believe is required for proper discovery...
But I would expect that to affect YouTube as well...

What make/model is your router?
Almost sounds like AP isolation is on, was it YouTube on phone/tablet, or YouTube in Chrome that worked?
FWIW, root won't change anything, and if you've been playing with it this long it's not rootable, and probably wasn't rootable to begin with anyway.
BubbleUPnP doesn't show a cast icon, you have to select the Chromecast as a renderer under the devices tab of the app.

Well I would notify the Devs that maintain the GPE ROM and let them know that they have a problem with their Networking most notably in regards to mDNS, UPnP or Port Blocking.
Explain what happened to you and see if they can reproduce it.

Youtube (and Streaming Media) over AT&T's HSDPA Network. What am I doing Wrong???
Ok, I've had this problem with both of my phones (Wizard and Tilt) and it is driving me crazy. I can do streaming media (i.e. Youtube) while connected via WiFi or to my computer via USB. However, whenever I try to connect over the 3G at&t network, I get the Microsoft spinning color wheel for about 10 seconds then it stops and nothing launches and I get no message (i.e. connection timed out, etc.)
I have installed the "Youtube" cabs and have TCPMP installed which work fine when connected anyway other than over the HSDPA network. Am I not configuring this correctly? Is there a fix?
I've posed this question/issue in th Schaps 4.22 thread, but this seems to span beyond his ROM, so I thought I'd start a thread. Please post anything helpful you can come up with.
TIA for the support!!
have you tried to remove the hidden proxy? i hear this helps. I use xda live and have no issues with streaming on att hsdpa.
im having same problem how do you disable the proxy?

I've been using the Dutty ROMS with the preinstalled YouTube package. Def isn't working on ATT 3G
I had an issue with TCPMP but resolved it. I was getting a 'mms protocol not supported' message. I adjusted the buffer size down to 800kb and now i can stream over HSDPA with no problem.

so, it looks like it it is tied to the at&t side, and not the ROMS as I suspected.

http://home.leakdroid.com/2009/10/06/fresh-leak-moto-phone-portal-for-android-coming-w-sholestaodroid/
Pretty cool. Works with my G1 and Cyanogen 4.1.99. Try it out.
http://rapidshare.com/files/305341350/PersonalPortal.apk
Recently some of the system dumps from the upcoming Motorola Sholes/Tao/Droid hit the Developer community, and they have been trying to piece the puzzle together of what the Motorola Sholes/Tao/Droid is all about. We got our hands on a new app which looks like it will be front and center when the device finally hits the shelves, Motorola Phone Portal.
Those that remember using the Motorola Phone Tools app to hack their Motorola’s back in the day (I’m getting all “Ahmad – Back in the Day” about my v600, v810, and RAZR) will instantly recognize this little gem, but it’s been updated for Android and provides some pretty cool functionality. Basically, Motorola Phone Tools (MPP) serves as an all-in-one phone manager that allows users to easily view, edit, create, delete, and play their contacts, ringtones, photos, wallpaper, and media. The key difference now is, the app is web-based and you log into your phone from directly from your browser! No installing “modems” and drivers on your Windows machine (painful), just fire up the app and press the “Connect with Wi-Fi button. When you press the button, the app prompts you to either turn on Wi-Fi, or connect over USB. For this experiment, I chose Wi-Fi.
MPP lets you add/edit/delete/browse your contacts, photos, bookmarks, browser history, and media in an easy-to-use interface. Playing media directly from the device in the browser worked very well, and the picture viewer/slideshow feature is pretty damn cool. So with MPP you’ll be able to play/show-off your media anywhere from any browser. If Moto adds a Social/Sharing aspect to this, they will have a winner on their hands.
So there you have it kids, a little taste of what’s to come with the Sholes/Tao/Droid. The original Moto Phone Tools was a pretty handy app (when it worked), and the new MPP looks to be just as functional, if not more so. I am sure it will help a lot of users manage their contacts/media/content when it gets released, and the ability to do slideshows and play media from your device directly from your browser is pretty slick. I hope Moto adds more features and functionality to it as time goes on, but this seems like a sign of good things to come. Grab the .apk file below and play away!

Doesn't work on my hero
It asks to activate wi-fi even if it is already active. Tried to start-stop wifi before and after i opened the application. any guess?
Thank you!!
Ok, I figured how to make it working, the phone must be connected to a network to be used, but I though it creates an ad-hoc wi-fi connection to work with.
BTW great app!
This thing is great. I wonder why more people aren't interested in this....
Sounds cool, I'm going to test this out later
pretty slick...
Nice that you can mange contacts and view the contents of your sdcard etc. Similar to AFile and others but a bit more "moto". Could be neat! I imagine that the majority of users would never set up a secure login though, could be fun to sit in a crowded bar and scan for active devices running this on port 8080. Imagine the havoc that could wreak!

Cool! Thanks for the download/headsup!

What does this do exactly? I have to connect to my wifi network and make sure the computer is connected and then what?
Is there a specific process to join the phone and the comp together?
I tried using a remote desktop client but didn't figure out how to get it working, is this the same?

Sorry, wasn't sure inder which thread to post, however, does anyone know hoe to get the Netflix app? Zune software can't find it for me, marketplace does not have it either.
strange!!!!!!
because I got one from the marketplace, but its written as T-mobile netflix, so I guess it would only for t-mobile user, not sure though
i got it in marketplace also.
when you go to the market place click on apps> entertainment> free. its the second one there. i just downloaded mine on to my phone.
Is there a XAP available?
There was a .xap of Netflix I found on some other thread but I won't bother linking to it as when I had downloaded and sideloaded it before I had live activated, it wouldn't go past a Netflix splashscreen. You probably have to download legitly from marketplace cause it checks for a license :/

I installed the T-Mobile netflix app and it loads and browses my account.
However, when I try to stream anything I get:

If the problem persists, please call Netflix at 866-579-7113"
I get the same error both under wifi and data connection. I have not actived live services. Could that be the problem?

The Chromecast only allows certain devices to use it's new mirroring functions. The OPO is apparently not on that list. But, thanks to this handy app, the Chromecast will now recognize my OPO and allow for full mirroring!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
- Install the app and open it.
- Enable "Mirror Status:" and enable "QuickSettings Mirror:"
- Either open the chromecast app, and find mirroring in the left panel, or
- Pull down into your quick settings and see the icon for "cast screen"
There is a small bit of lag, which would mean some games that require split second timing would be hard to play on the big screen, but others work fine, like FIFA 14 for example. Any video site (that doesn't already support Chromecast) will work perfectly as well.
i try this but there is no audio out from my oneplus one only from youtube
Will this make my chromecast work as miracast that allow screen mirroring?

I found a little write up that makes it a lot easier and more stable. First download root explorer go to system folder then build prop. Find
ro.product.device=A0001 and change A0001 to hammerhead and save changes. Now go to settings / display and under cast screen option your chrome cast will now appear then click on it. Now once WiFi on and you pull down quick settings you will see cast option appear.

That happened to me once when I was kind of away from the TV or when I thoroughly covered back of my phone. So I assume that would be because of weak Wi-Fi Direct connection between devices. Also, I noticed increase in delays and some jitter in video. So this surely seems like connectivity issue.
May be trying without a case or with WiFi antena area open/unblocked should reflect the improvement.

I am in Sudan and I can cast from Youtube app on my HTC One M9 to my Playstation 4 Youtube app fine but when I try to cast to my Google Chromecast there is no Cast Button on the HTC Youtube app. I think it is because of "sanctions" and my country being blocked because when I share an ad-hoc network from my laptop through a VPN and connect both my HTC and Chromecast to it, it works fine. But I am baffled that my PS4 does it without VPN.
I am desperate to find a way to make my Chromecast works without VPN and I really really need your help XDA. I googled and searched on the forums for hours and I couldn't find anything that works.
same thing is happening to me. M9 and it won't recognize my chromecast. Worked yesterday
Edit: day 2. Still doesn't work. While I can't cast through the chromecast app, I can see the wallpaper and reset it.
Edit 2: still no luck after a factory reset. Not sure if I lost root because of that, but I didn't use root anyway
my chromecast also stopped working..

If you are running Eureka-ROM, go to web GUI page (enter ip address of the chromecast into browser). In the settings section you can see option to change whitelist.
