Nice, I missed the update!
I have the Official London 2012 Results App... but it crashes every time it opens.
Yahoo! Sportacualr has a new update out with Olympic coverage too.

Good call, haha

What stand?

Also wondering, looks clean.

It's a smart phone stand I picked up a while ago that works great with the Nexus 7 in landscape, it can't support it in portrait. Simple and effective.

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like this stand:

Which is not bad for $8.

Here's the one I got, they have other stuff too.

Do you need to download both the NBC olympics app and the live app or just the live app?

Does amazon instant videos work with root.

Well can you still watch instant videos with the new root method?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Really? Has no one testes this out yet?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

i'd really like to know the answer to this before I go out and pick one up. Thanks for your help.

Just launched a movie from my Amazon library and works fine. Also tested a few trailors, and they work fine also. I have done:
1) Rooted
2) Installed Google Play
3) Removed my ads (unofficially)

Good to know. I don't have prime so I couldn't test out the "free" videos. I was waiting for my mini hdmi cable to arrive before I tested the premium videos with my $5 credit.

Cool thanks

I feel like having an unrooted cc leaves you Sol in here

I'm angry I did t keep root granted. But it feels like I'm just out of luck now...
Is there no hope for a 1330 root
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

I feel your pain.

To be honest, I think the folks in other countries are in a slightly worse boat. At least US users of non-rooted Chromecasts still have all the stock apps including HBO Go and Pandora. Seems like the folks in Canada are having trouble even with those.
If we're lucky there will be a nice Christmas (or pre-Christmas) present from Google...

I'd say that's definitely gonna be the case, especially since Google is conducting their Google Cast SDK "Hackathon" on Dec. 7-8th. I'd say the SDK will be released either at that time or less than a week after. My bet is that it will be officially released immediately following that event though.

Just bought one today and was really disappointed to find out it's not rootable because it's the new firmware. Hoping there's a fix soon..

Yeah. I got one today. Tried to root. No dice. Gave up and just plugged it in the TV. And then the update came. Oh well. Maybe someday.

It was a 3A number. I know what the other post said about those, but I'm stubborn ( lol ) and tried it anyway.

Yeah since I'm outside the US and have an unrootable Chromecast I had to buy a new wireless router just so I could use DD-WRT to get around the Chromecast's built-in Google DNS and access the US Netflix library. But on the bright side it's a damn good router even without the Chromecast :laugh:

Same prob here, I was in a rush to try it out, I forgot to check xda first. The device is currently just lying in the drawer as I hardly use it since I live in Singapore so I got no netflix, just YT lol

Is it possible to play videos on websites based on flash in cc? Or is it possible with root? What i really want to know is do flash videos play? Thanks a bunch.

Yes, if done via the Cast extension for Chrome, but this does on-the-fly transcoding (decode/re-encode) on your computer so it needs some CPU horsepower.
Chromecast cannot natively play Flash, rooted or not.

Yeah mine was a 3a as well, I didn't even try to root it after reading this. Plus my otg is unpowered. Figured I can look for a older one and just buy another since they are cheap and try again or just hope with the release of sdk....

Its not on the play store and a link is not allowed. This thread will be closed as soon as a moderator comes across it. Every thread about showbox gets closed because it supports bootlegged material. Just Google it.

Thank you!! Totally works and is just plain awesome .

What kind of quality are you guys getting with Chromecast? I was considering buying one so that I don't need to keep taking videos from my phone to my laptop to play on the TV, but I'm a little hesitant with devices like this because of a very, very bad experience with Apple TV.

I've been using AllCast with my Roku3 and it's awesome. I'm assuming it is the same concept. I'll have to check out Avia.
This is basically the whole reason I bought a Chromecast was for when I travel, I can just plug in the Chromecast and send movies to the in-room TV along with Netflix and such. I'm tired of watching movies and shows that I pay for on a 7" screen when there is a 42" TV just 10' away. Glad that I can finally start using it now that development is picking up.
All I need is:
Netflix
Hulu
Play videos off my mobile

As long as you stay within the Chromecast's limits and your network's limits, looks good. My TV says Chromecast is feeding it 1080p.
Played Taken 2 via HBO GO and it looked great.

Well, then, if it plays HBO Go that well, I wouldn't imagine it'll have any issues with Netflix or a video on the device itself.

On-device is subject to Chromecast's format restrictions.
Remember that HBO GO, YouTube, Netflix, etc already have and serve their content in Chromecast-compatible format.

Well it may not be quite as easy as all that depending on the Hotel and how they have their network AUTH set up.
Many set up AP Isolation so two devices on the network can't talk to each other....
In some cases it will require Certificate Auth (such as going to a web browser first) which is not going to be very conducive to connecting the Chromecast.
Miracast makes a direct connection but that might preclude you from connecting to the Hotel AP for content on the Web...
Just a forewarning...

Chromecast restarting

I'm watching a media file on my Nexus 7 (Cyanogenmod) using LocalCast or a similiar app (doesn't matter which one) and after a random time period, Chomecast just restarts (?). At least it shows the spinning Chrome-icon and afterwards the default standby-wallpapers.
My router and wi-fi are fine, my tablet is fine.
Maybe it's the fault of my ROM, who knows. I just want to ask people how they fixed it if they had the same problem.

Does it happen for all videos, or only certain ones?
Also, is your Chromecast in an enclosed area or near a heat source (yes, the TV counts)?

It happened to mine too once in last week. I am using tablet z stock. And I was watching YouTube only. And for few days the YouTube app in chrome cast crashing random while watching.

If you aren't using wall power, highly recommend switching to it, at least to reduce variables. Also try factory reset in case some internal settings have become corrupt.
Wish there was a way to force re-update of firmware for stock but I don't know of any.

And if you start the casting from a PC or Laptop and use your phone/tablet to continue casting everything works fine until you switch off and on the Chromecast.

Mine started doing this a few days ago also. Watching a Youtube clip about halfway through it just cuts off. If I have a few in a playlist, it works fine after the first video crash.

Try from PC/Laptop. Works all the time.

It shouldn't matter where the cast request comes from, but hey I've seen some strange things in my day so anything is possible.

Since I do not live in the US, I can't even use the warranty. I already have a plan how to swap out my Chromecast, but first it has to be released in my country, why should happing within the next two weeks. Apart from that I didn't have any luck getting the Chromecast to work as it should.
