Anyone sucessfully tether?

I have been unable to start a wireless tether. When I open barnacle the default verizon hotspot app pops up and gets in the way. Anyone else experiencing similar behavior or find a way around it?

I attempted both the stable and beta versions of wireless tether to no avail (the AP starts, but with errors).

Even with the Droid3 being 3G and the Bionic 4G??? The different radios/modems don't make a difference?

I came across that walkthrough, but didn't want to be the first to try. Thank you for taking the gamble and spreading the news (this should probably get its own post).

I followed that tutorial and when I activate Mobile Hotspot in the Mobile Hotspot app this notification pops up:
"Checking Provisioning with the Verizon Server."
then the "On Device Provisioning" screen pops up in the background, followed by a notification saying:
"Retrieving terms and conditions.
Please Wait"
finally, it throws the error
"Your order could not be processed.
If you would like to subscribe to the service, call:..."
I rooted the device using Pete's oneclick and ran his scripts in DROID_3_remove_bloat_5_6_890.zip keeping the launcher, messaging apps, DLNA, social features, motoprint, and swype. Does anyone have any insight as to why I am getting this message or what I should try to get this to work?
Edit: I should note that I am trying this on 4G. I could see how this is only possible on 3G, as the radio may use different means of authentication for 4G. If this were to be the case, there might be a second set of parameters that can be modified.

I would love to use the droid 3 wireless solution but i have got to the step of plugging the phone into the computer after having all drivers and the radiocom program installed and it the phone info does not show up
please confirm anyone who has got this to work that the phone is to be in PC Mode.
Again I have all the drivers installed have .net installed and the radiocom program and the phone usb in pc mode
I am running windows vista home 32bit machine
has anyone ran into a similar problem and corrected it that you might share
thanks

Chromecast + Gnex Hotspot or Galaxy S 4g is working [update] also with AirCast app

I've successfully set up my Chromecast with my Gnex hotspot and my Galaxy S 4G, and Netfilx and Google Play Music stream perfectly: however, Youtube and Google Play Movies and TV is tricky: it takes too long to load when it works. I got a Youtube video to work but only once. Tabcasting works but it lags. I think we need a thread that troubleshoots this type of problem, but if I'm wrong, please disregard this thread. If it's needed, please share your experiences here. The screenshots I'm attaching is my current setup (I switch my one sim card between phones): in this case, my Galaxy S 4g is the hotspot, my Gnex is MyPhone, MT6451 is my laptop #1, VPCM11AX is laptop #2, FranciscosiPhone is my iphone, and the Azurewave Tech is (I'm assuming) Chromecast.
Update: gnex as hotspot, s 4g as source with Aircast streams movies from SD card.

May I ask how you managed to get this thing to work? I've tried multiple methods for Wifi tethering using the Galaxy Nexus and all have failed. I have tried Wifi Tether 3.4 and the stock tethering option. The errors include, AP Isolation needing to be turned off, UPnp not configured, and no connection. Once I do eventually get connected, its slow and just kicks off while trying to reload. Are there any additional settings in the wifi tether app that need to be addressed? Any help would be great. Thank you.

No need for apps. I'm running cm10.2 on my gnex and 10.1 on my galaxy s 4g. Try to setup with the chromecast app but don't change the Chromecastxxxx network name. That is one problem. The next problem is "connection failed" due to password. That's fine. Double check your gnex password and try again. If you get try again just press cancel and you'll be set. It's a bit tricky but I've done it several times with both phones. If you get stuck, let me know and I'll post a video or something.
After I pressed cancel, I was set up. The first time I did it, I didn't know I was set up until I noticed the app said "Ready to Cast." Then, after resetting the Chromecast to troubleshoot some problem, I realized that changing the ChromecastXXXX name is the main problem.

I'd hide those MAC addresses if I were you. Not that we're neighbors or anything ;p
Yeah I use my One's hotspot to connect the two as well. Funny my LTE is faster than my router.

Yeah, runs fine. Though, naturally my battery drains quickly.

I've tried this method and it doesn't work for me. Left the chromecast's ID as default, was able to get it to connect, but the Chromecast itself is never recognized by any device. I can refresh or toggle wifi and eventually it will show up as an option in Google Music/Youtube, but then trying to connect to it produces an error message.
I have tried using a Galaxy Note on T-Mobile run tethering and surprise surprise, it works, but because they don't have unlimited data like I do on Verizon, it's not an option at all. Seems like it might be an issue specific to the GNex.

On the gnex, try going to settings-wifi-advanced-wifiFrequencyBand: 2.4 GHz only

So with this method you used your galaxy s as the hotspot and the gnex to setup the chromecast correct? I don't have a second phone to do that, have you gotten this to work by using the windows chromecast setup app? I can't connect...with or without a password on my hotspot and using 2.4ghz only.
Please explain how you set this up step by step

Currently, I'm using the gnex as a hotspot. I originally used chrome on Ubuntu to set up. Actually, any setup will work. I switched to see what works best and I think the gnex hotspot is more stable. You will, however, need a 2nd phone or computer to setup. Sometimes setup gets a bit tricky and says setup failed but that may not be correct, as I showed in the screenshots.

Thanks, I'll try this out when I get home and see how it fairs.

I tried the 2.4Ghz setting and the Chromecast app doesn't recognize the Chromecast at all. Even though it's set up and connected to the network, the app will detect it as needing to be setup, even though Chromecast displays "Ready to Cast." I really think it has to be related to some Verizon LTE thing because I don't really know why it would instantly work on a T-Mobile Galaxy Note but not for a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Doesn't really make any sense. I don't think using CM10.1 has anything to do with it either. I also tried CM10.2 with the same results.

OK. If you are "Ready To Cast" and you can't, this is what I found: YouTube, Google movies, and music are "blocked" if you don't have a paid hotspot plan, but Netflix and casting from your computer should work. On my sim, I had about 99gb of data and Google doesn't cast but Netflix and tab casting works. On my wife's sim, the hotspot on her plan is still less than 500mb so I can stream. This is on T-Mobile.

I'm convinced this will never work with my gnex as a hotspot, its just teasing me. It worked great with my girlfriends Rezound as a hotspot, but thats gone from a mugging in Colombia last week, and now she is getting a gnex

Thanks for the help. That reasoning probably makes sense. It's fine because in a few months I'll have a dedicated wifi connection and won't have to resort to my phone, so I'll just have to wait it out. Thanks for all your help!

New Chromecast build 16041

My Chromecast just updated to build 16041. Anyone know what's new?
Looks like some people started getting this build a few days ago, but nobody has noticed anything significant: http://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/1zswmd/chromecast_updated_to_build_16041/

No idea.
Here's a link for a Google forum beginning on March 4th where they're asking questions at the end as if new problems deserve entry level debugging questions. (What router do you have?)
https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/chromecast/xXyNrzm-e8g/discussion
A posts saying a change log would be linked when available - but nothing there.
They used to put it here - http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2013/12/chromecast-update.html
Then somewhere else for 15250, I can't search from the XDA app.
I got it tonight. Had to force quit Netflix at first, then had no problems after that.
No idea if anything else is working or broken for me yet.
Lots of complaints out there though.

I think that with the release of GoogleCast Beta, which coincided with the 150XX Update that perhaps Google is in play mode with the device and OS and don't want to admit they may have screwed a few pooches!
I have seen the Googlecast crash behavior both with the Beta and Original and the Beta would not even work with Plexweb so I Uninstalled it.
I canceled Netflix so I can't test if that is truly broken.

I gave the new build a quick test with Netflix and Plex. Everything seems fine, no crashes.
I sometimes get the Chromecast failing to connect to Netflix successfully the first time it tries, but it always works the 2nd time, so I haven't bothered worrying about it.

I also expect to see things break for the first few days while an update rolls out.
Everything is so damn interconnected between multiple parties such as Google making a change, The App dev (Netflix, Plex Etc) having to support the changes to work with the new update and finally the user updating the apps to get the changes made.
It's like a really bad Square Dance! LOL

Yep.
14651 really broke it for me and hosed Netflix and YouTube. And I told them so in a bug report - everything working until that update with no app changes and after app changes.
Two weeks after 15250 came out, that fixed my personal issues with both apps, without me updating either app, Google emailed me to tell me that my defect report was being rejected because clearly, I had a Netflix issue and ought to take it up with them.
The beginning of my defect report said: "Do not look at this as a Netflix issue, it's happening with YouTube too and just started with 14651."
I still love my Chromecast, I still think it's great and I still think Google is pretty Mickey Mouse when it comes to being forthcoming and working with people.

The fact they are averaging an update every week or two just underscores the fact they keep messing with the works and when you fix what isn't broke you tend to break it.

The Windows Chromecast app does not load for me anymore after this update. In the task manager I can see it open then it shuts right down.

After this update my chromecast doesnt boot Only Google Logo then black screen on my TV Samsung... Thx Google...
I tried to disconnect USB and plug in it to POWER adapter - it doesnt help me, then I tried to hard reset from physical button on Chromecast - it doestnt helps to me too! Any ideas? After HR chromecast now displays on my TV like "Player". Chromecast app cant connect to Chromecast...

Sounds like maybe you had it plugged into USB power and it may have lost power during the update process?
Did it boot successfully to the wallpaper after it applied the update?

Great! This, along with the ability to turn on the TV, is why I highly recommend using wall/utility power rather than a TV USB port which often loses power when the TV is turned off.

Even mine got updated to this version. I feel this update is crappy, getting disconnected even for YouTube casting every 5 mins.. It used to work flawless until now. But then ... Waiting patiently for a fix

It may actually be something which is Lot Number (Device Version) specific.
It seems to be affecting a lot of folks so I expect it will be handled in the next release provided they can even figure out what is causing it by the time that release is available.

[Q] Screen Mirroring

Has anyone been able to screen mirror to their SmartTV / Bluray using their Note 4. I have been trying to mirror to my Sony device yet all I get is an error message that the connection failed. Screen mirroring works perfectly with my Galaxy S4. I was hoping to continue mirroring directly without having to buy a Chromecast or Roku. I contacted Samsung support and as always they were worthless. Thanks in advance.

I mirror without issues to my Samsung Tv. Are you rooted or any mods installed?

The Galaxy Note 4 is not rooted and running stock ROM. The Galaxy S4 is rooted. Both are running 4.4.4.

I mirror all the time to my Smart TV no issues

I don't have any issues. Maybe try Odin th ed stock firmware. Worth a shot.

If your connected to WiFi network try disconnecting from it. Also make sure you forget the network settings as well. Do not want to reconnect to WiFi while attempting to screen mirror. See if screen mirroring works that way?
I had an issue before on my mirracast device before on an older firmware. Where it had connection issues when I was connected to a WiFi network.

I connect my note 4 to my samsung tv pretty easily, but they are both samsung so that might make a difference. However when I connect my phone to my WD live box, I fequently get the same thing you do. If I reset the box I can get it to work for awhile but then the errors cone back. It seems like it should work easily. I'm still working out the bugs but will report back if I fix it. For future reference, if you root your note, it seems that the stock kerenel is best for mirroring. Custom kernels may need some items added to the build. Prop to get it to work properly.
Edit: you motivated to find a solution! For my device, and I havent tested yet, but a suggestion was made that both devices be on wifi. My WD is hard wired. Is your sony? That could make a difference.

Thanks for the suggestions but so far nothing works. The Note 4 attempts to connect but always fails. It's surprising how easily the S4 connects yet the Note 4 can't. I wonder what Samsung did in the newer version that would cause the error.

AT&T U-Verse App Asking for Root

So I was bored in my Water Resources Engineering class and decided to watch some tv through my U-Verse ask and when I clicked on a channel to watch, it asked me for root. Instinctively I hit no considering I'd never had that prompt on my GS3, but now I can't watch anything through the app.
Has anyone else had an issue with this app like this?

It's a trap!!!
But seriously, to be safe and save your chance at a Warrenty exchange never allow manufacturer or provider apps root access

I came here with the exact same issue and the exact same app on my Moto X Pure Edition. I was hoping to find a solution but it appears there are none here. It does not matter if you give root permission or not, the app no longer plays any video, you get an error. I just checked it again and now video is playing. Strange. I wanted to report the error code given when a live TV broadcast fails. I gave root, no difference, I revoked root, no difference, and now my AT&T app root is set for "Prompt" but I was not prompted. Law & Order SVU is just playing fine. Did not do this last night while trying it with Forensic Files. Strange. No answer here but maybe details like this will help. Good luck fellows.
EDIT: I just tried the same show as last night, Forensic Files because maybe it is the show and channel that has issues. USA network for Law & Order SVU plays w/out root prompt. Forensic Files on HLN Network does request root and does give the error, regardless of root or not. "Video could not be played at this time. Please try again later. QP1507". I denied root for this. Let me try SVU again on USA Network again. Yes, it is playing just fine after denying root to HLN. USA network does not ask for root and plays fine. There is more than likely some sort of DMCA protection attached to certain channels and not for others. USA is a standard cable or AT&T channel, not a premium channel. Headline News is pretty much the same, but does seem to have restrictions.
NOTE: I do have Law & Order SVU set as a favorite but I doubt this makes any difference. Forensic Files is not a favorite. Okay I made Forensic Files a favorite. Does it make any difference? No it does not. I think HLN is just a blocked channel, digital rights, license, and money all play a big part in what you can watch on what, and where.
The root request is still a bit of a mystery. Perhaps when the app slams up against copyright protection, it digs deeper for root rights to overcome the block but fails anyway since it seems that the app is not blocking the video stream but the provider is. This is the best speculation I can do. Root is not required for this app to run nor does it help in any way to grant it. I will just deny root for this app period and watch what I can, when I can.
