I just updated to the leak and was wondering if anyone has tried this

it would be sweet to get google now on my phone, it's kinda worthless on my tablet without a mobile network.
I've got a Tmobile Note 4 running Lollipop (updated OTA yesterday). I use a Samsung Wireless Dongle and Screen Mirroring to watch some shows. I noticed yesterday that video playback has become extremely choppy since the Lollipop update. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I double checked my network settings and everything is working smoothly. Video playback on the Note 4 itself is just fine. Just choppy on my TV screen when Screen Mirroring through the Wireless Dongle. Any ideas about how to address this would be much appreciated. I am rooted, running stock TouchWiz Lollipop ROM, if that matters.
Try without the dongle? It does work wireless if you have a smart tv
I have the dongle because I don't have a Wi-Fi Direct/Screen Mirroring capable television. I did dig around in Application Manager and found Wi-Fi Direct Share, and I've cleared the cache and data for it. I'll try it out this evening to see if that will get it working smoothly again.
Should note that on KitKat, the Dongle worked just fine. It is a Samsung brand wireless dongle.
There is no data nor cache to clear on Screen Mirroring app itself nor on the Wi-Fi Direct app. So crossing my fingers this Wi-Fi Direct Share has something to do with it.
I have the same samsung wireless dongle but since I updated to 5.0 i havent had the chance to stream, ill give input in a few when i get home. Also i had a lot of freezing while watching movies on 4.4 not sure if you ever experienced that, it was very annoying. Also I'm stock.
Still not resolved
Wireless dongle playback is still choppy as described in OP. Interested to here from others. A better description might by jerky... Audio is just fine. Might dig around in the build.prop file later. Otherwise, any feedback from others experiencing this issue or others who might have an idea for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
Try booting up in recovery and wiping cashe partition that seems to fix a lot of strange problems for me.
No such luck, mate. Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's bareable as is right now, but it does bug the **** out of me. Haha. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is experiencing this. I'm thinking of borrowing a Chromecast off someone to see if it has the same issue. I mean, the video in every app is smooth as butter on my phone screen, but the TV is jerky ever so slightly via the Samsung Dongle. I know it's not just me because my wife who typically cares less about tech noticed it.
Leave it to good ol Sammy. Sort of like that BS way they built screen mirroring to break on rooted devices using third party (read:non Samsung dongle) back on the Note 3. Anyone have an idea of something I could try to edit in the build.prop file? Any other ideas? I found an app on the Play Store that's meant to fix Screen Mirroring issues after an update, but when loaded it doesn't give me the option to run it, apparently it thinks I am already patched. Oh. And Samsung was the manufacturer of that app, go figure. So apparently this has happened in in the past?
If all else fails, I may just try a fresh install. I'm trying to wait for the latest version of TWRP because I heard some folks have had no luck flashing ROMs through TWRP after upgrading to Lollipop OTA and then rooting (which is what I did; I never rooted on KitKat because I wanted to keep my 1 yr Sammy Warranty intact, just in case). I know tripping Knox apparently doesn't affect the Tmobile insurance, but I've read varying stories on whether it affects your Sammy factory warranty.
Well. I'm off off to play some AC Unity on the PS4. I'll check back later. Happy trails
I am experiencing the same issue ever since I updated to lollipop. Video mirroring to my Samsung smart TV very choppy.
Nobody has any possible solutions for this? Please give it a shot if you have any ideas whatsoever. Now we have two confirmed reports.
Quick update. Hard reset and even unroooting the device didn't resolve the issue. Definitely something baked into to the latest TMO stock ROM
I've even had the screen freeze on the chromecast when mirroring but audio still plays
@knarfies I used to get a similar issue with Netflix but Lollipop resolved it. So can you connect with Chrome cast, but it freezes occasionally? How often is it happening? The Samsung Dongle works without freezing audio or video but is jerky enough for me and the wife to notice. Wasn't like that on KitKat.
I'm running stock and im using the samsung dongle and the video actually plays smoother on 5.0, when I was on 4.4 it use to freeze all the time I'm not sure why is not playing gird for you guys, plus whatever I was on 4.4 the video playback in general would freez during playback even when I was not screen mirring.
I am currently rooted with a custom kernel and stock ROM, but even before the mods, it was no longer working correctly. Samsung has an app on the Play Store to patch problems with Screen Mirroring after a software upgrade, but when I downloaded it, it said I was already patched. Even after a hard reset and completely non rooted stock everything it hasn't worked perfectly like it did on KitKat since Lollipop.

Thats strange because its the complete opposite for me.
Dear All,
I have been a LP 5.1.1 user since the beginning and I didn't change anything but all of a sudden I can't use Google Maps as I don't get a fix. I used GPS test and also no fix.
I had this problem before and did some fiddling and got it working again. But I forgot what I exactly did. But I don't think its a hardware failure but a software glitch.
Hopefully somebody here with same problems.

hy, try to update Google play app. or one more thing, uninstall completely Google play app, reboot the device, and install it again.
I would love to try your suggestion but could you please be more specific? Which app are you talking about the playstore app or the Google app services app? How can I Uninstall such apps on a stock lollipop 5.1.1? I have never rooted my phone or whatsoever a real strange problem that showed up out of the blue.
Did a whole f*cking reflash with stock android (wiped all the data with flashtool) 5.1.1. but it didn't resolve the problem... time for a new phone.
I think this is not software problem. It was happened when I flashed to 5.0. I think flashing from 4.** to 5.0 killed my gps. After tried all kind of solutions in sent my phone to Sony service centre. The changed my motherboard without any questions. And my warranty was extended to +2 years. I think Sony know exactly what is problem. And my opinion is that is hardware problem. I also think this problem is just with first generation of z3c. My friends bought this phone later with android 5.** don't have any problems.
So after updating to 7.0 there are a couple of things I notice, firstly Chinese stuff like numbers on the dialer, music app, video app, and so forth still persist. The remote app wasn't there after the update so I manually downloaded it, now it is not connecting to devices. Battery is sometimes good, sometimes bad but this is because factory reset didn't work properly after unlocking the bootloader and after flashing the update. So if anyone has any help, and experience let's help each other
I got official 7.0 via OTA and I am really disappointed because battery is really wasted too fast. Google launcher is not working anymore...is closed after few minutes. Bluetooth is sound very bad on my media nav in car, before had no problem. I am thinking to downgrade to 6...

I'm not sure if anyone else is running into this, but whenever my Note 3 updates to the latest (10.2.98) version of Google Play Services, it continuously gives the "Unfortunately the NFC Service has crashed" until I uninstall the latest update. I'm still able to use Google's apps by installing version 10.0.84, which I downloaded via apkmirror, but obviously this won't be a permanent solution because eventually newer app updates won't support it, nor is it ideal because my phone still updates to the newest version at least twice a day, with no way that I've found to stop it. This just started recently (about a week ago). Note that I am running AryaMod V8.3, but haven't had any issues until this week.
Is anyone else having this same problem? If so, have you found a way to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Phone Info:
AT&T Note 3 SM-N900A
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-4335446
Android version: 5.0
Baseband version: N900AUCUEOC1
i have it as well a week now .. report back if you find fix
Workaround but it works
The only workaround I have found so far is to use Titanium Backup Pro to freeze the NFC service. For now, I won't delete it just in case Play gets a fix in the future. Not sure if you can use the non-pro version of Titanium Backup, try it and see if it works. You will have to tap really fast in getting past the NFC Service stopped pop-up. I've found that if you wait a few seconds after the pop-up appears, you'll have a bit more time to tap on whatever you need. Best to use one finger on each hand.
Hope this works for you!
