Rename Sabrina device to show up on play store - Google Chromecast

Is there a way to rename the dongle so that it's name shows up correctly on the play store. It just shows up as Google Chromecast.

So... what, in your opinion, would be "correct"? That's how they're branding it, so that's how it appears.

Go to the Google Playstore Webpage.. click "Settings" on the right. The devices will appear on this page.. Rename one of your devices and do a push installation of an app to this device.. now you can look where the app appears... -> Problem solved

Thanks.

It was just a demo for the Google I/O. It's not yet available (if it ever will be).

Was the new marketplace for Gingerbread as well? Because it basically uses the same tech as the "Send to phone" app

The new marketplace does not need an OS update after Froyo. Froyo already have the "send to phone" feature included. Now it's just a matter of when Google will put the new marketplace online (maybe in a few weeks as they are still testing it).

Yeah someone above just said it was for Gingerbread and not Froyo which is why i asked
Marketplace is updated in froyo.. you can do automatic updates and stuff. Slight changes here in froyo land but more significant than 2.0 -> 2.1. Its not as revolutionary as you think based on some of the stuff they were giving as sneak peaks for gingerbread. Still.. i can get flash beta on my phone and have it set to auto update. still messing with it all now.
Edit: I could be wrong on the send to phone thing.. my understanding was ginger bread. My bad if i gave out wrong info.
Send to phone is part of Froyo, its a developer API so until some devs implement it it won't work
Found it: http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seems it aint been released in UK as I get this message 'The requested item is not available in your location'
Just downloaded it, awesome app. HQ playback on 3G.
I was able to find it via the device market place. Just go to Apps and do a search for YouTube and you would find it in the list.
But I am not sure about the app's search functionality. I have tried searching for a video in native WP7 YouTube app, which gave me a bunch of results, but the same search did not come up with any results on the HTC YouTube one.

Try going into settings and change to show all, default is set to show only todays newests uploaded videos
Really really like the app, way better than the other youtube app.
It is kind of slow/laggy though but overall it is a great app, needs the ability to sign in with account.

[Q] Can't find "about" in settings

I am sure I am missing the obvious. Came from a Samsung phone. I'm trying to find the location of "Settings>about" to see my software version. I touch the little wheel "settings". But from there there is no "about" to touch.
TIA
The very last option at the bottom??
That's where I thought it would be... It's not there I simply cannot find the "about" in settings.

YouTube with no background play

Stock YouTube app is updated and does not work with background play. The option doesn't show in settings either. Has anyone had this problem and does anyone know a fix? Very frustrating.

Same problem, but i found a workaround
choose a video and press play
when the video is playing, quickly double tap the powerbutton (so the display will be turned off and directly turned on and you'll be on the lockscreen, but the video keeps playing in the background nice for hearing music
@tdoughone In order to use background play you need to have a YouTube Music Key Subscription. If you have that already it should work fine for you but I suspect that is your issue.
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6060868?hl=en
i have a google play music subscription, which includes the youtube music key, and background playing works as it should.
Sorry, I have the play music subscription and it works for me. My friend has the phone with no play nusic subscription and he is the one with the problem. We figured that was the problem but asked in here just to be sure. Thanks for all of the help. It should just be available to everyone lol

OMG finally i found a thread with my issue lol I have been searching on my phone with no luck...it wasn't until I tried searching on my computer and filtered the results to "this week" did i find this thread....anywaaaaay lol I have the same issue, incredibly frustrating. I pay for Google Music All Access (which of course comes with Music Key as you said) and yet I don't have "background/offline" functionality anymore either.
I do not have the Nexus 6. I have the Galaxy S6. But I don't really see how that is relevant. I just wanted to mention just in case

My buddy with N6 claiming he has YouTube background playback (no actual settings in app) without any Music Key or any other Google services. He always thought its N6 feature because his N7 doesn't have it. He is on ATT.

cracked apk w/ Android Auto update

hello
i already enabled unknown sources with developer options
need help pls
I don’t know what your ‘cracked’ apk is supposed to do, if AA is not available in your region, you can download the app from Apkmirror or one of the other sites.

I've loaded AA again, I can use all the apps. Loading Spotify gave a 'no internet' error. I disabled 'add wireless projections to settings' in developer options and now it works.
Other thought is you could clear AA cache & data and set it up again.
