Chromecast connected to network but could not access the internet fix topic

This is a general fix for the common problem of Chromecast connecting to your wifi but not accessing the internet. On my connection the Chromecast would work sporadically and then drop. I have two Buffalo routers with one as a wireless bridge and both running DD-WRT. All I had to do was set the DNS to Google's servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

[Q] How to access to a damaged device topic

A month ago my devices got violently hitten agains the floor by my ex-wife :cowboy:

I have REALLY REALLY important information there, so i wanted to acess data or turn it on using an external screen.

After that i remember the screen was turned of but when i unlock the device it makes a sound, and i felt the vibrations of the unlock pattern, so i Thought screen was broken but devices was working fine.

I bought a nexus 4 hdmi cable yesterday, and plug in to the tv, first i test with my nexus 5 and it works fine.

I plug the nexus 4 (which should be without battery because was unplugged for a month) and the led start to blink red. As when is charging with low battery. After a couple of minutes it stop blinking and I tried to turn it on pressing the power button while connected to the TV. Nothing happend,

I left it charge a little bit more, after a couple hours I tried again, nothing happen. Device is like dead.

I pluged in to my computer. nothing happend, try with fastbook devices and adb list, nothing appear.

I really need to access my devices I dont care if is using a TV.

What ideas you can provide to me? is a good idae to disable the device and completely unplug the screen? is there any way to access data without turning on the device? any other option?

My device was rooted. Screen doesnt shows anything.

[Q] Cracked Nexus 4 Screen with pattern lock, unable to access contents... topic

I cracked my Nexus 4 screen and because of the pattern lock, I cannot unlock the phone to access the contents via usb/pc.

Is there any possible way to access the data on the phone from my computer in this scenerio? I read a few thread and didn't see any solutions.


Also, what are your thoughts on the ebay screen/digitizer replacements from china for around ? Seems like a much better deal than having someone install it for 0.

[Q] device bricked with no access to recovery topic

Hey all.

So my friend cried to me as I am the "expert" guy in my friends circle about his phone not functioning. I've tried to search about it, of course, but I am a total noob at phones that aren't Nexus :p so I'm sorry if I make stupid mistakes.

He told me he was trying to move from Stock to CM11 and that caused to device not booting up (shows a picture of a dead android) and recovery not accessible (says something like "this mode is for data backup.."). He claims he had Root and custom recovery but I'm not sure about his BL status..

When trying to hard reset, it shows a "thinking android" but quickly after it tries to boot and gets to the dead android again. I also tried to connect it to the PC with an LG software but it doesn't recognize it..

I'm pretty much out of ideas and the fact that this phone is not familiar to me doesn't help at all.

Thanks very much in advance, any help will be great.

Remote Access To Android Desktop From Windows? topic

I'm using TeamViewer QuickSupport on my two Samsung devices, but it seems to need a device-specific add-in to work on other devices.

The device in question is a CubieTruck as in http://tinyurl.com/mjzejs4.

Actually the TeamViewer product almost works. Connects to the device, gives stats about the device, allows file transfers... but when it comes time to connect to the desktop it mis-interprets the device's "OK" to "Refused".

Does anybody know of another product that allows a Windows session to connect to an Android desktop?

Seems like there are plenty of products that go the other way... but Windows ==> Android?

s3 stuck on splash screen and can't access recovery topic

Hello guys, I have an International S3.

I tried flashing CyanogenMod (it was rooted) through the steps provided on other threads. When I tried to flash it through CWM, I recieved an error, status 7.

I read I had to flash Philz recovery through Odin and flash the .zip file through there and now I can't access recovery through the three-button combo or access the phone, as it is stuck in the splash screen. I dont know what to do.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. I can acess Download Mode. Using the three-button press for Recovery Mode just vibrates and is stuck in a black screen.

Need to access web cache on stock HTC One topic

Hello, I want to access the web cache of the default web browser to access a particular html file that has some information I need. I did some digging around and it seems the cache is not accessible through file explorer apps unless the device is rooted.

Is there any way I can either pull the cached files over ADB (without root) or root the device (even temporarily) without wiping the device. I'm running stock everything with the latest OTA updates.

Root Access Apps topic

We all know that if you root your device and flash a ROM, you get a couple of root access apps thrown in for "good measure".......
But which root access apps do you install post flash that aren't strictly speaking necessary, but which you find useful?.....
For me, it's......

Goo Manager.....gotta keep that phone up to date....

HC-kTool.......EFS needs to be backed up....

MD5 Checker...... Gotta make sure that ROM you're about to flash is OK....

Power Menu app.....gets you to recovery or download mode without mashing buttons......

Root Explorer.....prefer it to CM's file manager......

SD Maid.....getting rid of the junk...

SMS Backup and Restore.....need to stop the wife becoming suspicious when all my text messages disappear..... lol....

Terminal Emulator....who needs ADB or a PC lol....

Titanium Backup......the single most useful app to have on a rooted phone.....

ViPER4Android......the best sound enhancement app.....period....

Wakelock Detector.....see what nasties are stopping my phone from deep sleeping......

XDA App......OBVIOUSLY....lol

So what about you guys?......

[Q] No access to Internal SDCard topic

Hello, I have downloaded and installed the latest Cm11 and for some reason I am not longer able to use my internal sdcard. I can see and use the external sd but not the internal one. I just have the phone with 2Gb for apps and nothing else, unless I put the external sd.
I saw the partition on via parted is a fat32, but can mount nor format it on CWM recovery nor on my PC. At the end of the day I lost 12Gb of memory on my phone. Is there any way to remove and reformat the UMS partition (12Gb) with parted or any other application without having to put the stock ROM back? I also try Aparted application but is not able to see the partition at all.
BTW I would like to have 8Gb for apps and 8 Gb on my internal sd card, but I really do not know how to do it with Odin without bricking my phone. Any guidance on this? I want to keep using CM11 of course but could not find the md5 files to be used with Odin for CM11.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Question - get FULL ADB Root access, how to? topic

Hi all.
Tab 3 8 T311.
I need to get adb root to use such firmware like QtADB or Android Commander and others.

And I want to keep stock kernel in my device (do not want to flash other customized boots).

So I`ve flashed TWRP, got system root with SuperSu, installed BusyBox.
In my stock boot.img I`ve edit default.prop to set:
ro.secure=0
ro.adb.secure=0
ro.debuggable=1
replaced adbd to (a few different, one - from ADBInsecure.apk) patched (one of them works fine on my other phone)

and still have no success...
I`ve system root and can use such programs like RootExplorer and so on... when I type in cmd line "adb root" - it tells me - already run as root
but when I type "adb shell" I get $ instead of #.
if I type "su" after $ - I got #

- it means - there`s no adb root. and my QtADB CWM edition - can`t work properly - it has no acces to system or data folders.

so I need some push to right way :) - because it`s so lazzy to clean system folder from garbage with rootexplorer... you understand me...
