The Wolfy among us Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I bought an X1, and broke the screen playing Air Hockey, phone was in the pocket. Bloody service centers didn't get stock for more than a month. Sold it for 8k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) This is superb : http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/chromecast/ Available for order in US now for $35 https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=chromecast Anyone travelling back from US sometime soon, I foresee a group IVG order for this. I'm in. pardon the noobishness but how is it different from using NFC, or using built in streaming capabilities in newer tvs or just something like Asus O play which is like a hdd/video player when connected to the tv with hdmi. Is the usp here that it is compatible with all tvs, phones, laptops, tabs or is there anything more to it ? Also how does streaming stuff from any device to the tv works using just the built in tv capabilities and wifi (matlab no 3rd device or signal other than wifi) ? This is something i never understood properly. _ Edited July 25, 2013 by Nemo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Sony the first company to announce 4.3 roadmap, news awaited from Samsung and HTC. Xperia Z in the list. http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_announces_the_devices_that_will_get_android_43_jelly_bean-news-6458.php Though i think they should have skipped 4.3 and directly updated to 5.

piper Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 pardon the noobishness but how is it different from using NFC, or using built in streaming capabilities in newer tvs or just something like Asus O play which is like a hdd/video player when connected to the tv with hdmi.

Also how does streaming stuff from any device to the tv works using just the built in tv capabilities and wifi (matlab no 3rd device or signal other than wifi) ? This is something i never understood properly. The advantage here is that the actual device which serves as source of the content (Windows PC, Android phone, Ipad, etc.) provides for excellent access to content and media playback support. You can directly playback Youtube, do web browsing, etc. using a $35 device on ANY display that has HDMI in (imagine an HD projector as well, no more cable hassle). That is what makes this so much win. Example : You can use a wireless controller (e.g. DS3) on your android phone via bluetooth, and with Chromecast you can broadcast it on your big screen TV. At present the capabilities will be limited but since the app will be part of Android source, we can expect this to serve as a no-limits streaming device soon. As for newer "smart" TVs, they don't account for more than a small percentage of TVs in households. Which is why this will have a good market available to tap.

AngerSmash Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 well water damage will usually mean mainboard impacted, if they are replacing it with new battery and mainboard, make sure you ask them the old parts back. Also i do not see a reason to sell it and get a new one, why would you want to go through more loss. Will do that but why? :| Yeah will keep it then.They also reduced the warranty to 3 months. My brother has to go to hell for this. It happens Remebering tye time when I purchased Xperia X1 wimdows Wala @40 k And I dropped in water bucket and quickly had to sell it for 6k Very bad experience Yeah man.sh*t happens. Atleast I will be getting my phone back in working condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersim Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Chill out , its just a small update . Nothing revolutionary . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Chill out , its just a small update . Nothing revolutionary . It's not a small update by any means. The OTA file weighs in around 169 MB and there are quite a few changes under the hood. I've been running it since morning and the phone's much smoother all over. Battery life also seems to be improved. I've done over 1.5 GB data tfr over wifi, 3.5 hrs of screen time, lot of video/audio playback, emails/twitter/fb etc and still im at 49%. For those looking to update, if you are stock, then just download the ota file from here: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_mako/ebc8bad23772b5fd6e2907e48b4c74ba0ed58f21.signed-occam-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.ebc8bad2.zip If you are completely stock, or unlocked/rooted but havent made any system file changes, you can just adb sideload it. If the above fails, just flash the factory images from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images Download the image, untar it, open the flash_all.bat/sh file and remove the "-w" from the last fastboot command to avoid wiping. Then open the zip file and delete userdata.img. Put your phone in fastboot and run flash_all.bat/sh. voila!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 This chromecast is on ChomeOS or Android? I mean any brave soul out there to port it for....OUYA. Can finally make some use of 120$ junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They havent said anything about that yet. I think it could be chrome since essentially whatever they were doing was being done in chrome and the SDK/APIs also point to javascript based APIs for the receiver side apps. It should be possible to reverse engineer it to port (or at least emulate) the same on other arm devices. If you want to get some of the basic functionality right now, you can use autoremote and tasker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
