I have the Sprint version of the One Max running Viper 2.0. Love the ROM because i live in an area where I do have access to Sprint's Spark service. I have installed the hotspot hack and can use 3G without any problems. Unfortunately i like to watch videos on youtube and have noticed that I can't use full 1080p being that I'm on 3G. Any help would be great.

Greetings, my home internet is a 3G wireless card from a Sprint reseller because for the time being that's the only "decent" internet I can get. While I have an excellent signal (-54 dBm) the speed is often slow as dial-up which makes watching Netflix on my desktop or PS3 next to impossible.
I can use the Netflix app on my phone and hook the phone up to my TV to watch just fine, clearly Verizon has a better network attached to the tower than Sprint. But I would rather use PdaNet to watch on my Desktop. The problem with this is that, because of the way PdaNet works the Netflix web page tells me that my "computer" is not supported.
Would anyone happen to know a work-around?

Don't use PdaNet?

Don't use pdanet, use a wireless tether method for now, search the market for barnacle widow tether, it will work fine, have been using it to watch netflix

Thanks for the replies but sadly my desktop does not have a wireless card or dongle. I was hoping to use a wired solution. Does Barnacle offer a bluetooth mode that would support Netflix?
I know it's pretty simple to stream video on the same wifi network, but I haven't found a way to do this if you are on wifi tether.
ie... I have podcasts downloaded on my phone. I want to watch them on my Prime.
There's no wifi network around.
Anyone do this?
Let me reiterate.
Native video on phone. Stream to Tablet. Easy.

I have no trouble streaming videos. It could be your carrier limitations.

Same here. Even a couple years ago- I was in Vegas for a week at Blackhat and I had my phone and an Ipad. I streamed netflix with the ipad tethered using 3g and it was fine and great quality. With 4g, nothing to it at all..
Hope your provider isn't throttling you.. net neutrality be dammed hehe.

Over Wifi tether.
For some reason, DLNA protocol doesn't see phone as server if phone is serving internet.
Actually I think I remember the tethering apps on my phones took over the wifi and if thats the case still then you cant serve dlna with a tether going. So what your seeing is right.
Hmmmm...
Well I wonder if there is a way to do this.
Consider your phone as the router (which it is, since you can get multiple internet feeds - TP/Laptop). The only way would be to have the phone as another computer on a network. I don't think you can do both at the same time. Since you got a microSD slot, what's wrong with moving the videos to the SD card?
Transferring the SD card is an option, however, I think there should be a way to do this without the hassle.
Have you tried imediashare?

That ****ing worked!
Thanks!
Yes it does work. I don't have WiFi at home but I went ahead and bought the HTC Media Link. I wanted to do a test. I turned on my WiFi Hotspot and the Media link detected my Android Ap and I am able to mirror all my recorded videos,YouTube videos and play all my games. This is awesome.

Do you pay for the sprint Wifi App?? I would like to use 3g and the hd media link and it appers that isn't possible, So I want to figure out how to make that happen.
You can now mirror your screen when using a Chromecast with the Note 3 running 4.4.2. Go into Settings >More Settings >Screen Mirroring to enable screen casting through your Chromecast. You can also cast directly from the Chromecast app if screen mirroring doesn't work.

I must be doing something wrong because I can't get it to cast...

Figured it out. Even though the app said it was updated today it was not the latest version. I side loaded the latest version and it works. It is too choppy though.

It's working fine through the Chomecast app for me. I haven't tried any games but everything else is smooth including 1080p videos that were recorded on my phone.
I can get it to mirror my screen through the Chromecast (not through settings) but I get no sound. How do I get sound.
Note: My chromecast is plugged into my Onkyo receiver, does that make a difference?

Probably so. I have screen mirroring working thru the Chromecast app as well and it does audio just fine. Might be something going on with that receiver. Can you remove it and try just a direct connect to the Chromecast on the TV? Haven't tried thru the Settings way.

Turns out that power cycling the Chromecast solved the problem. I now get sound.
Reboot of Chomecast worked for me to get sound working. Also games look great!
I see no option to Mirror in the Chromecast app. It says I have the latest version.

Be cautious with games. My phone shut down several services and a warning screen appeared stating my phone was too hot.
Does that mirroring work directly from chromecast to phone or do you still need a wifi network to connect them both to?

You still need to use Wi-Fi.
I'm on Android 4.3, Beanstown build 6, so I can't screen cast Is there an update path I can take (possibly new ROM) that will get me 4.4 and the ability to use this new feature? (I have Chromecast app ver 1.7.4)
Could people who have it working SMOOTHLY (to me not smoothly = not working) at 1080p please post the wifi setup they are using? (Router/AP model and 2.4 or 5ghz, is it in the same room, other devices connected, port forwarding or QoS or other router config, or anything else noteworthy)
I haven't touched my chromecast in 3 months because it basically didn't work for anything I wanted to do (main thing is playing photos/videos shot with camera on a bigger screen). Back then I was using a wired router and a Asus EAN66 as wifi AP (box-claim speed of 450 mbps) sitting within 10 feet of both phone and TV/Chromecast in the same room but it was horrible - I was lucky to get maybe 20 seconds of smooth video max. Then it would crash. Much faster to transfer files to computer via usb3 or sdcard then play on TV. Similar story on a Linksys E1000 but I forget which was worse.
True smooth 1080p screen mirroring... that would be nice. Truly something that would wow people. I now have Netgear R7000 (model name "Overkill") and it's 5 feet from the TV so it really better work now! I'll report tomorrow when I can mess with it.
I had it working smoothly. First I had to update to most recent chromecast app from google play in US, then once I tried screen mirroring option in the app, it would connect to my chromecast but show nothing. After doing this the chromecast then wanted to reboot and update itself to a later software build. While it rebooted rebooted note 3 and laoded up the chromecast app, option was there to mirror to tv so I chose it and it worked flawlessly and smooth even playing games. I was using stock android TW 4.4.2 and played trials frontier. I have a netgear WNDR 3700 V1 router using 54g (2.4) to connect phone and chromecast to. The tv was like 1ms behind what was displayed on phone but still worked flawlessly. I had my phone power saving mode on and cpu power saving checked. Even with this power saving it worked great for web browsing, videos, and games. Phone did get hot and battery drained quickly! I also use WPA 2 encryption and security!

I was running CleanRom with 4.3, and swithched to BajaRom so I could use my chromecast screenmirroring. Baja is 4.4.2 snd it worked flawlessly. Problem for me is, I dont like Baja. Im gonna go back to CleanRom 4.3 jellybean. The trade just isnt worth it for me.
Hope that helps ya.
I want to cast screen of my Atrix 4g using google chromecast and this facility is available for Android 4.4.2 or latest ROM. I am currently using Z's ROM based on CM11 (Android 4.4.4), but it has no HDMI output. Screen cast option is available inside chromecast apps but unfortunately it's not able to cast screen and ended up with disconnection. I found many articles for mirroring devices by installing Mirror enabler for e.g.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...enable-screen-casting-on-most-rooted-devices/
but no luck.
I appreciate if any one tell me the ROM for Atrix 4G which capable to cast the screen of atrix 4G.
