So, today I bought a Chromecast (2. Gen). At home, I connected it to my TV (Sony Bravia KDL 40EX727) and tried to set up - but without success. All I got was a black screen (nothing appeared at all). At the Chromecast itself, directly after plugging ac power, the status led turns constant organge for about 0.5 sec and then switches to constant white. And that's it.
I started to research and found some points I struggle about:
- Some users reported unresolved issues with Sony TVs. Can I find a list of supported devices somewhere?
- I tried to reset my Chromecast. I followed the instructions (push the reset button while HDMI is plugged in the TV). Actually, nothing happened. The LED keeps on illuminating constantly white (still not blinking). Google's instructions tell me, that it should turn orange (blinking) and after the successfull reset it should return to a white color. So as you see, nothing at all happens.
- I tried all HDMI ports - no difference
- I tried different USB cables and powering it from USB and from AC - no difference
- I tried turning it on without beeing connected and with beeing connected - no difference.
What else to do?
- tomorrow, I will take it to work and connect it the HDMI port and my computers display (unfortunately, I have no second screen with HDMI at home, neither an adapter from DVI to HDMI or something similar..)
Do you have any hints for? Or is my device just broken?
Thanks in advance!
Problem solved: Device was defective. I exchanged it in the store where I bought it for a different one: works like a charm.

Hey all,
I've tried mutiple and tested with multiple MHL adapters and none of them seem to let me get my View screen to output to my TV. I've hooked the adapter up to a power source and tested multiple TVs/HDMI cables still no dice. Is there an obvious setting or something else that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi,
i had same isue. What i did was... once everything conected - power off and power on. Worked after that.
Hello! I've just bought a case for my Dell Venue (3840) and it has a keyboard built-in with micro usb connector. It's something like this: http://www.tinydeal.com/protective-cover-stand-with-keyboard-for-7-tablet-pc-p-64754.html (The keyboard looks identical, only the outer side is different.)
The problem is, when I connect it to my tablet - it doesn't work. Somebody would say: the keyboard is faulty. It isn't - it works just fine with my Samsung Galaxy Note III.
Is there anything I can do to make it work with the Dell?
Here's USB Host Diagnostics result:

What's your input set to?
Input & language in settings when plugged in? I'd say note 3 is more advanced than these tablets and you might have to change it manually.
Well, it isn't even detected there. When I press Caps Lock or Numlock on the keyboard, LEDs won't even light up.
Hello,
I have similar problem with my Dell Venue 7, when I plug it into the mobile keyboard it will work for few minutes, but then the tablet stops recognizing the keyboard and the keys no longer work. I have to unplug and plug it again it back on to get them to reconnect. How can I fix it so they stay connected all the time?
I bought a Chromecast device. When I tried to setup it, it showed "chromecast..." at the bottom of the screen and after about 3-5 seconds it goes back to the No Signal screen. The Chromecast is connected to a MINI HDMI2AV Adapter that is connected to the RCA port on my TV. Is there a way to fix it?

Ok, so has anyone else had problems with this..
when you plug in an OTG connected usb device (i have the same problem with usb drives and midi controllers so far) and in the notification bar pull down it will say charging usb device, and when you choose to switch it to something else, like transfer files or connect a midi device, it just goes right back to charging the device after changing it for a few seconds or until you tap the screen or check it again.
This has completely stopped me from being able to connect a midi device, and causes the usb drives to get hot, although I can still transfer files in an 3rd party file manager, but the notification bar will never stay in tranfer mode, and it has never gone into midi mode at all.
This is not an issue with my OTG adapter, as I also have the same problems with borrowed adapters, as well as using DEX. In fact in dex, if I plug in a usb drive and switch to transfer files mode it will crash. Has anyone else experienced these problems? Are any of these apps for OTG management in the play store useful for this? They seem to be useless based on the reviews except for testing a UTG adapter. Thanks!
btw I don't have root, my note 8 is fully updated to BQLA version.
Hi, check the battery! If internal resistance goes up so does noise.
Check the cable and connector on the phone as well.
I am having an issue where my S9+ intermittently disconnects from USB devices. Done the obvious thing of trying multiple USB leads but this does not change anything.
Flying a DJI drone that uses an android app connected via USB to a remote control unit. Maybe one in ten flights the USB feed from the Remote Control to the S9+ gets cut, making flight control problematic.
VW car with inbuilt Android Auto occasionally loses the USB connection and stops functioning.
In both instances no amount of re-plugging the USB C lead or rebooting the phone or android app fixes the issue. However as far as I can tell, in all cases power cycling the connected device, be it the Remote control for the UAV or the the VW radio (Car off for several minutes), immediately fixes the issue.
Does any body have an idea of what would cause the S9+ behave like this. Chopping the USB out of the blue. Seemingly the S9+ no longer recognises the specific device that is in plugged in to it and the associated app UNTIL the peripheral device is power cycled. Could this be the "Optimize Battery Usage" function running amok. Have disabled it for both apps but it is too early to tell if it has fixed it .
