[Q] Chromecast Cast Screen - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone find this cuts out usually after about 5 minutes and I have to keep reconnecting?
Its an awesome feature - I just don't know if I find it ready for primetime yet?

It works just fine for me.

[Q] music playback stops when screen is turned off.

I've seen similar issues addressed elsewhere but with no explicit solution:
When I play music on any player (i've tried 3 of them so far) the playback stutters and stops only to resume when the screen's turned on again. Similar posts said the issue happened at the end of the song but not in my case. The playback sometimes restarts with long gaps an stutters.
Has anyone had this issue? Found a fix or a workaround?
Ps: Stock hc 3.2.1.
player
i had this issue too with google play music and some other players
i now use n7player and it works fine for me
its so light beautifull and usefull
u can use handsfree buttons with it and lock screen controls
its available on play store
thanks, in the meantime I had also found out that double twist did the trick as well, unfortunately it didn't work with zimly which is by far my favorite player on a tablet. Double twist is nice on a phone but ugly when stretched to fit a tablet's screen and n7 is really nice too but you have to pay to get features you can get for free elsewhere and it's missing a landscape orientation which is the one I most commonly use on my tab.

Bluetooth issues

I have some really weird and annoying issues with bluetooth audio on my Note 3:
1 - Basically whenever the screen turns on or off, the blutooth audio will cut off for few seconds then come back.
2 - When I use it for google map turn by turn navigation, the first seconds of the voices always get cut off, so if the direction is long, I'll hear the end. And if it's short, I won't hear anything.
Anyone else has similar issues? If so any solutions? It's driving me nuts and I'm not even sure if it's the Note 3 issue or Android 4.3. My Note 2 has been working flawlessly with the same setup for the past year. My note 3 is running AT&T stock ROM, rooted and unlocked, froze some bloatware with TB, my bluetooth headset is Jaybird Bluebuds X. thanks for any suggestions!
I had this with my old HTC EVO 3D and my pluggin BT FM Radio device. I thought it was that but my Note 3 works perfect. Nothing like what you described for me.

Which version of the note 3 are you using? is it rooted with custom rom or everything stock?
I just deleted all system & user app cache from Titanium Backup, this seems to have solved the first issue. But I still miss first few seconds of spoken direction from google navigation with my bluetooth headset. I'm tempted to do a factory reset now...
UPDATE: I did more testing and have found out more. it seems to only occur during audio stream switching. If no music or audiobook(I use different apps for them) is playing, there is no sound cut off. but if either the music or audiobook is playing, first few seconds of audio from any notification or google voice navigation is cut off.

Well, that's better than the Bluetooth on my Note 3 LoL. On my Note the voice on the other end is muted every now and then when calling with a Mercedes carkit. (Comander). And... when streaming music to a high end apt-x dongle (HTC car A100) I get some gaps in the music
Never ever had any problems with the same configuration with a gazillion other Android phones
Firmware: international J7
For my note too, MJ7 rom , I have BT- streaming music and sometimes is starts jitterining and cut outs some times, it note my bt car radio that was problem, cause my friends xperja j work flawlessly. Shame with mi6 rom too before it got updated.
This is very annoying for the most expensive and best phone available!
Same on you samsung!
please if you find a solution contact me!
Thanks for this info. I'm choosing between the Note 2 and Note 3 and will go APTX exclusively. Worrying that it cuts out like that.
When it works, what about the actual audio quality with APTX? Have you listened to high resolution FLAC files, and can you tell a difference with the Note3 and APTX on?
having the same problem, really sucks
hi, i having same problem where when i play native default music player and google map at the same time, first seconds of the voices always get cut off, here what i try using apps

I've tried both custom & stock rom based on several variant of the 4.3 roms, they all have this issue so eventually i just gave up.
The good news is that I'm running on Kitkat 4.4.2 now, both rooted and stock seem to have fixed the issue, bluetooth audio switching is extremely fast(along with everything else) and no cut off.
hope the new kitkat will fix it
hope the new kitkat will fix it, i'm waiting for the t-mobile to release it, hopefully soon, also i tested on the samsung mega 4.2, it works perfectly, so it just 4.3 version , thanks for the information.

For me it works for a minute or two. After that, two kinds of behavior
1. Native screen blanks out, TV output still seen.
2. TV screen blanks out. Very annoying.
But for the brief time it stays, I get both video and audio fine.
I have it connected to an Onkyo THX certified receiver. All other devices work beautifully.
Any ideas?? Any information on the same?

Problems with voice search and controller/gaming performance

Hello everybody!
I bought my Shield TV this friday for 160 bucks including the controller and the remote control.
But it doesn't work as flawless as I'd like it to.
First of all the voice search is bugging. When I search something via voice it gets recognized very fast but although I have already finished my question/command it won't take any actions. The microphone icon is still pulsing like it's still listening to my voice (although there is none). After some seconds I get told that Google is not available right now or that it didn't understand what I've said (although it did understand). Another few seconds later the result of the my question/command gets shown most of the time anyway (sometimes it doesn't deliver anything). How can I fix this issue? It's very annoying as my tasks would normally take no longer than five seconds including asking the question but with this issue it easily takes 15 seconds...
Another problem I have has to do with the controller and/or the gaming performance. The controller is lagging and has a delay while using it. It doesn't matter whether I'm using it in the system UI or during games, my actions just don't get executed instantly. It's not a huge delay (like a second or something) but veeery annoying nevertheless, especially during games. I tried Modern Combat 5 and Asphalt 8 and both games were not running as smooth as I expected with this hardware and furthermore the delay was killing the fun. Especially in Modern Combat 5 the delay while aming was awful. Additionally not all actions executed with the controller get sent to Shield TV so it misses some actions.
I'm very near to the console (two meters) and nothing is standing in front of it or something. So are there any fixes for these issues?
I hope I was able to make my points clear and also hope you have some solutions for me!
Greetings!
I have the exact same problem
It does that only when searching from the home screen, if i search within an app it works just fine.
When searching from home it just constantly listens
I'm french and i have the same problem. I found that if I switch the search language to English instead of french, I no longer have the problem. Not a solution, but it can be a usefull workaround.
Maybe other languages have the same issue.
Ha, indeed. I'm German and therefore had my language set to German.
When I switch to English the lag is gone and it's working instantly.
Is there anybody using Shield TV with another language than English without the lag?
Also I figured out the part of the gaming lag is drastically reduced when I have set my TV to its gaming setting.
It's quite strange that this improves the issue as there is no problem when using the remote control for Shield. Nevertheless I'm still not completely satisfied as I guess it has to work without any lag at all if it's working without lag when using the remote control.

So this is completely 100% your TV or AV Receiver. Basically the tv has a ~1sec delay from where Nvidia thinks it is. This is whyt TVs have game settings. your TV is doing processing of the signal to "improve" it. When in Game mode that does not happen. Don't blame nvidia it's all your tv.
But why is it working without any lag when I'm using the remote control?
As I said before, that's what I don't understand. Is it that much of a difference between the remote control and the controller?

The remote is bluetooth but the controller is wifi direct. perhaps something is interfering with the controllers wifi, especially since you say you are losing some commands.
Shut off your home wifi, plug your shield into a hardwire network cable(only reliable way to stream 4k anyway), try again.
My controller has zero lag.

How to record screen and screen cast at the same time ?

I have a problem and it is that I would like to make a presentation using my Note 3 while recording the screen and miracasting or even just transmitting screen using the projector software.
I tried many recording applications ( paid and free) and the same issue always happens.
When I start recording screencasting crashes and if I start screencasting after starting to record the screen freezes at the video at the point I started the casting ( Miracasting or any other transmission ways).
Is there anyway to solve this issue?
My Note 3 is not rooted and I would like to keep it that way but if there is a solution if rooted I would like to know it.
