There are three issues here that need to be addressed. 1. If you have your Chromecast hooked up through the TV you need to ensure your TV has an ARC (Audio Return Channel). If you do not then your TV will not be able to transfer the audio signal from the HDMI port to your receiver. 2. If your...

I've had a similar issue. iPhone user's sending me animated .gifs show as still images but when I sent them an image it worked fine. No one replied in the thread I created so I have no clue how to fix it.

Is it a continuous reboot loop? This happened to my TV and I believe it has to do with plugging the USB power into the TV's USB port. I unplugged it and am using the wall charger. I don't know if it was causing the power board to fail or what. The only way to get the TV from continuously...

I switched to Straight Talk when I bought the Nexus 5. I have had no issues. They have disclosed that you have a 2.5gb Data cap. I ordered my SIM card from Walmart.com and had it shipped to the store. I've been happy with the service.

Mine splits them just fine though I'm using Straight Talk. Do you have the Group Messaging enabled? I'm not sure if this is the setting needed or not.

You will not be able to get 5.1 out of your setup. First you need the audio return chance (ARC) on the TV to transfer 5.1 from the HDMI source. Many TVs only do this with TV stations. The second thing is that you need a receiver that can decode Dolby Digital +. Your 5yr old receiver will not do...

Already been done several times. Too bad it's not that simple.

Wow. Really? The alarm will work. You have it set to go off on Sunday, right? If so then you have nothing to worry about. According to the International Organization for Standardization ISO 8601 Sunday is the seventh and last day of the week.. Your phone will identify what day it is and once it...

Have you tried changing the WiFi broadcasting channel? I had a similar issue yesterday and I changed the channel from Auto to 11 and it fixed it for me. Maybe give that a shot?

My iPhone 4s had the power button rattle. I don't see this as being an issue. The phone isn't going to fall apart and this appears to be just the way the phone is designed. I'm not sure why people are freaking out over something so minuscule.

I don't use Google Play Movie but I have no issues with HBO Go or Netflix. You say it's not your WiFi but how can you be sure? How many bars is your Chromecast saying your WiFi signal has? I'm not saying that there isn't an issue; however, the Apple TV may have a stronger antenna which is...

Chromcast streams 5.1 but it's based on the source. I cannot say for all apps but I can confirm that Netflix broadcasts using Dolby Digital + on Chromecast but you need a receiver that can decode DD+. Also, if you have Chromecast attached to your TV you have to make sure your TV supports (and...

It may have a shorter range but that shouldn't have mattered in my case. I had/have a solid 3 bars according to my Chromecast both before and after the update and when I changed the router setting. I have a smaller house (approx 900 sq. ft.). Like I said I had initial troubles setting it up and...

I did all of those steps. It turns out the issue (at least 99% sure) was that my router was set at 5ghz where the Chromecast requiers 2.4ghz. I'm not sure why it worked with the 5ghz prior to the update (though I did have issues setting it up for the first time when I purchased it) but...

So I received the update for my Chromecast but ever since I received the update my Chromecast is unable to connect to the internet. It says it can connect to my router but it can't access the Internet. Has anyone else run into this issue? How do you fix it?
