    New Firmware (1.03) for Pioneer NEX Units

    This is my fear. How do we know that a 4100 bought today will work with a phone purchased 2 years from now? Pioneer has a terrible track record for updates, and this is what's holding me back from buying a new head unit. I might just stay with AutoMate for the time being.

    Will setup installation automatically be on all wi-fi network devices?

    Yes, despite what was said above. I installed the Chromecast app on my phone, and once set up the cast icon showed up on my wife's phone and Transformer Prime without installing anything on them. I believe you will have to install the Chromecast app on your PC, however.

    Google Play Music stopping when screen turns off

    I've found the issue! Why I didn't think of this before is beyond me... I went to Settings / Apps / Running and took a look at what was currently running on my phone. There were a few Google services, and three apps - Field Trip, Savored, and WiFi Toggle Widget (by Droidmania). I started...

    Google Play Music stopping when screen turns off

    Not in my case that I can tell. It works on my wife's phone, but not mine. It works on her Transformer prime. We're not doing anything with the receiver but listening to music.

    Google Play Music stopping when screen turns off

    Well, I'm giving up for now. I've checked the Wifi and screen settings again, and am at a loss at to what is causing this. I even went so far as to set our screen brightness and time to sleep the same. Short of the different apps we have, our phones are identical. The odd thing is that the...

    Google Play Music stopping when screen turns off

    Yes, same Android version and update. I agree it's probably a setting somewhere, and I was going to start with Wifi, then screen. We should have the same hardware version as well since they were purchased at the same time, but I need to check that as well. There are no automation or battery...

    Google Play Music stopping when screen turns off

    I though I had it there for a second. I compared my wife's and my phones, and the only difference in the Play Music app was she had "Cache during playback" checked and I didn't. I checked it, my phone played TWO songs, I start doing a happy dance, and then the music stops. So, back to square...

    Google Play Music stopping when screen turns off

    Directions unclear. Click the button marked "Clear cache" or "Clear data"? Clicking "Clear cache" didn't help.

    Google Play Music stopping when screen turns off

    But with mine, remember my wife and I have identical phones, so it just can't be that some phones are supported and others not. Hopefully I can spend some time tonight debugging this.

    Google Play Music stopping when screen turns off

    OK, so I tried the wife's phone and it works fine. Songs play with the screen off. I also realized that the songs on my phone were not in fact stored locally, so I "pinned" them again and tried again with my phone. I got the same result of the songs stopping when my screen turns off. So, I...

    Google Play Music stopping when screen turns off

    I was using my Play Music library, and by the data usage I saw I was definitely streaming. I don't even know how I could stream something from my phone given the few apps the Chromecast supports. Next up for troubleshooting is trying my wife's identical phone, and then if that proves...

    Google Play Music stopping when screen turns off

    Well that doesn't make any sense (not that you're wrong, of course). Why stream when you have it right there? Also, I recall seeing an update to something music related that allowed you to favor locally stored music. I can't find it now, but I thought it was the music app. Nope. It's set to...
