Interesting - I'm trying to choose between the Infinity and the Note 10.1. Directv app works just fine on the Asus, but just like on my original Galaxy tab 10.1, I get the 'Directv has stopped working' error on the Note. Anybody have any ideas as to why this will simply not work on Samsung tablets? Or is it just me. HBOGO is fine on both.
OK - never mind. Looks like the Directv stream crashed as I just lost it on the Asus as well. Egg on my face

MyYoutube app was running fine playing hd videos. Today however, it won't run them as it just keeps trying to buffer, even aftermore than three minutes. Normal videos are ok though. My brother gave me a Buffalo router with wireless n. I had previously had a Belkin wireless g router. Web browsing is now noticeably faster but this Youtube problem arised. Are there any settings I need to adjust? My laptop and girlfriend's ipad seem to work fine.
I don't think it is your router. I as well as others have the same issue. I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Asus transformer and have the same problem on both devices. I have also tried playing the same video on my desktop and it play just fine. So my conclusion is that it is the new youtube app. I actually don't care for the new 3d look that Google decided to give us. I prefer performance any day over eye candy. I am not sure if anyone else noticed but all videos uploaded by machinima causes youtube to FC, but the same video play just fine on my desktop. I think the new youtube app really suck. I have reported this issue to Google, but it probably will not get fixed until they release ICS.
Rebooting my router seems to help the problem for a little while.

I see the same issue on my Tab and the TF. I think it is Youtube app too. How abt streaming on the browser via flash?
Router reset worked like a charm, thanks. Youtube in the stock browser still doesnt run hd videos bu thats always been the case for me.
My samsung s2 phone running android 2.3 will play iplayer movies drag and drop from downloads for portable device - no conversion. I am told Android 3 will not and my daughters transformer will definately not. Will the samsung 10.1? Its a killer for me - I spend 3 hours a day on a train with no chance of soild 3g connection. The screen capture conversion programs have recently stopped working as well - so no joy there. BBC stuck in dark ages!
I got a Galaxy Tab 4 for Christmas, bought from Amazon for $119.00. Chromecast and OK Google both seem to not be working and I've done some extensive trouble shooting.
With Chromecast, I have a Sony XBR850C with built in AndroidTV and the tablet makes a connection and then immediately ends when casting. I've tried it with the Chrome browser on my Mac and it works flawlessly so I'm ruling out the TV as the cause.
With OK Google it doesn't allow me to train the voice model, it just sits at "Listening" when it asks me day OK Google 3 times. If I chose "finish Later" it takes me to the Google Now screen, I type the mic button and it hears me fine. I've tried uninstalling the updates and everything else I found online that is supposed to help but nothing did.
That's two of Google's core services that won't work on the phone. Everything else seems to be copacetic but I need those two things to work. I got the tablet to serve as a "living room device." It's basically a remote for my entertainment system and home automation devices but I'm a cord cutter so sometimes I'll need to cast from it.
Any thoughts on why these two features won't work? Do they share a common function that could be defective? Maybe the hardware is bad? Orr maybe there's something I'm not doing right but I don't think that's it.
My tab 4's OK google doesn't work also. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. My chromecast is fine. If you are using a automation app and it is set to turn off WiFi once screen is off (for battery savings), that could end the connection. Sorry if I'm not of much help, I am still a great noob
Here's the equipment I'm working with:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM T230NU on 4.4.2 with KingRoot (for now).
Sony XBR850C with built in Android.
AppleTV 4th Gen.
I have tried several solutions and nothing works. The TV has Chromecast built in (called GoogleCast) but it connects very briefly and then I get a message on the tablet stating "Casting to the XBR850C has ended"
I've used several different apps including ScreenStream, MirrorBeta, MiraCast Shortcut, etc... and tweaks like MirrorcastEnabler.
I am looking for a system-wide mirroring solution, I want the TV screen to reflect whatever's on my tablet screen whether I'm in an app like TBS or HBOGo or on the Setting screen.
Honestly, I'm floored that it's been this complicated and challenging. I have an iPhone and this feature is built in and works flawlessly.
It will be awesome if someone can mod Samsung Note 9 to display Dex UI wirelessly (i.e. using wifi mirroring technology).
Personally, I'm against it because the lag will just ruin the experience... But, well, experiencing it myself can change my opinion
Um OK.

I have the Microsoft wireless adapter (Miracast) that I use with my Surface Pro 3. I also occasionally use it with the Note 8, mostly for watching videos. The experience has been great and the lags are infrequent. Certainly not a dealbreaker.
I think it will indeed be cool if Dex can be done via Miracast. I use couple of Dex apps (Dex Max and Desktop Hub) and it will be interesting to find out what their developers think. Maybe it will be possible to add a toggle to the apps that trigger Dex mode instead of screen mirroring when the phone is connected via Miracast...
Great idea
I guess Samsung heard you. Read this article ->

Awesome! After 2 years, my post now became a reality with the recently announced Galaxy Note 20 ultra.
Wondering now if this feature can be brought to our old note 9/note 10 via software update or does this require a specific hardware?
What you think guys?
Would be very happy if it's a software thing and they give it to us with the OneUI 2.5 update (if we even get that first xd).

GOOD NEWS !!!
Well I don't how and when it came to our Galaxy Note 9 but the Wireless DEX function is indeed there !
I was just testing the mirroring function with my Galaxy Note 9 and a Amazon FireStick (should work the same with a Google Chromecast) connected onto a 24" monitor via Smart View, then by chance at the end I just pressed the Dex icon and the Dex desktop display just appeared on the monitor !!!
I still have a message telling the "connected TV" is not fully optimized for wireless Dex but it's still working.
Then, There is a second message saying we can use the Note 9 as a touchpad and it works !
I don't have a USB-C hub with me but I guess we could use a mouse and a keyboard as well...

Don't remember when it came either, but I've been using it flawlessly on my roku tv for streaming from sites. Still get hiccups with it occasionally after a period of time though. Reconnecting usually seems to fix them it seems.
