[Q] Marshmallow Bluetooth Issues - Multiplayer Gaming - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I recently got the Marshmallow OTA and went ahead with the update. Along came a very annoying issue. Below are my Moto X versions details;
System Version : 24.11.18.vicatara_reteu.reteuall.en.EU retin
Build Number : MPE24.49-18
Model: Moto X (2nd Generation)
I have been playing a game Virtua Tennis Challenge on my lollipop based system for multiplayer gaming. This game uses bluetooth connection for the game. Till now this was working just fine. Post the update the issue started. I am able to connect to the other advice in game and move ahead to start the game. I can see games hosted and can even click on the hosted match. But as soon as I move ahead I have no control. Can only go back and the game won't allow me to proceed.
Steps I have already taken;
Restarted
BT on/off
Clear Cache
Re-Installed the game
Initially I thought it was a model specific problem but then we tried the game on a Marshmallow Nexus 5 and the same problem persists. Which makes it certain that it is a Marshmallow issue. My idea is it that this has something to do with the updated security features if any. But this is just a vague guess.
TLDR; I can connect and that is all that I can do. Not able to play the game, i.e. join or let people join. Can play the game single player just not multiplayer using BT. If someone can redirect me to a workaround. Or if there is no escape, rolling back to lollipop seems the only option.
Thanks in advance.

I am also getting this issue....all marshmellow users cant play this game with bluetooth...

Did you guys find any fix for this issue?? .. I'm having a exactly same problem with Virtua tennis even offline wifi games not working after marshmallow update

Real Racing 2 - Glitches

Hi All,
Has anyone got this game to work, and how? Apparently it had issues on our Note and SGS2, in the graphics department.
If you let it auto detect graphics when run, it will download the Mali SD Card data, but sadly this build is missing data from manufactures, such as tracks and other files.
Some people say to use the Adreno SD Card data, but as others have said... Although the game works, it lacks colour and everything appears black. They say to then use/download Chainfire 3D App, that installsa 3D driver layer, but all this does is locks up the phone into a non booster...
Some say the latest version kills support for our Notes, and that an older build v0.594 non HD works, but this doesn't even start at all for me...
Any ideas, anyone else got this to work?
Cheers Lister
No one's played this game it would appear then, even though there are video's of it working on YouTube???
I played the game. It stopped working some time ago. some update on their side broke compatability.
Hi Azeazezar / All,
Thats interesting to know, and thats what I heard too... That an upgrade (from their end) as well as an upgraded OS (I think from either Gingerbread upwards, or could of even been IceCream Sandwich / Android 2.3 or Android 4.0.x) also killed it...
Apparently there is a fix for the game to still work, but requires using an older version of the APK, and due to the graphics chip used in the NOTE and SGS2, that you have to find/use a certain set of SD Data files....
So wondered if anyone has played this game lately on a JellyBean (Android 4.1.x / 4.2.x / 4.3.x) rom, and can clearly list how they did it please??? or via PM.
As I dont like the latest version, Real Racing 3 is no where near as good as Real Racing 2, the game play itself is slow by having to wait ages for car to be repaired or unless you PAY to speed it up. Plus the game speed itself is slow/sluggish.....
RR2 was so much better....
Thanks, Lister

[Q] Tmobile Note 4 Lollipop - Screen Mirroring choppy video playback

I've got a Tmobile Note 4 running Lollipop (updated OTA yesterday). I use a Samsung Wireless Dongle and Screen Mirroring to watch some shows. I noticed yesterday that video playback has become extremely choppy since the Lollipop update. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I double checked my network settings and everything is working smoothly. Video playback on the Note 4 itself is just fine. Just choppy on my TV screen when Screen Mirroring through the Wireless Dongle. Any ideas about how to address this would be much appreciated. I am rooted, running stock TouchWiz Lollipop ROM, if that matters.
Try without the dongle? It does work wireless if you have a smart tv
I have the dongle because I don't have a Wi-Fi Direct/Screen Mirroring capable television. I did dig around in Application Manager and found Wi-Fi Direct Share, and I've cleared the cache and data for it. I'll try it out this evening to see if that will get it working smoothly again.
Should note that on KitKat, the Dongle worked just fine. It is a Samsung brand wireless dongle.
There is no data nor cache to clear on Screen Mirroring app itself nor on the Wi-Fi Direct app. So crossing my fingers this Wi-Fi Direct Share has something to do with it.
I have the same samsung wireless dongle but since I updated to 5.0 i havent had the chance to stream, ill give input in a few when i get home. Also i had a lot of freezing while watching movies on 4.4 not sure if you ever experienced that, it was very annoying. Also I'm stock.
Still not resolved
Wireless dongle playback is still choppy as described in OP. Interested to here from others. A better description might by jerky... Audio is just fine. Might dig around in the build.prop file later. Otherwise, any feedback from others experiencing this issue or others who might have an idea for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
Try booting up in recovery and wiping cashe partition that seems to fix a lot of strange problems for me.
No such luck, mate. Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's bareable as is right now, but it does bug the **** out of me. Haha. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is experiencing this. I'm thinking of borrowing a Chromecast off someone to see if it has the same issue. I mean, the video in every app is smooth as butter on my phone screen, but the TV is jerky ever so slightly via the Samsung Dongle. I know it's not just me because my wife who typically cares less about tech noticed it.
Leave it to good ol Sammy. Sort of like that BS way they built screen mirroring to break on rooted devices using third party (read:non Samsung dongle) back on the Note 3. Anyone have an idea of something I could try to edit in the build.prop file? Any other ideas? I found an app on the Play Store that's meant to fix Screen Mirroring issues after an update, but when loaded it doesn't give me the option to run it, apparently it thinks I am already patched. Oh. And Samsung was the manufacturer of that app, go figure. So apparently this has happened in in the past?
If all else fails, I may just try a fresh install. I'm trying to wait for the latest version of TWRP because I heard some folks have had no luck flashing ROMs through TWRP after upgrading to Lollipop OTA and then rooting (which is what I did; I never rooted on KitKat because I wanted to keep my 1 yr Sammy Warranty intact, just in case). I know tripping Knox apparently doesn't affect the Tmobile insurance, but I've read varying stories on whether it affects your Sammy factory warranty.
Well. I'm off off to play some AC Unity on the PS4. I'll check back later. Happy trails
I am experiencing the same issue ever since I updated to lollipop. Video mirroring to my Samsung smart TV very choppy.
Nobody has any possible solutions for this? Please give it a shot if you have any ideas whatsoever. Now we have two confirmed reports.
Quick update. Hard reset and even unroooting the device didn't resolve the issue. Definitely something baked into to the latest TMO stock ROM
I've even had the screen freeze on the chromecast when mirroring but audio still plays
@knarfies I used to get a similar issue with Netflix but Lollipop resolved it. So can you connect with Chrome cast, but it freezes occasionally? How often is it happening? The Samsung Dongle works without freezing audio or video but is jerky enough for me and the wife to notice. Wasn't like that on KitKat.
I'm running stock and im using the samsung dongle and the video actually plays smoother on 5.0, when I was on 4.4 it use to freeze all the time I'm not sure why is not playing gird for you guys, plus whatever I was on 4.4 the video playback in general would freez during playback even when I was not screen mirring.
I am currently rooted with a custom kernel and stock ROM, but even before the mods, it was no longer working correctly. Samsung has an app on the Play Store to patch problems with Screen Mirroring after a software upgrade, but when I downloaded it, it said I was already patched. Even after a hard reset and completely non rooted stock everything it hasn't worked perfectly like it did on KitKat since Lollipop.

Trying to install a game :/

Hi, I've just got the Galaxy S III Mini (SM-G730V) and when I go to google store it says that clash of clans is not supported, is there any known way to do it? I'm going to use this phone only for the game and for my alarm. It's with Verizon. Many thanks
Never mind... I don't know what happened that now I see it and downloading it... wth... I saw: not supported...
Hello
i had the same problem, you have to change the version of your phone by flashing a new rom (4.4.x ang higher)

Streaming issue, so strange

I have a pixel C, all of a sudden it stopped streaming or downloading videos/ programmes from my5, all4, itv.com. it will play trailers but not the actual programme. BBC I player is fine.
I assumed it was because it has stopped updating ages ago. . Rooted and flashed Android 10, with lots of help from this forum! Everything working fine as far as the OS and all apps are concerned but the issue is the same.
My Samsung mobile steams everything perfectly on the same WiFi network.
Used my phone to tether, same problem.
Tried every solution on the internet, no change.
Anybody got any ideas, please?

Question ROOTED STATE: Wi-Fi Problem with Mobile Games

Okay, so I have been using this new phone(unlocked bootloader and rooted) for weeks already then all of a sudden, I noticed that when I play online games (ex. Ragnarok Mobile, Mobile Legends, Call Of Duty Mobile) the Wifi gets killed causing the game(s) to disconnect.
I've also made some troubleshootings and found that this only happens when I'm playing games but when I only scroll on facebook or messenger, the wifi connection does not disconnect. Weird, right? Has anyone of you also experience this when your POCO M3 Pro 5G is rooted?
~~ I'm currently reflashing to a clean stock rom and boot relocking. Will do some testing if it will fix the issue.

I went to stock rom and not rooted but still having wifi disconnecting when playing games (
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I don't know how to fix your wifi problem but in developer options there is a setting to always keep mobile data on, maybe this would be enough to stop game DC? Just an idea, but I don't play mobile games so not sure if it would help.
