I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere but I recently upgraded my my Chromecast generation 1 to Generation 2 and my ability to cast my cell phone screen to my chromecast from my galaxy s6 has stopped.. it just says connecting and times out.. All apps with native chromecast support work as they should.. Only when I use the cast screen feature from within the chromecast app does this problem occur... Does anyone possibly have any idea on what could be causing this to happen?
Thank you in advance!
I'll have to test this for myself but casting the screen to my Chromecast 2 from my N7 2013 just stopped working all of a sudden the other day. It'll connect and then freeze up within a couple of seconds.
Will try to cast a specific program like YouTube tomorrow and see what it behaves like.
Same problem for me, in the beginning it worked fine, but after the automatic update it started to do problems with the mirror cast and the Google photos.
In the others app it is working good
I so that this is a common problem with the chromecast 2, in alot of phone models

I have almost the same problem, just purchased my chromecast. Everything works except the ability to cast my screen from withing Tablet using CyanogenMod using the Cast Screen option.
When I try it it goes through the process show the device found shows connected then instantly show disconnected. Works on my One Plus One running CM based ROM just fine. So it could be ROM version....
Since its a tablet have to use android Chrome so can't use extensions on it because the extension for Chrome Cast work on my laptop to do a cast screen.
Same problem here using slimkat rom
Updated the tablet to CM12.1 not same ROM but same version as my phone ROM made no difference. Also tried 2.4 and 5 GHz still no go from tablet. Interestingly annoying....

i haves same problem in a lg g stylo i update android 6.0 now wrok fine
Just happened on an HTC M8 too. Everything was OK until now. I have it from December and was working on Android 5 and even on Android 6 until yesterday. Tried to reset it hard from button and soft, reconfigure it and happens the same issue: phone find it and when try to connect screen goes black on TV like trying to receive an image, then disconnects back to backdrop. On the phone sometimes the wifi disconnects from the router and reconnects back when Chromecast is trying to transmit the image on TV. I checked the compatibility phones on page and indeed M8 is not there, but it worked, so is not that.
There is any possibility to take an log on the Chromecast to see what is happening?
Sent from my HTC One_M8
Edit: Seems that the issue was the installation of the Viper4Android flashable zip. After replacing system image from twrp backup, everything is back to normal. It connects in no time.
What version of android do your phone use?
I use Galaxy Note 3 android 5.0 with Chromecast app to cast screen to TV attached with Chromecast 2015 device.
There is no default option for casting screen on android 5.0.
So I use Chromecast app to cast screen.
Everything is normal. I can cast phone screen to TV while I'm playing Asphalt 8.
I have switched phones to the Nexus 6P and for the first few months I was able to cast to screen again but now I lost that ability after experimenting with different roms.. yet I can still go to my friends house and cast my screen without any issues on his 1st gen chromecast.. what a strange issue
I switched back to the 1st chromecast, the new one would start overheating lol

Have you tried any apps; perhaps SecondScreen would do something
Many people have this problem. Because there is no setting to cast the screen on other screen in android so it is not in Remix just wait for someone to make it or try resolution changing apps on Play store
Hi guys, I'm having issues trying to mirror my android to my new smart tv. I own a Moto X 2013 with Android 5.1 stock on, while my tv is a Samsung Smart Tv. Basically what happened is that few days ago I got myself this new Smart Tv and, while I was trying all the features of the tv, I also tried to mirror my phone to it with success, I was able to see my screen of the phone on the tv and even watching some stream flawlessly.
Now, after some days I tried again to mirror, but now, for some reason, when I select the TV from the drop down list, it attempts to connect and mirror, but then an error appears on the smartphone (stating that there was a problem mirroring the screen) and it crashes and I don't know why! Nothing has been done since the first time I tried the feature and I can still cast successifully to the tv (for example youtube). But everytime I try to mirror, I got the error and the crash, with restart sometimes.
Can you help me please?
EDIT: no one can help?
I will like to know if anyone has been able to use Miracast on Oreo. I tried and my TV box can see it on cast screen but my phone won't see any device on cast screen except for it name. Any input will really be appreciated
Pocophone miui 11 android 10 with chromecast first gen. Internal screen mirroring cannot find chromecast. Google home can mirror screen but have no sound. I think previous version of miui it had sound. Anyone found solution other then downgrade?
Have the same issue with chromecast 2 as well.
Miui 11 android 10.
Any solutions??
Native cast cant even detect chromecast.
Ok. Got the solution.
Under casting and sharing in settings there is an option wireless display.
Use that for screen mirroring to chrome cast. Worked for me
