I dug out my 3GS that I only used for TomTom until the android version came out, and installed Netflix out of boredom (screen is a bit too small for movie use), I was surprised to see the Casting icon and that it connects to Chromecast

Why would you be surprised? iOS support is one of the main advertised features of the Chromecast. It supports the same Chromecast apps as Android, except for Google Play, which isn't allowed to play on iOS.
youtube should work too

Wowwee!! Its true. Watching the same videos on my PC and my phone, there is a clear difference. I use ytpocket.com for my kaiser, and get way better clarity than on my actual browser on my pc. What gives???
Some thoughts:
My screen resolution is exactly what youtube was designed for. (320x240)
I'm distorting things with me eyes!
I'm crazy, and have too much free time.
HTC decided to update my drivers, but not yours.
Needless to say, when I'm watching youtube on my phone, I feel pretty similar to how I imagine this guy feels all the time:

Discuss.
Most of it has to do with the resolution and screen size. Ever watched standard definition TV on an HDTV?
your laptop sucks?
Ahem..... I prefer to blame youtube. I'm a victim!
So I bet that there is a lot of you guys here that don't like new YouTube design.
They forced all this bad changes so now you can't even get all subscription videos on one page what looks somewhat good and useful.
To solve all this problems you can now use Chrome extension called YouTube Video Deck or if you use any other browser you can go to www.videodeck.net.
With this tool you can easily see all subscriptions you want and don't miss any uploaded video. It offers different layouts and options so you can customize it as you want.
Videos are shown as soon as they appear on YouTube and if you are using Chrome you can even set notifications for new videos. When you have watched a video you can
mark it as watched and it will hide it self so your deck stays clean.
Here are 2 screenshots for a quick taste on wide screen:

So, there I was keeping myself to myself browsing the internet, watching HD films and playing HD games when, all of a sudden, my phone started to vibrate along with a tuneful melody and said "better half calling" on the front.
Made me jump.
I forgot my Nexus 4 is a phone as well...

Yes, we do a lot more than just talk on these things now.
We don't allow these off topic/low content threads in here anymore.

Hi,
I just released my first game for Chromecast. I'd appreciate it if you can download it and give me your feedback.
Here is the description and the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidappsdr.drawitup
All you need is a couple of friends a TV and a Chromecast. Set up the teams and let the fun begin!
The objective is to guess a secret word. The word to guess will be displayed on the phone of the player in turn. What the player in turn draws in the mobile phone is displayed on the TV. The other team member(s) need to guess which word it is.
There are several categories to choose from. Some are free, some are available for purchase.
Thanks

HDMI on your chromecast could be faulty. Tried with different CC?
my chromecast has always worked well. while playing a youtube video came out this defect.
However, wallpaper images are reproduced well. Is it a software problem?

Looks like faulty hardware, maybe memory gone bad.
