Connecting to chromecast

Anyone has any issues connecting to the chromecast? My Note 3, not rooted or modified in any way, cannot connect stably to the chromecast dongle. They are on the same wifi, with at least 3 signal bars on both devices. However every time I try to play from YouTube or Netflix I get this constant connect - disconnect until the app crashes. On the TV I see the dongle start connecting to the stream then dropping it when Note disconnects then restarting the stream from beginning when Note reconnects.
Anyone has any ideas? Apps work fine otherwise and dongle works fine with my laptop and the old Note 2.
Thanks

Seems that I have fixed it myself. At least it is working for now.
I was reading the thread on Note 3 WiFi issues in this forum and someone there offered improvement for that problem. I have not noticed any WiFi issues on my phone but decided to do so anyway. Well, apparently that fixed my chromecast connection.

I had an issue but I had to turn off the option in wifi settings for switching to 4g if the wifi connection is poor.

I had that one off already. Wasn't working. Only turning off power management fixed it. However, it substantially worse on the battery life. I've lost 3-5 hours of the battery.

Need help with 3 major problems

Okay. So this is my third phone from at&t. I have had three major problems. I cannot connect to open Wi-Fi networks like panera bread and Starbucks. I Get the word in blushing connected, but after a second it says " the network is slow and unstable". I have had the battery getting hot with moderate usage as well. Plus when I am talking to someone else thru say the cannot hear me. So I put it on speaker phone and disable the speaker phone option and all is good. I've read about people gettimg at least one of these issues, but there is no solution to any of these problems. I jabs tried everything. Disabling through auto connect, and fixing the GPS to where the apps can't get my location. Speaking of which I never had these issues with other phones like the s4. That last pic means when I signed in it wouldn't continue further
Edit : the battery seems okay. But the issue with the calling and Wi-Fi still stands. Someone said there needs to be an update

Wifi ssid not showing

I'm currently roaming and for some reason I can't find any ssid networks when I scan to show up. I can't find any answers anywhere.

Well I guess lets go through the basics first...Are you sure that WiFi is on? Have you restarted your phone? Have you performed a factory reset?
Are the ssid's your searching for "hidden" ssid's?
If I set my home Wi-Fi router to broadcast ssid, I see it. If I set it to hidden, I can't see it.
This is a known problem. I have it; I thought it was my fault for deleting too many apk's. Then a girl came along with unrooted stock phone and said she had it.
use app from play store to temporarily fix problem
My Note 3 drops WiFi at my home saying the signal its not strong, but my computer and the other phones can connect. I have to turn off cellular data to get it to connect.

WiFi internet isn't stable

Do you experience every now and then that your phone is connected to Wi-Fi, but unable to connect to the internet? My temporary solution is disabling then enable WiFi again, then it works. This never happened on my s3 before.

That happened to me a few times the first day I had the phone. I wasn't sure if it was my router or what. But it never happened again. It could also be that I turned wifi calling off right after that so not sure if it was related or just a one time blip. If you have wifi calling on, turn it off and see if it happens again.

Weird WiFi issues

Whenever I'm on WiFi I seem to be connected fine and can surf the web usually. Sometimes it just hangs their even though it has strong signal. This is when it gets weird every time I turn off my WiFi I get flooded with notifications. I'm running the latest version of blisspop

Your welcome.
My WiFi is weird as hell too, always showing connected but sometimes I have to turn on and off airplane mode. I also have trouble with my cellular data...
Have you tried factory reset?

Mine also screwed up ( nexus 6 5.1.1 ) ever since the last two updates. Google broke it. Also turning airplane mode on and off will allow wifi "discovery" and connect to an appropriate network.
