I pulled down the quicksettings shade while on WiFi with my Chromecast on and this tile appeared. When I try to cast the screen it tells me that it failed to cast. Not sure if anybody else knew about this.
Here's a screenshot:

I don't have Miracast (or the like) installed, I only have 3rd party casting apps apps like Netflix, Pandora, and Google Play Music and the official Chromecast app
The moto x under settings has two ways to connect wireless displays 1) cast such as chromecast and 2) wireless display which is miracast.
I've a thread for miracast connection method not working. To use enable wireless in setting of display , enable wireless display on phone and search for device once found select and follow connection instructions. With mine when TV tries to complete connection to phone it fails.
At the moment im very disappointed in that no one on this forum and motorola support forum has provided an answer to my problem.

I have an lg tv, it doesn't work with it. Yet it works with every other TV I have tried. It most likely is the connection type/software the lg is running. If the phone works with every other brand, but not one particular brand, it most likely is not the phones fault, but rather the LG TV. Its unfortunate, but not every manufacturer will make their equipment compatible with everyone else. Whether it is an LG, motorola, or combined issue...it doesn't make the phone any less of a great phone.
Right thanks, what couldn't understand is that the lg is WiFi certified as is the moto. So being certified is not an assurerity of device connection.

True. I have had problems in the past with my lg tv connecting or staying connect to wifi certified devices that are from brands other than LG. Hopefully LG fixes this with a firmware update, but I won't get my hopes up.
Once again thank you I too hope of an upgrade

Each TV brand has different frequency. That's why you have to select the correct one. The ones in the bar I was at were all Panasonic, and Panasonic hasn't changed much, so the first one Quick Remote tried, worked. Some like RCA have made so many TVs that they have a lot of sets. So if the first set doesn't work, you have click "No" and it will go on to the next. The 3rd set finally worked for RCA.
I have to say, Quick Remote is waaaaay better than WatchOn. Many more options, and much quicker response. Feels like an actual remote instead of a phony. Only downside is you don't get a TV listing. Oh well.
Edit: The RF is on the back of the device, so make sure you have the back of the device pointed towards the TV. This is unlike most remotes (and the S4) where its on the top.
is there an app that gives you the tv listings and will act as a remote?
thanks
I have a Google Glass unit, and it reports the software version XE13. This same Glass unit doesn't have a working USB port either (it's broken).
Is there anything of interest I could check out?
As for what I noticed:
- The shutdown screen sometimes (maybe always) shows an outline of red and blue

This is a Home Trial device. Google breaks the USB ports, so they can't be charged. The XE13 software is a slightly updated version of XE12.
Did you buy it from Google, or from someone on ebay or such?
TheManii said:
Not really related, but could you dump the rom if it first?
(im not sure how easy this part would be without a working usb port, you would normally simply "adb pull /system" if it worked)
I doubt that there is an ota for it to begin with, they likely never made a patch for it since it isnt public.
(unless the glass team's policy differs from the standard android one) they generally do not make otas for combinations that they would not expect in the wild
Normally if this were a nexus device, the course of action would be to just use the factory image, but like you mentioned the usb port isnt able to be detected by a pc.
If you can root it without using the usb port, it might be possible to manually get CWM loaded on it and update with a manually made update zip. But without a usb port, if anything goes wrong then it would be very difficult to recover from that.

When you say 'I got my kit from google." Do you mean the explorer's program, or did you buy it for the full price? You can't update/flash from XE13, since the USB port is broken. Neither can you set up ADB over TCPIP. OTA's are unavailable too, since XE13 is not allowed to receive OTA's.

I hoping it fixes the random disconnects. Never happened until the last FW update, then I got one every other day and it was pretty tiresome. Also never tracked it down but I keep randomly seeing something about host stopped working as well as "cannot install app to the Gear" when turning on the phone after being off or something of that nature.

I can see it but still can't access the clocks in my gear manager after installing it. I am going back to d8. I downloaded the dd firmware for the UK and it gave me a fitness manager app. S health works now and syncs. But I started having an issue where my phone answers automatically or disconnects whenever I get a call while connected to my gear 2 neo. Also there is no us update for the dd firmware. I have searched high and low, but the knowledge and support for the gear 2 is very limited. Too many issues being reported out the box. My assumption is people who are rooted or using custom roms are having the most trouble. Good luck early adopters.
Thank you for the heads up. I'll wait

I just installed Google Play Services 5.0.77 (via Android Police), and casting doesn't seem to be enabled yet (Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013). Thinking there must be a firmware update for Chromecast also needed.
i've seen the cast screen on my n7 in the quick settings. I guess this is what its about, just need a firmware update on the chrome cast and I think we'll be set.

Trust me, the feature is in the firmware, it just needs to be enabled as an available app through googles whitelist.
ummm mirroring works for me using the cast screen button. i even uninstalled mirror and allcast just to be sure it wasn't an app that was doing it.
Sound is working as well when I mirror.

Correct. Thus why it works for me on my Eureka Chromecast but not my stock Chromecast.
17250 no worky for me.
Android L now has a dedicated "cast display" option.
It seems to be working great on Eureka 17250! Lag is quite minimal while casting, I am surprised on how smooth it is.
Great addition to the Chromeast for sure!

Edit: I tried to cast a game and the audio wasn't going very nicely.
Also if I press the standby button, the N7 will not wake... unless I unplug the chromecast.
I am new to tasker and I thought I had some slight understanding of it, but I was wrong. I have a Galasy S6 running Marshmallow and I am trying to enable tethering when my phone connects to my cars bluetooth and has to be charging. It keeps failing to enable tether. Can anyone guide me in the right direction to accomplish this?
I came here with this exact same issue. I have it set up to trigger wifi tether when my vehicle headunit is in range, but it's not working automatically. If I manually trigger the profile it works fine though.

I've read that different phones respond to turning the hotspot on differently.

Also, are you rooted?
