I've tried 3 different Roms, all stock based and one stock and whenever I go to cast to my Chromecast it connects then immediately disconnects. Any ideas? I can cast my nexus9 to it no problem. Also, I cannot connect to android auto. Plug the phone in and all it does is repeatedly flash google play services has stopped until I unplug it. This is on multiple roms stock and AOSP based. Thanks.

Do you have root on your chromecast? I.e., running community modified firmware... if you are, then I have an idea what the problem probably is
I didn't even know that it could be rooted. I don't think it is the Chromecast because my tablet casts to it fine

Ok, then that theory is out the window.
Yes, chromecast can be rooted, IFF you do so *BEFORE* exposing it to the internet and allowing it to update.

Two questions;
1) Have you tried a full wipe of the Nexus 6?
2) Is your N6 properly connecting to your wifi network?
I have not a full wipe, I've been flashing Roms and wiping all but user data in between each one. I've tried to connect before restoring any apps and it still doesn't work. When I get home today I was going to try and do a full factory restore and see if that works. And yes, it connects to my WiFi network just fine.

Has anyone else tried this app?
Im on tnt lite 4.4 and when I connect my gtab freezes.
I had the app working for a couple minutes at most.
Ive tried different browsers, but nothing, next I might try a different rom
and see if that works.
I have to try and use this app because I dont have root on my mobile yet.
Edit: i changed my rom to G harmony v2.4.
It connects but force closes on me, better then freezing up my tablet though.
Works for about five minutes, sometimes it doesnt want to connect at first either.
Edit: using cyanogenmod 7.0.3 this app works.
Currently connected to my mobile.
No freezing or force closes.
Here is the market description
This is a tablet version of the extremely popular PdaNet software. It allows you to share the Internet access of an Android device with another Android device through Bluetooth. You should install this application on both the tablet and the phone. Then run client mode on a tablet and server mode on a phone. No rooting required. Connection speed should be very fast if your phone has good data service. PdaNet works by setting the web proxy server on your tablet and route web requests to a Bluetooth DUN service. That means only applications that use web connections will work. On Honeycomb devices PdaNet supports Browser, Gmail and Map. For Android 2.2/2.3 devices PdaNet only supports the Browser app. We understand this solution is not ideal but it is really the only way to tether an Android tablet due to OS restrictions. This application is completely free and we hope it will be useful to you.

Tethered via WiFi is just one option but I think the whole point was to do it via Bluetooth.
I can't say for sure if BT has a better/stronger connection than WiFi, but it's something I've been yearning to find out.

This app is beta and on froyo and gingerbread you can only get internet on
Your browser app.
But it's free and I need to root my mobile.
I've been traveling and dont have a computer right now.
I saw it in the market on my Evo, but NOT on my Gtablet. How can I get it from my not rooted Evo to my rooted Viewsonic GTablet?
Can you backup your apps on your phone?
should be able to put it on your sdcard, then transfer it to your gtablet and install.
Just tried it, it pairs but does not connect via bluetooth. I'm rooted as well. From my understanding android had widespread issues connecting via bluetooth as a server/client to another android device.
Using an Apple or Windows based phone I have no issues.

I don't suppose anyone knows if PDANet for iphone supports bluetooth? WIFI takes away WAYYYYY too much battery life.
So here is my problem and I don't know if it's just me or 4.4.4 or 4.4.4 on at&t or what. I am rooted and did a sunshine unlock. Updated to the latest 4.4.4 official ota. Now the problems started. I can connect to bluetooth devices fine but if the phone reboots it refuses to reconnect to any of my previously paired devices. I have to manually remove it from my bluetooth list and repair. This makes every reboot so annoying to as I have to get my headphones and pebble deleted and re-added. I have tried factory resetting, full device wipe, and tried other roms. The other roms like CM or PA or Slim are worse as they crackle and pop in the bluetooth headphone while wifi is on, and they have the same problem of needing to be re-added every reboot. Someone please help me, it's making me HATE this moto X.

I can't because there is no 4.4.4 fxz/sbf for the at&t unless I am mistaken. There is only a 4.4.2 and I can't flash it because it won't let me downgrade. So I am stuck unless there is a 4.4.4 sbf I can flash that I don't know about or I have to wait for a Lolypop to come out

Are you saying that the devices won't automatically connect or they won't even connect if you touch their name. Once in a while Bluetooth (on any phone) can get "confused" and forget to auto connect. Touching or clicking on the target device name should force it to connect without having to remove and re-pair the device. It should resume auto-connect after that.
If touching the name doesn't work there might be something else going on. In any case, there are some apps in the play store that might help. E.g. the app "Bluetooth Auto Connect" claims to fix Bluetooth issues. I haven't tried it myself though, no issues here.

Touching the name triggers it to say connecting for a few seconds and then it gives up. I tried "bluetooth auto connect" and it did not help with the issue. It seem unable to reconnect to any device after a reboot.

Looks like there's two apps called Bluetooth auto connect. I was referring to the one by UniqTec https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect, which looks better built.
If you have Xposed installed you could try the Bluetooth enhancement module. It's not meant for fixing issues like yours but it might fix it as a side effect. I have it on my N7 works great.

Thread topic says ATT XT1058...
I see ATT_XT1058_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF.xml.zip on that filefactory link.. it was posted 1 month 2 weeks ago.
Chromecast, stock build 22062. Was working fine a couple of days ago. Then all of the sudden one night from my phone (rooted Galaxy S3, Likewise S5 ROM) I could see the cast button in RealPlayer Cloud, but when I pushed it it would act like it was connecting for a while, and then the cast button would disappear and reappear. However, there was no change on the TV screen - it stayed on the Chromecast background. Doing some more investigation I found that none of the Chromecast apps would connect to it (Netflix, Youtube, etc.). If I go into the actual Chromecast app it would see my Chromecast, and I can see all of the info about it, but if I click on "Backdrop" it scans the network and then says "No Chromecasts found."
I could go onto my Nexus 7, and everything worked fine - I could cast from everything perfectly. However, after I rebooted the Nexus, it started having the same problem as well. I can not cast from anything. It sees the Chromecast, but cannot connect. Now none of my Android devices work with it.
I tried factory resetting the Chromecast. I could connect to the Chromecast and set it up, but it did not solve my problem. The only thing that does work is casting a tab from my laptop.
My thought is this has something to do with my router setup. I have a Watchguard XTM-25, and I am outside the US blocking Google DNS requests. About a week ago I made some configuration changes on my router (bridged two interfaces together) but this should not have affected the Chromecast - it and all the devices go through one access point on the same side of the bridge). Indeed, everything worked after I made the change. I have, however, reverted to the previous setup just in case and still nothing works. It worked for more than a year with this setup.
Any ideas on where I should start looking to fix this? It almost seems that the Chromecast is only able to communicate in one direction - it can't receive anything from any Android device (although it does from my laptop), but it is sending out the signal saying it is there. It is basically useless as it is.
Thanks in advance!
Update: If I connect to a different subnet which goes through a VPN everything works fine, so I am sure it is in router settings. However, I still don't know what to look for.

I've had exactly the same issues with my HTC One Max and HTC EVO LTE. Daughters GS4 works with the 6.5.87 version on my WIFI and my HTC does not work on her home WIFI. After doing everything you've described with no help, I noticed this occured with a recent update of Google Play Services to 6.5.87. I uninstalled it and sideloaded an older version from apkmirror.com (6.1.88) and my Chromecast world was right again. Unfortunatley Google would do a "stealth" upgrade within 24hr back to 6.5.87. So I tried sideloading the newest version (6.5.88). Now You Tube and Google Play Music work fine but the cast button doesn't even show up on the 3rd party apps (TuneIn, Pocket Casts, NetFlix etc.). Don't know what it means, maybe an API incomptability? Hoping for some updates to Services or the apps that will fix this.

I think if you try 6.1.88 you'll find it will work. My question is why and how to fix it.
Same happened to me this week, my SG3 works fine as always with the Chromecast but my SGN 10.1 suddenly stopped working. Cast button is on and Chromecast app can see it but it never connects.

Hi, I've been trying to chromecast for the last few days. I came from a Nexus 6p which worked 100% with chromecast. If i use the web browser and try to cast from a video channel, it never connects to my chromecast or TV (with chromecast built in). I've tried the mirroring option but it never finds a chromecast. I've downloaded Google Home, that seems to have a bug where i can't login to my google account from my P20 Pro.
I've looked online and on here and haven't seen any other posts on it. It would be good to test. I am on the Dual Sim Three UK 8.1.0.102 (C782) variant.
Thanks
It has worked flawlessly using local cast app.
I've always found Google home glitchy.
Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk
Works flawlessly for me. I've had the P20 Pro since release and I've never had a problem using a Chromecast, although I did recently factory reset my Chromecast, so that may have fixed any issues.
I use Chromecast several times a day, and haven't noticed anything odd.
I'm using Chrome browser to play web-videos and the Google Home app to mirror the screen.
Haven't used the built-in cast/mirror feature, but that has never worked reliably for me on any device
Thanks all, i wonder what is happening here. Even the Google home app isn't working. It's like an authentication error in the app. Chromecast doesn't connect to either of my chromecast devices. Works fine on my old phone still. I wonder if it's my firmware. I am on .102 which i know is really old. Waiting for Three/Huawei to update...

Chromecast mostly works for me. The only thing that doesn't is volume controls from screen off. Apart from that, and the few normal Chromecast glitches, it works well.
I'm casting NFL Gamepass from my P20 Pro to my Nvidia Shield as I type this, it's worked flawlessly whenever I've tried since I got my phone (mine is also dual SIM from Three).
This works very sporadically for me, often from apps that cast (excluding Netflix and YouTube which have a different mechanism for Chromecast discovery) it's as if the refresh devices button doesn't really trigger a proper refresh.
The Google home app often doesn't show my Chromecasts but if I keep it open and wait maybe 5 minutes they'll eventually show.
Anyone seen anything like this?
I had problem with NBA game time app, it didn't display the cast icon after update of the device to .107 but iwas probably due to the implementation of an old. Chromecast API from NBA app itself. After NBA has updated the app is working perfectly
I streamed YouTube to a chromecast this evening without any problem, worked like expected...
No issues here, sounds more like a network issue to me.

Have you guys tried it with apps other than youtube or netflix?
Those work fine for me but they use a different discovery method, see here;
actually... I can't post links but googling "netflix different chromecast discovery" and going to the google developers discovery troubleshooting confirms this.
Network is also ruled out for me as it's still working flawlessly on my old phone and my wife's phone.
I cast all the time from Plex so it's super annoying not being able to find the chromecasts for 10 minutes and the closing apps/G Home, rebooting etc trying to trigger a discovery.
Cheers,
Jon
Oh a further update to my theory of "the refresh/scan isn't working as it should"
I have a CC that turns off when the TV is turned off and this sometimes appears in the list of devices for hours after it's been turned off, like overnight.
I've tried a factory reset but it didn't help, it's across multiple apps so maybe something to do with discovery in the android discovery software itself?
I wish all the apps just used their own discovery like YT/NF.... grumble, grumble...
Further update...
I'm 90% sure this is due to some overly aggressive power saving. I've also noticed the BBC news widget doesn't update as much as it should.
Today I tested resetting a Chromecast and attaching it as a new one. Didn't work. Needed to use another device to get it set up with Google home. Not ideal. Be interesting to see if anyone else can attach a new Chromecast after factory resetting one if anyone fancies some troubleshooting for me?
Go on, be a pal.
Cheers,
Jon
Works flawlessly in streaming from playmovies to casting the screen

I'm on .107 firmware, I never tried older ones.
Im also experiencing some problems with chromecast. Basically, some apps, like spotify, sometimes does not show my chromecasts under devices available.
After some tests, I think it is something related to the wifi strength and wifi+. If I disable the sim data, magically all the chromecasts around my house are correctly detected.
So as the title says, I can't use the cast/screen mirroring feature in phone. I just cannnot connect to any tv
Whenever I try to cast, it doesn't show any devices at all. Null. and using the button from the notification dropdown, it just searches endlessly.
Some notes:
1. No problem with network. No problem with TV. Other phones work just fine, and doesn't take more than a minute to find device.
2. I tried not only on my TV but on other TV's as well with cast feature. My TV is Hisense smart 39", 39A5605.
3. Already did several restarts, disabled active apps (like adguard), still same.
4. My phone is using the latest PIE update (official update but sideloaded)
5. Already tried connecting on the same WiFi network. Still didn't work. Other devices can connect to the TV without the need to connect on the same wifi network.
6. Already tried turning both mobile data and wifi while scanning. still nothing.
7. Already tried disconnecting current wifi connection (set network to 'forget) but left wifi on while scanning. Still no device found.
8. Already tried installing some apps (like Google Home app and other cast app). Nothing.
9. Already went to developer options and turned on 'Wireless Display Certification', but no additional options show up on my cast screen (like listening mode etc). Just plain nothing.
10. There's no three-dot menu on the cast screen that will show 'enable wireless display.' just a search icon on the top right and nothing more.
I really wanted to find a solution, but can't find a specific fix. I hope somebody here will help. Please. Please I'm desparate.
By the way, I know some will say I should do a factory resetting, but please understand if I say no for now. Because if I do, I'll lose a lot of settings and configuration (system-level and app-level), among other hassle it may incur.
Try connecting the TV on the same wifi as your phone and use xcast from playstore. My LG TV is a bit finicky when it comes to connection so xcast helps. But I do have the certification options on the cast screen. Since, you said you sideloaded Pie, if xcast doesn't work, maybe try resetting the device.

Thanks for the kind response. So I tried x-cast (though it uses a different name in the playstore now). Funny thing is, x-cast says it found the tv, which it did, and says it's connected via DLNA. So the phone can actually detect the tv, but why need x-cast? However, TV doesn't show any signs of connections or response. When I also try to play any video inside x-cast app, it's just stuck in loading. (see screenshot). Did I miss any step here?

This is the screen where the TV usually connects. I am sorry but I can't think of any other troubleshooting steps for now.
last night, I did a factory reset. Didn't do anything go. Just caused me a lot of trouble.
