Just discovered this, not sure it's an Emui 9 issue but it worked fine earlier. All pictures and even the splash screen is pixelated when using Google photos on my Chromecast. YouTube and Netflix are fine, screencast however isn't. Same issue there.
Casting from a Samsung S7 and a Huawei tablet works fine. Head anyone else the same problem? I've posted on the product forums as well, but I have no hope of getting an answer there.
Yeah, it's been like that since 9.0.0.108 Beta.
All my other devices works as good as google photo can be but the P20 Pro with Pie is a mess :/
As a workaround you can use Allcast

Thanks, but this is for local files right? I have at least 20k photos on Google Photos.
Well there is Google Drive support at least.
But I guess the app works best with local media. I haven't tried anything else yet.

Today my P20 Pro received the first post Pie update 9.0.0.195.
The pixelated casting from Google Photos to Chromecast seems to be fixed \o/.
I've got the same issue. Thought it was something with Google so contacted their support but after an hour they remained clueless. Again like you, fine on other devices, just the Huawei p20 pro.????

Hey guys, I wanted to see who all here has picked up a chrome cast and what your thoughts are on it so far?
I really dig it, quick connection and ability to play things with no noticeable degradation or lag. And with HBO Go and Hulu Plus both coming soon it is going to be really nice.
One issue though that I have found is that the previous version of Google Play Movies allowed you to play locally stored videos on your device through the app. With the update to work with Chromecast this option is removed even when trying to do it on your device only so you have to use an external app such as the gallery or MX player etc.
Any word or people working on creating a cracked version of google movies or a work around to allow other apps to chromecast?

Koush has wrote a chromecast app just for that actually but due to he developer agreement with chromecast he cannot release the apk.

That is pretty slick and works for home made videos (although obviously he isn't releasing it at the moment) but as is it also wouldn't solve the problem of being able to fling other movies you have to the TV.
IE I own a digital copy of Ironman and have it on my tablet, before the google movie app would play it internally. With the update to enable chromecast it no longer shows up to even be played on the phone through the app, let alone fling it to the TV.
Hi, so far using Google Chrome and loving it, one of the best $35 ever spent!!:laugh::laugh:
I've been having an issue with the Youtube App on iOS (I know this is mostly an Android based forum..), the Chrome Extension has disappeared..- It was working fine until 2 days back, I tired reinstalling the App but nothing works! Please help.
FYI incase this is important, the standby wallpapers still come on the TV so I'm hoping everything on that front is fine, plus it still works on my laptop + youtube on the laptop. I just need it to work on the iOS as that is what I use it for most.
Many thanks!
Not sure if this is relevant to your situation. But, the only time I've noticed the chromecast icon in YouTube disappearing was when my phone wasn't on Wi-Fi or not seeing my network properly.
YMMV

Make sure your YouTube application is updated. With the release of the Cast SDK a few weeks ago both Chromecast and many associated applications were updated.
Hi I've been constantly using YouTube a lot and I'm not sure if I'm the only one seeing this issue but it's very very annoying. The issue with YouTube is that for every video I play no matter what I always have to click on either 720p, 1080p, or 1440p if available HD option for every you tube video I play no matter what. I remembered before all you had to do is pick 1080p and that's it it sticks for every video even when you exit the app and launch it the next day it's still was on 1080p so I'm wondering why am I going through this? Did you YouTube change it up? Are any of you guys experiencing this?
I think it auto changes based on what it "thinks" your network can handle.

Well I can understand that but today I was in my house all day on WiFi and my WiFi speeds average is in the 40mbps and I was having this issue with YouTube all day. I just wish there where some kind of hacked YouTube apk like before when you was able to force 1080p to stick no matter what.
Yea it never does
Hey there. I have an issue with YouTube. When I select the video quality / resolution I no longer select 1440p. It doesn't show in the menu. I was previously on NOS 7.1.2 and updated two days ago to NOS 8.1.0 and the app behaviour didn't change.
I tried also with YouTube Vance magisk module and forced the resolution to 1440p but to no avail.
Has Google changed something ? Is anyone facing this issue or it is just me ?
Apparently the problem occurred after 1st of April. I mean if I go to see a YouTube clip uploaded before this moment I can select 1440p, but after this date it doesn't allow to go further than 1080p.
I guess Google did something. Maybe the option to select higher resolution above 1080p are restricted to YouTube Red only ?
If someone could check this and report back to me. I would really appreciate it. Thank you...and thanks to nittin for his amazing work with NitrogenOS.
from what I noticed it's something related to adblocking, at least in my case. Updating to latest yt apk often fixes this "auto downgrade" too for some time (I'm using AdAway and Youtube AdAway - the xposed module - without those, no quality downgrades, but bloated with ads: /). Not sure about 1440p, since I changed my screen res to 1080p
Edit: both 1440p and 4k showing up on my pc, even on latest videos, not sure how that compares to a phone tho.
Thanks for the reply but this doesn't apply in my situation. As I said, clips older than 01.04.2018 ate running at 1440p anything after this are capped to 1080p.
I believe there something broke by Google. I would like to know if someone else with a Nexus 6 is experiencing the same thing.

Same issue here. No option to play 1440p. I've read that it has to do with using an ad blocker ( adaway, etc). Sucks because I pay for YouTube Red through GPM.... Might have to figure out how to modify my host file to filter out Youtube now.
Ok. But I don't use adblocker. I have NOS 8.1.0 installed with gapps and magisk. I tried the youtube official version, i tried the youtube vanced (magisk module) whici by the way it allows youtube to play in the background even with your screen off (same as youtube red). You'd better check it out.
What I don't get it is why some clips are played in 1440p (the ones uploaded before 01.04.2018).
Maybe other Nexus 6 users will join us and will enlighten us.

I installed the youtube vanced mod, and after forcing the vp9 codec or whatever its name is 1440p came back for me
I am based in the UK and officially own the Huawei Mate 40 Pro. I will say now it's a ridiculously good phone. I cannot fault it at all. Ask me anything you like in regards to it (design, Usage, etc) ... Happy to answer all questions
Great. I am thinking to upgrade P30 pro but very skeptical due to Google.
How u transfer full Whatsapp and how is realistic experience without Google (automatic photo upload, contact sync, G drive, Google duo etc)
Hello
Right, to transfer full WhatsApp you'll need to copy & paste your WhatsApp folder into the Huawei (internal storage) specifically you'll need the "Databases" folder but I would copy the whole WhatsApp folder over so you have your photos, voice notes, videos etc. It's a tiny bit annoying, however, it's the only way to successfully restore your whole WhatsApp history onto the Huawei ?
The experience without google, for me, is really good. Yeah I won't lie, it would be nice to have google services on the mate 40 pro but it's a compromise I'm willing to live in, just need to put in some work to have the dbejxe to my liking. Photo/video/music uploads you can use the MEGA app, simply download it using huaweis Petal search. Contact sync I simply sent all my contacts by bluetooth from my old device to the new hauwei. Or you can back them up on your p30 pro to your Huawei account and download them to your new Huawei. G drive isn't working at all because it's needs gms. I needed g drive for my WhatsApp backup but I had to use the above method I've mentioned google Duo just won't work for now but I use WhatsApp video calls as the best alternative. Gmail doesn't work. But instead of gmail I use Outlook which is a very good email platform. Youtube doesn't work but youtube vanced is the much better alternative (no adverts and had background play)
Thank you for your honest and solid reply.
I am extremely inclinded to this device but the region where I live (Middle East) the whatsapp calls are blocked and we have to rely on Google Duo (personal) & MS Teams for official calls (MS Teams not yet available on App Gallery).
How about launchers (I use Nova launcher)
Honestly speaking, i dont see any other phone which can challenge Mate40 Pro (nor Note 20, niether iPhone 12)
simillar to other apps , several local apps are also not available (Yes we can install via petal search or even other stores but i am not sure they might be dependednt on Google Services)

Why had the middle east blocked WhatsApp calls ? ? There are many alternatives, Skype, Viber, etc
Haven't tried nova launcher but will definitely get back to you on that
Currently the only apps which aren't working are Maps, gmail, g drive but I've found alternatives. Netflix works but not on full hd
Hello.
Did you manage to get chrome, poweramp music player, Uber, careem, Snapseed?
How about the games? I have invested in play store like extreme landings etc
Thank you for the answering

Chrome works flawless, PowerAmp also but the rest will probably don't work because it needs GMS. Games are a thing for itself some work without GMS and some don't
What bank apps not working? And what will i miss if i join huawei from iPhone?
You can record screen at 90fps ?
Can I check with you that the Silky water mode can be used with all 3 rear camera lenses with the Mate 40 Pro? Thanks

I have guidance in Maps, only on 10.49.3 version (of the latest versions).
Glad you have got 1! I'm deciding on whether too but no GMS is a pain, looking to get the deal from the Huawei Store but i few questions,
As your in the UK do you have any banking apps working?
If you use Spotify and YouTube Vanced can you cast to devices?
What keyboard do you use? I've been a long time gboard user but obviously this will be an issue.
Thanks!

Hi, I updated my mate 40 pro to emu 11 and now magazine unlock is not working anymore. Do you have the same problem?
Mate40 pro comes with EMUI 11 ... what update did you make ??
Does the new EMUI always on display show notification icons for third party apps e.g. Outlook, WhatsApp? Does the MicroG method for getting some third party apps notifications
still work?

@future3: I receive notifications from WhatsApp in AoD.
Hi does anyone here use the Plex app? I've used if for months to watch stuff on my home Plex server. I did the android 12 update yesterday...
Today if I play a file in Plex it works ok. But if I pause/exit the app and go back to it I can no longer resume playing. Even if I force close the app. The only thing that works is rebooting my phone.
Anyone else that can confirm this? Just so I know it's not a config issue my end.

I can't even get mine to play a movie or tv show. A lot of people are complaining on the Plex forums about this issue. One person factory reset their phone, didn't fix the issue.
Android 12 and UI4 have bugs, lots of them, nowhere near stable based on the many conflicts being posted. I'm not upgrading at this time, maybe never.
