Works perfectly for me. Was using it last night. Stock ROM rooted. There is definitely a lag when scrolling fast, but definitely works as designed.

Usually when an app keeps crashing, I usually try to clear data/cache from the App Manager. Helps most of the time.

Working fine here. Rooted stock.

I'm using xposed wanam and a bunch of other root enabled Apps , caché clear didn't work Any other suggestions?

Still no success any suggestions would be appreciated

Mine works fine too. Rooted on stock rom with xposed installed.

same issue
I have tried on 2 s5 devices and it never worked however I tried with a s4 and it worked perfectly ... I have factory reset rooted, unrooted, side loaded the app and downloaded from the play store..it worked once for maybe a minute but besides that it will maybe work only for a second or 2. No idea why .

You might have a weak WiFi connection. I've found screen mirroring requires a strong connection. I've also observed that the Chromecast tends to want to max out available hardware and then breaks when things aren't smooth, instead of scaling back.
Only tried it once, but it worked just fine for me. Displayed pictures, played a few videos from the gallery, and played a few rounds of Flappy Bird and Angry Birds on the TV.

@LoSt180 thanks for tid bit but the dongle, router and phone are all within a 3 ft radius

Apart from installing new chromecast app, did you update the play services app?

I installed the Visix rom and now it works. Weird

I updated chromecast app on the phone. After that, mirroring worked like a charm.
I can stream photos, video with audio etc..very nice.

No "Pair" code during setup

Anyone know what could cause the LGWR to not show a pair code during setup? Because of this, the watch is pretty much junk at this point.
I've reset it to factory settings over and over again and I still get the same results. I'm going to assume it's a bad bluetooth module which sucks but I figured I'd ask on here if anyone might have suggestions before throwing it on ebay as parts. (or the trash can if nobody buys it)
Here is a picture to show what I mean:

Had same problem ... a quick new installation of the Android Wear app on my mobile and a reboot of both watch and mobile fixed it .... Couldn´t connect the watch after a reset! Tried to reboot/reset watch and mobile many times w/o succsess ... had to do a fresh installation of the AW app then it worked ....
Hope that helps ....

I've tried that repeatedly and even tried flashing different versions of android wear and still no dice. I've contacted LG and that will be my only option aside from eBay it looks like.

Well try this (I had the same problem and find a solution not very orthodox but it works). If you have a tablet or other phone pair with him. Now with the watch paired with other phone/tablet, search in the watch Bluetooth definitions the phone that you really want to connect! This will give the code to the phone! Now, reset the watch and try to pair with the wanted phone!
Give a try... It works with me! Several times!

With Wear app? If watch was paired with another phone, then hard reset will help. Also, that code on picture is strange to me. Mine is with some numbers and letters...

That's the problem is it's not generating a pair code....it's blank! The first time I paired it, it had a pair code but now it doesn't. I have reset it more times that I can could trying to get it to pair to my phone, my tablet, my wifes phone, my kids' kindle fires....nothing works because none of them see the watch.
I sent it to LG to repair under warranty so we'll see what happens from them.

Had same problem just 2 hours ago again. About a dozen reboots and resets on both watch and phone and no pair code ... Deleted the wear app from phone, fresh installation from play store ... and it worked again? .... Sorry that i can't be more of a help than this even i know you tried it allready ...

Hey, I appreciate people still commenting in case anyone else might have this problem and their suggestions might help someone. For me, I uninstalled the app, tried it on other phones and tablets, I even reinstalled a new version of android on my phone just to have a clean slate and still nothing. I tried installing numerous versions of android on the watch and it always did the same thing....no pair code on that screen I posted a picture of.
When I contacted LG they said it sounded like a bad bluetooth module and I sent it off yesterday to be repaired by them so hopefully they get it repaired without trouble.

Same problem here. No solution so far.

I sent the stupid thing in and they "worked" on it and replaced the charging port on it and sent it back.....of course since I told them it was the bluetooth module and it wouldn't pair with any device then fixing the charging port obviously didn't fix it. I've emailed them again but they haven't responded. Idiots!

Sorry to hear that. So they didnt fix it?
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Free mobile app

No, they didn't fix it. I did a live chat with one of the people at LG yesterday and he's putting me in for another repair so I'll be sending it off tomorrow again. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

same for me. the only thing that help me is to send it to lg in korea for fix under warrenty.
try to put the watch in the refrigirator for 10 min. and try again . it will show the 4 digit code and you will be able to connect but not for long.

It's official.... LG is the worst company to deal with in my experience. I have sent the watch a total of 3 times now and they will haven't fixed it correctly. First time they replaced the charging port, second time they fixed a "diode" and third time, the bluetooth module (supposedly). Still does the same thing..... Sits on the "install android wear" screen and won't do anything else.
I've lost confidence that it'll ever get fixed and I'll probably just sell it on eBay for parts and chalk LG up as a company to never buy anything from again.

Hey, I just got this issue
tried factory reset using watch and bootloader still no good*.
tried connecting using Bluetooth settings on my phone and still no good*.
enabled usb debugging and Bluetooth debugging on watch, then installed wear mini launcher on watch using abd(using cable) , then some magic happened and after i pressed the button on my watch it showed a pair code but not the screen from startup settings, then i tried connect using phone Bluetooth settings app and it connected, still android wear says it's not connected but when i tried again using android wear it finally did connect.
I know it is not a guide to resolve this problem but now my watch is working.
Don't know if this will work only when installing wear mini launcher or any app.
Still hope this will help some peoples.
Now I'm afraid to flash my phone again.
*no good= no pair code
EDIT:
I also enabled everything in the development menu containing bluetooth

I've just got myself a Watch R and am having a problem similar to this. When I try and start the watch, it asks me to pair the watch with my Samsung S7 edge. No problem. It sees the watch and the watch sees the phone. It updates, and syncs however, then it asks me to pair it with my phone which it doesn't see. The watch nor the phone shows itself as knowing that each other exists. I have tried reinstalling Androidwear, restarting the phone and watch several times. I also have an LG Urbane which is registered (although switched off) with androidwear.
HELP!!!!

Screen Mirror Not Working via Google Home (Chromecast)

Anyone having issue unable to screen cast from Google Home to chromecast? It will disconnect immediately upon clicking the screen cast button. There is no issue casting directly from apps such as youtube etc, but I want to mirror cast my screen. It works previously on my S7 Edge and Note 7...
Thanks!

Did it yesterday, it works just fine. Had the same issue you're describing with my S7E occasionally. Would kill the Home app and reboot the Chromecast, then it would start working.

Works for me. After I reset chromecast, but I'm sure it was my flaky CC not the phone?

Hmm I did a factory reset on the Chromecast, still the same problem. I even reinstall the Google Home. It shows "Disconnect" immediately after I click cast screen, damn annoying..

I've been researching this problem for the past week. What i've gathered so far is that some process interferes with mirroring after my phone has been running for a while... If I restart my phone, or chromecast - it works no problems. It also works casting netflix, youtube, etc. I have a samsung TV, and when i try to connect my phone through TV, it also works. I called Chromecast yesterday, thinking that it could be a defective chromecast device, but it works other than the above issue. So I think that some process gets activated some time shortly after phone reboot, and that's why when i press 'cast screen/audio' from Home app, it says 'disconnecting', because some other process is already working... I will be calling Samsung Tech support tonight, to see if they have any clue, although i don't get my hopes up. If their tech support guys are the same as their customer service reps, I won't get far with them.
I also tried any and all settings changes that i could think of, and nothing works. The best solution for me is either to restart my phone prior to mirroring, or just connect from TV to the phone (it works that way), not from phone to TV. If I figure out a solution, I'll try to update. I have a similar thread on Android Central in Note 8 General section that i started Sunday, 10/15/2017. No one seems to know the solution, and not many people have encountered this (you are the first person that i found with the same problem other than myself).
Just found this app by Samsung called "ScreenMirroring Patch", will try out after work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...patch&hl=en&rdid=com.sec.screenmirroringpatch

My networks are the same - Chromecast and the phone. I had the problem you had previously, it would continuously drop the connection... This isn't the same problem, it just says ' connecting' and never does if i try to mirror my screen through Smart View (in my quick settings panel), or 'disconnecting' if i select 'cast screen/audio' through Home app.

This is the exact problem that I am having and the same resolution that I came to. I literally have to restart my phone every time I go to cast. I've had an issue where I left it casting for a while, but the phone seemed to forget and shut it off. The stream was still going on the Chromecast, but I could not disconnect with my phone via Netflix or through the Home app. After I rebooted, I was able to disconnect through the Home app.
I searched for a bout 10 days after I got my phone and found nothing about this. No answers, not even a mention of anyone else having the issue. I really thought I was the only one.

So I spoke to Samsung + Tech support, and they didn't know what the problem was. They offered for me to send in my device for repairs. I am kind of hesitant since i don't know if that would fix the problem, and it will take 9-11 business day, i don't have a decent phone to use for 2 weeks... He also suggested that it was a software bug, and that i wait for software update. Since we should be getting Oreo by the end of the year (fingers crossed), maybe i just wait until we get an update and see if it's fixed. I did a factory reset on Friday, but didn't check for the issue right away, only after installing all of my apps. Really don't know what to do... Hopeful that someone else discovers the solution - or concrete cause. Oh well... I will never buy directly from Samsung again. Verizon would have sent me a replacement, and I would have it in 2 days, and wouldn't be without a phone for 2 weeks.

I was curious so I tried screen mirroring to my Amazon Fire TV. Tries to connect but fails. My Note 8 will say connecting to Fire TV & my Fire TV will say connecting to Note 8 but it fails & disconnects.
I don't think wifi type has anything to do with it. My Note 5 screen mirrors fine & my Note 5 is connected to 2.4ghz & my Fire Tv is connected to 5ghz.
Tried restarting my Note 8 & even tried connecting it to the 5ghz also, no luck. I never use it but damn, just knowing that it doesn't work is not good for my health!

I recently added an exchange account, and remember a while back some phone options weren't available because they weren't secure enough and not allowed by exchange policy. I removed the account, cleared cache, and restarted the phone. It worked (usually does after a restart),but I'll will check again tomorrow

I did a search (outside of XDA) & it appears that a lot of people are having this problem with the Note 8, S8 also. I tried changing the resolution on both my Note 8 & Fire TV, still no luck for me but some say it worked for them.

Can you link to the other site's discussions? Thanks

Lower your screen resolution?

So I changed my screen resolution to 450 as in the instructions in the picture, and haven't restarted the phone since about 8pm last night, and it works, it mirrors without restart - thank you!
Edit: I also removed my Exchange account, so that could have also been the cause

My other question is how to disable volume limiter when watching videos - any type, Netflix, showbox? I can disable it for headphones or Bluetooth through sound settings, but not for videos through the phone's speaker. Thanks in advance

I think I spoke too soon . Yesterday it worked all day from the day before, but this morning I tried to connect, and no luck. Oh well... I think it's a software bug. Hopefully they'll fix it in Oreo

P20 Pro Chromecast - Does it work for people?

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 stream from plex or YouTube to a chromecast without problem

Damn... Maybe it's just some devices or a firmware issue then.
I'm on 8.1.0.103, have you a later one? Might be stuck waiting for an update

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.

Android Auto didn't starts anymore in my car.

Hello everyone,
first I'm sorry for my english and hope you understand everything.
I'm using Android Auto since two years with the same smartphone a galaxy s8+ (Android 9) in my opel corsa e on an Intellilink R4.0 and most of the time it worked without any problems.
But since one week it didn't starts on the Intellilink.
The last systemupdate from my galaxy was something about four weeks ago and in the mean time everything worked fine.
Each time i connect my Smartphone as usual with the car the Android Auto App shuts down and in the smartphone notification it says that Android Auto is connectet but the Intellilink didn't starts Android Auto. It only offers me to change to my Galaxy s8+ but without any result. If i try to start the Android Auto App (while the smartphone is connected to the car and i tryed it once to change to the galaxy) the "Android Auto" app shuts down immediately.
I deleted the bluetooth-connection in my smartphone and in the car and reconnected both.
I deleted the cache & AppData from "AndroidAuto", "Google Play Service" and from the "Google App".
i deleted and reinstalled the Apps.
I also tryed to use two older versions from those Apps because i thought i updated them recently before it didn't worked anymore but without any success.
I tryed three different USB-cabels...
The data-transfer to my pc works so the USB-Port from the galaxy is okay. no one in my circle of friends has a Android Auto compatible car so i can't test it there.
Somewhere i could read that it could help to enable and disable the usb-debuggin in the devolopmentmode in the galaxy but it didn't helped.
Then i disconnected the Car Battery to make a Hardrest in the Intellilink and again no success.
Confusing was that last thursday on the way home, past 20min of connection and driving it suddenly started in my car and i could use everything as usually (Voice, Maps, Spotify).
But when i arrived home and disconnected the smartphone to try it once more it didn't started.
Till Today i didn't get it to work and i dont know what problem it could be or what else i can do.
The galaxy isn't rooted i don't want to root it.
Once i had a similar problem and some App updates fixed the problem so i'll wait for an update from "Android Auto", "Google-Play-Service" and the "Google App" to try it this way before resetting the galaxy to factory settings.
But I hope that someone can help me and has another idea what i can try to do.
with best regards

I have the same issue with my s9 on my astra. I might have a solution. Every time u connect your phone to your car and the after the notification in your phone comes saying android auto is connected go to photo gallery, search for any random video if u have in your app. Play it n hit back/return key on your phone. Yes its a bit of a struggle but mine one works every time i do this . Looks like a bug
