Any time I try to cast from Chrome I receive this message. I have uninstalled all extensions, reinstalled just the chromecast extension, uninstalled Chrome, reinstalled Chrome, and at this point I'm hoping someone else has experienced this. Anyone think of a fix?
I have sent feedback multiple times.
help is always appreciated

Chromecast was working great, than all a sudden it started crashes with some sort of balloon message saying that the chromecast has crashed and to click on the balloon to restart it. I've heard that it's a damaged profile for the current user.. When you re-install Chrome, it uses uses the profile that is there, uninstalling Chrome doesn't do delete the profile. You can create a separate user and see if that works, or you can delete the profile for the current user and chrome creates it again. I haven't tried it because chromecast started crashing yesterday. I can't watch Netflix, YouTube, or cast anything. I just have a useless dongle.

It's just your Chrome browser extension that's broken, right? Things work okay if you use an Android/iOS device to cast to Chromecast, right?

Just the chrome browser the rest work fine....
Issue started a week after they released Google Cast Beta.
So I suspect they broke something...
chrome does not crash on Android

This is a problem that I have on Windows. On Android it's not a problem for me. My Samsung s4 and my Goggle tablet work just fine.

On Android your not actually using the Googlecast Extension...They merely coded the Cast capabilities directly into the browser.
It may very well be working on Android's version of Chrome Beta...
But then again if I'm using my Android I don't need the Chrome Browser to cast much anyway. LOL Most of what I watch has an App that supports it.
(And yes I know the Browser will support websites that do not have apps, I'm just saying that because I don't really watch a lot of videos on other websites)
I am curious if it will work on the TV Networks Webpages though...
Thanks for telling me how Chromecast work on Android

Well, I tried everything and the Chromecast still crashing. I must be using the latest version of Chromecast and the latest version of Chrome (probably the cause). Google updates something (Chrome or Chromecast) and then things you depended on stop working.. I'm also using Android. And yes, used to work on TV Networks Pages, but you have to put Chromeast on 480p, The 720p setting stutters both in sound and picture. But then, it is a Beta, so we have to be patient. Do you know where I can fine previous versions of Chrome? (I use Windows to play TV Network pages and movies not found on Netflix.)

I'm also not convinced this isn't due to some wonky behavior in Google Services.
It happens totally at random even when your just reading a web page which says to me it has something to do with scanning for units or connecting to GServices that seems to set it off. Cause it sure isn't doing anything else when it crashes.

It has do something that Google did in the greatest and latest version of Chrome or Chromecast (thanks for the tech explanation, Asphyx) . It was working just fine on the old what I guess was a old version of Chrome for more than 2 months, that's when a got the Chromecast dongle.Is there any way of getting older versions of Chrome? I'd love to fix this problem since I watch a lot of movies in the browser, it's the only way. I'm one of those strange guys who got rid of cable and just use the antenna, and Netflix and free movie sites. Hey, I save $65. Thanx for the help.

I currently have V33.0.1750.146 m of Chrome and have this issue...
But I just checked and it is doing an update so maybe they fixed it in this new version...Lets hope so.
Ok my Chrome is now on Version 33.0.1750.149 m
Lets see if that solves the problem with the crashes.
I'm having an issue with chrome on my honor 9 lite.
For some reason chrome and the system web viewer app are very pixelated (looks like 720p with no anti-aliasing). What's weird is that this only happens when the screen resolution is set to FHD+, it actually looks cleaner and clearer when the resolution is set to HD+ (low). Smart resolution is switched off btw.
I've attached two screenshots, one from chrome and the other from Microsoft Edge. Edge is rendered correctly, chrome looks a mess.
Other browsers aren't affected, just chrome and the system web viewer. Has anybody else notice this issue? I've only seen one report about it when searching Google, but that was for the Huawei P Smart (which is basically the same model).
facing the same issue.
Install Chrome beta to fix it, standard Chrome is messed up the fonts look awful i thought i was going blind lol.
I reported the issue in feedback.
Installing chrome beta, and setting it as my default web view from developer options solved the issue for me, even con chrome stable, for some reason.
Also, with the last system update (the one that brings face unlock) chrome stable is always in 720p mode, no matter what’s set as default.
Facing same problem here
Solution
Turn on developer set the smallest width( initially it is 360) to 401 or 411
(Iam using honor 9 lite) . Then launch chrome
Hope it helps.
Hi All,
I have used my red magic 3 phone for about 9 months. Since then I have watched youtube videos, netflix, other torrent videos and mostly playing pubg mobile every night and I never come across to this experience (screen flicker).
This screen flicker only happens to one of the scene in youtube.
I am asking you guys, owner of red magic 3 to test this for me too, I am afraid this issue only happen to my screen and not yours. My phone is on Global ROM V2.18.
Here is part 1 and part 2 of my screen issue, some explanation is provided on the video description:
Part 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emt9-pcNAlA
Part 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaiHSd2qqnQ
How to test this:
1. Watch the original youtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sQCmgCmN7U
2. Fast forward between 0:14 - 0:19
3. The flicker only happens at scene 0:16 - 0:18
Please let me know if this issue/flicker also happen on your phone too.
Any feedback is very much appreciated, thank you.
UPDATE FOR A FIX WORKING SOLUTION:
Do not use Youtube App but use Youtube Vanced instead, now any videos that previously has that screen glitch/flickering issue on Youtube, is gone while watching with Youtube Vanced.
Hi, has anyone faced this issue too ?
I have tried to Factory Reset my phone and the problem still persist. But if I download the video from youtube and copy to internal storage and play the video using local player or MX Player, the issue does not happen, kinda weird though.
This issue only happens with Youtube App, m.youtube but not with Netflix app and local video playback (MX Player)
It persists no matter what you do i have same issue

but how do I set the screen refresh rate to 60Hz ?
default refresh rate is 90Hz on home screen, only in game space I can set which app to 90 or 60.
do you have that same issue too ? (my first post youtube link)
Go to settings >display >refresh rate.
This option is only available in cn rom

I see. Alright I will note this for future reference.
In the meantime, I have just found the solution for the Youtube App glitch/flickering, which is to use Youtube Vanced instead.
You tube vance will cause flicker soon as i never used the official version of you tube

Hey folks
I bought a Chromecast with Google TV and I am experiencing an issue and I wonder if anyone can save me. I am trying to use an app which I know it wasn't developed for this device, but I know it works because have it installed on an Android TV. The difference is that on Google TV its opening as portrait and sits in the middle of the screen - doesn't stretch, where in the Android TV it expands and takes the whole screen. Same thing happens, for example, with Instagram. I've tried a dozen of apps that supposedly force the orientation, but none of them resolved this issue.
Is there anything that can be done or am I am chasing ghosts?
Thank you in advance
is there maybe an option in the settings of that app to set its orientation?
Unfortunately there isn't

Make the panel completely transparent in the settings, there are many different functions. Sorry, I write through a translator, I'm Russian.

Hi everyone, I am looking for some help if anyone willing to !
When I play some games (like Dead Cells or Legends of runeterra) or while I am scrolling with Firefox, sometimes white stripes appears on the upper part of the screen.
Note that when I am playing, it mainly like all the display shifts (like an old TV). Sorry I cannot make any screenshot as it needs movement to appear ...
This never happened when I was on stock ROM and just started after Los flash. Before trying to go back to stock, I just wanted to know if someone had an explanation about that and, maybe, a fix ?
Thanks in advance guys !
