can't cast entire screen

Hi everyone, so I just got my Chromecast but I'm having issues casting entire screen on my main PC (laptop works fine). What could possibly be blocking this? I've mess with all my routers setting from 2.4Ghz to 5GHz band and it still doesnt work. I've also tried re-downloading flash, disabled UAC, firewall, anti-virus, and anything I could think of that could cause this. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I've searched a tons but it doesnt seem to be a common problem. Regular casting works fine but it immediate errors when I try desktop mode.

Comparing between my PC and laptop there is a few software difference.
Firmware: 14975
PC
-Windows 8.1
-Latest Chromebrowser
-Latest flashplayer
-Connected on 5Ghz
-UAC disabled
-Win firewall disabled
Laptop
-Windows 8
-Older Chromebrowser 31.0.1653
-Connected on 5Ghz
-UAC disabled
-Win firewall disabled
The only thing left I havent try is plugging direct Ethernet to the router instead of connecting wireless (its an HTPC) if the wi-fi card is the problem.
Really about just give up at this point, so frustrating!!

Could this possibly help? It's a few posts up.

The guy at the end of the thread has a workaround, but there are several comments with similar problems and solutions. Hope it helps.

Definitely try a wired connection if you can - that will help rule out general wireless congestion.

So it was a bandwidth/connection issue. I switch to 2.4Ghz and it works!
My HTPC is using the onboard wi-fi card and it seems picky on the 5Ghz upstream with my router. The strange thing is that I never got that "bandwidth connection notification" or orange icon when Chromecast is having network problem; so I never bother to go back and check.
I also check out the Chromecast app and it doesnt even pick up my 5Ghz band so maybe there is some compatibility issue there.
Thanks all for the help! :good:

Glad you got it figured out. The Chromecast PC app is geared to connect to the Chromecast setup AP which is 2.4GHz.
The Chromecast Android app will use on 5GHz but only after Chromecast is set up, when it isn't trying to actively set up a Chromecast.
First I'd run Chromecast as it is and see if you encounter any issues. If not, you could just leave it alone...
But if curiosity keeps you up at night, it's possible there's a compatibility issue with your HTPC's wireless NIC and your router. Try setting your router's 5GHz AP to a lower speed range and see if that helps the connection stability.

Hi how do I cast to PC? I mean where would I connect the ccast to and what app do I need? I'm new to this lol

Chromecast is made to show video on a television. You could hook it up to your PC monitor if it has an HDMI input, or you could use the CR Cast extension (check FAQ for link) to make computer Chrome act like a Chromecast.
Only really makes sense if you have an HTPC though... otherwise it's like using a TV to remote control another TV.

Disable Allow Access to Phone Data

Is there a way to disable this or permanently allow access? I have no idea why but after my last factory reset it didn't pop up so I know it's possible.

Anyone?

Is it actually connected to a PC when these "normal" pop ups occur?
If not, I suspect a dirty USB Type-C port.

Any luck? I also want these prompts to remain hidden. I dont need to be notifed about this every time I connect my device to my vehicle to charge.

For me when I do "Cancel Autorisation for Debug USB" in Developper Settings, there is an additional Pop up that appear, saying to Remeber the answer for this PC, and always an option to tick to remeber for this PC, and some serial number related to my PC appear.
Of course I select all those, and always for this PC, it is supposed to remember my answer, but it doesnt! everytime I need to connect to my PC need to allow that ****!!
On my S7e I need to allows & remember answer for this PC aand it works like a charm, it never pop up again and connection between Phone and PC is working as should.
I read around that Root should be present for some kind of Auto Allow, but could not find any modules or anything...
If someone know how to accomplish that with Root, thx in advance.

Can you try disabling com.sec.usbsettings with ADB? I believe that app is what controls the pop up, but it might break other things. Honestly this was a huge f up by samsung. What were they thinking? Why would we want a pop up message every time we plug our phone into our vehicle to charge it or to use android auto?

unfortunaly I tried looking for "com.sec.usbsettings" to disable it with ADB, but not avalable on my phone.
I had hope with Firefds Kits Module & Xposed, but dont seems to be working, that was the kind of solution I was looking for. Sure should some kind of trick like that around.

I have this issue too. Honestly the only solution seems to be to not plug your device into any kind of computer to charge. If the issue is happening when you plug your device into your vehicle to use android auto, then you would have to use wireless android auto and set your USB behavior to disable file transfer which will prevent it from attempting to connect to the head unit computer which causes the stupid message. Kind of a dumb design oversight to have to prompt the user with no way to turn it off but what did you expect? These are the same people who came up with all this other forced system bloatware like device care.

How to install Android Auto Wireless with compatible Head Unit?

At first I want to post what's the given Information from Google and then ask afterwards, what I don’t get here.
Requirements
(pls click here to get to the original Source):
A compatible Android phone with an active data plan, 5 GHz Wi-Fi support, and the latest version of the Android Auto app. Wireless projection is compatible with these Android versions:
Any phone with Android 11.0
A Google or Samsung phone with Android 10.0
A Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, or Note 8, with Android 9.0
A compatible car or stereo. Find out if your car or stereo is compatible with Android Auto .
Tips:
To find out if your phone has 5 GHz Wi-Fi support, contact your manufacturer.
In the EU, to use 5 GHz Wi-Fi in the car, your smartphone must comply with additional regulatory requirements. On Google smartphones, Pixel 3 and newer models comply with this requirement.
To find out if your specific car model is compatible with wireless Android Auto, contact your car manufacturer.
=> What I have:
- Mi 8 with LOS 18.1 / GApps Pico installed
- HU with 5 GHz WiFi and Bluetooth
- AA via USB works flawlessly
- CarPlay via USB and Wireless works flawlessly
- Android Auto V. 7.1.614584-release
- Google Play Services 21.48.15
=> What I want: <=
- working AA WIRELESS
Recommend installation process from Google:
Step 1. Prepare your phone & car​
Make sure your phone meets the minimum requirements.
Confirm that your car is compatible with Android Auto Wireless . If you're not sure, contact your local car dealer.
Ensure your phone has a strong and fast cellular data connection.
Step 2. Connect your phone​
Important: The first time you connect your phone to the car, you’re required to pair your phone and car via Bluetooth. For best results, keep Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Location Services turned on during setup. Make sure your car is in park (P) and allow time to set up Android Auto before you start your drive.
Plug a USB cable into your vehicle’s USB port and plug the other end of the cable into your Android phone.
Your phone might ask you to download the Android Auto app or update to the newest version of the app.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup.
Step 3. Start Android Auto​
Your wireless connection might take a few seconds to start. You might need to tap Android Auto

on your car display.
Step 4. Disconnect your phone (from wireless projection)​
If you want to stop using Android Auto wirelessly, on your phone notifications screen, tap Exit driving mode.
Drive safely. Pay attention to the road and driving conditions, and always obey applicable laws.
Now my questions:
1.Why does that f***Ing sh*t* installation procedure not work, even if I stick to everything? Any ideas?
2. Can anybody explain me what has (technically) to happen between the AA app on the smartphone and the head unit of my car, so that I can try to force both devices to do what is intended?
3. Why to hell does the AA wireless implementation need a USB cable connection (you see this is somehow connected with question 2)?
4. Are there any special settings (not the standard toggles) in the AA App (or in the AA developer options or the developer options of LOS) which I should (or possibly shouldn't!) have done to make it work?
It would be great, if somebody could help me to unterstand the setup process and my problem in this case.

1) You've provided no detail on what happens/where it fails.
3) It doesn't necessarily. Some BMW models support wireless AA, but not wired. But units which support both typically require you to connect via USB first, so the HU and phone can trade information (such as BT addresses, WiFi SSID, etc.).
What HU do you have? Does it specifically say it supports wireless AA? Supporting WiFi alone is not sufficient.

1. Because there is nothing special to provide - it fails when it comes to the connection with the head unit. A Bluetooth connection is established to use the phone function, but there is no connection to use AA. It does not appear on the display. Wifi does not connect. If I try to connect manually to the head unit Wifi I fail because I don't know the WPA2 Password (consisting of 8 letters).
3. Thank you for that Information. I just wondered why the Google description seems to make that USB-Connection mandatory. Since my head unit supports both (wired + wireless, I should probably try that again with USB plugged in the whole time). Is it important to implement the wireless connection within the very first connection with the head unit (should I reset everything?) or dosn't it play any role and can be done at any time later after a succesful first USB-Connection?

Wireless Android + Chrome Cast in car Now

Most car models produced don’t come with wireless Android Auto functionality. So what do you do if you’ve got an older model, or a new one that doesn’t come with wireless connection built in? This wireless dongle running perfect on my 19' E350.

For sure it's true, before I considered Ottocast which supports wireless AA/ CarPlay, I choose this cause it added ChromeCast that allowing project Videos to Car. It's cool! right?

The screen mirroring feature - are you sure it's "Chromecast" and not "MiraCast"?
I ask because android phones such as Samsung phones support "Miracast", but Google Pixel phones can NOT do "Miracast" - they can only do Chromecast.

That's cool! this means I can cast TV from phone to car display. So how can I do it? connect via lightning cable or Bluthooth?

Your car needs to support Android Auto via a "Wired" connection, then it looks like this gizmo will allow you to connect your phone to your car using "wireless" Android auto. And it looks like it will also allow your car's screen to mirror your phone's display.

I have a question, when it is mirroring the display on your phone, does the car touch screen allow you to interact with your android phone?
Meaning, if your phone is displaying your home screen, and your car's display is also displaying your home screen (via the screen mirror feature), can you tap on an app icon on your cars display (not your phone's display) and have the app launch on your phone, or does the touch-screen on your car display do nothing when in "mirror" mode ?

As you can see on the screen, there're 2 entrances, one is "mirror" and one is "Cast"
Mirror is the entrance that allows you mirror your phone screen to car display, this static, that only show your phone screen on car display.
Cast is that you can project TVs, like YouTube or any streaming media from phone to car display, and you can also tap on icons on cars display to speed or back to home screen.

If you would like install all Google play stores apps to your car, the aacarplay pro box should be the right one for you! I don't need that much apps so I pickup the standard one, cuz aacarplay pro costs $100 more.

Hi. does wireless android auto work stable? I am looking for another one called AI Box from aacarplay, no limit to down apps.

Can someone test this for me...
Does "wireless" android auto work while the "hotspot" feature is turned on your phone?

Same question!

For the first time setup, keep Bluetooth and phone's hotspot on, after connecting with Android Auto, I can see the the hotspot is off, paired with Bluetooth.
It still using your phone's date while connecting android auto, just keep your Bluetooth on, it will be automatically connected. No need to open phone's hotspot.

Question Issues with DS4 controller

Greetings, this is my first time posting here and I've tried different websites but to no avail.
My DS4 controller connects via bt to my phone and after 30s it just disconnects for no apparent reason.
Tested it on my older phone, works perfectly. Tested it on iPad, works perfectly. Both times about 30mins, two different games.
Also, it works on my PC as well.
This makes me think that the issue is with Galaxy A33, something is disconnecting my controller.
Even after doing a full factory reset nothing changed.
What can I do to try to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
