LG G3 Chromecast - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Not sure if anybody else is having this issue but whenever I try to play something on my chromecast with my G3 I get a systemui crash.
Never had this issue on my nexus 5 or my Z1 compact.
Anybody else experience this issue?
Thanks

I'm so glad someone brought this up...I thought it was only me at first. Was ready to flash it thinking it would fix it.
Anyone able to figure out how to fix it or should we just avoid casting anything on our G3 until theres a fix?

Well I get my phone Thursday so can take a look then if no one solves it before then.

Hi,
Try uninstalling the latest YouTube update on your phone. This worked for me.
Hope this helps.

Didn't work.

ME TOO! That sucks! I thought it was just me. What are supposed to do - stop using a Google product on Google's OS?

Shame this didn't work for you.
My YouTube app that does seem ok is version: 5.3.28
Not sure if it's possible to downgrade to this version though!

Wait until they update the app its probably a incompatibility with the qhd screen....report it to them via app store and they should fix it in a couple days

Unfortunately it is not just a youtube related problem. If you have the chrome beta app you can stream and mp4 videos from the browser directly to the chromecast and it crashed then also.
Also BubbleUPNP crashes when streaming to the chromecast.
A similar bug was found in some early samsung devices which samsung fixed with a software update so I believe this is for LG to fix and not Google.

This is happening to me on my lg gpad that i just got an update for a couple days ago! Anyone have a solution, please post it. Tia

Can you guys recommend something like apple tv- just two clicks and I've got my phone on my TV or audio on amplifier. Something simple and compatible with whole OS not just with two apps ie youtube or gallery...

Me neither. LG needs to check this out It's crazy. I'm tired of the battery pulls.

Is there anyone who are having these issues with Chromecast that are NOT rooted? Can someone confirm?
I'm not saying being rooted is the cause. That's stupid talk. I want to see if this is a feature LG breaks for rooted devices, or if this is simply a nasty bug. Some manufacturers do things like that, not that LG has a history of doing this (to my knowledge).

It's a bug in the LG software, nothing to do with root

I have problems with YouTube app and browsers

Hello all,
I just got my nexus 7 2013 yesterday! But if I update the newest version of YouTube, it will restart.
If I use any browser Chorme, Aosp, firefox , etc o play video clips from YouTube, or any video pages, it restarts.
I used to have problem with the camera also, but it was fixed with the new update! Has anyone experienced the same problems? And any suggestion to solve? Thank you

This is what I did:
Uninstalled New Youtube app, go back to old YouTube, and it works fine.
Deleted the old youtube and install the new one from play store => restart like crazy
Try to turn on "Force GPU 2D rendering", browsers could go a bit longer than 30 secs before restarting
Every browser has that problem.....
Camera, turned on, and restart, but in the newest firmware with the Q, it was fixed.
Apps like Vevo works normally.
Install Plants VS Zombies 2, restart every now and then

You could always try and go for a complete wipe and flash the Google stock image. I'm pretty sure that it'll be fixed then.
Sent from the dark side of the moon
Can I flash stock image through CWM or TRWP?
I think nothing works until now! I bought this in the US, but I came back to Australia already! Cannot return since it is not officially sold in here!
I started thinking about the hardware problems
Hope no one will get bad experience from Google and Asus like me! What a waste of money!
Can only use it to surf web and something like that, multimedia functions are dead!
Anyway! I did a bad choice!

I've got very similar issues, any programs incorporating video randomly lock up and reboot the tablet. I've uninstalled the latest YouTube app and stopped it auto updating which seem to have stabilized that but stuff like Skype still lock up.
Brought mine back from the US to the UK and I'm going to try Asus support see what they say, otherwise I'll have to try rooting and maybe a custom rom in time.
Don't bother to root it! Just bring to Asus since it is official launced there! I rooted, tried a number of different roms, but still the same.
New error for me, flickering screen......

What is this icon in middle of my screen?

This icon popped up in my youtube app out of nowhere in the last few days. It also dims the vid. I have no idea what it is or where it came from and it’s driving me nut. Please help.
That is the icon to enable casting via Chromecast.
Silly question but I don't have chromcast so how do I get rid of this icon?
You possibly have Google TV then? It would only show up if you have chromecast or Google TV
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Fyi does this for my samsung smart tv, and does this at my dads apartment as well because the guy that lives below him has a samsung smart tv.
Its youtube telling you that you can send to the ssmart tv.

That's the weird thing, I don't have a smart TV, dumb TV or any TV for that matter in the house right now and this thing just popped up out of the blue.
So the question remains, how do I get rid of it?
Uninstall chromecast

I have the same same problem and don't know how to get ridbof it.
Are you on an unsecured network? On the same network with a ps3 or blu ray player with Youtube streaming? I get that icon when I have Youtube opened on my Note 2 and open the Youtube app on my ps3.
There must be a way to dismiss that icon, right? I mean even if you do have Chromcast, it doesn't mean you necessarily want to cast everything.
Maybe the Chromecast section of the forums can help.
I have a Samsung Smart TV that I have linked to my Nexus 7 youtube for Optional transmission to the TV.
But recently, YouTube has started showing this icon permanently when viewing youtube videos on my Nexus, slap bang in the middle the screen.
Im surprised that arent a huge number of people reporting this problem at this forum. Any solution would be appreciated.

On my Note II this is what I did to turn it off.
Settings-->More Settings--->Allshare Cast and make sure it's off.
Funny thing, that none of you even considered that it's a freaking bug in youtube!

Same problem here, I'm running CM nigthlies, but I found this post --> productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/91-3-Nh3BHM[/url][1-25-true] --> which relates the problem to connected bluetooth headsets.
Disconecting my bluetooth headset worked for me, but it didn't for others.
I hope this helps and that the bug gets solved, I just don't want to have to unplug my headset to watch a video....
Yes, I do use a bluetooth headset when I see the problem.

Thanks a bunch!!! Been fighting this stupid symbol for weeks and never once thought it was a bug or issue with youtube. Just assumed my Note II had a problem or my bluetooth or wifi or anything else besides what it really was....youtube! Uninstalled the updates and symbol was magically *poof* gone! I can no longer watch the video while continuing to do something else but a small price to pay until youtube fixes that issue.
Youtube play updates claims this has been fixed now. I have not tested it yet.

Play Movies Freezimg

Hi. Maybe someone has had the same experience and can help me. Recently I tried watching one of my purchased Play Store movies. I can not get it or any others to play. Either they do not play at all, I get an error with random numbers, or they play for 9 seconds then freeze. When they freeze at 9 seconds, the sound start making scratchy notices then it will loop back to 0 seconds and start over.
This is just on my Galaxy S3. Works fine on my Nexus 7. Also if I use my Galaxy S3 to stream to my ChromeCast it works fine.
I have looked online and xda for info and have found a few others cases, but no fixes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Play Movies. Cleared cache and data from Play Movies and others system apps. Remove/disabled any mods. Hid root. I'm currently on Wicked Sensations MK3, but it used to work on it. But just to check I have also flashed other ROMs including a Stock Rooted MK3. Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas. Maybe I will go back to a MD4 ROM and see if it helps.

Play Music + Chromecast

Hello,
I found a problem with my galaxy tab pro 10.1 using Google Play Music on the chromecast. When i'm connected to the chromecast and run music with the google play music app on the tablet, if i drag the notification bar, an error append and UI does not respond anymore. And the error is in a loop so i have no other choice than restart the tablet.
Is it possible for someone to make this test ? I tried with different launcher but it is the same, so i think it's due to the system...
Thanks
Exact same issue here. Glad I am not the only one to stumble across this weird bug.
It's a known bug affecting most 4.4.2 Samsung devices. Samsung blames Google, Google blames Samsung.

Systemui crash mirrorcast

My tab s is crashing when I am mirror casting from youtube. this happens after I connect to tv and press the volume rocker. Is my unit defective?
BTW it's stock.
Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk
I just check mine does it also, it must be an app problem.
Mine crashes when doing Google Play Movies and Chromecast. The Tab Pro also did this. My advice is contact samsung so they know about the issue and can fix it.
Contacted Samsung, they are totally oblivious to this issue.

It's been mentioned on the Note 2014, since the KK upgrade as a problem too.
Apparently as a workaround make sure no items or apps are in the Notification pulldown, so disable all app notifications so it's clean and stock and it shouldn't crash while casting.
This is an old thread, but I there is an Xpose mod that fixed this for me on my Tab S 8.4" (MF9 firmware), so I though I would share:
