    Helpful for me and my roommate RE-boxing the product. We're returning it because it's incompatible with our school's shit wifi, so we put it back in the box, almost exactly how it looked before unboxing it. Thanks for the help dude.

    I have installed everything correctly but still cannot cast. I tried reinstalling/resetting the chromecast 3-4 times. And after set up, it just goes back to being "cannot be detected"

    I'm actually sold on this device over Roku because it doesn't require an account and password (with a payment method) to remember. Just another mobile device to control this adapter with (or to act as a remote which surprisingly isn't a problem in my household with an I-Pad and blu tooth)... Thank you for setting up the video and the walkthrough; otherwise thumbs-up, thank you again...

      What has happened to people's spelling skills. You misspelled "gets" it isn't spelled "git", you may want to spend less time "gaming" (that's how it's spelled not how you spelled it). And go back to school, the ability to spell is an important intelligence benchmark, IQ. If not you'll just be stupud.

      Warden1S , my understanding is the firestick is the best for gaming and for the most games. Other than that I'm a fan of Roku for everything else. However I am now forced to purchase a Chromecast because basically they've made sure that we can no longer mirror image what is on our phones unless we have Chromecast. I personally think that is sad because it was available with Roku but was taken away, probably to force me into purchasing the Chromecast. I think it's seriously sad that they're starting to act like Apple now by forcing you to buy their stuff when Roku is obviously better. It's sad. If I were a true gamer I would probably add a firestick. I'm not sure if that's still the top runner for games. Maybe check with a Google search.
      I'm only using Chromecast to mirror image my phone. For everything else, it's Roku streaming stick per Cnet streaming device reviews.

      I think you answered my question here, but if all I have is my cell phone (with hot spot) the chromecast isn't going to work for me? I was hoping to use this without needing a home wifi setup.

    • @awkwardBOB
      @awkwardBOB  7 лет назад +1

      I suppose you could, but you would have to have more than one device. I'm not 100% certain on this. All I can tell you is it needs Wifi.

    Can you exit out of the app on your phone while casting? I don't think it'd really be worth buying if you have to render your device unusable throughout the duration of what you're watching, better to just took up the hdmi between the PC and TV

    • @awkwardBOB
      @awkwardBOB  5 лет назад +1

      Yes, you can do other things while casting.

    Hey I had a doubt.
    So we can stream only from the options given in the chrome thing or u can browse anything..like I need to browse a live stream in a site not in RUclips under Google ...so can I?

    • @awkwardBOB
      @awkwardBOB  5 лет назад

      You can cast a lot of things.. and anything you can't cast you can screen mirror. Quality isn't as good and you can't use your phone while it mirrors.

    I'm glad I got mine at aBlack Friday price, because as I suspected it screams / streams nothing. Gray screen. And a button - which isn't addressed in the instructions.

    • @awkwardBOB
      @awkwardBOB  7 лет назад

      +John Gotwalt hmm... Should never be a blank screen. Did you change the input to the correct HDMI ?

    • @johngotwalt3143
      @johngotwalt3143 7 лет назад

      it goes into a Denon receiver and the TV recognizes it as a valid input. And little cast window on the computer monitor displays RUclips as the current source. My router is Verizon Gateway 2.4 WiFi - but the signal isn't being sent to the chromecast. Thanks for your help, btw. I am homebound with RA, and thought this would be a great way since I have to lie horizontally in my bed many hours a day.

    • @awkwardBOB
      @awkwardBOB  7 лет назад

      John Gotwalt Is it the HDMI plugged into the receiver? And is the USB plugged into the wall or power strip?

    • @johngotwalt3143
      @johngotwalt3143 7 лет назад +1

      yes - the problem is that my Verizon router does not recognize it as a device or separate network -- I'll be talking to them today - this feels like the last roadblock. But thanks ...

      It would depend on if you can cast from the ATT app. I'd contact ATT Uverse (or check their website) to see if its compatible.

      @The EmRôs Show connect both devices to the same internet connection. The Chromecast device and your phone. Or make a hot spot from the internet that's on your phone so you can connect the Chromecast to the phones internet. So they are on the same internet connection.
