Google Cast issues with Sony Bravia XBR55X810C

by I_love_fatties

Hello, everyone.

First post, so I am sorry if this is in the wrong place. I checked the side bar, but no info on how to post or where to post questions.

Basically, I bought a Sony Bravia xbr55x810c and am loving it. My only issue is that Google Cast had been giving me horrible trouble. I am using the same WiFi as the TV. I have updated Google Cast on both my phone and my TV. I am using a Google Nexus 6 running 6.0.1 and I can't understand why I am having this issue. I have tried troubleshooting online, and I can't find any info on how I could possibly fix it. If anyone has any ideas I am more then willing to listen.

Thanks and I am sorry if I broke the rules of this sub somehow.

Is your x810c updated to the latest version of Android?

What casting problems are you having?

I have the same TV and i can usually cast to the TV but Google cast usually crashes after a few minutes. Also if I turn the TV off after casting it turns itself back on 50% of the time.

I know this isn't helpful but I'm just letting you know the cast feature is terribly buggy at best.

Roll back the update. For me the updates are what causes this problem from time to time.

I have the same issue. Every time I want to cast to my X810C I have to force stop the Cast process and restart the TV. Very frustrating.

I've had the same issue. It requires a hard reset. Hold down the power button on either the set itself or the remote until it reboots. Upon the reboot, you should be able to connect again.

What version of Android TV are you running?

I have a similar issue as well. I can start a connection to the "chromecast" so that the app-logo appears, but I can´t start any streams. It just keeps loading. Works perfectly fine on my "real" chromecasts.

One thing i noticed, every casting option bugs out, including Spotify. The mobile app can't see the TV. BUT, if i cast a song from the desktop app to the tv, the mobile app is able to see the tv again. This is only for Spotify.
