S7 edge and chromecast 2 screencast problem - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi.Have an s7 edge with stock marshmallow and an chromecast 2.Everything works great except for one thing.In the app google home there is the option cast screnn/aduio...well it doesnt work properlly.
It`s something like this: -" When I press "Cast screen/audio" from "Google Cast" app and select a chromecast device, the screen/audio is not mirrored.
When I press the "Cast screen/audio" button again, the app shows that I am already casting to the previously selected device."
-When I try to use the "Screen Cast"option in the chromecast app on my phone, the TV screen goes black and immediatly I see a message on my phone stating "Screen Cast to <Chromecast Name> ended, that stays for a couple of seconds followed by a short message that says "Disconnecting".
After a lots of attempts it`s connects...2 or 3 times and than same failure.
It works well with youtube or everything else...In my daughter`s S4 lollipop it doesn`t fails.I`ve tried factory reset chromecast,i have all the permissions in play services and google home.Tried uninstalling app and rebooting phone and same thing.Rebooted router...

Smart Remote issues

All of a sudden (on verizon note 4)-smart remote kept force closing. Wouldn't work.
Went to applications and cleared everything and uninsulated update.
Now when I go into app can't choose USA. I go to update it in app store and says 'not compatible'!
Anyone else?
I put watch on on note 4 and working. So not a big deal.
Update- waited 4 hours. Then worked again. So odd.
I'll use this threat - can someone explain to me how does this stupid app work.
I have a room with 2 devices - one TV and one AV Receiver. How on earth I can change what the remote controls?
Thanks
Someone please?
Few days ago there was an update and now the app asks every time when I press and on/off button what I want to control. But with the volume key, once selected what i want to control I cannot control the other device.

[Q] OK GOOGLE keeps breaking

Sadly, the ability of my s5 (Kitkat 4.4.2 SM-6900T NK2) to respond to "OK Google" from any screen is very, very unreliable these days. If I go back to an earlier version of Google Search, sometimes it will work again. If I update to the latest version, sometimes that will work for a day, then it breaks again. Sometimes if I just retrain it to recognize me saying OK Google, it will work for a while.
While it's broken, I can even try OK Google from the screen the widget is on, and nothing happens.
This is really annoying. I've made sure that all the required options are selected, such as audio history on, from google search app, from any screen, and from lock screen.
Is anyone else having this same problem?
Tried clearing data & cache for the actual app itself?

Any way to disable EPD for SKY Q app?

I have had trouble with the Sky Q app in the UK since having a Yotaphone 2. It give an error when trying to watch the TV channels saying "Sorry, you can't stream anything whilst connected to another device". At first I though it was a mirrorcast issue but having just installed the Marshmallow beta, the first thing I did was try the Sky Q app and it worked. I then noticed that the EPD was just displaying the YOTAPHONE message and had not yet activated. I turned it on and got the clock showing but since then I get the error message again. There seems to be no way to 'turn off' the EPD to get it working again.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Joying 9 Inch Double Din Android 8.1.0... can’t login to google

So every time I try and login to google from either chrome, YouTube, google maps, or the settings, I get the same dialogue that pops up... it’s a blue dialogue that says “Checking Info” and never finds anything... never goes to another screen, I have to eventually just use the “back” or “home” button to get out of it...
Thoughts?
PS I’m connected to WiFi, it does the same thing whether I’m connected with my iPhone or not...
Clear data and cache for all the Google apps in the device-apps settings. That worked for me.

unable to screen mirror (downgraded from Lineage 17.1 to 16)

Hi,
after upgrading to Lineage 17 on my Oneplus Two, screen mirroring stopped working (i know i know, google changed to chromecast and miracast was blocked).
Strangely, I tried to wipe everything and installed back Lineage 16 but still unable to do screen mirroring. (eventhough previously when I was on 16 i think, I could do screen mirroring using the very same Oneplus Two and the very same Samsung tv).
In 16 I can swipe from up, select Cast, then Settings, then three dots and check "Enable wireless display" - this option is not available in Lineage 17.
After that, my TV shows up in the list. I set my Samsung smart TV into screen mirroring source and after i click on tv name on the phone, i can see on the tv, that my android device has connected, but after a sec or two secs phone seems to restart/reboot to black background and main menu. TV still says "android device connected" and phone still says "in use" next to Tv name, but there's no screen mirroring happening.
Wifi direct option also allows to connect phone and tv, but nothing happens.
Does anyone have a clue on what to do ?
Just wanted to add, that reverting to Lineage 15 (and not restoring settings from cloud) helped.
