27 Comments

1. I got 2 phones,now the one that has Android 14 is not connecting to the Chromecast(yesterday it work)put the old phone whit Android 12 working whit Chromecast so can anybody say what the hell. GREETINGS FROM FINLAND 🇫🇮👍

2. Yo no lo pude actualizar. Lo reinicie de fabrica y tampoco pude sigue con Android 12. Ya no se que hacer? Ayuda x favor

3. My Ethernet works just fine but it seems very sluggish right now.

4. Android 14 supprime la possibilité d'utiliser un hub avec une carte mémoire.
   Il produit aussi l'erreur de l'alimentation insuffisante.

5. can one file a complaint about this new update and can one revert to the previous version? I am having problems with the CLEC setting. For some reason now, with the option on the chromecast on on the TV I have, if I switch the input from the HDMI port the Chromecast to the TV or antenna, a few seconds later the TV switches back to the Chromecast. I have to disable CLEC on Chromecast or if I keep it on, I have to reboot the Chromecast then switch back to another TV input that I desire then the TV does switch back to the port the Chromecast is connected to. This did not happen before and it has had this unwanted behavior after the update that I now regret accepting. It is just an inconvenience.

6. So audio now is always statterin trough Bluetooth and on YouTube it just dies out of nowhere, disconnects remote, wifi, Bluetooth all at once and loading screen until I unplug it. Was fine before I hate this

7. I updated my chromecast hd with google tv and now i cant connect my audio interface

8. For several years now I have been using my portable Formovie dmd smart projector with ccgtv, which was powered directly from the projector's usb 3.0 from its built-in battery. After the update to Android 14, this is no longer possible. Since I am furious with Google for yet another device they screw up (a week ago, with an update, they destroyed the battery of pixel 6a), I decided not to put up with it this time and with the help of chat gpt I came to a solution that worked. I bought the cheapest power bank possible (12 euro – I JMB 10k mah 22.5w, with two-way fast charging function, a completely unknown brand to me) and everything works again. The new configuration is the power bank plugged into the projector's usb 3.0 and the ccgtv plugged into the power bank, quite ugly, but still compact and portable without the need for dc in.  And now I can happily say " F*** you Google and your software restrictions".

9. I had 2 chromecast google tv's. One was updated to android 14 wich gave me problems. The other i have, had the android 12 with a full storage so it couldnt automaticly update. Obliously i kept the storage full so it wouldt automaticly update. Now this night it still automaticly pushed the update even with the full storage exeeding the storage amount wich i thougt wouldnt be impossible. Its like they intentionaly made it shitty so people would upgrade. Never a google tv product again. Can't get moonlight to work. Stremio also have problems with content. I believe somthing to do with H.265 not being supported anymore. I also couldnt make it work with external usb stick anymore trough a hub. Ethernet does work though. I want my money back or let us atleast downgrade to android 12. The way it is now it doesnt do the things i need. Everything just worked great with android 12
