In theory I love the functionality of the Chromecast device. However, I've come across a mildly annoying scenario a few times now when using my EVO 4G LTE as the "casting" device. Initially, there are controls on the lock screen and/or in the drop down menu for controlling playback of the current selection. However, after a few minutes of watching Netflix, my phone seems to kill the controls. This leaves me with no way to pause/stop the program I'm watching. So far, this has caused an issue when a phone call came in and I wanted to pause before answering it (I'm not certain this would work even if the controls hadn't been killed). It also popped up a couple of times when my wife needed to leave the room and I wanted to pause it first. I had to open the Netflix app back up and wait for the "now playing" banner to re-appear on the top before I could pause it.
