Stuck notification: "Cast device not detected"

[shaolinfinest]

So I tried to google this and could not find a solution or anything resembling what I am dealing with. It started two days ago, but in my notifications, I have a message that reads,"Cast device not detected." I can not remove the notification from the list and when I click on it, it does nothing. The Cast app does see all the devices in the house and can cast to them. Only way of removing the notification is from reseting it, but it comes back. I tried deleting the Cast app and it seemed to have worked. Nothing showed up all day yesterday, but then it came back with a vengeance this morning.

Has anyone else felt with this and was able to fix it?

Turn off nearby device scanning or kill the process. Obviously, rebooting gets rid of the immediate notification.

Thanks for the tip. I turned off device scanning and rebooted the device. Lasted for a couple of hours and came back.

I noticed it comes back when I play a video in Facebook. Something is triggering it when ever I play any video. Could it just be the Facebook app itself?

Indeed! When you hold the notification, at least in my phone, it shows the Facebook app. I'm thinking that is a beta app issue (as I'm a beta tester of the Facebook app). But are you a beta tester too? Otherwise is a major issue, because this notification crashes the app a lot, crashing my low-end phone also.

Good idea, I am a FB beta user as well and got the error. Has not recurred since reboot and have been using FB frequently. Dunno...

Yes I am also a FB beta user. This gives me some comfort knowing it is not my phone but just a rogue app.

My S7 is doing the same.

Looks like it is the FB app. I tried playing videos in other apps and the FB app is the only one that causes this issue.

i'm on the FB beta, as well. there was an update last night that seems to have resolved this for me.

i'm now on 101.0.0.3.70

Yes, it seems to be related to the FB app! And after reading this thread, I pressed down and the Facebook app settings open up. Turning off FB notifications, makes it disappear immediately. Allow notifications again, and is still gone.

I imagine it'll be back again soon while the notifications are on and if I watch another video on FB. But for now, it's an easier temporary fix than having to restart my phone just to get rid of it.

mine is doing the same thing, and im sorry if I sound like an ***** but what is a Facebook beta app tester? This pop up is driving me nuts!!!!

 

[Steverobida]

I am NOT a fb beta user, current version 100.0.0.20.70 and am having the same issue.

 

[nriggle]

I don't know why it did this to my post ***** all I said was ***** lol

 

[nriggle]

I did that too, but it came back soon even thought I haven't watched a video on my facebook....

I'm willing to bet that everyone with this issue is on Android build NBD90X? I think people on this build that updated FB recently are the ones having the problem. Myself included....
