Possible to cast from Android smartphone to Chromecast 3 without use of dedicated WiFi/router Hi, for some reason, I was unable to log into this forum with my old profile under which I posted the thread in the following link a while ago...

Possible to cast from Android smartphone to Chromecast 3 without use of WiFi (part #2) Hi, I previously posted a similar post in regards to this question (mentioned in the title) but never found a decisive answer in terms of the matter at hand. So, I am hereby trying again to see if someone...

This is Gold. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much. I'll try to go through with your instructions for the uninstall of the stock app and subsequent reinstall of the older app version to see if that approach is feasible at all or will pose issues. I had similar thoughts into that...

Thanks for your input but I am afraid that I am not entirely sure, what you were referring to. Could you rephrase, please?

This is what I tried to indicate in my last posts. I don't really care what Google's endgame is, if it's an advertisement company etc. I am also fully aware of the fact, that Chad Hurley, Steve Chen etc. were the original creators of the site and that they sold it on to Google. In fact I have...

B. Diddy For a reply to your first paragraph, please see my last post and explanation about this subject to smvim. I don't agree with the concept of Google being a 'victim' or a 'poor' company here. You can easily Google the revenue and issues related to the same and find plenty of proof for...

I'm haven't really been keen on mentioning it by name so far as I would hate to give Google some good 'ideas' in terms of the app nor their search algorithm an easy time and was hoping, that my hint at 'clips' and Vimeo as an alternative would have been sufficient to identify it. But to make...

hallux It might or might not work that way on iOS. I really don't know since I haven't tried it nor - as mentioned previously - use that platform at all but it is also irrelevant. As indicated in my last answer to smvim I hinted that I never wanted to nor do I use Apple products due to the...

smvim Unfortunately, that's not an option since they basically (through their tactics of bait and switch, first giving away 'free' services and thereby forcing all their competitors out of the market or leaving them without a real chance, then when the time is right switching policies to coerce...

smvim Absolutely agree with you on the security issues and using older apps. That's why I posted my last response to hallux and specifically asked about that aspect. I am also painfully aware of the risks in outdated software and as a rule of thumb have throughout most of the time I owned...

hallux I see. That sounds as if there is no other way than trying each of those app versions out, starting from lowest to highest and in consecutive order to see what works. One more question..., what about security holes in the older versions? Is there a way to see the details of possible...

Thanks to all four of you who took the time and effort to answer me. Much appreciated. I'll stick with the site that mustang7757 suggested in his reply. If you guys have had positive experiences over the years and can vouch for it, I got no problem downloading apps from there. Hallux, your...

I am increasingly tired of the newer versions of a particular Google app that is - amongst others - used for viewing 'small clips' of all kinds of content (***cough cough***). So my intent is to install an older version of said app without all the nuisances that have been added to it throughout...

Hi again! Did you already have the opportunity to try this out at your home? My friends are all afraid of coming over right now due to the virus since all their girlfriends are pregnant at the moment (bad timing, I guess). :D Looking forward to your reply.

Yeah, the phone would have to be constantly charged. Agree. I was more thinking about the wear and tear on the battery in the long run by using it that way and in that kind of setup. As for instance the 'cycles' thingy. Do you know or have any experience with what the shorter life expectancy for...
