Unable to cast to SonyBravia TV

ChadHaeney — Thu, 22 Dec 2016 22:32:21 GMT

I have a Sony Bravia Android TV and ave been able to cast from my android Tablet and mobile successfully, this includong films etc.

All of a sudden this has stopped working.. It comes up on the all cast list, connects but then comes up with just a black screen no matter what I do.

Ihave tried a few different thing's but got nowhere!

Anyone have any aid to this at all?

Hi there

I am unsure on what things you have tried, so forgive me if you have done these.

First thing to try is a soft reboot of the TV - Press and hold the power button on the remote control for more than 6 seconds and the TV should reboot itself.

Also, try the following:

Goto the Google Play Store
Go into the "My Apps" section and see if there is any updates
Once updated (if needed) exit the Google Play Store, and goto the TVs Settings area
Goto Storage and Reset > Storage > Apps > Running Apps > Google Cast Receiver
Clear Cache and Clear Data

Cheers

Hi there

As the above didnt work, I guess we go back to the two basic first steps.

Ensure that your TV has the latest firmware installed
Factory reset the TV - see instructions HERE

See how that goes

Cheers

Hi.

I had the same problem for sometimes but finally today i found out that my tv was connected to my 5G wifi but my phone was connected to my my 2.4 wifi.

As soon as i put both on the same wifi.

It worked.

Check it out.

It might be the same problem like mine.

I am having the same issue since the update a few weeks ago. My phone shows my TV as an option for casting but when i select it,nothing happens!!

Is there anything i can do on the TV to get it working?

Hi! I created this account to inform others of the solution I found today.

After the most recent update to my TV, if I attempted to cast from my android phone (tv showed up as a device to cast to) nothing would happen. I could press the cast button and instead of it connecting, it would seem as though the button was doing nothing at all.

Solution:

On the supplied IR remote control, press the HOME button.
Select Settings.
Under the TV category, select App.
Under the App category, select System app.
Under the System app category, select Google Cast Receiver or Chromecast built-in.
Clear data
Uninstall updates

This worked for me. I hope it works for others as well. Good luck!

Nothing from Sony! However I ”rediscovered” the “cast” control in Settings…. under “Connection preferences…bluetooth, NFC” Click on that and “cast” appears! My mobile is Android and I think there was an update which moved “cast” to this new location. Anyway it works on my phone…try it

Hi life69 , what the model number of your TV? And what's the device that you're trying to cast from?
