If you have a Google Chromecast at home, you may be presenting failures such as freezing, sudden blackouts, black screens … any of those problems is not due to a team malfunction, but Google’s latest update is causing a series of unexpected inconveniences in chromecasts.
The complicated thing is that the failures are not fixed with simple reset, erasing the cache memory of the device or restorating it from the factory, but that you must apply very specific solutions to get rid of this problem. Therefore, if your Chromecast is experiencing difficulties or wants to be prevented before any unforeseen event, in this article we will explain what you should do.
What to do if your Chromecast is failing?
The simplest and most effective solution you can apply consists of manually configuring the time of your Android mobile. Thanks to this simple procedure, when the smartphone is paired with the Chromecast, it will return to normal. The steps to follow are the following:
– Enter the “configuration” section of your Android phone. Once inside, move down and press the “system” option.
– The system menu will open, select “date and time.”
– Disagree the “Automatic Date and Time Date” switch and establishes any date prior to March 9, 2025. This will prevent Chromecast from working with the new Google update that was launched on March 9 and the problems will disappear.
– Now, connect your chromecast to television, turn it on, enter the Google Home app and look for a new device. Follow the steps that will be on the screen to connect the chromecast to the Wi-Fi network.
-When the chromecast is connected to the Wi-Fi, you can now activate the automatic date and time of your smartphone.

– Arrived at this point, squeezes the confirmation icon that is in the lower right angle.
– Lower the cursor and activate the “omit the authentication of the device” option. With this you will prevent Chromecast from identifying at the time of sending content from your mobile, preventing Google certificate and problematic update.
