- How to connect your phone using only one phone with hotspot on. I named my wifi hotspot the exact same name (and password) as my wifi router. I believe you have to initially set this up with either wifi available or two phones with one hotspot on. After the initial setup it will work every time without the second phone or wifi. The video shows us starting out using WiFi, but that was for clarity only.
I believe also that the Chromecast wants to go to its original wifi source if it is available. I had to shut my wifi off to get Chromecast to connect to my hotspot at home. Outside of my home it starts up using hotspot with no problem at all.
I'll try to answer questions but I'm not a super techy guy. I just know this works. Chromecast should be way easier to use than it is!

Finally, a workaround that actually works! Thanks!
You are only one solve this issue, no one solve it all over the web, thanks a lot, you are the best🌺
your solution is the only one that works after hours of searching the internet and all of the flashy tech websites, thank you so much! You are right, the secret to it working is naming your mobile hotspot the same thing and giving it the same password as your home router
Now this is what I am looking for. It worked for me using only my phone as the hotspot, and casting the same phone to the tv. No second phone as hotspot. Thank you so much. And of course, for that to happen, you need to set up the chromecast beforehand using 2 phones. One acting as the hotspot, and one having Google Home app for setting it up.
Faris Rashid what device u using bro.. ?
Do we have to do it everytime or is it just the one time. (ie. Everytime you want to cast do we need two phones initially)
@@padilakeris5855 I use my chromecast 3 with my Samsung Note 5.
@@dhodythomas Just one time for the set up. Then you can use only one phone to cast to the tv.
It did work...connected to Chromecast and watching movie from single device...
Very helpful
Really??
I tried EVERYTHING! Almost gave up, but decided to give it one final shot with your trick. And it worked, can't believe.
Sir. Legend. God. Thank you.
I haven't tried it yet but from what I see it I'll work thanks a lot man I help me out big and save me cash
Dude perfect, Thank you Boss. you are real brilliant sir. Bless you sir for not giving up.
It worked! Bless you!
But U initially started with wifi !
U litterally have to
U have to set it up on hotspot then run threw Hotspot
U can use hotspot but u have to start with 2 phones
@@jorn1577 how do you get the Chromecast to recognize the first hotspot while working with the second phone? That's where I'm confused or does the Chromecast device have to be set up with the internet first then hotspotted then you can use the other phone?
@@sabbath7081 Urr, it was some time ago. I forgot, sorry. But you van try it first with wifi and then without. I did it in a rv so i had no wifi. It worked.. I did it with 2 iphones. There is this trick that u can copy ah hotspot with Iphone. If phone is concected and has for example the name Hotspot 1 and password is 1234, copy that exactly with phone number 2. Turn of phone 1. Now it will concect with phone number 2. Thats how i did it. My problem was, how do i connect to Chromecast without wifi? First u always need to setup first with wifi, I believe. Dont know whats ur problem? Sorry for my horrendous English!
Problem solved 😎. Thanks for uploading this video 👍. It now works great on my Samsung A20. You will need to switch on Wi-Fi sharing when you setup your mobile hotspot.
Thank you! It worked!
For those who are asking why do this when you can set it up with WiFi in the first place - this means I can use another hotspot (phone or pocket Wi-Fi) to set it up initially, then as long as the hotspot network and password, it can work once I take that second phone/pocket Wi-Fi away.
Thanks Richard. I've been browsing the web and trying different methods and you're the only solution I came to!
Works perfectly for the ultra!... just pay attention that you also use the router password in your hotspot settings😏
I dropped my console coming back drunk from my mates place last night and have no dashboard! You sir are a legend
VERY HELPFUL, THANK YOU !!
Yo!!! My dude u are the real mvp but heads up u don't gotta do all that just set the name of the network you're connecting to as your phones network and make sure your set to the right type of security (can be found in Hotspot settings) thanks so much dude!!!!
U sound like a Ninja Turtle
You sir certainly did smthng great thanks and some people at google gotto wake up and do this a one button setup for Chromecast and android phones. That's a feature needed.
Still helping people in 2021 thank you
Alright, guys. After reading all the comments, I could see the confusion. Here's what worked for me.
In order to use only one phone to cast to your tv, you need to do this:
1. Make sure you have 2 phones to set up the Google Chromecast.
2. One phone acting as the hotspot, another one is the main phone that you intend to use to cast to the tv.
3. Install Google Home app on the main phone.
4. Turn on the hotspot or mobile tethering on the second phone (not your main phone).
5. Set up your Chromecast using Google Home app on the MAIN phone.
6. When it asks you to choose your wifi network, choose the wifi hotspot from the second phone.
7. Alright, now listen carefully. This is the trick that will make this 'casting to Chromecast using only one phone' works.
You are going to trick Chromecast into thinking that you are using other wifi, but what exactly happens is that we are going to use your main phone's hotspot as the wifi and cast it to the tv using only THAT phone, no other phones involved.
8. So, this is how we do it. Go to your hotspot setting on the MAIN phone and change the hotspot name and password to the ones on the SECOND phone. They have to be exactly the same as the hotspot NAME and PASSWORD on the SECOND phone.
For example, my second phone's hotspot name is 'MyWifi', and the password is 12345678. I am going to name the hotspot on my MAIN phone exactly as 'MyWifi' and change the password to 12345678.
9. Turn off the hotspot on the second phone. You'll see that your tv says that the wifi is disconnected.
10. Now get ready for the moment of truth. Turn on the hotspot on your main phone. Wait for a few seconds, and you'll see the tv says that it is connecting to network 'MyWifi' (your wifi name).
11. Once it is connected, then from now onwards, YOU ARE GOING TO JUST NEED ONE PHONE to use with your Chromecast anywhere you go.
*The KEY of success is to copy exactly the name and password of your wifi network (mobile hotspot or router that is connected to your Chromecast).
Please note that if you reset your Chromecast, you need to do this all over again.
Good luck.
Wtf you say you are hooking up using hotspot only and what's the first God damn thing you do is go to WiFi to make sure it's on. Change the title douche bag
You explained it well good !
It took me almost 8 hrs to figure this out until I read your comment.
Thanks to you
@@BladeinJapan Glad that it worked for you. Congrats.
It worked for me as well, you are a genius!! Thank you
Does this also work with the chromecast 3?
Thanks a lot. Perfectly worked
Very clever 😁 glad we saw these instructions before we left home, to set it up. Thank you!
Why would you ever tether when you have WIFI? This serves no purpose. People that want to use a hotspot don't have WIFI. LOL
He showed this for people without Wifi. And why are you commenting this vid if you have WiFi?
@@bubasaba If they dont have wifi, how would they set it up in the first place then?
@@peterchambers6208 10.million dollar question hahah
@@bubasaba so basically the problem of him uploading this video is that he sees the other video saying that you need two phones when he can do it with just one he doesn't realize that people that are looking this video up don't have Wi-Fi
@@drago6568 'Therein lies the rub.". You're right. The people interested in this don't have two phones or a home-based WiFi connection. Not to mention the fact that a home WiFi connection makes casting redundant.
A I need more help on how u did this I have the 3rd gen Google chromecast
TAT was really helpful ..thanks dude hifi
Tnxx u saved my night!
Great, but no WIFI here, so I spend hours trying to cast either via Google Home or sometimes lucky to cast directly from TH-cam or whatever's on my phone. Chromecast version 2.
Sometimes it's instant, sometimes it takes hours, rebooting everything over and over. It has a mind of its own!!
This is only working because the Chromecast was initially set up on a Wi-Fi network. If you were to try this with a new Chromecast that had never been set up before it would not work. I appreciate the helpful intention though.
Agree with you
You would need two phones in that case. one to be the router and one to cast from. I agree it is a little misleading as a lot of people seem to want to do this with no cable or DSL router at all.
Right. Video invalid soon as it started and he shows it was hooked up to a wifi
Thank You!! Just restart the Chromecast and it Will Connect to your hotspot where er u are
How to restart chromecast?
@@jahjoeka Just restart Google Home. No need to restart ChromeCast, it will automatically look for the configured wifi SSID when plugged in.
Thank you!
So in order to use one phone without wifi you need wifi with two phones! Reeeally helpful!
Tsu 800 no , you only need one phone.
But you still need wifi.
Or hotspot on the phone
@@richardkilmer2661 This is what people are wanting to know! If all you have is just a single smartphone, nothing else, no access to wifi or a second phone, tablet, pc or tablet whatsoever, can you make a Chromecast work?
Yes. That's the point of the video.
Do you have to link chromecast & phone at least once on a wifi or a different phone's hotspot before this is allowed?
You seem like a nice man good shit
Hey, it worked, thanks a LOT! But it still doesn't solve the issue, that whole Google Home - Chromecast thing is a huge mess. How the hell they managed to make it so complex.
LOL I'm just happy Google allowed WiFi Streaming via Mobile Hotspot!
When it comes to other features of Google Home, They can be as complex or messy as they like 😂
I just bought one thinking I could basically cast to my tv. If it is using wifi off my phone (my only internet connection is via cell data) why on earth does it need _another_ connection?
Even cheap phones have a simple USB to HDMI interface (unfortunately not mine) as well as casting to most TVs..
I don't get the point of chromecast beyond it being a wireless/ HDMI interface, which it can't even manage.
I get Google wants your data but I'm already signed into my google account on my phone to use the POS. It's ridiculous.
@@user-wp5fe8ec6l I kmow
Ladies and gentlemen we just found one of the most perfect human beings. The way that you told this guy the news was the best possible way you could have said that.
You're the GOAT!!!
I will try it. Tqvm
Dude, way to think outside the box! So, in theory, if I have content saved to my phone, I should now be able to follow your directions ahead of time & take my phone & Chromecast to a hotel and stream content from my phone to my Chromecast using minimal data? I just want to make sure I don't burn up my data plan doing this if I have content already saved to my phone. Thanks for this tip!
I've been downloading movies on Netflix and prime and watching them in areas with no wifi. No problems with data limits so far.
should i set the same name and password as the modem to the hotspot and leave it like that forever?
Hi richard. First of all thanks for your video.
Just to double check: you configured everything in the with network and latter on you changed you hotspot name and password to be the same (to act like you are in the previous Wi-Fi network.
That's it?
Thank you again.
Yes, exactly. It's still working as of today.
Do you need wifi to set it up? - I don’t have Wi-Fi can I set up with just hotspot?
Thanks
My question is, since your chromecast is connected to your phone via your phone's hospot, does that consume your hotspot data as if it was providing internet data to any other device as hotspot is supposed to do? Because most of the hotspot services I know have data limits, usually 10G. Would I be using hotspot data limit on merely having my chromecast connected to my phone via hotspot?
You're right. It's not simply mirroring if it uses your hotspot data rather than regular data. I'm sure this is intentional b/c hotspot has a cap even if you have unlimited & regular data doesn't. Rip off.
I hope I can do it. Thanks.
What chromecast version are you using?
Hi, real helpful video. but when i've done all that and its connected i can't cast from the phone?
Amazing
i try and it works
Worked perfectly in my RV thank you!!!!
Thank u bro, it worked really so much thank u brother😊❤. There is another way by 2 phone, but it didn't worked.
has anyone got this working recently?have tryed everything it wont work..keep gettn asked to enter the pin but they keybord it shows dosent have letters only numbers on it
Thank you very much. It just worked brilliantly. In India we call it ultimate "Jugaad".... The thing is we need to keep the security open and name the Hotspot same as the WiFi... Thank you.🙏🙏
Its frustrating!! Mine used to connect with just my hotspot. Then one day it just stopped working. Now wont connect for months now.
So this is going to make it possible to mirror my phone to the TV at a location that has no WiFi at all. I am trying to help seniors with no internet apply for government programs and I need for them to see the government webpages.
Hi, wouldnt changing your hotspot name and password on your phone to your routers name etc...wouldnt that mean you are then connected through your router?
If you don't shut off the router, yes. I use Googlecast away from home so the router isn't with me.
How can I do it when casting to my HP laptop
Perfect, thank you!
After I did this, I was FINALLY able to Screen Cast by using Samsung Smart Things with My Hotspot Modem.
Although Smart Things prompted me to turn off My Hotspot, it actually remained connected to the Internet and the Screen Cast operated without a Glitch!
Is your tv smart tv ?
I'm using an att router and haven't had any luck.
My Hotspot is CC no luck at all.
The chromecast just doesn't see my phone . Or vice versa l don't know.😢
Do we have to do it everytime or is it just the one time. (ie. Everytime you want to cast do we need two phones initially)
You only need two phones to initially set up the ChromeCast and Google Home if you are starting from scratch and have no cable or DSL router at all. You could go to like Starbucks or McDonalds and use their free wifi I guess?
And if we don't have wifi to begin with, is the query
I can relate to the "spent hours trying to figure this out." Technology is sometimes so contrary. In my case, in 2018 the phone was never able to see the chromecast on its own hotspot. Hopefully, the updates have fixed this. I read that now phones can sense the chromecast nearby and cast even if they aren't on the same wifi network.
I'm hoping I can get my buddy's RV tv set up! Thanks for the video
You sir, are a fucking genius!!
Wow Merge, Trebuie să copiezi exact numele si parola WiFi precedent !🤘🤘🤘
DAR ATENTIE, FOLOSESTE LA FEL DE MULTE DATE CA SI CAND AI DESCARCA CONTINUT DE PE INTERNET :((
I need help if bad min just say connecting for ever and dont do anything I have the 3rd gen tho your is the 2 right
Yes mine is a second generation so I don't know if changes have been made.
To make works without Router, without Second phone, without internet i made this:
1º Connected my chromecast to router (Example: Name FelipeNet, password: 123)
2º Connect the mobile in your router
2º Updated the Chromecast and pairing with my phone
3º In my Samsung Note8 go in configuration of "Mobile hotspot" i set same name of my router, example: name: FelipeNet, password: 123.
4º Turn on mobilehotspot, and Turn off chromecast and router
5º Just turn on the chromecast and just works with my phone without router. =).
The first setup of chromecast really need one router, It can be a router with internet or a second mobile sharing via the hotspot with internet, because the device need update and make the first settings... country.. password.. email.. devices name and blablabla.
After that, you dont need more router, just plug you chromecast in anyplace, and turn ON you mobile hotspot with or without internet and voila! =D All works without router and without internet!
Tested in Chromecast Ultra, Samsung Note 8 with Android Oreo.
It says that my chromecast is connected to personal hotspot but I can’t seem to find the cast button on Netflix, is there any tips to actually solve this issue? Thanks 🙏🏼
I've been successful configuring my chromecast to my mobile hotspot when i'm home and have access to multiple devices. My problem is when i travel with the chromecast and intend to use my phones hotspot ONLY.... The moment the HOTSPOT is turned on, the CAST button disappears from all streaming apps (youtube, netflix, prime, etc). I don't want to use cast screen and sacrifice audio video quality.
It works when I gave my hotspot same ssid and password as I use on my wifi. But it doesnt seem to work with chrome audio and Spotify. You have a solution or is it Spotify that mess it up?
I use it for Netflix and Amazon prime video. I would think audio wouldn't be a problem, but I don't know since I don't use Spotify it chrome audio.
@@richardkilmer2661 I will test with Tuneradio and see if it works with chrome audio. Thanks a lot anyhow for your instruction.
Hi again! It works perfect even with Audio chromecast and Spotify. Thanks a lot for a super instruction.
@@lenovaduvan1489 please how did you do that
@@DillaLade Hi. I presume you have set up chromecast audio to your home network. Set up hotspot on your phone with the same network name as your homenetwork and change password on your hotspot on your phone to the same as your home network. Chromecast audio will then, if you shutdown your homenetwork, and instead activate hot spot on phone, find internet from your phone and you can play Spotify to chromecast audio. I hope you understand.
Can this be set up with only one phone or not ? ( you said "initially two phones can be used to set it up but after that only one is necessary) --- I'd hate to have to bite my phone and scream obscenities about losing faith in humanity again.
You can either set it up with one phone and a WiFi connection, or two phones ( one as a hotspot). After the setup is complete you will only need one phone from that point on.
Smart
Here's the deal people that have no access to Wi-Fi AT ALL.. are reading your header and thinking you are going to show them how. I cannot tell you how it feels when the first thing you do is turn on your Wi-Fi so that your Google home can detect your device. The very first step that you introduce , is the step that is impossible for anyone without Wi-Fi to do.,
My intent was to show how to set it up so it would work. Once it is set up, you no longer need wifi. I should probably redo the video with a more clear explanation.
this is for android user only. ! Iphone user R.I.P
It works that same way with iPhone except you need to name your phone the same as your wifi SSID. iPhone automatically uses your phone name as the SSID where Android allows you to name it to whatever you want.
SUCCESSFULLY mirrored phone to android TV using HotSpot from same phone and then casting from CAST under Connection Preferences Menu WITHOUT Google Home App and INTERNET ( be it from same phone - DATA, Different Phone - Mobile HotSpot, or from Home WiFi,etc, ).
But can't rem anymore how exactly I did it. I do rem watching videos from phone gallery in landscape mode for hours. So I know its possible
Here is the catch that is you cannot remember.
@@ramidaoud4323 ?
Just put your phone's hotspot name into wifi name it will connect but what im worried about is does it use any of are mobile data ??
Yes you will be using all mobile data with the hotspot on.
@@richardkilmer2661 im asking bc I have 15 g of hotspot data but using to much of my regular phone data I wounder if using this method takes from both ?🤔 since im logging on prime with my phone 🤔🤔
Pretty sure it's all phone data. 15 GB will go quite a ways for me anyway
I got it to connect to main phone but only account stuff works no browser cast
Ok I got it, it works, and thank you.
2 phones are being used
clexa the 100 fan Only one phone is being used. You can use two phones to set it up initially, but after that only one is required.
But...if someone has only one phone your title is misleading!!! Ugh...5th video today. I quit. Im taking it back.
Alaedra Barham I agree only one phone on me and I can’t seem to work this out
@@alaedra You either need a second phone with hotspot or you have to set it up on an existing wifi connection (i.e. home router) to set it up. After the ChromeCast is set up you only need one phone.
Guys this. Is. Soo complected . I really casted my Motorola Moto one power to my smart tv using hotspot. ( no Chromecast or separate device required here ) all you have to do is download apk called as air screen on your smart TV and Google home . Connect your smart tv to your phone's wifi after tht open Google home on your phone . And also open air screen on your tv. wait for the few mins and you will see the device name of your tv on your Google home jus click and wait for few mins to connect .
None of this workd for me. I am not in my home where I can use a wifi to connect to the cast initially. I am in a hotel where this would be most useful. And eithout wifi my chrome refuses to find my phone.
I was in the same boat before I set it up at my home. Sorry, but this is the only way I could get it to work. Good luck!
You can do this by using two phones. One as the hotspot and the other connected to the hotspot as the casting phone. Once the ChromeCast is set up you only need one phone to be the hotspot and cast to the ChromeCast.
I came here for help and ended up sorting it while I waited, maybe. I was connected through the wifi (all initially set up) then on the google home app I selected my chrome cast and opened its individual settings, where there was a wifi option. I turned on my hotspot, forgot the old wifi from the cast and clicked add another network from the connections list. my wifi name is just "ben" so i manually typed in the connection name and password and now I'm all set.
i'm not sure, i added another network from the google home app to connect 'wifi' too and i put in my personal hotspot name and password and it said "i'm not currently on the same wifi as my device."
for the 'security' part i tried all WPA's.
You are fuckin genius!!
Thanks for the tip I will try it today
I am having trouble connecting my phone to the chrome cast.it needs wifi in order to connect the cast
If you are able to connect using WiFi, rename your hotspot and password so that they match your WiFi router. If you cannot connect using WiFi, you have other issues going on. Good luck!
I am using my hotspot. I have a iPhone it doesn’t allow you to change the name of your hotspot. I don’t have WiFi just my hotspot that’s the problem I need another internet connection to connect to the chrom cast
My hot spot is connected to the chrome cast but my device isn’t !! So frustrating
@@Celph Go to settings/info change the name of your phone to name it the same name as the hotspot from the other phone.
@@Yoszillian So many people miss this on the iPhone. It does kind of stink your SSID must be your phone name. I like Android's option to rename your SSID something other than your phone name.
First of all you already have an actual wifi connection. Second this won't work on Android 9.0. Google chromecast doesn't connect to a phone's hotspot. I spent 2 hours trying to get my brand new chromecast to connect to my phones hotspot. I even changed my hotspot name to Chromecast. I did a factory reset on my new Chromecast It didn't work and I dont have a 2nd phone to use.
Can you borrow a smartphone from a family member or friend? I used my dads phone and it does work.
How much hot spot data does this use?
It all depends on what you are watching. Movies will obviously take a lot of data. I solve that problem by downloading movies to my phone at home with the WiFi on, then using the hotspot to watch them somewhere else.
@@richardkilmer2661 curious about casting things like Hulu, Kodi & Mobdro from my cell. I have unlimited data & 50 gb hot spot so the data usage for the apps won't matter but if it uses a ton of data to cast it's no better than using my hot spot data on my Fire stick .
@@googleuser5482 It uses a ton of data to cast a movie, especially if it is HD or 4k. I wish I knew how much data a 2 hour HD movie took to stream but I haven't figured out how to measure that without buying network monitoring equipment like wireshark.
Does chromecast ultra have wifi direct ?
My understanding is that Chromecast is designed as a controller to work with your WiFi router. As for WiFi direct, I don't believe it works that way.
@@richardkilmer2661 if you use mirascreen i dont need no internet
@@mrblack576 But you can't cast to it. The ChromeCast is for streaming media from an internet source. If you just want local media the ChromeCast is overkill.
@@119Agent is it even worth it the ultra one
@@mrblack576 Yes if you have a 4k tv. A lot of Netflix shows and movies are in 4k. When I stream via a hotspot I don't use 4k, I set Netflix to HD to save bandwidth regardless of what the TV is capable of.
O.k but you needed wifi to begin with right?
You only need a connection to initially set it up. When I moved into my new house I didn't have WiFi for a few weeks until the people came and set it up. So what I did was I had my friend come over and he turned his hotspot on. I used his hotspot to set the Chromecast up. Then I just changed my name and password to match his hotspot name and password. It worked.
The only thing I will say is that once you do it, it make take 10-15 minutes for it to start working. That's how mine was
@@corycosta1818 but if you don't have wifi and are by yourself
@@2011matty I understand. That's why I said if you had a friend who could come over and you can use their hotspot for 5 minutes.

YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS LIE.
WE DO NOT LIKE LIARS.
WE HATE THEM.
It is now connected on my iphone hotspot but i still cannot cast anything. HEEEELP
Misleading
How is this misleading?
@@richardkilmer2661 Probably calling it misleading because a lot of people want to set up a brand new ChromeCast with one phone without a cable or dsl router to set up and configure ChromeCast. They just need to use a second phone as the hotspot to allow ChromeCast to be configured. I think most people are fine doing it the way you show where the ChromeCast is initially configured at home then taken on the road. I tell people just find a McDonalds use theirs. Hotel wifi won't usually work because you have to login from the device and ChromeCast doesn't have any way of doing that.
Let's talk turkey...
1) Does the Chromecast ("CC") need to ALWAYS have internet connection (being a data hotspot or WiFi signal)?
2) Can you SETUP A CC (FROM FACTORY RESET) to cast-able using just one phone and a hotspot?
2a) Do you really need an Internet connection AT ALL to setup/use CC as a casting device?
3) Once connected to my CC, can I connect other phones to the CC and be able to use them? Be able to use different phones but not have to go through the connecting/pairing mode each time?
Google REALLY needs to explain this device better!!
Smartphone Tutor508 yes you need internet or WiFi all the time for it to function. Think of it as a remote controller for your WiFi. To my knowledge it will only connect with one phone at a time. Google has done a horrible job making this thing play well with others!
@@richardkilmer2661
I need wifi Just to cast?
I have a phone with data.
I want to cast a show into the tv for my mom.
The CC needs an internet connection just to recieve my cast????
One phone connection at a time, yes.
But PRESET phones?
Connecting them but only using one at a time.
Like keys to a door, I have 4 but I only use one key at a time.
@@smartphonetutor5086 Google CC doesn't know the difference between WiFi and hot spot. It's just a data source for it. CC is a remote telling your WiFi / hotspot what it wants to do. I wish somebody would come up with a more user friendly product. It would sell like hot cakes if they did that!
@@richardkilmer2661
If it needs an internet connection just to cast to it, I bought the wrong device.
spent hours but there is videos of this been done over a year ago!!!! LMFAO
Sir, are you aware that this is the exact opposite of what your title implies? Everyone knows this method, but some don't have wifi...WHICH YOU DO AND YOU USED to achieve this. For those with no wifi, you must initiate with a network through TWO cellphones. Look it up on YT, there are many videos explaining how to do it. This guy's video is falsely titled.
No . This is correct. You only need two phones in the beginning. Tell your friend to come over and use his hotspot to set it up. Then just change your hotspot name and password to match his exactly. It works.
Bullshit!!
Your title is misleading and pissing a lot of people off including me who've scoured the internet blogs trying to get an answer that you teased us with using the title you chose. You need WIFI or second phone as hotspot to set it up. These people don't have that option. You can not use one phone to do what you did. You are lying or just stupid. I'll walk you thru this real slowly...you can not start with one phone, use it as hotspot, and setup chromecast. You need two. Doesn't matter that you eventually get to use only one phone. That's not helpful at all. There are much easier ways to get to your end. But the people here and all over other blogs are in need of a way to this from one phone, no internet or other device, from start to finish.
You have much deeper problems than your phone or chrome cast.
@@richardkilmer2661 Get fucked. Simply stating your lies to help those looking for an answer. Jackass
