[Question Mark]

Well, the Note does indeed work with Chromecast on both a projector and a smart TV when it has an internet connection.

However, I could not get my Chromecast dongle to work without having access to the internet. Although I set my phone up as a mobile hotspot which my Note could connect to, it could not connect to the Chromecast dongle even though it could "see" it. It would keep on trying to connect, but wouldn't be able. I also tried to connect a tablet to the Chromecast using the mobile hotspot set up on my phone. Again, no go.

Although I followed the instructions given in a previous post and although I watched several videos showing that it works, I could not manage to make it happen. I wonder if Google has changed some setting requiring you to have an internet connection now for Chromecast to work...

Be that as it may, I was very underwhelmed by my experience using the Note with Chromecast when it had an internet connection. Although the cast image would show a full page, sometimes the page would not fully render on the Note. At such times, I would have to tap the A2 icon once or twice to get the page to fully render on the device. It happened often enough to make it quite annoying.

Using the stylus while in cast mode was even more frustrating. Enough so to make it virtually unusable in that capacity in any professional setting. I imagine the experience is similar to what others are reporting on using the stylus with third party apps.

Hopefully, on a second generation model, they will be able to enable Miracast and get it working effectively. At the moment, not being able to mirror the screen in real time is a tremendously lost opportunity. Still love my Note, but this just somewhat limits its versatility.
