Hello! The old version of the cast panel was installed on the phone and I accidentally deleted it. I have not been able to update the panel for a long time because the cast is no longer supported on phones. Now I am completely left without a panel on the phone !!! It is impossible to bypass the restrictions of the Android system on installation from unknown sources. Developers, what is the problem with giving users the opportunity to decide for themselves whether to use the panel or not ??? I specially repaired the old Redmi Note 8T for use as a stationary panel. On the new Roko M6 Pro phone, the latest version of the cast panel was installed without problems. What is the problem ??? Please return support for all phone models, it is not difficult !!!
I doubt they would do that.
If so, then it is very sad and incomprehensible!!! They made the application “camera” for using old unnecessary phones, brought them back to life. But they do not want to do the same for cast support. For some, it will be much cheaper to use an old phone for cast than to use a tablet, killing its battery. A tablet is usually used for its intended purpose, and not stationary. And it will be too expensive to put a tablet in each room, which cannot be said about phones, which can accumulate quite a lot, or buying a used phone is much cheaper than buying a used tablet!!! I do not have the opportunity to use smart speakers because no brand supports the Ukrainian language, and alas, I speak English very poorly, and what can we say about children under school age. I use a tablet as a smart speaker when using the cast panel. The tablet is always unlocked and this makes it possible to control the house using your voice through Google Assistant. But there are a lot of rooms and I wanted to install old telephones permanently, but not everything is as I wanted… I hope that ewelink will take into account the wishes of the clients!!!
I agree… I also have two phones that can’t run the cast app. I also have a lot of old tablets on which I can’t use the ewelink app because they have Android below 8.1
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. The design of the CAST app is optimized for tablet-sized screens, and when installed on a phone, there may be issues with interface adaptation and device control. For this reason, we’ve limited the app’s availability based on device type in the app store.
If you would like to use the CAST service on your phone, we recommend accessing the CAST website through your browser, which won’t have these restrictions.
the web version of cast is not what is needed, it is not convenient to use and there is no screensaver with a clock. Once I saw a version of cast for a phone from one of the users, but if I am not mistaken it was made in ihost. I do not understand what is the difficulty in developing an application for a phone considering that users pay for using cast? And please, return a larger clock on the screensaver. and I already wrote that the image twitches when scrolling up and down, make the scrolling smoother. this is observed on all devices. and
