Well I got Chromecast and was fantastic. Working fine. But I'm not happy with the Wifi data usage. It eats lot of data even if you are not casting. It uses upto 20MB-40MB per hour while idle. Dont mention when your are casting it. The strange thing is that the app(Chromecast app) don't have WiFi disconnect functionality. Well there are ways mean but I would say there are inefficient and I don't consider them helpful.
1. To select other WiFi instead of yours. Which in my case no other Wifi available.
2. To unplug the chromecast from the power line not from the TV(This still consumes Wifi data).
Is there anyone knows other app(Android or iOS) that do WiFi disconnect from chromecast.
I wounder who designed the app this way.

I've got an original Chromecast, and I've not noticed that - I just checked my router status page, and my CC isn't even connected.
I was using it 15 minutes ago took stream a video from my NAS, and used the casting app to disconnect at the end, then switched away from HDMI to AVI for the Sky box.
And currently the CC doesn't even appear as a WiFi connected device on my network...
It's possible that the newer one works very differently, but this one doesn't seem to be showing the problem.
For casting I use LocalCast, which has a "disconnect app on TV" option. What are you using?

I'm using Chrome cast[^] which I got it from local Best Buy. The app totally crap. The hardware is simple and handy. It just nonsense not to have a disconnect func. Don't make sense.

Try Localcast[^] or VideoStream Mobile[^] which Joan Murt really likes - I haven't played with it that much yet, but it transcodes on the fly, so it plays more formats than the Chromecast normally accepts.

None of them have the capability to disconnect Wifi. Thanks for the help.

Your most recent message is not showing up here. Can you see it? The one about the TV show and the identical twins.
|

Yes, I deleted it. It dealt with identical twins being brother and sister, which is technically impossible, but further Googling taught me that it can happen under very exceptional circumstances. I did hope I deleted it before anyone saw it, but you were obviously too fast for me!

Yeah but in those rare situations, would the DNA still match?
|
|

I don't see how the DNA can match 100%, if the sexes differ. However, I am not an expert in this field.

This joke is funnier in Alabama, because the rest of the country know only identical twins have the same DNA.

Good point, but didn't want to pick on them poor people in Alabama.

I understand there was some doubt around when, after a divorce, the couple were still brother and sister?

I have two - a colleague of mine who did a degree in human anatomy spent much of his degree dissecting a human corpse.
He explained to me that as humans we don't all have the same parts in the same places, telling me of how it was not rare in lab sessions of how the professor would come over to a student who was asking for help in identifying something they had found and the professor saying something like "I've not seen that before".
