Hi guys!
I have Chromecast Audio and I have a problem where I cannot find it using my phone, neither via Google Home app or Spotify app. It doesn't show up UNTIL I restart my phone, then it works perfectly. I just need to restart my phone, not my router neither the Chromecast device.
When I do this I can use it normally, but then after a few hours after stop using it, the problem start happening again, until I restart my phone again for it to work.
I believe Chromecast Audio uses a hidden app for locating the device, and my Samsung phone is possibly forcing this app to "hibernate" after a few time idle, until I restart it.
Any clues how to fix this?
Thanks,
Paulo.

Have seen this with Samsung phones ... Instead of a reboot , try turning your phones wifi off , then back on, and see if that works. Sadly I don't have a solution for you as I use a pixel phone, but if flipping the wifi works that may give you a better clue as to what the issue is!

Thanks Ashepherdson!
I did not try that before and it worked!
So simple, and I didn't think of it. Thanks a lot.
Happy new year!
