Basically, I'm trying to play Netflix on my phone and send it to my TV without Wifi. I have a Chromebook I could stream from but my phone gets a certain amount of Netflix data for free (and the mobile network doesn't know it's Netflix data if I'm just using a hotspot). I have been trying to get a Chromecast to function without WiFi - in the end we did manage to trick a Pixel phone into it by setting a mobile hotspot and searching for that hotspot on Google Home to connect the Chromecast. The same trick did not work with my phone (Nokia 6.1). I wondered if this is due to certain changes to the Android OS that Nokia has made. We also tried a Wifi router with no internet connection, wondering if the devices would connect just through that, but nope, needs a full wifi connection including internet.So NEXT we tried a USB-C to HDMI cable and that didn't work either. Like nothing happened at all. Any ideas? I could just get Wifi but where I am at the moment I have plenty of mobile data so I'd rather use that.
