Chromecast Guest Mode and hidden netorks not working on LG G3

Hi,

I have a LG G3 phone. I'm trying to use Guest mode but it doesn't work. Simply, the Cast icon does not appear in any app. Normal cast (when connected to the wifi network) works.

BEFORE YOU ASK
1) I tried everything the FAQ and the Troubleshooting said, including Factory reset, reboot, wifi and data settings
2) It's not only my problem. Other people with G3/G4 have the same problem:

3) I investigated and found out this in not Chromecast bug but phone bug. In fact, Chromecast creates two wifi networks with hidden SSID which work as a beacon for the phone. You can't see them in wifi network list, but if you download wifi analyzer you can see them (I saw them with a Samsung Galaxy S4) with SSID '?', which means no SSID, and the MAC address following. Well, I installed wifi analyzer on the G3 and they don't appear in the list.So this means that LG G3 and G4 can't see networks with hidden SSID (whereas all other phones can), and this is the cause of the problem. The bug is several months old. Has anybody got a solution/suggestion?

MT2L03 Carbon 5.1.1 Multiple user (Guest)

I got Carbon successfully installed and love it! But one thing I miss is how easy it is to stop users from browsing my private data when I hand my phone over to them (Emui Privacy Protection, google (in quotes) Hide Your Contact, Album and App)
I figure with Carbon the closest equivalent is the guest account?
If it isn't, please clue me in, but if it is, my phone is limited to one user account when I can't force fw.max_users=4 to stick.
pm get-max-users keeps going back to 1 after every reboot.

Does anyone know of an alternative locking functionality to that emui awesomeness I had before? Or is there a way to make guest work?

Sorry to make y'all google above, I'm a newbie and am not allowed to add url's to this post :)
