Anyboddy using it? Is there any lag in displaying content on tv?
I'm using Chromecast, it works flawlessly.
And it's cheap.
S5 + chromecast = great combo
Make sure you not connecting to any router at the same time because when miracast connects it also connects to the nearest wifi hotspot you have saved and that will cause serious lag and picture breakup on hd videos.
Yeah, i would HIGHLY suggest not doing MIracast. I tried for +1 years trying to get it to work. BLUF: if you have a rooted device, good luck. I don't see the benefit of Miracast now that Chromecast supports screen mirroring (which works flawlessly). IMO.

Is there anything special you had to do to make your S5 work with the Chromecast? I can't get the mirror option (or whatever it says) to show up in my Chromecast app. I have an S5 Active.

No, mine worked right out of the box which was surprising since I have a custom ROM and kernel.

At least I know now it's possible. Maybe I can trick Google into thinking I have an S5. Thanks for getting back to me so fast.

I've used this app Smart IR Remote on my phone to control different TV's, fans, A/C's without an issue.
Are you getting any error messages? Anything else we can use or know to help figure out your issue?

No errors & I just tried that and no luck. It's a Vizio TV which I'm testing on. I've tried on another Vizio TV and a Samsung one with no luck too. I know it works or at least worked on the Samsung TV but now it's not working at all on my Vizio TV and I doubt even the Samsung one. (havent tried samsung again yet) Also I put my S4 and M8 beside each other and tried using the same app to turn on my TV and where the M8 failed multiple times the S4 turned it on within half a second first try. I even took off my Otterbox case to try and see if it was somehow blocking it and it still wouldn't work. Could this be some sort of hardware problem or could it be software?

From what I've read, the IR port is the power button too. So make sure you are pointing that end at the tv. That Otterbox is quite bulky, so make sure the power button area flap is up while trying remotes out.
I don't think it would be a hardware issue if you are able to use the stock tv app to control the tv.
What ROM are you using?

I know and I did, still wouldn't work. I'm also having an issue getting 4G in areas where my friends can get it and their using Verizon too so maybe i have some type of firmware issue and I need to flash a stock RUU as suggested in my thread about that. I'll edit this or post again with the results whenever I try it.

Oops, I didn't see that you had a custom Rom. I'm guessing software issue now.
I'm also facing the same issue with Sprint m8, but my wife verizon m8 works with other apps too , I'm on stock ruu , not rooted, no s off , basically I'm on lollipop without any modification .

You need to also install the chromecast app from play store. What version is google play services on your g3?
Im using an unoffical liquidsmooth rom for my DD and chromecast works but it doesnt mirror butif i switch to the International rom everything works YouTube Netflixs screen mirroring.
Id love to get a fix for the mirroring and camera.
If you are running ART instead of Dalvik runtime it will just keep disconnecting everytime your try to cast the screen.
You have to run Dalvik in order for it to work.
I have a s7 which I use screen mirror to show my phone on my Samsung smart tv. (For reference before you ask tv has no Internet and phones got unlimited data) I mirror my screen with you tube and other video services, two weekends ago I mirrored netflix and watch 2 movies. This weekend when I connect with netflix running it just connects and then disconnects. If I connect then open netflix, as soon as it opens the screen goes black and disconnects. I tried netflix support and they was unhelpful. I also connected my TV and downloaded a firmware update, thinking that was a issue. Phones up to date and all involved devices are up to date.
I wonder about copyright issues with digital media, can't mirror to second screen for recording. I asked netflix, of course he said no. However I don't think he understood what I was asking. Props to him for doing his job, however I needed someone with knowledge of their software.
I also just tried it from my asus tablet and same issue. So multiple devices and same issue, comon item is the tv. I performed a factory reset on my TV and no resolve and updated firmware version.
Like I said before it worked 2 weeks ago, now it doesn't. However youtube, fullscrean, directv, and Hulu all work just fine.
Any suggestions?
Same problem here. I found your post because I am trying to resolve. It seems to be a problem with Netflix, since it's the only app that forces the screen mirroring to close. I hope someone has an answer soon. I just got really hooked on watching Netflix again since we've been able to download their shows and watch later. I don't have internet at home, but can download over wifi at work. Come on, guys! Help us out.

I know I'm on a trial of netflix, however I don't see a use in keeping it... a 5in screen if I can't share to my 70in. Phones to small and tablet isn't much better.
Any one got a idea, come on people need assistance here...
My netflix works fine streaming from both my S7 and my HTC 10, difference is it's a Panasonic Tv. Samsung TV's are a PITA i've found and I struggled to screen cast to two different Samsung TV's with my S7.
Not what you want to hear i'm sure.
I understand what your saying but how come all works until Netflix is open. Once the loading N appears it disconnects and won't reconnect until I close the Netflix app. I will make a video of it tomorrow. I'll also try to track down someone with a smart TV to try theirs.
Same problem here..any info would be greatly appreciated...Hulu direct tv everything else works fine except for netflix..some days it will work most days no luck..my tv is a sharp roku tv and it worked fine until late recently

I understand what he's saying about a Samsung TV, but you got a sharp. Also it's multiple devices and only one single app that's common having the issue. Directv, vudu and full screen works fine, so does youtube.
the cheap is you buy some cheap wireless router and sync with your samsung s7 or make wifi hotspot from your samsung s7 and then connect your smart tv. but remember maybe when you share screen this share send data to samsung and all share that you see it can see samsung too. yestarday i share samsung s7 with my smart tv and when i block the smart tv program it didnt work, so maybe it when you unblock the screen sharing it send all what you see with samsung, and man be carefull becouse when you netflix screen share maybe it record what you screen share, this too do it teamviewer, you screen share with teamviewer but after that teamviewer can see all what you had screen share, and if you ask teamviewer to stop record your screenshare they will lie like obama.

What about sharing from my Asus tablet, also tv doesn't have Internet. Only the Asus and s7, they connect to the TV via direct WiFi connection.
if your tablet support make wifi virtual router then it will work. im glad that your tc donr have internet becouse you pay much money and they spy on peoples and i kust remember if you have laptop then it too can make virtual router, you need to see in windows and in linux.

Has anyone had any success? This seems like a failing issue to get resolved. There has to be some one there smart, I'm a 13 year network administrator and I've hit a snag. I see multiple people with issues, yet no resolution.

Haha brain fart.... I totalled missed the pita... I got it...
Just a thought but is it looking for your TV & phone to be connected to the same WiFi network (through a router) rather than using WiFi Direct? Just a distinction I found when pairing my account with an app eg. Waukitv.

Unless the hardware is relying on it, I don't think so. The only Netflix setting is a selection of internet speed. The purpose of Wi-Fi direct is a private direct connection. Also just got the Android N update and still no difference... Also wow it changed the looks of my phone. Especially the settings window. :laugh:
I am having the same exact problem. I have a pretty for signal 4G 2 bars, but I still can watch other things using screen mirroring...just not netflix...which is the only one I really wanted to watch. Any luck at all, anyone?

No it's been several weeks, I'm seeing same issue with multiple devices and tv's across the board.
Hopefully someone can give us a solution, I plan on calling Netflix tomorrow and trying to talk to a developer.

I really hope they have an answer for you. I called the general line on Sunday...got pushed to Verizon...then to Samsung...they all say it is the other ones problem....I am betting on Netflix. Keep us in the loop.
I called Netflix and didn't stop pushing until I made it to a engineer, the only screen mirror software they support is second screen and google cast. Other may work but are found to be unstable and unreliable. I will follow up once I've had a chance to test with my results.
Ordered a new Roku stick and realized that the LG V10 will not allow me to mirror my phone to my TV. Do I need to get a chromecast or is there a way to get around this issue?
Roku apparently wont mirror with Android deviced on 4.0 or later. Come on...
I used to cast to my SmartTV all the time before my V10 bootlooped. There seems to be no first-party way to do it, but I just downloaded Miracast and streamed to my SmartTV (and my parent's Roku) just fine.

Kind of late to this since I'm looking around this forum. Did you ever get this resolved? I have always been able to stream directly by enabling Miracast in the LG Share & Connect setting.

No but I now have a Galaxy S8+ and its spotty at best.
I just got a Pixel, and I'm ready to sell it if no roms support Miracast. Chromecast is not an option - I need a phone that works with the Miracast standard. I have tried to mirror to a LG TV as well as trying two Miracast adapters (Microsoft and generic models). None have worked.
On both the Nougat and Oreo factory images, Rooting and editing build.prop did not work. The adapters/TV are visible, but the connection always fails.
Before the phone goes on Swappa, has anyone had success using Miracast with any rom. I searched, but the only results are those of people asking the same question as me.
Thanks for any info...

I have great news - I was able to get Miracast screen mirroring to work using the CRDroid rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/rom-crdroidv3-2-t3607271?nocache=1). You still need to edit build.prop (add the line persist.debug.wfd.enable=1) and turn on wifi. After reboot, the phone immediately found the TV / adapter, and connected. I was able to mirror my screen, view pics, and a video. Another plus is that this particular rom is incredibly smooth and fast - even more than stock Oreo.
I'm glad I don't have to sell the phone now. Hope this info helps others with this question.

I just got the Pixel 2 XL, but same issue. Have not rooted my phone yet, or any phone actually, but I am willing if this will allow Miracast. Do you think it should work for me? Wifi is not an option so Chromecast is out and Pixel/Pixel 2 don't support hardwired options. What do you think?

This is great news! I always had thought it was hardware driven, but fantastic to hear that software was able to enable it. I wonder if @BeansTown106 knows about it? I believe he is currently compiling the next PureNexus Rom based on Oreo 8.0. Would LOVE to see this feature added in the next revision.

I just got Miracast working with "crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180405-marlin-v4.1" for the Pixel XL. I just went into settings - connected devices - cast - then hit the three dots in the upper right hand corner to 'enable cast'. then on my Fire Stick I started device mirroring. Bingo! Fire Stick shows up as connected. Works with VLC and Youtube testing so far. Sound and video. Rotation of phone to horizontal creates full screen (55" TV) mode. I have magisk 16* installed but there are no settings I used in that app for this to work, just wanted it noted as it is the only none stock app installed so far.
Linuxmon
UPDATE: Didn't notice I was in Pixel not Pixel XL forum. Hopefully sailfish works as well.
Web video caster works well for me on all ROMs and I'm using firehound ROM atm, just make sure you turn battery optimisation off for this app and adjust your setting's to your needs. I've tried many casting apps and this one seems to be the most stable best one I've found. See below where you may need to tick boxes to suit your TV/miracast needs. Also make sure you have no other apps running, only this one and that your on same WiFi network too as well other device on same network. Hope this helps
