Cast screen - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My oneplus cannot cast to roku (it has a seemingly new beta feature of screen mirroring).
I am able to see the roku as a casting device. However, when selecting it attempts to start the casting, but stops.
My other phone nexus 5 is able to do the mirroring without issues.
It's stock oneplus, no root.)lollipop upgraded.
Any help to get screen mirroring working?

Screen Cast to TV

Has anyone found a way to screen cast? I've seen and tried a build prop edit that at least allows cast to recognize TV but won't actually allow the screen cast to "beam" the display over. I've read android took away the native functionality at some point, but my HTC 10 worked fine. Any thoughts?

I'm running stock rooted and I can cast just fine to my Sony tv or to my apple tv just by selecting it from the devices shown without any build.prop edits.

Casting works fine for me too.
Doesnt work when using an app that prohibts it like NFL app or MLB app.
Is that what you are asking to cast?
I just go to Settings->Display->Cast.
I have tried this on stock/pureNexus/rooted/unrooted.
I have a Sony TV. Runs some version on Android.
Be on the same Wi-Fi?
I don't know what else to say.

Nope, just straight up mirror my phone screen. Never had issues with it before on any phone I tried...My son's iPhone and wife's new G6 both do it. And funny you should mention NFL Mobile, that is how I watched games on the road to n a hotel, mirroring to hotel room TV.
Edit...My bust after thinking about, it was DirecTV/Sunday ticket, never tried the NFL Mobile app.
I just tried to cast the phone's screen to my Smart TV(Sony) - didn't work.
Here are the steps I take when trying to connect Pixel phone:
-Go to WiFi Direct settings on the phone
-Put TV in screen mirror mode(input)
-TV's name/model appears on the pixel phone
-Tapping on the above name/model, just says "Invited"
-On TV's screen, under devices nothing comes up
-If I go to settings>display>cast on the pixel, there is nothing in the list. On Nexus 7 I was able to select "enable wireless display" in the menu.
I took the same steps in the past with my Nexus 7 (2013) tablet and it works properly. As a matter of fact I still have my tablet and tested just now - works fine. I believe Pixel either missing the feature or has a support for a different mirroring mode which my TV isn't compatible with. I do know that my TV works with Miracast.
I just found this tread...which seems to point out that Google possibly removed the feature.

Why don't I have a 'Cast Screen' (Screen Mirroring) option in my Android M6.1?

I recently bought a non-branded Android M Phone with a STOCK Marshmallow. I can't find an option to cast or mirror screen to TV, although I've used my Android L5.1 to mirror the screen to my Samsung Series 5 Smart TV for a while. My questions are, do all android M phones miss the screen mirroring feature? Or just my phone's developer didn't build screen mirroring in the stock ROM? Can I somehow cast my screen to my Samsung Smart TV by another app or something?

It's not a "standard" feature for all marshmallow devices.
Try some of these apps. If your hardware doesn't support mirroring then you won't be able to do it no matter what you do.

Screen Mirroring
I did use the first app that you provided in the link. It seems to work but my TV says unable to connect. (And my phone supports Screen Mirroring too). I think it's a problem of settings. How would i configure in for connecting it to my TV?

Cast Netflix to another Android Device

We're getting ready for a significant road trip (approx 4500 miles over 14 days) with the 2 kiddos. We're looking to use my LG Gpad X8.3 tablet for my kids to watch movies and TV shows in the car. I figure it would be easier to cast videos from the Netflix app on my wife's phone to the tablet, like a Chromecast, so she can control it from the front seat. However, I can't figure out how to cast shows from Netflix to another Android device without casting the entire screen. I have the Cast Receiver app installed on the tablet, which Google Home recognizes as a "Chromecast", but the Netflix app doesn't recognize it. Any suggestions on other ways to accomplish this?
The tablet is rooted and running Android 5.0.1, FWIW.

Cast Screen On Nexus 5 ( Amazon FireStick)

Hi Everyone.

Starts connecting and then disconnects.
Need help

Does anyone else have issues with screen mirroring on the 7 Pro?

Hey everyone, can you test your screen mirroring feature on your phone and tell me if it works? I can't find many bug reports about it. For me it doesn't work.
My OnePlus 6 can presently cast the screen directly to my Roku stick and Roku TV without any issues.
I bought a 7 Pro (Oxygen OS 9.5.3 GM21AA) and enabled "wireless display" and this is what happens:
- I select Cast from the drop-down notification bar
- It searches forever without finding anything
- I click Settings
- It finally finds and shows me my available Roku device (or any TV that has screen mirroring)
- I select the one I want
- It says connecting
- instead of connecting, the list of eligible devices, including the one I am connecting to goes blank
- The list gets reset and nothing is connecting
Any attempt to try again, after I reset my phone, restarted my modem and my WiFi etc gives me the same situation.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I hate when older devices work great and newer ones don't. Both are running Android 9.
No? Just me? Lol
Hi, for me it works. Chromecast, shield tv, google home or integrated cast.
BUT, there is an issue with the resolution, my tv is 1080p, source too, but I have black margins around..
@cainman
1. You must have WIFI enable to be able to use Screen Mirroring.
2. Go to Cast setting and tap the 3dots and enable it.
Been Mirroring my device my device since day 1 without problems.
