Hello Gentleman, a friend and I were looking for the ability to screen mirror on the Note 5 but cannot find it, is there somewhere I'm not looking or is it disabled?
I have found a way to mirror Pictures and Videos from the gallery, but not a way to share my screen like I could on my older galaxy note devices. Thanks for your help
I take it you have a samsung tv with mirroring capabilities. If so, go under settings, and other connections.. If not get cromecast.

They screwed it up on one of the updates. To cast your screen currently go to a picture in gallery, hit share and select the screen mirroring option at the bottom. If your on a 5ghz wifi it will pass even mobile video to your TV. In my case a roku3. I just make the video go full screen on the phone. My Chromecast works like normal.

Hi. I have a Chromecast at home which I use my nexus 7 with. I find it very annoying on my nexus 5 when I play videos the chrome cast button is always there.
Is there a way to completely remove it from my nexus 5? I never want to use Chromecast on my phone.

No I don't have it. Chromecast is built into Android

No it's not. "Chromecast" is a separate app for Android in the Play Store. Some other apps also support it (have it "built in") natively like YouTube but the Android OS itself/on its own, does not.

So why do we have the 'Cast Screen' option in the quick settings if it's not built into the OS?

Point taken, however, that is just (device) screen mirroring which was, up to and including KitKat, still "in beta". Now, of course, it is baked in to Lollipop but I would argue that it's not really the same as the full "casting" offered by the Chromecast support built in to Apps like Youtube or BBC iPlayer which send their stream at its native resolution and that the "Cast Screen" option in the drop down settings is a much lighter "load" on the OS than a full Cast (since it is only the device's native screen). So, why the OP feels the need to "remove it", I don't get?

1. Turn off your Chromecast
2. Get your phone off WiFi.
3.If your modem supports different bands, use default band for Chromecast, and another for your phone.
But seriously? A little button is that much of an annoyance?
Hello, I was looking to cast some of my games to my Chromecast as I can on my Nexus 7 and realized that the Chromecast app doesn't allow this on our phone. However, r3pwn has created an app that allows our Note 4 to screencast.
You will need root, the Chromecast app and the apk from r3pwn. I did not have to enable the Force-Close Fix or edit the system file mentioned for TouchWiz in r3pwn's thread (I couldn't even find that file on my device).
I have tested it on my DE and it works just as well as my Nexus 7 from the Chromecast app. However, I have not been able to get the QuickSettings Mirror option to work. It scans for devices but finds nothing. If I open the Chromecast app it finds my Chromecast right away and gives me the option to cast my screen.
Please be sure to thank r3pwn when you go to download this.

Chromecast does allow it. I've done this plenty of times. You may need to update your chromecast app...

Hi all hope someone can help me with my problem. I have recently purchased a note 12.2 and I'm having some problems with screen mirroring. I also have a note 3 phone and wife has a s4 but neither of these have this problem. At first it wouldn't mirror at all! I looked around on the Internet and found some advice to uninstall all share cast dingle update. I did this and it allowed my Samsung 2013 smart tv to mirror the tablet. But i like to use a app called showbox, and on my phone whilst streaming a film on showbox i can press the icon in the top left of the screen to mirror the film i am watching. I would like to do this for two reasons.
1 its easier and quicker
2 whilst in screen mirror mode and not sending the film through pressing the icon on the top left of the screen. I can only access two screen modes. Standard and entertain. Where as using the other method i can access all screen modes including movie mode which is what i have calibrated to use.
How this is clear and any help would be appreciated.

If you are rooted, you can edit /system/build.prop file with any root file manager/text editor and add a line at the bootom
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
I don't know how Showbox will behave but it does fix screen mirroring problems.
Only for root.

If I understand correctly you seem to have a DLNA discovery problem rather than a Screen Mirroring problem (or maybe both)
Every now and then I also have problems with the Samsung video app discovering my TV. Some times it is a problem of the router as I and others have found out. In my router I have to disable an option called "Enable UPNP on the Network" and the UPNP connectivity on my home WiFi network works correctly.
I suggest you try the following:
Check your router, if there is a UPNP/DLNA option disable it.
Check if you can share videos with the built in DLNA server (it's in Settings at the bottom of the first tab)
Check a free app call "Pixel Media Server" on Google Play, it is reliable, I use it often with my Samsung 2013 Smart TV, and it also streams subtitles to TV without transcoding.
Hello XDA Experts
I recently bought google chromecast as i was super excited about it. Its really good. It would have been excellent if the app was updated with cast screen capability for Sansung Galaxy S4 Mini. I was bit disappointed but with a hope that google keeps updating apps to keep its customers happy. I recently read in your forum that we can enable native screen casting using mirror enabler apk. I tried the following
1) Make my device root capable
2) Installed Mirror-Enabler APK
3) Installed SQL Lite root
after setting up with the above i tried cast screen option in chromecast app but it didnt work. I keep getting "casting screen to chromecast has ended" message . Screen casting works for say 5 to 10 secs max then i get the above message.
Please help experts.
Would the allshare fix from the gt-i9300 work any?

Hello everybody,
I have bought new MATE 9 and i have discovered problem to connect it to my TV Philips 55PUS7181 via mirrorshare.
Both devices are connected to the same wi-fi, also googlecast function with youtube is working, but I cant connect it together via mirrorshare, that I can see mobile desktop on the TV.
It started to look for aviable devices, but my TV is not visible there. I have also tried to install some aplication from Google store for desktop sharing and there it is working, but connection is not stabil, for example video playing ist clicking.
I tried to ask Philips and Huawei customer service, but without answer.
Im really angry because I bought a phone for 700 Eur and i cant use it for sharing !
Has somebody the similar problem or can somebody help me ?
thanks a lot.

What exactly are you trying to Mirror? Videos to play from your phone or watch movies? Or are you trying to just show your screen to show pictures, etc? If it's videos, download Bubble UPnP. It works very well for casting. Click on the left pull down arrow where it shows Local Renderer and select your Phillips TV as default. Then try playing a video to cast.
I have same problem with Sony TV. 4k video have problem. Pictures show only black screen. Mirror screen when working not show in horizontal orientation. On my another phone Nubia Z11 works everything. Mate 9 very bad experience.

Yes it is Android smart TV Philips 55PUS7181.
Have the same problem with Sony Android Tv, using MirrorShare option from taskbar
Even if your Android TV says there are no updates available try opening the PlayStore and searching for 'Google Cast Receiver'. I did and sure enough there was an updated version.
This might be totally unrelated to your problem but it did fix some issues I was having casting from my Mate 9 to a brand new Sony Android TV.

Mate 9 definitely works with Chromecast protocol so if TV works with Android TV it should work
I have the same issue with a Philips 55PUS6561/12 TV and with a Huawei P9 phone. Youtube's Cast for example works perfectly fine, but the phone's Mirrorshare function cannot find my TV. Has anyone found a solution to this?
