Does the mirror cast only work with Sony TV?? - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

I unlocked my bootloader n rooted n my TV is a TLC. It shows that is trying to connect then out of nowhere it stops and Sony keeps saying it keeps trying to connect does root n unlock boot loader have anything to do with this or do u need a Sony phone???? My TV has miracast n TV mirroring my LG v10 used to work perfectly with my tv

Nougat broke this feature in virtually all phones, before I got my Xperia XZ I had a 5x and it was broke on it as well as soon as 7.0 came out. it was probably a push from google to get people to buy the chromecast. here is a guide on how to fix this and it works still in 7.1.1 on latest XZ fw.

I bought mine a week back & been trying to get it up & running. It did work upon the first time. But after that I unpaired & never been able to get it to talk to my phone again. Contacted Sony Support but they said Micromax is an unsupported device.
Its really ridiculous. Why would a watch need a phone just to show time. Well I understand that the communication apps need a sync with the phone. But totally dissappointing to say a this was a smart watch.

Sony Moves Towards Non-z Series for the L update roll out... :P

Sony announced that the Non Z Mid range phones T2 Ultra and C3 will be getting the lollipop update officially soon... Though they said earlier that the update will be only available to the Z series... Sony is unpredictable, And as we all know that Our beloved Xperia E3 was released after both the devices... And has good configuration as both the devices... So chances are that maybe Sony will release Lollipop sooner or later for the owners of M2, E3 and other mid-range devices running Kitkat...

if official lollyopop came then freexperia AOSP will soon become stable cuz they can use official lollyopop to learn.
and porting it to non LTE devices will become super easier.
I like UI of xperia lollypop.
It look,s really cool and also it gives good battery/performance improvement.

Ya Same here... If official comes out then I'm not gonna use AOSP or CM coz it looks so familiar to other devices... xperia has it's own unique UI... I'm looking forward to better battery performance...

Hey have you used screen mirroring in your phone to LCD TV?? Like DLNA device such as Miracast or Chromecast? Does E3 support DLNA screen mirroring??? I have used it for playing audio and video on LCD TV but I was hoping that I could get the phone's screen on TV wireless... And also which type of TV out does it support?? MHL?

I agree here for not using aosp 5.x.x and cm12. biggest reason for not using aosp 5.x.x and cm12 should be it removes sony,s tweek,s which will cause loosing camera quality (mostly at dark places) loosing audio quality (mostly at outdoor) loosing battery life (mostly at a place with too much light or gaming)
So better use official lollypop. i love xperia UI it,s 10x better than kitkat UI.

i used to play games/movies on my sony bravia LED tv using mirroring on my xperia E3 dual.
and that feature is hidden someware in setting,s NEVER FOUND WERE.
I used an app from playstore which directly open mirroring setting. i forgot name of app but if you only want to play videos then use [imediashare] app if you want to mirror screen then search for app. hope you find it. i don,t use mirroring often so i removed app long time ago. app was so small maby 10 to 100 kb(it uses miracast and dlna i think so).

Hi,
And the root come with him ?

Camera interface not as it should be

hi guys,
i just purchased a dual sim sony Z5, model #E6683, its a chinese variant. everything is fine except for the camera interface, its not like how its suppoosed to be, there is no manual mode options or anything that sort which the Z5 should carry, if any of you can share the proper camera APK and guide me how to install it without rooting, that would be great help.
thanx a million
Screenshot what you have so. We can see

This is known. All Z5s and Z5 Duals are shipping currently with Camera 1.0 App. They have yet to update to their newest app (which they demo'd at the release). They expect it to roll out sometime in Nov 2015, if not with the android 6.0 marshmallow update.

Does the S8/S8+ have MirrorLink?

This is important to me. I have a Mercedes Benz CLA45 AMG and am frustrated MirrorLink would never work with my HTC 10. I have read that MirrorLink is really picky on the version being ran on the phone vs what is on the vehicle but it is a PIA to even troubleshoot. Hoping the issue is with connectivity is my current device and am anxious to move to the S8+. That will be one of the first things I test. I'll report back to see if any one updates. I believe TMobile devices may land a day or so early.

But I havent seen anyone confirming this

NICE
Mostly google maps and spotify
And thanks for getting back with it
I wish my cars had it ('15 pathfinder, '15 corvette and '14 ML350) Wouldn't mind sending the image to my screen.
Had the Galaxy S8 for a few days now and to my surprise, I can confirm that it does have MirrorLink! I bought it thinking it didn't.
My car has a Sony XAV-602BT double-din headunit so I will try this out shortly and report back!
Yeah it does have, here's even screenshot of function
Bad news...
So I tried my Galaxy S8 on my Sony XAX-602BT and MirrorLink does not work
My head unit flickers for a split second as if it's about to work and then nothing. The headunit just says to connect a supported device. I've tried numerous ways of connecting it with different cables, switching the headunit of then connecting and vice versa but same result. The S8 registers as being connected via MirrorLink though.
It's not an issue with the headunit as this works with my two previous phones, my Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z albeit a buggy experience.
I've done some research and it seems to be because MirrorLink 1.1 only letting you use certain apps which have the right certificates.... Problem is, there are hardly any useful MirrorLink certified apps since it's such a niche thing to have!
On my two previous phones MirrorLink would work but it would just mirror whatever is on the screen which was useful when it actually worked... I've always found MirrorLink to be buggy at best: constant disconnects, overheating phone, audio drops, battery not charging, screen freezing etc.
My advice: If you want the S8 or the S8+ then go for it as they are amazing phones. Upgrade your headunit to one that supports Android Auto as that does work reliably and will have much more support than MirrorLink since Google are backing it.
Did anyone try the LG mirrorlink app with S8? I can't get it to work because it recognizes the samsung phone.
It was fine on S7 and it offers full screen mirroring even when driving.
Samsung Galaxy S8 + Suzuki Vitara with Mirrorlink, it does work. You need to have mirrorlink compatible apps installed.

Yes!
In galaxy app store you have Samsung car mode, check if your car is compatible.

Hi, somebody found the solution ?
I've the same matter. Mirrorlink confirm that my S8 and my car Volkswagen are compatible but I'm not able to link my S8 to my VW !?
Android auto was installed on my cell.
Mirrorlink does not work on rooted devices

No matter now !
Hi,
My matter between my Galaxy S8 and my car with Mirrolink is now ok
I just use another cable....
I don't know why. I know with Apple if you have a cable from another brand, you should have some matter. But with Samsung, I'm very surprise !
Thanks all
