Just switched from the V20 to note 8. I just found out last night while I was trying to mirror an Amazon show from my phone to my TV through the Chromecast that apparently the Note 8 is not optimized. Also tried it with Netflix just to make sure it wasn't an isolated thing with Amazon. Does anyone know a workaround for this. Generally not an issue because I use Showbox or one box for most of my shows.

I read somewhere that Amazon video isn't compatible with Chromecast. I believe there is a workaround by watching in a browser and casting the browser to the TV. I haven't tried it myself.
I have no issues with casting YouTube, but haven't tried anything else.

That's true it isn't compatible with Chromecast. However on other devices such as my v20. I could open up the Chromecast app select mirror screen to TV. And I can play Amazon movie or show on my phone and it would mirror it to the TV it wasn't ideal cuz there was some lag sometimes. But with the Note 8 it just puts up a black screen with sound will also do the same thing with Netflix so it's more than just the Amazon issue

Hope I clarified that so it makes more sense

I wonder if it's at&t blocking it. Direct TV app will do the same thing if you try to watch it that way.
Hooked my daughter's phone to her TV at college and she can't watch Direct that way. Found out AT&T blocks it.

I use HDMI with Samsung's connector. They have an over rhe air device but reviews are mixed. I will eventually get it to see. But hdmi works flawless. I get to use my plasma as a big screen the type & images are super crisp. I put my tablet on a tripod and use the touch screen as a remote controller.
I have the Allshare Cast Dongle and it goes fine. I use it with my N8000, S4 and Note 2.

Chromecast only works with certain apps. It's not a true miracast.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromecast
I bought a cheap rockchip miracast dongle off aliexpress, I will do a short review when it arrives. I'm not even sure if miracast function works but at least it has dlna.
Chromecast is great for the computer as you can mirror the entire screen, but it only works with certain applications on the phone atm.

Hello,
Does someone know if it is possible to mirror my phones screen to my TV ?
Its a Samsung UE40F6400
It had WiFi, and its a smart TV.
When i duplicate screen under Display its connected, and then my TV says connection is stopped.
Running stock rom, Faux kernel 03B06
Anyone?
Same thing happens to me. I have a Sony Smart tv with miracast but I can't get my Nexus 5 or my Galaxy S3 to mirror. I'm getting frustrated.

Miracast is absolute utter garbage technology. Its seriously one of the ****tiest standards ever to grace mobile computing, mostly because there just is no standard. It can work with one device and then not work with another, even though everything is miracast enabled. Its probably not worth your time trying to figure out, because even when you do its frustratingly awful sometimes. I got it working finally on my nexus 4 and 7, but even when the phone or tablet was within a foot of the damn miracast receiver it would still lag and lose connection while playing video.

Its not that bad. with the latest drivers its actually pretty stable with everything I have thrown at it. note 8, yoga2, venue 8 pro, nexus 5 and gs4.
to answer the op samsung makes it so only samsung devices can mirror with their tvs. hopefully they change this soon but until then you need to buy a ptv3000 or similar.
What does it check, could it work if i change build.prop or something else?
Any developer know how to get allshare on Nexus 5?
Or how to fake my phone to connect it to the TV with wirekess display?
Still looking.
Anyone ?

My N5 miracasts perfectly with my Sony smart TV (Except sometimes it lags or freezes and I have to reconnect) but I do have to go into the specific 'Screen Mirror' input channel.
Have you tried going into the specific source for Mirroring? Not sure if this will be applicable to Samsung TV's though.

Samsung got some modified miracast that works with allshare cast for samsung devices.
Is it possible to port those apps?

I'm using the beta N on my honor 8.
When I'm using Netflix or Amazon I don't get the cast sign on the apps.
I can cast via the Google home app so the phone can detect the chrome cast then but no other way.
Is this a bug in the beta N program ?
Does anybody else have this issue ?
Or any solutions ?

This is probably due to the fact that you are using a beta of Nougat. So it doesn't have all the features yet.

I think it's just a bug in beta, I casted YouTube directly on TV (on MM)

I'm using b320, and casting works in all the ways I'm aware of, netflix, full screen, etc. I guess I'm not aware of any other way to cast. Is there some built in applet for this and if so, where is it?
NM: I see "mirrorshare" which works for me fine in nougat with only Roku, not chromecast. It doesn't sound as if it's meant to work with chromecast from reading the docs online.

What I'm taking is the cast sign that is ment to appear on the top right hand of the screen when using Netflix.
I found out that Amazon doesn't include the option to cast as it wonts u to use of fire stick but with Netflix there is the option with the other phones that I use just not this Honor 8
I'm putting it down to it being a beta.
I can cast with the Google home so I will survive.
