Hello all,

Google Home App 2.9.40.16
How to cast to Sony Smart TV? I have it already defined in Google Home Application, but what are the steps for projecting the phone to TV?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
There is a shortcut "Wireless projection" in notification center.
Ofc, you need to be in the same network and your TV has to support Miracast
Solved. The trick was in the TV menus, not in my phone. Thanks for your support!

Hello, first of all.
It's been a long time since I have visited this place, so excuse me please if I missed a similar thread. I have searched for it.
My question is if it this possible to turn my old Motorola XT 720 into an Android TV box (i.e. Chromecast or similar).
I have tried CheapCast app that only crashed when opening YouTube. This phone has a HDMI port and I assumed it can connect through it to my Philips TV, which is not a smart TV, but a regular HD TV.
The only connection I was able to create was the built-in version of media gallery from phone which has the option to display the pictures from phone on TV screen (proving there is a working connection at least).

This should be possible as the device has the ability to use another display. I would recommend using something like Tablet Remote or other similar apps on the Play store so instead of using the device as a chrome cast you can use it as a full media center device connected to your TV. By using one of these apps you would play videos directly through your device instead of "casting" them. This should hopefully work arround the issue of apps like CheapCast crashing.
Hope I could help and good luck
Thank you, Tablet Remote works good between the 2 Android phones. Still working on it.
I am also working on this route, trying to make use of my screen-broken Xperia Z. However apart from using as mediacenter with kodi, it would be nice if I could properly emulate chromecast. I would love to see a nexus android TV Rom being able to drive my phone, is anybody working on that?

Hi, XDA.
I have a old s4 with a brocken lcd and I was wandering if I could use it as a chromecast or an android tv os rom. Youtube cast is what I'm looking for.
Hi !
You may be able to use the cast feature from your device but for this you must be able to have a working touch screen
Cheers !
Greetings,
my tv doesn't natively support Google Home, is there a way to install it in some ways?
The TV is a pretty new model and at the moment I have WebOS 5.x
Thanks in advance
Has anyone found a way of doing this? I have an older LG TV (just over a year) cost me a fortune but is on webOS 2.2 and is now the only device in my home I cant control via Google home. I dont want to replace this expensive TV just for that reason.
Thought harmony home hub if you set your lg tv in the harmony and link your Google home on harmony then google home will add it And it will also appear on google home hub display .. be aware that it just give you access to power, volume , channel and imput options with voice but it is better than none
Hi
I have a P40 pro running on normal HMS. I tried to screen cast it on my Philips TV running on android with inbuild chromecast.
My phone could not find my TV. I have checked all the settings and it is as it should be. It works normal with my old P20 pro (of course on a GMS).
So I couldnot use the "wireless projection" or mirror my screen on my TV.
I have also tried third party apps but they often come with a lot of bugs and bad cast quality.
Interestingly though, in youtube vanced the option of linking to TV works and it could cast as normal. But I want to cast other applications as well through mirroring the screen.
Does anyone know a solution for this?
Thank you in advance

Hi all,
I have issue with my Sony xr 2022 to add it to Google home.
Chromecast is working well, my Google account is well connected, Google assistant is working so i can command my light from voice command from remote controller
I can see the Sony TV on home app on My smartphone but a cannot associate to a house and a room. I have a message like "cannot add this device to this house"
I try multiple smartphone and i try to create a second house in Google home but with no results. So I'm pretty sure the issue is on Google TV
So my Google tv expérience is limited like i cannot display google photo as screen saver per example
As my tv was calibrated i don't want to reset my tv. But maybe a can Clean Data on few android system app to reset something
Can you help me?
Thank you
