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.

I bought a Hi763 Miracast from Focalprice mostly for the DLNA feature because I want to stream wireless audio to a receiver. Setup is pretty easy and the device can switch between Miracast and DLNA mode. I am in DLNA mode and the device is connected to my home network just fine.
With the device connected to my network, when I browse "Network" via my Windows 7 PC, I see the device shows up as a media device titled HI763-8B8182-DMR however I do not get any option to connect to it. When I right click a music file, I also do not get the option to "Play To" the device like I would on other DLNA connected devices.
Thoughts on how I can stream audio to the device via Windows 7?

If you open Windows Media Player, you should be able to stream to your dongle via that. But you need to make sure that media streaming is enabled first (go to the network and sharing centre in the control panel, then select "change advanced sharing settings" from list on the left hand side. Choose whichever profile is appropriate for the wifi network you are on and then check "media streaming" (4th item down) is set to on).
The "Network" browse you refer to (presuming you mean the one under Windows Explorer) is for file shares (Samba or Windows shares) and isn't what you want for actual media sharing/streaming (it will presumably be showing up for management connection via web and/or telnet interfaces).
Once things are set up, you should be able to play your file via the stream menu that should be there. You may need to tweak a few settings in media player too though - see the link below for some guidance:

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, this Miracast device just does not show up as an available streaming option. I know that the device is connected to the network properly (I can see it and browse the device webpage).
I am basically out of ideas now as I've tried everything.

How are you trying to stream to it? Using which Windows program?

Windows Media Player. My experience with DLNA streaming is that you first have to "install" the device first. Such as with my Onkyo network receiver. I right click the device in My Network, then select the "install device" option. Then I can stream to it. But this Miracast does not have an "install device" option when I right click it in My Network.

Hmm, my experience is different - the DLNA renderer should just be visible to a suitable source and/or controller (such as Media Player), without any need to install anything, once it is connected to the same network as your laptop (the one with the Media Player, or whatever you are using as a DLNA server).
As you can see the device on the network and browse its webpage (I presume you mean by connecting directly to the device using IE or similar via the IP address it generates on the screen) then it's on the network properly. I would suspect that your laptop isn't set up correctly for streaming out to the device. There are details about that on the web, such as the link below (it also depends which version of WMP you are using, only v11 and upwards can do it) for Win7 and Win8:

There's a video on YouTube (link below) for mirroring a phone onto a TV using the device which may help if you haven't already seen it?

I just received mine this morning, and having quite a few problems with it too.
My phone won't detect it in Miracast mode, looks like 4.4 Roms have many problems with screen casting.
My tablet detect it, but it lags a lot and resolution seems to be the same as tablet screen so not 1080p at all, I want to stream Netflix on my TV, tried several HDMI adapters but it's very expensive and often break after a few days, so screen casting is way better to me.
DLNA seems to be working with the Google Play app, but I can't stream Netflix with it
So I was wondering if updating firmware will resolve some problems, or if anyone knows how to activate screen casting on 4.4 custom roms or anything else that will allow me to stream Netflix in HD on my TV lol.
PS : Hey un Clermontois ! lol, je suis de Vichy.
Have you switched on wireless display sharing in the detection?

On my 4.4 phone, when I'm in the screencast settings, I need to press the menu button and check wireless screen casting in order for the phone to detect the dongle. maybe this helps.

Hi
Try using WiFi Display application from Google Play. That's what I use with this dongle, but i've Sony XV 4.3.
and my question: did u send to this dongle video in 720P? was it lucky? i not.
Hi,
I cannot get my device to 'discover' a microsoft miracast adaptor I have plugged in my tv. This device supports wi-fi direct, so it should theoretically work!
What I did :
I decided to upgrade my system as it was starting to lag badly, after 2 years of use.. I wanted to upgrade to kitkat at lesat, so I could stream movies to a tv. That feature was quite attractive to me.
I acquired CM11 unofficial from this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2637079
full tablet wipe, (Forgot to backup SMS, argh) and it installed CM11 with kitkat 4.4.4 just fine. No problems that I can see, installed slim Gapps package - just for the play store, nothing else. Gonna install Gmail later.
Then I bought a chromecast, it was quite fiddly - It wouldnt find it on cast screen either, I discovered I needed it to run through a wifi network with a permanent internet connection. After this, it showed up on cast screen. Also, the streaming quality was complete crap - so I returned it and got a microsoft miracast adaptor - which apparently has better quality and doesn't need a wifi router!
I can't figure out how to get it to show up. The cast screen tab cannot find any devices. The adaptor sits in the tv, and it shows '"ready to connect" on there.
Since the tab for cast screen exists on my tablet, the functionality is there, and waiting to be used?
Any help please?
Do I need to do something like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 ?
So, no one has provided any tips yet... I'm going to go return this miracast adaptor before I can't get a refund for it.
But before I do, is there another forum category, or another place on the internet where I may be suggested to try for some troubleshooting advice?
This doesn't make sense to me - as the functionality WORKS, it is supported by the hardware, and the chromecast adaptor actually showed up before
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.
How can I mirror my phone screen to Samsunng Smart TV? I tried few Samsung Apps but without success. Did any one manage to do it? Also After I have installed Smartview app I can use my phone as a Pilot but I must first turn it on :S I could turn on/off my TV using Galaxy S8+ without problem...
Ok so I found it and want to share if someone will also have any problems.
This is built in feature.
Go to: Settings > Bluetooth &device connection > Connection preferences > Cast
Of course you need to be connected to the same network as your TV.
It works pretty nice.
Good luck all!
And just faced another problem. I can screen cast to my Samsung Smart TV without problem but when I try to do it on the older Samsung Smart TV version at my parents-in-law I have a problem.
First of all phone is finding TV very slowly and when it is found, I click to connect then it tries to connect, I get notification on TV that OnePlus is trying to connect and after 2-3 secods I get info on TV - disconnected and screen cast stops on my phone.
Using 9.5.4 EU soft version, TV is up to date.
Any ideas?
I have broken Mi 49 inch LED TV (Android). The screen is completely broken, nothing is visible except white light bleeding from cracks. The TV is completely working and audio can be heard when turned on.
As this is a fully functional Android device with rich connectivity options (WiFi, Ethernet, USB) I was thinking of savaging it into some sort of media server or remote desktop or something like that.
I searched a lot over the internet but was unable to find anything on how to video out from this device or how to enable any screen sharing over network (like VNC / RDP) but was not able to do anything as the screen is completely gone and there is no way I can interact with the device.
Here is what I have,
- No WiFi is configured on TV, cannot setup or connect to any network as screen is not working.
- ADB is not enabled, as said before cannot enable as not able to interact with device.
- Able to connect the TV over the Ethernet but except pinging it cannot do anything else. Tried open ADB ports but as it is disabled cannot do anything.
Please help me with this if you know way like how can I get shell access or how to hack my way into ADB or any way to video out from device.
Here is the product page of the device - https://www.mi.com/in/mi-led-smart-tv-4a-pro-49/
