Does Casting/Wireless Display work well on any rom? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers

Has anyone seen a Redmi Note 6 Pro that could actually cast video to a display without the video being messed up and audio getting de-synced?
I tried custom roms hoping maybe one of them would have good casting but I give up. My device is useless when it comes to casting/mirroring to my firestick.
I might look into kodi or some other app to cast my phone to my firestick but now i am curious if it's just my device or if all/most Redmi Note 6 Pro's have the problem.

MIUI 11 adds a lot of cool things for casting... unfortunately video still gets choppy. Audio seems to work fine now but video still messes up too frequently.
I'm wondering if a Kernel could fix casting for me.

Already tested with Chromecast, Wireless Display (Intel) and Miracast. Everything running smoothly with latest Developer ROM by Xiaomi.

I never tested with Amazon Firestick.

I have Redmi 5 with MIUI 11 but I could only use screen mirroring (casting) to my Firestick once. After that, it can't find my Firestick. I guess this might be a common issue in Xiaomi devices.

Ok I finally found out why casting from the phone wasn't working.....
My Redmi note 6 pro doesn't like casting on a 2.4ghz wifi.
I own 3 routers and I was using my ea2700 Linksys router which had DD-WRT on it because you know I like to use it if I can but on that router it breaks 5ghz so there wasn't a 5ghz option.
I switch to another router recently and started using 5ghz...found out casting works perfect on 5ghz.
The Galaxy S10 works perfect on 2.4ghz and I'm not familiar with casting so I mistakenly assumed that my Redmi n6pro should work fine on 2.4ghz too.

[Q] Cheapest and best Miracast option? And roms with Miracast

I am very interested in getting some kind of Miracast adapter so I can use my phone like you can with an idevice and Apple TV. What would be the best option? Also, I know a few devices have Miracast compatibility so would future roms for phones be able to have that feature added even if it isnt officially supported for the device I am using?

Miracast

Hello all. Hope you are enjoying your N5s. Yesterday I bought a cheap streaming box ( PANASONIC - DMP-MS10EB-K ) with miracast capabilities. Unfortunately I can not get miracast to work.
There are YouTube videos of the device working with the note3 and s4 as well as nexus 7, but no joy for me and my lovely N5.
Has anyone got miracast working? If so what device are you using?

At which step is it not working for you?
I'm using a Sony Bravia smart TV and worked right away!
Be sure to enable miracast on your phone though, it's under display settings, "Wireless Display" has to be ON.
It is enabled on phone. My phone does see the Panasonic device and starts connecting. The TV screen shows that it is trying to connect also then after about 30 seconds the Panasonic disappears from the list on the phone and then I get unable to connect.

The Panasonic is still not working so I will get different device. Any suggestions?

I have just bought the DMP-MS10EB-K too and I can't get it to work with my Nexus 5. I get the same problem as you describe.
I have my Nexus 7 (2013) in work and I will test it tomorrow but I have seen videos of it working Nexus 7 to DMP-MS10EB-K.
I will post if it works later.

This thing is Rubbish. I tried a Note 2, Galaxy s3, Surface pro and Surface 2. Non work. It just connects for a couple of seconds then disconnects with no picture at all. Really annoying. Would be nice to get a list on this thread as to which devices do work. If any?

I will get my Nexus 7 and XPS12 which I think has miracast and post the results tomorrow. If I have no luck I think I will be taking it back. Its a shame really as its pretty good at dlna and Netflix. There is a video on YouTube with a guy using it with Samsung phones and a Nexus 7.
Think he might be a reseller of some sort. Did you see his review on Amazon, talk about Over the top its ridiculous. Sounds like he is selling them to me. Besides he doesn't show the device on youtube or how he connected. Very suspect. Let us know how you get on cheers.
Well I suppose it is good to know that it is not just me having problems. What to try next?

Only had time to test for 10 minutes. Nexus 7 2013 connected after a couple of attempts. I could flick the menu's around fine with minimal lag and was impressed. I then tried to play some video and the MS10 froze on two occasions and I had to pull the plug to restart it.
I will play around with the settings and test some other devices tomorrow.

I have tried the Rocketfish Miracast Video Receiver using my Nexus 5. I have no problem connect to my old LG HDTV( no CEC support, cannot change the receiver setting). It mirror the games( Asphalt 8, Sonic Racing, Riptide GP2) I played on Nexus 5 with little lagging. Mainly I want to show pictures and family video of my phone to TV, I found it works fine for me.
Hi, I've also tried with my smart tv LG 42lm620s, but without luck.. I see the TV on N5, when I try to connect to TV, on TV I see the loading bar for the connection, but after some time (~20sec) TV outputs an error of "device not compatible" and TV disappears from N5 list.
I sent an email to LG, still waiting for response....

I bought a Panasonic BluRay player with built in Miracast support yesterday and cannot get it to work with my Nexus 5. They 'try to connect' and then it fails with my N5 freezing every time. Adding to my frustration is the fact that my N5 is completely stock with only root & a custom recovery.
Also, it works perfectly with my stock, unrooted Galaxy S 4 & my Nexus 4 running Slimbean. Short of installing Slimkat, which will eventually happen, does anyone have any ideas for getting this working?

Exactly the same here. Note 2, Nexus 5, Surface 2 Pro, all fall on this device. It seems to disconnect from wireless and then goes AWOL like a banana. Waiting for a response from Panasonic as this is clearly an issue with them, not with the Nexus 5.

Chromecast cast screen for galaxy tab

This is not my work but I found it and it works great so I figured I'd share. It is for chromecast cast screen. This feature is currently only available for a few devices but using this it works perfectly on my tab 4 10.1, my tab 3 7.0, and my note 8.0 just As it works on my note 3 which is one of the devices that do have the feature. Again this is not my work so be sure to give thanks to the fellow who got this working for us.

Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Bluetooth rejected pairing to Sony wh ch700n headphone

Need help! "Bluetooth rejected pairing"
Please someone with experience tell me how can I solve the Bluetooth pairing problem on Xiaomi Mi Note 10. I couldn't find any specific description like "yeah this worked for me".
The headphone is working perfectly with other phones and even with laptops.
Tried to pair with my Sony wh ch700n headphone with no success. Every time shows "Rejected pairing". Turned on developer options, tried with several extra Bluetooth settings there, but no luck so far.
Read about 30 articles on Google, but most off them was bs or just with factory reset tips. Nothing useful.
Which rom? Maybe help to reset the Bluetooth app

Just got system update, but still can't pair my headphone which worked perfectly before with my old Redmi Note 7
Mi Note 10 system:
MIUI 11.1.2
Android 10 QKQ1
Also updated the headphone firmware to version 4.5.2 from the Redmin Note 7 through bluetooth transfer. Connected successfully with the redmi, music was good. Then tried to unpair and pair again but got the same "Rejected by headphone" error message.
Tomorrow I'll bring it into the office and try to connect from my collegs phones to my Sony headphone.
The other thing that I found my old MI band which I can now connect and seems like works fine.
Any news on this? I am very curious as I am about to purchase new smartphone and I need to know if Xiaomi Mi Note 10 (pro) can pair with my Sennheiser wireless without any issues

Hi! Yes, its got sorted out.
I had to pair the bluetooth using nfc. I mean its working fine after I tried this type of pairing. Looks like when both devices has nfc then I have to use it.
Ah, I see. The same thing happened to me once. I believe it was on my Moto Z Play. Thanks for info.

Question I've just ordered a 12.6 - Looks to be an international version already

Hi All,
I am currently an owner of a Xiaoxin Pad Pro 11 (2021). I'm happy with the performance but not the screen. I thought I would take the gamble and go for a Xioxin 12.6 as it has a newer AMOLED screen vs the 90hz OLED on my current one. The near black crush is terrible and I really do use it for quite a lot of media consumption.
Anyways. To the main point of the thread. The P12 pro is already listed on Lenovo UK site with 6gb RAM 128 SSD. The Xiaoxin is 8GB 250GB.
When I flash the international firmware from Rescue and Smart Assistant it is already listing a P12 Pro TB0Q706F with two HW Codes 16 or 19. Any clue which I would flash? I'm guessing the higher one is more likely the 8GB ram version?
Also the P12 pro is already listed on the netflix compatibility site for Dolby Vision. Once I flash the international version should Netflix see my tablet as a P12 Pro vs a Xiaoxin?
I know it's very early days but i'm hoping people can apply knowledge from earlier Lenovo tablets here.
Hi!
I also placed an order for this one, expecting it any day now. Exciting! To your question about HDR and DOLBY VISION on Netflix etc, I don't think there is much hope for that since it will probably still be the "prc" version after flashing the ROW ROM. But you never know!

My Xiaoxin Pad 12.6 arrives in the next day or 2 as well. Hoping the newer Samsung AMOLED doesn't suffer from blurry text as the OLED on the 11.
Did you flash the global rom to your Pro 11 and have use of Netflix in HD? Or did that have netflix hd capability out of the box?

Did they never solve that on the 2020 P11 Pro?
I figured as the hardware was the same it wouldn't know any different. Bummer

I've not received it yet. However my current tablet works with play store and you can download netflix no issue. Fingers crossed it will flash to a version netflix recognises for Dolby Vision.

From what I have read they never solved that, didn't get the same Build Fingerprint on the Xiaoxin as the P11 Pro, showed up in DRM Info as tb-j706f_prc instead of tb-j706f. Unfortunately I read all that AFTTER I placed the order on the 12.6, having no experience with Lenovo tablets from before. So I think there is very little hope for Netflix Dolby vision but it will still be a very pleasant tablet I assume.
OK same boat.
I'm not sure if the 2020 Xiaoxin has access to the play store etc out the box but the 2021 does. I can even download Netflix/Disney+ direct from the Google store now. Perhaps there's a change in stance.
All we can do at this point is keep our fingers crossed and hope what ever the 12.6 changes to when flashed to a P12 is recognised by Netflix.

The Xiaoxin Pad Pro 11 is an absolute beast from a hardware perspective. If you can use plex etc you really won't miss netflix all that much. Don't get me wrong it's a bummer having to torrent programs I already pay for a sub for but it's not the end of the world.
As long as the P12 Pro had a screen that handles near black better it'll be a fantastic tablet.
@mardon85
My Xiaoxin 12.6 arrived today. Widevine L1 certified, Netflix is working in full HD and HDR 10 and dolby vision is supported. I had to sideload netflix, it doesn't appear in the play store. Also I had an OTA update which didn't affect these results.
That's great news! So Netflix with Dolby Vision out of the box with ZUI 13? Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning

Yup. Play store was preinstalled, probably by Giztop? AMOLED is amazing, 120hz by default and text is sharp. Good improvements over the previous models.

I can also verify Netflix HDR + Dolby Vision in FHD. On HBO Max I can play Dune in 4K Dolby Vision but everything else is only FHD, weird? Amazon Prime: FHD, Dinsey Plus: FHD.
I agree that the screen is really great. 4K HDR content on Youtube looks as good as on my LG CX OLED TV.
I also had to sideload Netflix, and Play Store was installed, the plastic wrapping had been removed from the box. But I see why they do that, it's a little frustrating downloading Play Store from the native App Store app with everything in Chineese (Which I did after a factary reset).
I can verify that there is no GPS, I think it's only for the 5G models. In DRM Info it shows up as TB-Q706F-PRC in the Build Fingerprint as expected. Everything seems to be working fine so far. The only bug I've seen so far is that drop-down menys in Chrome is not working.
So who will be first to flash the ROW ROM? I don't have much experience there so I would prefer to let someone else give it a go first.
Oh and wifi 5GHz is limited to some specific channels, I had to reconfigure my router.

Someone's uploaded a first impressions video :
So... got too tempted and could not wait so I tried to flash it, the flashing process seems to go fine but the tablet tells me after that it's corrupt and then later it's stuck in the "Fastboot mode meny" (I don't know whats it is called but you know what I mean), cant to anything from there it just restart and go back there.
Any ideas?

So... I'm new to this. I tried first with the Lenovo Recovery tool, it flashed without problems but got stuck in fastboot. Then I tried Qfil where I also get a "Success", but corrupt device and stuck in Fastboot. Tried Qfil many times with some different settings.
I upgraded ZUI before all this, so the ROW firmware was older than what I had on the tablet, if that matters.
Tbh it sounds like you've tried everything I would have unfortunately.
There's a bloke at this link who explains the process quite clearly. Maybe it'll help?
China Tablets to recommend
it also took me a few tries to get it. so afraid of bricking it. Totally right... sigh... but now Vanced YouTube isn't working for me... can install but cannot connect to my Google account... EDIT: Found a solution on Reddit - disable Chrome under Apps & Permission, then log in to Google...
forums.hardwarezone.com.sg
Seems odd both methods fail. Does the lenovo route download from their server or ask you to provide a rom?
