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
Hi,
I have tried alot and always failed Is there anyone who tried mirroring Xperia XZ to Samsung smart TV series 5?
if yes, can you help me in that?
Thanks,
In phone U have a miracast and TV also have screen mirroring option turn it on and connect a phone to TV that's all.
I have Samsung 6 series TV, Just turn on the screen mirroring option on your phone, on your tv just make sure that you select the allow option. You are done
Thanks for replies...
The problem is I cant see my TV from the phone. I use wifi direct and I get connected.
Then I open screen mirroring, but cant find the TV. I go to the source list in the TV and cant see the screen mirroring. I go to all share menu in the TV and cant find my phone. I even tried to connect to my TV wireless from my wifi list and nothing works as well.
Can you share the exact steps?
Thanks,
so any detailed instructions?

Thanks alot for your reply... but do you think there is any solution for non-rooted device?
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.
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.
Hi All, I've had a look around several sites but can't figure this one out -- frustrating.
I have a Samsung smart TV (2016 model). Critically, it is offline (I just have it connected to a hard drive). My previous phone was a Moto X Play (2015), stock Android 7.1.1. I could cast the screen from the phone to the TV no problem, (Samsung calls it "Screen Mirroring" -- I don't know what protocol it's using, but it worked).
I now have a Moto G7 Play (2019), stock Android 9. I can no longer cast -- the phone can't seem to find the TV in the "cast" list. I've also tried "WiFi direct", and strangely the phone does find the TV and reports "connected", but the TV just reports "connecting..." endlessly and again nothing happens. In the TV settings, under multimedia devices, I can see the new phone, and it is "allowed". I have updated the TV firmware to latest, no change.
Every 3rd party casting app or website I've read starts with "make sure the phone and TV are on the same WiFi network". But I know this wasn't true for the old Moto X Play, because I don't have a WiFi network -- has something changed between Androids 7 and 9? Or is the phone hardware different? Or (methinks more likely) am I just missing some setting?
Any advice appreciated, many thanks.
Okay, missed it before but have now seen some discussion on a Motorola forum suggesting that Google and/or Motorola did indeed change something and now only Chromecast is natively supported...shady.
So now the question is, is there an app that recreates the previously supported functionality, i.e. casting to a non Chromecast (specifically Samsung) TV without having to be on a WiFi network (and presumably online)?
