I have the sch-i605 Verizon Samsung galaxy note 2. I bought an OEM Samsung MHL adapter for it and a HDMI cable. My phone is rooted using root_66 and Im on build JRO03C VERSION VRALL4 android version 4.1.1. My phone connects just fine to the TV until I try to play a video, any video, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc. The TV will say lost signal. When I back out of the video on my phone back to the desktop, the TV will then pick back up and display my phone contents. Strange for sure, but I cant find an answer to it. I also tried connecting my wife's Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 completely stock not rooted phone and that one plays just fine. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
UPDATE : I enabled all apps that I had disabled and rebooted. Im not sure what apps that were disabled were causing the problem yet. This now allows me to play all video on the phone. Problem now is every 30 seconds or so, I get a message pop up asking to enable global roaming mode. The options are cancel and accept. Anyone know what program or file that is coming from so I can delete it? It only pops up when I am playing a video on YouTube, Netflix, etc.. Im in my house and my signal strength is excellent. I tried with my wife's Verizon galaxy stock S4 and when it pops up on hers, I have a check box to never ask again. On my phone however, no such check box is there.

Hello, first post here. Pretty new to the whole smartphone thing. Trying to get the allshare, specifically the screen share to work with my tv. I have an ethernet cord plugged into a samsung tv with allshare with the other end going into a wireless router. The phone and tv find each other and I can stream a movie without a problem. When I go down to the screen share option in the settings it says no device detected. I spoke with samsung a couple of times about it and they said the only way for that to work is with one of their wireless dongles. I find that hard to believe that I can stream movies but not share the screen but I'm also new at this so I was wondering if you had any insight. Thanks in advance
DLNA isn't made for screen sharing. It's just not...I've been using DLNA for a good while before I got a smartphone with that capability. It's really apples and oranges.
i don't understand why in the tv manual it would say that you could though. Just that my phone needs to have screen share on it. was hoping to browse the internet on my tv or play some emulators on it. has anyone else been able to do that with this phone?
ndavis, it seems you are thinking of the phone's tv out feature via 3.5 mm jack. You can't run emulators over DLNA.
i've been trying to figure out how to play videos on the phone (from my pc). the phone sees the videos, but when i try to stream them, it says "unsupported file format". I know that the file is supported because if i physically download it to my phone, it plays fine. Any ideas?
So it's a really cool app that lets you stream all of HBO's series and movies if you have a cable TV package with HBO in it. It installs fine, I can set it up fine (a kludgy process), but when it plays I get sound and a giant pause button instead of video. Can anyone make it work?

sorry to revive this old thread, but the latest update to HBO GO now works on the S2!
...kind of
I just downloaded and installed this app yesterday. When I try to watch something it says its an audio stream only and to connect to WiFi to stream video. Odd thing is I've tried on my home and work WiFi to no avail. I'm stock and rooted. not that big a deal. Have contacted the developer but haven't heard back yet.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
it had been the same deal for me since this first came out and couldn't get it to work on my unbranded phone running on AT&T. then the latest version of hbo go for android phones says "now supports galaxy s2 epic touch" so i tried it today and it worked...for a while...after about 5 or 6 minutes of a show it blacked out and reverted to the same old "audio stream only"message. i am thinking it will get there eventually.
what i really want is for it to play on my brand spanking shiny new galaxy tab 10.1 but alas...no go on honeycomb
Anyone use it? Anyone know if its possible to use it with a costom rom? I'm running Hyperdrive and cant make it work with my Miracast equiped TV. Everytime I try to connect it acts like its working then I get a message on the phone saying "screen mirroring has been shut off". I'm wondering if I need to flash back to stock. Any help or advice is appreciated.
I use it perfectly fine on BoneStock ROM. I use Slingbox and have it hooked up to my moms Fios and i can screen mirror HD content from MY GS4 to my Samsung Smart TV.
Maybe you didnt install all parts of the AllShare stuff. All things Allshare, AllShare cast, Samsung Link, and Screen Mirroring need to be installed and not frozen. Also, whatever youre trying to screen mirror to needs to have the software as well so it can receive it. So a Samsung Smart TV or other Sammy devices and AllShare Cast only works on Android 4.2.2 or higher. I can't get it to even install on my Tab 2 10.1 running stock 4.1.1 nevermind getting to work.
Hey everyone...so I have a very difficult question and was hoping that someone here can help. I tried another forum but - not a peep.....and I am hoping since you guys here are developers you might be able to put on your propeller hat and figure this out!!!
I have the Ascend Mate 2 (which I really enjoy ) and decided to upgrade from I think it was 4.3 to Andriod 5.1 via the Huawei website. All went perfectly normal, and still is normal - except for one thing.
It won't stream or mirror to my television.
So here is a little background. It is the unlocked Ascend Mate 2, Andriod 5.1 EMUI 3.1, build MT2-L03c00B322. 2.0 GB RAM.
When it was 4.3, I streamed perfectly to the television using RK Anycast, ROKU and FireStick TV. Just set it up like normal, clicked on the display, it connected to the device I wanted to use and - off into movie-land I went (I have unlimited streaming data).
So I wanted to upgrade my phone so I could use various other apps that needed a higher version.
Did the normal upgrade via Huawei website and took just a couple minutes, no issues and all loaded all running like usual. So now here it is a few days later, and I am finally nearly done installing all my normal apps and backed-up/restored texts and calls etc. So I thought, let me stream a movie (I use the term streaming and mirroring to mean the same thing) from my phone to my TV so I can relax.
I do the normal, pull down from the top, and bring up the "multi-screen" option. And I see the RK Anycast device listed, I hit connect, it does connect, I see my cellphone mirrored on the TV like normal, I go to any app - Netflix, YouTube, Prime etc., that loads like normal....but when I hit play....it plays for about three seconds, then just totally hangs. Stops playing, the picture just stays on the TV screen without moving at all. So i have to close the program.
So I test this out with my Firestick and my Roku, does the same exact thing for them. Looks normal, connects like normal, I go to hit play it runs for about two seconds then just totally stalls and hangs.
I have no idea what the problem is...but seems almost like....maybe there is a certain setting for Andriod 5.1 that needs to be changed that I am not aware of?
Like I said I am just puzzled since I know it worked perfectly when I had Andriod 4.3 on it.
And get this - a saved video I physically on my cellphone - well that streams to the TV without hanging or lagging, it runs like normal.
Thanks for any ideas and hints....!!!
Hi, I have an LG G5 Android version 7.0. I just recently purchased a Roku Express +. I had one of the very first generation Roku's but I haven't used it for 3 or 4 years so I got it all set up and was excited about the option to screen mirror my phone to watch content that I can't cast.
Everywhere I look shows me the exact same information, which is basically to go to my settings in my LG G5, share and connect, select the device, and then, supposedly, Voila! Except there is no Voila!
What ends up happening is that my phone sees the Roku unit and after it finishes searching it shows it's connecting. I've already been into my Roku settings and it sees the LG G5 and also has an abled no prompts necessary for connection. But within a couple of seconds of connecting to the Roku, and the Roku puts up a little purple screen that shows a small device and a large TV screen so it looks like something's going to happen, then the connection drops, Roku goes back to its home screen, and my phone shows no devices are available for connection.
I have tried to Google myself silly figuring out what might be going on. I can't screen mirror remotely from my phone to my TV, which is early generation flat screen and not a smart TV, but with an HDMI cord and a dongle I bought that allows it to work that way. But, of course, when I do that I'm limited to screen mirroring only as long as my battery is running because the dongle goes into my charging port on my phone.
Maybe I am misunderstanding things, but from everything I can see, it appears that my Roku model I have, which is a 3900 series, should work as the Miracast Dongle so that my LG G5 can screen mirror to my unsmart TV.
I have PlayStored myself to death and because Developers interchange the words "cast" and "mirror" it's been install, uninstall, install, uninstall Ad nauseam. For all of the apps that end up just basically being "assistants" and taking me to my share and connect page they are no help at all because even though I go through the process the same problem happens.
I did download one app, which works but is working so horribly because of the app itself that it's useless. So I do know that my phone can mirror through the Roku somehow but it is basically circumventing having to go through the Share & Connect somehow. That app was called Screen Stream Mirroring, and I was trying the free version because I did not want to spend $5 if it wasn't going to work at all. Aside from the annoying ads and limited time, it did a lot of "loading. . .", and had a significant delay. I don't mind the delay, but today it was working worse than it did last night when I first tried it. I'm not sure how it connects, but there was a little tab on the side that said to connect to Chromecast, DLNA, or other stuff, and when I clicked on that Roku popped up as an option because the app saw my Roku so I connected that way. Or any way connected crappily.
I know that's a lot of information, but I wanted to give you everything that I've tried so far. I've also cleared my caches, uninstalled the third party mirroring and casting apps, made sure there were no available updates for my LG G5 or Roku, rebooted my phone, unplug and rebooted the Roku, and I'm not sure if there is a great app I can download? I don't mind a third party app but I can't find one that will work for me right now. So if anybody has ideas on that. Again, I need something that will mirror and not just passed because I would like to view my DishAnywhere or other things on the TV that I can't see through my Roku.
Or, ideally, it would be great to have my phone mirror directly to the Roku without that connection dropping and not seeing the device for some reason. There is no Direct Customer Support with Roku or my model Roku even though I just bought it new. My only options are help center cookie cutter choices you have to select from a drop-down menu, none of which have anything to do with screen mirroring.
Thank you in advance for any experience and or suggestions and ideas to troubleshoot this.,

Okay, how about a good Screen Mirroring App, not Casting, to mirror my LG G5 through my Roku? But it needs to bypass the Screen Mirroring button on my Share & Connect in Settings since that process keeps recognizing, trying to connect, and then dropping the Roku.
I did find one app that used a tab to connect directly to DNLA, Chromecast, etc. that recognized Roku and connected it, but the buffering/loading was horrible, the resolution wasn't great, and the second time I tried to use it the audio was not working. It was called Screen Stream Mirroring by MOBZAPP. Others I tried simply took me back to toggling on my Screen Mirroring button, and that is not working. Bypassing it did work, although the app wasn't great. I am hoping there is another, but I have not had luck since some developers say "mirror" but mean casting.
Thank you in advance for your time and and ideas,
Kristie
