I have tried, without success, to connect my Samsung Allshare Cast dongle to my Z Ultra.
The farthest I get is notification that it is connecting.
I assume that the two devices are incompatible. Is this correct?
I've read that the Z Ultra will not work with Chromecast. Are there any devices I can use which would allow me to mirror to my (non-smart) TV?
Many thanks for your help.

If you are rooted or willing to root mirroring to Chromecast will work.

When I connect the supplied HDMI cable between my Xperia S and TV*, I get a notification that HDMI is connected. However, TV launcher doesn't start so I cannot see anything on the TV screen.
Is it possible that an app I have installed is interfering with TV launcher?
Anything else I can try?
Xperia S on O2 UK, TV launcher is v 1.0.A.0.11.
*I've tried 3 different TVs with the same result.
I've now found a TV that it works on, so I know it's not my phone. New question: why doesn't it work on every TV?
Do you select HDMI input on your TV or you just wait until it shows up on TV screen? If the second, bear in mind some TV (if not set) they won't go to HDMI automatically.

Yes, I ensure that I select the correct input. For example on my Toshiba I use HDMI 4 which I choose before connecting the phone. When I do this, the blue Toshiba screen turns to black which probably indicates that something is physically connected to that input, but nothing happens on the phone other than the notification. I did the same on an Asus TV/Monitor and TV launcher starts. On an LG monitor at work it says that it's out of range.

Check via liveware if the tv starter is assigned to the hdmi action ;-)
Did it work on a Sony TV?
Im not sure but it might only work on other Sony products.

I don't have a Sony TV to test it on. It has only worked for me on an Asus 24T1E TV/ Monitor.

I have an LG monitor at work and it doesn't work on that. I thought HDMI meant it would work on any display with HDMI inputs.
Hello,
I've same trouble with my samsung TV. Same notifications but no picture on TV
Anynet+ and CEC activated, etc...
I'm thinking this fonction is not for all TV
i'll try on other TV
:'(
Works fine on my Samsung tv. Have no idea what types of televisions it works on.

My phone works fine with my sony bravia tv, i can operate almost everything with my tv remote except i cant input text like in google search...
the keypad opens up but i cant select the alphabets on it, any ideas?
Fixed with ICS
The problem appears to be fixed with the ICS update.
My TV is a Samsung LE32C450E1WXXH with anynet+ CEC support and I had this problem. The best way is the update. This was helped me 'cause before the software uptade the TV doesnt recognise the remote control command to my Xperia P. But after that i turned on the Anynet+ and VOILAA that works!
From all I can find online, it seems miracast is supported by the xperia z ultra. However, I can't seem to find the same "screen mirroring" option under display as I can find on my xperia z. Is there an option somewhere else?

It's under Xperia-connectivity, screen reproduction.
However, I can't get it to work. My tv LG 55lm765S supports miracast they can find each other and connect, and the nothing happens. LG calls it screen mirroring.

In the Google Play Edition, it's under Settings > Display > Cast screen > Enable Wireless Display.
But I haven't tried it; I don't yet have a Miracast device at my TV.
Hey Guys,
Im using a tab pro 12.2 and running stock rooted deodexed, and Im wondering if I buy the chromecast dongle - will I be able to mirror my device straight to the screen (I want to mirror custom videos not through youtube etc) with mxplayer pro. My TV doesnt have any sort of wifi, but it does have a hdmi slot - hence going with chromecast.
Pixel
Yes there are ways to do this
The TV doesn't need WiFi, just your home and device (tablet, phone, PC)
I can only cast screen natively from my nexus devices or PC but there are apps that allow for this
Check the Chromecast threads for more info
Oh, and the best $35 I ever spent, over a year now and still use it daily
Ok thanks, didnt realise there was a specific chromecast forums
Has anyone had any success screen mirroring to either Chromecast or a Samsung smart TV? If so, are you rooted or stock? If rooted, what ROM?
When I try screen mirroring through my Samsung smart TV the video comes through, but the sound does not. When I try through Chromecast, it disconnects immediately when I try to connect.
So...no one can reply after all this time?

I would test, but my 3 year old, in the past week in a half, broke both my chrome cast (not waterproof) and my 55" Sammy (die-cast Lightning McQueen)... My panasonic and LG are both stupid TV's... Sorry I can't help... But I do feel better now that I've vented a little...
I have been able to cast to my Chromecast on both my Sony 46" and my 32" Emerson with no problems. I have an older Chromecast(purchased just 2 weeks before the new ones can't out). Will try mirroring to my Sony when I get home. I can also cast if the Chromecast is connected directly to our Skny home theater system.
I am able to Miracast to my Samsung Smart TV. It occasionally disconnects and has some noticeable delay but otherwise works fairly well. Haven't a Chromecast to test with though. I am rooted with the stock ROM for the record.
no issues here.. try this..
be sure phone is in portrait mode when you initiate screen mirroring. Once connected, than turn landscape. Regarding chromecast, once connected DO NOT use home button 2 escape, just hit back button a few times..

Try this, after you open the video tap the screen then the circle on the top right.
Samsung Video Player (Android)
Official Samsung video player

You can always use a usb c to hdmi cable to connect. I do so to connect S23U to old Sony TV that has no WiFi...
