So now that the Z2 is supported for screen casting to the Chromecast I have the option in my Chromecast app but when I try to connect it says "No compatible Google Cast devices were found on your network.". I have four chromecasts and can successfully cast YouTube, pled or Netflix on any of them so why isn't my Z2 able to screen cast to them? I am on the latest stock FW from Sony. Any ideas? Anyone have this working on stock firmware without root and any Mods?

Hi guys,
I am using S3 GT-I9300 Android version 4.4.4 ParanoidAndroid version 4.1 and would like to use screen cast with Chromecast.
Whilst I am able to cast to screen from apps such as Youtube etc I am not able to mirror my S3 screen. When I connect to Chromecast I receive the pop up "device not optimised for this device". Android connects to Chromecast for a few seconds before disconnecting. Am using Chromecast 1.10.2 app. Is there anything I can do allow cast screen to function correctly? Thanks a million.

Have you tried using google before posting?
Read this: How to Enable Chromecast's Screen Mirroring on Any Rooted Android Device Running KitKat
that was only necessary when screen casting was limited to 3 devices, it's now open to everyone with the latest chromecast app but that doesn't mean it works

Hi Guys,
im using the latest CM12 builds and yesterday i bought a Chromecast. Everything works fine. I can stream from my PC and from my Z2 Using Youtube or other apps for example.
But when i want to mirror my whole screen, nothing happens on my TV. On the Phone it says "connected to Chromecast" but nothing is showing up.
I used CM builtin function and Chromecast app.
Isn't it working with CM12 or lollipop yet?
thanks!
I've tried both smart view (which I believe is only for Samsung smart TVs) and Google home app. I'm trying to cast to my Nvidia shield through the Google home app on the tablet. All I get is a blank screen on the tv. Seems like everything is connected. Home app sees the tv and I hit cast to it and the tablet shows that its casting but all I get on the tv is a blank screen. Anyone else having this issue??

I am able to cast via Smartview to my Sony smart TV, Chromecast and Microsoft wireless display adapter on my desktop Monitors. The casting is a little finnicky when my Smart TV is running an app, e.g. YouTube video, otherwise it works fine for me.
Have no luck to do the reverse casting to the tablet via Smartview though.
I'm having issues as well.
Can't cast from my Tab S6 to the Shield.
The screen goes black but nothing happens.
After a while "screen casting has ended" is shown on the tablet.
Casting from my S10 works just fine though.
No idea what's going on.
I am also unable to cast via the google Home app, just black screen then a message saying casting has stopped of something. I can still cast content from the tablet to the Shield such as video from a streaming app,
Connected
I too was having the same exact issue. All was working fine until recently. What I did was used my phone to connect to Shield via smartview. Once connected I opened smartview on the tablet and was able to connect. I only tried once, however I searched rebooted, etc... Still couldn't find a way until today. Good luck I see it's been awhile since last post.
Yep. Also cannot cast screen to my Sony TV - Neither with Smart View nor Google Home. This is either a problem exclusive to the Tablet, Android 9 or root.
My Galaxy S10 can cast to my TV without any issue, running Android 10 and NOT rooted.
What firmware ect is everyone running? I'm on Pie, SK1 and rooted.
Are you guys using a VPN? If so, try disabling it and try again.
Pocophone miui 11 android 10 with chromecast first gen. Internal screen mirroring cannot find chromecast. Google home can mirror screen but have no sound. I think previous version of miui it had sound. Anyone found solution other then downgrade?
Have the same issue with chromecast 2 as well.
Miui 11 android 10.
Any solutions??
Native cast cant even detect chromecast.
Ok. Got the solution.
Under casting and sharing in settings there is an option wireless display.
Use that for screen mirroring to chrome cast. Worked for me
