Hi,
Was using a USB C to HDMI wired mirror screening dongle with LG V20 earlier without any issue but even though Poco F1 plays USB DAC and other storage devices normally mirroring doesn't work at all. Is dongle not compatible or Miui issue? Anyone using a mirroring dongle successfully then pls link it.

I've read a couple of threads on here and one on Mi forums where people have found the same. I'm hoping it will be added in a software update. Meanwhile it casts to Chromecast natively (not what you're asking for, but something)

Yeah looks like one of those things that Xiaomi thinks doesn't matter to include. Also, I see 'wireless display' in settings on Poco but doesn't mention what kind. So my extended question is does it support Miracast/DLNA?

The "wireless display" function initiates Chromecast screen cast. It might do Miracast as well but I don't have a dongle to test
Found that OP5 has same issue and they found a solution https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/wired-tv-one-plus-5-makes-displaylink-t3667974 though it's more expensive than a Chromecast/Miracast. I miss my LG now.
My Poco F1 also not connecting to MI Android TV through Miracast

It does support Miracast. Tested it with my Amazon Firestick.
It connects easily very easily through Mira cast to mi tv.

In other thread someone wrote it didn't work with his Miracast device. So it's still not clear.
Not for me
Earlier it used to connect to my mi tv but now it doesn't. Also checked with Chromecast and fire TV 4k

I think that I read somewhere that it is Google which has made the change in Pie so that only Chromecast will connect. May be an earlier version of android will help.
Hi! I don't want to start another thread, so I'll describe my issue here.
I have last MIUI 10.3.8.0 and I have problems with screen mirroring. Previous MIUI I used to connect my phone to my Samsung TV and it worked as a charm. Yesterday i tried to connect again, but i didn't manage to connect. Have anyone the same problem? Is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

Did u find a solution bro? I'm facing same issue.
Yes, I did hard reset and all is OK now.
Hi you all probably figured this out already but it seems that screen mirroring native miracast is broken on most recent xiaomi phone models since they were updated. I have a Redmi Note 5 (Whyred), a mi max 2 and a mi max 3. Only the Max 2 works normally. The other models can cast using apps that cast like Prime Video, VLC etc but can't simply mirror whatever is on the screen. The Miui forums are full of such reports. No response from Xiaomi and no viable workaround. I was already reluctant to upgrade because Id been waiting for MHL hardwired video out to be implemented and it never was (Id pay a premium fot a xiaomi phone that had it). I saw a couple of XDA threads where folks got mirroring to work via custom roms and my phone is rooted but I am uncertain which rom might accomplish this fix for my particular model.
These are my last Xiaomi phones unless I see something official from them about a solution for this known problem. Mirroring is anessential for me not just for entertainment but for work.
Hi I finally solved the problem of screen cast
first (turn on Bluetooth and WiFi )
Then enable the Screen mirroring on the TV
Then connect the WiFi to the TV
Enable Screen cast on phone and search and connect to TV

Poco X3 is not able to Cast screen by using Wireless Display or Google Home App with Google Chromecast. Need solution.
I don't know whether this might help anyone else but I had disabled miconnect package on my Xiaomi devices. when I re-enabled miconnect service and uniplay service, Chromecast started working again (I am not sure why miconnect should matter ... it isn't supposed to be related to non xiaomi devices, but it is something else to try if you disabled it too).

Hello there,
I am still looking how to mirror the screen of my S3, by mirror I mean to see what I am doing on my S3, not to stream videos, music or pictures..
For example if I play NOVA, I`d like to see on my Smart TV.
So we do have a Smart TV with wifi (wireless) incorporated, my model D6530 (D6500 series), but I cant find the option to mirror screen.
Is there a trick ??? Can somebody find out or make a software to do this..
Hardware both is all ok and accepted, only SW is missing or hide.
Thanks
Even I am looking for the same. But no luck yet.
There is a discussion on this thread about screen cast (screen replication on TV) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678135
Looks like its not yet released and will be available in late summer as per facebook sweden update (as per some user's comment in one of the threads)
With All share play app already available you can stream content(video/photos/music) to TV (same as other DLNA apps like iMediaShare).
The only part lacking and I am desperate is AllShare Cast app.
I thought you needed the dangle for all share cast to work? I its not cheap. Hope I'm wrong I've got a dlna Samsung 5series smart tv and use dlna all the time for porn Ammm I mean video viewing and it's great smooth and fast ^o^

Looking for the same too. This what I found so far.
Google for xbounds.
If you got another android that can hook up to tv, you can install MirrorOp apps. Works well but framerate is limited.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I dont need the dongle to carry all ****s with me, I already have a Smart TV with wifi.. dongle is for normal TV without wifi
Hope they will do something about this
yeah, dont really understand why this isnt already possible, the hardware is there, at present you'll just have to manage with your hdmi which makes gaming pretty much impossible comfortably.
This is probably my only gripe with this phone and my last the sgs2.

NOTE: I think allshare only works with the 7000 / 8000 varieties, this was suggested in the sgs2 threads on the subject. I used to have an sgs2 but there was never an option to cast your phone screen without HDMI connection, have to wonder if this option is on the SGS3 at all.

After receiving the latest firmware update on my phone, it finally shows "AllShare Cast" as an option in settings. Unfortunately, it can not detect the UN60ES7500 I have on display in the showroom (or the PN51E8000), nor the BDE5700 and BDE6500 Blu-Ray players. Nothing shows as a "detected device". I just upgraded the firmware on the UN60ES7500 and no change. I tried connecting via our Wi-Fi network, as well as using "WiFi Direct"...still no dice.
Additionally, the "LiveView" Android app apparently isn't compatible with the Galaxy S III either...so no streaming video from the TV BACK to the phone either...grrr.
Samsung needs some software help, pronto!
@jnemesh
same for me what firmware on S3 you tested ?
Allshare Cast doesnt work yet but already has issues
Salut
I have a 7000 series smart tv + WiFi dongle. I can confirm that Allshare plays photos, music & videos from S3 to tv, but Allshare Cast is not working. also there is PIA bug with Allshare Cast on S3 running latest v.17 Omega rom, when disabled from settings it also disables WiFi Anyone saw this issue? The only option to get rid of that it could be re-flashing the Omega rom without the Allshare Cast.:silly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p6nOAcSUsE
so that isn't working now even if you have the dongle and a s3?
:/ did they disable the feature?
this is what i'm trying to figure out ..if you have a smart tv that can stream videos via allshare just fine..then shouldnt hardware wise you have all you need for allshare-cast to work too??
i have a UA46ES6200 and my s3 can not detect it when scanning for allshare-cast devices ...but allshare play is working just fine
but i want screen mirroring :/
this is really annoying, Samsung ever read here ?
or how we can get feedback on this..
I bought S3 for this option (like in commercials), otherwise I would stick with my S1 and S2..
Somebody managed to mirror screen without dongle ?
I have a Samsung S2 phone which is now permanently mounted on the microscope to take pictures of specimens. As the phone is quite old, I have used cynogenmod (11.0) with android 4.4.4 on it replacing the touchwiz software.
I have tried Google Chromecast first-generation - doesn't work. The phone seems to be trying to connect as the chromecast is going to switch on, but in the middle of connection, the casting stops. It works with other phones, just not the S2. I have bought and tried a micro USB to Hdmi port. Does not work. Any ideas how to cast it to a monitor? Maybe I need to install another rom?

Thanks for the article. Never knew those existed.
You can try to use MHL , but It doesn't work on AOSP and CyanogenMod. You need stock ROM or Stock based ROM to make it work
Thanks. I finally got it to work with the Techjunkie article. However, only one method worked which is the Airdroid. The rest:
1. Vysor
2. Mirror
3. Chromecast and Google Cast
does not work. I think it may be due to the old cynogen onboard.
I have one Galaxy S9 phone and one Galaxy S9 plus phone. I am unable to cast the videos directly from youtube to TV from both of these phones and in older Galaxy S series phones this is very straight forward. I have tried multiple options without any luck and I also found that lot of people have the same issue when I googled. I have contacted Samsung support and they told me that you need to install "Samsung Smart View" app from Google play store. It seems this app doesn't come in built unlike previous versions. Unbelievably, when you pull down the buttons below settings icon it displays smart view button even though it's not installed on the phone. It is not detecting any devices until you install "Samsung Smart View". I don't know whether this is intentional or they just screwed this up.
It seems Samsung released a patch update for this issue now.
You don't use Smart View or anything else to cast. The YouTube app has a cast icon if it sees a Chromecast on the same wireless network. I'm a little confused by your initial post. There hasn't been any issue using a Chromecast with my S9+.
What?

Same here.
Apps with native Chromecast support (e.g. YouTube, Netflix, Google Play Movies etc) have always worked perfectly on my S9+.

The following steps seems to resolve the issue
After lot of trials and errors, I am able to resolve my issue thanks to Aliaksandra from google chromecast product forums.
Here are the steps:
1) Go to Settings->Select Device Maintenance
2) Wait for optimization to complete and then select Optimize now
3) Then select the Storage tab located at the bottom of the screen
4) Click on the three dots located on the top right and select Settings->Click Clear Cache
5) Select the Memory tab from the bottom of the screen and click Clean Now
6) Reboot the Samsung device and then try adding the account once again.
This did the trick for me and my friends also.
Has always worked fine for me. I have an S9+, one Chromecast Ultra and one Chromecast. No issues.

What on Earth are you talking about? First you talk about Smart View. Then you talk about a non-existent firmware update. Now you're claiming "device optimization" is a cure for an issue that doesn't exist. Where does adding an account factor into casting?
I'm not sure you understand how Chromecasts even work. Are you even casting from within apps or just mirroring your screen?
Can you provide a link to the Google forums that talk about this issue?

Hi Averix,
Bro, you need to understand people do have these kinds of issues. I agree you may have spent more time resolving these issues and helping people but please don't assume you know everything bro.
I know how to use Chromecast works and been using it for last 3-4 years. As explained in the OP, I have the problem in casting videos from youtube on S9+ phone to TV which is working fine with previous versions of Samsung Galaxy phones. When I raised complaint with Samsung tech support, they gave me number to contact them. When I contacted them, they made me troubleshoot the issue and finally they told me to install Samsung smart view app from play store and after installing this also it still not worked correctly. After couple of hours later my phone displayed a message that there is software update and after this update the cast icon started showing up on youtube videos intermittently. Once I followed steps mentioned in the links below, now it is working for me.

I read through that thread. It's a cluster of different issues from Chromecasts rebooting or not connecting, the Home app not working with mirroring, Smart View not casting properly, etc. There isn't any common thread of a core issue. I'm glad the voodoo solution solved your problem, but having dealt with hundreds of Chromecasts for commercial installations, I think your case is extremely isolated. I would be curious to see some replies if anyone else is having this issue on here.
Again, I'm glad yours is working now, but I think your solutions of phone software update and cache clearing are actually irrelevant. I'm betting the phone reboot cycles had a bigger impact on flushing the cast associations that your phone thought it had. Using Smart View to cast a mirrored image of your screen to a Chromecast is one of the most horribly inefficient way of casting. If an app has native casting capabilities, always default to using that first. Otherwise, you're literally streaming content to your phone, rendering it on the phone, encoding the content being rendered on your phone, and sending it out from your phone to play as video on a Chromecast. When you select a cast icon from an app, it typically just tells the Chromecast "Hey, go out to the internet and stream this video directly. I'll give you some credentials so you can watch that DRM video. Let me sit here and idle my processor saving battery and making my owner happier."

Thanks, bro.
Installing the SmartView app seems to have helped with my issue.
I have three TiVo units, three Rokus, and two Vizio smart TVs. I just switched from my S7 Edge to the S9+ ; the S7E would show all these devices when casting from YouTube app.
When I tried to cast from YouTube app on S9+ to my TVs the only devices I would see were the Rokus. Neither TV and none of the TiVos would show as options for casting from the YouTube app.
After installing the Samsung Smart View app all of the devices were listed! Thanks!

Casting to a Chromecast is not the same as talking to a Tivo, Roku, or smart TV. The discovery protocol is different. YouTube maintains the DIAL protocol which is why it shows up on Tivos and Rokus. In your case, open the YouTube app and look at all the devices you see available to cast from. Now open Hulu, Movies Anywhere, or other Google Cast compliant apps and you will see a much smaller list corresponding only to devices broadcasting as Google Cast receivers.
This thread is mixing up Google Cast (Chromecast or Android TV receiver), Miracast (screen mirroring using Wi-Fi Direct), the DIAL discovery for streaming content, and apps that use multiple protocols (SmartView). Each one has it's own issues and gotchas when trying to make things work. The problem with the advice in this thread is that there is no panacea for all the myriad of symptoms the original poster and you have. I'm glad your YouTube is working now, but that doesn't mean you have fixed a Chromecast issue because they are targeting different endpoints.
I will let those of you who care do some research on your own as to how all these things are different if you really want to understand what is going on.
DIAL protocol
Casting, DIAL, Airplay, etc. and Fire.
Chromecast change from DIAL to mDNS

I've had the S9+ a month or more now.. casting videos has always worked for me. I can do it from Home, from YouTube, Plex, and I also have used Videostream. All work fine.
Casting works fine for me except for Plex for some reason
I'm running into issues with my S9+ and Chromecasts as well. Sometimes my S9+ doesn't detect my Chromecasts until I reconnect to my wireless. This goes for Youtube, Hulu, Netflix, even the Google Home app. This has never been an issue before and the only thing that has changed has been my new S9+.
The S9 cannot mirror to Chromecast. Samsung has stated this time and again. It has to do with Oreo and the processor in the S9.
Seems ridiculous that I spent $800 on a flagship phone and have to use a 5 year old LG phone to cast Spectrum cable to my television.
Chromecast has worked on my S6, S7 & S8, but NOT on my S9+ OR the Note9. Really sucks... Anyone figured out a REAL fix yet?
Hi Guys,
I have problem with my pocophone native cast app, it does not detect my android tv which i just bought online few days ago. Im pretty sure the problem is not in the tv since i tested it to connect with my other phone and cast connected just fine. I also tested some other tv on the electronic store, my pocophone also did not detect several other brand on the store while the rest tv like samsung and lg connected just fine.
I googled this issue and found the alternative of using app called activity launcher then launch the android native casting app (wireless display) and it detect my tv but its quite laggy and i cannot turn off the screen while casting like i did in miui casting app.
I wonder if any of you face the same issue and anyone can figure it out? Im running the latest miui 11 global stable anyway.
Thanks before.

Seems have last been here. Recently I picked up a pixel 6. I'm thinking it had all the functionality I need. Long story short. Went to a meeting and try to cast information to the screens and lo and behold. I needed a Google Chromecast dongle. My previous phone's all had miracasts. Is there a way to install Miracast on a pixel 6? I did look through the forums. I couldn't find anything specifically speaking to this

I'd like to have it too.
I just moved to a pixel as my old phone was too old and apps wouldn't support it anymore, but in that one miracast just works. It's total BS that a phone that costs 450-800 euros (depending upon the exact model) just cannot connect to any tv with a standard connection protocol.
I discovered AirBeamTv apps which provide screen casting support but they're quite slow and need an app on both tv and device which is not the best solution and not every smart-tv brand is covered.

It depends on what type of content you want to mirror. If it's DMCA protected content, then you might need a dongle plug in, like Fire Stick, Roku, or other. I use fire Stick, for my Amazon prime videos content, which I then add apps like Hulu to it. Now, since I don't have home WiFi, I use my hotspot for internet connection, for Fire Stick, which is a part of my carrier unlimited plan. Now, if you are only interested in mirroring non-DMCA content, like your own pictures, videos, or browser screen? Then you might need a different dongle. I bought a cheep mirrorcast dongle online, which worked just fine for non-DMCA content.
To my knowledge, Miracast support was dropped out of Android from 6.0 onwards, but most other (not Google) manufacturers have it baked in as one form or another in their ROMs still. Google however does not support any form of Miracast on any of their first party phones, only Google Cast (which I think is Chromecast basically but don't quote me on that), which is proprietary and not compatible with Miracast.
I have tried on a Pixel 3a, 3a XL and a 6 but neither one works with Miracast on stock android.

Can confirm it's good and it's free and it does what it says. It does need some additional setup and relies on adb so I don't think it'd work for something like a TV.
