Desktop Mode on Chormecast - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Hey Everyone.
Recently my Mate 10 pro updated to EMUI 9 Beta. Everything (or the most part) works fine. One of the features I want to use is the wireless desktop mode in my TV, but I only have a normal LED TV with a chromecast plugged in, and doesn't works.
The mate 10 pro does not "see" or "detect" the chormecast when I activate "Screen Projection", but I can do it in others SmartTV.
Someone finds a solution for this issue?
Thanks a Lot. Grettings from Patagonia, Chile.

I don't know much about this casting thing but Desktop Mode works with only miracast supported devices.

FYI: Oreo Beta 4 disables DeX mode using the HP elite X3 lap dock

On Beta 3 (and possibly lower) of Oreo, you could plug your s8 into the HP Elite X3 Lap dock and it would enable full DeX where the keyboard and trackpad would work - enabling your s8 to turn into a pretty damn good laptop.
Unfortunately, I just updated to beta 4 and it completely disables Dex Mode from activating on the Lap dock. All it does now is mirror your screen. However, The keyboard and mouse still do work
Anyone know how to possibly activate it on a non-rooted s8?
Am curious to know if there are any workarounds as well!
Actually, this hurts my feelings so much... I really hoped on using one without the need to root my S8 at all...
You might try using the Sentio desktop application, which is designed to provide the desktop for the Sentio Superbook project.

Cool little app. It is basically just a launcher for screen mirroring though, but works.
I am on a Note 8 running beta Oreo CRA9 and my KSWNG from Amazon works, but it requires power for Dex to load... however when power is attached, my USB port stops functioning. I confirmed this in regular android on my phone. The attached mouse disappears once I add in power.
Anyone else have this issue? All of the videos I've seen, use Dex without power.

I'm not a Note 8 user, but I don't have any problem using dex with power.

Mirror Share to Surface Pro

With the built in Windows Connect app I could mirror share my mate 10 to my Surface Pro. Now all of a sudden, even when launching the Connect app (as before), my phone cannot find my Surface Pro anymore. It worked fine for a while and now nothing and I don't know how to fix it.

Screen mirroring not working

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).

Miui Native Cast Problem

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.
