Display Mirroring Smartphone to FireTV

Hi together,
is there any app or possibility to use a display mirroring app/standard (like miracast) to share the smartphone screen on the fire tv? I am using a LG G3 with stock rom and it supports miracast. Until now i haven't found any solution, only a youtube video without explanations.

AllCast doesn't actually mirror, it just sends certain content from the phone to the device. That said its the closest thing I have found so far.

This app is for Iphone (ios) not Android as far as I can tell. We are looking for something that works for mirroring from an Android phone.

Read the last few pages of the tgread I posted. You need to go to waxrains website and download thier sender app. Just read the thread its all there.

Here is the app in the playstore. You can also dowload the app in the firetv store. Obviously the firetv version is tge one you want. The go to waxrains website and look for their android sender apk. Install that on your phone. Then.in the settings enable screen mirroring.

It does actually. You need to find the beta mirror apk that koush released several months ago. I had it working awhile back.
Edit - file name is Mirror_1.0.1.7.apk if it helps.

Didn't work with an Xperia Z2 or a One+ One. The options to mirror are grayed out unfortunately. I think I'll e-mail the app developer and see what he has to say.

Apk file attached. Moderators please remove this if necessary.
Make sure to install allcast on the firetv. It will add an option I think in the system settings to mirror to the TV.

So install mirror on the phone?

No problem. Again thanks for taking the time to upload the apk.

No problem. Just checked on my tablet too where I know it was working a month or so ago (nothing had changed on my tablet) and it's not working either. I wonder if the beta file had an expiration date. I think koush has done that in the past with some of his releases.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Didn't work for me either. Just crashed back to the home screen on my One+ One and my Xperia Z2. I don't have either of them rooted yet so that might be the issue, or there could have been a timer in the beta as mentioned. With the airplay/dlna app for the Fire TV the developer got back to me and said the phone needs to be rooted to enable mirroring for his androidsender apk to work so I will try rooting my One+ and see how that goes. He did mention the feature is very experimental at this stage.

Sky+ App Issue

Anyone in the uk got the sky+ App installed on the 6p and connected successfully with their box to view the planner etc.

I think you are right. I briefly had a nexus 5x and had the same issue with sky+ App.
I emailed sky App support but they weren't very helpful.

Call recording app that works with this phone?

Hey all!
My old call recorder app that i used on my nexus 5 doesn't work here.
Can anyone say what app they are using and what special configuration is needed (if any)?
Thank you very much.

Could you try Skvalex's Call recorder set to CAF recording mode?
There is a trial version you can download here on XDA (just search skvalex)
This worked perfectly on my previous gen Moto X. I just ordered the Pure edition and it hasn't arrived yet. I'm anxious to find a call recording solution as well. I'm hopeful that Skvalex's app will work.

Skvalex's call recorder is confirmed to work with the settings mentioned in that post. Excellent.

This one works. You just need root first.

Facebook app HD video

Hey guys.
Today I was fiddling with my friends s7 edge's Facebook app settings and saw that he has an option to Upload videos on the app with HD resolution, and I only have the option to Upload photos. We are on the same version of the app and both on the s7 edge. I'm running on 7.0 at the moment, but on MM there was never the option either.
Anyone knows how I can have the option? Thanks

I can confirm I only have the option to upload photos in HD and not videos, I'm also on Nougat and have the same version of FB installed....iirc I used to have the option.
I have read online from what others have posted and the only way to upload videos in HD on Android is via Chrome when in desktop mode, I haven't tried this and it also doesn't explain why your friend can, it's pretty bizarre!

This Is my friend's option list. I don't have Neither the video option nor the search for updates "atualizacoes de app"
How weird is this... lol
I can't also find the stock app that comes with the phone either, since Maybe that's what he has and just updated. I don't know

Interesting, he's not a beta tester is he? Although I'd imagine it would be a different version number.

Nothing... I signed up for the beta 30 minutes ago to see if I can get the option though.
I guess he is one lucky guy, lol

I also have this option.
My app is version 102.0.0.28.70

Is there anyway you can make an apk out of your app? I even downloaded the beta and still have nothing.
I don't understand how on the same device running the same app we can have different options...

Installed the apk, which on boot even said that it could not load portuguese language (mine) and i still dont have the setting. How messed up is this xD
wiped cache and data from the app before I uninstalled previous to installing yours.
I guess I give up =/

Ok guys, so I found this and I think it's it
"The latest version of that app loaded with this neat capability now sits at 68.0.0.37.59. However, a report from Android Police, which initially shared the news, says that Facebook seems to be rolling out this new functionality as a server-side switch. This means that not all of its users who have updated the app to the most recent version see this particular option."
No hd from the app for us yet.
Thank you guys anyway

Google Dialer app

Can anyone help me out how I can get the google phone/dialer app on our 6T. I have the T-MO version and obviously it's not yet unlockable. Is there a non-rooted version of the google dialer? I just hate the stupid dialer and sms apps that come with the stock OS.
It's upsetting that OnePlus doesn't allow us to install it from the Store. We should have the freedom of choosing what works best for us.

You could search apk mirror for the google dialer. Just search google dialer apk and you should see a website not too far down called APK Mirror.
Not sure if allowed, but try this one. (Mod, if this needs to be removed, please let me know or feel free to do so, thanks)

What's the solution? Just picked up my 6T and would prefer the Google phone and contacts.

Try the last beta from the following thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218.
Change the app to default phone app to get the visual vm tab after installing

Hey ozzmanj1, can you please let me know the solution as well? Thank you.

Out of interest what makes Google Dialer/Phone & Contacts so popular with people ?

The search in dialer works very well, it can be the fastest way to get a number for a local place. The spam block is somewhat less effective but still a lot better than nothing. I'm looking forward to getting the screening which I suspect will be coming our way. I sent my Pixel 3 XL back and that's one of the things I'm missing.

Version 25 is working great

The apps are more streamlined and fit better with the overall Google environment. Not to mention call blocking feature and scam call screening is amazing

Yeah, they've said that about a number of features but we had the stuff pretty quickly; sometimes within weeks. The force is strong with our developers! I'm sure you're aware of that, I'm just stating my agreement. In a way it's kind of sad; the stock dialer is pretty good, it just lacks a few killer features. Who know, maybe the one plus 7 will see some improvements in this area?

The link that has been posted kindly above:

Is definitely the one to use/follow for Google Phone/Dialer from here on in, unless notified otherwise, is that correct ?
