Hey guys, I saw a video on youtube showing a verizon note 4 using chromecast. The option for screen mirroring was in the menu and he was able to mirror the phone screen onto the tv. I bought a chromecast today but there is no cast screen option. Anyone manage to get cast screen option without root?

Yes I am looking for the same. Found this link http://chromecast.wonderhowto.com/h...rooted-android-device-running-kitkat-0156212/ but don't want to install this app yet.
Thanks for the link, I am going to root in a few days time anyway when I get some free time. Being able to screen cast is really awesome.

Screencast is a must but I'm gonna wait for lollipop to root
Finally rooted in anticipation of sweet rom, screen cast is working really well even when streaming xbmc videos.

I thought it would be kind of cool, so I went through the programming and set it up for my LG V and my time warner high def cable box.
Everything seemed to work, but now all it will do is change the channel on the box. The volume doesn't work, and if I go to turn off the TV it comes up with a screen asking which device I want to control but won't let me select either one.
I'm using it on a Samsung tv and a Comcast set top box, and it's working great for me.
ILO tv & comcast box. works great.
Lg and Panasonic tvs, both with com cast boxes are a no go.

Comcast box and Hisense tv, working.
Also have tvs at work, LG, all working (Around 10) with the same code sent on one of the tvs.
Pretty happy with this as now I can control my work TVs without having to fumble around with remotes.
Two different Samsung TV models & two FIOS Multi-Room DVR's...all working great. Volume doesn't work, but that's because it's controlled by my surround sound system.
Mine's the same way. Got cable working but now no volume.
It works with my LG TV. I have a Comcast X1 and am able to change channels, but a lot of other buttons like menu and DVR don't work. Going to give the setup another go tomorrow.

I actually disabled it. I never used the app but apparently it was running in the background and I kept getting force close messages.
I can get everything to work beside the volume on my Demon AV receiver. I can get it to turn on and off but not the volume. Can anyone give me advice on doing this?

Try again man but this time instead of picking comcast for the brand of set top box, go to other brands and scroll to find the actual company who made the box. For example I have comcast xfyinity cable as well and my 1st set up failed selecting "comcast" as the brand so I looked at my receiver and it was made by Scientific Atlantic or some shat like that lol. But it worked choosing it that way. Hope this helps u?

ive got the same problem. i believe it is a blue tooth problem.
only happens when i have my bluetooth on. very strange
and yes screen mirroring is off.
Youtube grayed out
I've disabled screen mirroring several times but it activates on its on for whatever reason.
I simply uninstalled the youtube updates and the issue has ceased.
I'll wait for a new youtube update before updating again and hopefully they will have fixed the nagging issue.
What I did was, first turn off bluetooth then open the Youtube App. Finally, turn on bluetooth and use as normal.
One reason I got this tablet was to try miracast. I picked up a Panasonic. Blue ray player that supports miracast. It was easy to configure and works great! I don't know why but was surprised that it sends the sound also.

Google is your friend:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast
Isn't this Miracast that requires the screen to be on all the time ?

Yes, it appears that the screen must be on to enable screen mirroring. That is OK for me. I have it on right now with my 50" plasma TV and using my bluetooth keyboard. I just use the tablet kind of like a mouse pad since I don't know how to naviigate to everything with the keyboard.

Can use app Screen Standby to cut the signal to the screen. Funny is you can still tap
Hi all. I have a question.
Is there a way to stream content to tv via screen mirroring but with locked screen(to spare battery)?
Thank you
There is an app but its a little buggy on note 4: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...by+root&pcampaignid=APPU_ZqNvVIHQPNPuaMHGgegI
Apart from this I have found none yet

Hello. I know Samsung dropped support for MHL supposedly so people wanting to use their phones on their TVs could just buy Samsung TVs and cast their screens over using adapters. First of all, that's so lame, second of all there has to be another way to cast my phone on my 60inch (not a Samsung, a Sony) without having to hack a Chromecast or Fire adapter. With my Sony z3 I had a mhl cable, I could connect my Bluetooth controller and play NBA Jam on my TV. Does anyone else know another way to do this on the s7?

Why would you need to hack a chromecast?

It was poor sarcasm i guess. I didn't literally mean hack a chromcast....
The Chromecast app has native support for casting your entire phone screen to a Chromecast. As long as your internet connection is solid, there will be little to no lag. It was an experimental feature for a while, but has seen much refinement.
Also if you have a smart tv there almost always is a screen cast option just they all use different names for the method
