I am looking at this "cast screen" option on my oneplus 2. I want to share my phone's screen to another phone which also has the cast screen option. I clicked on the cast screen option, checked the wireless display to on , put wifi direct to ON on both the devices but still I see only the message "no devices found". so could anyone guide or help me with this issue? Basically I want to connect two smartphones using the cast screen option.
I did a quick google but for devices to receive a screen cast is to use an app that accepts it from the casting device. E.g. using chromecast to accept the main phones cast.
I may be wrong as i had only ever used this feature before on my smart tv.

Does not work this way and there probably isnt an easy way.

I think is not useful that implementation
I mean why you would cast your screen to another mobile, isn't faster to lend your phone?
Your privacy is the concern use screen pining while lending your phone.

I have the 7.7 for a few days now and I'm finding it an incredible tab, one that is providing exactly what I've bough it for.
There are 2 issues though...
1. I am finding the overall sound level, as output from the headphones jack, a bit low, even with both the system and apps levels set to the max...What are your experiences on this? (...my comparison benchmark is my previous GT-P1000, running GB).
2. The stock browser seems to hung-up a lot, up to the point of becoming a serious nuisance.
This seems to happen only when using Wi-Fi and, even then, only in some networks.
At home, I had no problems both under G3 and my home Wi-Fi network but, right now, I am writing this in my laptop connected to the exact same hotel lobby Wi-Fi network as the 7.7, which is resting right beside the laptop.
While the laptop is running smooth the tab keeps hanging up and timing out.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

One question for those of more "tech-inclined"...I've noticed that many sites automatically offer a mobile version of their site, when accessed with my tabs.
This must surely mean that the tabs identify themselves, somehow, as such.
There a a lot of devices connected to the the hotel lobby where I am at the moment (...I can see users all over, just by looking around...)
Is it possible that a Wi-Fi hotspot access point discriminates access speed, based on the type of device that has established the connection. Could that account for the noticeable difference in access speed I am getting right now between the 2 devices?
Thanks!

Try voodoo louder if you are rooted and have international 7.7. Will fix your headphone output.
Xk it is the user agent in the http headers sent by your browser that distinguishes what type of device you are using otherwise there is no traditional way to identify device.
The lag you may be experiencing may be from Javascript processing which is probably much stronger on your laptop

Thank you !
Rooted my 7.7 and installed Voodoo Louder, for just 1 EUR (Voodoo Sound Plus wouldn't work. incompatible kernel, apparently...)
Cranked Voodoo Louder all the way (+9dB) and, presto!...now I can't dial "normal" levels in the system or app and still have headroom.
Happy !

The router could be able to identify devices, but the connection problem might due to user agent. Of course the clause of the problem is unsure, but let say this is one direction you could look into.
Each browser will identify themselves by user agent. The website might give different content according to the user agent. For example, it would give iPhone version of the website when the browser's user agent is, say, "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3"
You may check your user agent here: http://whatsmyuseragent.com/
Many browsers give you an option to change user agent. I'm using Overskreen browser (paid app), which has very convenient option to switch itself to "Desktop Mode", and allow me to browse as if I'm browsing in PC/laptop. Other browser, default or Dolphin HD, should have this option as well, but I'm not sure yet as I'm not using them that often.
I will update you when I found it.

OK XK I found where to change the User Agent in Dolphin Browser HD. (Sorry without luck with default one)
First you open Dolphin Browser HD --> press the setting button at the bottom bar provided by SGT7.7 --> press "More" --> press "Settings" --> press "Dolphin Settings" --> Select "User Agent" right below "Show menu bar" --> Choose "Desktop".
I found that my default is already "Desktop". I'm not sure if I have set it before or it comes as is.
Good luck.
Thank you for your help
I've traveled back home now and I am not sure it is a GT-P6800 problem (...or at least exclusively its fault...). I really think it has to do with the particular Wi-Fi net work it is connected to.
1. It was not a browser problem, since all other apps requiring an up-link (i.e. email) also kept hanging up and timing out, back at that hotel I was staying in, while the laptop was connecting flawlessly.
2. Other Wi-Fi networks (i.e. in the airport, back at home, in a café yesterday) provide normal connections, some a bit slower but that's to be expected.
If this a "certain Wi-Fis, with certain devices" problem and the GT-P6800 is one of such devices then it will be a bit of a bummer because it will be difficult to pinpoint and report accurately to Samsung or third party developers for proper fixing.
Meanwhile, frequent travelers like myself, who can't count on European 3G data services on account of the exorbitant charges (...I wonder when will the EC crack down on to that...It used to be like that with voice roaming also, until the EC put a stop to that exploitation...) and have to rely on occasional/opportunity Wi-Fi hotspots will be drawing a lottery as to weather any particular Wi-Fi will work OK with the 7.7, or not.
Anyway this is a small, small drawback for an otherwise outstanding tablet.
I've just received my 64Gb card and the Samsung book-cover and am just pending on receiving the USB OTG reader to close this "migration".
I am very, very happy with the device

Have you checked the wifi disconnection setting? I am sure the default is 'never', but u better check again. (Attached is the screenshot in Chinese to show you where the setting is)

Yes, thanks...I already had it set like that right from when initially setting up my tab.
One strange thing (I've also seen referenced in other threads, by other users) is that, when in the Wi-fi page in the Settings section, I can see the device scanning for networks about every 5 seconds, even when firmly connected to one (as with my home network, right now)....odd...
Anyway, I am not worried with this anymore, for the moment...
My current endeavor is how to make the device recognize my new 64GB MicroSD card.
The tab won't even recognize it for mounting, so I tried to format it in Windows 7 but it will only offer the options for either exFAT or NTFS file systems. I tried NFTS and followed the procedure outlined here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552674
No luck.
The "Mount Drive" app lets me mount the drive and, when finished, shows the drive as mounted but it is still invisible for the system file manager.
Let's see if I can find a way to turn things around and format it in FAT32.

Hello,
I bought a Nexus Q off eBay and it came in today. I got it plugged in to my TV but after the setup was completed, I'm unable to connect to the device through both my phone and tablet. The TV just outputs a blue circle. In the Nexus Q app, it has "Living Room" and underneath "Not available". When I try the "Update Network" option, it's unable to find it via Bluetooth although it sees it in the bluetooth device list as "3 Nexus Q" (#0099cc-#0099cc)
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 running CM10.0.0 and my tablet is an Asus Transformer tf101 stock image (v4.0.1 iirc). I've even reset my router, an Asus RT-N12B1.
I've tried flashing with the factory image provided here developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#tungsten
and still nothing. I can reinstall the app and factory reset the device and go through the setup successfully, but once it's done, it doesn't see it.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Did I just buy a pretty paperweight?
Did you happen to try and reset the Q power the orb on and place your palm over the touch sensor. The ring should turn red hold your hand on it until the ring turns blue and release. It should now be reset to factory setting and you can try and repair with the phone.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Yep, I've done that. I'm going to take it to work to see if it's my WiFi to rule one more thing out.
EDIT: Tested at work on a different WiFi and it's the same result.
I had this same issue.
I fixed it by removing the device from my account via the app on my phone or tablet.
A simple reset of the app won't remove it since it is tied to your Google account.
After successfully removing the Q from my account, I cleared data for the app, and restarted my device.
Before I repaired it to the Q, I preformed a reset on the Q by placing my hand over it and plugging in the power cord.
Lastly I repaired the Q with my device as if it was a brand new device.
I noticed that there were problems if trying to do an initial pair with 5GHz WiFi. I had my phone connected to the 2.4GHz band when I pro formed the pair.
I don't believe the Q supports the 5GHz band, so don't try to pair with it.
You can shift to it on your phone or tablet after you pair, but if you don't have a 2.4GHz network connected to the Q, it won't see your devices once paired.

Some routers have a firewall built in that doesn't allow devices to talk to each other through the router, which the Q requires. I can also set mine up at work, but because of this firewall (which most workplaces implement) i couldn't actually play with the Q. Are you familiar with the "ping" command? In your tablet and your phone you should be able to find your ip addresses, hopefully something like 192.168.1.102. if you get an app from the market (terminal emulator will do i believe) try pinging one device from the other. Even if its successful you shouldn't see anything on the pinged device, just a response from the pinged device on your pinging device. If this says "response timed out" or something similar your devices cannot see each other across your wifi, and thusly not see each other once the bluetooth connection is terminated after initial set up.
If that doesn't work I'll buy it
brain dump on Q connectivity
Connectivity is a problem with the Q no question - but once you finally get it connection it's fine. I have 2 of them, and one seems to work much better than the other for some reason.
Here are some things I've done to troubleshoot these issues (some of this may be completely unnecessary but it works for me)
1 - Completely uninstall music, youtube, play movies, and nexus q app from your phone. It seems like this actually has some impact although I'm not sure why.
2 - Factory reset the Q - do this by placing your hand over it and then unplug and plug the q back in. Eventually it will do a factory reset.
3 - Check if your router supports DD-WRT by typing your model number in here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
If it does flash it! This was the single biggest improvement in connectivity I observed but this might just be an issue with my specific router.
4 - Try again and again and again. I've seen it not connect to the Q the first 25 times and then suddenly work. Ridiculous.
A note on DD-WRT - I am using a DLink DIR-615. I constantly have connection issues and also 'there was a problem with the network' when trying to play youtube videos at times. I tried tweaking settings in the router for hours and finally flashed DDWRT on my router. As soon as I did, the network connection errors went away and it seems to have made connectivity much better as well.
It's working! Thanks, everyone!
I flashed DD-WRT on my router, something I've been meaning to do for a while. I uninstalled the Nexus Q, Google Video and Music apps, and the updates for Market and Play Services on my phone. Factory-reset the Nexus Q and finally reinstalled just Nexus Q app, and let it prompt me to install the other apps. It worked the first time. I'm certain it was the router firmware as I've done everything else before.
I'm having similar issues. I've been trouble shooting now for a few hours and I have a headache from it all. Factory resets, uninstalls, nothing. I download terminal emulator to ping a packet and it looks good.
Sometimes the "My Home" collection is found sometime it's unavailable. When it's showing unavailable I click on the notice, and then click more, and it immediately says "the collection has been found on the network".
My bedroom nexus q is not available. I hate networking ****. I'm beginning to understand why they killed this thing, it's a shame it looks so beautiful.
Well I called the nexus support hotline, and they are all but incompetent. "If you tried a master reset and it's still not working the unit must be defective." The guy also tried to tell me the "My Home" collection was my wifi. I'm thinking about just throwing it back on ebay.

Hello,
I have tried yesterday to share a big file via wifi direct between Nexus 4 and a Galaxy S3. I could establish a connection between the 2 devices, but there is no way to share a file without a third party app that have be install on the 2 devices!!! On the Nexus 4 there was no point "Wifi Direct" under "sharing" to send a file. On the S3 there was the point "Wifi direct". But If I send a file, there come "waiting for receiver", but on my Nexus 4 doesn't come any notification to confirm the recipience. Isn't wifi direct a standard, that should work between all devices?!
Is the really no possibility to share a file via wifi direct between 2 devices without 3rd party apps only with on board resources?
I am reallly little bit disappointed from the Nexus 4. OTG doesn't work, wifi direct can share and receive any files.
Works wifi direct on CM10.1? Can you send files there?
Regards
Greg

i think s-beam is proprietary. while it uses wifi direct.... it will only be compatible with other samsung devices. so yah... you would essentially need and app on both. i am just making an educated guess here and am only posting so ill be subbed and be able to keep track of what unfolds.
Yeah, I think Samsung's version is called s beam, I'm guessing the proprietary version is overriding WiFi direct.. Maybe try turning on both the NFC and WiFi direct at the same time? I'll experiment with my tablet and phone to see.

But S-beam is using NFC and wifi direct and both phones has to be very near together or not. I want send a file over a longer distance e.g 3 meters only over wifi direct.

Is there a way to spoof my phone to make it appear to be on the network it's broadcasting when I have the hotspot turned on so that I can use screen mirroring? I want to be able to use it with my Roku 3 but when I try to enable screen mirroring I get the message telling me that the WiFi hotspot will be automatically turned off. Any ideas/solutions will be appreciated. Thanks.
u trying to screen mirror over the hotspot through your roku?
Yes, when I'm using my hotspot in my phone and try to turn on screen mirroring it automatically turns off the hotspot. Is there any way to avoid this?

As far as I know and understand, screen mirroring requires the use of the wireless nic (WiFi card) in your phone. I know Chromecast does this and I think AllShare cast also (as does Apple TV/AirPlay). That's just how the device communicates with the receiver... via the wireless network.
As long as hotspot is enabled, the wnic is in use and other services that rely on it wouldn't be able to use it.
Hi there,
I am able to do screen mirroring with a TV miracast and/or an android tv box when I share pictures or videos stored on my smartphone but I am not able for instance to do it with apps like Youtube or Amazon prime video that need network. At least I’m not with an official Samsung ROM or with rom LineageOS 13.
Being connected to network using only Wi-fi: for what I could test when tried to share with rom ‘LineageOS 13’, as the device uses ‘Wi-Fi direct’ feature, as the rom official, this option disables the Wi-Fi network connection and for that reason the sharing cannot happen, unless I had another option to be connected to network (3G/4G network), option that I want to avoid.
As you may know, other devices have this option available using only Wi-fi: I mean, doing screen mirroring with Youtube or Amazon prime video apps.
Do you know if this feature is something related with hardware or can be managed by software, for instance with another Rom version?
Please let me know if the question is not clear.
Thanks.
Anyone did the same question?
Sorry man Miracast/DLNA is a hardware feature so you cannot screen mirror.
