Galaxy A5 2016 no Miracast? - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I search on google galaxy A5 support Screen Mirroring.
But i dont see on Galaxy A5 2016
Any one can help me plz.

I mailed to Samsung CC and got the following reply:
Dear Mr. Kumar,
You can try using ALLSHARE to connect you handset to TV.
To check that ALLSHARE is available in phone or not, kindly follow the below steps.
Go to setting>application manager>all>allshare.
If ALLSHARE is not available in phone download it from playstore.

Not Found
"Allshare FileShare Service" is the only thing I found in the app manager, but it doesn't seem to be the mirroring feature we are looking after. In the PlayStore there is no such thing as AllShare. Screen Mirroring still missing.

I don't own a A5 2016 but I think this feature is hidden by default. Download a miracast shortcut app (e.g. like this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattgmg.miracastwidget) and open it.
If it searching for a TV then should your device support screen mirroring.

Hi Philbo. I have been around the Net to grasp how the chromecast could work with the A5 2016 but it's still quite ambigious to me.
To my understanding, just some apps through the chrome cast menu can display on a TV screen. Is it same as screen mirroring that's missing from the device? Can we dispaly the whole screen in any activity or am I right assuming that just some apps do?
If you have useful links you think might help, please direct me! Thanks in advance.

According to Samsung official website, Screen Mirroring function is not supported on A5 2016. But it does mention that screen casting thru Chromecast is supported. http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/skp/faq/1096322
Can anyone feedback if it really works thru Chromecast?

You can use the "google home" app to stream your entire display over chromecast. Works pretty well

You could try airdroid, not sure if it will give you all functions that you need though.

What kind of remote control ? Against theft ? For that, the samsung has it's own remote control service. If you have a Samsung account set-up on your Galaxy S3, go to : http://www.samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do
For total remote access, I don't know. But if it's possible, it may create vulnerability on your device (because it will able to receive instructions from other devices).

Airdroid is goof if you just want to use a browser to send text messages etc.
I have mine set up with tasker to fire up automatically when my phone joins the works wifi network. That way I can text all day without ever having to touch my phone
You could also try DroidVNC for more complete control of the device.
Try Moborobo, you can control your phone from Pc as if your phone is on your hands

i would like to know if anyone had the same problems or is it remote controls is not supported for mainland china?
Thanks ... really want to keep track of my phone in case it gets stolen

I am using it and its very good.

It depends on your Smart TV. If it's a Samsung some have BT for use with an external mouse and keyboard. Those that don't you can connect via USB (or use a wireless keyboard that comes with a USB wireless dongle). You can also use your SGS4's keyboard via the SmartView app from Play. Keyboards only work on Samsung controlled parts of the TV interface. They aren't recognized by a lot of the third party apps accessed via Smart Hub.
When you're setting up WatchOn, here's a tip. Don't go through the device set-up process. Instead, make sure the TV and your Samsung mobile device are on the same network and hit the icon shown below. It allows WatchOn to show content from your TV within the app assuming your Smart TV supports it.
This is all meaningless if your Smart TV isn't made by Samsung.
Thanks my tv is samsung, what im trying to do is... for example, watch youtube, and using the search, use my phone as keyboard instead of using the remote pressing the letters 1 by 1. Not sure if that made any sense... i set up the watchon but it doest have the "keyboard" function i was looking for.
RIght now im doing.. seach it on my phone then sync it to the tv-_-

Whatever you're trying to do on the TV has to be keyboard enabled; most non-Samsung apps don't support outside keyboard access and require you to use the keyboard that's provided within the individual app.
Here are two examples. The Web Browser and Samsung Apps support the Samsung keyboard.
If your phone has Smart View installed and is connected to the TV this pops-up whenever the TV's keyboard pops up.
The YouTube app doesn't support the Samsung keyboard so you have to use whatever's provided in the app.
Thanks for the detail explanation.

WatchON's pretty much useless outside of the TV function if you have a Samsung Smart TV. Smart View allows you to control all the other functions and Smart Hub including allowing you to use your device's keyboard vs. the onscreen keyboard. That's what OP was asking about.
Watchon with Cyanogenmod
is there anyway to get Watchon working and installed on Cyanogenmod? I have the APK, says not installed. help!!!!!
Watchon integrates IR remote with your tv program guide (if your cable tv is supported)
for youtube, I used to use youtube remote... an app by youtube to pair your tv and play the videos.
with recent update, that functionality is built in youtube app on the phone. in the app select "Play on" option and you can add your tv to the list.
No. Won't work on AOSP as is (would require major 'rejigging'/porting to get it to work if at all), requires Samsung framework.

[Q] Chromecast Ready to Cast But Goes To Settings Issue

Hey guys,
So I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 and a Google Chromecast. Chromecast finds the device, but when I tap the chromecast device's name where it says "ready to cast," all I get is the settings. THere is no "cast to tv" in the side bar.
Is anyone else having this issue? I just want to mirror my galaxy tab 4 on my tv!!

wowwwwwwww
terrible news. BUt thank you for the link.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8" and my HTC MediaLink works with this device but only for streaming videos and music - but the tablet is not mirrored like on my HTC One phone. Samsung has their own MHL and my generic MHL does not work with my Tab 4. I think Samsung may have their own wireless "medialink" type device.

Is it possible to screen mirror from a Samsung device onto the Shield TV? [SOLVED]

Can you do screen mirror from a Samsung device onto the Shield TV?
Also, dumb question...where is the search forum text field?
Got it!

WHICH DEVICES CAN MIRROR TO SHIELD?
To mirror your Android screen to your TV, your mobile device needs to support Android OS 4.4.2 or higher. For a full list of supported devices and instructions, visit the Google Cast support page.

So, Samsung's Screen Mirror app doesn't work. But, I was able to download the ScreenCast app and use that app and it worked!
-------UPDATE-------
The audio is a bit choppy tho
Tried both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz, both are choppy, even with full bars

Chrome Cast Receiver for Fire TV

Free APK to send chrome cast content (screen cast and tab cast) to your fire tv. It supports any fire tv.
Instructions:
side load the APK to your Fire TV
Version 1.2
This is not my work but it is verified to work and it does not contain any ads or any limitations
Hello!
Thank you very much for this app. I sideloaded on my FTVS and it works great with Spotify. Unfortunately I can't detect it with any other app like Chrome / Youtube... Is this app able to cast only sound?
I was able to test it with chrome tab cast and screen mirroring from Windows computer
Install Google Home on your tablet, phone, whatever and go to cast screen.
This works great. Just gonna keep stuff like roms\emulators on my tablet primarily now.
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for apk. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I have installed your apk and googleHome Cast app. Moreover i installed the google play service for android tv. On my phone and my PC i can see the new "tv-stick-chromecast-device", but i don't can see anything if i try to send something from Phone or PC to the Stick. After opening the Chromecast app i tried to go to cast screen, but there is no device found. What i'm doing wrong, please help me. Thank you.
greetings
Sideloaded also and works perfect!!
Works perfect for me on fire stick 2nd gen nice one is it a full one or a trial ?
VERY cool!
It took me several times to get it to cast but it is works.
I hope this app sticks around longer than the last Google cast app for AFTV.
Does this app require Play Store/Services on the Fire TV device?

Hi josuelopezv:
What's so shameful. Developers give you a convenient to install android box without Google Play Service since you said you already buy it from Google PlayStore. But you leak it as piracy and don't think how many times developers spend to implement the Cast Protocol in house.

I thought this is forbidden/illegal? Shouldnt this thread or at least the APK have been deleted?
I do not have a problem to buy any app that has the right functionality.
Im just not used to see pirated content on here(?)
There is nothing illegal about this.

This doesn't seem to allow cast of youtube. It works fine for everything else though. Was hoping to use this for a workaround for the upcoming youtube app removal.

Same here. Casting from YouTube via Chrome on my laptop doesn't work but casting the whole screen does (never found a use for that though since the quality and latency make it pretty useless)
Yeah since I found a work around for the coming youtube/fire armageddon I'm not concerned. How are you casting the whole screen btw?
Dave
I use Google Home to steam everything and haven't had a hiccup. Even games work fine.
Thanks! I'll give this a shot. How is the apk in this thread different than the one in the play store?
Thanks for posting this. Is there any way to support the developer as this appears to be a premium version?

Why don't you find out for yourself? Kinda seems like a complete waste of time to register just to say this.
This appears to run as a chromecast receiver & NOT as a chromecast Audio receiver. I'm not sure why Google differentiates them but it would be nice to have a toggle in this app.
