Is anyone able to mirror their Nexus 6p's screen on a Samsung smart TV
I have tried the build.prop method it doesn't work
Any help is appreciated
I use pure nexus rom and it works perfectly. First change your source on your TV to Screen Mirroring and enable cast on your phone. Works everytime for me

Root your phone and edit build prop. Just add this line
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1

OK I went back to PureNexus and it worked
Although its bad that it doesn't work on N
do you actually need to mirror?
if not the samsung smart view app will show all your pics/vidz/etc just fine.

Thanks in advance

Nope. I successfully connected my Nexus 4 to my 55' F6500 last fall. After i updated to Kitkat (vanilla and CM11 tested) screen mirroring stopped working.
Same with my Sony Xperia Tablet Z. Worked with 4.1.2 - stopped working with Kitkat.
It seems liek samsing TV's don't like Kitkat right now.
Allso a Slimport cable will do.
Hey guys I just noticed yesterday in the display options is an option called cast screen. When pressing this option it says no devices found.
My question is with this option available does this mean I can mirror my tablet to my tv? And if so will chromecast support this or do I need a miracast adaptor?
I have the first nexus 7(2012) model on 4.4.2
Thanks in advance

I have the same question. I noticed this option on my Nexus 5 but not sure if it was there on 4.4 or showed up on 4.4.1 or 4.4.2. Hopefully somebody chimes in.

I tried to get it working with my Netgear PTV3000, but it wouldn't work. I'm assuming it only works with a Chromecast adapter.

Just Google. Android display setting cast screen
....the answer is there...forthcoming screen mirroring for Chromecast.
I read two sources stating that chromecast will soon have screen mirroring but how reliable are the sources? I have ordered one anyway so hopefully mirroring does come to chromecast. Until then I'm happy to view what's available so far

Cast screen works perfectly between Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 and Sony 42W650A... Sometimes, the connection fails while casting but hey, it works
It is supposed to be Miracast. If you have a receiving device that supports it, it should work.
Cast screen isnt only for Chormecast, its for all Miracast devices. I have 2013 Smart Tv from Samsung and SGS4 i9505 with CM11 and still cant get it working. I managed it only one times, and I dont know how :crying: (I had in developer options turned on Wireless display certification, and then in Cast screen option have many more options, but i dont know working combination now)
Anyone can help?

New Cast Screen option (4.4.2) replaces the Wireless Display option which was there (on Moto X) before KK. [Settings/Display/Wireless Display]...
It works on my Nexus 7 2013 to cast to my LG Smart TV 42LN575V....the screen is mirrored perfectly, in Miracast mode, not Chromecast, direct mirror of phone screen on TV.
Cast not working on Vivokat 4.4.2 (Incredible S)
My Incredible S with Vivokat 4.4.2 build #4 can't see my WiFi dongle (T516 from W2Corp). This dongle works with DLNA, Airplay and Miracast. The phone can't see my computer with Airplay server running as well. If I use any application such as iMediaShare or Streambels, Airplay works as it should, both to the computer and to my dongle. I am not fully aware of what Cast ought to support. Is it only Miracast or is it both Miracast, Chromecast and Airplay. Can anyone help clear this and have any good idea on how I get Cast to see my devices?

Did it work with Chromecast? That's the only reason why I want to get one.
Just an fyi for anyone looking at this thread or the OP this is now available after the chromecast update yesterday
I didn't realise this was supposed to be working with the n7 2012, bit it worked for me this evening! Anyone else?
Chromecast Mirroring support didn't work for me on my Nexus 7 2012 that I upgraded to 4.4.4 last night. It does work on my Note 3 phone however and works well.
The google support page says that it has support for the Nexus 7 2013 version though. I don't know anyone that has one though to see if that is true.
The Wireless Display/Cast Screen under Display Settings is MiraCast only. I just tried it with my Chromecast and it doesn't work. You can only mirror your screen to Chromecast by using the latest Chromecast app.
On some devices, screen mirroring is disabled in the Chromecast app, but you can use this app here to enable it

Hello,
A bought a new LG tv with wifi direct. I can't cast my phone screen to the TV. It worked flawlessly on kitkat, so i guess google took away the feature, to force us to use their stupid chromecast thing (why the hell would i want that if i have a wifi enabled tv??). Is there a way to do it in lollipop? I must say that i'm very disappointed in google. They keep removing useful features.
In the pull down menu in Lollipop it is called "Cast Screen". Works with my Fire TV.

I have a LG TV with wifi direct. Many devices work flawlessly with miracast including the nexus 4. Only one was unable to which was windows lumia 625. Might be problem with the phone itself.
btw Are you using any old ported rom? You need to have new binaries for wireless display to work flawlessly
Hello,
Just got the Nexus 6P , after years with Samsung note series... I was wondering , is there anyway in Nexus 6P to do screen mirroring over the wifi ? without any dongle?
I tried the Cast option , but it did not recognize my Sony tv which is connected to the same WIFI network, while the Samsung note had that "screen mirroring" option built in, is there anything equivalent in the Nexus?
Thanks, :good:

The cast option is designed to be used with a Chromecast. Some TVs and other video devices will register as Chromecast for some things, but not all. For example, my Vizio Smart TV shows up in the list of devices I can cast to in Netflix, but all it does is launch the Netflix app on the TV. I can't actually cast to it and control it from my phone like I can with an actual Chromecast.
Nexus devices on do Chromecast by default. If you want Miracast then you need root and to modify the build.prop file to enable it.
I can verify that if you root your Nexus 6P and add the following line to your build.prop, it will work with miracast devices. I just had it working with my screen beam pro that I bought to cast my Nvidia Shield Portable.

Actually it is built in! I just hooked up to my Samsung TV. Go to "Cast", tap the three dots, check enable wireless display (make sure the mirroring function on your TV is on). Bam! your connected.

This is not available on Nexus 6P (and Nexus 6 too) on stock.
I wonder why Google removed this and made it such that users have to root in order to activate Miracast....
Because they want you to use Chromecast, which is very Apple Esq of them

I can only think of this being the reason.....
I think the main reason why it is disabled by default is because Wi-Di (as Intel likes to call it) requires "certified" hardware to allow you to mirror your screen over Wi-Fi.
Same for PCs... you need a certified Wireless Network Card to enable Windows 8-10 to mirror your screen to a Miracast Receiver.
TL;DR: Don't blame Google for this..!
Not really the excuse, LG had pretty much the exact same model as the N5 which had it on as default, so the hardware was certifiable in that case. Pretty sure other Hauewi devices are also certified. Far more likely to be Google pushing Chromecast.
Well that sucks that we have to modify build.prop to get Miracast mirroring to work. I was hoping to do the "systemless" root so I could take updates easier. I use ARU Unchained with my Pioneer NEX car stereo to mirror my phone, so I can use all the functions of the phone directly on the NEX. I have a Screen Beam. All works great with my rooted S5. I have not received my 6P yet, but I have a tracking number. Good to know in advance, I guess. Not sure if this is a show stopper for me or not, but I'm sure not happy about it.
I can confirm it works out of the box on a Samsung j series 4k smart tv. I just had to pair with the tv through the wifi direct menu.
I was able to connect using direct WiFi but how do you share screen after that?

I think you need Chromecast in order to simply mirror the screen. But you can actually mirror the content most content that is to most Smart TV's

I don't want to root it, I saw someone posted that it worked by connecting direct wi-fi so was wondering if there is anyway but looks like 2 options are chromecast or rooting unless someone can help suggest connecting using direct wi-fi.

Yes, those are your two options. And if you go Chromecast, you can't start mirroring without a data connection. That was the killer for me, I needed to be able to mirror in remote places with no data signal.
That cast is useless. How can google do that?

Wondering if someone has it to flash on my 6P so that I can Screen Mirror to my Samsung TV's with out needing Chrome Cast .. Thanks

You will need to tell us the type of samsung tv it is and what casting it uses natively. As in does it have a app built in that is for casting/mirroring
Without that information we can't really help you to be honest.
Isn't casting native on the nexus ? Settings , display, cast ?
If you want to enable miracast mirroring just add this line to your build.prop
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1

It's a Samsung 5500 series smart TV. And the option on the TV is called Screen Mirroring it worked great with my M9 HTC Connect but with this 6P on my network it doesn't show the TV in Cast..
On the Samsung remote I click Source and the on the TV I scroll over to Screen Mirroring.

Yes I found this out while googling but still if I add the edit I still need to purchase a device to Cast. I'm wanting to Cast directly to the TV to play website videos to it without having to buy cables or another device.

No BC it's my understanding that once I do the Build.prop edit that I still need to buy a device for Miracast to connect to to Cast to my TV..
Unless I'm wrong

Doing the build.prop edit will most likely work for you. Miracast is more of a streaming protocol that most tvs (most samsung tvs) that have screen casting/mirroring built in, use. Your HTC had it by default but the n6p technically does not. But can be easily enabled via the aforementioned build.prop edit.
OK I did the Build.prop edit and now when I open Cast I now have Enable wireless Network which I checked it but still doesn't see the TV ..grrr
I even downloaded AllShare app by clockwork mod and it doesn't see the TV either...
But the kicker is that my wife's Note 3 has AllShare / Mirroring built into it and it doesn't see the TV either on the network..
Surely I don't need internet on the network for it to work ?
It's a att uverse router maybe I orta ditch it and hook up my Belkin gaming router n C if it's the att wireless router causing the issue...
