Screen mirroring not working with my TV - help

Hello,
I am trying to get screen mirroring working between my LG smart TV and s4. I am sure people will say it can't be done with non Samsung products, but check this link from YouTube. video
The problem I have is that the TV can find my S4, but the phone refuses to find the TV. Is there anything I have missed somewhere?
The TV offered to open a screen mirroring connection to the phone, but the phone never displays a dialogue and the mirroring fails.
Has anyone managed to screen mirror to a device other than Samsung? The TV fully supports dlna and miracast, but it's the miracast screen mirroring I am most interested in.
Thanks,
Andy

Yes, it does work with a LG Smart TV. I have it too. But only if you use a fully stock Rom or a Google Edition Rom like the untouched one from MakTail with it's default kernel. Also cm10.2 Roms are working great with then called Wireless Display. I love my AOSP browser on big screen

ok, so what am i missing? I have a fully stock (saudi arabia S4) and the TV just doesnt show on the S4. The tv can see the phone fine, is there any settings somewhere i might have missed?

It is the other way around. The phone screen should be visible on your TV.

Sorry i should have said it more clearly;
When i select screen mirroring on my S4 the TV does not show as an available to device to mirror to. They are on the same wifi network.
If i scan from the TV for mirror devices then the S4 shows up. The TV attempts to set up a connection but the S4 does nothing.

In you TV settings does the TV show the word Miracast or only WiFi Direct? It only works if your TV really shows Miracast otherwise you can only use apps on your TV like Youtube and casting button.

How does it work then? I am using wifi not wifi direct so surly all traffic on the wifi network is sent via the router?

Ok, so assuming that connectivity works fine, based on the fact the TV can see the phone, why doesnt the phone connect with the miracast compatible tv?

Don't but many devices don't play well with others. Is your TV maybe a "draft" Miracast compliant one??

Cast screen option in display settings

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

Or can someone please explain what this cast screen option is for as I cannot seem to find it on google

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

Screen cast lollipop

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

Android TV Remote Control Can't Connect

Need some advice please...been trying to connect my LG G4 to my Nexus Player via the AndroidTV Remote app and haven't had any success.
I've tried connecting via WiFi and BT but neither work. I can see the device, but upon attempting to Connect via WiFi the screen pauses like it's trying to start a connection, but flickers back to the device list.
Trying via BT pairing I can connect my phone but the App won't launch (even with phone WiFi turned off).
Any suggestions here? The only thing I haven't tried doing is taking my old Logitech Revue off the network to see if there's perhaps some interference with the AndroidTV connector.
Doesn't look like anyone has experienced this issue, on the forums -- would definitely appreciate help as the Nexus Player on-screen keyboard is terribly slow!
Thanks.

Bump!
Same issue here with my Nexus 6p and Nexus player....
Please help!

Yeah don't think I ever solved this one. Moved on to a Nvidia Shield TV, the Android TV remote app works reliably. Good luck!

Flashable Build Prop to enable Screen Mirroring ??

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
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

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.
Thx

Have you tried casting to the tv with the modified miracast option?

I use allcast from play store to cast to my Samsung TV

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...
