decided to give screen mirroring (sharing/casting, etc., seems that manufacturers interchange these terms!) a try for the first time but am not having much luck.... i've enabled screen mirroring on my tv (tcl 4ktv), it detects my galaxy view, which i then select, now what?
when i launch the view's screen mirroring app i just get a page that says: screen sharing - you can share the screens of your other devices with you galaxy view using screen mirroring. device name: galaxy view. nothing else.
so how do i get this to work? or are there 3rd party solutions gv owners are using? thanks!
try downloading Miracast from google play store. That app works on my GVT.
also make sure Power Saving is OFF.

galaxy view does support miracast. though ONLY 720p .
If your TV is set to 1080p, you will get stuck half way on a 'status' screen.
I use miracast on this device with Samsung TV & Roku's and have no issues.
---- Also make sure you have the latest version of Samsungs Quick Connect.

But it only works on JB
Many thanks for that information
Mine is UE40ES6100W and i've no fullscreen/mirroring option on my TV menu.
I've wi-fi direct and it pairs but i just can't do anything that i already done with stock video app, only watch movies and in my case without subtitles so i use BubblePNP wich is excelent for that.
Just for curiosity i've investigated and stumbled into http://www.samygo.tv/
This weekend i'll search a little deeper to see what's this and what can we do with it.

Hey guys,
Just got my chromecast and I m using sàmsung galaxy tab s and Samsung note 4 for screen mirroring. Tab s works perfect but when using the samsung note 4 the screen on the TV is rotated 90 degree and put at the left bottom of screen ( will take a pic and update here ) . I have seen many videos on YouTube where screen cast of chromecast woks perfect with note 4. This is not the case for me for some reason .
Can anyone help me please . I tried deleting the app and redownloding it on note 4 but nothing changed. Side note : when using the supported apps like youtube the screen cast shows the video/image perfect. It's only an issue when I try the screen mirroring . Thanks in advance guys.
I used the trick in the bottom of THIS post to get my MiraCast Dongle working with the native built in Screen Mirroring, no app required, works great.
Simply add the line wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable to your build.prop (put mine at the end) & reboot.

I use stock rom. I can cast screen to my roku and chromecast work perfect. Note that you have to accept agreement in the connect app to enable cast screen.
Thank you
The reason for this research is because i have a Led Tv with native screen mirroring support. I have a moto g 2nd gen. I installed miracast & when i tried to screen mirror with tv it failed, whereas my wife has a samsung a3 & she was able to do screen mirroring without any devices such as roku or chromcast. Then i found out that mirascast or any screen mirroring app will not work on moto g. Hence wanted to check if moto x play will connect with my screen mirroring enabled led tv without roku or chromcast.. really sorry for bugging you.. Thanks fod ur patience..
I keep reading many different things, like any android above kitkat have this, that it's called allshare on Samsung, that you can use bluetooth instead.
Can anyone confirm I can mirror the screen of this phone to my Samsung TV?
Thanks
no you cannot mirror the screen. But you can share photos, video and music through Quick Connect.

Yes, galaxy a can share a screen. Miracast supporting
Is there any way to make apps like: YouTube, WatchESPN, NBC Sports, Dish Anywhere, etc. display full screen video around the camera instead of being cut of. Due to the cut off up top YouTube video's are also cut off at the bottom of the screen slightly.
Really interested in this also! Maybe with root?
I can say that MX Player videos get cropped and I wish they didn't.

Not a problem on DirecTV Now. Did I read that the November security update also addressed this?

Youtube Apk
There is a YouTube modded apk that allows the pinch to zoom feature to work for irregular aspect ratios. Im not 100% sure if this will work on the Essential Phone however it works perfectly fine on the LG G6, it should just crop out some of the video so it can go full screen. Just download the MS Config file and the YouTube apk, dark theme is optional. Unfortunately I cannot post any links as I am a new user, but you can find a link on the LG G6 full screen YouTube thread.

No go, still doesn't work. It does the full screen animation but still shows the black bars.
Yep, me too. Will watch this thread and hope they fix it soon.
Amazon Prime full screen display for 21:9 movies
Saw "Arrival" with Amazon Prime app which utilizes the whole screen including the camera notch bar. Wow! what a sight. Hope Netflix, Hulu and some other video player app can do the same soon.
I'm really upset at the lack of immersive experience. Not a single video app takes advantage of this beautiful screen-- excepting Amazon which is hit or miss with full screen. It seems to differ from video to video...
Anyone know a tweak or a hack to get some immersive support?
Thanks

Another one here watching this ,would love full screen
I guess nada?
I don't know how (and would love to know) but custom ROMS (lineage for example) does the full screen mode.

It super annoying especially when watching videos in Chrome and the nav bar is white and still shows the status bar. If Lineage really does get rid of it, then I might need to rom
Viewing in fullscreen is possible with the aforementioned app. The pinch to zoom doesn't work due to the notch fill in not being enabled. To use fullscreen download the app, enable developer options, and once you've enabled developer options go to essential notch settings, set per application, and choose the app. Then click always use notch area. Pinch to zoom will now allow video to fill the screen, and the YouTube app will make use of the new formatting.
