I can CAST directly to my TV from apps, for example by tapping a photo in Google Photos, but I cannot cast the screen. It does not identify my TV as being available, though it does detect my PC. The TV is on the same WiFi network, and my phone must be able to communicate with it or I would not be able to cast successfully from apps.
In the Shade when I click the CAST BUTTON it does not respond in any way, eg. change colour, as other buttons do. Should it? However, I do get the notification which has the 'not found' report.

Hi, if you been able cast screen previously, and now it isn't work anymore, your problem probably will be in your network configuration. Firstly you should start with restarting -router and tv, unplug power cord, after cca 1 min reconnect -> test -> let us know..

It would be helpful to know what TV (Brand) or TV OS you point at. But it very much sounds like you are sharing via Chromecast (as you mention Google Photos works). But casting the Screen requires a Miracasts capable TV.... You can still cast the screen from within the Google Home App...

I upgraded from my S3 to my S4 with expectation that Allshare Controll would be there. I've even seen it touted in reviews. But Allshare wasn't installed from factory, and the Play store has it not supporting my phone SGH-M919 (T-mobile version) - 2nd item in list in pic below.
It did list the Allshare Control Tab as being compatible, but it just gave me an error message saying it doesn't work with this phone, when I tried to use it. Since then, it no longer shows up a SGH-M919 being supported.
Is this the case for everyone?
I can't use Wifi Direct as my Samsung TV (PN64D550) only supports Allshare.

If you are talking about Allshare Cast, it has been renamed to Screen Mirroring.
If you are talking about Allshare Play, it has been renamed to Samsung Link.
If none of those suit your needs, you can always use DLNA which is called Nearby Devices (or something like that, my phone is in Portuguese).

Thanks, I was referring to Allshare Play (i.e. no dongle.) I didn't see the Samsung Link, but now I do. And it's not coming up when I'd click on a video/pic from my gallery and the hit Share.
That said, tonight I'll try to set it up and see if it get's added. I'm extremely surprised that I couldn't find any information when googling Allshare issues that it was renamed. And even more surprised that I can't find anything on it in the play store. When looking for Allshare, you'd think that if they're changing names, they'd also keyword allshare in to get links to it, but they don't have have Samsung Link available on the play store as far as I can see.
Stuff like this should be on their product page at least, and it's not there. I banged my head against the wall on this for the past week.
Can someone with Nexus Player please confirm if you were able to sideload Chrome Browser to your Nexus Player?
You don't even need to sideload it, you can straight up install it from the play.google.com site. I'm certain they don't have a 'leanback' interface for the browser yet so you're going to need a keyboard/mouse to actually use it.

Do you think a google TV remote could work for this? The Sony one has a keyboard/ mouse.

Maybe, I don't have any experience with them. Are they just standard bluetooth? I've been using a Logitech K400 with their usb adapter in an OTG cable.

Did anybode had issues with Chrome? When I first loaded it, the "accept terms and conditions" screen was all black. After a lot of back and forth, I was finally able to "blindly" hit the accept button. Now, from time to time, the keyboard screen just flashes briefly and then dissapears. I cannot type anything, not even from the remote app on my phone

I had the same issue. I couldn't get past the black screen, so I installed Dolphin Browser instead. Dolphin Browser works well if you're looking for an internet browser with plenty of features such as a download manager and user agent switcher. Similar to chrome, a keyboard/mouse are necessary.
I tried the cast function on the phone (Nexus 5) but somehow it can not find any device.
But using the Youtube app casting is working.
Can it work like the chromecast?

With my stock nexus 7 (KK 4.4.4) and wireless display enabled in display settings the screen mirroring works just fine. You have to be on the same wifi network as the nexus player of course then an option will show up in the right corner pull down menu to cast the screen to the player. If it still cant detect it then I am not sure what the problem is, you can try restarting both devices.
I can mirror my nvidia shield tablet on the nexus player with no problem. There is a sec delay but it works quite well, even the sound works. I'm running 5.0 on both devices.
I finally get it working with using the Nexus 5 as AP and let Nexus Player to connect the WIFI hotspot.
So far I can't figure this out, and I'm on the understanding that this can do everything the chromecast can. I use the screen mirror quite a bit!

N7 casts from settings and notification menus. For my G2 I had to use the standard Play Store Chromecast app instead
I just got a Nexus Player today and when I tried casting my phone's screen to it, my phone kept saying "no devices found. I turned the Player off, then on, and then my phone found out right away. Just thought I'd mention what worked for me
Hi All, first post, so don't know if it's in the right place.
I have just brought a 2021 H96 Max 4K Android box and i have a problem with opening the Google Play Store and YouTube.
It's all set up and Wi-Fi connected and signed in to my Google account, but when i try to open it i get a white screen then goes off back to the app.
YouTube comes up then just goes off back to the app again.
Thanks
The problem is with not enough ram memory.
Hi. I have the h96max TV box 4k ultra hd. I have a problem. when I turn on my device it displays a blue screen with Chinese characters for a few seconds and then closes.

It's ok for two days and then again blue screen with Chinese letters that I can not understand .

Were you able to resolve this issue?
This was caused by Chinese keyboard app. You can disable the notifications, restrict display over other app permission via app settings to avoid this.
Better install Android 10 or 11 firmware.
I have FireStick 4K, and it works great.
I have this remote:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And it works great, now i am interested in this remote:
But i am a couple of questions:
1. Will all buttons works great?
2. Can i change some buttons, for example netflix button to kodi or youtube
3. Can tv button just change imput to tv and that simply it?
If your 4k stick is on a recent firmware all the buttons will work.
Only buttons '1'+'2' can be reprogrammed. The channel buttons can't be officially reprogrammed. A couple can be reprogrammed unofficially.
The TV button takes you to the LiveTV app in FireOS.
Personally I don't think the cost of that remote is worth it. At this point it's more expensive that the 4k Stick itself.
If you root the 4k Stick and use the Exposed Edge app, you can can remap all the buttons on your current remote. Including double taps and long button presses, on screen shortcuts, recent apps.
But you won't get the remote finder, BT listening and backlit buttons, if that's what you are primarily after.
Thank you for your answer.
What is most annoying for me is when i want to chance imput from firestick to tv, i must get tv remote to press this, i wanted this on firestick remote. Thats most annoying from me.

If mainly want to change the HDMI / input port you should already be able to do that with your current remote.
Go through the FireOS settings / equipment control setup. This will teach the FireTV how to switch HDMI ports. Then you can press the Alexa/voice button and say 'switch to HDMI2' or 'switch to TV' etc
How to switch TV inputs with the Fire TV or Firestick remote
Among the discussions of the new Fire TV remote that was just released, several people said they wished that Amazon added an input button for changing their TV's input.

thank you but i dont want to say anything, i just want to type button.
