There is a new app from Samsung in the Android Market. Smart View.
With Smart View the Samsung Tv D7000 and D8000 can stream channels or hdmi to phone in realtime. This app is for galaxy s II.
i installed Smart View in galaxy s but it work only in the part of remote control.

There is an issue with WatchON with the tab 3 8.0 I was wondering if any one else can replicate.
I can only select the correct channel lineup for zip my zip code and it requires a set top to be configured when I do not have one on any of my TVs.* Not a big deal as the tv channel to be changed can be configured to us My TV except that the Watch Now from the channel guide doesn't work.*
Testing using the OTA (over the air antenna) no set top is required and the Watch Now from the guide works correctly and allows the Watch Now to work from the guide. Problem is the channel line up is now incorrect and only show 10 to 15 channels and not the cable tv lineup of 0 to 68.
I have replicated this issue and would love to test a newer version but the tab3 8.0 comes with version 1.0.68 and it doesn't allow an update to 1.0.77 on the market.* The updated is not released or available that I can locate. Tried the same on the tab 3 7.0 and tab 3 10.1 at bestbuy.
Watch On works perfectly with the S4 phone and even allows a toast notification to stay in the drop-down notifications and the quick channel volume change is really nice.* Samsung support was like what ever contact WatchOn via email. No response from Samsung or watchon via twitter. Usually Samsung is pertty good, but I'm pretty disappointed with this loss of functionality of this app on the Tab 3 compared to the s4 phone.
Thanks in advance!
I had a chance to test with 2 demo models at Best Buy last night. The tab 3 10.1 and 7.0 both exhibited the same functionality not working with the application.
Interestingly the WatchON version was different on each tablet but so was the Android OS version. Surprisingly the OS version on the 8 and 10 is the same but the version WatchON version was different.

Hi,
I have bought a Chrome Cast. It worked nicely for my cousins' smartphones (nexus 4 with Android 5.1.1 and MotoG with Android 4.4.4), but not in my S4 Mini.
Issues:
1) Screen cast starts to casting, but only the first "frame". Any further action is not updated on TV screen.
2) I installed an app called "Photo Cast" to stream the photos to Chrome Cast. But usually only the fisrt picture is succesfully sent. Sometimes two or three. After that I have to leave and enter again in the app.
Did anyone have some issues like this with S4 Mini? Any workaround?
Obs: Androind version 4.4.2.

Currently I don't have a s4 mini but as I still had mine it worked fine together with my chromecast, I was on a 5.0.2 rom
Mine worked fine with a friend Chromecast using 4.2.2 Stock ROM.
S4 mini will cast photos to chromecast if you use the ezcast app. Found this out after buying ezcast hardware!
Hi,
Is anybody running smart view on a tab s 8.4? I used my samsung tv in combination with a galaxy 7.0 n plus for a long time. But for my new s 8.4 I am not able to find any working smart view version.
Anybody the same problem or knows anybody a solution?
Thanks for help

I cannot believe that nobody wants to use a tab s in combination with a Samsung tv!
I have an 10.5" and a Samsung smart TV, where do i get smart view from.
John.
I seemed to have it in the past, but can also no longer find it. I have both a S 8 and S10, and neither view it as a working title. I searched high and low to find out why, and it seems that it no longer can connect to newer Samsung TV sets. The iOS app works great, so its really annoying that my brand new samsung tablets cannot connect to my brand new samsung TV's, despite the fact that my much older iPhone 6 and iPad Air2 can connect without issue.
I did find a lot of people saying SmartView was also killed off for WatchOn. But, opening watchon on a brand new tablet gets an error about not being able to connect to the server. After doing some more digging, it appears Samsung killed this app/service at the end of 2014. So, if anyone has any ideas as to what I can use as a replacement, then please let me know, as this is the last missing piece for my Smart Home controller
I cannot find an Samsung app, I thought it was called allshare, I did download an app called "play to samsung" and it does work with my tv to an extent.
EDIT: Try This.

Allshare allows you to send data from your mobile to your TV (videos, pictures, music). Smart view does the opposite and is sending your TV screen to your mobile.

There are 2 versions:
Smart View 2.0
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.companion
SmartView 1.0
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.smartview.tz
Just give them a try
None of these versions is working on the tab s. That's a shame, cause the only reason to have a Samsung tab was smart view and my TV at home. If I had known that Samsung apps are not working on a Samsung tab, I had choosen definitly a tab from another manufacturer.
I tried also the customized versions you can find using google or here in the forum.
Did you read the link i posted earlier showing you have to activate the feature in the setting menu.
John.
Yes, I saw your link, but I think, you didn't read my postings: allshare allows you to browse content on your phone using your TV.
Smart view allows the other way and is able to send the TV signal to your mobile device.
You can follow the TV program that way in another room than your TV is localized. That is the feature I am searching for. You cannot do that using allshare.

Remote Control works using Smart View 1.0 with T800 but nothing shows up in dual view. It works fully with T520. I do not have the 8.4. (I had to use my smartphone to download a copy of SmartView 1.0, send it to dropbox then download/install in tablet).
Same here, remote control works with several versions, but no dual view...
Greetings all,
When I have no issue casting to my Chromecast 1from within apps that support casting like Netflix, VLC or similar, problem comes when I want to mirror my screen for other usages.
For example I like to do some retrogaming mainly using RetroArch, unfortunately there is no casting support in the app.
I used to be able to cast my games on a bigger screen like my TV to make my gaming sessions even more enjoyable when I was on my older devices, however now it is impossible from my new Redmi note 8 Pro.
I would like a trick/tip which does not require using a google account (trough the Home app for example) because I am not using my phone with a google account for may reasons (no google account is logged on my phone, nor I use the PlayStore).
If it is possible to cast for example NetFlix I see no reason why I cannot simply mirror my screen.
Thanks.
Redmi note 8 Pro
MIUI 11.0.2.0 PGGEUXM
Coz Xioami choose to use Miracast for it's mirroring protocol instead of Chromecast.
Those two are different protocol.
Try updating "security" app manually from apkmirror, (not sure if this is the one that added the option for me, or having Android 10 11.0.4), after you do one of these options, or both, go to:
Settings>special features>video toolbox>manage video app>add your desired app to cast.
Now whenever you open the app you will see a small line in one of the edges, you can swipe it and you will see many options, one of them is cast
