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!

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.

I have this tv, and I want to ask about screen mirroring:
http://www.samsung.com/pl/consumer/tv-audio-video/televisions/led/UE32H5500AWXXH
I must say that the "cast screen" is not working, my tv is not available on list, nothing is. But, allcast app is working fine. But it doesn't give me what I really want.
I want real-time desktop to tv mirroring from s4 mini, on cyanogenmod. Screen mirroring is working fine on stock rom, with real-time sending display.
It is possible, if yes, how?
Thank's at advance!

guys just wondering, what's the best Dongle for screen mirroring for LG G3?
I had the Samsung All Share Cast before on my note 3, but it wont work with LG G3.
Basically I just wanna be able to play videos from my LG G3 on the TV and Youtube.
Would Chromecast work? or Roku is better?
I have chromecast and miracast works like a charm from day 1 when I got my phone. It is official supported for G3. Also other cool apps like netflix, youtube, chrome, play music all access, etc. work with it.
Chromecast works with any android 5.0 for 4.4 and before you can try an app called Mirror-enabler (search for it here in xda) I have 2 unofficial supported devices working with it (galaxy s3 mini and xiaomi mi2s).

Thanks for your input.
Im deciding between Chromecast or AmazonFire Sticky or the EzCast by Measy
I'd recommend Chromecast, you can not only 'cast' from apps like youtube, netflix, etc, but you can also Cast your whole screen (Actual screen mirroring) for games and whatever else. Not sure if amazon, etc do that.

oh cool...
is there a lag or delay in the casting?
I know this is old but miracast now works for the Roku 3, which blows the chromecast out of the water.
Hey guys.
Did not want to create a new thread, so I'm resurrecting this one.
I'm a g3 user with an smart TV. I do have a generic slim port adapte which works fine.
What I'm wondering is, I'm still not sure which is the best way to play videos on. TV. I couldn't notice the difference between them.
Slimport
Miracast direct wifi
Phone connected to TV over USB and the smart TV plays the video.
What are the pros and cons of these 3 methods do you think?
Thanks in advance!

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...
I am using Redmi Note 6 Pro to cast screen to Vu 43" Ultra HD 4K tv. But the wireless display function isn't working. I've observed this problem with my previous devices that are Redmi 4, Redmi Note 5 pro. The only app I've successfully used to cast media is " All Screen (Chromecast, DLNA, Roku, Fire TV) " by Aryabhata Labs which can be downloaded from Play Store.
This app can only cast media to TV not the whole screen itself. I've read at many places about this problem, but there's no solution available for this. I've successfully casted screen of Vivo phone to the same tv. The only problem is with Redmi Series phones. I don't think the problem is at VU TV's end.
Somebody please provide a solution.
Same with me.
as per my knowledge, its the issue with Android version. I could cast seamlessly with MIUI 8&9 versions and Android Marshmallow & Nougat.
My Mi Max which is running MIUI 7 with Marshmallow is connecting Vu TV perfectly.

Hi,
Could u plz explain if u r facing the same problem as me. I have chromecast and am able to cast to my tv but i cannot get fullscreen like when i use my samsung
phone to cast. If u have chromecast have u tried using google home app? While this enables full screen casting in some cases there are many issues in most cases.

I do not have Chromecast. I've only tried casting my android screen to tv.
