Hi
Since I updated Xperia Z1 Compact to 14.5.A.0.270, screen mirroring service will fail when outputting on TV. There is attempt on TV to connect to (the message "Connecting..." is displayed) but shortly after I receive the following message on the phone:
"Mirroring error - Your output device does not support HDCP. Cannot mirror. You still can mirror some apps and unprotected content to the device".
The thing is that using WiDi from the laptop towards TV will work. Also, In KitKat, I succeeded to run screen mirroring from the Xperia Z1 Compact. So I don't suspect anything from the TV set side.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
mine only worked after several tries.... i dont know why, and i didnt do anything different. just kept trying...
I had a similar issue and saw there was a similar issue for z3 owners on the Sony forums http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...t-Display-Adaptor-Miracast/td-p/891178/page/3 and they mentioned there is a fix on the next release.

Hi to all,
i've this problem:
I tried to connect my Galaxy S4 mini to my Smart TV (Samsung UE40F6800SD), but when the two devices connect, after about 7-8 seconds automatically disconnect yourself (the image of the phone is never projected on the TV) . This happened while with firmware XXUAMF6. Yesterday I tried to update both the phone (with firmware XXUAMG8) that the TV (firmware 1110), but when I launched the screen mirroring the two devices were no longer visible.
Have you any idea what could be the problem?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
before to scan with youre phone, have you select on your TV ->source -> screen mirroring ?
1. set TV to "screen mirroring" (push "source" on remote)
2. enable phone menu "screen mirroring" then it should seek for tv and then allow devices to connect with each other.
PS! On my Samsung F6670 smart-tv the function didn't worked anymore after rooting (it did found the tv but disconnected immediately after showing succesful connection) though it worked fine before rooting.

Sorry, my TV is UE40F6800SD
I think the screen mirroring is done through miracast (Samsung calls it AllShare Cast) and apparently it doesn't work with "some" rooted phones:

As for tv support, I couldn't find the ES6800 in the miracast ready devices.
http://www.wi-fi.org/wi-fi-certified-miracast™
The information is pretty scarce but I found this:
http://goo.gl/cvzcVp
"All Share": offers mirror modes between the TV, mobile phones and tablets.
Like in Philips TVs, Miracast Wi-Fi will be present in almost all Samsung's new models (from series 5 upwards)...
I've got a question with the native Screen Mirroring feature. On my Note PRO it just works. I connect to all my devices painlessly. Picked up the Note 4 last week and I have been unsuccessful in connecting it to -any- of my devices. I always get the message that it failed, and on the device it shows "connecting" but eventually times out.
I can use AllCast and Chromecast, no problem...Just unable to mirror my screen!
Anyone else having this issue?
Cast Screen.
Chromecast app has the Note 4 enabled for Cast Screen.
Just open the app and the option should be on the left menu.
Which is fine if a Chromecast is available, but is there a solution regarding the native mirroring feature found on the device? Say I'm at work and need to connect to a projector using screen mirroring and the projector doesn't have an input for a Chromecast. Maybe at my friend's house and trying to connect to his bluray... See what I mean?
I only had problems on the Pro after rooting (until a fixed kernel was released). It seems strange that a factory stock device would have the same problem. I have done a factory reset, but the issue persists.
I've used the native mirroring with a fire TV stick without any issues.
Hello everyone!
I'm trying to screen-mirror my A2 Lite to a Smart TV Sony Bravia KDL40W605B, but for the moment I cannot do it.
Both the devices are connected to the same wireless network, they browse happily without any problem and have the latest software updates installed.
If I choose "Cast" from the notification bar and choose the Sony Bravia TV from the device list, nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to solve this issue?
Thanks to whomever will answer me.
P.S. Just for saying, my old Samsung A3 (2015) and my old Huawei P8Lite (2016) did screen mirroring with that Sony TV without any problem.

I don't think there is a solution yet, except trying some 3rd party apps. I also tried to use this phone with screen mirroring or whatever Samsung TV's function is called, and it briefly worked, the image freezed on the tv, followed by the phone failure to connect to that device again until unplugged and plugged in again, followed by the same error. Sometimes it would work for hours, sometimes not at all.
On my friends Samsung (A5 or something like that) connecting to that TV works just like charm.

Hello TheoXSD, thanks for answerring me.
If the built-in "Cast" software doesn't work, then I'll use third party apps, there's no problem for me. The question is: which app should I use? I searched a bit on google play store and found tons of applications regarding this topic, but the majority looked quite obsure and strange to me...
My goal is to just duplicate my smartphone screen into my Bravia TV, nothing more.
Can't really understand why Samsung decives work so well when casting the screen...

I really have no idea. Better software support and licensing I presume.
As for which app to use, I have no idea, check them one by one, which fits you best. I gave up on screen mirroring since that day.

I understand. May I ask once again if anybody has any solution to this problem?
Because maybe I am doing something wrong, without knowing it.
That's just it, I choose "Cast" from the status bar, it recognises the Bravia TV and then...nothing happens and it loads forever.
Please somebody help
Look for scrcpy (PC software), it connects via usb. On linux it works fine.

I guess the only problem would be that I need to screen cast my smartphone's screen through wireless and not through cable. Thanks anyway.
However, yesterday something happened, both positively and negatively and I managed to cast my Mi Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite to my Sony Bravia KDL40W605B.
I followed a tutorial on YouTube by Geeki Review and it worked once, just once, perfectly, and then it stopped and I couldn't manage to make it work again ever more, even though I replicated the same exact steps.
The tutorial was like this:
1) Go to TV -> System Settings -> Setup -> WiFi Setup (Or simply go to SEN, Settings, Network).
2) Activate WiFi and WiFi Direct and then go to WiFi Settings
3) Press Options on the remote and choose Manual, Other method, No WPS
4) Now the TV offers you a WPA Key, take a picture of it or write it somewhere!
5) On your smartphone go to Settings, turn of the WiFi, find the Bravia Wifi network and connect it using the WPA Key
6) Wait untile the registration process completes and the choose to forget that WiFi Network
7) Now on the TV remote go to Soucres and choose Screen mirroring
8) On your smartphone choose Cast from the notification bar, choose Bravia TV, choose Accept on the TV and then wait, it may take some minutes.
It worked perfectly only ONCE.
Greetings,
I'm trying to mirror the screen of my Samsung Galaxy A3 Smartphone (using the pre-installed "Smart View" app) on a Sony KD-49XD8005 TV (using the pre-installed "Screen Mirroring" app) and it just isn't working. More precisely it isn't working anymore, because some time ago it did work. I can't provide many details, sadly, because it was the TV of my sister back then. I got it from her only a few days ago. Just one thing: it was definitely an older Android TV version back then.
I see the TV on my smartphone, but the connection attempt fails after 1-2 minutes. I see that a WiFi-direct connection gets stablished inbetween, then everything disappears.
I've searched on the internet in the hope to find a solution, but it didn't really work out. Most "guides" are rather useless like "restart everything, install the newest updates on everything" and so on. Some articles advice to turn off the bluetooth connection, which I did.
Some articles suggest to use Google Chromecast via the Google Home app, but that's a bit too much for what I wanted to achieve. All the privileges the app wants, all the stuff about adding "rooms" and what not... Casting via the Google Chrome browser was mentioned a few times as well, but I don't see anything related to this on my smartphone.
So from my understanding there are 3 options:
- getting the current setup to work somehow (not very likely, probably)
- replacing the current "Screen mirroring" app on the TV with the appropriate app from one of the current Sony TVs (would be my preferred solution, I think, but not sure if that works)
- installing some third party Miracast screen mirroring app from the play store (any advices?)
Would be great, if you guys could point me into the right direction here... If there is another option, please let me know. Was looking for a complete AndroidTV ROM as alternative first, but there seems not to be one as far as I saw.
Some details:
After the latest update Android TV 9 is installed on the TV. The version of the pre-installed Screen Mirroring app is 4.1.A.0.8 and it apparently originates from screnmirroring.com
Not sure if the missing "e" is a typo or if there was such a domain at some point. Currently I only can reach screenmirroring.com (with double "e") and this website is about an app called "Castto" from SoomApps, so it's something different, apparently.
Before this TV I had a very old one (not even a smart TV) and was using an Amazon FireTV stick 4k on it. Screen mirroring with the stick was working just fine. Also mirroring the screen of a tablet is working fine with the FireTV stick, so it's the TV, that is causing trouble, not the other devices.
Have you tried Chromecasting to the TV? I Chromecast to my 900e from various devices, including a Samsung tablet.
Hi, so ive been trying to mirror my phones screen to my Samsung smart tv wirelessly. I go through all the steps, making sure the phone and tv are on the same wirless network etc. It the tv finds my phone and vice versa but after actually trying to connect . I get connection failed on the phone side and sharing cuts itself off. I saw on another forum that other people had the same issue since the last offical update. Anyone here had this issue or know of a fix?
I haven't seen anyone mention it, but a lot of us use Chromecast with our Smart TV....
