I am happy with the way Miracast works with my Nexus 7 2013 and Netgear PTV3000. Except for an occasional 1 sec slip, the screen is mirrored perfectly. Though there are some things I would like to change.
1. Is it possible to show a video full screen in TV (without the previous, home buttons)?
2. Is it possible to turn the tablet's screen off while the TV portion continues to work? Currently, when I turn off the tablet display, TV also goes blank.
3. Is it possible to route Skype and Hangouts audio to TV? Currently, when I video chat in these apps, video is shown in TV, but audio gets played through tablet.
Mirracast is for screen mirroring only. If your screen is off, so is Miracast. What you need is ChromeCast.
^^THIS!! A ChromeCast is what ya need!! I want one for myself too! As soon as a Best Buy within 1 hour of me gets 1 in stock, I'm going to grab it!!

Thanks guys for your replies.
I came across two apps: full!screen & ScreenStandby. I haven't tried them yet since both require the tablet to be rooted.
While in Miracast, YouTube, Netflix and MXPlayer shows in fullscreen. For others, I think the full!screen app should be enough. ScreenStandby has an option to turn of screen while mirroring. That I guess would solve my second question.
Hello everyone,
I try to share the screen of my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T800) to a Acer Projector P7505 with Acer USB WIFI Dongle (MC.JG711.007).
Two days ago I started the first try, activated the 'Mirroring Screen' function on the projector in AP-Mode (so that projector shares the wifi signal) and activated 'Screen Mirroring' on the Tab.
Acer projector was found and the tab connected successful. I hear the touch sound over the projector speaker, but no picture.
Then I tested several other devices: OnePlus One with Android L, several Nexus with Android L and a Samsung Galaxy with Android L and Samsung 'Screen Mirroring'. They all work fine with the projector.
I thought its a problem of KitKat, so i upgraded the tab manually to Android L (5.0.2) and its still not working. Same result: sound, but no picture.
Then a other thing comes to my mind. The tab has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 and the projector and all other tested devices a resolution of 1920 x 1080.
So is flashed SuperSu on the tab rooted successfully and lowered the resolution with the app 'SecondScreen' while 'Screen Mirroring', but same result.
The next was to use the solution of this tread, just to give it a try (http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193),
same error.
After only trying the 'Screen Mirroring' function I switched the technology.
I activated the DLNA function of the projector and tried to share the screen via a DLNA stream from the tab.
Same result! connected but no screen.
Then is used the 'Screen Stream Mirroring' app to cast the screen via a VLC / OBS stream and tried to receive the signal via 'VLC Player for Android' on a other device with hotspot.
The signal received successfully the devices connected and the stream began, but no screen.
Under 4.4.2 and 5.0.2 i factory reseted the device and whiped the cache Severin times.
Can anyone help me to cure the curse of my Tab S that it won't share its screen?
Update:
I now tried to share the screen via chromecast to the projector, but i also got a blank screen.
Then i used a diferent launcher (Go Launcher) because Touchwiz stopped working when i changed the resolution.
And i tried another resolution changer, no success.
Today in the morning, i tested the screen mirroring with a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 from a friend. It works like a charm.
I ve two conclusions first the changed resolution will not be applied on the screen sharing function, or second the screen sharing method has changed on newer devices.
Has onyone an idea how i can manipulate the screen mirroring settings?
I have a Nexus 7 (2013) wifi on 5.1.1 stock. I use the youtube offline feature a lot.
The problem is that if I start a download & leave the tab for few hours, the video stops downloading shortly after I turn off the screen. It starts automatically when I turn on the screen again.
The wifi setting is set to always on.
Is there anyone having the same problem? Any solution?
I tried looking online and couldn't find anything. On my ZE551ML running CM 12.1, whenever I try to screen cast to my Chromecast, it's just black on the TV. Tried a few other devices and they work fine. Just the Zenfone 2.
screen casting works fine on stock rom, might be cm related

I bought a Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE this past Saturday. I got two or three system updates which I applied, the last one was too MIUI 13.
Now each time I try to cast my screen to a Chromecast it immediately fails. I get a message "Casting screen to ... has ended". It tries twice with the same result.
The Chromecast display says that the device stopped out failed casting, or something to that extent.
I'm pretty certain that I tried and succeeded to cast the screen before the final upgrade to MIUI 13.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Or the opposite, is it working hope others?
I have the same problem I can't cast anything and it gives me the same message if you solved this problem please tell me

Same here. I also started to get a message "you are about to cast or screen record start or cancel" .not sure whether that is android or miui.(I have a note 10 pro) Anyway, when I click start it disconnects immediately. All very weird . Btw. Problem is mirroring. Casting using chromecast icon works. I guess we have to wait for a miui update
Seems i resolved it from reddit post needed new versions though
I installed / updated cast and casting apps from here
cast and casting casting - i have a poco f3

i said it resolved it in my reply, yes it did now i can see the chromecast icon and and can cast
Casting 0.4.32
Cast 12.4.8.18
And it's still not working, doesnt matter if im using cast via settings, wireless display and so on. Doesn't even discover my TV... OP5 connects in few seconds...
10th of June - cast still not working
I have a Xiaomi 11 ultra and had same issue. Here is what worked for me after reading the help of the MIUI cast app.
I switched on the "Screen mirroring" app on my Android tv (Chromecast and Google Home could not connect) as soon as I did my TV showed up in the MIUI cast app. It seems to explicitly trigger Miracast on the TV?
Anyway, I selected my TV in the app, it said "registering Xiaomi..." On TV and it worked.
TV now also shows up when "Screen mirroring" on TV is not explicitly selected. So it seems to work going forward.
Google home still says "casting screen has ended". MIUI cast started working reliably though
Had to change source on TV to miracast then open wireless display option on phone, thats the only way to get my phone screen casted... Bit complicated compare to one press of button on my 2017 OP5

I also tried the same,
1st open Miracast on your Android TV
2nd open cast option on your mi phone, as soon as you do it. It given option to connect to your Android Tv & there you go screencast gets working

Screen Stream Mirroring Pro version 2.6.0. Can get paid mod off internet. Works with Chromecast. There is a delay though. Works fine for streaming video. Also if you have firestick you can put it on the mirroring option and then use the cast setting on your phone to screen mirror. Wi-Fi just has to be on, doesn't even need internet for firestick. I have the same problem with Redmi k50.

On Screen Stream Mirroring Pro you got to go into the audio settings and change it to internal or it'll pick up your phone speaker.
Thanks for your suggestions.
I got an update yesterday and I can now screen cast to Chromecast! MIUI 13.0.9.0 (SKOEUXM)
I think I was a bit quick to celebrate. I was only able to cast the screen one single time.
Important to check what version of the 2 apps you are running... casting and cast apps
I am using cast version 12.4.8.17 and casting version 0.4.32 and running miui 13.0.7.0 (poco f3)
I had an updated and it stopped working, just go to the app (manage apps) and click uninstall updates.
It is important to restart the phone and do not update system apps
Looks like it is finally working again. Miui 13.0.13
I tried to update but only show me the muiu 13.0.4
Hi, I dont know how, but it's works.
Change Regional setting to switzerland, now my miui 13.0.6 start screen mirroring to tv from system setting
