Cast display of P2XL Magisked on external monitor - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hi folk, as title is there a way to cast/mirror display (video and sound) of my P2XL Magisked on external monitor?
I need it for my job
Thank you

I'm not shure what you mean by Magisked, but you need a Chromecast on your monitor/TV/projector

You're right! I didn't explained it! Being Magisked it means like It's rooted so I could have an easier/allowed way to do it!
Anyway, so the only way is using Chromecast?
Because I've it (Chromecast ultra) but I don't have WiFi at home so I can't use it.
Do you have an idea to use an alternative way?

I thought so, but as far as I know there is no other way. The pixel also doesn't support HDMI on the USB port as far as I know.
Maybe you can use your phone as a hotspot.

Atom is correct. Here's a Pixel 2 issues & ideas thread here

Also I remind problems between P2XL and CU with Oreo. Right?
Few months ago I tried to connect them but didn't work. Do you know if now is it working? (I'm not at home now because job and my CU is there so I can't test it)

I use wifi hotspot on my phone to connect to chromecast to project the phone onto the screen. Really a complicated way of doing something which should be so simple.

CU = Chromecast Ultra?
I can't remember any problems on my wireless network. However, I use the mirror function rarely.

Is there a way to use MirrorLink?

Hi,
I just bought a new 2015 Subaru Outback and the infotainment center uses MirrorLink. I can't figure out how to get the LG G3 to work with it. Is there any way to get this phone to work or do I need to sell this phone and buy a different model? I just got this phone 2 weeks ago . Thanks guys
Have you tried in Miracast and search for device. I have wdtv live and it is working.

Go to settings-share & connect to turn on miracast. You can also add miracast to quick tiles settings.
Thanks! Will try that

Connectivity options to a T.V.?

Just made an order for my first OnePlus (3) and jumping from SGs5. I have had loads of luck rooting and flashing with my last model and will surely run the OP3 for a while before diving in to rooting the OP3.
But with serching around I seam to not be able to find many options with using the OP3 as a media hub to my TV. It seams the best way is to just use Googles Chromecast. Or Microsofts Mirorcast.
My problem is i wanted to use my unlimited data plan and NOT use a cable or wifi provider to do this....i.e. just plug and stream to the TV. (Comcast is the only provider in my aria and i hate them for my own reasons).
So questions:
1. What are you using to use your OP3 to provide content on your NON smart TV?
2. Can we use a cable to a HDMI adapter? (I heard no)
3. Have any Devs been working around this, and have a work around?
4. Are there other options that i should be looking at?
5. Am i just forced to get a smart tv and internet to make this happen??
Thank you for taking your time for helping me out and dealing with my nubeiness. I really appreciate any help, and sorry if this has been asked before but i didnt find much on this topic.
Cheers,
Damien
I just have a Roku that I sling my content to. But you obviously need some type of wifi set up for this to work. Not sure how you could get your cellphone data to the Roku...but maybe you could run it through a hotspot you activate on your new OP3.
Edit:. Not sure...but maybe something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191595161272

Have you checked out google cast? I am using the latest version and compatible with all android devices including OP3.You can mirror your screen via google cast app and I am happy with it. It is portable and cheap.

Miracast support

I know Google dropped Miracast awhile ago, but I really really need it. Chromecast just isn't cutting it. Via build.prop (additions below), I've been able to see the Miracast device but it won't connect. Occasionally I'll even see my homescreen pop up, but it will immediately disconnect. I remember having this problem with an HTC 10 and it had to do with the wifi setting being in battery saver mode. I'm currently unlocked with Magisk on 8.1.0.
Has anyone been successful in getting Miracast to work??
build.prop modifications:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
persist.sys.wfd.virtual=1
I've not heard anyone getting it to work on the Pixel XL 2. Other than I saw this post in the Nitrogen thread here
Just use All Cast. You will need to pay for it, I think it's like $5, but I've been using it for years. Works great and with Chromecast and pretty much anything that allows DLNA. I cast to two TV's, my Nexus Player, XBOX, etc. using it.

Unfortunately I need to it mirror my screen, not just play media. Thanks though!
Hi folk, please I need mirror my Pixel 2 XL on TVs for my job. I've Chromecast ultra but it doesn't work with P2XL (it seems some technical issue made by 8.1.0) in the meanwhile I'm waiting for fix by big G do you know if All cast can do this job?

This might sound nuts, but is that Chromecast Ultra using a wired network connection? I have no idea the cause but i've had issues with some devices (a samsung tablet for example) connecting to the Chromecast Ultra when it was plugged into the wired connection, often just insta dropping, but it worked flawless when they both were using wireless. Other devices like a Nexus 6p connected perfectly in both network configurations.
Any idea which custom ROMs support Miracast besides Nitrogen OS Oreo? I really need the screen mirroring ability to a windows 10 laptop.

It works fine on my LG SJ8500.
Does the phone ever ask you to disable Bluetooth?

I'm not using any cable, I'm doing wireless projection and it works great
oh didn't read it works gor honornview 20 for you.
I'm having the same problem on my mate 20 pro, I was able to connect the phone to my LG smart TV wirelessly before and now my mate 20 scans and finds my TV, disables and enables WiFi again but does not connect the phone to the TV. Please let me know if you have found a solution to this.
Works fine for me, I have a LG B7 OLED. I have to go to the input menu on the TV and enable screen share (or mirror or wireless display, I can't recall the exact name but you'll know when you see it ), otherwise the phone will not find the TV. Works the same way both for my Mate 10 Pro (since Pie update) and Mate 20 X
I'm using huawei mate 20x, forever searching for easy projection which my friend using huawei nova 5t is able to search and connect to the tv in my house.

Screen mirror through usb to laptop

Question is since apparently i can not use sidesync to mirror my screen to my laptop any longer through usb or samsung focus or the windows phone app cause it only allows when connected to the same wifi. Does anyone know of a way to mirror to laptop through my usb. Also the laptop is a samsung 7 spin. This is the kind of crap that really pisses me off about samsung too they always mess with a good thing and it feels like they are scaling back on all the cool stuff that made them great before. Starting to act like freaking iphone.

If you are able too (or know how) you can setup a personal hotspot and connect the phone to your personal hotspot. I used to do this in school with my notebook, was a great way to keep an eye for important phone calls or messages while taking notes on html code or visual basic homework.
Otherwise for USB connections you can use Samsung dex for windows. While not exactly like screen mirroring (there are some very minor trivial differences) you still are able to interact with (and use) your phone and apps.

Samsung DEX IS the mirroring option you are loooking for. Or, I don't understand what YOU mean by mirroring.
What DEX does: after installing DEX for windows, connect your phone to the laptop/pc by means of a GOOD usb cable. In a few seconds you'll see on the screen of your computer part of the apps you have on your phone's Homescreen. Then you can use your laptop keyboard and mouse to work on your phone. It is true, that not all apps are compatible with DEX, part of them may work on full screen only and part of them only on a smaller window.
As I understand, you are looking for full mirroring which DEX doesn't provide. I think, but I'm not sure about this, you need an usb c to hdmi adaptor/cable in order to have your phone mirrored.

Use projecting to this PC option of windows 10, and turn on your smart view and connect it then you can mirror it to laptop

There is only one problem with the cable/adaptor: laptops usually do not have an hdmi input port.

Ill look into buying this or similar and trying it out. Just that when im out in the middle of nowhere where my mom lives and of course no wifi and im trying to watch my streaming services from my phone to my moms tv i cant because cant smart view without internet. And so when i use up my hotspot data i used to connect to my laptop with sidesync then my laptop to my moms tv and be able to use my streaming services. Yes dex is o.k. but if i try watching dishanywhere wont work actually most streaming services dont work.

Yes, I have a Sprint Note 10+ and it works flawlessly. Set it on a wireless charger and good to go.

This is indeed the mirroring mode the original poster was looking for. I tried it and it works, but I don't see any advantage on using it. There is a 0.5 sec delay between acting on the Note 10+ and seeing the result on the big screen. Also, I tried switching my laptop's screen to portrait mode and then mirroring, hoping I will be able to get a bigger mirrored image, but I didn't.
What do you use for the screen mirroring? Watching movies?
