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 just bought a Samsung smart tv with screen mirroring feature and my note 4, my wife old note tablet connects with no problems, but my note 10.1 2014 edition gives me "unable to connect because of an hardware problem" message. I am not rooted, I have the U.S wifi edition. patch did not help either.
does anybody have a solution please. going crazy. spent arm and a leg for a smart Samsung TV and can not do a simple task.
Have same problem connecting to Sony cinema system. S4 connects with screen mirrowing but note note 2014 with same Android version gives connecting error. If I find solution I will let you know.

Also having Mirroring issues
I also have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) that is having issues with mirroring. I have an older TV and purchased a Netgear Push2TV device PTV3000 for wireless mirroring. When I try to connect to the Netgear device the Tablet usually fails to connect and displays the "unable to connect because of a hardware problem". I have been able to get it to connect, however, if I reboot the tablet, but if you disconnect and try to reconnect it will display the same error message.
Even if you do get it to connect it will drop out like clockwork about every 3-5 minutes. I tried to stream a movie to it and locked up every 3-5 minutes all the way through over and over. The movie will just freeze and then the tablet It will display something like "lost connection to the server " and you can report or reconnect. It will reconnect and start back where it left off, but quit again in 3-5 minutes. Very frustrating for a brand new 600 dollar device.
This is most likely a software problem if you don't have any trouble with your wifi connection.
I do not have any reason to believe my WIFI has any issues. I can stream the movie to the Samsung Tablet without any problem, it's only when I try to use the mirroring that problems occur. Also, I was able to mirror using the exact same setup with an android phone I had laying around that's about 3 years old and was able to 1) connect to the Push2TV much more readily 2) stream the movie without it locking up every 3-5 minutes.
I just bought a brand new Samsung smart TV 7250 series. Exact same problem. P600, US, totally stock. Not even root.

I just got the ptv3000, updated the firmware, and can connect no problems, except for the fact that it only mirrors a corner of my screen (only 1080p out of 1600p of the tab). I just can't figure out what to do. Yet I also saw that others had got it working. Why is it difficult with this tab.

So you got that working except the resolution issue right? To help others can you please share info of your device?
Which version of the tablet? (4g, 3g or wifi)
Rooted or not?
Stock or custom rom?

Hi There, No need to worry. Please read below the fix.
Alright, here is the Fix for this. Please spread the word if this works for you. Because it worked for me. I didn't discover this solution so I can't take credit for this. Here it goes:
1. On your Note Pro/Tab Pro find All Share Cast from Samsung and UnInstall all the updates. Then click Force Close, all of this should be done in Application Manager.
2. Restart your Note Pro/Tab Pro (Very Important)
3. Using two fingers pull down the main screen from top down to unveil the controls menu. Touch Screen Sharing while the Miracast or other screen sharing service (Wifi Direct etc) is activated on Your TV.
4. Let it auto find it and auto connect..........Viola!

So I contacted Samsung customer support regarding this problem.
The first contact, they required me to do a factory reset, so in order to go any farther, I did that.
Once that was done, and the problem still existed, even before doing any updates or anything, I contacted Samsung Support again.
This time, they told me that I would have to send it in for repair at my expense (because mine is out of warranty; which pisses me off, because it was less than 3 weeks out of warranty.) Mind you, they never could tell me what the cost would be.
So apparently, I'm just not going to be able to screen cast from my SAMSUNG tablet to my SAMSUNG TV... even though screencasting from my Moto X works perfectly fine...
I do have squaretrade, but I'm not sure I want to claim that warranty just because of some screen mirroring not working...

The instructions didn't help chief. My tablet doesn't even have all share cast installed. Thanks for the idea though.

That's strange. try flashing latest stock rom for your device via odin. You can download it from sammobile

If I had the time I'd be happy to try, but I need this tablet for work right now, and I finally just got everything set back up from when I had to factory reset over the weekend. Maybe when I have the time in the future.
Thanks
All Share Cast replaced by Samsung Link

All Share Cast has been replaced by Samsung Link. Screen Mirror works in Chromecast app on S5 and Note 10.1 (2014) but uses the network so has some lag. Screen Mirror works with Microsoft Display Adapter on S5 without network or lag but get the hardware error on stock Note 10.1 (2014). Tried the All Share Cast Patch and that did not work either. Still looking.
So I took the plunge and forked out for an Asus Miracast dongle now that Netflix is finally available where I live.
I had seen several demos and explanations on internet suggesting that you can mirror the screen of any app using the Play To function. That is technically correct, but what I can't understand is that in both of the links below, the video / screen shots clearly show the "Play To" mirro function being connected to a display device AND the phone's Wifi connected at the same time.
I cannot replicate this. Every time I connect the Play To / miracast, my phone gives me a message saying that the Wifi will be disconnected while the Play To connection is active, which effectively means that I have to rely on mobile data through the SIM card to stream the media from Netflix!! Not exactly what I had in mind.
Has anyone actually achieved what the links below suggest is possible?
Is my problem due to the fact that my ZF2 is a 550ML?
Or could it be an issue with the Asus dongle?
I also have several other older Android devices with "Play To" / Screen Mirror functions, and they both behave the same, but I thought that the ZF 2would be capable of handling both connections at once?

Just tried with my Samsung TV and both are connected simultaneously.

Seems to have been a glitch. It was connecting via Wifi, not Wifi direct, but trying again the next day it worked perfectly...
I've got a zenfone 3 x008dc and since the latest update firmware, the "play to" function has disappeared from my quick menu setting and also from cellular networks. i tried searching for it in settings and it comes out blank. I'm not able to mirascreen or miracast on to my tv anymore. can anyone tell me what I have to use now as an alternative or where to find this function?

I am trying to find a way to cast movies from phone to tv in my camper without using a wifi network. I used to be able to cast from my Note 3 on 4.4 but apparently miracast is broken on 5.0.2? What would work without internet and a wifi network? I read that a Amazon Firestick would work once it's initially set up on a wifi network but haven't been able to verify.

I recently moved and had to wait for my ISP to setup internet. It idn't work for me even with a internal network. It needs an outside internet connection for setup to complete. None of my Amazon devices or Chromecast worked and only one of my Plex clients worked because it was previously configured for automatic sign in.

Here is how I do it when I travel but you may need a intermediate device. I would download movies onto my phone, start up my hotspot, use another device to setup the chromecast and then use an app like Local Cast to cast the movies from my phone to the chromecast. Recently I tried it and Local Cast wouldnt see the chromecast from my phone. So I moved the movies to my tablet and my tablet over the hotspot could see the chromecast and then I would stream them that way.
Because you arent actually pulling data for the movies (other than whatever background processes are running on the tablet) it doesnt sap away at your hotspot data.
I downlaod my movies to my Note 3 which is currently a wifi only device. I then set up a hot spot on my pixel xl and set up the chromecast. Then using allcast I was able to connect and cast to the chromecast. I swear this was much easier when miracast worked. I haven't tried the Firestick yet to see what happens.
I tested a few things to see what would work with the chromecast. Hotspot had to be on and left on. I could never get "guest" mode to work but the info says it should work so a guest can cast without being on your wifi network. No clue how to make that work yet.
I'll try and test firestick tonight. I also have a spare wifi router that I might take and see what I can do with it.
The firestick did not work.
This is so annoying since it worked on Android 4.4 and now on 5.0.2 it doesn't. I just want to simply cast my phone to my tv in a camper without a wifi network. I suppsoe I can eventually buy a wifi router but I really shouldn't have to. I wonder if the Note 8 will have Miracast or not?
Miracast works with crDroid ROM

I just got Miracast working with "crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180405-marlin-v4.1" for the Pixel XL. I just went into settings - connected devices - cast - then hit the three dots in the upper right hand corner to 'enable cast'. On my Fire Stick I started device mirroring. Bingo! Fire Stick shows up as connected. Works with VLC and Youtube testing so far. Sound and video work. Rotation of phone to horizontal creates full screen (55" TV) mode. I have magisk 16* installed but there are no settings I used in that app for this to work, just wanted it noted as it is the only non-stock app installed so far.

I posted this in the Pixel thread as well, forgot which forum I was on....

Interesting. I am on 8.1 stock, rooted, and custom kernel. I will have to test again when camping season kicks in here soon. I did pick up a Galaxy s7 Edge that will hopefully cast with Miracast. The Note 3 I was trying to use is retired now.
Once I enabled tethering on mine I was able to cast to my Chromecast with the in app cast button. I either had data disabled (the x over the cellular signal) or I turned on airplane mode then the tethering. This allowed it to work for some reason that I cannot explain in much detail. Basically one of those two things maybe both can't remember causes the traffic to be properly routed locally instead of over the net like before. I accomplished this on stock Android using localcast,YouTube, and Netflix less than a month ago.
