Hi all,
Today out of curiosity I tried to use the Cast feature on my Nokia together with the Connect app in Windows 10. The phone manages to find the PC and tries to connect, then the PC sees the request and tries to accept it, however, it ends with an error saying "Something went wrong with the projection." The Connect app on the PC is version 10.0.17134.1 as seen in the picture. My phone is running Android Pie on the October patch. I was wondering if anyone has managed to successfully cast their screen to Win 10 PC and if so which versions of Android and the Connect app do you guys have?

Same here, I've also tried with a Samsung TV (KU6000). The phone finds the TV and tries to connect, then TV says connecting to phone for a few seconds and that's it. Nothing happens.

Yes, I'm running Android Pie. Never tried on Oreo. But, it's not Nokia/HMD global issue though, Google dropped it since Android 6. It's a problem with Nokias, Pixels and other Android one devices. You can check here. You can also Google for Miracast on Android one devices.

Okay, I didn't expect that. However, if Miracast is dropped, what exactly does the Cast option support then? It does not make sense for the option to be there if it simply does not work.

The cast option is for use with Google's Chromecast, Android TV, or Google Home. It uses a proprietary protocol, so it is only possible to cast to Google products.

Don't know. What's more interesting is that Nokia devices are Miracast certified (see this). But, there's no mention of variants, only like base models are mentioned.

Hey,
I have bougt a hdmi miracast dongle at eBay.
It is mediatek CPU based and only accept a micro USB connection.
Attached to this message are two pictures that show the inside and the outside.
This dongle is a zk technologies w18 dongle and beside miracast it should also support Intel widi.
Unfortunately it doesn't support... and I cannot connect my laptop to the dongle.
I can connect two different phones with 4.2.1 android, but no success with Intel widi
Any one has a device like this? Any idea where can i get a new firmware?
Thanks!
Ihave the same device and same question? Are there any solutions to hacking this device?

Sorry I was wrong. I want to connect my macbook to device, so I have to establish computer-to-computer connection. The right words should be, "supporting computer-to-computer wifi connection".
My questions:
I just bought device hdmi dongle (w18) and try to find way for connecting my macbook.
Could you please tell is it possible? Should I update firmware for that, and can I do it at home PC for existing device?
Does device support wifi access point mode, because I found that mac os x have no wifi direct?

I have a device that internally looks the same, although I do not know who produced it, but where your's say MT-WFD18, mine says RLM218_1.1, and just below W-SL + 2813.
I haven't tried anything else than just miracast, which worked not so well, was fairly slow screen update, with sound out of sync while using Dice Player on my LG G2.
When i read det description from the seller it mentions something about 'intuitive interface', from what I can see, it is just a bootlogo static screen, is there a standard way of communicating with these devices, like common SW that do something, or is it likely the intuitive interface is just that, static screen?
Did anyone find any hacks/fw updates for these?
[EDIT] Added pictures, sorry about the quality, lazy and just used mobile phone, and it seem i amanged to get part of my beard in with it! :/
I have what seems to be a re-branded ZK W18(Allview Smart2View). Worked reasonably well with my phone for a while(some stuttering was present, the occasional disconnect) but I was quite happy with it as my phone has no tv-out. Used it maybe about 5 times. Today I was trying to show somebody some videos I took from one of my kids training and discovered it has no sound. Got sound after a reboot, but it disconnected after half a minute and sound didn't come back since. I am also interested in an update to make it more stable...
Miracast smart2view dongle
Hi,

The original is made in china:

Any ideas to improve playback?

1. better hardware(impossible...)
2. better firmware(almost as impossible, it seems)
Yups... i still haven't found a new firmware
I have this device too (allview branded). Worked for a while, then sound dissappeared, then it kept restarting, then just gives black screen. I suspect it's overheating, and maybe it is damaged because of that. Not recomended...
found this in a chinese file sharing website.
I searched with the terms mt8636 and rlm218 and found this:

I don't know if something can be done with that but maybe someone can see what it is.
I sideloadeded settings using adb in windows onto my unloacked firestick from the guide from ‘sideloadfiretv.com’ and the ‘settings’ do not work. When clicking on bluetooth, it disappears and reverts back to ‘Launch Applications’. Does anyone have an idea as to why it is not working?
Thanks

Hi thanks I must of missed that since I spent more time looking on other sites.... does that rule out all versions of 5? the latest being 5.05- I dont know the version I have even though I updatewd Kodi to Jarvis. I am trying to get the Direct TV tablet app that I sideloaded to work- do you that micro usb otg cable adapter would work?
TJ
No version of FireOS 5 will work with the settings.apk from pre-5.0 android.
why do you need to access the BT settings from this sideloaded settings apk? fireOS 5 has more BT support than fireOS3 did.

Hi I wanted the bluetooth settings to independantly control the andoid apps that I sideloaded, particularly the directv app for tablets but from what I understand a micro usb otg adapter (to plug the dongle inline to the firestick) will work probably better- one should be in today so I'll know when I get in. I did run into another problem, the directv app started having an error once clicking on channels stating I needed to be connected to the same network which I am and the same error comes up on 3 different tablets. I have yet to try the app that I sideloaded to the stick before I had issues witht the app working which I am guessing may be updates and if so do you know if the stick would update the app as well?
By the way I do have the latesd os OS the stick 5.0.5 that it showed so I still don't know why settings didn't work. Since I am not really as gamer, I opted for checking out the firestick as oppesed to the firetv since browsing was fast with the quad core processor on my Samsung smart tv unless the firestick does not utilize it. I may buy the ftv but if I do that why not just buy one of the new octacore android boxes with greater capabilitues.
Any thoughts on what may be the best way to stream the directv app? and or what the best streaming boxes might be?- I know some even stram live tv.
Thanks again,
TJ

This thread is to discuss any and all things related to running Android Auto on the LG V30.
Report problems, discuss work-arounds, recommended apps, etc.
fyi, I am running my LGV30 on crankshaft OS using open auto on a raspberry pi. Open Auto is a Android Auto emulator, and I can report that it works as advertised... great DIY approach to adding android auto to a radio without android auto capabilities.
I have a question... anyone running AA on a V30 has gotten waze to work? For me, I get a blank screen when I try to launch waze in AA, and the whole thing locks up until I disconnect my phone. Google Maps works just fine.

I used Waze with no issues for a trip over the weekend... it was the first time the kids had seen Android Auto in action and it kinda blew their minds - lol.
I just tried to install Android auto on my LG V30+ and get the message that my phone is not supported. On play.store website that is. On the phone, I can't even see the app...I am in an "unsupported country at the moment, however my account, card, phone number etc are from a supported country (UK)
My mobile is even active with the UK number in roaming. How do I make it work please?
Try download android auto apk from apkmirror.

I've noticed an annoying issue with AA and potentially unique to the V30. If I make/answer a call in AA then hang up and try to play audio, it plays the audio through the phone speakers instead of via bluetooth to the car speakers. So far have had this happen twice after a call. Unplugged USB then plugged back in fixed it.
If you want to play with some root stuff and want to watch videos on your head unit, there is CarStream for Android Auto. Obviously, it's not good to use while driving but if you eat in your car or just waiting to pick someone up or something, it's a good time killer. It's made mostly for YouTube but stuff like Plex works too.

Wife purchased a 2019 Outback LTD and she could connect her Pixel 2 to the headunit and run AA, but I could not accomplish same with my V30.
This post of yours, and the information on the APKMIRROR site were so helpful. I am up and running now.
Do you know if these variants will be brought together into a new PlayStore version?
Thank you.
Unfortunately I have no idea what google is planning hopefully, yes.
Hello Guys i have a situation with My Android Auto and My LG V30.
I am running an Android radio and installed HUR. Before i Saw this thread i was convinced that the only way to use Android auto on My phone was thru wireless mode which Is good but sometimes i don't know why it suddenly disconnects and i have to connect again manually.
So i Saw this post and it works the "Charging Only" mode i was so happy !! But then i select "charging only" always when i connect the usb and i have no connection so i have to put it again in MTP and now everytime i Want to connect to Android auto i have to go to developer options before i connect the usb and select charging only then go back and connect the usb to the radio and thats the way it works.
Anyone has a similar problem? The radio Is not the problem and neither the usb cable because My wife Huawei P30 Lite works perfect with Android Auto.
USB is a mess on the V30. Connection is extremely unstable with both of my cars. It is not caused by the cable or USB port. Both have been replaced.
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.

Because maybe I am doing something wrong, without knowing it.

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.
I'm having some trouble with Android Auto. My new OnePlus 11 will only connect "Charging Only" and will not connect for File Transfer / Android auto.
If I connect via USB and enable "USB Tether" it worked for a second, enough to pop Android Auto, and then disables...
It did work for a phone-to-phone transfer using OnePlus's transfer app!
What else have I tried:
1) Hard reset to factory
2) developer mode - I just tried editing the default connection mode (after enabling developer mode) and still nothing.
3) USB monitor - Indeed I have also tried a USB monitor, and nada. It connects to power and then disconnects immediately.
Verification! Both my car and the monitor connected perfectly with no additional config to my OnePlus 9, and my Oneplus 7 Pro today.
Any suggestions?
Exact same problem here...after trying to connect nothing happens (in Skoda Kamiq). Phone says it's connected to android auto. Strange things is it works without problems in my other car (Toyota Aygo). Seems like a compatibility issue in with car hardware or software. Probably a system update is needed to fix this sinds it's a new phone.

I would have to be without a device (I traded in my old one). I would likely move to Samsung rather than be without a phone. Then return it.

I phones them. We went through everything. It's 100% the phone as the same issue manifest with multiple devices. Car & Monitor.
I'm sure this is software related because it works in my other car. I wouldn't return my device to find out the new phone has the de problem. Also read alot about Samsung users (s23) with connection issues for Android Auto.
I'm somehow relieved it's a software problem so they CAN fix it, the question is, when..
