[Q] [SM-T805] Can't enable screen mirroring

Hello, so I've just bought the 10"5 Tab S and I can't enable screen mirroring.
My TV is a Sony KDL-40R470B, I can enable the screen mirroring just fine with Galaxy Note 3, but not the Tab S.
Any idea how I could solve this ?

And, this spanking new Tab S 10.5 doesn't even support Chromecast Screen Mirroring either! Come-on Samsung!!!
I was only successful wireless screen mirroring to an old Samsung miracast device. So, other than using an HDMI adapter tethered, it seems the initial firmware out of the box on the Tab S is ancient technology compared to the Note Tabs and Galaxy phones which can screen mirror to Chromecast.

I would think Chromecast screen mirroring problem would lie with Google and the Chromecast app not Samsung.
If you are rooted you can use the below app to enable it.

Just more android fragmentation garbage apparently.
I found this article a good read though, but it just leaves an Android user in the blind about what supported features will be available.

Thing is, I'm not using chromecast, I have a smart TV and just enable mirroring with Wi-Fi, I didn't plug anything on the TV.
Works flawlessly with the note 3, but can't enable it on the tab S.
Would that app be worth trying in my case ?

Fixed?

So after 20 minutes of this I sorted it out. I had a private internet access app running so that all my traffic is encrypted and routed overseas. It just sets up a VPN, so I think if you have a VPN running then it won't work. That was my problem, hopefully this helps you.

i have the same issue i think there should be a way. Also you do know Gear needs to be rested it’s only 1 profile at a time ? Also make sure you got all these APK'S installed as I’ve mange to connect to my TAB S4 But I’m still having problems it’s not fully connecting, i think i need to update the APK'S
You need 3 apps. Samsung Gear Apk, Gear S Plugin Apk, and Samsung Accessory Service Apk let me know if you have any success..
(Check your phone to complete setup) That’s where I’m stuck!

I've tried installing all the apk but with no results, i've decided to return the product......that's incredible, a samsung watch is not compatible with a smasung tablet!!
Samsung as learned the Apple's lesson

Successfully paired S3 watch to Nexus 7 tablet
Download a build.prop editor app from the Google Play store and install it
2) Change the Phone model (ro.product.model) to 'SM-N910W8' (this is the Note 4 model number) and also change the Phone Type (ro.build.characteristics) to 'phone'. Save and reboot your tablet."
I used the Nexus toolkit so this was very easy for me. Then I installed the Gear apps like N1NJATH3ORY said. I used Aptoide to search for Samsung, Galaxy, Gear, etc. and downloaded the plugins and apps. You'll need those.

Tab s6 got the same issue
Excuse me can you elaborate more on which app to change and how to change?
just got my tab s6 lte and got the same issue.
Thanks

Galaxy Watch with Vivo V9

Right so there’s 2 parts to this, I want to know if the Samsung Galaxy Watch works with a Vivo V9. And secondly, to confirm before buying, I downloaded the Samsung Wearables app and opened it. It’s showed some options to connect to different Samsung Gear devices, but the Galaxy Watch just wasn’t on there. I even tried and downloaded all plugins, and all other related apps but none had the option to connect a Galaxy Watch. I’d appreciate if someone could help out as soon as possible. Thank you.

I have a xiaomi and watch just works perfectly, i guess it is the same on vivo.. galaxy wearable shows galaxy watch, no issues there either.

Worked on my OnePlus 7Pro and 8Pro...

Hello
There is still a problem, to use S Healt, you have to connect to a Samsung account but there is a two-step security and it only sends the code to Samsung phones!
Sorry for my English.

Question Samsung galaxy wearables app

Hi guys
Having trouble with the Samsung galaxy wearables app it will not connect to my buds, the buds connect fine to the phone via Bluetooth, but the app itself just completely fails so I've lost all the settings on the wearables app.
I've unpaired and repaired followed a few videos but still no joy anyone else have this issue?
Thanks in advance !

Go to a Samsung store, or call one, they may help you and look at the issue for free, at least that's how it works where I live

Idk if it's relevant but the pixel watch requires me to factory reset it every time I factory reset my phone. Will not connect at all to the app until I reset the watch

Are the buds a genuine Samsung product? I've bought Galaxy Buds that were a very convincing imitation. The biggest difference between the imitation and real thing was only the real Galaxy Buds would connect to the Galaxy Wearables app.
