Screen mirroring not available - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is the T-Mobile variant
G4 Stylus
I have a Chromecast v2 which I use fine with other phones.
Same WiFi LAN
Running Marshmallow, NOT rooted
There's simply no Miracast option under Share & Connect
I tried installing a 3rd party mirroring app from "SoomApps", but all I get is the error "Device not supported" when I attempt to select a source to cast to.
Any idea?

no, the official samsung allShare is too deep wired into the touchwiz (samsung interface) and btw is wortless
search and try in the Play:
BubbleUPnP
Don't know about miui.
Android is compatible/buildin with miracast since 4.2
Cm11 has a "cast screen" and works fine with miracast enabled lg, I know some Samsung smart TV are miracast compatible.
I'm sure are apps in play store.
Sorry about the necro, but I did not want to make a new thread.
On my S4 mini, I'm unable to use the "Cast screen" functionality correctly. I own a Sony Smart TV which has a "Screen mirroring" option, and the phone appears as "Connected to TV" while the TV says "failed to connect to device"
What can I do to get screen cast working?

[Q] Screen Mirroring.

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.

Miracast / Play To / Wifi

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.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD
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?

Miracast Issue*

I happily rooted with Elementalx and finally decided to use the cast feature from the pull down menu. So after buying Chromecast and get a ridiculous response which reads "device not supported and experience may vary" but bottomline didn't work. Now I have Screen Beam Pro and I go to cast but it does not show any available device.
So Not giving up I tried some apps to find one that works and I did and it has ads (don't want the app) but it recognized the Screen Beam device whereas before without the app, cast shows nothing.
How do I fix this to use OP3 cast feature?

Cannot use smartview

Hi all, I can't use smart view for mirroring to TVs, be it Sony Android TV, LG WebOS TV, or samsung's own (I don't know what's the OS). it connects, then immediately disconnects without even showing the mirroring. It failed to connect, technically. What's the problem?
Are you using any VPN while trying to mirror? If so, disconnect VPN and try again.
Same, no change
smartview has not worked for me once
using chromecast on netflix and youtube works perfectly, however chromecast with any other app gives me same issue as smartview
