I believe this is also a problem with the 1st gen Nexus 7, that it does not identify as a tablet in the Play Store. I am unable to download tablet edition apps for my Nexus 7 (2013). Specifically, I cannot get Amex's app, I can't even get the regular mobile app as this isn't a mobile! I also cannot get Bank of America's tablet app although I can get their mobile app. Being that these are secure banking apps, I don't just want to take them of anyone, I want to get them directly from a reputable source, is there any tested safe device name I can change my N7's build.prop to, to make it work?
Also, being that as of now my N7 is not rooted, is there any problem with changing the build.prop of my Galaxy S3 to a tablet so I can avoid rooting my N7 for the time being?
I have new Nexus 7 running clean rom and a Samsung 2013 smart tv. On my TV I go to screen mirroring and then it waits for a device to connect. On the Nexus 7 I go to wireless display and search. It finds my Samsung tv. I click on it, the nexus 7 says connecting and the TV says connecting to device as well. Then the TV says device connected. On the nexus it still says connecting. Then the TV goes black and then says screen mirroring has ended. On nexus it goes from connecting to my Samsung TV not being on the list anymore. On my Verizon galaxy s3 screen sharing works fine.
Do I need the allshare app on the nexus for this to work correctly? If so is there a version compatible with the new nexus 7?
If I don't need allshare app is there a mod I can do to get this to work?
Thanks for any help.

Do you have a samsung phone, with allshare cast on it? if not you may want to check for a software update / firmware update for your TV as the allshare cast dongle required a update for "Screen Mirroring" to work instead of being locked down to just samsung devices with "AllshareCast", even though AllshareCast is Miracast, which is what the n7's screen mirroring is.

Yes my Verizon Galaxy S3, which works fine on the TV and does have allshare cast on it. I did a firmware update on my TV about a week ago and just tried the screen mirroring today with that result. I will try again when I get home to see if maybe the nexus just needed a reboot and to see if any new firmwares came about on my TV since the last one.

I don't know that it's applicable to tv's also, but does your s3 have the allsharecast dongle software update, that was updated July 30th installed? It does kind of have a small reference to tv's in the app description, but it's horribly translated to English , so who knows what all it applies to really lol

I was just gonna respond that yes it does and I see what that does now, when I get home I will see if I can get that to work and then try the nexus 7 again. Thanks for your help.

I have exactly the same case here - unable to use my Samsung smart tv as wireless display for my N7 flo. Any ideas?
Exact same here with Nexus 4 and new 75F6300, with all updates.
Nexus 4 works fine with LG TVs that I tried.

So it should be samsung TV incompatibility then.
I never had luck getting this to work, but I wondered if the google chromecast, or any device in its $35 price range, can be used to successfully screen mirror from the new nexus 7.

Guys, if you are running custom roms and kernels, the chances of screen mirroring is near zero.
I see reports of some custom roms and kernels for my S4 with working display mirroring but that's like a 1 in 20 chance and I never could find one that worked for me. However, stock rom and kernel (even rooted) worked for me on the S4.
I'm running 4.3 stock rooted on my N7 and miracast work fine as well.
I'm using PTV3000 as the sink device so may be different from standalone TVs.

Your so right about that I have a locked bootloader xperia z on existenz rom based on stock xperia rom and I get screen mirror errors but the developer of the rom says its fine for him but ive only experience these errors since kitkat was released for xperia z ive been on about three different custom roms based on stock for xperia z and only one of those roms had working screen mirroring @niaboc79 please fix this problem ive been asking you for months cany you promise me it will be fixed in v2.0 please dont care how long it takes
Here it is 4 years later and I still can't find a solution.
Custom marshmallow roms usually support miracast, it should work with your older TV, nougat does not as I know,that's why I bought a used chromecast2. May a Dev will take care for it in the near future for nougat.
I have a Galaxy s7 and I'm screen mirror from my fire stick and it's been working just fine I been watching movies, now when I try to screen mirror to watch more movies it keeps saying smart view connection ended. What does this means?
Hey guys. Long time lurker and big fire phone fan. Right now I'm running 4.6.1 US Unlocked Fire OS on my ATT locked Fire phone. Without having to root *as I don't trust kingroot to have full unlimited access to my phone* is it possible to steam from Fire Phone to Chromecast? Not opposed to side loading gapps if required. Thanks!

Yes this is working with the gaaps even cast your screen is playing but I think the fire TV Stick is a much better product you can sideload apk and play xbmc/kodi on it
And if you Wont GApps. Patch only YouTube
Sure that Chromecast ist working? The app is working but i am not possible to get a connection to the chromecast. Any ideas?

Fire phone working with Chromecast (audio)
I bought a bunch of Fire phones when it was selling on a fire sale! They all have been working fine with side loaded Google setup files (framework, play store etc). There were some good instructions to load four Google system files. Some occasional app may say this phone is not compatible and not allow you download from the Play Store, but those individual apps will work just fine side loaded.
Anyway, the Chromecast app downloaded fine from the Play Store, but would not connect properly with my Chromecast audio device for the initial set up. It recognized the device okay, but will not finish the initial set up. I thought I was out of luck. But then I tried with a proper (non-Fire) android phone and completed the initial set up. It connected the Chromecast device with the appropriate wifi network, downloaded the updates etc. and told me it was ready to cast. After that, I tried with the Fire phone, and voila.. everything has been working just fine.
I am sure you have some non-Amazon Android device you have lying around the house, or at least borrow for a while. Just complete the initial set up with that and you should be good to go.
I have done this only with Chromecast Audio (The newer version), but I am reasonably sure the same should work just fine with the video Chromecast too.
I use Chromecast all of the time with my Fire Phone (ATT 4.6.5.) Just works great along with all of the gApps... but who knows if that will be the case as the gApps get updated over time. For ATT versions, the 4.6.5 release was great in terms of being gApps friendly. If that changes down the road, then the next best option would be Slimkat or CM11.
I fact, I have both a Fire Stick and a Chromcast on the same TV, and the phone has more Chromecast options from within apps than FireStick casting options. Overall, I prefer using the Firestick with it's physical remote, but it is not as well integrated with android apps at the moment. Hopefully more developers will start using "fling" casting, but right now my main option is sharing a stream with Allcast.
Youtube works good for me. Pandora does also. Netflix Doesn't connect for me though. I highly reccomend the fire stick...
Anyone have any luck using Teamviewer Host? When I install the app and login into my account, it appears to be connected to the Teamviewer servers and says its ready for connections. But on the Teamviewer remote console, it shows the N7 online, it just doesn't allow me to actually begin a session like it does with my other devices.
Anyone have any luck with this?
Running rooted stock 5.1.1 with Timur Kernel for fixed installation (in-car). I don't believe the Kernel is affecting the connection, I don't think it interferes with much besides power and sleep. I think it might be a Teamviewer issue with Asus devices, but want to know if anyone has any work-arounds or hints on making it work.
Nope, doesn't work for me either with Bad Boyz Nexus 7 Stock Rooted 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
Appears to connect like you say but the Remote Control tab says "Initializing Display Parameters" before it gives up after a few minutes.
Shame, it's a really handy tool.

Same for me. Running Nexus 5 rooted stock. Could be a root issue? Lots of negative comments from XDA (mostly rooted im guessing). Interestingly it asks me for root access when I try to connect.
Did you guys figure this out? I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 5 (rooted)
I have an unrooted Pixel 3 XL running the latest November Android 10 update, and I am trying to get the HD Homerun App to play DRM channels from my HD HomeRun Prime 3 (inside my home). Each time I try, the app just crashes.
Per the HD home run forums, I should be able to watch the DRM channels with the app on the phone (works fine on my Shield TV and Xbox one). Per the HD home run forums, it's was mentioned that perhaps the Pixel 3 XL is not attempting DRM configuration?
If anyone has both the Pixel 3 and the Homerun, can you confirm you can watch your DRM channels? It should work, yet the app crashes for me.
Or any suggestions/settings to check on the phone?
Thanks
I have been searching further and I believe this is an issue with either the app itself or possibly Android 10.
I have the HDHomeRun App installed on my wife's Pixel 3 phone. We kept her phone back from the update and is still running Pie. The app works as expected and play both the normal and DRM channels as it should. I also have the app working on my older Samsung tablet.
But on my phone the app immediately crashes once I try a DRM channel. I've asked for help/support on the HDHomeRun forums as well, but hoping somebody here may have an idea why it keeps crashing.
Thanks
