Ok so, on every other phone iv had I was always able to screen cast to my TV or Roku device, but why doesn't the pixel allow this? Even iPhones allow you to
You need a chromecast, Android hasn't been able to do it any other way for year and years, your other phones have worked because the manufacturer had implemented their own solution to it.

Not entirely true as I can cast to my Samsung TV without a Chromecast. I'm not sure why - but I have always been able to.

I think that is missing the OS system of your TV. It's an Android TV, an LG WebOS or Samsung Tizen, etc?

I can cast to my LG TV with out a chromcast but that's because LG have implemented their own solution. Miracast was removed from Android with the release of Marshmallow, other phones might work because like i said they have added some form of screen mirroring of there own.

Nexus Q and HTC Media link should work. I am not sure if they are exact mirrors like the dongle but it should be.
Nexus Q can't do screen mirroring. The HTC Medialink isn't compatible with the Galaxy S3 due to proprietary software.
You're stuck with the $99 allshare cast dongle. I'd wait though since a lot of screen mirroring solutions are going to be made available and most likely cheap by the end of 2012. The WiFi Alliance is working on something called Miracast which is essentially android screen mirroring.

Apparently someone said the HTC media link works with the GS3. There was a thread on it.
You could buy a Samsung DVD or bluray player that has the allshare capability.

..different things, all share DLNA ( share movies from PC, phone to TV ) is different to All share cast ( where the phone is replicated on TV )
Need this!
So Im a school teacher and bought a GSIII for this accessory. Why isnt it available and does anyone know when it will be available? Im trying to do research now to see if I can get the HTC one to work with my GSIII, also I have a Nexus7 I would like to figure out how to make that work as well.
due to the overpricing of this thing (it'll be about 110 USD in sweden) I decided to pre-order an Ouya instead as it basically gives me the features I wanted an allshare dongle for but at the same price. But for those $100 I get a standalone tegra 3 device instead, basically a htc one x without a screen. It wont be out until march but the money value here is worth the wait.
Hello, anyone know if it´s possible to emulate the allshare cast dongle with a PC ??
i mean, that piece of hardware must use some software that can be inatalles as a program in a notebook and then the notebook connected to the TV.
Could this be done?
PD: chrome cast doesn´t mirror the games for example and samsung dongle yes

With all the new apps and wireless technologies out there now, is there a way to get the same cast functionality going through an XBOX connected TV with your phone?
I have a Samsung Note 3 and XBOX 360 and want to mirror my phones screen and control some apps like you can with the Chromecast, mainly a web browser on the XBOX.
Thank you for any help!!

I installed Mirror OP sender and Mirror Op receiver on my notebook and cell phone and then connected the notebook with HDMI to my TV. I have mirror now, but it has too much lag.
If someone make some retroengineering on an all share cast dongle i think we can emulate it, the notebook or pc connected to the tv has to have enough power to copy the software functions of that dongle!! . Soemone must know more about this.

I would be surprised if not nearly any laptop out there got more power than the small dongle device?
In addition I think the lag (most recognizable in games) might come from the wireless transmission maybe?

I connected my S3 to our TV and it had a bit of a lag as well. I've only used this to view videos and pics but they don't take up the whole TV screen, kinda defeating the purpose or am I missing something?

I asked the Samsung chat support for this youtube video : watch?v=FX3y7O_TOew
they told me that feature was only available for rooted concept devices, so... we can see that they do the same as Chrome Cast dongle but without buying any dongle. ...
this so called "WEB PAGE SHARE" function doesnt appear on new note 2, s4, s3 or note 3, maybe someone can make a rom or something to make this work ??? its also showed in this video:

Comment also q put smasung patch and still the same...
Any solution? or some screen mirroring for the galaxy?
I am not sure I completely follow that question or questions. If you are looking for Screen Mirroring options, then there are several apps that offer such a functionality. Primarily Miracast comes to mind. As always the phone does support DLNA if your TV supports.

disconnects right away... I only thing I want to do is mirror of my phone to the TV screen...
I just wanted to mention that this should be in the Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting section. I rooted my phone with custom ROM and Recovery and only had to download the AllshareCast Dongle S/W update to get my phone to work with the smartdock and MHL adapter. But doing a quick search of "allshare" on the play store brings up multiple alternatives for the allshare cast app which might work.

I was just doing some reading on random posts and found this which may help. I had done this before updating and didn't realize that it had anything to do with fixing the problem.
Yes that is correct. Particularly if you are using Samsung's own Screen Mirroring.
I still make it work ahhh if I find another solution as dire... thanks for everything
Has anyone tried to cast their Nexus 5x to the TV without using any kind of electronic device like chromecast and etc. but by just using the phone itself? If so, can someone help me out. I've tried many ways but it seems like my phone doesn't recognize my LED TV. It always says "No nearby devices were found".
Sorry for double posting. Please delete this. Thanks!
it happen only Nougat when i was on marshmallow its works fineT^T
Mine is the same, worked in my Nexus 4 but Google seem to have disabled it in the 5X and it's a pain as we used to show photos on the TV screen instead of passing g around my phone. I've yet to find a solution
I tried miracast and it doesn't work to me either ..
So +1
Google killed Miracast in Android N.

Since the casting function is specifically made for chrome cast it won't work without it.
On the bright side, a chrome cast device is really cheap and will work with any device that can run chrome or chromium.
Just having a LED TV doesn't mean anything, is it a smart TV and if so what OS is it running?
Can the Razer phone cast to Chromecast or Android TV?
Of course it can for movies, music etc not sure about screen mirroring if that's what you mean.
Few apps that work generically in the play store.
Maybe someone with more Android experience will chime in. Looks to be a few tho.

Casting is not device specific but app specific. For example The CW app doesn't support casting, so I can't cast it to my Mi Box with has chrome cast installed in it. But, YouTube app has cast in the app, so I can then connect to my Mi Box with Bluetooth or over my wifi connection to cast the YouTube app to it. I just did this last night with no issues.
Hi were you able to try google home mirroring? Thanks again.
Google Chromecasting works, as well as miracasting. Which is not than the Google Pixel would do.. Answer is yes and supports all forms of casting well.
I was in a restaurant that had chrome cast with their TV. My phone saw it and asked if I would like to cast.
Shoulda thrown up some porn lol
Look in the drop-down notification screen. There is an icon for casting. That means that you can cast your screen or anything on it. It's not app specific.

Chromecast yes, miracast, not on stock (I think you can enable it with root, but not sure)
I know Google dropped Miracast awhile ago, but I really really need it. Chromecast just isn't cutting it. Via build.prop (additions below), I've been able to see the Miracast device but it won't connect. Occasionally I'll even see my homescreen pop up, but it will immediately disconnect. I remember having this problem with an HTC 10 and it had to do with the wifi setting being in battery saver mode. I'm currently unlocked with Magisk on 8.1.0.
Has anyone been successful in getting Miracast to work??
build.prop modifications:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
persist.sys.wfd.virtual=1
I've not heard anyone getting it to work on the Pixel XL 2. Other than I saw this post in the Nitrogen thread here
Just use All Cast. You will need to pay for it, I think it's like $5, but I've been using it for years. Works great and with Chromecast and pretty much anything that allows DLNA. I cast to two TV's, my Nexus Player, XBOX, etc. using it.

This might sound nuts, but is that Chromecast Ultra using a wired network connection? I have no idea the cause but i've had issues with some devices (a samsung tablet for example) connecting to the Chromecast Ultra when it was plugged into the wired connection, often just insta dropping, but it worked flawless when they both were using wireless. Other devices like a Nexus 6p connected perfectly in both network configurations.
Any idea which custom ROMs support Miracast besides Nitrogen OS Oreo? I really need the screen mirroring ability to a windows 10 laptop.
