Hi i have a samsung series 5 smart tv. I want to stream videos from my htc one via my samsung tv. I think i will will have to download an app on my tv for it to work any ideas guys?
if your TV is DLNA ready then all you need to do is connect the tv and the phone to the same network and you can start streaming video and audio files from your phone.

I to have a "smart tv" (SONY) and have been able to stream music and video with all my other phones but this HTC One... it can't find my TV or Boxee. Have tried to tick the option in advanced wifi settings DLNA auto IP but it does not matter...
Pitty on this nice phone.
I have Samsung smart LED TV and HTC One doesnt work with DLNA.
When I select TV from gallery to mirroring, it gives 500 or 701 errors..
Galaxy note 2, S3 and S4 worked fine with mirroring..

I have a Samsung UN55F7100 and I use the screen mirroring function on it to project my note 3 onto the TV. Without a good wireless connection, any wireless solution will not be helpful. I suggest you use an adapter to plug in an HDMI cable. I'm not sure if note 3 uses MHL or slimport although I think it's MHL as my S3 used MHL.

I have a newer 8000 series samsung and the basic samsung remote function will not even control my TV.. the other apps dont work well either IMO. I am going LG smart tv next time.
I'm trying to cast my (Tab S2 9.7) screen to my Chromecast (v2). If I use the Google Cast app it sees my Chromecast, I choose the "cast screen/audio" option then get a warning that the device is not optimised, and when I continue nothing gets cast to the Chromecast - the tablet shows a "connecting to Chromecast" message which never goes away, and the TV/Chromecast screen remains blank.
If I use the Quick Connect option on the tablet it doesn't detect the Chromecast on the list of devices.
I'm running Android 6.0.1 (stock, unrooted).
Any ideas how I can cast to my Chromecast??
Google Cast works on my T810 using stock 6.0.1, so you must have a hardware problem. I'm assuming your connection to your router is OK from both your tablet and the Chromecast device because Google Cast sees the device. But to be sure, I'd re-install the Chromecast device on your network. If that fails, do you have another tablet you can use to test it? Or have you tried another HDMI port on the TV/Monitor? Or another TV? All I can say for sure is this isn't a general problem with MM on the T810 because I use it quite often.

Mine's an SM-T815. Anyone manage to Chromecast from one of these?
The Chromecast/TV setup seems fine - can cast from my phone no problem. Are you casting using the Google Cast app or the "Quick Connect" Samsung utility?

Samsung's Quick Connect connects via Bluetooth to transfer files. Google Cast connects via your wifi network and that's what I use. There is also a way to cast without a Chromecast device but I think that only works with Samsung Smart TVs.

Eh? According to this, Quick Connect uses Bluetooth OR Wifi to connect to devices including Chromecasts:

Maybe it's supposed to, but I just tried it and the only "nearby device" it found was "Samsung Cloud Print". Even with Bluetooth turned on. It doesn't even see my Desktop Computer, though it does show in my Bluetooth connections.
edit: I just had a chat with Samsung support and they are blaming Quick Connect not working on Google. Always the other guys fault.

Mine can see my Samsung Smart TV and Onkyo A/V receiver (both wifi-only devices), but not the Chromecast :0(

The only thing I can think of is that maybe your Chromecast device is an older model?

Interesting....I tried casting to an old Chromecast v1 (in another room) and it worked fine. Then I tried casting to the Chromecast v2 again, and this time it worked. I hadn't tampered with the Chromecast v2 at all. So now it's working, but I have no idea why it wasn't working before....?????
Hi Guys, sorry to butt in here, but you may be able to help me with my new Tab S2 9.7 64G Lolipop 6.0 (I think its 6.0) that I got for my 70yo mum to play movies on her Sony 46" non smart tv with either the Google Chrome Cast or MiraCast. I purchased a few micro USB to HDMI MTH?2.0 adaptors, and non of them show an image on her screen. I don't want to go and buy the Samsung adaptor as its easier to change movies play and pause using VLC media player while sitting on the couch for her. Can any of you please tell me the easiest dongle I can buy to simply play movies wireless to the HDMI dongle in the back of the tv? Happy to go Google Chrome, but which model do I need? Thanks in advance guys!

The problem with HDMI/MHL dongles is that they are difficult to connect. Most of them will work if you have the patience to keep trying until the finally connect. But then, you are forced to leave your tablet within a few feet of the TV. I MUCH prefer a Chromecast dongle that plugs into the TV and uses your wifi to connect. Most TVs also have a USB port that you can use to power the dongle rather than having to plug a separate power adapter into a wall plug. Here is one on eBay that is only $17 whereas a "Google" branded one will cost about $40. You can even get cheaper ones if you are willing to ship from China.
The current software to mirror the tablet on the TV is "Google Home". But be warned, the picture is not "widescreen" or HD.

Absolutely go for Chromecast, the easiest and most reliable way to cast from any Android device to the TV.
Do NOT buy a cheap chromecast copy from Ebay, they do not work properly.
Pretty much everywhere is selling CHROMECAST very cheap at the moment in Black Friday promo deals.
Get it now while you can as the price will go back to normal soon!
What is your location?

Chromcast sounds like the go! Im in Perth - Western Australia.
If I update the VLC media player App will it work ok with Chromecast?
Dear all,
I'm happy with my Mi 9T Pro - running MIUI 11 Global - for anything but the cast feature.
I have a Samsung TV and when I had a Samsung S9 I was able to seamlessly cast the screen content to the TV.
With Mi 9t Pro anything I tried failed.
Is there a way to accomplish this specific request? Might a custom ROM add the needed feature - protocol - libraries that enable this?
Thanks!

Playstore - Video and TV cast /Samsung TV
Both smartphone and tv must be on the same 2.4 GHz wifi network (not 5GHz). Enable Bluetooth.
Start your TV.
Mi 9T Pro: Settings
> Connection & sharing
> Cast
> Enable Cast
Be patient the first time. Repeat the procedure a few times.

This is correct when you use a WiFi connection for your TV.
When you use an UTP connection for your TV to for example your router it does not matter what kind of WiFi network you are using.
Both (2,4Ghz of 5Ghz) will then work.
Thanks everybody for your answers.
@hewlett2008, thanks but I didn't explain well my request: I would like to mirror phone's screen to TV, so the application you suggest does not accomplish this task.
@actiyo and @Snah001, I made all possible test but did not manage to make it work.
I tried with TV connected via cable and via wireless, and both times activating the cast feature on the phone didn't make anything happen.
In a random attempt I also manually added TV to the phone via wi-fi direct, and TV did ask me to authorize the connection, but even in that case the cast feature did not work.
I find it weird that this feature is listed as one of MIUI 11's improvements and it just does not work with a large selling TV producer like Samsung.
Any help will be appreciated.
Double post.
Weird. I can cast to my KU6400 Samsung.
I think mine is a quite recent model: MU6400, 49"; I purchased it a couple of years ago.
I used to mirror my phone to quickly show some news articles or funny Whatsapp messages to my family, and I miss this feature quite bit.
I'm not a total newbie of technology issues, but this problem is baffling to me.
I guess I will end purchasing a Amazon Firestick or something similar just to use this feature, but would try anything before because the TV is hanging on a wall and any device connected to HDMI would not be nice to see.
Cast problems
I have a Xiaomi mi9t pro . I have 2 tv . One a LG newer one and one Samsung "old" one . Both smart TV . After update from miui 10 to miui 11 cast won't work on the Samsung TV from the app like YouTube. Tried everything . No matter what I selected 2,4 ghz or 5 ghz network . With screen mirroring is working , but I find this kind of useless because I don't like how I see the movies in frames . Anyone with some ideas ? I have 2 another phones in my house , both working with the Samsung TV so it's clear is not the tv the problem !

Well, screen mirroring is exactly what I'd like to use.
Could you please tell me what are the exact steps you perform (on both phone and TV) to activate screen mirroring?
Thanks in advance!
