Long time lurker here. Running CM6 RC1. Nothing fancy. Haven't had a question that I couldn't find an answer to until now. You guys pretty much cover everything.
Anyway here's the issue. When I try to turn on either my bluetooth of wi/fi, it just doesnt happen. When I check the Bluetooth box (settings/wireless & networks/blutooth), it tells me "turning on..." and then acts like nothing happened. When I try WiFi, same thing except it says "error" after "turning on...". I've never really used the bluetooth before, but I know the wifi worked.
I fiiiiinally got a bluetooth adapter for my comp and am anxious to try out some of the remote control apps. Any help would awesome.

Just try reflashing the rom first, no wipe
Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knows a way to mirror my screen to my tv. Its a Samsung smart tv with wifi. Right now im running Cataclysm M rom and I've tried a few different ways with no luck. I've seen a few videos that show kitkat had an option under display to mirro screen but its not there in M. I know i can use Chrome cast but i dont have a network at home right now. Any ideas?
Did it work on LP, that is did you actually use it with out being on a network together?
Would seem the devices need to be networked in someway...
Have you tried using your phones hotspot and connecting your TV to it? I would imagine this would answer the "same network" issue... Even though it may not be ideal or elegant.
I never tried it on LP, i got the tv after i moved to M, I see there are ways to do it with a Miricast dongle and wifi direct, but their a bit pricey, i was just hoping someone knew another way to do it.
And ya, i can tether to it and watch youtube and stuff, but it'd be nice to be able to just mirror the screen and not use tethering.
Screen mirroring Motorola one
Hello,
I have a root Motorola one Android 10, but I can't share my screen to my Samsung smart TV, i search a lot but I didn't have success, first I edited the build.prop lines,
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 (before it was persist.debug.wfd.enable=0)
persist.hwc.enable_vds=0 (before it was persist.hwc.enable_vds=1)
I added this in the end
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
I added another line but I don't remember all because I erased it, i only remember the beginning
Persist.sys....
But it can't work, in my TV only show something like
"Screen mirroring: motorola is connecting" but then the signal is lost
Nothing that I tried work, only one thing is good and is that in my cellphone in the option of share screen after change this line: persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 (before it was persist.debug.wfd.enable=0) I could activate wireless screen and it let me TRY to connect with my TV but without success.
In other post show the last configuration with an extra thing, I should edit a file (wfdconfig.xml) and it supposed to stay in this direction system/etc/ wfdconfig.xml. But I search in all files and I didn't find.
Maybe someone can help me.
Thanks.

As far as I know, Chromecast is the only way to cast from Android. Your television probably doesn't have Chromecast built-in, so you'll need to add a Chromecast receiver.
Anyone having issue unable to screen cast from Google Home to chromecast? It will disconnect immediately upon clicking the screen cast button. There is no issue casting directly from apps such as youtube etc, but I want to mirror cast my screen. It works previously on my S7 Edge and Note 7...
Thanks!
Did it yesterday, it works just fine. Had the same issue you're describing with my S7E occasionally. Would kill the Home app and reboot the Chromecast, then it would start working.
Works for me. After I reset chromecast, but I'm sure it was my flaky CC not the phone?

Hmm I did a factory reset on the Chromecast, still the same problem. I even reinstall the Google Home. It shows "Disconnect" immediately after I click cast screen, damn annoying..

I've been researching this problem for the past week. What i've gathered so far is that some process interferes with mirroring after my phone has been running for a while... If I restart my phone, or chromecast - it works no problems. It also works casting netflix, youtube, etc. I have a samsung TV, and when i try to connect my phone through TV, it also works. I called Chromecast yesterday, thinking that it could be a defective chromecast device, but it works other than the above issue. So I think that some process gets activated some time shortly after phone reboot, and that's why when i press 'cast screen/audio' from Home app, it says 'disconnecting', because some other process is already working... I will be calling Samsung Tech support tonight, to see if they have any clue, although i don't get my hopes up. If their tech support guys are the same as their customer service reps, I won't get far with them.
I also tried any and all settings changes that i could think of, and nothing works. The best solution for me is either to restart my phone prior to mirroring, or just connect from TV to the phone (it works that way), not from phone to TV. If I figure out a solution, I'll try to update. I have a similar thread on Android Central in Note 8 General section that i started Sunday, 10/15/2017. No one seems to know the solution, and not many people have encountered this (you are the first person that i found with the same problem other than myself).
Just found this app by Samsung called "ScreenMirroring Patch", will try out after work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...patch&hl=en&rdid=com.sec.screenmirroringpatch

My networks are the same - Chromecast and the phone. I had the problem you had previously, it would continuously drop the connection... This isn't the same problem, it just says ' connecting' and never does if i try to mirror my screen through Smart View (in my quick settings panel), or 'disconnecting' if i select 'cast screen/audio' through Home app.

This is the exact problem that I am having and the same resolution that I came to. I literally have to restart my phone every time I go to cast. I've had an issue where I left it casting for a while, but the phone seemed to forget and shut it off. The stream was still going on the Chromecast, but I could not disconnect with my phone via Netflix or through the Home app. After I rebooted, I was able to disconnect through the Home app.
I searched for a bout 10 days after I got my phone and found nothing about this. No answers, not even a mention of anyone else having the issue. I really thought I was the only one.

So I spoke to Samsung + Tech support, and they didn't know what the problem was. They offered for me to send in my device for repairs. I am kind of hesitant since i don't know if that would fix the problem, and it will take 9-11 business day, i don't have a decent phone to use for 2 weeks... He also suggested that it was a software bug, and that i wait for software update. Since we should be getting Oreo by the end of the year (fingers crossed), maybe i just wait until we get an update and see if it's fixed. I did a factory reset on Friday, but didn't check for the issue right away, only after installing all of my apps. Really don't know what to do... Hopeful that someone else discovers the solution - or concrete cause. Oh well... I will never buy directly from Samsung again. Verizon would have sent me a replacement, and I would have it in 2 days, and wouldn't be without a phone for 2 weeks.
I was curious so I tried screen mirroring to my Amazon Fire TV. Tries to connect but fails. My Note 8 will say connecting to Fire TV & my Fire TV will say connecting to Note 8 but it fails & disconnects.
I don't think wifi type has anything to do with it. My Note 5 screen mirrors fine & my Note 5 is connected to 2.4ghz & my Fire Tv is connected to 5ghz.
Tried restarting my Note 8 & even tried connecting it to the 5ghz also, no luck. I never use it but damn, just knowing that it doesn't work is not good for my health!
I recently added an exchange account, and remember a while back some phone options weren't available because they weren't secure enough and not allowed by exchange policy. I removed the account, cleared cache, and restarted the phone. It worked (usually does after a restart),but I'll will check again tomorrow
I did a search (outside of XDA) & it appears that a lot of people are having this problem with the Note 8, S8 also. I tried changing the resolution on both my Note 8 & Fire TV, still no luck for me but some say it worked for them.
Can you link to the other site's discussions? Thanks
Lower your screen resolution?

First 3 results that pop up on Google. On Samsung forums so they're pretty useless.

Tried it, 2 posts up, even with restart after changing. No luck for me.
Wow, I didn't see those. Thank you, at least mine works after restart, and now I know that's it's probably a bug, not my phone is defective

So I changed my screen resolution to 450 as in the instructions in the picture, and haven't restarted the phone since about 8pm last night, and it works, it mirrors without restart - thank you!
Edit: I also removed my Exchange account, so that could have also been the cause
My other question is how to disable volume limiter when watching videos - any type, Netflix, showbox? I can disable it for headphones or Bluetooth through sound settings, but not for videos through the phone's speaker. Thanks in advance

I think I spoke too soon . Yesterday it worked all day from the day before, but this morning I tried to connect, and no luck. Oh well... I think it's a software bug. Hopefully they'll fix it in Oreo
I am running a Pixel XL 1 with Oreo and having this problem, anyone find a solution?
So as the title says, I can't use the cast/screen mirroring feature in phone. I just cannnot connect to any tv
Whenever I try to cast, it doesn't show any devices at all. Null. and using the button from the notification dropdown, it just searches endlessly.
Some notes:
1. No problem with network. No problem with TV. Other phones work just fine, and doesn't take more than a minute to find device.
2. I tried not only on my TV but on other TV's as well with cast feature. My TV is Hisense smart 39", 39A5605.
3. Already did several restarts, disabled active apps (like adguard), still same.
4. My phone is using the latest PIE update (official update but sideloaded)
5. Already tried connecting on the same WiFi network. Still didn't work. Other devices can connect to the TV without the need to connect on the same wifi network.
6. Already tried turning both mobile data and wifi while scanning. still nothing.
7. Already tried disconnecting current wifi connection (set network to 'forget) but left wifi on while scanning. Still no device found.
8. Already tried installing some apps (like Google Home app and other cast app). Nothing.
9. Already went to developer options and turned on 'Wireless Display Certification', but no additional options show up on my cast screen (like listening mode etc). Just plain nothing.
10. There's no three-dot menu on the cast screen that will show 'enable wireless display.' just a search icon on the top right and nothing more.
I really wanted to find a solution, but can't find a specific fix. I hope somebody here will help. Please. Please I'm desparate.
By the way, I know some will say I should do a factory resetting, but please understand if I say no for now. Because if I do, I'll lose a lot of settings and configuration (system-level and app-level), among other hassle it may incur.
Try connecting the TV on the same wifi as your phone and use xcast from playstore. My LG TV is a bit finicky when it comes to connection so xcast helps. But I do have the certification options on the cast screen. Since, you said you sideloaded Pie, if xcast doesn't work, maybe try resetting the device.

Thanks for the kind response. So I tried x-cast (though it uses a different name in the playstore now). Funny thing is, x-cast says it found the tv, which it did, and says it's connected via DLNA. So the phone can actually detect the tv, but why need x-cast? However, TV doesn't show any signs of connections or response. When I also try to play any video inside x-cast app, it's just stuck in loading. (see screenshot). Did I miss any step here?

This is the screen where the TV usually connects. I am sorry but I can't think of any other troubleshooting steps for now.
last night, I did a factory reset. Didn't do anything go. Just caused me a lot of trouble.
