Screen mirroring not working - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having issues with Screen mirroring on the Tab S2?
It will recognise my Roku3 and try to connect, then fail to connect. I then get a toast message on the screen "UNABLE TO START SCREEN MIORRORING BECAUSE OF A HARDWARE ISSUE". Issue isn't with the Roku, Screen Mirroring works fine with my HTC M8 and Tab4. This issue was present prior to rootng.

I have this problem to.No problem with my galaxy s6.

This works, it fixed the SM on this tablet. Edit your build.prop file (system-buildprop) using a root file manager and add this line at the bottom without the quotation marks "wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable", save the file and reboot the tablet. PS you need root for this fix.

Drop down menu press edit and a "Screen Mirror" icon should be available

I've not been able to get the "Screen Mirror" icon to work either with any of my devices (a Raspberry Pi running Kodi, a Sumvision Cyclone Micro 4 or an iPush HDMI dongle) but what has worked with all three is by using the "Quick Connect" function that you can activate just below the quick settings panel, and then selecting the relevant device on the same network.
You then either get options for mirroring or streaming movies/audio/pictures to the device, depending on what they allow (the Sumvision can support mirroring via Miracast receiver mode, the other two only stream although not an issue in my case as it was basically playing a movie on the TV that I was after doing anyway).

I have this mod and worked good for months but suddenly screen morroring stop working. I restored my tablet via twrp to a previous setup when mirroring has been working but nothing.
Any help?

Worked for me thanks. I mean the prop edit suggestion.

Enable tethering blindly

My SGN display was broken including the LCD, hence i'm not able to see anything. I'd like to access and control the device from my PC, what is the best app for this?
My main goal right now is to enable tethering. The touch still works, so i'm confident it can be done.
In the interim, could someone take screenshots of each step from the home screen to enable tethering and post them for me?
I'm going to try and enable it blindly.
Thanks in advance.
The device is a N7000 running stock ICS.
I had a similar problem...

I won't say it's easy but if you are on a Samsung based ROM you might have a chance. (Obviously you'll need to buy a MHL cable though.)
Alternatively, if you've got USB Debugging turned on then you might be able to use Droid Explorer which includes a remote control add-on.
Yes, mhl cable +hdmi is the best chance

Hit Home
Swipe to Unlock
Hit Menu
Hit approx 1cm above menu button (You're now in Settings)
Hit roughly the middle of the screen (on the left hand side - its just easier on the side) "More"
Hit approximately 1cm down from the middle of the screen - "Tethering....."
Press approximately 1 inch down from the Samsung logo.. - "USB Tethering"
Good luck...
Thanks a million.
Haven't gotten it done yet, but i feel much closer.
Trying to get to settings from swiping down from the top of the screen as i'm not familiar with the other method.

Assuming you have swipe to Unlock
Just lock the screen with the power button - Press power button again then;
Swipe anywhere to unlock
and then press the Menu key..
The Settings option is about 1 cm or so above the Menu key
Lol, i just figured out what the menu key is. I must admit it wasn't a key i used alot.
Something else i just found out, the bottom 1/4 of the screen, touch doesn't work.
I'm starting to lose hope of getting this done.
Could you swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification screen, there is a settings link there, thats where i'm use to getting to the settings from. I think with a screen shot of that i'll be able to get it done.
Got it done. Found a pic on the internet of the screen i was talking about. Would still like a proper pic. :good:

Any chance you have AirDroid installed? It has a live view (screenshot) in pc browser ability built in, it can help if you don't have an MHL adapter.
If not, force an install from accessing play store from pc.

Chromecast Screen Mirroring on Sony Xperia Z2

Hey guys,
As you all know with the 1.7 Version of the chromecast app google enabled screen mirroring on selected devices. Since a Nexus 5 is a selected device i decided to try to make my Sony Xperia Z2 a Nexus 5
I changed the following original Sony build.prop settings from:
Code:
ro.build.product=D6503
ro.product.brand=Sony
ro.product.name=D6503
ro.product.device=D6503
to:
Code:
ro.build.product=hammerhead
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=hammerhead
ro.product.device=hammerhead
I took the build.prop settings from a original Nexus 5 build.prop file.
Tested and working...it's great !
I guess you can easily adapt this to any other phone, so just a quick hack.
regards,
nEUTR0n
Haha, nice

Yes, preferably an xposed module to trick the app into working or at least a hacked app. Not everyone wants their phone thinking it's a Nexus. Thanks for the heads up though!
I downloaded this apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
Works very well! (didn't want to break my build.prop as well)
I used the mirror enabler above, worked a treat also
yes, this enabler is working great!!
Screen casting is just what I was missing! Now this device is almost perfect!
Is it possible mod mirror screen in car use...
My alpine supports mirror screen, but i dont like googlemaps, so
it would be awesome if i can change it like navigon etc...
And if it supports whole phone mirroring.... I havent found support thread for this
kind of stuff...
Original Android Development? Really?

1st, you need the chromecast app, so install it from play store if you dont have it.
In the Mirrorenabler app, make sure you enable "Mirror Status"
If your phone can see the chromecast, just press the menu button next to "Devices" in the chromecast app and choose "Cast Screen"
If your phone doesnt see the chormecast, then make sure you are on the same wifi network as your chromecast.
Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot, following your instructions, it works now!

[APP] [ROOT REQUIRED] Chromecast mirroring (screencasting) works!

The Chromecast only allows certain devices to use it's new mirroring functions. The OPO is apparently not on that list. But, thanks to this handy app, the Chromecast will now recognize my OPO and allow for full mirroring!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
- Install the app and open it.
- Enable "Mirror Status:" and enable "QuickSettings Mirror:"
- Either open the chromecast app, and find mirroring in the left panel, or
- Pull down into your quick settings and see the icon for "cast screen"
There is a small bit of lag, which would mean some games that require split second timing would be hard to play on the big screen, but others work fine, like FIFA 14 for example. Any video site (that doesn't already support Chromecast) will work perfectly as well.
i try this but there is no audio out from my oneplus one only from youtube
Will this make my chromecast work as miracast that allow screen mirroring?

Allcast screens to TV or just PC. We are talking about screen mirroring and not Allcasts normal feature right?
A little easier way (for some)
Thanks for one of the popular and working solutions.. I was just about to apply that and I just wondered what happens if I try "Cast Screen" option in my One with my Samsung Smart TV, and I got it working with little efforts! Here's the thread I posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/howto-oneplus-one-cast-screen-smart-tv-t2938752
Might be helpful for somebody who wants to go an easy way if possible.

I found a little write up that makes it a lot easier and more stable. First download root explorer go to system folder then build prop. Find
ro.product.device=A0001 and change A0001 to hammerhead and save changes. Now go to settings / display and under cast screen option your chrome cast will now appear then click on it. Now once WiFi on and you pull down quick settings you will see cast option appear.

That happened to me once when I was kind of away from the TV or when I thoroughly covered back of my phone. So I assume that would be because of weak Wi-Fi Direct connection between devices. Also, I noticed increase in delays and some jitter in video. So this surely seems like connectivity issue.
May be trying without a case or with WiFi antena area open/unblocked should reflect the improvement.

Note 5 Screen Mirroring problem

I have just bought a note 5 to find there is no screen mirroring on this phone.
I have also tried to download the Samsung link app but it says it is not compatible with this phone.
Does anyone have any ideas, i only want to stream my videos to a Samsung T.V.
So far this phone has been a huge dissapointment, no external memory and now they take away something i tended to use everyday.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Well since the OP didn't say it wasn't working, I didn't feel the need to say how.
The OP said screen mirroring isn't on the device. Simply pulling down the notification shade shows the button to enable it.
Funny
If your phone is not rooted you should have no problem with screen mirroring if it's rooted you simply need to add a few words so that you can allow it to work again. It works it's there
Note 5 doesn't sees chromecast as screen mirroring device... Anyone have this issue?
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
You can also access screen mirroring from the Gallery by clicking share, screen mirroring is one of the options.
Pull down the notification panel and press "Edit" should be on the top right corner and it should pop up there
I don't think chromecast works with the built in screen mirroring. You have to use the chromecast app it's just as easy.
Go to About Device in Settings. Click on Status. Scroll to the bottom. If it say anything but "official" you won't be able to use a bunch of different Samsung apps that do a status check.
I had the same problem. Pull down notification bar select quick connect.
Figured I'd look into your request. First goto menu on Samsung TV, then goto network. Should then see a screen mirroring choose, select that. Then like mentioned, select screen mirroring in drop-down and Samsung TV choice should appear. In future you may just need to activate screen mirror after this initial connect. This was done from my Note 4, as well as my Note 5!
Hope this was helpful.
I'm having trouble connecting the screening mirroring with my tv...I have the Samsung all share hub...help!
hey . ive rooted my phone and in the status it doesnt say official but custom .. ofcourse cos its rooted
now what steps do i need to go through to enable screen mirrorring ?
thanks
My N920T is rooted so of course Status says Custom. Screen mirroring works perfectly fine for me with an Amazon Fire TV.

Thank you for that tip! I just upgraded from a Note 4 (SM-910T) to the Note 5 (SM-920I) and lost the menu option for screen mirroring. Your instructions worked perfectly. Annoying that we have to do that, but glad that the functionality is still there.
I found a tricky way to mirror video from Note5 to tv.
Pick any picture from your gallery.
At the bottom , there is a pop- up screen , choose share option.
Then choose mirroring option. Then your phone will look for tv or devices that you want to connect. After you choose that tv or device. Your phone will hook up and everything that shows on note5 includeing video will show on tv.
Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter
My Note 5 with Lolipop 5.1.1 doesn't work with my Microsoft Wirless Display Adapter...it sees it and tries to connect but never does it. My Note 3 on Kitkat 4.4.2 works better than anything I have every seen with this adapter, there is almost no lag! (unlike with Chromecast) I read that Lolipop broke a lot of phone's Screen Mirroring capabilities. Anyone know why or how to fix it yet?

Unfortunately, I haven't had a Samsung in years, but a post in the S7 Q/A forum suggests using an app called Miracast Shortcut.

Hi, thanks, but thats exactly what im doing in profile, using the bluetooth connect to car to open the app, but the app doesnt auto connect to the cast device (and there is no option as far as i see in the app todo so), so the point in auto connect to the device cannot be provided like this in my usecase.
thanks for the tip with BT, that is my trigger already to start the action, but the action "auto connect to a cast device" ... is not given to me.

There is a tasker plugin by the same developer called AutoCast. Maybe it will help you.
I don't do any of this, so obviously I don't have any personal experience to offer. You might try on the tasker Google groups forum.

was a great idea, sadly this app (beta state) only supports google devices, no miracast device, but that function would have been the winner, thanks again
Probably a part of the problem is that Google removed miracast support from "stock" android awhile ago. That dates back to the nexus 6 days.

contacted the developer of the autocast plugin and he confirmed, only works with google cast devices like i (sadly) expected.
thanks anyway for the hint.
That's always working to automate the tap(s) required. You could use Tasker to open the app, AutoInput UI query to determine when it's open, then an AutoInput action to enable the device connection.
probably yes, but thats now too much read and trial and error for now, thanks.
