Hello
I just bought Google Home. Configured it and looks like everything is fine...a part the fact that cannot connect to the Sony TV I got in the end of last year.
It's a new model of 2016 and my phone and tablet can cast to it, the Google Home application see it but I don't know why I cannot add it. I also updated to the last version of Google Cast app for Android TV. When I go to settings "add TV & Speakers" it just shows Google Home, I click "add", it scan the network..see it (!!!), already place the blue check, I press add...and nothing. It goes back to the previous sceen and nothing changed, it shows the Google Home device and nothing more.
I tried to...
- Rename the TV
- Clear the Google Cast App cache
- Restart the TV
- Uninstall and reinstall the uptades of Google Cast
- Change network
Don't know anymore what to do but I really would like to use Google Home full potential and cast video/pictures to my TV via this device.
Hope anyone can help.
Thanks !

Fecking Sony
Yes, me too.
Although when I first had the device it was the only thing on my network to cast to. So "Play Music on my TV" worked. As soon as other cast devices were added it needed a specific name. So I too went through renaming etc. but nothing I tried worked. I reset devices; wiped the cache and data for Google home on my phone and retried. Nothing!
So I went back to square one. I reset my TV name back to its model number and then removed it from the network. I removed all my devices from Google home and reset Google home. Then asking Google home to "play music on my TV" was accepted as a command but nothing was heard from the speakers. I'm not surprised; after all, it is a Sony Android TV. Its got to be the worst Android TV implementation ever in the history of mankind
I have same problem on my new Sony TV from this Year.
I can't connect my Google Home to my Sony Bravia either.
What a bummer.
Sony are rolling out Android 7.0 to slightly older devices this spring (2018) - I'm hoping this resolves that issue.

In order to run demos and project (for large audiences) what appears on the screen of my Nexus S, I'm looking for the best app (not necessarily free) able to do that via USB or WiFi.
Have you addressed the same need in the past?
Any suggestion?
Thanks
P.S. Being able to do that without installing any special software on the pc would be a plus
As far as I know, our phones don't have mhl support, so I don't think that you can do this. However there is an app Team viewer, where you can get your pc desktop on your phone. If that doesn't work maybe you can do a gallery of screenshots from the phone to the pc to show what you want? I don't know, hopefully that helps.
its low res but check out webkey in the market. it has a web based screen viewing function as part of its security features, pretty handy.
Hey,
There is an app called "MirrorOP" in the Googleplay market. Install it and then install "MirrorOP Reciever" for PC. Then you will be able to get your phone screen to PC. In the settings you can change the resolution and quality, so you can incerase fps to 25 fps (on the lowest settings).
PS: your nexus must be rooted

Nevermind. Read the OP wrong.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitmaptest&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5iaXRtYXB0ZXN0Il0.hey, try this. Crystal screen in play store.
If you just want static real-time screenshots, e.g., no animation, try AirDroid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid). Your phone must have root and grant AirDroid root access to capture screenshots.
This is overkill but if you have the options, it works great.
If you have a Samsung SmartTV connecting to the same network your phone is on, download the app called SwipeIt on both the TV and the phone. You can then use SwipeIt to project your phone screen to the TV.
Thank you all for the kind help.
I really thought this was easier to do.
I tried most of the apps you recommended and they generally require an internet connection rather than a simpler one-to-one connection to the PC (in my case this could be an issue).
I'm now oriented to just record a session, download the video to the PC and play it to demo what I had to demo.

Hi All,
Got rooted and Market installed and working the only thing I'm missing its seems is some of the google services, namely Gmail, Gmusic and Chrome
Gmail - installs, says sync is not enabled and crashes
Gmusic - installs and works perfectly with local music, knows about my google account, but will not show any of he music in the cloud
Chrome - installs (sideload) and works fine but will not sync up and show other browsers tabs etc.
Is there some google 'sync' service I'm missing?
Stuff I've installed for google is;
GoogleLoginService.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Many thanks
From what I understand you have to install the apps again after the framework if you didn't do it in that order.

Thanks, I tried that last night - same thing.
Are there different versions of the framework floating about I wonder?
Has no one else seen this issue?

Yeah, and the GoogleLoginService too. I put them all into the /system/app. Unfortunately i ended up returning it to amazon today. The price point on the device is good. But it seemed very unpolished. Bluetooth headset would disconnect after 15 minutes of watching a movie, but stayed connected fine when listening to music. Web browsing was very slow. If i scrolled the page It would just be white and i'd have to wait 1-2 seconds for silk to render the page. Also my unit had some very bad light bleed, see image below. Not to mention i could never find the buttons (power/volume) I think i'm going to pay a little more and get a nexus, it's probably worth the extra money.

EDIT!
I download the apk from the link below. No root needed! Works ok. App is a little blurry, guessing it was made for the smaller phone screen.
But hey, FREE MUSIC and no ads. Sweet! Love the "Dial" where we can switch music on the fly. Using it with my car's bluetooth connection.

yeah it works fine, thank you.
I saw a module related to this player in xposed, I think it helps those that can not run it. if you had any problems, maybe that will help you.
With the recent updates to Soundcloud angering me, and Pandora and other similar apps just not as appealing to me, I'm glad to see that there is a version out there for my 7.0 tab 3. I'm going to give this a shot after I finish jailbreaking my 5s (attempting a 7.1.2 update). Now the debate will continue... Samsung Tablet, Digital Camera... should I go for the phone or stick with iFruit... time will tell I guess this October.
Works with no root?
I have an HTC One and I downloaded the app and it installed but when I open the app it says device not supported. Am I missing something or was the "no-root" misadvertised. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't find my Chromecast when clicking on Smart View on my S21 Ultra. It still works on my Tab S4. What gives? Is there a fix or work around for this? Streaming still works with Google Home, but Google home does not work with, for example with Samsung TV. Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

Do you find your Samsung tv via smart things?
Just pull down the notifications and click on devices.
Smart view + chromecast has been disabled since One UI 3 I think. It'll still work with Samsung TVs. You now have to use the Google home app and enable screen mirroring.

Well that's kinda annoying
Since SmartView 8.2.20.14 now has the "Google Cast" option which re-enables SmartView to find and mirror the screen on Google Chromecast, is there a way to force the app to update on my phone as it is a system app?

Hi there,
Please help me with a problem which I cant seem to be able to solve, and honestly I am going nuts...
I have a Pixel 6 phone and 3 accounts on the phone. (1 main, 1 work and 1 personal)
My Google Home used to work fine until a few days ago when I started getting "Sorry cant reach Mi Home" etc. errors after voice commands via Google Assistant.
I checked GH using my main google (phone) account and all Xiaomi (Mi Home) devices were offline , and some Tuya too. I tried to re-connect and unlink, but no luck as I have been getting errors :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
No matter how I tried, no luck. All Xiaomi (Mi Home) devices stayed to be offline. All devices in Mi Home are online and work as they should. (Xiaomi , Yeelight etc.) Strangely Yeelight still works, but Tuya Smart devices also started acting up :
I deleted, unlinked everything, deleted my Home and all but I still have 14 devices "associated" "linked to you" , all being OFFLINE. I simply dont know how to get rid off the connected, associated devices and start from "scratch".
In my "personal" account on the phone I was able to link all devices, they are online and work if I turn them ON/OFF but Google Assistant is not responsive, still keeps saying and showing :
So basically I can not use Google Assistant for voice commands, it does not pick up my other accounts devices, and the primary (google) account is acting up as above.
Guys, can you help me? Is there any solution how to get all my devices working with my primary account linked to my phone / GA / GH ?
I cant even send an invitation from the working home, GH also gives me a strange error for a day now :
Guys , please help me. I am slowly but surely losing my mind
Thank you!
I'm on the same boat.
I have some Xiaomi devices (vacuum, mesh system, wifi plug, etc) and I can't connect them to my Assistant.
