Hey guys,
I just got a fire tablet 10 hd and I realized that there's no way built-in to mirror my screen to my smart TV. With my Samsung phone there's a mirror setting right in the settings menu that allows me to mirror to my TV or my fire stick. I also have Air Server installed on my Xbox One which allows me to mirror my phone there, too.
The fire tablet 10 doesn't seem to have any way to mirror anything. I downloaded Air Server onto my fire tablet via the google play store and I was able to mirror the fire tablet to my fire stick, but after, like, 20 seconds, it says "air served closed" and it automatically disconnects the fire tablet from the fire stick.
My question is, is there a reliable app that I could install that could get my fire tablet 10 to mirror to Samsung Smart TV, Fire stick, and or Apple TV? I have access to the google play store.

Can you use the Chromecast and install Google Home from Google Play store
If you don't have a Chromecast. Android TV has a Chromecast built-in. You have it.
Or use TeamViewer.

Oi - please stop responding to old posts (in this instance nearly two years old) with incorrect, irrelevant or incomplete information. Google Home will not run well, if at all, on FireOS v5. Play Store is not natively available on Amazon devices; side loaded builds have proven increasingly unreliable although it remains a viable option. Best course of action is to unlock and install a custom ROM (which brings other problems) but there isn't enough info in the OP to determine if this is even possible.

Hi XDA,
is it possible to share the screen of the Fire to my FireTV?
Like it works with the Fire Phone or the HDX Tablets?
Thanks for any information you can give me!
Regards,
EZTEQ
Just tried it yesterday, I couldn't find it, it is just the FireTV remote, no share screen.
Maybe install all cast on the fire tablet then install allcast reciever on the fire tv?
Maybe after installing the Google Playstore, install the chromecast app?
How do I cast the netflix app on the amazon fire 7 tablet (5th generation) to the tv.
I have rooted and sideloaded all the apps for chromecast to work but netflix just isn't supported???
I saw something about editing the Build.prop but everytime I try that and reboot it goes back to the same thing it was before?
Does anyone have any information cause I mainly bought this table to be able to cast.... bad idea I guess.
I am definitely newer to this, scoured the site and everything regarding miracast is pretty old. Looking to cast to a fire stick 1st gen, or Xbox one. Please help¡
I have never been able to get it to work on the HD+, either. It works OK on my LG devices (running stock firmware).

I am running lnos_ovation-ota-NMF26Q.170104 on my HD+ and can mirror the Nook screen (audio+video) to my Chromecast using the "Cast" button in Quick Settings (note that the "Cast" button is not included by default and needs to be added by editing the Quick Settings).
With some apps like Netflix and YouTube I can choose between the Chromecast or directly to the Panasonic TV ("Viera 60"). With native casting and some other apps like NBC Media the only choice is Chromecast.

OK, thank you, I'll have to check out the chromecast. Thought I'd be doing myself a favor with my kindle and fire stick for mirroring, but that's been a pain in the ass and they are made by the same company. Very Moody. Then I got handed this nook HD+ and like it, hated the b&n os, but that was easily remedied.
Now, when I try to mirror\cast, its like the nook doesn't even try to scan for devices, its like "piss on it, I'm not even going to look", so is that normal? sans the Chromecast \app allowed mirroring...
Thank you guys for your help guys

Here is a brief description of various competing casting "standards": http://www.howtogeek.com/177145/wir...ed-airplay-miracast-widi-chromecast-and-dlna/ -- it helps explain why certain combinations of source/sink don't mix.
Trying to find a way to screen mirror with a Fire HD 8 (6th Generation) running 5.3.2.1 (no root). Pretty happy with the device, but this is a major let down that I can't seem to find a way to simply mirror what is on screen on the tablet to a smart tv.
I have had some success with several apps that allow me to mirror Movies, Music, and Web to the smart tv, but nothing I have found let's me see what is on screen exactly (or at least start any app and mirror that. App chooses are limited) I would love to play some of the non-App Store games I have loaded onto the device on my big screen. Seems like Amazon has taken away the ability to wirelessly or wired screen mirror. Disappointing to see feature disappear and the version of the OS seems to be un-rootable as of now.
Looking for ANY app or device that can enable this.

Looks like a no-go until root is secured on FireOS 5.3.2.1 for your device (even then no assurances): https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201829500
I know about the Play Store thread for the fire tablets but they are all running different OS firmware versions to the 5.2.4.1 running on my Fire Stick.
I have tried the original combo on that thread and i had the both the services and the store icons there.
The services gave me a white screen with "google settings" in the top left corner of the screen but then went back to the previous screen.
The store went black for around 10 secs then said the version of the play store i was using was incompatible with my device.
I am only really trying to install it so i can use one app that needs Google Play services to use, BT Sport.
Looks like it is easier to be a pirate and watch it through Kodi illegally than it is to watch it legally.
Has anybody managed to get the play store up and running on a fire stick since the THAT update killed all amazon devices?
Am i wasting my time trying a few different combos?
Just thought i would ask this question now and hopefully have an answer of sorts by the time i get home from work tomorrow.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
This is the wrong place to post it... Also Amazon's FireOS for the FireTV platform is completely different from the FireOS on the tablets. The FireOS for FireTV broke Google Play. Your more likely with the Leanback version of Google Play (It doesn't work either.) as it is for Android TV.
