I moved to P20 Pro from Note 8 and can't figure out how to use Miracast to display my pictures and video on any of my smart TVs. On note 8 it was just an icon appeared within the gallery app and then you picked which TV you wanted to show it on.
I feel like this option was on my phone but since an update has gone or been turned off but can't figure it out.

Settings - Device connection - MirrorShare
Also on pull down menu, select edit, and drag MirrorShare to active, then you just have to pull down and press that on and on
Thanks for the reply. When I use mirror share it doesn't tend to find the TV. Also if I am only looking to cast 1 or 2 pictures just quickly this option takes a lot longer than what I could do on the Note 8.

Kind XDA users,
I figured out a way to stream YouTube using a Note 4 on Android version 4.4.4 while the screen is off.
Also tried this on S6 and different phones on v5.0+.
Sadly it does not work on these models / versions.
Please note I use the default browser, I have no clue or it would work using a different browser. Tried to search or it was posted before, could not find it, thought I should share it, so here you go:
1. ) Find a YouTube video and launch fullscreen (from stock browser).
2.) Drag your status bar all the way down while the video plays fullscreen.
3.) Press the power button, screen should turn off but the audio keeps playing.
Edit: It seems that when you create a floating window and launch a fullscreen video in it, then unfocus the window (by for example tapping the homescreen) and powering off the device: results in the same thing.
Perhaps this way it would work on 4.4.4+ not sure, can not test at this moment.
Kind regards, Stefan.
I just tried the second trick with note 4 and it didn't work
Guys, for this feature search for OGYoutube.
You can cast the Note 5's screen to a Chromecast by finding and opening the Chromecast app, opening the hamburger menu and selecting "Cast screen / audio". On my Nexus 7, there's a case option on the the quick settings. Has anyone found a quick method to initiate casting, or a a cast widget? Or maybe there's a simple setting somewhere I've missed?
Thoughts?
I don't know of any other quicker way to get to the cast to get to the cast screen option. I thought about playing with tasker and seeing if I could come up with something

I'd been hoping to find a widget that would do this. I wonder if marshmallow will bring something.
Same here. I use it often and a widget would be awesome.

I can't remember how to mirror my TV to my phone. I know I have done this before I factory reset my phone. I have a 2016 Samsung Smart TV and it shows up in Smart View but only allows me to view my phone on the TV not mt TV on my phone. Anyone else been able to make this work or am I really making this up? Thanks!
Maybe this can help you

Figured it out. It is in the Samsung Connect app. Click my devices. Then click on your smart tv. Then click the ellipses (menu dots) in top right corner. Then scroll down to View TV on Phone.
Hi can someone please help me find this?
Samsung made so many changes I can't keep up and I can no longer find this super cool feature. I could watch TV on my phone and now I can't find it for months.

Samsung Galaxy S8+
Need to mirror TV back on my phone. Option was there but now missing.
Smartview is a redundant mirroring app for inages and videos..
Update:
I found it. As of Feb 2019 it's hidden deep within the new Smart Things app. (Not the classic). Open app - tap on devices in the middle of the lower bottom row - find your TV , if not there then you must add , TV and phone must be on same wifi of course - tap on TV - hit top right 3 dot button - choose show TVon Phone! Voila!
Hello guys,
i've been a sony user for years now and recently decided to join the Huawei community. So some days back i got myself a pretty P10 (L29).
I noticed that in the quick drawer menu (pull down from homescreen), there is no cast button. I usually do that to connect wireless to my soundbar which supports google cast.
Now, i know the phone supports cast and even audio casting, coz it works through an app called screen mirroring in app store. The app does exactly the same thing as the cast option in the quick drawer.
Now, is there a way to get the cast button in the quick menu?
Cheers
Would like to know as well

Found it though I don't believe it supports Chrome Cast.
I have 2 Chrome keys in the house and it can't see them.
Actually the mirrorshare feature on huawei supports miracast technology which is different from google cast.
I know the phone supports google cast, only the quick option is missing in the app drawer..Maybe in EMUI 8 it will be present

Download the Google Home app for chromecast in the Playstore.
Hi guys
A few questions on EMUI Desktop Mode. I recently grabbed a second hand Nexdock 2 which I plan to use for travelling and powered by my phone's Desktop Mode (PO30 Pro of course).
My question is does anybody know how to default the mode it launches in, from PHone to Desktop?
Additionally, anybody know how to remove some of the limits relating to media? YouTube 1080p/4k videos seem to only play in 360 or 480 depending on the video...very strange.
Use web browser to do it. Eventually use Youtube Vanced and in options search for ,,use unsupported resolutions,, or something like that. This option eneables to play 4k content on phone. But you have to turn it on.
