My P30 Pro, my wife mate 20 Pro and my dad mate 20 don't have chrome cast option for whole device screen mirror. And the wireless projection not working at all. I been Google and seem to norm and no one seem to use this much.
App cast like Google photo and YouTube is fine.
Anyone facing issue like this as mine?

Yes, same issue here, the 'Wireless Projection' toggle brings up my Sony Android TV as an option but when i select it nothing happens. Within Youtube, Google Photos etc the cast feature works fine to the same TV. No issues with my previous Pixel or Samsung device.

Indeed. My old LG G6 and my dad Samsung chrome cast work fine. Guess it's huawei own issue in software?
What I found on my Sony Android TV, it will cast when you switch to wireless projection as "input" on TV, where you see the screen saying that it is ready for it.
On Samsung, it took few tries but the TV eventually accepted the cast.
The implementation may be buggy or not fully/widely compliant. Yet.
I suspect EMUI supports Miracast but not Chromecast when using that Wireless Projection action, which is a shame. You have to go through the Google Home app to chromecast screen content.
Hoping this is something Huawei could eventually add.
I am using my chrome cast and it is working fine.

Same issue on the P30 version of the phone to a 2017 Samsung TV. Casting youtube will bring up the app on the TV (although I seem to have to do it twice everytime). However wireless projection does not work.

I found I had to install Mirrcast to be able to see any chromecast devices. Just have to run as an app and not from the pull down bar.

Thank you for this. I'd been looking for a solution. I have a Sony Bravia XBR-55X900E and a Huawei P30 and couldn't get screen mirroring to work (although no problems with my Samsung S8). I'd seen that page on the TV by selecting the Screen Mirroring input but thought it was just a information page. Once that page is shown, I select Wireless Projection on my P30 and now the TV shows up for me to select it. (When I'm not on the Screen Mirroring input, I never see the TV as an option to select on my P30). I click on it and it connects. I wondered if that was a one-time setup thing and if I needed to select the Screen Mirroring input on subsequent connections. I found I do, so now I need to program a way to do that from my Harmony Remote Thanks for solving this for me!
Ignore this post, can't find the delete button.
Reading some ideas here I just came up with a method for Samsung 6300 series that seems to work:
- go to "connection guide" in the source menu
- enter to "mobile device" section and click the button that appears in it. Then the TV will appear in the devices list of the Wireless Projection in the Huawei phone. BUUUT still don't try to connect.
- Leave the connection manager in the TV (go to home, for example)
- now you can select the tv in the phone list and it will connect.
It worked for me twice. I'll have to test it more because I have the feeling the working of this wireless projection between Huawei phone and Samsung TV is a bit random. Hope it works for you.
Hi there,
I bought me a new TV some days ago with Android TV on it. It is a Philips 55 PUS 7304.
Everything works fine on the TV except wireless connection from my Huawei P30Pro.
I just don't see my TV when I turn it on. I even see the TV from my neighbour, but the Philips doesn't appear.
Somebody else got the Problem??
On my Tablet with Lineage OS the TV is there in a second and wireless connection works like a charm. On my Huawei P30Pro I can only stream inside of an app. I can send files to the TV, I can mirror my Netflix, Prime, Google Chrome etc. but I just don't get wireless connection ti run.
Please help me. What am I doing wrong?
Really nobody here with a Philips TV???
Does it work with a Philips with Android TV and the P30Pro for anyone?
I found that if you open up the Google Home app and find your chromecast in there there is a 'cast screen to TV' option - this works 100% fine on my P30 Pro.
As listed above, wireless projection only works if you find the 'mobile device' input of your TV.

Thats exactly what I wanted to test. Desktop mode seems to be a very cool feature but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know exactly why?
Is it really Wi-Fi Direct?
Really strange that such a big company like philips doesn't support this and nearly all others do.
@Nu72 This works for me too. But this doesn't support the Huawei Desktop mode. Otherwise I can cast my tablet too. This is a lineage Android one and it works without any google home.

I'm trying to cast my (Tab S2 9.7) screen to my Chromecast (v2). If I use the Google Cast app it sees my Chromecast, I choose the "cast screen/audio" option then get a warning that the device is not optimised, and when I continue nothing gets cast to the Chromecast - the tablet shows a "connecting to Chromecast" message which never goes away, and the TV/Chromecast screen remains blank.
If I use the Quick Connect option on the tablet it doesn't detect the Chromecast on the list of devices.
I'm running Android 6.0.1 (stock, unrooted).
Any ideas how I can cast to my Chromecast??
Google Cast works on my T810 using stock 6.0.1, so you must have a hardware problem. I'm assuming your connection to your router is OK from both your tablet and the Chromecast device because Google Cast sees the device. But to be sure, I'd re-install the Chromecast device on your network. If that fails, do you have another tablet you can use to test it? Or have you tried another HDMI port on the TV/Monitor? Or another TV? All I can say for sure is this isn't a general problem with MM on the T810 because I use it quite often.

The Chromecast/TV setup seems fine - can cast from my phone no problem. Are you casting using the Google Cast app or the "Quick Connect" Samsung utility?

Samsung's Quick Connect connects via Bluetooth to transfer files. Google Cast connects via your wifi network and that's what I use. There is also a way to cast without a Chromecast device but I think that only works with Samsung Smart TVs.

Eh? According to this, Quick Connect uses Bluetooth OR Wifi to connect to devices including Chromecasts:

Maybe it's supposed to, but I just tried it and the only "nearby device" it found was "Samsung Cloud Print". Even with Bluetooth turned on. It doesn't even see my Desktop Computer, though it does show in my Bluetooth connections.

Interesting....I tried casting to an old Chromecast v1 (in another room) and it worked fine. Then I tried casting to the Chromecast v2 again, and this time it worked. I hadn't tampered with the Chromecast v2 at all. So now it's working, but I have no idea why it wasn't working before....?????
Hi Guys, sorry to butt in here, but you may be able to help me with my new Tab S2 9.7 64G Lolipop 6.0 (I think its 6.0) that I got for my 70yo mum to play movies on her Sony 46" non smart tv with either the Google Chrome Cast or MiraCast. I purchased a few micro USB to HDMI MTH?2.0 adaptors, and non of them show an image on her screen. I don't want to go and buy the Samsung adaptor as its easier to change movies play and pause using VLC media player while sitting on the couch for her. Can any of you please tell me the easiest dongle I can buy to simply play movies wireless to the HDMI dongle in the back of the tv? Happy to go Google Chrome, but which model do I need? Thanks in advance guys!

The problem with HDMI/MHL dongles is that they are difficult to connect. Most of them will work if you have the patience to keep trying until the finally connect. But then, you are forced to leave your tablet within a few feet of the TV. I MUCH prefer a Chromecast dongle that plugs into the TV and uses your wifi to connect. Most TVs also have a USB port that you can use to power the dongle rather than having to plug a separate power adapter into a wall plug. Here is one on eBay that is only $17 whereas a "Google" branded one will cost about $40. You can even get cheaper ones if you are willing to ship from China.
The current software to mirror the tablet on the TV is "Google Home". But be warned, the picture is not "widescreen" or HD.

Absolutely go for Chromecast, the easiest and most reliable way to cast from any Android device to the TV.
Do NOT buy a cheap chromecast copy from Ebay, they do not work properly.
Pretty much everywhere is selling CHROMECAST very cheap at the moment in Black Friday promo deals.
Get it now while you can as the price will go back to normal soon!
What is your location?

Hey Guys,
I've been using a 256GB Exynos Note 8 as my first ever Samsung Smartphone for almost a year now, and I've been really loving the extremely versatile featureset it packs. It has hands down been the most useful Smartphone I've ever had after over half a decade of jailbroken iPhones and just switching to Android on a OnePlus One back in 2014. So much so, I've literally been using it as a Pocket PC for most of my computing needs, relying less and less on my Surface Pro 2.
However, there has been one pet peve that just keeps getting in the way of me enjoying my Note 8 to the fullest; whenever I try to miracast Netflix running on my Note 8 to my Microsoft Wireless Display Adaptor connected to a big screen (be it in my living room, bed room, or a hotel room), I only get audio and subtitles, no video Everything else -- including presentations, games and YouTube -- stream smoothly and very reliably from my Note 8 to whatever big screen I want, way better than even my Surface Pro 2 (1st party hardware). However, I just can't get Netflix to stream over miracast from my Note 8. Oddly enough, it works from my Surface Pro 2 with the latest Netflix app from the Microsoft Store.
Any genius out there have some suggestions on how to get Netflix working over miracast? I don't want them chromecast as they require their own internet connection instead of simply functioning via WiFi direct. Thanks in advance.
Try loading Netflix, then only starting the miracast?
Are you plugging this adapter into a TV at a hotel etc? Or is it your home TV?
The casting is something Samsung needs to fix its quite fiddly. If I'm casting to a TV I use Smart Things.
I think you should be running the app you're trying to cast from first. Then when you click the option it should recognise your MWDA.
I used to use my Surface Tablet to cast Netflix and it was a nuisance, so I gave up and plugged it directly into the TV and used a Bluetooth mouse.

Sorry for the very late feedback, for some reason never saw a notification in the XDA Labs app despite responses to my thread.
I just attempted this but all it does is still show a black screen with audio over Miracast, while the video appears on my Note 8's screen.

I tried it both at a camp/hotel and at home. Doesn't matter which TV I'm plugging it into, it's still the same end result; my Note 8 reliably connects over Miracast to it, but Netflix refuses to display.

BUMP
The problem might be the MWDA. I never used one, I used a 3rd party display port to HDMI cable when connecting my Surface to a TV.
I cast apps from my Note 8 to my TV using Smartthings app. Or if you click the button which says 'button order' for your notification shade, there should be one that says 'smart view' I have successfully cast Netflix on my phone to my TV this way.

The MWDA works perfect and reliably for ANYTHING else, besides Netflix. SmartThings is casting via Chromecast in your Smart TV, that's why it works with Netflix.

That's exactly how I cast from my Note 8's screen to the MWDA, again, it works reliably with everything else but Netflix. The difference is it's using the Miracast protocol in the case of my MWDA, whereas the one to your Smart TV is using the Chromecast protocol (SmartView supports both).
Anyone else have any suggestions on getting Netflix to work over Miracast?

Have not been able to screen mirror to my TV through either my Roku (I have a Roku 3 and Roku stick and same issue on both). I have never had a problem using the wireless screen mirror function with my Roku's before. I also have allshare cast on my Samsung DVD/surround sound system, and it will never connect the wireless screen mirror from my phone either. My phone will say it is connected to the Roku's, but it will sit there on the Roku screen on the TV at about 30% of the bar that comes up when the phone is first loading the screen mirroring to the TV.
Yesterday I almost bought a chromecast dongle yesterday to see if that will work for screen mirroring, but figured I should ask here if anyone else has had an issue wirelessly screen mirroring with their Note 9. TIA any help appreciated!

Thanks for the info. My S8+ and Note 8 both used to cast fine to the Roku and my Samsung blu ray system. I still have my Note 8 and now it doesn't screen mirror anymore either. Thought it was just a Note 9 issue but it also plagues the Note 8 also. Maybe it's and android 8.0 issue?
Do you mean that you got a specific app from the playstore that was successful in screen mirroring? If so, may I ask what app you got that works? TIA.

My wife s8 casts just fine with stock app. Ive read a lot of horror stories with smart share and such all the way back to 5.1 or 6.0. Random issues with each update
Yeah, wireless screen mirroring has always been a bit stuttery. But at least it worked in the past. Now, it doesn't. I have tried my Note 9, Note 8 and my wife's old S8 (now our sons phone). None of them seem to work. Thought it was maybe my router settings or some setting on my phone, but don't think those are the issue. Still might buy the chromecast and see if it works. Although I read the chromecast has it's own issues and bugs. You'd think as tech gets better these thing would work better, but doesn't seem to be the case so far!

So I DL'd the app and it does work to cast misc stuff to the Roku. It doesn't screen mirror though, and I really need a full screen mirror so I can mirror Watch ESPN from my phone to my TV.
Still can't get the Roku and phone to actually screen mirror - it just sits there on the "starting video from..." screen. Dunno WTH the problem is.
I finally got this to work. I went into the Roku settings and on the screen mirror settings I put "prompt" instead of "always allow". When the two devices tried to connect the Roku came up with the "allow device" prompt, I hit "allow" and it connects every time now.
I had also went into Smart View settings on my phone and looked at various settings there. I didn't see anything I thought would help, so I don't think it was any settings on the phone. Dunno for sure. I am just happy to have screen mirroring that is working now!

yea been a while since i tried it
Thats all my s8 does too i try wifi direct and smart screen or whatever
Ima try this guys fix and see if prompt works
Well I thought I had posted this earlier today, but for some reason my post didn't go through. I got screen mirroring to work via the Roku. What I did was go into the Roku settings and changed the Roku from "always" allow the phone to mirror to "prompt" before allowing. So after I changed that Roku setting, I went into Smart View and tapped on the Roku tab in smart view. The Roku then popped up with a message to "allow always", "allow once", or "deny" my phone from pairing to screen mirror. I hit "allow once" and immediately it worked. Tried it about 5 more times, it worked every time. Was able to mirror Watch ESPN and every app I tried.
Hopefully this was the cause of my issues and anyone else having problems can get it to work the way I did.
Screen Mirroring
There's an app called screen mirroring. I have a Note 9 and it works fine on a roku to mirror your screen to the TV.
Dear all,
I'm happy with my Mi 9T Pro - running MIUI 11 Global - for anything but the cast feature.
I have a Samsung TV and when I had a Samsung S9 I was able to seamlessly cast the screen content to the TV.
With Mi 9t Pro anything I tried failed.
Is there a way to accomplish this specific request? Might a custom ROM add the needed feature - protocol - libraries that enable this?
Thanks!

Playstore - Video and TV cast /Samsung TV
Both smartphone and tv must be on the same 2.4 GHz wifi network (not 5GHz). Enable Bluetooth.
Start your TV.
Mi 9T Pro: Settings
> Connection & sharing
> Cast
> Enable Cast
Be patient the first time. Repeat the procedure a few times.

This is correct when you use a WiFi connection for your TV.
When you use an UTP connection for your TV to for example your router it does not matter what kind of WiFi network you are using.
Both (2,4Ghz of 5Ghz) will then work.
Thanks everybody for your answers.
@hewlett2008, thanks but I didn't explain well my request: I would like to mirror phone's screen to TV, so the application you suggest does not accomplish this task.
@actiyo and @Snah001, I made all possible test but did not manage to make it work.
I tried with TV connected via cable and via wireless, and both times activating the cast feature on the phone didn't make anything happen.
In a random attempt I also manually added TV to the phone via wi-fi direct, and TV did ask me to authorize the connection, but even in that case the cast feature did not work.
I find it weird that this feature is listed as one of MIUI 11's improvements and it just does not work with a large selling TV producer like Samsung.
Any help will be appreciated.
Double post.
Weird. I can cast to my KU6400 Samsung.
I think mine is a quite recent model: MU6400, 49"; I purchased it a couple of years ago.
I used to mirror my phone to quickly show some news articles or funny Whatsapp messages to my family, and I miss this feature quite bit.
I'm not a total newbie of technology issues, but this problem is baffling to me.
I guess I will end purchasing a Amazon Firestick or something similar just to use this feature, but would try anything before because the TV is hanging on a wall and any device connected to HDMI would not be nice to see.

After update from miui 10 to miui 11 cast won't work on the Samsung TV from the app like YouTube. Tried everything . No matter what I selected 2,4 ghz or 5 ghz network . With screen mirroring is working , but I find this kind of useless because I don't like how I see the movies in frames . Anyone with some ideas ? I have 2 another phones in my house , both working with the Samsung TV so it's clear is not the tv the problem !

Well, screen mirroring is exactly what I'd like to use.
Could you please tell me what are the exact steps you perform (on both phone and TV) to activate screen mirroring?
Thanks in advance!
Today i updated to OneUI 2.5 and the Smart View function from the notification panel doesn't find my TV anymore. It used to work before. My TV is a 2011 Series 6 one. The 32D6100 model connected via wire to internet. I tried the Smart Things app and it found it as a directly connected device but sharing things from the app is cumbersome compared to using the Smart View toggle. Can someone on OneUI 2.5 please see if it works for them?
Worked for me. Sometimes I need to restart either tv or phone or both of them to connect again. Other then that it works great. I use wireless dex if cast doesnt work.

Weird. I restarted tv and phone and nothing. Actually my phone does find something but every time it's a different random device. One time it was a LG TV, one time a Sony, then some random projector. And if i try to connect it disappears from list. I'm connected to wifi and there's only one TV that's also connected to the same internet in my home. TV doesn't support miracast as it's quite old though so i can't use wireless dex or screen mirroring on it. Smart view could only show some content from the default Samsung gallery, music and video apps. Will buy an Anycast M9 Plus dongle and hope everything works with it.
