Anybody have a good mirroring suggestion? Got used to SideSync on my S5 and haven't found anything that works for the Pure. Don't even really care if i can control the phone through the PC just mirroring would be good enough. Tried everything from Teamviewer to AirDroid, nothing works. Thanks
Just to be clear you want to see and maybe control the phone from the computer. I use Vysor to do this. It is a Chrome extension and works nice for the couple of devices that I needed.
Thanks but was looking for a wireless route. I wonder if it's just a permissions thing and can somehow get Teamviewer to work? hmmm can't believe this is a hard thing to do now.
Vysor works with adb wifi.
BBQScreen I think it's faster...
I use Reflector 2 to cast my Android screen to my PC. For those of us that have to work with iOS, it works with that too.
does this work with smart TVs too?
I have a Sony Smart TV (non android - 2014 model). I am able to cast the screen of my Samsung Galaxy S5 to my Sony TV either directly through Screen Mirroring (natively supported by S5) or through my home network (to which my S5 as well as my Smart TV connect). This is again done natively without adding any 3rd party software or hardware.
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.

Mine's an SM-T815. Anyone manage to Chromecast from one of these?
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.
edit: I just had a chat with Samsung support and they are blaming Quick Connect not working on Google. Always the other guys fault.

Mine can see my Samsung Smart TV and Onkyo A/V receiver (both wifi-only devices), but not the Chromecast :0(

The only thing I can think of is that maybe your Chromecast device is an older model?

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?

Interesting idea, but I think that this is not possible.

Hi guys, can you please link products do connect Mi 8 on a external Display?
If you have one, can you put links here?
I'm trying to find a way to use on my TV
The are usb type-c to hdmi converters.
Anyway, the maximum speed of the USB on this mobiles is really slow (30MB/s). It's theoretically able to provide a good video but in practice it's not.
mi 8 don't support mhl over usb c so it's not possible
I'm using mibox 3. it works good.
I am also interested in this subject. I do have a multimedia car stereo with HDMI in and I would like to mirror the MI8 to it (to watch movies or the navigation app).
I did understand that it doesn't support MHL or whatever BUT I was wondering if there is any other options (Displaylink as example) that is compatible to use in car (so that is not needed to be powered or that can be powered thru usb and that doesn't need WiFi).
Any help/idea?

It works with mi8? what laptop model is?
i use apowermirror installed on both PC and Cellphone (make search over google, it's easy), connect PC to the phone through USB or WIFI and have phone display on PC and viceversa, can make plenty of settings and quality... this way then i have the PC connected on my main high quality TV and there we go, no latency high quality phone on TV and i use it for gaming for example connect bluetooth gamepad to the phone, launch high quality android games such as life is strange and played with high experience on TV, this as usefull when i was sick and ill at home and had no good pc and no consoles.... was a very good experience.... the only downside is that apowermirror can transmit in "FULL SCREEN" only with paid VIP pro version.

Hello,
I just bought for my father a Mi Pad 4 Plus .
Unfortunetly it was in chinese/english (coming from gearbest) but my old father managed to install a new rom good
But at last, it's not easy to connect/cast to a TV.
He tried with USB/C => HDMI adaptator without sucess.
I've read that chromecast doesn't work.
It seems that maybe with a dongle with anycast could work or mirroring with a mirroring app on the TV may be ?
He got two TV, one smart and the other not (even if the tv can connect to internet)
Do you have any solution wich work at 100% ?
Thanks !

Reviews say Mi Pad 4 Plus doesn't support video out via usb-C, but casting to a Chromecast should work, I'll test on mine in a few hours when I'm home.
I believe I'm on unofficial global ROM (xiaomi.eu)
I can confirm my Mi Pad 4 Plus can connect to my Chromecast, although it's not optimised, displays a lower resolution on the TV than the one on the device. Casting Youtube/Twitch/VLC/etc works great at good quality
...
wrong post...
Please try this:
Setting - permission - Google Play Services - (look for) Record audio - (choose) Accept.
Now, restart the Mi Pad 4 Plus
Go to app, Home. You can use it to mirror your screen to Chromecast 2 now.
Cheers~
