Here's the equipment I'm working with:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM T230NU on 4.4.2 with KingRoot (for now).
Sony XBR850C with built in Android.
AppleTV 4th Gen.
I have tried several solutions and nothing works. The TV has Chromecast built in (called GoogleCast) but it connects very briefly and then I get a message on the tablet stating "Casting to the XBR850C has ended"
I've used several different apps including ScreenStream, MirrorBeta, MiraCast Shortcut, etc... and tweaks like MirrorcastEnabler.
I am looking for a system-wide mirroring solution, I want the TV screen to reflect whatever's on my tablet screen whether I'm in an app like TBS or HBOGo or on the Setting screen.
Honestly, I'm floored that it's been this complicated and challenging. I have an iPhone and this feature is built in and works flawlessly.

I got a Galaxy Tab 4 for Christmas, bought from Amazon for $119.00. Chromecast and OK Google both seem to not be working and I've done some extensive trouble shooting.
With Chromecast, I have a Sony XBR850C with built in AndroidTV and the tablet makes a connection and then immediately ends when casting. I've tried it with the Chrome browser on my Mac and it works flawlessly so I'm ruling out the TV as the cause.
With OK Google it doesn't allow me to train the voice model, it just sits at "Listening" when it asks me day OK Google 3 times. If I chose "finish Later" it takes me to the Google Now screen, I type the mic button and it hears me fine. I've tried uninstalling the updates and everything else I found online that is supposed to help but nothing did.
That's two of Google's core services that won't work on the phone. Everything else seems to be copacetic but I need those two things to work. I got the tablet to serve as a "living room device." It's basically a remote for my entertainment system and home automation devices but I'm a cord cutter so sometimes I'll need to cast from it.
Any thoughts on why these two features won't work? Do they share a common function that could be defective? Maybe the hardware is bad? Orr maybe there's something I'm not doing right but I don't think that's it.
My tab 4's OK google doesn't work also. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. My chromecast is fine. If you are using a automation app and it is set to turn off WiFi once screen is off (for battery savings), that could end the connection. Sorry if I'm not of much help, I am still a great noob
Hello,
My grandpa would like to watch YouTube on his living room TV, and you never say no to your grandpa
So, I recalled Galaxy S3 has Miracast support for mirroring and I ordered a Miracast dongle. However, It seems he don't have Galaxy S3, but a Galaxy S3 Neo+. I couldn't find any option to turn on Miracast on the stock phone (even though it has WiFi Direct) and when download an app from the market, it indeed opens Miracast/mirroring settings windows I could not access from the Settings, but scanning does not seems to work at all.
Anyone had managed to get Miracast working on S3 Neo? I prefer not to root and install a new ROM if possible.
Thanks!
Tried multiple times with chrome cast(3 day old device, 128gb version)
connects all the time while mirroring
stays so for a couple of minutes while scrolling through the page gets hung...and the Chromecast loses connectivity completely from the network...then I have to restart the router to get things back online..
Happened every time I connected my one plus 5 .
No issues with galaxy A5 Samsung...and obviously Nexus 5x works like a charm using the same router...
one plus works well with casting YouTube and other apps..
issue is only with mirroring. ..
in Google home all while hitting cast (for mirroring ) it says
"Screen casting is not optimized for this device. Your experience may vary"
Is there a work around?
why is this beast of a phone (spec wise...and so far usage wise as well) not optimized for Chromecast?
It will be awesome if someone can mod Samsung Note 9 to display Dex UI wirelessly (i.e. using wifi mirroring technology).
Personally, I'm against it because the lag will just ruin the experience... But, well, experiencing it myself can change my opinion
Um OK.

I have the Microsoft wireless adapter (Miracast) that I use with my Surface Pro 3. I also occasionally use it with the Note 8, mostly for watching videos. The experience has been great and the lags are infrequent. Certainly not a dealbreaker.
I think it will indeed be cool if Dex can be done via Miracast. I use couple of Dex apps (Dex Max and Desktop Hub) and it will be interesting to find out what their developers think. Maybe it will be possible to add a toggle to the apps that trigger Dex mode instead of screen mirroring when the phone is connected via Miracast...
Great idea
I guess Samsung heard you. Read this article ->

Awesome! After 2 years, my post now became a reality with the recently announced Galaxy Note 20 ultra.
Wondering now if this feature can be brought to our old note 9/note 10 via software update or does this require a specific hardware?
What you think guys?
Would be very happy if it's a software thing and they give it to us with the OneUI 2.5 update (if we even get that first xd).

GOOD NEWS !!!
Well I don't how and when it came to our Galaxy Note 9 but the Wireless DEX function is indeed there !
I was just testing the mirroring function with my Galaxy Note 9 and a Amazon FireStick (should work the same with a Google Chromecast) connected onto a 24" monitor via Smart View, then by chance at the end I just pressed the Dex icon and the Dex desktop display just appeared on the monitor !!!
I still have a message telling the "connected TV" is not fully optimized for wireless Dex but it's still working.
Then, There is a second message saying we can use the Note 9 as a touchpad and it works !
I don't have a USB-C hub with me but I guess we could use a mouse and a keyboard as well...

Don't remember when it came either, but I've been using it flawlessly on my roku tv for streaming from sites. Still get hiccups with it occasionally after a period of time though. Reconnecting usually seems to fix them it seems.
I have looked at a number of different web pages on this issue. On both of my Samsung phones which I use as tablets I am having a problem. The Fire tv stick is able to be recognized on the screen mirroring section of the setting on the Samsung. However, when I tap the screen to mirror the device with the fire tv stick, it just keeps on trying to connect. It works fine with my mirroring with my amazon tablet but not with the android phones.
Any suggestions are more than welcome, thanks
