ANY Android Phone to ANY TV - Screen Mirror - For Non Techies

[@brothermoon]

Much better explained and detailed than MANY of the vids and (claimed) tutorials on KZbin - some by official Tech sites/accts. Thanks!

[@RogerDiotte]

Thanks I downloaded a version of screen mirror on the Play Store for my Pixel 8 to cast to my Samsung TV and it worked great. The app did cost me 18 dollars for lifetime to use ad-free which is worth it.

[@rogergadgetguy]

Hi Roger Thanks for the info. What is the app you use? I'd like to try it. and likely many others who see this will too. There are so many apps the ones I tried were very slow and unreliable.

[@RogerDiotte]

@@rogergadgetguy So again it just deleted my reply so I guess I can only say the name of the app which is Screen Mirroring TV & Miracast.

[@rogergadgetguy]

While I'm sure this video will help many people unfortunately neither my phone nor my TV have any screen mirroring capabilities, I can only screen cast (which is different) YT videos using DLNA And a chromecast dongle is too expensive so i would rather just get a USBC to HDMI cable Thank you for the detailed video

[@rogergadgetguy]

Thanks for your comment I thought long and hard about whether to include DLNA in this video because it's really great if it works in your application with your devices. I use it every day because neither a Chromecast video dongle nor Airplay (or Sonos for that matter) will play music above 48Khz sample rates. Unfortunately the implementation from manufacturers is patchy. Some don't work properly due to bugs, Some use the DLNA protocols for their branded systems but intentionally make sure competitors products don't inter-operate. In the end I realized that including DLNA in this video would confuse more than it would inform and left it for another day. Thanks again for the comment I really appreciate the feedback and ideas for future videos.

[@KingdomRepublic]

@rogergadgetguy no thank you kind sir Of course all this hassle can easily be solved if they included Bluetooth capabilities with smart TVs and then casting using Bluetooth but no everything has to be complicated

Hi Anil It would be nice to be able to connect with Bluetooth. Although you can send video over Bluetooth, it has to be either very low resolution or very low frame rate due to bluetooth bandwidth limitations. Video over bluetooth is really only suitable for security cameras and baby monitors.

How about LG TVs I haven't been able to get mine to hook up to anything and it's a brand new TV and I've got three cell phones

[@admiralpercy]

I'm trying to mirror my phone screen for streaming purposes. when I do the wireless casting method, the quality really suffers, and the stream is choppy. on my Google pixel 8, I can just use a USB to HDMI adapter to get a high quality mirror. problem is, the phone that I want to mirror doesn't appear to do that? like I plug in the same adapter to the same capture card, and it just does nothing. is there any way for me to get it to accept wired mirroring?

[@rogergadgetguy]

Many phone manufacturers reserve that feature for their expensive flagship models. If HDMI through USB is not supported, wireless is your only option.

[@mvisnjic]

Do you know any solution for make a custom receiver (not using existing app) for android/ios mirroring to a tv?

[@rogergadgetguy]

Hi Matej, There are many receivers on the market that can provide for wireless screen mirror. These were designed for PCs and they all have different limitationswhen used with phones. Some require a matching transmitter, some need an HDMI or other adapter to be added to your phone, and some lack content protection and don't work with all video content. Because of the bewildering array of limitations and exceptions I have chosen not to test any of these devices. If you decide to try, make sure it works for your specific phone version, and supports all the things you want to do. And make sure you understand if you need any kind of adapter for your phone.

No ridiculous here, The whole point is using what we've got. It saves money and the planet; win win. You can attach a Google TV Device or FireTV stick to a computer monitor like a Flatron even if it's old and has no HDMI. Then you can screen mirror or watch Netflix etc. You'll need an HDMI to VGA adapter like this, amzn.to/4erV5kF . If you are already using the VGA input for your computer you can use a switch like this. amzn.to/3O5El89

[@rogergadgetguy]

Hi Lucy, I just noticed that you also posted a different question about your remote control This answer may address both your questions. Your TV and phone support different incompatible forms of screen casting. To use your phone with your TV you will need to add a Chromecast enabled device this means either the confusingly named "Chromecast with Google TV" or an Android TV box from another manufacturer . You may also prefer the user interface and the remote control of these devices to the Web OS installed on your TV.

[@peten409]

I gave up trying to cast to my LG TV . Bought a Chromecast to do that with it's kind of clunky I think if you had it working right it would be better

[@rogergadgetguy]

Standard Android supports casting to chromecast from the swipe down actions and settings (Flashlight, Bluetooth, screen record etc.) Smasung Phones and some others replace that feature with casting to their own TV's which may or may not work with LG TV's and definitely will not work with chromecast. If using the Google Home app is too clunky then go to Settings> Connected Devices>Connection Preferences> Cast. You should then see your Chromecast. With all types of screen mirroring the phone and the TV need to be on the Same WiFI. Range extenders, Powerline adapters, switches and other intermediary devices to aid connection back to a distant router often prevent device discovery by your phone. The router settings themselves can also get in the way.

[@HenrySmith-o7b]

What no one explains how to mirror like Bluetooth. Had LG v30 that could connect any TV without wifi. Now I have samsung a14 no screen mirroring or can't use usb c to hdmi. Is their program that does screen mirroring like Bluetooth or just get phone that has that capability.

[@rogergadgetguy]

The best way to screen mirror without WiFi is to use HDMI through USB c and as you say not all phones have that capability. You can't use bluetooth for video it doesn't have sufficient bandwidth, and I have never heard of a TV that has a Bluetooth receiver (Most modern TV's will transmit bluetooth audio but not receive.) It's theoretically possible to use WiFi direct so you wouldn't need an existing WiFi system but I've never done it.

[@rogergadgetguy]

Hi Since you were able to cast to another Roku TV it appears that your phone does support miacast which is the technology Roku uses, but not all Android phones support.. Try going to the settings and and under "screen mirroring mode" select "Always Allow" If screen mirror still doesn't work you may have incompatible versions on your phone and TV miracast is quite a minefield of different implementations. You may still be able to play personal videos photos and songs stored on your phone using the "Play on Roku" feature of the Roku Mobile app.

[@Loosybaboosy]

Neither my or my husband's phones have 'screen cast' in our pull down menu. Boooo

[@rogergadgetguy]

Hi Lucinda Not having screen cast in the pull down menu is not a big deal if you have a TV with Google TV or chromecast or you have a Google TV or chromecast device attached. Just look for the chromecast symbol in the app you want to use, and select the TV you want do cast the content to. This is better than screen mirroring because the app formats the content for the TV screen better, you don't get texts or alerts popping up on the big screen and the phone gets freed up for other things. You can be sending and receiving texts and your casted content keeps playing. If your TV doesn't have Google TV or Chromecast You can add it with a device like this for just $15! www.walmart.com/ip/Google-TV-Full-HD-Streaming-Device-NEW-2023/2262757145?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=1630&adid=222222222772262757145_117755028669_12420145346&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-306310554666&wl5=9032666&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=2262757145&wl13=1630&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&&adid=222222222372262757145_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-306310554666&wl5=9032666&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=2262757145&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5cOwBhCiARIsAJ5njuYwm6G-_W2_eMF3ENNwgcLMUfW8uWFMgSN-Tnzv_k_Sftn7P1kHlo8aAutxEALw_wcB I've tested this streaming stick it works great!

[@AndreaCombs777]

Is there any way to do this without having WIFI? Or without using MOBILE HOT SPOT?

[@rogergadgetguy]

There is a thing called wifi Direct that doesn't need a WiFi router for a connection. Your phone probably has it so check to see if it's available on your TV. Miracast works over WiFi Direct, Chromecast doesn't. My personal experience with Miracast over WiFi direct hasn;t been good. It dropped the connection repeatedly for no obvious reason, and making the connection in the first place was pretty hit and miss. Your TV may work better.......or not.

Unfortunately not every version of Samsung TV works with every version of Samsung phone . If both your TV and phone are logged in to the same WiFi network and you can't get them to connect then your only option may be add a chromecast device. On a Samsung phone you would need to use the google home app to screen mirror to Chromecast.

[@rogergadgetguy]

Apple have done a great job in convincing all the TV manufacturers to include their Airplay code, they set the standard for both ends so it works great. Android can work just as easily with a clean version of android (for example Motorola or Google) and a TV running Google software (for example Sony or Vizio) Unfortunately some companies like Samsung want to add their own proprietary branded modifications to Android, and they design their phones and TV's to work together with their own tech, which causes problems with other brands. You CAN get a Samsung phone to work with a Sony TV but it is not obvious how, and not as simple as it should be.

[@rogergadgetguy]

Hi, Miracast on a TV will not work with most phones. It won't work with iPhones and it mostly doesn't work with Android. The only situation I'd really recommend using Miracast is Samsung Phones on a Samsung TV where Samsung have made some updates to both the TV and phones to get it to work right. The only really dependable way to screen mirror with a non Samsung Android phone is to use Chromecast. Fortunately you can do this on any TV by plugging an external device into a spare HDMI port. There is a Google TV stick, the Onn Streaming Stick which supports chromecast that costs only $15 I've tested it and it works great for screen mirror with Android. Any Android phone that is less than 6 years old phone will mirror to it using the Google Home App. Here's a link to the streaming stick; www.walmart.com/ip/onn-Google-TV-Full-HD-Streaming-Device-New-2023/2262757145?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=1755&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=222222222772262757145_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=aud-2225087347667:pla-394283752452&wl5=1014129&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=2262757145&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwyo60BhBiEiwAHmVLJZAI4QDtPwv6blxhqAdOpJimpKI5WtO-I0KpGqt3Ic-7EXvAnN6ObRoCdn0QAvD_BwE

Hi ,I have never seen a TV that is capaple of Video input through a USB port. USB on most TV's is only for software updates and to power external devices. You could try a USBC to HDMI adapter, it should work. I have not tried this on a Samsung phone but I would expect samsung to support this capability.. Alternatively you could use a chromecast or android TV stick Full HD versions of these can be purchased for less than $30.

Hi Sam if the only connection to your TV is via a broadcast receiving antenna then you will not be able to screen mirror wirelessly. Your TV needs to be connected to WiFi in some way, either directly or with a video streamer like a Chromecast.

Samsung flip 5 just stuck on connecting to lg cx

[@rogergadgetguy]

Samsung and LG both use miracast technology but they are not in lock step as to which version they are using or what enhancements they have added which may lead to compatibility problems. Try updating the software to the latest version on both the TV and the Phone. If that doesn't work you could add an inexpensive Google/Android TV video streamer just for screen sharing, you could then do screen mirror through the Google Home app. This streaming box is available in the US for under $20 www.walmart.com/ip/onn-Google-TV-4K-Streaming-Box-New-2023-4K-UHD-Resolution/2835618394?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=1755&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=222222222772835618394_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=aud-2225087347667:pla-394283752452&wl5=1014129&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=2835618394&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwuG1BhCnARIsAFWBUC2tiq9RUn-XpW9h-MYyFy8s3Q0ypdjrEIy145W6hc4rUOBXGE64GEoaAutEEALw_wcB

How we do it

[@Bond-uh6yj]

I don't have $75 per month for Wifi so basically im screwed i only have bt. Cost of living has locked me out of the basic technology that many take for granted.

[@rogergadgetguy]

Hi The $75 per month is for the internet connection I've often seen internet providers trying to up to sell a faster level of service than we really need. The absolutely slowest level of service just basic internet connection is liusually all that's needed and should be significantly cheaper. if your current provider won't do it, check your area for the lowest cost provider. WiFi itself is free to use in your home.

Not any TV just smart tvs...don't lie

[@rogergadgetguy]

You do not need a smart TV. This video covers Any TV with HDMI If you want to be precise I could have said any TV made in the last 20 years. If your TV predates HDMI there are still ways but they are a bit Klugy and I really didn't think there would be enough interest to put them in the video. If your TV has HDMI then just add a chromecast (or a Fire TV) I show that in the video. You only need the cheaperst versions since no TV that is not a Smart TV will need more than 1080p resolution. If chromecast or Fire TV is too costly then I found this stick for $15 that works just as well. www.walmart.com/ip/Google-TV-Full-HD-Streaming-Device-NEW-2023/2262757145?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=2925&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=222222222772262757145_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-394283752452&wl5=1014129&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=2262757145&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw3NyxBhBmEiwAyofDYeAJ-RXH6ghMm94C32e23OZ_3gB1ELUVxnKAHnwE6ckbhhhZxbq0JhoC3-wQAvD_BwE

Anyone know how to screen mirror an iPhone to a non smart Samsung tv without buying anything

[@rogergadgetguy]

Hi Adam, You have to be able to establish some kind of communication between the Phone and TV. The iPhone has a lightning connector, bluetooth WiFi and cellular phone connections. A non smart TV has HDMI and maybe component or composite video. There is no overlap so you will need something to translate between the two. The answer to whether it is possible without buying anything depends on what you already have (a Roku streamer or apple TV for example). If you do not already have any means to make the connection then the cheapest way to mirror an iPhone to a non smart TV is to use a lightning to HDMI adapter and connect to an HDMI input on the TV.. An adapter like this one is $10 www.amazon.com/Certified-Lightning-Digital-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0CPJJ1DZ5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=ybjiQ&content-id=amzn1.sym.d0ebfbb2-6761-494f-8e2f-95743b37c35c%3Aamzn1.symc.50e00d6c-ec8b-42ef-bb15-298531ab4497&pf_rd_p=d0ebfbb2-6761-494f-8e2f-95743b37c35c&pf_rd_r=DWZRRN6BQG67QQV5XAJ4&pd_rd_wg=ZSAZ0&pd_rd_r=b449f1b2-71f6-4344-8211-e3ef2502a94a&linkCode=ll1&tag=rogergadgetgu-20&linkId=b1e995595127a8cf3cd65a460a604905&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

When the Marketing Maestro Geoffry Frost ("Hello Moto") passed away in 2004 the air went out of the company his vision (The media monster, he called it) ended up being done by Apple first and became the iPhone.

My stupid Home app doesn't show the same devices screen or the screen after that. It couldn't find my chromecast. The HOME app is useless. I uninstalled it again

[@rogergadgetguy]

I do see a lot of frustration with the home app in online reviews so you are not alone. For most Phone/TV use cases it is actually easier to chromecast directly from whatever app you are using instead of setting up screen mirroring. Chromecasting from the app also has the advantage of better formatting of the content for the TV screen, and not showing alerts and texts on top of whatever you are playing on the TV. If you tap the chromecast symbol in an app and you still don't see your device, the usual reason is the specific network enviroment. If you have more than one router or range extender(s) installed, then device discovery may not work at all or be very patchy. I used to get this a lot untill I replaced my various band aids to get WiFi into every corner of my home with a WiFi mesh system. The mesh system easily covers the whole house and looks like a single subnet to all the devices.
