U saved me alot was really wondering why my phone couldn't connect anymore

[@michaelcoyle4283]

Thanks heaps, after work of an evening here in Australia 🇦🇺 I've spent hours late at night how to try & get around Samsung no longer allowing Smartview to be available, as I enjoy the simplicity of just screenmirror my phone direct to my Sony Bravia Android TV to listen to whatever I have pumping through Soundcloud Mixes from my Samsung S51 without the need of a restricted messy lead from phone into A/V unit, so thankyou, plus now I'll be able to also view any sport from around the world from my phone to TV without the price of any payTV ESPN subscription costs, so thanks a ton. 😉

Another workaround for me I found. Go into your TV settings and reconnect the WiFi on the TV. For me, after I do that, the TV shows up to select in SmartView. I have a Samsung smart TV & the Samsung S20+

Strangely even though I did not update to 11 I can no longer use smart view as I could in the past. I refuse to update so there is no solution for me. Lesson to learn, never trust companies that have access to the product you already paid them for. That would call for a heavy lawsuit (removing a paid function) but I don't have time to waste to those crooks.

When Im trying to use Samsung smartview on my Tab S5e to my LG OLED it works great and conect easily, but I can see any apps, only my wallpaper from my Tab S5e and if I connect a mouse to my Tb S5e I get an mousearrow on my LG OLED and can move it around there, but since I can see any apps or any mirroring.. its useless.. there is a small circle on the LG OLED i have smartview to, but when clicking that with the mousearrow I can search for apps, but nothing pops up even if i search for apps I got on my Tab S5e where Im obviously smart view'ing from. very weird.. its the same is I smart view to my projector from my Tab S5e.. also just get my wallpaper from my Tab s5e but no apps present.

[@hollowmancba6924]

Nice video, but it does not fix the screen mirroring imposibility in Samsung A12 with android 11 or 12, he says that towards the end by the way. Google Home only allows to send pictures or videos but not cast the screen of your cell phone to the TV. It even fails with Samsung TVs. Xiami with Android 11 works perfect, as does Galaxy A10 with Android 11 too. It maybe is something with hardware?

[@sivakumarb9749]

I don't understand why all of you are asking the viewers to connect both the devices to the same Wifi network? In fact, Casting a mobile screen to a smart TV does not require any internet connection at all. First you people should understand that. It is a technology called Wifi-Direct, which uses the Wifi of your device to communicate with the other Wifi device. It is a device to device communication, which is certainly faster than Bluetooth. In fact, you can call Wifi Direct as a scaled-up version of Bluetooth, in which Wifi is isued instead of Bluetooth to transfer files. Same way, the contents stored in your Mobile device can be viewed on the larger screen using this Wifi Direct technology and that is Casting. If you have a Samsung Mobile and a Samsung Smart TV, just tap on the Smart View available in the Notification area of your Mobile device and your smart TV's Wifi Direct will display the message for permission. Just proceed with okay with the TV Remote. That's all. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU DO NOT NEED ANY INTERNET CONNECTION FOR DOING THE ABOVE. NOT AT ALL. I AM USING THE SAME METHOD TO CAST THE SCREEN OF MY SAMSUNG GALAXY A70 TO MY SAMSUNG UA5200 S32 Inch mart TV to watch movies, videos and other pictures stored in my Mobile phone. If you enable the Rotate screen in the Mobile phone, you can view it in full Landscape mode in the TV also wirelessly, WITHOUT USING ANY internet connection at all.

So I refused to update that phone, I then rang Samsung the lady at Samsung said to me they won't take away the app even though the update said it would, I was stoneface lied to they took away my smart view screen mirror app Last Sunday night. I had used it earlier that day. So Samsung is discriminating between the rich & the poor with the more expensive S series & A series phones losing support & the apps more important to you a lot sooner with the A series phones. The things they never tell you. Planned obsoletion Shame on you Samsung I'm a pensioner a great phone when new discusting discrimination between S & A series phones losing apps that cam with the phone.
