Mirror Samsung Smart TV to S8 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

I can't remember how to mirror my TV to my phone. I know I have done this before I factory reset my phone. I have a 2016 Samsung Smart TV and it shows up in Smart View but only allows me to view my phone on the TV not mt TV on my phone. Anyone else been able to make this work or am I really making this up? Thanks!

Maybe this can help you

Figured it out. It is in the Samsung Connect app. Click my devices. Then click on your smart tv. Then click the ellipses (menu dots) in top right corner. Then scroll down to View TV on Phone.

Hi can someone please help me find this?
Samsung made so many changes I can't keep up and I can no longer find this super cool feature. I could watch TV on my phone and now I can't find it for months.

Need to mirror TV back on my phone. Option was there but now missing.
Smartview is a redundant mirroring app for inages and videos..
Update:
I found it. As of Feb 2019 it's hidden deep within the new Smart Things app. (Not the classic). Open app - tap on devices in the middle of the lower bottom row - find your TV , if not there then you must add , TV and phone must be on same wifi of course - tap on TV - hit top right 3 dot button - choose show TVon Phone! Voila!

Mirror the screen out while using Gear VR

Hi,
I am looking for a way to mirror the screen to an external display while using Gear VR.
I tried screen mirroring (screencast) however when I get to "my videos" the screen blacks out.
any methods ?
I'd appreciate any comments.
Not possible ?
I tried to cast my screen to my Chromecast before inserting my phone into my VR. It will show images in 10 - 15 second intervals. These images are also in a split screen view so not too effective for others to see what you see. Not sure if its just too much for the CPU or what.
Afaik it is currently possible with "MirrorOp".
Check this thread out from the oculus forums: Gear VR S6 Screen Mirroring / Chromecast problem
(especially this posting for setup details)
Best way I found is to use samsung's Sidesync app. It takes a couple trys but it works! You just use the wifi sync and you can mirror the screen over to your pc

Google Cast option in quick drawer

Hello guys,
i've been a sony user for years now and recently decided to join the Huawei community. So some days back i got myself a pretty P10 (L29).
I noticed that in the quick drawer menu (pull down from homescreen), there is no cast button. I usually do that to connect wireless to my soundbar which supports google cast.
Now, i know the phone supports cast and even audio casting, coz it works through an app called screen mirroring in app store. The app does exactly the same thing as the cast option in the quick drawer.
Now, is there a way to get the cast button in the quick menu?
Cheers
Would like to know as well

Found it though I don't believe it supports Chrome Cast.
I have 2 Chrome keys in the house and it can't see them.
Actually the mirrorshare feature on huawei supports miracast technology which is different from google cast.
I know the phone supports google cast, only the quick option is missing in the app drawer..Maybe in EMUI 8 it will be present

Download the Google Home app for chromecast in the Playstore.

Get image on phone to display on TV

Hello
Image is on a book, so I want to see that on phone (maybe via camera?), and that should display on the connected TV. Is this possible? Or maybe any app? I have samsung note 8.
thanks
Your question is somewhat confusing, please reformulate it
OK.
So I have some text and images in a book. I want these to be cast or displayed on big screen TV using my phone. How can I do this? I donot want to take a pic of these texts/images, as they are too many.
thanks

You need to either connect the phone with a wire (USB - C to HDMI) or if you have like a Roku box or Google fire stick then you can use SMART VIEW or a mirroring app.. Swipe down at the top and you should find SMART VIEW in there somewhere..

That is to connect phone to TV, which I can do. I am asking about how to show the pics/text from the book onto the phone and then to tv?
thanks

Phones camera to record and send to the TV at the same time.. Just turn the camera on while it's connected to the TV and it should show whatever is on the screen.
Can't you just get a pdf of the book and then mirror it to the tv as suggested?

No Miracast option

I moved to P20 Pro from Note 8 and can't figure out how to use Miracast to display my pictures and video on any of my smart TVs. On note 8 it was just an icon appeared within the gallery app and then you picked which TV you wanted to show it on.
I feel like this option was on my phone but since an update has gone or been turned off but can't figure it out.

Settings - Device connection - MirrorShare
Also on pull down menu, select edit, and drag MirrorShare to active, then you just have to pull down and press that on and on
Thanks for the reply. When I use mirror share it doesn't tend to find the TV. Also if I am only looking to cast 1 or 2 pictures just quickly this option takes a lot longer than what I could do on the Note 8.

Question Tabs S8 Ultra - TV Remote

Could someone maybe assist. I received the latest update and everything is working fine. When pulling down from the top on the quick toggles I discovered a quick toggle that says TV Remote. Anyone one else noticed it? When opening it it says searching for devices and just stays searching. Has anyone gotten it to work? I searched in settings for the tv remote, but can't find anything
You have a Samsung TV?
I have 2 Samsung smart tv's
I have figured it out. It's for Android tv's. I have 2 of them and you pair the tablet with the tv and control certain features of the tv

Or use smart thing app. I use that app to use my Samsung phone as a remote for my Samsung TV with tizen OS.
