Pixel 3 screen mirroring without chromecast12/13/2023 ![]() Check proximity of TV to casting device (phone, tablet, or computer), and Wi-Fi router.Check that the casting device is updated.Note: we recommend connecting it to a home Wi-Fi network to get the best performance of the device. Make sure your phone and Chromecast are connected to the same stable Wi-Fi network.To confirm, is your Chromecast with Google TV (HD) already set up? If yes, and you're having an issue watching videos when casting from the Pixel Pro 7, please try the steps below and let me know how it goes: I can go on, but I think it's time to let someone trying to help me get in a word edge wise. That's why we use smart view, the phone, and not direct stream from the televison. Next morning I check the usage and we've gone from 1.4 yesterday, to 5.9 today. My wife leaves her phone on after printing a picture off her phone, and the goats go nuts. Seems odd that's the case, if you have to have your television connected to the wifi.Īndroid devices eat data when connected to wifi like goats eat grass. The people at verizon told us that chromecast doesn't use WIFI data, but uses Mobile data when streaming, just like smart view. We can move the prime video app to the television, but, we don't want to eat up our data. So, she got the Pixel 7 for its great camera. ![]() NOW, it appears, Samsung has decided that's too easy, someone isn't getting paid, and they have discontinued using smart view. You use mobile data only, even though smart view needs your WIFI as a crutch to work, you don't use any wifi data. Just make sure the phone and the television are blueteethed, open your streaming platform, choose a show, hit Smart View, and make sure mirror screen is selected, and off you go. We've used Smart View on our Samsung phones for years. Mobile Data on our phones actually appears to be unlimited. So we try not to use WIFI unless we absolutely have to. The reason we use my wife's phone and steer clear of using the television directly is because Viasat has that limited unlimited data set up that you get so much data based on what you want to pay for, and when you eat all of it up, you are moved to the back of the line and your platform works slower. Says it is, but the television begs to differ. Then tech coach tried something new and now we are back to no broadcasting at all. I could hear the music, but no picture, just a black screen. The pause, play and go forward 10 or go back 10 line was visible, but no Jack. The problem is that you could hear them, but you couldn't see the show. I opened Prime Video and there was Jack Ryan now streaming. Her home screen with our christmas picture was there on the tv screen in all it's glory. Yes, Location is not only on, it has been given permission to do everything except live with us and take over the world.Īgain, the television sees the device and for the purposes of the installation to the phone, is currently set to HDMI 3 portĪs I said, the device is plugged in for power and the LED is bright whiteĪt one point during the evening while on with Tech Coach, we did actually get one of the created locations Living room 2, to cast the phone screen to the television. Yes, the television and phone are connected to the same internet WIFI device Doesn't tell us it can't find the device, it just panics and runs back to the previous screen. ![]() The phone can't find the device so it gives up. About 10 seconds or so later, it gives up and returns to the What are you looking for screen. Now it tells us that it is searching for device, and all these Picasso like shapes dance around on the screen. Trust me, 45 seconds has long since come and gone. It's been plugged in since we took it out of the box and plugged it in to the wall. ![]() Next screen says to plug it in and wait 45 seconds for it to warm up. The other glitch point is when we are asked "What device are you looking for?" Chromecast /Google TV is one of the choices. We have never seen a screen at any time from unboxing it to right now, that asks for her google account. The glitch point appears to be in two places. We have gone through the instructions and steps backwards and forwards and sideways, even up and down and we can't get her phone to work correctly with the device. My wife's Google Pixel 7 Pro, can't find it. I plugged it into my smart television, a samsung 8. If I chose the wrong generation, so be it. I purchased a chromecast HD, that's all it says on the box.
