I can cast my brax2 to my TV but I can’t cast my brax 3.
Seems odd that one would work but the other won’t.
Am I missing something?

Hi, can you share more info on when you’re getting stuck.
I saw that miracast has an account that you login via google. Is this where it fails?
Or maybe it fails later on?

@plamen On the TV I navigate to display, then miracast. The TV then becomes discoverable.
Then I go to the phone to connected devices.
On the brax2 it sees the TV and connects.
On the brax3 it see the TV but never connects. Then the TV times out and the phone says could not connect.
The TV is miracast capable so is the phone. So, not app or login was necessary for the brax2.
Thank you for the additional details.
I’m able to reproduce the issue. I’ve created an issue on iode’s issue tracking board so their devs can investigate further: Screen mirroring via Miracast not working (#46) · Issues · ota / issue-tracker · GitLab
You can follow the progress with this directly in the issue from the link I just shared.

I can confirm that the built-in Cast option under the notification shade isn’t working. I make sure both the TCL Roku TV and the Brax3 are on the same WiFi network. Then I pull down the notification shade and choose Cast. The Cast dialog pops up and my TV show up. I then click on my TV and Cast dialog says connecting. Then it times out, and then says unavailable for my TV. It never connects. Whereas I just confirmed that my Brax2 connects to the TV without a problem and can cast my Brax2 screen to the TV. Not so with the Brax3. Help with this please.

That’s interesting. I just tried to cast my Brax3 to a Roku TV the same way you did and it works fine.
I wonder if it is some kind of conflict with the brand of TV.

I don’t have Roku. My TV does support Miracast.
Doesn’t matter if I have VPN enabled or disabled it still fails.
Brax 2 casts fine with VPN enabled…
yeah, mine is a TCL Roku TV. Roku is built in. I dislike these tech black holes; wish things would just “work”. @romluk you are probably right about the brand of TV seeing that yours works.

On second thought, I believe it has something to do with iode software implementation of the cast feature since my Brax2 works just fine.
And there isn’t any movement yet on the report that @Plamen submitted.
If there is no update on the issue in git, then there isn’t an actual update, unfortunately.
Now that the focus is on resolving the wifi issue, I don’t think this will be looked at until that’s resolved.

i am having the same issue that @yooper described on Sep 29. i also have a TCL Roku TV. The first time i tried it, the tv did prompt to allow the connection and i accepted, but after that time, it has not worked. i did check my tv’s settings to see if the phone was somehow disallowed from connecting and it was not. i have two previous Samsung phones it works with the just fine with them. Is there some reset that can be done for the Cast feature?
