Quick connect / screen mirror - Nougat issue? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sharing my screen from a S7 edge to a Samsung 8 series 64" SUHD TV was as easy as screen mirroring.
After my nougat update, it no longer connects. It says "connecting" and then says Cannot Connect and then terminates attending to connect.
This is on quick connect or screen mirror.
I have unpaired Bluetooth and trusted devices and re-selected. For now, it's not working and a huge frustration.
Any knowledge of issues or exact steps to make this help would be most useful.
Thank you!!

I have a Vizio smart TV and a chrome cast that I use on Occasion and for the most part they work fine but on some phones and roms you have to keep on clicking connect/cast when it does that. I've had the same problem connecting before and It usually works. Good luck

[Q] Screen mirroring freezes on Lollipop

Hi all,
I really want to get screen mirroring to work on my S3. The mirroring does start, but almost freezes. After 1 or 2 minutes the second frame appears on the screen while the S3 keeps running smoothly.
I've tried a few different Lollipop ROMs (5.0.1 to 5.1.1), but they all have the same issue.
Screen mirroring on my Oppo Find 7 running Lollipop (5.0.1) works just fine.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this. Or even any ideas how too debug this?
Any help at all would be really appreciated.
Some background information:
I have build a 7" screen in my car dashboard with a Miracast dongle connected. I want to hide the S3 somewhere in the dashboard and add a lot of nice features, but I first need screen mirroring to work smoothly.
I've tried MHL, but MHL is only supported with stock Samsung ROMs and MHL interferes with GPS

Help! Netflix Error with Linksys Range Extender

I have a new RE6500 range extender connected to my wireless router. When it is active and connected the netflix apps on both my phone and tablet crash. I have a S6 and Samsung Tab s2 8". I've tried different versions of the app and Netflix support says it's the extender's fault. Any tips? Here is a screen record of the crash when I try to load the Netflix app. https://youtu.be/iorIh7kHi0I
It's a real bummer because part of the reason we got the extender was for streaming at this end of the house. :crying:
I found this link: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/39116 but that's not really a solution at all.
Same issue
Did you manage to get it to work? I have the same problem, I'm using a Nexus 6P running Nougat.

Huawei HONOR I7 PROBLEM

Hi guys, i've just bought a new Huawei honor i7 but wifi direct / screen mirroring doesn't work. The tv is a sony bravia, and my other huawei p7 connects to the tv without any issues, all my other devices and those of my friends and family also connect to the tv with 1 only tap.
I've reset the tv, still the same problem.
I've updated the huawei honor, still the same problem.
This is definitely a huawei issue, but i don't know how to solve this one.
The phone doesn't connect through "multi display" sometimes it does say connect on the device while the tv jumps back to the wifi direct screen, and the phone loses the supposed connection (because it never was really connected in the first place)
I've paired the phone through the manual wifi direct settings on the tv, but nothing.
I've tried all the possible solutions i could think of and find, is there any way to fix the phone?
I bet a screen mirroring patch such as that for samsung will fix this issue. But obviously that patch isn't applicable on huawei.
Anyone?

Chromecast Issues

Is it just me or is there a problem with LG G5 (H860) connecting to Chromecast?
I can't get to connect to my 2 chromecast devices on my TV using my new LG G5 (H860) cellphone. Also tried Localcast and YouTube. It still won't connect.
My other devices work alright (Samsung Tab A) connecting to the chromecast device. I've also tried a different chromecast unit and it still won't connect
See screenshots for reference.
Well.. I have a fully working screen casting.
One with the older model Chromecast and one with the new model.
Just used one of them today and earlier this week the other..
Tried to reboot your device and chromecast?
Edit.
I have a H850 model

I have the LG G5 LS992 (Sprint-US variant) and CHromecast works just fine. I tried Youtube, Netflix and Spotify with no problem.
You are not alone in this problem. I too have the LG G5 and have begun noticing connection issues with this specific handset.
I can usually get it to connect without issue and begin the streaming process, then somewhere along the line, the phone disconnects on it's end of things while the media continues playing on my home theater or my TV and I then have zero control over what's playing.
I'll also see intermittent flashes of the cast button on my phone's screen and when I go to connect, it asks for the CC's pin. Problem is, once something's streaming, you can't see the pin, so I have to unplug any and all power to the CC to get it back to working order. I have one in my living room and one in my bedroom and both will disconnect at various times from the phone, but not the wifi network. I know it's the phone because my old HTC One M8 will remain connected, without issue. Our tablets and PCs remain connected as well.
It's only this phone that I'm having trouble with. Even the Google Cast app doesn't find the CCs in the house, just that it knows I have backdrop settings for both.
It's become a major annoyance since we stream most of our entertainment now. I don't know why it's doing it, but I'm hoping someone has an idea. I do, but it may be nothing of value....
In Marshmallow, there's supposedly a setting to allow the wifi to sorta "sleep" to save on battery power until you touch the screen. I'm wondering if the wifi goes to sleep and disconnects from the Chromecast, causing this issue? If that's the case, is there a way to disable that so it doesn't do it? I have to charge the battery or swap it out on a regular basis anyway, so I can't imagine I'm saving much by leaving such a feature activated.

chromecast no connection

My chromecast just stopped broadcasting. It has worked fine tills for about an hour ago when it started buffering. To stop that I disconnected it in the all 4 app and now nothing is being casted. If I switch the tv on I can see the normal chromecast screen, name of the device and the network name. All other devises on the network have internet connection so it doesn't seem to be that. Tried to cast from my tab s2 and one plus 3t but neither work. Any ideas?
You have a problem with Chromecast no connection and I read your problem carefully. I think the answer your question contains here https://windowserrors.org/how-to-setup-chromecast/ because this article helps me to set up my Google Chromecast as well. I also have the connection problem like you.
