Someone figure out how to connect my A21 to my TV! - Samsung Galaxy A21s Questions & Answers

Just so this doesn't come up in the answer - I don't have wi-fi or a smart TV, just my mobile data and a not-so-smart HDMI TV. I used to use my Galaxy J7 to connect to a Screen Beam Mini 2 via Smart View on my J7. I just got a Galaxy A21 and it turns out Samsung stopped making Smart View as of a month ago (Oct. 2020). I have tried EVERY possible way to get some version of SV on this phone with zero success. I can't connect it via USB C to HDMI either so that's out. If ANYONE can find a way for me to continue using the Screen Beam or another way to mirror to my TV I'd be VERY grateful!!!!

Hi @savver86, This might be too late but I have an A21s android 11 and smart view is available on the notification as a button. It might be the same for you on A21. And I don't think Samsung stopped Smart view. I received 2 major updates and smart view is not removed.

If you are looking for wireless mirroring then you will need one of these.
AllShare Cast Wireless Hub
Otherwise, you can use a MHL adapter for wired mirroring.
MHL Adpater

Theoretically then it should work unless there is some incompatibility. Don't have personal experience of the same, so I suppose you will have to wait for a response from someone who has tried out screen mirroring using the S3.
Same problem here
Hi, maybe it's too late for an useful answer, but... the "Screen Mirroring" works on Sony TVs, and without the all-share cast dongle!
I have a Sony W6 (2013), connected via WiFi.
With stock rom 4.3 just connect the S3 to the same network, turn on screen mirroring on the phone and the Screen Mirroring should star automatically!
But screen mirroring doesn't work with a modded rom, in that case will appear the message "unable to start screen mirroring because of a hardware issue". Maybe the flash counter must be "0"... I don't know if there's a way to use this functionality with a modded rom.

Any way to enable ethernet on S6 EDGE? (SM-G925F)

Hello , I have read in another topic that someone tried it but all apps including browser didn't recognize it (they needed a wifi or data connection to work) , even though he was able to ping outside (internet or external) ips via a local console (same thing happened with me following his guide , I can't post links yet , you can find his post easily by googling a little).
Is there any another way to enable it and working properly? I thought about that my phone has not ethernet drivers installed , so can someone send here ethernet drivers from a samsung galaxy tab tablet for example? Will this "hack" work? I mean , if I transfer galaxy tab ethernet files-drivers-options to another galaxy smartphone?
Or if the above sounds kinda silly and doesn't work, is there a custom rom or hack including ethernet support to try and flash? I don't want to change my OS or kernel , I just want to add ethernet support.
I did accept that the phone doesn't also support VIDEO OUT via MHL-HDMI , so I purchased a "Actiontec SBWD60A01 ScreenBeam Mini 2 Wireless Display Receiver HDMI Full HD" for this work , but I cannot accept that this super smartphone cannot work with ethernet ( I already own a female-ethernet-to-usb adapter) , I don't want to buy a tablet just for ethernet!!! This would be fool to do if I just bought one and after that discovered that s6 edge had really ethernet support via a way.

If you are rooted, have you tried:

Quick connect / screen mirror - Nougat issue?

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

Wireless Keyboard Sharing (using official keyboard cover) without using wifi

Hi all,
is there a way to share the official keyboard between the tab s7+ and the s21 (using the wireless keyobard sharing feature) without being connected to a wifi network.
I was wondering because something i have to work on differents locations where i am not connected to wifi, but only on 5G.
Or maybe is there a way of doing this by using Bluetooth ?
I tried this but i get an error message.
Is there a way to be connected on bluetooth without sharing internet thru bluetooth? (as my tab and my phone have 5g sim's)
thanks all

By sharing, do you mean connecting a keyboard to both your Tab S7+ and S21?
You can via Bluetooth, but you can only connect to them one at a time. You can't connect a wireless keyboard to your tablet and phone simultaneously.
Wireless keyboards and mice all use BT. I have never seen any that use WiFi to connect to devices. At least not 802.11. There are plenty that use 2.4GHz, but they come with an USB wireless adapter.
Hi sorry i was not very precise. (i am going to edit my post)
I was talking about sharing the official keyboard of the tab s7 using the Wireless Keyboard Sharing feature that allow the keyboard to switch beetwen both devices.
This works very well but only when both devices are connected to the same wifi network.
this feature is presented here :
Galaxy Tab S7 & S7+ Users Can Enjoy More Streamlined Galaxy Ecosystem Experiences with One UI 3 Update
Samsung’s latest tablet devices, Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+, are packed with a versatile range of productivity and connectivity features to help users connect
news.samsung.com
The official keyboard is not 'auto powered" so it cannont work as a standalone keyboard for the s21
Ah. Thanks for clarifying. This is news to me. I didn't know this was a thing. I use Microsoft Launcher on both my Tab S7 and Note 10+, so I'm not sure if will work.
I found this on Reddit. How to do it is on the comments.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyTab/comments/o0y3cz
"
You can enable this feature under Settings -> General Management -> Physical Keyboard -> Wireless Keyboard Sharing. This makes your Tab show up as a generic bluetooth keyboard/trackpad when other devices search for it. Then, on the other PC you can connect to the Tab S7 via bluetooth and that made it work for me.
(You need to have the book cover keyboard connected to your Tab during all this)"
Update. It uses BT. I just tried it and it worked with my Note 10+. Evidently, it'll work with any BT enabled device. I'm going to try it with my Surface Pro 6 tomorrow. I'll let you know whether or not it worked.
@DJCarlos It uses BT. I successfully connected my Tab S7 to my Microsoft Surface Pro 6. I am typing this on my Tab S7, but in my Edge browser on my Surface Pro 6. I am still not completely sold on its practicality though.
Edit: It does not need to be connected to WiFi for this to work. I connected my Note 10+ to my S7 via BT and typing this on my phone using my S7's keyboard. Neither my phone, nor my Tab S7 are connected to WiFi, nor is my phone's Hotspot is enabled.
