Fixes For Screen Mirroring Not Working on Samsung TV<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know the reasons why screen mirroring might not work on your Samsung TV, I will share the common fixes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restart your Samsung TV<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Restarting the TV should be your first go-to fix if you ever face the issue. It will iron out any technical glitches if any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step III:<\/strong> Now apply screen mirroring, and check if it is working properly or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reboot your Mobile<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In case, the TV is perfectly fine, and your mobile is facing any issues in casting, then rebooting your smartphone becomes the next solution. Both the devices including the TV and mobile phone play an equal part in the process of screen mirroring, and you should make sure that both of them are free of any glitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step I:<\/strong> Tap and hold the power button of your mobile, located at the side of the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step II:<\/strong> Some options will appear on your screen, and you need to click on Reboot<\/strong>\/Restart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step III:<\/strong> Your phone will be restarted, and now apply screen mirroring to see if the problem is fixed or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check your Internet Connection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you see that you can’t cast to Samsung TV, then a poor internet connection might also be the culprit. In such a case, you will see that the smart view will keep on disconnecting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In such a case, closing the distance between the router and the TV would help. If that’s not a problem, then try restarting the wi-fi router. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step I:<\/strong> Disconnect your WiFi router from your Samsung TV, and turn it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step III:<\/strong> Plug it back into the power socket, connect it to your TV, and see if the screen mirroring is working properly or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn OFF Bluetooth in your Samsung TV<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Try turning off the Bluetooth in your Samsung TV, when you try to do screen mirroring. Bluetooth is primarily a wireless technology that can interfere with your internet service, especially when you’re using a WiFi router. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Turn<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When WiFi on your TV is on, there’s no need for Bluetooth, hence disable it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Third-Party Apps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even after all the above steps if the issue doesn’t get resolved, then try going for some third party apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apps like Apowermirror<\/a> and Letsview<\/a> are indeed some good screen mirroring apps, but this should be your last resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sure that if you use the above mentioned fixes, there is a 98% likelihood that the problem will be fixed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
