My phone is Galaxy A14 5G and samsung chat support are saying it is not compatible. I want to mirror the screen on my Windows laptop and also on my LG smart TV, so my money got wasted. Even though I have the latest phone, you can not give me this old feature.
Is Samsung really progressing or going back to the old days? #samsung #screencast
Screen mirroring from your Samsung Galaxy A14 5G to both a Windows laptop and an LG Smart TV is indeed possible, though it may require some workarounds since the native Smart View functionality might not be directly available or fully compatible as per your experience with Samsung chat support. Here's how you can approach this:
Screen Mirroring to Windows Laptop: Samsung Flow: This app can facilitate screen mirroring from your Galaxy A14 5G to a Windows PC. Both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network, and you should ensure that both have the latest updates. Download Samsung Flow from the Google Play Store for your phone and the Microsoft Store for your Windows PC. After installation, pair both devices via Bluetooth, and follow the prompts to enable screen mirroring.
Windows 10/11 Built-in Features: If Samsung Flow doesn't work or isn't preferred, you can try the built-in "Connect" app in Windows. Make sure your PC has this app (it comes with Windows 10 and later). On your Galaxy device, swipe down to access Quick Settings, tap on "Smart View," and then select your PC from the list of devices. You might need to enter a PIN shown on your PC screen.
Screen Mirroring to LG Smart TV: Using LetsView: This is a third-party app that can help mirror your Samsung phone to an LG TV. Both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. Download the LetsView app on both your Samsung Galaxy A14 5G and LG TV (if available, or use an APK if not through Google Play). After installation, run the app on both devices and enter the PIN displayed on your TV into your phone to start mirroring.
Miracast: If your LG TV supports Miracast, you can use this protocol. Activate Miracast on your TV (check your TV's manual for specific steps), then on your phone, go to Quick Settings and tap "Smart View" to find and connect to your TV.
Third-party Apps or Adapters: If neither of the above methods works smoothly, consider using a wireless display adapter like a Chromecast or similar devices for casting. Alternatively, for a wired solution, an HDMI adapter or cable can provide a direct and reliable connection from your phone to the TV, although this isn't true screen mirroring but rather a direct display output.
Considerations: Software Updates: Ensure your phone is running the latest software. Sometimes, updates can add or improve features like screen mirroring. Check for updates in Settings > Software update.
Compatibility Issues: If you're facing persistent issues, it might be due to specific model incompatibilities or software limitations. In such cases, third-party solutions or hardware adapters are often the workaround.
Your device might not natively support all desired functionalities out-of-the-box, but with the above methods, you should be able to achieve screen mirroring in some form. If Samsung's native solutions are lacking, these alternatives can still provide functionality, ensuring your investment in the Galaxy A14 5G isn't wasted.
