Thanks for the tip, some additional steps may be needed for some TV. Did the steps mentioned, still not connect and my tablet keep scanning. Then I press the "Input" on the remote, and scrolled to "Screen Mirror" . Next on my tablet "Cast" while it still scanning, I tap the "gear" (option/setting) . In the page, the TV is listed. Tap on the TV name, and it finally able to mirror the screen onto my Sony TV after few years of trying!
My tv (sony bravia 2020) connects to my samsung phone, my phone connects to the tv. Tv says it's connected via wifi direct but that's all it does. No phone screen on tv screen, no mirroring option in inputs section, only tv, hdmi and airplay that does nothing as I am not connected to wifi at home. So in short, devices connect together, but don't mirror. Phone tells me to turn off tv or unplug.
@@jaymenace1988 and why the f did they do that? What possible reason is there to disable one of the main uses of a screen all together, other than scamming non-tech people?
@@Civilmonkey1 i dunno i had a quick look into but couldnt find a reason. Anyways i found out a while ago that you can still screen mirror using the google home app. Your TV must have chromecast though it wont work if it has miracast the reason this works is because it doesnt rely on the sony screen mirroring app which still exists btw its just disabled. You can enable it with the command line but it never connects so i think they killed the service. The resolution while mirroring with Google Home is shocking though any text is blurry and unreadable. Heres a link to Sony saying mirroring was removed they offer some altenative (crappy) methods, but im just sharing the link so people have proof it was removed rather than just taking my word for it. www.sony.co.uk/electronics/support/articles/00044548
@@jaymenace1988 you didn't have to look all that up, man. I'm just venting because I've been trying for days now. Yeah guess gonna have to install chromecast. Thanks J
In order to get the toggle you have to go into pro mode. To get into pro mode press the display mute volume up and home buttons. If that doesn't work then try i+ mute volume up and home. Tv should restart. Go back into settings you should see a new option at the top saying pro mode. Ignore that for now. Go back into the WiFi direct setting and the toggle should now be there to turn it on. One done go into the new pro mode settings option then click on change to normal mode (this gets you out of pro mode). Tv should re start back to normal again. Then try screen mirroring again.
BROTHER what an explanation and a simple wifi direct on that's all I was watch many videos to solve this for months but you did a great job in solving this issue THANK YOU SO MUCH and I subscribed you
Thanks. I first opened wi fi direct. Logined my phone to the tvs wi fi direct. (I checked the password inside the tv.) Then I login my phone to my home’s wifi. Rebooted the tv by ac on off. Rebooted my phone. Then it started working without 3rd party app via smart view. (Phone samsung a55)
U have an older TV. I have Bravia 4K VH2 and the option to turn on/off Wi-Fi Direct is not there. When I highlight WiFi Direct I'm only given 2 option.

I'm unable to connect my Samsung Galaxy S9 with my Sony Bravia TV KDL-48W700C after so many attempts.
