I had a similar problem... it turned out the phone was connecting to 2.4ghz WiFi and the stick was connecting to 5ghz WiFi at home.. when it was same network it worked fine else it disconnected.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] toxa24:
I've been researching this problem for the past week. What i've gathered so far is that some process interferes with mirroring after my phone has been running for a while... If I restart my phone, or chromecast - it works no problems. It also works casting netflix, youtube, etc. I have a samsung TV, and when i try to connect my phone through TV, it also works. I called Chromecast yesterday, thinking that it could be a defective chromecast device, but it works other than the above issue. So I think that some process gets activated some time shortly after phone reboot, and that's why when i press 'cast screen/audio' from Home app, it says 'disconnecting', because some other process is already working... I will be calling Samsung Tech support tonight, to see if they have any clue, although i don't get my hopes up. If their tech support guys are the same as their customer service reps, I won't get far with them.

I also tried any and all settings changes that i could think of, and nothing works. The best solution for me is either to restart my phone prior to mirroring, or just connect from TV to the phone (it works that way), not from phone to TV. If I figure out a solution, I'll try to update. I have a similar thread on Android Central in Note 8 General section that i started Sunday, 10/15/2017. No one seems to know the solution, and not many people have encountered this (you are the first person that i found with the same problem other than myself).

Just found this app by Samsung called "ScreenMirroring Patch", will try out after work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...patch&hl=en&rdid=com.sec.screenmirroringpatch

My networks are the same - Chromecast and the phone. I had the problem you had previously, it would continuously drop the connection... This isn't the same problem, it just says ' connecting' and never does if i try to mirror my screen through Smart View (in my quick settings panel), or 'disconnecting' if i select 'cast screen/audio' through Home app.

Chromecast woes with the Note8

This is the exact problem that I am having and the same resolution that I came to. I literally have to restart my phone every time I go to cast. I've had an issue where I left it casting for a while, but the phone seemed to forget and shut it off. The stream was still going on the Chromecast, but I could not disconnect with my phone via Netflix or through the Home app. After I rebooted, I was able to disconnect through the Home app.

I searched for a bout 10 days after I got my phone and found nothing about this. No answers, not even a mention of anyone else having the issue. I really thought I was the only one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] toxa24:
I'll post here if my call to Samsung Tech Support later tonight provides a solution/clarity on the issue. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] toxa24:
So I spoke to Samsung + Tech support, and they didn't know what the problem was. They offered for me to send in my device for repairs. I am kind of hesitant since i don't know if that would fix the problem, and it will take 9-11 business day, i don't have a decent phone to use for 2 weeks... He also suggested that it was a software bug, and that i wait for software update. Since we should be getting Oreo by the end of the year (fingers crossed), maybe i just wait until we get an update and see if it's fixed. I did a factory reset on Friday, but didn't check for the issue right away, only after installing all of my apps. Really don't know what to do... Hopeful that someone else discovers the solution - or concrete cause. Oh well... I will never buy directly from Samsung again. Verizon would have sent me a replacement, and I would have it in 2 days, and wouldn't be without a phone for 2 weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
I was curious so I tried screen mirroring to my Amazon Fire TV. Tries to connect but fails. My Note 8 will say connecting to Fire TV & my Fire TV will say connecting to Note 8 but it fails & disconnects.

I don't think wifi type has anything to do with it. My Note 5 screen mirrors fine & my Note 5 is connected to 2.4ghz & my Fire Tv is connected to 5ghz.

Tried restarting my Note 8 & even tried connecting it to the 5ghz also, no luck. I never use it but damn, just knowing that it doesn't work is not good for my health!

I recently added an exchange account, and remember a while back some phone options weren't available because they weren't secure enough and not allowed by exchange policy. I removed the account, cleared cache, and restarted the phone. It worked (usually does after a restart),but I'll will check again tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
I did a search (outside of XDA) & it appears that a lot of people are having this problem with the Note 8, S8 also. I tried changing the resolution on both my Note 8 & Fire TV, still no luck for me but some say it worked for them.

Wow, I didn't see those. Thank you, at least mine works after restart, and now I know that's it's probably a bug, not my phone is defective

So I changed my screen resolution to 450 as in the instructions in the picture, and haven't restarted the phone since about 8pm last night, and it works, it mirrors without restart - thank you!

Edit: I also removed my Exchange account, so that could have also been the cause

I'm getting the same issue, it's almost a week now. My phone is Le1s, I tried everything restarting phone/ cc still no luck. Even this is very common problem you can check Google cc forum. According to Google developers it's related to Google play services microphone permission.

What's your take ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jameskchurch:
I have the same issue (Samsung Galaxy Note 8 casting to built-in Chromecast in my Toshiba TV).

The Issue: I could connect via "Smart View" once, but then after disconnecting, wasn't able to connect again.

I found a temporary solution - at least, a better temporary solution (for me) than restarting my phone each time I want to cast. I have a Google Home in the same room.

The Solution: After connecting my Note 8 to my TV successfully, when I'm ready to disconnect, rather than disconnecting directly, I push the Smart View bubble and press "change device" to my Google Home. Once connected to my Google Home, I can disconnect. When I turn on Smart View again, it auto-connects to my Google Home first, and then I can change devices to my TV again. No issue and no need to restart the phone now. I just need to remember to move to the Google Home again to disconnect each time. Annoying? Definitely. But better than restarting the phone each time, at least.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mristic:
If you want screen cast to work without restarting the phone, all you need to do it to disable/enable Microphone in Google Play services.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Yorgosphere:
I had the same issue with a galaxy s7 edge. All chromecast enabled apps work fine but after a while the screen mirroring through google home would immediately say "disconnecting" then fail.

I found 3 workarounds 1- restart the phone, 2- change the screen resolution on the phone, 3- disable and then enable microphone permission (or any permission) for google play services.

I seem to have found a solution. After doing 2 things this has worked perfectly for 2 days. 1- I enabled all preloaded google apps that I had disabled (google play music, hangouts, drive, etc.) and then made sure the play store updated them to the current versions. 2- Go to settings-google-cast media controls: and make sure "media controls for cast devices" is turned on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BaronKrause:
I have this same issue with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3.

I have 2 Chromecast, an old Original and a new Chromecast Ultra connected to a 4k TV and also using the wired network adapter.

I can use Google home to mirror to the old original one fine, but when trying to mirror to the Ultra it does that insta disconnect issue that others here described.

Unsure if it's because it's the Ultra and the issue is resoloution (I think Ultras can receive higher resoloution mirror casts?). Or maybe it's due to the wired adapter, which i normally wouldn't even consider since screen mirroring works fine to it from my Nexus 6, but if there is any truth to that earlier claim that this issue only occured for someone when one device was connected to 2.4ghz and the other on 5ghz then it's possible this is related.

[Edit]

Ok I went and tested another chromecast at a different location and it also worked fine. So i I went ahead and unpluged the lan cable from the problematic Ultra and it went into new setup mode (since it never had a wifi network added) and joined it to my wifi network. The Samsung tablet then connected perfectly to it with screen mirroring through google home. Plug in the network jack and its back to doing the same insta disconnect issue. Unplug it and wait for it to pop back onto wifi and it works great again.

Why would that be the issue? The wired adaptor works great for all native streaming from all my devices and screen mirroring from my Nexus phone so I doubt its bad. Im tempted to plug in a usb lan adapter to the tab and try it again and see if it works when their both wired.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sll1313:
I don’t know if this is the way to do it. But I was having the same issues as the posts on here. Eventually I pushed Smart View and my phone was now mirrored to the TV. It won’t work hitting the cast button in the Home app, even though it says it’s ready to cast. It’s working with this, but I don’t know if this is technically the correc way to do it. What does everyone else think? If someone found out something else please let me know as well. Thank you in advance for your help!

I happened to restart my phone and now the cast will work in the Google Home app. I thought maybe the only way It mirrored the phone was through Smar View, but now I realized I’m wrong because I looked that’s not even enabled. So now I’m really confused because I hope that it will still work both ways and second I now don’t really know the difference between Smart View and casting through Google Home app. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and BTW my tv is a Sony in case that matters, which I think it does. That’s actually why I got the chromecast in the first place.

Samsung A5 2017 - Chromecast 2

My son's phone had the same problem and I reached to this solution on each forums that I found with this screen mirror problem.

This was not enough in our case and even full cache deletion didn't help.

I finally could manage this by deleting the cache directly on the Google Play Services application itself, from the Apps settings while the Google Home application was force stopped before.

After the deletion it started to work immediately.

Before the deletion it has shown only a "Connecting" text for a second, then nothing happened.

Hope it helps ... good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] str0ngw4ve:
SOLVED (at least it worked for me)

The issue is with your smartphone's screen resolution. I lowered it from WQHD (2560x1440) to FHD (1920x1080) and it worked immediately. Hope this helps you too...

Hi all,

Today I smashed my company phone - old Myphone Cube. I dont want to repair him, I will get newer BUT I want to restore my data.

I have there important photos on internal storage + ALL MY CONTACTS.

I tried everything with adb via stock recovery (update via ADB), which gives me ADB error: closed (no matter which version of adb I use.

In stock recovery is also an option "backup data", so I made an backup to sdcard. On sdcard in computer I see 3,5GB big file with .backup extension. I unpacked it via 7-zip and all I see is userdata_20100101_000113.backup. I cannot unpack it via anything.

Iam very lost. I tried many tools and stuff, but nothing helped me do something with ADB or this backup file. I also tried USB OTG to connect mouse, because LCD is still working, only touch doesnt, but this phone doesnt support OTG. I tried also My Phone explorer, but sadly, I dont have turned on USB debugging.

Iam playing with idea to buy digitizer for 10 bucks of ebay and do it this way, If any of those metods will not work.

Any ideas please? :(
