[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Minikefala:
Has anyone figured out a way to enable screen mirroring on the pixel 2? I understand there have been methods in the past regarding the build prop file.

Looking to mirroring via a wire or even WiFi direct rather than Chromecast.

Feedback is appreciated!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
This question has been asked a couple of times... I think I've posed the question to a couple of peeps. Originally I thought this was a hardware restriction, but seen that one individual stated that it was working on a Pixel ROM https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74365223&postcount=4 It's possible that when the ROM was ported over, the settings necessary came over with it. I haven't gotten too much deeper than this, but certainly would like this feature as well.

As far as Google sales Chromecasts, we won't get Miracast. It's business... It's the same for MHL, as far as Google sales Android auto, we won't get MHL support to use with some Head Units... Or at least we won't get it without root
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] LastFrontier:
Miracast is not set up on the Pixel 2. Myself? Personally? I do not have Wi-Fi, my only source of internet in my household is using my phones hotspot. Until the Pixel 2, I've gotten around carrier hot spot data limits by Miracasting whatever is on my phone screen, ie. Netflix to my smart TV, data shows up as my normal data, hotspot is reserved for actual hot spot needs etc. Unfortunately Pixel 2 does not have the ability to Miracast. Whatever transmission tech is needed for Miracast to project from the Pixel 2 has been deliberately left out by Google in order to boost Chromecast sales. And unfortunately, Chromecast will not use my Pixel 2's hot spot to both set itself up and receive data from my Pixel, my phone and the chromecast have to be connected to a Wi-Fi network, not my hotspot. Oh, and Google has also disabled the ability to share your screen via cables plugged into a tv/laptop as well. It's chromecast or nothing. But if you want to complain to Google with me or start a petition or something, I'm down. This is painful
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] tekkitan:
I'd love to complain to them. I'm just not sure who would listen. Seems unfair to other products though that they stripped out Miracast in favor of their own devices....
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] LastFrontier:
Actually read that dealing with chromecast side of things was actually easier to bypass than doing the whole phone root which I'm not interested in or confident enough to do. Let me think about this. This issue is common in a lot of forums. And it's not cool Google took a tech on most phones and previous versions of the Pixel itself to pigeonhole consumers into buying their Chromecast. Don't companies get sued for this type of crap? Not saying Miracast is worth a lawsuit, but isn't this playing a bit dirty?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] b00ster23:
So far, 2 ROMS that I have tried on the original google pixel has Miracast enabled. I've successfully connected to my Roku3 on both... :)
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] LastFrontier:
Good news! Yes, it's lame, no time as good as I hoped, but I found a semi-solution. My original issue, I do not have WiFi only my phones hotspot. I need to screen mirror so I can pretend I have TV. Pixel 2 does not have the Hardware to transmit wireless HD aka screen mirroring. The only way to pull this off, unfortunately, is with a Chromecast. However, chromecast no longer let's you use your phone as the wifi network (via hotspot) to **set it up the FIRST time**. It won't connect to the same phone where the wifi is coming from. Sooo... I had to hotspot my Pixel 2 to an old phone, my sprint Note. The Note connected to the hotspot from the PIXEL, I downloaded Google Home on the N4 and connected to CHROMECAST. I had to use the Note 4 to set up the chromecast to recognize the hotspot from the pixel. Then I disconnected the note 4, and started using my Pixel. As long as my hotspot from the pixel is one, Chromecast will connect and use it. HOWEVER.... I cannot screen cast from the pixel to the chromecast. I cannot mirror my screen. Only time that worked was when I had it set up backwards where the Sprint Note 4 was the hotspot. This has been a lot of ****ing work. I just wanted to avoid going against my hotspot limit. Apparently that's not going to happen. But, at least I'm able to get my phone connected to my TV again. That's refreshing. Even if it uses my data.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] tekkitan:
Can't use a Chromecast in my car lol
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mx597turbo:
That was me, now I'm at it again. I actually sold the first Pixel because the roms that allowed for Miracast had other, deal-breaking bugs. I picked up a Pixel 2, and love the phone, but I have three criteria that are non starters for me, phone wise:

*Locked bootloader - not an issue with the P2

*VOLTE on Tmobile - not an issue with the P2

*Miracast - not available on the P2

I can confirm that on the stock rom, the build.prop edit does not actually enable functioning Miracast. If I can't find a working rom, I will sell the phone. If anyone has any info, please share.

Just an aside - please stop suggesting Chromecast as an alternative. Everyone on xda knows about this device and it's ability to mirror the phone's screen. If we're asking about Miracast, we need Miracast.

Fyi: If you get a Pixel XL 2, then some hope for Miracast. Saw this post in the XL2 Nitrogen thread here

Belkin mirricast dongle let's you cast without having the casting dongle on wifi you can cast from 4g LTE to the Belkin unit
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] TLGuard:
Does your Pixel 2 let you "cast" to the Belkin?

If not, then it's just another miracast reciever.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] LastFrontier:
Correct, the Belkin is just another dongle and will not work for the Pixel 2. I'm a cable cutter and survived the last 10 years screen casting/mirror cast/screen sharing Netflix/Amazon from phone to the TV without using my hotspot data. I know Google deliberately left out the technology to enable screenshare/mirror cast to push their Chromecast devices on people. I can screenshare using my Chromecast but it uses my hotspot data. I need to avoid touching the hotspot, also need to find out and understand what exactly Google left out on the Pixel 2 to eliminate this feature. Hardware/antenna/software etc. And the end goal is to screenshare to my TV without using hotspot data and pretend I'm a civilized person who can watch TV. Any insight you could help provide in those areas please?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] VooDoo`:
Hi, I'm also very interested in this topic and still looking for a solution. At first I smiled at my boss and his iPhone, because Apple TV is needed for a direct wireless transmission. Now I can hardly believe that Google deliberately omits this standard feature. I am very disappointed.

Are there any news?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Dunge2:
What the hell, you mean my brand new 2018 high-end Pixel 2 phone can't cast to my brand new 2018 high-end LG OLED C8 TV? What kind of bull**** is this? Android is supposed to be open, unlike Apple wirh their proprietary formats usually causing this genre of issues.

I know I can use the LG app to shate media, but I wanted a system-wide screen share, and as I understand Miracast is supposed to be it.

Unlike others in this thread, my phone is rooted and with Magisk, can this help in any way?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] sbjbs:
Hi, I just enabled Miracast for my Pixel 1 running Android Pie.

Since all Pixel phones have the same Android framework, I think it may also works for other Pixel phones, but I can't test because I don't have any of them.

You can try it for your phone if you can change your system files. Please check my post in Google Pixel forum.

Hi,

I'm still on wm6. Thinking of upgrading to wm6.1, but there have been far too many msgs complaining of sms sending problems. Is that for a fact? I mean, is it a serious enough problem to stay away from wm6.1? It would be interesting to know if majority of ppl with wm6.1 are sending and receiving smses bug-free.

TIA.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] bsmllh99:
For me, I need my SMS/MMS and couldn't afford to spend time troubleshooting or trying to find what could be the cause of it. But I did try most of the WM6.1 ROMs as well changing the Radio ROMs but still not OK for me.

So I am now back to WM6.0 - Crystal V5 ROM from cloudyfa

working great so far.

Yeah Sam.. seems like ppl have been losing msgs, not been able to send them etc. etc.. many sms related problems.

I am interested to know what the difference between jpeg engine in the Pixel vs Pixel 2. Will us Pixel 1 owners benefit from jpeg engine of the Pixel 2 or is it a lateral move or worse downgrade(seen it happen to some extent in the ILC/larger sensor camera market)? If it is better jpeg engine, I take we just install the Pixel 2 camera to get the different jpeg engine?

Maybe a noob question here, but I was hoping to get wireless charging on my 2XL with a Nilken USB-C adapter. Works great on my N6P, but on the Pixel 2XL I get no charge. It registers as charging, but the battery % never goes up, even after an hour+. Is there an obvious reason why? I can't find any info anywhere.

Suggestions on getting wireless charging working?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:

If you really need wireless charging, there are USB-C pads that you mount inside a case. Check Amazon

My Pixel 2 XL will only charge with my old Pixel XL or the new one that was shipped with the phone. Even my car charger won't charge up the new pixel. I get the charging icon in the display but it always stays at the same charge?

Maybe your in the same boat as I am in?

That it will only charge with the Pixel chargers (old or new)?

That's what I thought, thankfully I have 2 pixel chargers now, (1 from my old Pixel XL and the new one)

Had to RMA my brand new Pixel 2 XL as phone calls could only be heard from the speaker not the earpiece itself. I thought we had fixed this issue previously when I called into Google Support and we wiped the phone thus fixing the no sound issue but I noticed this past Saturday that it came back!

New phone should be here Tuesday or Wednesday.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Larzzzz82:
It charges me with the turbo charger from the N6 as well as 2 port charger I have in my truck. It just says charging, not slowly or rapidly... The 2 port quick charger was for the N6.

A wireless charging coil that works with this phone would be great. I am somewhat invested into qi technology with the cradle in the truck and the stand on the night stand.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ewizzle78:
Seems like because the qi adapters are not fast charging, and the Pixel 2 doesn't seem to charge at all with low power chargers, wireless charging might not be an option yet. Inwas hoping too! Awesome to just thrown the phone on the cradle at night and no wires to f with. Maybe another battery case manufacturer will make a battery case with wireless charging again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vansmack:
I have the same wireless add-on and it used to work brilliantly on my OG Pixel, but you are correct - I can't get it to work with my 2 XL. Like yours, it says "charging" but the percentage doesn't move overnight. Interestingly, I don't think it reduces in power either (I haven't been paying close attention, but I'm pretty sure I've woken up to the same % each morning that I fell asleep to). I will try again tonight.

The short vs long version of the hardware are identical except that one is longer for when it's in a case you can center it on a flat qi base, so that won't make a difference.

Very strange. I do have a fast charging wireless charger on order that I will try when it arrives, but I'm not confident it will solve the problem.

Pixel 2 XL. I can assure you it works for me without any issue but I do have to tell you that I am using a slim case and I don't like the little bulge that is caused by the wireless pad that you have to use. I may just give up on using it but it does work just fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vansmack:

Gotcha...not a problem at all. If I can help with anything else, please don't hesitate to ask.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ewizzle78:
Hm... now I'm a little confused. Sorry to be so nitty picky. The Chotech T520 has a microUSB powder input connector, and the Pixel 2XL comes with a USB-C to USB-C power brick and cable. As such the Pixel powder and cable would not work with the Choetech T520 out of the box. So do you mean you are using the powder brick that came with the Cheoetech T520? Or the white powder brick that came with the Pixel? If the later, you would need a USB-C to MicroUSB adapter. right? Or am I off base?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vansmack:
Figured it out - it was the wireless charging stand.

For my OG Pixel, this charger worked like a champ. But it didn't work for the Pixel 2 XL for whatever reason.

I upgraded to this charger and it works just as well as before. Maybe even a little better!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ewizzle78:
Thanks for the suggestion! I picked up this charger stand, but I'm still not getting any charge. Maybe actually draining faster. Can you confirm the wireless adapter and charging brick you are using and getting good charge with? I've tried several.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vansmack:
Absolutely - happy to help out.

It was this wireless adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y5FDXD4/

And this wireless stand:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J3C2RS8/

I have plugged into this Anker multi-USB plug (though there are many, newer smarter versions than this one):

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DVH62J2/

I have it plugged into the iPad port, which should crank out 5W to the stand. I'm using the cable that came with the stand. Two other ports are charging Android Wear watches and draw very little power from the Anker plug.

I can't tell you how fast it's charging as I use it before I go to bed, but last night I set it on the stand around 10PM with 18% battery left and woke up with a fully charged battery at 6AM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vansmack:
If you're still having problems, I have a new suggestion based on my experience: Power off your phone. Count to three. Power it back on and it should work with your wireless charger.

Allow me to explain...

So it worked brilliantly Wednesday through Sunday. This battery is such a beast I only needed to charge it overnight with the wireless stand.

On Monday, I came to work and towards the afternoon I plugged my phone into the OEM charger to top it off. On Monday night the wireless charger didn't work. So Tuesday, when I got to work I plugged it back in the OEM charger to charge it up. Tuesday night, the wireless charger didn't work again.

Frustrated, I looked back to see what I did differently. The only thing I did was use the OEM charger during the day. So this morning, I powered off my phone, powered it back up and put the phone back on the wireless charger while I got ready for work. Low and behold, the battery went from 27% to almost 50% in that hour.

Huge PITA, but it looks like initiating PD might be the problem. Today I'm using my non-PD car charger to and from work just to see if it's any charger or just PD, but I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with using the OEM charger.
