Solution
For the possible reasons mentioned above, the following are corresponding solutions:
- Compatibility issues
Ensure that both your phone and computer support screen mirroring function. Different mobile phone and computer brands may support different screen casting methods, so it is necessary to check the information in the manual or official website. If your phone and computer support the same screen casting method but still cannot connect, you can try the following methods:
a. Update operating system and drivers: Ensure that your phone and computer’s operating system and related drivers are at the latest version. This helps to improve compatibility and stability.
b. Restart device: Try turning off your phone and computer, and then restart them. This can eliminate potential compatibility issues.
- Unstable network connection
The screen mirroring function requires a stable network connection. If your network connection is unstable, it may cause screen mirroring failure. You can try the following methods:
a. Ensure stable network connection: Check if your network connection is stable and try reconnecting to the network. If you are using a Wi Fi connection, you can try switching to another network or using a wired connection.
b. Use a stable Wi Fi network: Ensure that the Wi Fi network signal you are using is good and stable. If you are using a public Wi Fi network, you can try using a wired connection or a more stable Wi Fi network.
- Incompatible or missing driver program
The driver program is the bridge between the operating system and hardware devices. If the driver program is incompatible or missing, it may cause screen mirroring failure. You can try the following methods:
a. Check the drivers: Ensure that both your phone and computer have the latest versions of drivers. If your device supports wireless screen mirroring, please ensure that the wireless network card driver is also the latest version.
b. Reinstall drivers: If your drivers have problems or are missing, you can try reinstalling them. Before reinstalling the driver, please backup your data just in case.
- Incorrect screen mirroring settings
Incorrect screen mirroring settings may result in screen mirroring failure. You can try the following methods:
a. Check screen mirroring settings: Check if the screen mirroring settings are correct on your phone and computer. Ensure that you have selected the correct screen casting method and target device. Meanwhile, ensure that you have enabled the necessary permissions and settings.
b. Manually adding a connection method: If your phone and computer cannot automatically connect, you can try manually adding a connection method. Open the “Settings” menu on the computer, find and click on the “Sound” option. In the sound options, find and click on the “Bluetooth” option. Then, turn on the Bluetooth function of the phone and set it to a searchable state. Wait for the computer to search for nearby Bluetooth devices, select your phone, and follow the prompts to connect. After successful connection, you should be able to see the screen content of your phone on your computer.
