Features, settings & updates

[ZReptilelxl]

So it's been posted before and clearly not fixed, every time I go to screen mirror my phone to my roku I'm only able to do it once and then not again till a factory reset is done

Things tried

System power reset

Restarting of my phone

Setting settings to always aloud for my phone

Nothing works for me but a factory reset and honestly this is ridiculous that this issue isn't fixed yet

it's using too much of my Hotspot to even keep factory resetting to update it all again just for the same issue to occur again and loop it all over again any help would be appreciated

Hi @ZReptilelxl,

A warm welcome here in the Roku Community!

We understand that you're having an issue with screen mirroring and we're sorry for the trouble this may have caused you. If you are experiencing issues with Roku screen mirroring, try reconnecting the devices first. If that doesn't work, try disabling and enabling Wi-Fi on your devices. If you still cannot mirror, change your TV screen mirroring mode to "Prompt" and this should resolve the problem. Also, please let us know if you have tried mirroring from different mobile devices or laptops to see if the issue is specific to one device.

For more information on how to use screen mirroring, you can visit our support page here: How to screen mirror from your phone, tablet, or computer to your Roku streaming device.

Thanks,
Rey

Don't even bother asking here. They will never tell you the truth which is that.. 

Screen mirroring no longer works with ANY roku TV.

The ONLY way to do it is to go into advanced settings and literally RESET THE NETWORK. And it'll turn your tv off and on. Do NOT put your wifi back on when the tv comes back on. The only way to screen mirror now is to do it without the wifi. And i don't mean just disconnect the tv from wifi. That won't work either. It only works when you reset the network and stay offline.

Idk what kind of bug this is or why they haven't fixed it. We got a samsung tv and surprise surprise, my phone screen shares just fine! And it's not just my android phone. It was an iphone. A motorola razr phone. A brand new samsung tablet. Laptops etc. And it's not my certain TV either. Cause we have two completely different brands of TV's. They just both happen to be Roku. Roku is more than aware of this They just don't care.
