Hi,


I'm trying to connect a Samsung S5 to a Toshiba Smart Tv, using screen mirroring, over my home wifi.


With both devices enabled, they recognise each other, and I get an access code on tv screen which is sent to my phone.


When I enter code into phone, both devices say connecting, but then tv comes up with 'connection failed, try again', to no avail.


Any ideas?


Thanks.

    Are you using a app or the built in function on your phone?

    Generally i find i have to use allcast app to make any android devices work with mirroring on non LG/Samsung Tvs
