Android One phones incompatible with Samsung smart TV ?

[Android Central Question]

I have tested 2 phones - one HTC and another Xiaomi running Android One up-to-date OS. Both devices are not able to find Samsung Q60 Smart TV when trying to screen cast. All the devices (phones and TV) are connected to the same WiFi network and are fully updated to the latest versions of software.
The TV is working perfectly though with Huawei running with Android 10. Also the HTC and Xiaomi are able to screen cast on Sony Smart TV. So it looks like Android One is not compatible with Samsung Q60 series smart TV, is that right ? And is there anything I can do to resolve this issue, except buying another phone/TV ?

Welcome to Android Central! From what I can tell here, Samsung Smart TVs require the device to use AllShareCast, WiDi, or Miracast to do Screen Mirroring: www.samsung.com/my/support/tv-audio-video/how-to-use-screen-mirroring-function-of-smart-tv/. Android One phones run "stock" Android, which I don't think supports any of those. The Cast Screen option in Android One is for Chromecast.

B. Diddy, thanks for the reply. So is there any app or rooting option which transforms this "stock" Android cast option into one of which Samsung supports ?

Not that I'm aware of. If you can't find any definitive answer here, try the forums at XDA-Developers.com as well.

Your best bet may just be to get a Chromecast -- you should be able to get an earlier generation pretty cheap on eBay, and even the current generation isn't particularly expensive.
