I’m having trouble mirroring my iPhone to my ONN TV. I’ve tried several methods, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me figure out what might be going wrong and how to fix it?

So, you’re having trouble mirroring your iPhone to your ONN TV. That sucks. Screen mirroring issues are super annoying, but let’s see if we can figure it out. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Check Compatibility: First off, make sure your ONN TV actually supports AirPlay. Not all models do. If it doesn’t, you might be trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

  2. Ensure Both Devices are on the Same Network: Both your iPhone and your ONN TV need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This is a common mistake, and it can be easily overlooked.

  3. Update iOS and TV Firmware: Make sure both your iPhone’s iOS and your TV’s firmware are up-to-date. Outdated software can cause connectivity issues.

  4. Enable AirPlay on TV: Go into your TV settings and ensure that AirPlay is enabled. This is sometimes disabled by default.

Once AirPlay is enabled:

  1. On your iPhone, open Control Center (swipe down from the top-right corner).
  2. Tap Screen Mirroring.
  3. Select your ONN TV from the list.
  4. Enter the AirPlay code shown on your TV (if prompted).

If Your ONN TV Doesn’t Support AirPlay

If your ONN TV model doesn’t have built-in AirPlay, you can still mirror your iPhone using one of these methods:

  1. DoCast is a mirroring iPhone app that works with almost all smart TVs and streaming devices — including Chromecast, Fire TV, Roku, Samsung, LG, ONN, Sony, and others.
  • After installing, connect your iPhone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network, open DoCast, select your TV or streaming stick from the list, and start mirroring or casting videos, photos, and music.
  • It’s wireless, easy to set up, and supports multiple brands in one app.

  1. Lightning to HDMI Adapter (Apple Digital AV Adapter)
  • This is the most reliable, lag-free option for mirroring.
  • Plug the adapter into your iPhone’s Lightning port, connect an HDMI cable from the adapter to your ONN TV, and select the matching HDMI input on the TV.
  • Your iPhone screen will appear instantly, no Wi-Fi required.

Following these steps should get you sorted. If not, it might be time to think about resetting your network settings or even a factory reset on the TV, but that’s a last resort kind of thing. Hope this helps!

Look, if Jeff’s method didn’t solve the problem, then there might be something odd going on. First, be sure to double-check the basics like compatibility and Wi-Fi connection. If your ONN TV doesn’t natively support AirPlay, there are a few alternative solutions you could try:

  1. Third-Party Apps: Sometimes, the built-in capabilities just don’t cut it. There are third-party apps designed specifically for screen mirroring. For example, I’ve heard good things about the DoCast app, which makes the mirroring process more user-friendly and reliable.

  2. Using a Chromecast: If you have a Chromecast lying around, this could be an alternative. Install Google Home on your iPhone, set up the Chromecast, and then use the ‘Cast Screen’ option.

  3. Use an HDMI Adapter: Sometimes, going back to basics with an HDMI cable and Apple’s Lightning Digital AV Adapter does the trick. Sure, it’s old school, but it’s practically foolproof.

  4. Check for Interference: Sometimes other devices or settings cause interference. Try turning off nearby Bluetooth devices or adjusting your Wi-Fi channel to minimize interruptions.

  5. Factory Reset (As a Last Resort): Jeff mentioned this too, but if you’re down to the last straw, a factory reset on the TV might be necessary. Be aware you’ll lose saved settings and data, so consider this only if nothing else works.

Good luck, and remember, sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective!

Hey there! Looks like @viajantedoceu and @jeff have given you some solid advice, but I get it—troubleshooting tech can be frustrating sometimes. Let’s approach this from a different angle.

  1. Power Cycle Your Router: Before you smash your TV, try restarting your router. Some devices can get funky and require that extra nudge.

  2. Check Router Settings: Ensure that your router isn’t blocking P2P connections or AirPlay services.

  3. Alternative Third-Party Apps: Besides the DoCast app (which is pretty solid), you might want to look into alternatives like AirBeamTV. Both have their pros and cons—DoCast is user-friendly and efficient but could have in-app purchases; AirBeamTV is versatile but a bit clunky.

  4. Bluetooth Off: Sometimes, Bluetooth can interfere with AirPlay. Try turning it off temporarily on your iPhone.

  5. Network Congestion: Are there too many devices hogging the Wi-Fi? Limiting the number of connected devices can sometimes free up the needed bandwidth.

  6. Firewall Settings: Check if your router’s firewall settings are too restrictive, possibly blocking the screen mirroring feature.

  7. Close Background Apps: Too many apps running in the background on your iPhone can strain it. Close unnecessary apps and try again.

  8. Consider Using Apple TV or Roku: If you really want flawless AirPlay mirroring, investing in an Apple TV could make your life easier. It’s designed to work seamlessly with iPhones.

By covering these angles, you should be able to identify and fix the issue. And remember, even the best app like DoCast has its ups and downs, but it generally does a good job. Good luck, and let’s hope you get that screen mirroring working soon!
