Android Devices

Because there are so many differing implementations of Android OS, the following are general guidelines. The exact method and terminology differs depending on your device/manufacturer.

Note: Devices manufactured by Google will likely require the Google Cast option or may not work because Google disables the other protocols on Google-branded devices.

Miracast is available on Android devices with 4.2 and newer versions of Android

  1. Open your device’s Settings app.
  2. Under the Device section, tap Display. Scroll down on the Display screen and tap Cast Screen.
  3. Tap the Menu button at the top of your screen and select Enable wireless display. Your phone will scan for nearby Miracast devices and display them in a list under Cast Screen. The Cynap device should appear in the list.
  4. Tap the device to connect and enter the 4-digit PIN code (displayed on the top of the Cynap screen).

You can also cast from the Quick Settings screen if you’ve enabled the wireless display feature under Cast Screen. Pull down with two fingers from the top of your screen to open Quick Settings, tap the Cast Screen button, and you’ll see a list of nearby devices.
