• a special adapter for using the widi connection;
• a modern Samsung or LG TV with an HDMI connector.

When the necessary gadgets are prepared, you need to complete several steps:

1. Turn on the equipment. On Xiaomi, go to settings, “additional features” and click on “Wireless display”.

• the technology does not work correctly, as a result of which Xiaomi “does not see” another gadget. Then you need to restart the smartphone and re-configure;
• one of the two gadgets does not meet the requirements of the application developer.

In general, Widi on Xiaomi has similar functionality and operating principles, but it transfers data faster and is more versatile in terms of the format and size of imported files.

Nowadays, people have developed many devices that can interact with each other, and compatibility in this is growing every year. Any modern smartphone and tablet can be connected to a laptop, desktop computer and even a TV. Connection is carried out in two ways: wired (using USB, HDMI and other types of cables) and wireless (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi). This feature allows you to carry out many useful actions, for example, watching a movie on your phone can be broadcast on TV when Wi-Fi assistance or other technology. Let's look at several ways to connect Xiaomi Redmi 4X to TV or other phone.

How to connect to TV

There are several ways to create a connection between TV and smartphone. First, let's look at wired methods, and then wireless ones.
First you need to purchase a special MHL cable. The idea is that there is a micro-USB connector at one end of the cable, and an HDMI connector at the other. Almost all of these types of cables have an additional USB wire that connects to a power source, such as a PowerBank.

The next connection method is wireless technology. Wi-Fi is mainly used. Your smartphone must have Miracast or Wi-Fi Direct, which is supported by any modern TV with Smart TV. Flaw this method The problem is that there may be noticeable delays in signal transmission, which means the image will be distorted.

There is another wireless method - DLNA. With it, you can work with files directly from the screen, which means you can launch them from there. You need to install a specialized application BubbleUPnP or similar on your smartphone. In this case, the phone and TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This option works well in Xiaomi Mi5.

How to connect Redmi 4a or Redmi 4 pro to TV

These smartphones most likely cannot be connected using a cable, which means we use Wi-Fi Direct:

How to connect Xiaomi Mi Max and Note 3 smartphones via USB and HDMI

Connect mobile device from TV using USB cable quite simple, but there is one caveat. The fact is that after connecting the phone, the TV will recognize it as a flash drive with file structure, which means there will be no real-time broadcast. Let's perform the following series of actions:

1. Take a Xiaomi smartphone or any other, and microUSB cable(some now support the standard USB Type-C). It is advisable that the wire be factory wire.
2. We connect the devices and wait for the TV to detect the phone.
3. Using the remote control, open the smartphone directory.
4. Now you can run music files, videos and images.

The next method is similar to Wi-Fi Direct. We connect a special cable or adapter to the smartphone and TV (one connects via microUSB, the other via HDMI). An image of the phone screen will automatically appear on the screen. Moreover, all actions carried out in mobile phone, will be broadcast on TV. The picture quality here depends on the phone's resolution.

It is worth noting that modern TV devices with Smart TV synchronize with your smartphone automatically and display the image immediately. In some cases, TV will have to be tuned.

How to control your TV instead of a remote control

Control from your phone Xiaomi TV possible using the infrared port. This technology called IrDA. Of course, you can control not only TV, but also many other devices, but here we will look at the first option.

An infrared port is available on Xiaomi Redmi note 4 and Mi Max 2. Check the availability of an IR port on your device in the characteristics, there should be a line “IRDA”.

To use your smartphone as a remote control, you need to download Mi Remote from the app store. The program supports not only control of TV, but also media players, air conditioners and other devices.

There will be one peculiarity when loading. The instrument will most likely be named with letters Chinese language, which means you need to download this particular application with the blue icon. Or it will be called Mi Remote controller.

Not right choice TV manufacturer is accompanied by the fact that when you press the buttons in the Mi Remote application, the TV will not respond, so we are looking for the right company. Although there are cases when it is possible to manipulate the TV even when choosing a different manufacturer.

And if not wireless transmission?
If your TV does not support wireless image and sound transmission technology, then an additional adapter will help you, which you can purchase in our store.

To connect, you also need a free HDMI port.

If your TV does not have HDMI inputs, then it will help you, allowing you to translate digital signal to analog. When using it, you can connect the MiraScreen adapter to your TV using “tulips”, which are present in almost all TV models.

Also, for connection (like ), additional power is required. The MiraScreen adapter shown in the photo above has remote antenna located on the USB cable. The same cable supplies power to the adapter.

The adapter can be connected to a USB port. If it is not there, then you should use any charger with parameters 5V/1A.

After connecting the adapter, the current operating mode (Apple or Android/Windows) will be displayed on the screen. If necessary, it can be changed using a special button on the device body.

The connection of the smartphone to the TV itself occurs in the same way as described above.

Modern smartphones have many useful functions, a good camera, high-resolution photos and videos, but sometimes you still need, for example, to transfer the image to a large screen. Therefore, users are interested in how to connect Xiaomi phone to the TV, what is required for this and how to carry out this operation correctly.

What does connecting to a TV do?

The first and most important thing is, of course, the excellent opportunity to view multimedia files on the big screen. This includes various TV series, films, clips, even presentations and videos shot on the phone. Brightness and contrast depend on the TV, but if the file initially has a high resolution– there will be no problems with the image.

If you have a Smart TV, you have the opportunity to work with text documents, SMS, music, programs. In short, all the extensive information on the small screen of a smartphone is “magnified” many times over using a connection, which is ideal, for example, for a large family.

What you need to connect

For some reason you are not satisfied wireless connection? Then you should pay attention to the correct choice of cords. The standard, effective and simple way is to connect viaHDMI. These connectors exist on almost all TVs, and they are quite easy to find: next to USB, but larger in size.

But on phones they are less common. Inspect the side panel of the smartphone, and if mini-HDMI is not found, then you should purchase a special adapter that connects via micro-USB.

A simpler method requires only a USB cable, connectors for which are available on almost all phones and TVs. But the functionality we get is rather weak. There is only access to materials stored on the device’s memory, while it is impossible to duplicate images.

Don’t want to spend a lot of time choosing the right cable, and besides, your TV is ordinary and doesn’t support modern options? Then an excellent solution would be a special Chromecast flash drive released by Google.

With this gadget you get:

• Wireless broadcast to TV via smartphone;
• Adding media functions;
• Access to YouTube and Google browser Chrome.

Can't do without Wi-Fi networks . For this purpose, a popular wireless connection method has even been developed - Wi-Fi Direct, which you can read about in detail below. This should also include special software “over the air”. That's all, we looked at the basic set of things needed to synchronize TV and smartphone.

Below we will look at the 3 main connection methods.

Standard method: connect via HDMI

Let us immediately note that you must have an adapter from a regular connector to HDMI. For example, on my MI5 it would be: MicroUSB Type C to HDMI.

Let's start with the simplest thing, using an HDMI cable. Be sure to turn off the device, connect the wires, now turn on the phone and TV. Next, open the TV settings using the remote control, and select “Broadcast via HDMI”. Ready. If everything is done correctly and there are no possible problems, not only the image, but also the sound is duplicated on the big screen. Quality should not suffer when correct connection there is no interference, distortion, blurred colors or contours.

The video didn't appear? This means the reason is in the smartphone itself. Usually everything is configured automatically, but manual editing may be required. We look for the “Settings” icon on the screen, go in, now open the “HDMI” - “HDMIFormat” section. You are asked to select the update frequency and image resolution. We select the parameters that correspond to the TV, since with inflated options there will be incorrect work playback

Viewing regular files: connect via USB

At first, the steps of the procedure are the same, but then it is much simpler. There is no need to configure duplicates because there are no duplicates. The user can only view music, files, pictures. Likewise.

Effective method: connect via Wi-Fi Direct (Smart TV only)

Check whether the TV and smartphone are connected to the same router, and if so, let's begin:

1. Open the smartphone settings, look for the section “ Wireless communications", put a tick next to "Wi-Fi Direct";
2. Open the TV settings - “Network”, re-activate Wi-Fi Direct.
3. There is a connection between the devices;
4. The broadcast begins. Made.

Other connection methods

There are several more connection options that are not inferior to the simplicity and convenience listed above.

DINA

Popular wireless connection, identical to standard USB, only without the use of a flash drive, wires and third-party cables. Video duplication from the phone screen is not carried out, but there is an excellent opportunity to view images, music, and documents. Requirements: finding two devices in one shared network Wi-Fi, special software available BubbleUPnP, which can be easily downloaded from Google Play.
