The Smart View is a useful feature that lets you mirror your smartphone device to a Smart TV. It allows you to control and lets you enjoy various multimedia content such as images, videos, games, and more on a much larger screen.

However, sometimes, there might be problems with your Smart View where it does not connect or mirror the contents of your smartphone.

Usually, this error props up when your devices are connected to different Wi-Fi connections, have an outdated operating system, VPN services, etc.

Thankfully, the fixes to this issue are relatively straightforward and should not take more than a few minutes of your time.

So, without further ado, let us jump right into learning how to fix the smart view not working.

How to Fix Smart View Not Working? 

As mentioned above, the fixes for smart view not working are relatively easy to execute. This comprehensive guide contains a list of simple yet effective troubleshooting methods. The fixes include rebooting your devices, enabling Smart TV access, updating system software, checking Wi-Fi connection, and more.

Now, let us learn each of these methods in more detail. 

Allow Permission on TV

In some instances, your Smart T.V. might have gotten disconnected. As a result, it can cause your device to stop the mirroring process. So, in this case, you might have to re-allow the permission through your phone’s Quick panel to access mirroring again. 

Here are some steps you can follow. 

  1. Open up the Quick panel by swiping down the screen. 
  2. Locate and tap on the Smart View option.

    select your TV from Smart View
  4. Now, follow the on-screen instructions to allow your Smart T.V. to access the contents of your phone.
  5. Alternatively, you can head to the Smart View app and also configure the Permission setting.

Check Wi-Fi Connection

One of the most common reasons your Smart View mirroring might not be working is when you have different Wi-Fi connections on your phone and TV. So, always ensure you are connected to the same network to avoid such issues.

Also, you might need an active and stable internet connection to access online content like Youtube or Netflix shows.

If you’re facing issues with your Wi-Fi or internet connection, here are some quick methods you can try: 

  • Restart or perform a quick reboot of your internet router 
  • Switch to a stable Wi-Fi connection
  • Move your devices closer to the internet router
  • Disable VPN services from your devices
