If your vivo S50 refuses to mirror its screen to your TV or projector, it can be frustrating. You tap Screen Cast, the device searches, but nothing shows up. In most cases, the problem is related to network settings, compatibility, or temporary wireless glitches.
The good news is that screen mirroring issues are usually easy to fix.
Why Your vivo S50 Screen Mirroring Is Not Working
- The phone and TV are not connected to the same Wi Fi network.
- Wireless Display or Screen Cast is disabled on the TV.
- Bluetooth or Wi Fi is turned off on the phone.
- Temporary system glitches interrupt the wireless connection.
- The TV does not support Miracast or compatible casting protocols.
Restart Both Devices
Wireless connections can fail due to temporary network conflicts. Restarting both devices refreshes the connection and clears minor software hiccups.
Press and hold the Power button, and then tap Restart on your vivo S50.
Turn off your TV, and then unplug it from the power source for 30 seconds.
Turn both devices back on, and try screen mirroring again.
Make Sure Both Devices Are on the Same Wi Fi Network
Screen mirroring depends on both devices being on the same network. If they are connected to different Wi Fi bands, they will not detect each other.
Open Settings, and then tap Wi Fi.
Connect your vivo S50 to your home network, and verify that your TV is using the same network name.
Avoid guest networks, since they often block device discovery.
Enable Screen Cast on vivo S50
If Screen Cast is disabled, your phone will not search for available displays. Turning it on allows the phone to scan for compatible devices.
Open Settings, and then tap Other networks and connections.
Tap Smart Mirroring or Screen Cast, and then toggle it on.
Wait for the device list to populate, and select your TV.
Enable Mirroring on Your TV
Some smart TVs require you to manually enable screen mirroring. If the TV is not in casting mode, your phone cannot connect.
Open your TV settings, and then locate Screen Mirroring or Wireless Display.
Enable the feature, and keep the screen open while your phone searches.
Once detected, tap the TV name on your vivo S50 to connect.
Turn Off VPN or Battery Saver
VPN services and battery saver modes can block wireless display services. Disabling them ensures the casting connection is not restricted.
Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
Turn off Power saving mode, and disconnect any active VPN in Network settings.
Try connecting again after disabling these features.
Reset Network Settings
If screen mirroring still fails, resetting your network settings can resolve deeper connection conflicts. This restores Wi Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile network settings to default.
Open Settings, and then tap System management.
Tap Reset, and then choose Reset network settings.
Confirm the reset, reconnect to Wi Fi, and test screen mirroring again.
Screen mirroring on the vivo S50 should work smoothly once both devices are properly configured and on the same network. Most issues are caused by simple connection mismatches, not hardware faults.
