Screen mirroring lets you display your phone’s screen on a smart TV, wireless display, or streaming device. If your OnePlus 13 fails to mirror properly, the connection may not start, the device may not appear in the list, or the connection may drop shortly after pairing.
Most of the time, this happens because of network issues, compatibility problems, or disabled casting features. The fixes below can help restore screen mirroring quickly.
Why Screen Mirroring Is Not Working on Your OnePlus 13
- The phone and the TV are not connected to the same Wi-Fi network
- Wireless display or casting is disabled on the receiving device
- Temporary software glitches interrupt the casting service
- Network restrictions prevent the devices from discovering each other
- Outdated software causes compatibility issues
1. Make Sure Both Devices Are on the Same Wi-Fi Network
Screen mirroring relies on your local network to find nearby devices. If the phone and the TV are connected to different Wi-Fi networks, the casting feature will not detect the display.
- Open Settings, and then tap Wi-Fi.
- Select your active network, and then confirm your TV is connected to the same one.
Once both devices share the same network, try screen mirroring again.
2. Enable Screen Casting on Your OnePlus 13
The casting feature must be enabled before your phone can search for compatible displays. If the option is disabled, your device will not detect any nearby screens.
- Open Settings, and then tap Connection & sharing.
- Tap Screen Cast, and then toggle the feature on.
Your phone will begin scanning for available devices nearby.
3. Enable Screen Mirroring on the TV or Display
Many smart TVs require screen mirroring to be enabled before other devices can connect. If the receiving device is not ready to accept connections, your phone will not find it.
- Open the TV settings menu, and then go to Network settings.
- Tap Screen Mirroring or Cast mode, and then enable it.
Once enabled, return to your phone and scan for the display again.
4. Restart Both Devices
Temporary software glitches can interfere with wireless connections. Restarting both devices refreshes their wireless services and clears minor system bugs.
- Press and hold the Power key, and then tap Restart.
- Wait for the phone to reboot, and then restart your TV as well.
After both devices restart, try reconnecting the screen mirroring feature.
5. Reset Network Settings
If screen mirroring still fails, your network configuration may be causing discovery issues. Resetting network settings restores Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and connection settings to their defaults.
- Open Settings, and then tap System & updates.
- Tap Reset phone, and then select Reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Reconnect to your Wi-Fi network and try casting again.
Screen mirroring should work smoothly once your phone and display are properly connected. After enabling the correct settings and refreshing your network connection, your OnePlus 13 should detect nearby devices and mirror your screen without interruption.
FAQs
Why can’t my OnePlus 13 find my TV during screen mirroring?
Your phone and TV may be connected to different Wi-Fi networks. Both devices must be on the same network for wireless casting to work.
Does my TV need to support Miracast for screen mirroring?
Yes. Many Android phones rely on Miracast technology. If your TV does not support it, you may need a compatible streaming device.
Why does screen mirroring keep disconnecting?
Weak Wi-Fi signals or network congestion can interrupt the connection. Moving closer to the router or restarting your network devices usually helps stabilize the connection.
