CASTING

I have a Samsung T.V.  My previous smartphone was also Samsung. Never had any problems casting from phone to the t.v.  Recently changed phones to Motorola's Ace and can no longer cast Why?

That's probably because you were previously using Samsung Smartview which is similar to casting, but not really the same thing.

Smartview only works when you are going Samsung to Samsung.  Now that you are going Motorola to Samsung, it won't work.

You will need to add a Chromecast device to your Samsung TV so you can use Google's casting technology that works on your Motorola phone.
