no unfortunately I have a regular 55 in hdtv made by Element . it's truly a piece of junk idk how they sell flat screens in 2017 at Walmart that does nothing except for play a image. on top of that you need WIFI to screen cast. I could of sworn I stated I didn't have wifi in the thread

YOU DON'T NEED WIFI to Miracast, just gotta have WiFi turned on the device and an HDMI Miracast adapter (unless you are using a smart TV, which has Miracast built-in)
. And Yes, I use ZTE devices too..
 
I presume the OP has no WIFI in their device too. Lots of people just use your data plan now for everything. No WIFI necessary.

I didn't know you need wifi to cast though. Hmmm. What about BT? But I know you are asking about USB. Doesn't it have to be OTG ready to do that? Coz this phone has no OTG.
 
Every android's internal wifi module does an ethernet loop.

So if he uses stock hotspot just to cast screen to a chromecast then device will use data and screen will show without data usage.

That is what I am thinking about using. I don't have any wifi capabilities. Thanks.

That's expensive for a MiraCast adapter.. Should only have to pay about $10-15 for one that'll work on all 3 PC, iOS &amp; Android and works quite well. You can always try if running stock but it's almost a guaranteed capability when running Custom ROMs
 
Do you happen to have a link for a cheaper one? That's the cheapest I found with a quick Amazon search to work without WiFi.
