However, many users face difficulties— Not all TVs support live streaming via Wi-Fi., and the settings on tablets Huawei may vary depending on model and version EMUI.

In this article we will look at all current wireless connection methods — from standard Miracast to proprietary technologies Huawei Share And Smart ViewYou will find out what protocols supported by your TV, how to set up a tablet for minimal latency when streaming video, and what to do if the connection keeps dropping. We'll pay special attention to common mistakes — for example, why doesn’t the TV see the tablet in the list of available devices or why the sound is transmitted, but the image is not.

If you are using a tablet Huawei MatePad (any series), MediaPad or even outdated models on EMUI 9/10, the instructions below will work with adjustments depending on your firmware version. For TV owners Samsung, LG, Sony Bravia or Xiaomi We will separately indicate the nuances of the settings - for example, where to look for the function Screen Mirroring or Wi-Fi Direct in the TV menu.

1. Check compatibility: Does your TV support wireless streaming?

Before attempting to connect your tablet, make sure your TV is technically capable of receiving a Wi-Fi signalMost modern models (released after 2018) support at least one of the following protocols:

• 📺 Miracast — a wireless broadcasting standard built into Android and many TVs on Android TV (For example, Sony Bravia, Philips (with Android). Works without internet, directly between devices.
• 🖥️ DLNA/UPnP — a protocol for transferring media files (photos, videos, music), but does not broadcast the entire screen. Supported by almost all Smart TVs.
• 🍎 AirPlay - technology Apple, but some TVs (for example, LG With webOS 5.0+ or Samsung 2020+ years) support it for devices on Android via third-party applications.
• 🤝 Huawei Share - proprietary technology Huawei, only works with TVs that support Huawei Cast+ (for example, some models Honor Vision).

To check support Miracast (the most universal way), go to the TV settings:

• On Samsung: Settings → General → External devices → Screen Mirroring.
• On LG: Settings → Connections → Screen Share.
• On Android TV (Sony, Philips, Xiaomi): Settings → Network & Sharing → Miracast or Wireless projection.

⚠️ Attention: If there is no item in the TV menu Screen Mirroring or Miracast, but there is Wi-Fi Direct, it's not the same thing! Wi-Fi Direct It only allows you to share files, but not screen sharing.

If your TV was released before 2016 or belongs to a budget series, most likely it does not support MiracastIn this case, the options remaining are DLNA (for media files only) or purchasing an external adapter (for example, Google Chromecast or Mi TV Stick).

2. Connecting via Miracast: A Universal Method for Android TV

Miracast — the most reliable protocol for screen sharing from a tablet Huawei to the TV if both devices support it. The main advantage is no need to connect to one Wi-Fi network, the connection is established directly.

Instructions for tablets Huawei (for example MatePad 11 With EMUI 13):

1. Open Settings on the tablet.
2. Go to Connections → Huawei Share → Screen Projection (or Wireless projection (on older versions).
3. Enable the option Wireless projection and wait until available devices are searched for.
4. Activate on TV Screen Mirroring (see the paths above depending on the TV brand).
5. Select your TV's name from the list on your tablet. Confirm the connection on both devices.

If the connection is not established:

• 🔄 Restart your tablet and TV.
• 📶 Make sure your tablet is turned on Wi-Fi (even if not connected to the network).
• 🔒 Disable VPNs or firewalls—they may be blocking the connection.

6. Troubleshooting: Why won't my tablet connect to my TV?

If you have followed the instructions but the connection is not established, please check the following:

Problem 1: The TV doesn't see the tablet in the list of devices

• 🔌 Make sure both devices are connected to one Wi-Fi network (For DLNA And Smart View).
• 🔄 Reboot your router - sometimes it blocks multicast packets needed to discover devices.
• 📱 Enable developer mode on your tablet and check if it is disabled Wi-Fi Direct in the settings (Settings → System → Developer options).

Problem 2: The connection is established, but the image lags

• 📶 Switch to frequency 5 GHz in the Wi-Fi settings (if the router supports it).
• 🖼️ Reduce your tablet's screen resolution to 720p (Settings → Display → Screen Resolution).
• 🔋 Disable power saving mode on your tablet.

Problem 3: Sound is transmitted, but the image is not (or vice versa)

• 🔊 Check if the sound on your TV or tablet is muted.

• 🔐 Update the app to the latest version—sometimes the block is removed after an update.

7. Alternative methods: if Wi-Fi doesn't work

If a wireless connection is not possible (for example, due to device incompatibility or Wi-Fi issues), consider alternative options:

1. Connecting via HDMI via an adapter

• Buy an adapter USB-C → HDMI (for tablets Huawei with port USB Type-C).
• Connect the adapter to the tablet and the HDMI cable to the TV.
• On your tablet, select the video transfer mode (Settings → Display → HDMI Mode).

➕ Pros: minimal latency, stable connection.

➖ Cons: an adapter must be purchased (from 1,500 ₽), the tablet must support DisplayPort Alt Mode.

2. Broadcasting via a router with the "Wi-Fi Display" function

• Some routers (eg. ASUS RT-AX88U or TP-Link Archer C5400) support the function Wi-Fi Display, which allows you to broadcast your screen without additional devices.
• Activate the function in the router's web interface and connect to it from your tablet.

3. Using a PC as an intermediary

• Connect your tablet to your computer via USB and use programs like ApowerMirror or TeamViewer to broadcast your screen to TV via PC.
• The downside is additional latency and dependence on computer performance.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about connecting Huawei to a TV

Is it possible to connect an old Huawei tablet (for example, MediaPad T3) to a modern TV?

Yes, but with limitations. Tablets on EMUI 5-8 (For example, MediaPad T3 or MatePad T8) support Miracast, but may not work with Huawei Share or Smart View. Check support Miracast in the TV settings and use this protocol. If the TV does not support Miracast, will have to be used DLNA (for media files only) or an external adapter (e.g. Chromecast).

Why is there no sound when connecting via Miracast?

This is a common issue related to audio output settings. Try:

1. On your tablet, close all applications that use sound (for example, music playing in the background).
2. In the broadcast settings (Settings → Connections → Wireless Projection) select the mode Duplicate screen with sound.
3. Restart your tablet and TV.
4. If you use Bluetooth headphones, turn them off - the sound may go to them instead of the TV.

If the sound still doesn't appear, try a different protocol (for example, DLNA for video or Huawei Share).

How to reduce lag when streaming games?

Latency is inevitable when sharing your screen over Wi-Fi, but it can be minimized by:

• Use a router with support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and connect both devices to the network 5 GHz.
• Reduce your tablet's screen resolution to 720p.
• Close all background applications that consume internet (for example, downloads or streaming).
• For games it is better to use wired connection via HDMI adapter — the delay will be minimal.

Average delay when broadcasting over Miracast: 50-150 ms (noticeable in fast-paced games). This is sufficient for watching movies.

Is it possible to mirror my Huawei screen to a TV without Wi-Fi?

Yes, if you use:

• Miracast — works directly between devices without a router.
• HDMI adapter - physical connection via cable.
• Wi-Fi Direct - Some TVs support direct data exchange, but without screen sharing.

For DLNA And Smart View A shared Wi-Fi network is essential.

Which TVs are best compatible with Huawei tablets?

The best compatibility is provided by:

• Huawei Smart Screen or Honor Vision — support Huawei Share And Miracast without lags.
• Samsung QLED (2019+ years) - work stably with Smart View And DLNA.
• LG OLED With webOS 5.0+ — support Miracast And AirPlay (via third-party applications).
• Android TV (Sony, Philips, Xiaomi) - universal support Miracast And Chromecast.

The worst compatibility is with budget TVs without Smart TV and models older than 2016.
