Connecting Xiaomi Phone to Haier TV via Wi-Fi: 3 Working Ways and Problem Solving

Why Xiaomi’s Wireless Connection to Haier Is the Best Choice in 2026

Wirelessly streaming a screen from Xiaomi to a Haier TV over Wi-Fi eliminates the confusion of wires and distance restrictions. HDMI-adapter USB-This method allows you to move freely around the room without losing connection, and supports most modern models - from the budget Redmi Note 12 to the flagship Xiaomi 14 Ultra. If Miracast has a minimum latency (ideal for gaming) DLNA easier to set up, but limited to media playback.

The main pitfall is protocol compatibility. Haier TVs (especially models from 2020-2023 on the Android TV platform or Google TV) usually support Wi-Fi Direct and Miracast, but can “capitalize” with DLNA due to proprietary shells. For example, the Haier LE65N9000 lineup requires a mandatory manual Wireless Display mode for stable broadcast. In this article, we will discuss the unique settings for the Xiaomi + Haier pair, which manufacturers often do not mention in official instructions.

Method 1: Wi-Fi Direct – Simple connection without a router

Wi-Fi Direct creates a direct connection between your phone and your TV, bypassing your router. This is true if your Haier is not connected to your home network or you want to save traffic. The method works on all Xiaomi smartphones with MIUI 12 and later, but requires that the TV support the Screen Mirroring feature (in the Haier menu it can be called Phone Screen or Wireless Display).

Connection algorithm:

• 📱 On Xiaomi phone, open Settings → Connection and sharing → Wireless display (in older versions) MIUI — More. → Screen transmission).
• 📺 On Haier TV, go to Settings → Network → Wi-Fi Direct or Sources → Screen Mirroring (exact name depends on model).
• 🔄 In the list of available devices on your phone, select the name of your TV (for example, Haier_LED55K6600G). Confirm the connection on both devices.
• 🎮 After connecting, the smartphone screen will be duplicated on TV. To exit, click “Disable” in the Xiaomi notification panel.

⚠️ Note: If the TV is not listed, check if it is on Detection mode (in some Haier models, it turns off after 2 minutes of inactivity). Also make sure that the phone activates Developer Mode and the Wi-Fi Debugging option is enabled (path: Settings) → The phone. → Version. MIUI — Press 7 times, then return to the Additional Settings → Developer parameters).

Method 2: Miracast – Minimum latency for games and videos

Miracast is a wireless screen broadcast standard that delivers less than 50ms latency (critical for streaming games or watching sports). Unlike Wi-Fi Direct, it requires protocol support on both devices. Most Haier TVs on Android TV 9.0+ (such as the N7000 or K6000 series) are out-of-the-box compatible with Miracast, and Xiaomi smartphones support it starting with MIUI 10.

Step-by-step:

1. On Haier TV, go to Settings → Devices → Wireless Display (or Screen → Mirroring) and turn on the option.
2. On Xiaomi phone, open Settings → Screen → Transfer to the screen (in new versions of MIUI – Connection and Sharing → Wireless display).
3. Select your TV from the list. If you have a request for code confirmation, enter it from the TV screen.
4. To optimize quality: In Miracast settings on your phone, set a resolution of 1080p and a frequency of 60Hz (if the TV supports).

⚠️ Note: When using Miracast on Xiaomi with AMOLED-screens (such as Xiaomi 13 Pro) may experience "swiping" due to adaptive refresh rates. To fix this, turn off the Adaptive refresh rate function in the smartphone display settings.

💡

If the image on the TV is cropped, on the Xiaomi phone in the Miracast settings, select the "Fix under the screen" mode instead of "Save proportions".

Method 3: DLNA – broadcast media files without screen duplication

If you don't have to duplicate the entire screen, but you just need to stream photos, videos or music, DLNA will work. It works over a local network, so the phone and TV must be connected to the same router, the main advantage is the low battery load of the smartphone and support for MKV, FLAC and DTS formats (if the Haier TV decodes them).

How to set up:

• 🌐 Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
• 📱 On Xiaomi phone, open the Files app, select the media file and click Share» → «Tv on the air».
• 📺 On the Haier TV, run the Media Player app or DLNA-Browser (in some models called SmartShare).
• 🔍 In the list of devices, select your smartphone (for example, Redmi_Note_11) and confirm the transmission.

⚠️ Note: On Haier TVs with LifeOS shell (e.g. Haier models) LE50B6500) DLNA You may not work with the standard file application from Xiaomi. In this case, use third-party programs such as BubbleUPnP or LocalCast that support forced transmission over the Internet. DLNA.

Common mistakes and their solutions

Even if you set up the connection correctly, it can be interrupted or unstable, and here are the typical problems and ways to fix them:

• 🔌 No TV detectable: Restart both devices. On Xiaomi, turn on Flight Mode for 10 seconds, then turn off. Check if the connection is blocked by an antivirus (e.g., Avast or 360 Security).
• 🎵 No audio when broadcasting: In Miracast settings on your phone, select Transmit audio to TV. If you use Bluetooth headphones, turn them off, the sound will only go to one device. On Haier TV, check if the sound in the Settings menu is turned off. → Sound. → Exit HDMI/ARC.
• 📶 Lags and slowdowns: Reduce broadcast resolution to 720p Turn off background apps on your phone (especially instant messengers and streaming services) if you use a router, switch it to 5 GHz (less interference).

⚠️ Note: On Haier TVs with MStar processors (e.g. Haier models) LE32B5600) If you stream long-term through Miracast, you can have a rip artifact, which is a hardware feature of the chipset, and the solution is to limit the connection session to 30 minutes or use an alternative method).

Optimization of broadcast quality: hidden settings

To make the picture on the TV Haier was clear, and the sound – synchronous, use these tips:

• 🔧 For Miracast: In the developer settings on Xiaomi, set Disable hardware overlays (reduces lags). Activate Forced GPU-rendering for smooth animation.
• 📊 For Wi-Fi Direct: From the menu of the Haier TV, select Image Settings → Game mode (reduces latency). Turn off energy saving mode on your phone (Settings) → Battery → Performance mode).
• 🎬 For DLNA: Use the Plex or Kodi app to transcode files on the fly (if the TV doesn't support the format (IGMP) stable-transmission.

💡 Useful life hack: if you broadcast video through DLNA Haier TV “hangs” on files with high bitrate, pre-short it through the app MX Player (Video Compression Option) Optimal bitrate for Full HD — 8-12 Mbps.

💡

For maximum stability, use a router that supports the Wi-Fi 6 standard (802.11ax) – it reduces broadcast delays by 40% compared to Wi-Fi 5.

Alternative methods: when Wi-Fi is not working

If wireless connectivity is not possible (for example, due to protocol incompatibility), consider these options:

• 🔌 HDMI-Adapter: For Xiaomi with a port USB-C adapter USB-C to HDMI (For example, Baseus 4K). For older models with Micro-USB, you need to MHL-Adapter (check compatibility with your Haier model).
• 📶 Google Cast (Chromecast): If the TV supports Google TV, Use the built-in Chromecast. On Xiaomi, install the Google Home app and select the option “Screen Translation».
• 🖥️ Wired connection to USB: Some Haier models (e.g. Haier) LE43K6600) support USB-OTG You can play media files. Connect your phone with a cable. USB-C/USB-A and select the File Transfer Mode.

⚠️ Attention: When in use HDMI-Adapter on Xiaomi smartphones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor (for example, Xiaomi 13) may need to enable the debugging option HDMI In the developer settings, otherwise the image will flash.
