How to connect Xiaomi phone to Haier TV: all ways + error solving

Why Xiaomi and Haier can’t connect the first time?

Connecting Xiaomi’s smartphone to Haier TV seems like a simple task — until you encounter errors like “Device not found” or “Format not supported.” The problem often lies in the difference in wireless transmission protocols: new Xiaomi models (for example, Redmi Note 12 or Xiaomi 13T) use updated versions of Miracast and Google Cast, while Haier TVs (especially the budget LE32K6600 or LE55B7000 series) can work on outdated drivers. Another pitfall is network settings: if the router distributes Internet in the 5 GHz band, and TV supports only 2.4 synchronization of devices.

In this article, we will discuss 5 working ways of connecting (including wired and wireless), as well as typical errors with solutions. For example, did you know that some Haier models need to manually activate Screen Mirroring mode in the service menu? or that Xiaomi with the version of MIUI 14+ requires additional permission to transfer the screen? These nuances are often missed even in official instructions.

Before you go to the instructions, check two things:

• 🔌 Cable or adapter: If you use a wired connection, make sure that HDMI-cable HDCP 2.2 (otherwise the image will flash or be absent).
• 📶 Network settings: phone and TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network (even if you use a Screen Mirroring cable).

Method 1: Wireless connection via Miracast (Screen Mirroring)

This is the most versatile method, but it requires both devices to support the Miracast protocol. On Xiaomi, it is built into MIUI (since version 9), and on Haier it can be called Screen Mirroring, Wireless Display or DLNA. The main advantage is that there is no delay (unlike Google Cast), which is critical for gaming or watching videos.

How to turn on Haier TV:

1. Press the SOURCE (or INPUT) button on the remote.
2. Select Screen Mirroring (if not, press Menu → Network → Wi-Fi Direct).
3. Activate the connection waiting mode.

How to connect Xiaomi:

1. Open Settings → Connection and Sharing → Screen Transfer.
2. Slip the name of your Haier TV in the list of available devices.
3. Confirm the connection on both screens (entering may be required) PIN-code).

Important: On Haier TVs from 2019 to 2020 (e.g., the LE50G7000 series), Miracast only works when the VPN on your smartphone is disabled, due to the manufacturer’s firmware limitations.

⚠️ Warning: If the image slows after connecting, try lowering the screen resolution on Xiaomi to 720p in the settings Screen Transfer → Quality. It'll reduce the strain on Wi-Fi.

Method 2: Connect via Google Cast (Chromecast built-in)

If your Haier TV is running Android TV (Haier Android TV or Haier Google TV), you can use Google Cast, a technology similar to Miracast but with support for streaming from apps (YouTube, Netflix, etc.), the main difference is that it does not transfer the entire screen, but only content from supported programs.

Instructions:

1. Make sure that the Google Home app is installed on the TV (download from the Play Market if it isn’t).
2. On Xiaomi, open the app you want to stream from (like YouTube).
3. Slip on the Cast icon (usually in the upper right corner) and select your Haier.

If the Cast icon is not active, check:

• 🔄 Update the app on your phone and TV.
• 📡 Restart your router (sometimes changing your Wi-Fi channel from automatic to fixed, such as channel 6 helps).
• 🔒 Turn off the firewall on the router (it can block multicast traffic).

💡

If the broadcast is permanently interrupted, try connecting the phone to the TV via the router's guest network, which will reduce interference from other devices.

Method 3: Wired HDMI connection (for gaming and 4K)

If you want a minimum response time (for example, for cloud gaming via Xiaomi Game Turbo), HDMI is the best choice.

• 📱 Xiaomi smartphones do not have any HDMI-port, so you will need an adapter USB-C → HDMI (Recommended models with DisplayLink chip for stable operation).
• 🖥️ Haier TV must support the entrance HDMI 2.0 permit 4K@60Hz (check in the characteristics of the model).

Step-by-step:

1. Connect the adapter to the USB-C port on Xiaomi.
2. Connect the adapter to the TV through HDMI-cable.
3. On the Haier remote, select the source of the HDMI signal (SOURCE button).
4. On the phone in the notification bar will appear alert “Connected external display” – tap it to adjust the resolution.

Typical problems and solutions:

• 🔴 No image: Try another one. HDMI-port on the TV (some Haier models have a limited HDMI-ARC).
• 🔊 No Sound: In Xiaomi Sound Settings, select Output through HDMI (Settings → Sound. → Sound output).
• 🖼️ Incorrect resolution: manually install 1920×1080 in the settings of the external display.

Method 4: Connect via USB (for media files only)

This is the simplest but most limited method, allowing you to view photos/video from your phone on your TV, but not the screen, and suitable for Haier models without Smart features (for example, Haier LE32B5000).

What you need:

• 🔌 Cable USB-A → USB-C (Micro-USB if you have an older Xiaomi model).
• 📁 Files on your phone should be in supported formats: video — MP4/MKV, photo — JPEG/PNG.

How to connect:

1. Put the cable in. USB-TV port (usually located on the side).
2. On the Haier screen, select the USB source (SOURCE button).
3. The phone will be notified “Connected as a media device” – allow access to files.
4. Use the Haier remote to navigate through your phone folders.

⚠️ Attention: On Haier TVs 2021-2026 USB-The port can be turned off to save energy. To activate it, go to Settings. → General. → Regime. USB → Turn it on.

Method 5: Use of third-party applications (for older models)

If none of the above methods worked, try specialized apps, which are useful for Haier TVs without Miracast or with outdated firmware.

• 📺 ApowerMirror: works over Wi-Fi, supports control from the phone (useful for presentations).
• 🎮 TeamViewer QuickSupport: allows you not only to broadcast the screen, but also remotely control the phone from the TV remote.
• 📱 LocalCast: Streams local files and online videos (including: MKV and AVI).

How to set up ApowerMirror:

1. Install the app on your phone and TV (if Haier doesn’t have Play Market, download the APK from the official website).
2. Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
3. On your phone, run ApowerMirror → Mirror → Select a TV.
4. On TV, confirm the connection.

The advantage of this method is that it works even on TVs from 2015 to 2018, where there is no built-in Miracast, the disadvantage is a possible delay of up to 500 ms and artifacts when moving quickly on the screen.

💡

The app side is the only way to connect Xiaomi to Haier TVs without Smart features (e.g. Haier L32D3000 models).
