Hi @l0neli_m0nki

Welcome to the community.

Under what kind of circumstances does it drop out? Just intermittently, when you are using a particular app, when the screen goes to sleep? Any further info can help.

This function worked well days ago until yesterday the TV screen began to lag and drop frames very often just like it has a very poor downlink connection , finnaly it disconnected after that I cant screen mirror any more. Immediately I tried my another phone , it can screen mirror without problems .

Just now , I have restarted the router two times , every time I can screen mirror to TV for the first attempt , and for the rest it fails saying that '.... device is not ready or does not support HDCP ' , meanwhile the TV screen showing a full black screen with the title 'xperia z5 premium_xxx screen mirroring' and in less than 1 second the TV turns back to the normal state (obviously , the phone connected to the TV and immediately it disconnected ).

After I browse this forum , I doubt that this is an error inherit from the early xperia devices .

Any ideas ?

What happens if you restart the phone into safe mode?

In that case try a software repair on the handset.

Here's how to run the repair on PC Companion:

Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
Phone Software Update.
Start.
Repair Phone
Continue
Accept data removal
Next
Wait for prepare
Select Phone
Follow the connection steps

And Bridge for Mac:

Launch Bridge for MAC without the handset connected.
On the Main Window select "Xperia > Repair Xperia Device".
Ensure the phone is charged and select "Ok" in the following window.
Select Continue on the following page.
Wait until the initialising step is finished the continue as below.

6 . Select your model of phone from the list that appears

Follow the connection steps that appear, ensuring that you are holding the relevant button down before during and after the connection phase until the update/repair begins.

You will want to start these processes with the phone powered off and disconnected from the PC.

After I repair my phone , will it erase my data ?

You will want to back everything us before running the repair. Here are some options on how to do that: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/Backup-amp-Transfer/m-p/407253#U407253

Lastly , I would rather flash a fresh firmware using flashtool without wiping data . Additionally , I would tell you that my xperia Z(c6602) occasionally comes out the HDCP error , everytime when I re-flash the firmware using XZDualRecovery without wiping data , most time it fixs this error and everything stay still in the phone . For now , there is no recovery for the locked bootloader on z5 , so I will try to re-flash it using the flashtool .

And I am disappointed to see the HDCP error comes out from the original Z device to the latest Z5 devices .

I'm not really going to be able to advise.

@uliwooly any suggestions?

Have you also tried to update the firmware in your TV? Some TV-models needs a firmware update to work with screen mirroring and a phone using Lollipop.

sorry for such a long time to come back , yesterday I tried to screen mirror to a WIDI supported device , I can screen mirror the stock video app and music app content to the widi device , but when I launched any 3rd-party apps , the screen mirror connection turned off and the z5p telling me that "the output device does not support HDCP........."

Re: issue with screen mirroring function

Did you try my suggestion about updating the firmware in your Bravia TV?

Are you sure that the WIDI device you tested with supports HDCP?

Also note that if you have unlocked the phones bootloader this will cause HDCP to not work.
