  • Sajjad 1 year ago Reply Thank you very much!!! This solution works fine. But after typing the command on the terminal and hitting enter there is no need to restart your phone, because after that you should enter the command again (maybe some other service enables the wlan.wfd.hdcp service after every restart and that casuse the problem). Thanks again.
