[APP] Samsung Smart view Dual View

[APP] Samsung Smart view Dual View - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I will not be monitoring this thread, I have a T-Mobile T999 but wanted to share this with the SGS3 community at large. Feel free to post results, and any additional mods (ie. Getting it to work with ASOP Rom's) in my original thread
For some reason, beyond my comprehension, Samsung have this great app, but have yet to open it up to the SGS3. I have been resorting to downloading it and installing it on my HTC HD2 (Running CM9) backing it up with Titanium, and then copying the backup over to my SGS3, and restoring the backup. A bit round about, but works.
The App, for those that don't know, allows you, with a Samsung high-end TV or BR-Player, use the app to not only as a remote, but as a second mirrored screen, with audio. Great for trips to the kitchen, bathroom, outside, or in another room (although range is limited by your router).
[Supported TV Models]

[Supported Phone]
While technically only SGS2, it works with SGS3 stock rooted rom, but should work on most with a stock base. It will not work on CM9/10 and ASOP ROM's but you could give it a try and let me know.
Here is the actual app, I extracted it from my Titanium backup figuring someone could use it until Samsung get around to updating the Market to let you just download it. The only thing I can't get to work is Bluetooth power on. I can pair with my TV, but it just doesn't show up until I have turned it on. I also had an issue with it working over the the 5Ghz 802.11n band, but with 3.1.9 that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.
Version 3.1.9 - 39MB - Confirmed Working for me with 2011 PDP51D8000 Model
Version 3.2.0 - 40MB - Also Confirmed working

3.Connect your phone to wireless/wired router.

A member over at AVS Forum shared this app with me since its not downloadable yet.I can vouch that it works.I have a Galaxy S3 and a 60PNE7000. It's a great way to control the smart hub function of the tv especially the web browser part which is A's real pita to control with the tv remote. There is also a cool multi display feature that will show whatever is on the tv onto the phone.

What about the 3.2.1 version? Can anyone share it?

Thanks, i didnt even know such an app exists

Anyone? I cannot download it with the sgs3, but could be done with a sgs2. Please share the 3.2.1 version.

Hello,
I have an issue with the App. I can´t see, what there stands. The Display always turns on and off.
I´m using Omega v34.
Edit: I´ve connected it with TV. It is working fine. But the Display turn on and off issue still exists.

App is working with Omega v34. But for me only the remote control and the gaming control.
NO dual view and the other stuff. My TV is UE46C7700.
Screen off and on issue is after device reboot gone.

I can no longer access the new file on my old HD2, it no longer shows up. Tehrefore I can't post 3.2.1 but the viersions here work, and nothing major in 3.2.1 that would require an update and if you look online, it says nothing new. So while 3.2.1 may be nice to upgrade too, I can't see any requirement to do so, if the version you have works.
Just read teh comments on the 3.2.1 version of the app, looks like 3.2.1 doesn't work more than it works. Numerous comments about it breaking dual view, or issues with Flicker. So if 3.2.0 or 3.1.9 work for you, then stay with them
Dual View is only guarenteed to work on Samsung TouchWiz based ROM's. I have it working on both my GIII (Now ith Jelly Bean) and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Custom ROM's may not include all the components that are required to make this work. I doubt anything in 3.2.1 will change this, and make it work for some who aren't working now. Both the TV and the phone have to be compatible or you just get a very large file for a remote control.
Also in the main thread, see link in OP, there is an even earlier version for those to try who are having problems...

works great
bluetooth power on : (selected model tv only.. 7000 and 8000 series have this. others , wouldnt know)
first start app you would turn off bluetooth and wifi and let the app complain about the missing radio and quit app (clean memory in taskmanager to be sure)
now pair your tv > within 50cm reach of the TV (security feature)
turn off bluetooth
start app and wait for it to nag about missing bluetooth. turn on bluetooth with the prog and see in the popup if your tv is listed as paired. if not do the pairing again. (it needs a few tries sometimes) press back and now see if it shows your tv and press bluetooth power on icon and wait for the tv to respond and after that to connect to wifi and connect to your phone.. takes about 40 secs or so.
3.20 works best for s3 i9300 on stock rom
app requires DRM , decryption service and samsung movieplayer and offcourse a samsung build.prop
3.21 porting to s3 > not so easy, you may want to read a little more about the crappiness of it.
edit: using version 3.20 still works great with 4.1.2 luxemburg stock rom rooted with CMW philz touch, modded bootloader, led-mod and signed multiwindowmod, apex 2.4 pro launcher. BT power-on works. in multi-window with other app works. if u dont see controls in fullscreen turn off gesture control and or taskbar hiding or just press where the button supposed to be normally. version 3.22 from market doesnt work, only remotecontrol.

working on perfect on 4.1.2

I am paired but still doesn't show up to power on.

I have the 2011 PDP51D8000 Model TV, and have looked at all menu options, but still can't seem to get power on to work. Not a big deal, would be nice, but I can live without it. Just glad Dual view works flawlessly on both my SGS3 and Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Finally!
I've been looking a long time to get my remote back. Thanks a lot for this!
I can also confirm that this app works fine with Samsungs C8705.

Too bad i got a UE37ES5500 TV and it doesn't support this option.

It works on Galaxy S5
Tested and Working perfectly on Galaxy S5

Can't fint TV.
This app can't find my TV (C8705) any more and I'm using a Nexus 4 with Lollipop. I think it stopped working before I got Lollipop but I'm not sure. I've set a DMZ between my device and TV in my firewall, so that can not be the problem.
Any ideas?

[APP] Samsung Smart view Dual View

It is a non-Supported TV, and there is no way to make it magically support this technology. The only way to get it to work is to sell your TV and buy a supported model. I included the supported hardware list in my post, and as 40D6000 I believe is a 2011 LCD TV, it just wont work, ever as it isn't an LED above 7000 or plasma 8000 model. This is a limitation of your TV hardware, and nothing the app or your phone are able to change. Samsung chose not to include the hardware/software in lesser model TV's, to support this function, and for 2011 TV's you can't upgrade the hardware.
You are not alone, there are many 1 star reviews on Google play because the app doesn't support all TV's. Although to give it 1 Star because the TV isn't supported is quite unfair to the app, especially when it clearly states in the description that the TV is not supported.
This app will only work with supported TV's and certain BR Devices. Unless you have a supported device, tehr is no way to make it work. The description in the first post clearly lays out the requirements.

thnx so very much for sharing this
works on my Samsung S3 32gb international android 4.04 phone with UExxES8000 1018.1 firmware
version 3.20 works fine over 56mbit wifi and 5ghz wifi and bluetooth power-on works too (hold phone closer then 1 meter from the TV and pair from the phone after starting the smartview app. it will tell you to turn on bluetooth and pair TV, which is the right moment to do so)

No issues
App operates without flaws:
App version 3.2.0
Galaxy Note 2, jelly bean 4.1.1, T-Mobile
Tv model: un46d8000, samsung
Both stock, not rooted
Bt operation also works

I've determined the app works flawlessly as long as I am a running a touchwiz variant rom. If I use any Originaly ROM (AOKP or CM) it doesn't work properly. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue?

come on..read the op, it's barely a few.posts up.

I installed 3.2.0 on my SGS3 running CM10 11/25. It so far as a remote has been working perfectly. I have not yet tested bluetooth or dual view capabilities yet, however so far it's been awesome.
My TV is a Samsung UN46ES7100.

Hi guy;
Thank you for sharing but impossible to install 4.01 version in Galaxy SII...
And the size is lower than the previous version but in Google play it's more than 40mo !! Strange...
If you can verify that ?

Samsung smart view app working with Note 3
Hi, this is the video I found that shows how to get the smartview app working on the Note 3:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXzaT_N6tuw

[Q] Display Settings - Wireless Display - What works? [SOLVED]

For Nexus 7 (2013) owners:
Lets discuss <any> working methods for using Display Settings, Wireless Display, on Android 4.3+ with Nexus 7 (2013).
1) I want to explore what happens when Wireless display is turned on - and what it takes for wireless displays to be found.
Fine if you use Google Chromecast, or any other devices as wireless displays.
2) What types of data can be pushed/streamed by "wireless display" - e.g. video, audio, VNC, RDA, files, etc?
You get the idea.

Good info. Thanks
I *assume* the feature does *something* in Android 4.3+, and maybe *something* specifically on the Nexus 7 (2013).
Of course this assumption might be wrong, e.g. I'm not sure what Wi-Fi, three dots menu, Wi-Fi Direct accomplishes either. LOL
So please inform us if anyone has knowledge of what happens with Wireless Display turned on, or how to make it work.

I'm assuming it's for Miracast. I don't have any Miracast receivers though.

I was hoping it would work with my Apple TV but when I switch on wireless display, it finds nothing.

You are likely correct. I just found this article with some info:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast
The Wi-Fi Alliance maintains a current list of Miracast-certified devices, both source devices and display devices. The technology and certification is fairly new with the first devices being certified in September 2012. As of January 19, 2013, only just over 100 devices in total were certified.
Nvidia announced support for it in their Tegra 3 platform,[8] and Freescale Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, Marvell Technology Group and other chip vendors have also announced their plans to support it.[9] Support for Miracast was added to Android in version 4.2 on October 29, 2012.
Both devices (the sender and the receiver) need to be Miracast certified for the technology to work. However, to stream music and movies to a non-certified device there will be Miracast adapters available that plug into HDMI or USB ports.[10]
On 29 October 2012, Google announced that Android version 4.2 (updated version of Jelly Bean) will support the Miracast wireless display standard, and by default will have integrated features for it.[11] As of January 8, 2013, the LG Nexus 4 and Sony's Xperia Z, ZL, T and V officially support the function,[12][13] as does HTC One and Samsung in its Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II under the moniker AllShare Cast. The Galaxy S4 uses Samsung Link for its implementation.[14]
Microsoft also added support for Miracast in Windows 8.1, and announced this in June 2013. This functionality first became available in the Windows 8.1 Preview, and is available on hardware with supported Miracast drivers from hardware (GPU) manufacturers such as those listed above.

PSA: Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 do not support Miracast wireless display
There’s been an ongoing discussion over on Google’s mobile support forum and after much debate, a Googler took the time to weigh in on the issue confirming:
Just wanted to confirm that Nexus 4 is currently our only Nexus device that works with Miracast wireless display on Android 4.2. There was a reference to wireless display on our Help site for Nexus 10, but we’ve since removed that reference. Our apologies for any confusion that may have caused.

LG Optimus G (Android 4.0.4 or above)
Google Nexus 4 (Android 4.2.1)
Sony Xperia (various models with Android 4.0.4 or above)
Enhancements & Bug Fixes:
Preliminary support for WiDi Gen4 low latency mode. A new option should appear in the WiDi application for prioritizing speed over quality. The “AVSYNC” uboot variable also has new functionality, though it is still currently set to “1”. Change customer_pre_script.sh appropriately if you would like to change the default behavior.
NOTE-1: AVSYNC automatically changes from 1 to 2 when entering “low delay” mode in WiDi, and similarly from 2 to 1 when exiting “low delay” mode.
NOTE-2: Audio is currently not working in low delay mode.
AVSYNC = 0: Disabled.
AVSYNC = 1: Video FW uses Audio PTS for AV sync operation
AVSYNC = 2: Video FW uses STC, System Clock, (ignore audio and decode as fast as possible) for AV sync operation.
AVSYNC = 3: Combined mode. AVSYNC = 1 for DECODER_LATENCY > 75, AVSYNC = 2 in the rest of cases.
Nexus4 Android 4.2.2 compatibility issue – Fixed a rare connection issue related to RTSP.
Improved low power usage for EU region, by suspending to DDR. DC power usage was measured at 290mW. With a 70% efficient A/C adapter it should be around 440mW.
Fixed incorrect setting of decoder latency which was causing video to be early by a couple frames (A/V Sync issue).
Known Issues:
Audio does not work with WiDi 4.x Low Delay mode.
Samsung S3 occasionally does not connect. We are working with QCA on the issue. It appears to be a WiFi driver/firmware bug.
Nexus4 streaming issues:
Phone stops sending data abruptly while streaming high definition video. Air sniffer captures show phone stops sending video packets and goes back to scanning. As result dongle waits for at least 10 seconds for the phone to respond and goes back to ready screen if the phone does not respond.
Samsung Galaxy S3 4.1.1 phone bugs:
Connection will fail if this is done: Start Allshare cast app on phone. Lock the screen and let the phone be idle for 10 minutes. Unlock the screen. Remedy: Toggle WiFi switch on phone settings.
Connection halts after playing a video from Video Player application.
Sony Experia Tsubasa (version 7.0.A.3.185) the mirrored video does not show up until there is activity on the handset screen. Fixed in 9.0.D.1.126.
[Intel] Win8 WiDi 3.5.40.0 application hangs sometimes on reconnection, requiring a laptop re-boot..
Installation Procedure
Push and hold the WPS button on the side of the PTV3000 unit for more than 5 seconds.
PTV3000 goes into firmware update mode. Firmware update procedure shows up on TV screen (also shown below on steps 3 to 7).
Use your PC or mobile device to navigate to http://support.netgear.com/product/PTV3000 to check for and download the latest firmware.
Once you have downloaded the latest firmware zip file, please unzip it and locate the ".sbin" file that it contains.
Using the wireless network manager utility on your device, search for "Push2TV" wireless network name (SSID) and connect.
Open a web browser on your device and type http://192.168.3.1 into the URL bar of the browser.
Follow the steps on the web page to upload the firmware image and complete the installation.

Working Device (Netgear Push2TV PTV3000)
Found a working device. The Netgear Push2TV PTV3000.
Plug the PTV3000 into a mini-USB 5v for power. Connect the HDMI to a TV or monitor. The device displays waiting status.
In new Nexus 7 (2013) go to Settings, Display, Wireless Display. Turn on. Press SEARCH FOR DISPLAYS.
The Push2TV <serial #>-PTV3000 appears in the list of Available Devices. A few seconds after selecting the device the projector shows the entire Nexus 7 (2013) display on the TV or monitor screen.
Note: I took the PTV3000 out of the box and did not apply any firmware updates (yet).
I have lots more questions and things to test. My initial questions are:
1) How does it work with portrait and landscape orientation?
2) Does sound get broadcast to the TV or monitor?
3) Since it works on new Nexus 7 (2013) will it also work on 1st generation Nexus 7 (Android 4.2.1 through 4.3)?
4) How do movies look on the TV?
5) Verify this really Miracast, or is there a second mode on PTV3000?
6) What is the firmware level on PTV3000?
I don't have time to do further tests now. But, ask if you have further questions I can test.
Thanks for the suggestions and help so far... especially gksmithlcw

I tested with this over the weekend and it worked like a dream.

I beg to differ on the PTV 3000
I find it to be useless. It projects an image in the middle of the screen. You could never really watch a movie or anything due to the black bars on the sides. It also does not pass through DTS or Dolby Digital Surround Sound. You are far better off using a media server app like BubbleUPNP to stream media. This is just a little toy. It is light years from being serviceable.

hi dudes,
i tried widi with new n7 with mk808b android tv stick. it hassame problem like the n4.
Nexus4 streaming issues:
Phone stops sending data abruptly while streaming high definition video. Air sniffer captures show phone stops sending video packets and goes back to scanning. As result dongle waits for at least 10 seconds for the phone to respond and goes back to ready screen if the phone does not respond.
but with bubbleupnp n7 works well to stream movie, pics or music. so with kitkat widi dosent work. maybe with another kernel and rom??

Good info. Thanks
I *assume* the feature does *something* in Android 4.3+, and maybe *something* specifically on the Nexus 7 (2013).
Of course this assumption might be wrong, e.g. I'm not sure what Wi-Fi, three dots menu, Wi-Fi Direct accomplishes either. LOL
So please inform us if anyone has knowledge of what happens with Wireless Display turned on, or how to make it work.

It scans for Miracast supported device whenit's turn on. If you have a Miracast device connected to the same network, it will show up and you can display your whole screen on the reciever.
Miracast is not Apple's AirPlay and they are totally different. Although they do similar things.
It's also not DLNA. Most of the time files are being sent through DLNA, so you cant see your contacts, messages, homescreen etc. through DLNA. Miracast send your screen feed to the TV.
Miracast need a Miracast sender and reciever to work just like DLNA needs a DLNA server and reciever and AirPlay needs a server and reciever too.
My Nexus 7 (2013) has Wireless Display (I think its Miracast) since 4.3. I think it will work if you have a reciever. I tried it before with Note 2 to my friend's TV which have Miracast support.(I never try it with N7 before because I dont have a reciever). AOSP have support for Miracast as sender since 4.3 (I think)
You need a very fast network to stream smoothly.
The display will change orientation when you rotate your device.
BubbleUPNP is a using DLNA not Miracast.
Miracast still can't work properly in real life.
ALL OF THIS IS ONLY MY THOUGHTS. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG

Does anyone else have issues with N7 2013 filling up the screen when connected via miracast? My moto x and N5 fill the screen just fine but the N7 is cropped around the edges.

this device has been working great for me, picked mine up at Wlally-World.
http://www.actiontec.com/303.html#soft

I am also trying to figure out how the miracast feature works or supposed to work with our Nexus 7 2013 model- 5.02 lollipop.
1)My miracast enabled tv (lg model) detects the device.
2)Under cast screen tab in notification panel, tv is not detected but if you enter the more settings options then lg tv is then detected.
3)trying to connect (either from tv menu or nexus menu) results in notification that there is an invitation for connection, then authentication and when the tv shows "miracast is waiting for connection" my nexus stop detecting the lg tv for a few seconds then shows up again but no connection is established. If i insist a couple of times to connect then nexus wifi despite being connected to my home network it cannot connect to the internet.
If someone has an update from miracast feature please post.
cheers

Just ordered Miracast + AirPlay dongle

UPDATED WITH REVIEW:
In-depth review below, will update in a few days to cover DLNA support and revisit Miracast experience while at home (currently discussing the experience at a university)
The PTV Miracast adapter works as advertised, but isn’t perfect. Miracast functionality works like a charm, but with the same slight delay in most other adapters out there. AirPlay is listed as a feature, but don’t expect it to work. Upon opening the package, I was greeted with a matte black, rubbery dongle that was slightly larger than a USB thumb-drive. Under the cap is the HDMI plug, on the other end are two micro USB ports -- one for power and one to connect a storage drive. On one side of the USB end is a tiny button that doesn’t clearly indicate it’s purpose, but is meant to switch between Miracast connectivity and AirFun mode (see below).
Using this adapter isn’t as intuitive as I would like it to be, but it does work. When you initially plug the device into the HDMI port of the TV and USB power, you’re greeted with the AirFun screen, which is green and black. This screen displays the dongle’s IP address, a url containing the IP address and ending with “/remote,” and what network it’s connecting to. When no network is available, it turns itself into it’s own wireless network to allow you to connect. Visiting http://ipaddress/remote takes you to a web-based remote for the dongle to set it up and control the DLNA features of the device. When connecting to this address from an Android device, it prompts you to download the app for this same control. The app is called AirFun and CORRECTION: is in the Play Store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.realtek.airfun.client. The app appears to be stored on the dongle itself also. Don't worry much about this app after you've adjusted the settings to your liking. Use another DLNA app for your media, MirrorOP if you wish to take advantage of that, and wait on AirPlay.
Connecting the dongle to wifi is easy, but the first step isn’t apparent. You must first connect your phone or tablet to the wifi hotspot the dongle creates. At this time, you will not have an internet connection and will only be able to connect to the Miracast dongle. The next step is to go to the url containing the ip address that is displayed on your TV or use the app to connect to the device. In the settings, you can choose the wireless network you want to use and enter the password. Once this is completed, the Miracast adapter will disconnect it’s own hotspot, disconnect your phone or tablet from the device, and connect to the wireless network you chose. At this point, you should connect to the same wireless network in order to pair with the device again.
I must share a mistake I had made in hopes of those reading this can learn from it. Do not, under any circumstances, connect to an open wireless network in which you need to visit a web browser to sign in or click and accept button. The Miracast adapter can’t choose to accept a license or enter login information. I did this at the university I work for and found that I could no longer access the dongle for anything relying on wifi, including accessing the settings. I had attempted to disconnect and reconnect, reset, unplug and plug in again the device. As I had already set it to connect to the wifi that requires authentication in a browser, it automatically connected to it every time. I was forced to bring this in a location in which that wireless network was unaccessible so that I could connect directly to the device’s own hotspot and connect it to another network.
Once the wireless connection has been connected to both the PTV dongle and your phone or tablet, you can begin using MirrorOP, DLNA, or AirPlay. Please note that Miracast is connected using different steps which I will discuss later. No wireless connection is needed for Miracast and if this is the sole purpose of using this device, you can ignore the steps above and continue to the section specifically about Miracast. After connecting to wifi, I tested MirrorOP and found that connecting to this worked without issue. The screen mirrored as any other MirrorOP connection does. MirrorOP is an AirPlay-like connection except that it requires a rooted Android device or jailbroken iOS device to connect. It mirrors the screen like AirPlay to a device on the same wireless network. The MirrorOP app needs to be installed on your device to make the connection. Though screen mirroring works, MirrorOP does not support audio mirroring -- the audio will continue to play through your phone or tablet.
Connecting to AirPlay was very disappointing. I attempted to connect to AirPlay both at the university I work at and at home using an iPad on iOS7. In each attempt to connect, the iPad recognized the Miracast dongle as an AirPlay device. When selecting to connect to it, it appeared to work initially. Choosing a photo to display on the AirPlay device, however, proved nothing worked. The photo would not project to the TV. The same applied for video as well, but I have not yet tested audio. When enabling screen mirroring in the AirPlay settings, I was also disappointed by the results. The notification bar turned blue, the device appeared to be trying to connect for mirroring, then the AirPlay settings reset, turning off the connection to the dongle. No matter how many times I tried, it wouldn’t work. It may be my lack of knowledge with iOS and how to properly connect the devices, it could be an incompatibility with iOS7, or it could just be a falsely advertised feature. I don’t know the answer to this. EDITED: If I am correct in that Visiontech makes this device, their website (in a couple of posts below) indicates AirPlay is a feature still in development and will be added in a future update.
EDITED: DLNA works as expected. I did have some buffering/stuttering, but that was likely due to my new ISP which is a reduction in speed. Any DLNA/UPNP app or device will recognize this dongle and send content to it. Since DLNA plays the content locally, I haven't narrowed down which files are supported. I have not had any issue with mp4, which should be expected. In order to use DLNA, this dongle needs to be in AirFun mode, but you don't need to use the AirFun app to use it. This app just gives basic functionality and allows you to setup the dongle.
The most important feature in which I purchased this for is the Miracast functionality. I tested this in two different environments and found two different user experiences. I tested this at the university I work for and at home (which I am still testing more at home and will update this with more information later). Before you can connect to Miracast, you must press the button on the side of the dongle twice to switch to the wireless HDMI mode. At the university, the experience was such that I don’t feel it would be beneficial for the classroom. Connecting took several attempts before it was successful. Upon a successful connection, most of the time my device’s wireless connection was disconnected and reverted to cellular data. The screen mirroring worked as it should, however with a fraction of a second in latency. Audio transmitted to the TV flawlessly as well. At times, especially during heavy activity, the TV would fall further behind than initial connection and the picture would display large groups of poorly rendered blocks. This was further exaggerated when I reconnected to wifi for some reason. It may be due to the large number of wireless devices on a college campus causing interference that caused these issues, but I don’t know enough about networking to make an educated guess to this. I did notice turning the HTC One’s Power Saver mode off improved the experience, but only slightly.
EDITED: At home, I get mixed results. Most of the time, it works flawlessly via Miracast. There are times that the picture lags behind and when it starts to, it can be tens of seconds behind. It eventually catches up, especially if you stop your activity to allow it to catch up. With that said, I streamed a few movies from Plex to my HTC One which was Miracasting to the PTV dongle. I did not see any moments in any attempt in which the mirroring had fallen out of sync with my phone. I did, however, find a few movies that would not play sound over Miracast. I am not sure if this is due to bandwidth, licensing/authentication/DRM, or something else entirely. I need to investigate the files more in depth to determine if it's the stream. I tried to play a game with this, but I honestly found myself looking at my phone more than the TV to see where I was touching on screen. I didn't notice any delay here either, but I wasn't playing a complex game either. I ought to try this using a game controller and see how it performs this way. I also discovered that Google Play Music and Google Play Movies & TV are blocked over Miracast. They will not play, even locally stored music tracks. Play Movies tells me this feature is not supported, while Play Music will either display "Cannot play track" or disconnect the Miracast connection completely. Upon contacting Google with regard to this, they responded indicating that this is normal behavior and suggested I buy a Chromecast. I shouldn't have to buy another product to use Google services that already work on my device.
Being a Sprint customer and experiencing network issues regularly on their cellular data, I have installed an app that floats network download and upload speeds on my screen so that I can determine if anything isn’t working due to my internet connection. I noticed that while connected through Miracast, my upload speeds were incredibly high. This is what I would expect from a Miracast connection considering 1080p video encoded as h.264 mp4 video and up to 5.1 surround sound audio is being sent from my phone to the dongle over wifi direct. For anyone curious about the network activity, my upload speeds floated between 7-9 Mbps while connected to Miracast. Download speeds remained normal for the activity I was performing.
I also wanted to note that the PTV Miracast adapter gets about as hot as the HTC One can during high activity. It can be uncomfortable to touch. The included manual warns about this and promises that it will not affect performance. I am still concerned of the heat, despite the manual’s acknowledgement of this issue. Hopefully the heat doesn’t affect this device’s lifespan. I hope that this in-depth review has been helpful to all those who have read it. I would recommend this product to others, but I would warn others of the shortcomings this dongle has as well. The $50 I paid for this was a fair price considering the average price for Miracast today. Others at the same or higher price don’t offer MirrorOP or AirPlay -- I’m hoping a firmware update down the road fixes the AirPlay problems.
Tested with:
MirrorOP - Nexus 7 (2012) on Android 4.3
AirPlay - iPad 2 (two different iPads) running iOS7
Miracast - HTC One on Android 4.3 Sense 5
Full HD 1080P WiFi Display Dongle HDMI Wireless PTV Support DLNA / Miracast
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESUPKE4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just received this dongle. Haven't had time to play with it yet, but will very very soon. I did manage to test whether or not the HTC One would connect and on 4.3 Sense 5, it connects and detects it. It's not as intuitive as I would hope, but I'll elaborate later. iPad connectivity via AirPlay will be tested soon too.

Well, I plan on writing an in depth review later and putting I on the Amazon page too. But some initial thoughts:
So far, miracast works great! WiFi turns off while connecting. Not sure if this is normal or not. Performance is also worse with wifi on, in fact it can be very unusable with wifi on. But this was tested at work so far, home wifi might be a different experience.
If you plan to use any of the other features, I don't recommend setting it up on a wifi that needs to be authenticated - as in if you need to open a website, get a splash screen, and either sign in or accept a license agreement. This is not possible to do on this device and it locked me out of the dongle because it was connected to this kind of network and I had no way to change it.
You download the app to control this device directly from the dongle via ip address. You use the app for everything besides miracast - Dlna, configuration, etc.
I'll update op with full, in depth review after I spend some time with it.

EDIT: testing at home not disconnect of wifi upon connection. iPad on iOS 7 will see the dongle as an airplay device, but can't connect to it for mirroring, not sure what else to do with it. More testing to come.

Another note for everyone before I write my in-depth review... Airplay doesn't work. The iPad will see the dongle as an Airplay device, but won't connect to it. Tried screen mirroring and just picture sharing, neither worked. Could be something to do with iOS 7 or something.

Updated OP with in-depth review. Need to revisit two sections after I play with it some more. Will update in a few days.

Not having much success at home either. It works for a little bit, then has problems like I experienced at the university. Still planning to update with more info. But I think I found the company that makes this - the vendor has left this information out and the packaging doesn't include this info either. The specs, description, features, and pictures are all identical.

In case anyone wants to investigate further.

Wow! this review is very helpful man. thanks for this review. Now I think I want one :cyclops:

No problem. Shop around though, I think if it supported 5ghz wifi like miracast is supposed to, this would have been a better experience. I just recently discovered that.

HI,
2 weeks ago I got this unit http://www.win-star.com/eshop/goods.php?id=159
I choice it because of the integrated LAN, and simplified functionality (no android, no need to play with air mouse).
It prove to need it own mouse to switch between different modes, as there no any button on unit itself(only hidden reset)
During first star the Unit create own wifi network so I connect to it my samsung galaxy s4 active. However I was unable to test miracast mode not connect.
Then I switch to "bridge to wireless" trying to connect WS-AV601D1 to my existing network but unsuccessfully. I switch back manually to "AP only" mode, however since then I can not see any more networks from the device itself nor to access WIFI settings(its gray/unaccessible). I can not see anymore the open WiFi network that the device should make. I reset it several times to default settings but it going to "Bridge to WiFi" mode instead of "AP only". WiFi light not switching on at all, and wifi module is unaccessible. WiFi module fail about 10 min after first start.
Note that the unit support only WEP encryption, and have no settings for connection to not broadcasted /hidden SSID. So practically I could not connect it WiFi to my existing network even if it works(unless broadcast SSID and change to WEP)!!!
Further I could test only airplay(android airfun appk) from my s4 active and notebook, and screen mirroring from my notebook only(having the device connected to my network via LAN cable). Using the software provided.
Most important for me was the 1080p video played from notebook to TV quality. So the quality was bad, looks like xvid 700MB rip(or more like x264, baseline, ultra fast, 1000bit/s encoding). Dont understand me wrong quality was fair for animation movies of my son, despite of HDMI playback of same video you can not see each hear and dimple of actors face). There was some sound distortion too, however i dint paly with sound settings of the unit. Upload speed during playback was 2-3mbit, while normal speed within my network is 6-7mbit. Note that the Unit is LAN connected to my Asus RT-N66U.
I already send my back to China and waiting for refund.
So I could not test miracast! Does it provide better video quality when mirroring 1080p video What unit you could recommend

I purchased the iview Mira Cast dongle and it pretty much works the same. I did notice a slight lag in playing videos and sometimes it falls behind. The dlna feature works really well but with no remote you have to push everything from the One or browsing your dlna server with another app. I use skifta.
