Looking for a wireless solution similar to Samsung all share.

I don't know if one but if you hear be sure to tell me too.
And unless Samsung changed All Share since I had my epic touch you couldn't wireless mirror. It only would let you do videos, audio, and images wirelessly. Please correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure on this.
I think what the poster is referring to is wirelessly mirroring everything like browsing the net and playing games.
To add to this, I saw a Korean video of someone demonstrating the optimus g on a tv while using the phone wirelessly. So it is possible. I don't know what app it was but I don't remember a cord. If I find the video I will post the link.
Edit: Here is the link. I see no wire.

I have a Netgear Miracast/Intel WiDi display adapter connected to my tv. The OG picks up the Netgear as a compatible adapter and seems ready to output to it wirelessly but when I tell it to connect, nothing happens. The OG says it is connecting but never actually does. I noticed though that the instructions the phone displays says to either connect the LG Miracast dongle or turn on the Miracast feature on the tv. So potentially a LG Miracast donlge exists that may allow for the use of mirroring the OG or maybe some LG tvs have this feature builtin and it can be used that way.

The Jelly Bean 4.1 update might add full compatibility. I would wait a week for the update and see if it's still giving you trouble, it might be a bug they have to fix.

I use mine to connect to my TV through xbmc. It shows the pictures with no problems, but hit or miss with videos.

I upgraded to JB and now when I try to use Miracast with my Netgear PTV3000, it works initially but disconnects after about 2 minutes every time. Also, when streaming HD video over Miracast, its now initially very jerky/choppy (lots of dropped frames), though it eventually smooths out but then as mentioned above, it disconnects. I had no such issues with ICS (everything worked fine) so I think the Miracast streaming/disconnect problems are due to some issue with the stock JB ROM and not my Netgear adapter.

Micro hdmi to hdmi not working on TV (Vivo tab rt)

Has anyone tried to use the micro hdmi connection on vivo tab rt and have any success getting it to work on your tv? I've tried everything I can think of and rebooting with cable connected causes it to boot to a black screen on the tab itself. If you've had success with it please share.

I just tried it on my vivo tab Rt and it works. All I did was plug the hdmi into the tv then the tablet and changed the tv to the correct input and boom. By default it mirrors whatever is on the tablet. The resolution is a little off but other than that tried playing a video and plays back smoothly on the tv while playing on the tablet.

Wireless display to samsung smart tv says connected then ended, any suggestions to ge

I have new Nexus 7 running clean rom and a Samsung 2013 smart tv. On my TV I go to screen mirroring and then it waits for a device to connect. On the Nexus 7 I go to wireless display and search. It finds my Samsung tv. I click on it, the nexus 7 says connecting and the TV says connecting to device as well. Then the TV says device connected. On the nexus it still says connecting. Then the TV goes black and then says screen mirroring has ended. On nexus it goes from connecting to my Samsung TV not being on the list anymore. On my Verizon galaxy s3 screen sharing works fine.
Do I need the allshare app on the nexus for this to work correctly? If so is there a version compatible with the new nexus 7?
If I don't need allshare app is there a mod I can do to get this to work?
Thanks for any help.

Do you have a samsung phone, with allshare cast on it? if not you may want to check for a software update / firmware update for your TV as the allshare cast dongle required a update for "Screen Mirroring" to work instead of being locked down to just samsung devices with "AllshareCast", even though AllshareCast is Miracast, which is what the n7's screen mirroring is.

Yes my Verizon Galaxy S3, which works fine on the TV and does have allshare cast on it. I did a firmware update on my TV about a week ago and just tried the screen mirroring today with that result. I will try again when I get home to see if maybe the nexus just needed a reboot and to see if any new firmwares came about on my TV since the last one.

I don't know that it's applicable to tv's also, but does your s3 have the allsharecast dongle software update, that was updated July 30th installed? It does kind of have a small reference to tv's in the app description, but it's horribly translated to English , so who knows what all it applies to really lol

I have exactly the same case here - unable to use my Samsung smart tv as wireless display for my N7 flo. Any ideas?

Exact same here with Nexus 4 and new 75F6300, with all updates.

So it should be samsung TV incompatibility then.

I never had luck getting this to work, but I wondered if the google chromecast, or any device in its $35 price range, can be used to successfully screen mirror from the new nexus 7.

Guys, if you are running custom roms and kernels, the chances of screen mirroring is near zero.
I see reports of some custom roms and kernels for my S4 with working display mirroring but that's like a 1 in 20 chance and I never could find one that worked for me. However, stock rom and kernel (even rooted) worked for me on the S4.
I'm running 4.3 stock rooted on my N7 and miracast work fine as well.
I'm using PTV3000 as the sink device so may be different from standalone TVs.

Your so right about that I have a locked bootloader xperia z on existenz rom based on stock xperia rom and I get screen mirror errors but the developer of the rom says its fine for him but ive only experience these errors since kitkat was released for xperia z ive been on about three different custom roms based on stock for xperia z and only one of those roms had working screen mirroring @niaboc79 please fix this problem ive been asking you for months cany you promise me it will be fixed in v2.0 please dont care how long it takes

Here it is 4 years later and I still can't find a solution.

Custom marshmallow roms usually support miracast, it should work with your older TV, nougat does not as I know,that's why I bought a used chromecast2. May a Dev will take care for it in the near future for nougat.

I have a Galaxy s7 and I'm screen mirror from my fire stick and it's been working just fine I been watching movies, now when I try to screen mirror to watch more movies it keeps saying smart view connection ended. What does this means?

Allcast share dongle not connecting to 10.1 2014 edition

I am trying to use my Samsung allcast share dongle with the new tablet, it shows the dongle, it shows connected on the tablet, but before the image shows up on the screen it disconnects. When I first connected the tablet with the dongle it updated the firmware, but I still cannot get it to work, any suggestions?

Same issue.
I've tried changing the display density and size (wm density 150; wm size 1280x800) to match my 10.1 2012 to no avail. The 2012 works, as do my S4 and S3.
On default resolution and density, the 2014 connects, I get a green, vertical line on the far right of the display, and then I disconnect. At reduced density/resolution, I disconnect but get no green line. I am trying to connect to an Acer P1273 projector that has a max resolution of 1920×1200. No joy at all.
The dongle works with my 2014 on other output devices, just not this projector, so far.
If you crack the case, please let me know, too!
Good Luck!

I've no problem with my P605, but sometime I've to try to connect several times because it often fails.
When finally the connection begin everything work perfectly for all the time.
P.S.: I've never seen a 1080p connection with my dongle (even connecting with my S3 or S4). I see always 720p connections.

There is an update for the allshare cast dongle. I purchased 2 of them for my job to work with some demo tvs we got from Samsung. I was getting frequent disconnects and when I met up with our Samsung solutions architect yesterday I asked him about the disconnect problem, he pushed out an update that fixed the problem. Let me see if I can get that apk. He said it would auto update when you connect your device, but that NEVER happened to me. I'll contact him tonight and just tell him I have one at home with the same problem.

How did you change pixel density / resolution on the note 10.1 - 14 ? root needed?

Root is needed, yes.
Once rooted, open a terminal and assume root with su -. Next, use the wm commands to make the changes: wm size widthxheight; wm density density.
You may have to restart to get things to look clean again. As always, backup first.
Resetting is a matter of assuming root and entering wm size reset; wm density reset.

Mine works fine, I have the P605 though....

I'm using SM-P600 and it worked until I flashed CleanRom. Hope Triangle Away is working soon with this device.
What you could try is to long press on your Dongle's Name and choose "Connect using PIN". A pin will now be shown on your TV. Use this pin to connect your device to your Dongle. Got the same issue as you did but this worked for me.

Sort of. Chromecast can show a few things (YouTube, Google Play, Hulu Plus, NetFlix) on your TV. It is controlled by an Android device (like the Nexus) but it isn't streaming it from there.
However, on a desktop browser (but not from the Nexus, that I know of) you can have it more or less grab your screen and put it on the TV. Then you can show anything but video performance is only so-so and that's if you have a screaming fast computer and network.
Why you can't do that from Android, I have no idea -- it may be because of things like Hulu being paranoid about missing out on the mobile market.

Chromecast is not mirroring. You need special apps that have Chromecast capability to stream. And currently there are very few apps that can do that (Netflix, Youtube, etc.). You can not even mirror pictures or recorded videos (yet).
There are 3 ways (that I'm aware of) to mirror (listed in order or reliability):
1. Use a long cable (wired method). You need a slimport adapter and a long HDMI cable. There are mixed reviews and many are reporting the cheaper slimport adapters aren't working well. I use the one made by Kanex and it works well, but it's on the more expensive side at about $30.
2. Miracast (wireless) - This is similar to Widi and may be compatible with some Widi units. You need a TV that has a widi adapter built-in or you need to purchase a Widi Adapter for your TV. I have a Belkin Screencast which connects to my TV via HDMI and is a Widi adapter. The latest firmware allow it to do Mracast as well. However, I had to try several times until I got it to connect. I bought the Belkin Screencast a year ago to work with my laptop, but it was unreliable as it disconnected every few minutes. Hoping the latest firmware update would fix some issues. I just connected it today to my Nexus 7 and need to do further testing.
3. Google TV (wireless) - You need a TV with a built-in Google TV box or a separate Google TV box. There are apps that you can add to both the Google TV box and your Nexus which allow mirroring. However, I found this to be unreliable. The apps really slowed down my Logitech Google TV box. Lots of lag as well.
Nothing beats the good old wired slimport cable. However, I've seen Youtube videos showing great success using Mracast with other branded Miracast adapters (maybe it's just the Belkin that has issues).
Good luck!

Just a quick question, can I switch the screen off on my mobile when mirroring to tv via slimport? I want to use xbmc on nexus to watch tv on my tv screen and use Bluetooth mouse to control it so I don't need my nexus screen to be on.

No. Slimport will mirror whatever is on your screen to your TV. If the Nexus screen is blank, the TV screen will be blank too.

Obviously a Slimport connected to the Nexus 7 is the way to go. Then it is just HDMI.
I do have a question, can you please recommend a specific slimport model where someone has had success with the airport.
