Does Note 2 (Allshare cast) work with PTV3000 (Miracast receiver)

has anyone tried this
i nkow the GS3 worked with the Netgear PTV3000
but it seems to be a case by case thing, because the NOte 10.1 didn't
I bought the all share cast hub, but it sucks, because only the Note 2 can connect to it, and no other Miracast certified device (laptop) can
although the allshare cast is based on Miracast
So I am looking to get the PTV3000 which I know my laptop will connect to, and any miracast phone should (Nexus 4, GS3 already confirmed to work)
I hope someone who has tried the GNote 2 can weigh in
Thanks

If you look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847290 you can see that the Samsung Galaxy S3 is supposed to work with Netgear ptv3000. But there is also issues as seen here http://goo.gl/TkAUT
I currently own a Galaxy Note 2 (sgh-i317m LTE model) and the new Push2TV (ptv3000) and no matter what I do I cannot get it to work
My phone runs on stock 4.1.1 JB and my PTV3000 is up to date.
If I put the Push2Tv in Miracast "mode" I see it from my GN2 AllShare Cast menu and it tries to connect ... but after many seconds it fails.
If someone else got it to work I would like to know also

Full Miracast support isn't approved until Android 4.2 (according to Wiki)

Just received an email from Netgear support:
Thank you for choosing NETGEAR. My name is ... and I will be your support expert. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Regarding the concern, sometime early next year Netgear will release the firmware for this device that will enable the Miracast to work with your smart phone. So at present you will not be able to use this feature from your Smart Phone.

I know 4.2 will officially support Miracast but we are talking about "AllShare Cast". The partnership has been announced between Samsung and Netgear but I see an update will be required.

Ah..I see. AllSHare cast TO a PVT3000. Wow. That's a great idea!! The second it works I will buy a Netgear PVT 3000!
Edit: Found this.
I'm running Sprint GSIII w/ 4.1 and follow these steps:
1) Hook up the PTV3000 like normal (power, HDMI)
2) When it's booted up and displays ready to connect, I push the little button on the side and get the PTV3000 into Miracast mode
3) Launch "Allshare Cast" from the GSIII, click on and let it scan. It should display some "random" Netgear PTV3000 number
4) Click "Connect"; a pop-up window should open saying "Connecting", and once done you should be connected.
.....and that's it. Whatever you do on the phone will display on your TV exactly as does in the palm of your hand. Sometimes I have to toggle the button on the side of the PTV3000 and restart the Allshare Cast app to get it to connect, but nothing else is necessary.

All that process is exactly what I do, but at step 4 it says "Connecting", for a while, then it fails
I have a Canadian Rogers Galaxy Note II with stock 4.1.1 rom (simply rooted). It looks like it should work but it doesn't. I've even tried to connect right after switching between the WiDi to Miracast mode (saw this trick elsewhere) but it's a no go.
I'll wait for Netgear update :angel:

GS3 vs. GNII - shouldn't they both work??
It's strange that GS3 works while GNII doesnt - no? Really looking for a simple solution to push out to tv. have GTV 1Gen version (revue) and can't get anything to work properly to push to tv. was oping this box could do it!

Yes strange, I thought GS3 and GN2 were very similar. I've tried may scenario like resetting my PTV3000 with the reset button, restarted my GN2, tried to connect right after switching mode, waited for a complete AllShare Cast scan... and no solutions seems to work at the moment.
If someone know how to make it work without any PTV3000 update I'm ready to try

So is there any chance of extending the display to 1080p and outputting this to the miracast adapter? Ideally running two displays: An input device application (e.g. virtual KB/ mouse) on the phone and the main Android display on the monitor/TV?
Does a similar solution exist currently?

Updated PTV3000 to 2.2.2 firmware, still doesn't work, at least gives an error though, complains about HDCP. Works great on my Nexus 4 now though.

2.2.6 released.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2410607/PTV3K_V2.2.6.sbin

"Chris LudlowLevel 1 Post replyJan 14 (15 hours ago)
I can confirm that the 2.2.4 firmware works with my Note 2.
PTV3000 2.2.4
Fully stock Note 2 AT&T - with the new 4.1.2 JB (multi window) update from samsung.
I had tried 2.1.4, 2.1.5, 2.2.2 and none worked.
After applying the 2.2.4 firmware the 1st couple of times connection failed. It turned off my wifi on the phone for some reason. When I turned it back on, opened Chrome browser then pulled the drop down message/task window and hit the "AllShare Cast" button, voila! It connected and is working pretty darn well considering this is beta. Lag is about 1 second, but all I want to do is watch pod casts/videos. Youtube as well as videos from channel9.msdn.com are playing perfectly (which I believe uses a silverlight/html 5 player).
I received a text in the middle of a video, so I flipped out to read it (mirrored on TV perfectly) but when I went back to chrome, the TV was stuck on the view of my message. I turned off the allcast, back on and it's running fine again."

That's a done deal for me. Buying one. You can set up PS3 Media Server to run from a PC, and use UPNPlayer to access PS3 Media Server on the Note 2, then play a video through MX Player or DicePlayer and wirelessly, sending it to the Netgear PVT3000. And that's my goal.
I will put up a video once I have this working.

It is stuff like this that still casts a shadow on android. Apple tends to work really well with apple products but android based on open source which supposedly supports more standards out of the box just asks for a bad rap when OEM's halfass hardware support. And why doesn't android still not have a GOTO product that supports mirroring and dual screen support? Android is just begging for a universal dock, much like laptops have had for awhile, but the OEM's are too greedy and limit accessories on the fact that you'll buy the next accessory that is only supported by x phone or x brand.

Apple requires an Apple TV to "Airplay" and this means obviously, totally closed source. Android is developing the open sourced Miracast into it's operating system base. That means ANY Miracast enabled device will allow for functioning wireless display. Samsung's All Share cast can already connect with a Samsung dongle OR a Samsung TV that has AllShare Cast enabled. BUT, Allshare ALSO works with a Miracast enabled receiver, like the PVT3000 which is in firmware dev right now.
PVT3000 firmware 2.2.4 works with Stock Allshare cast Samsung ROMS currently (with some noise issues).
While Android, being that it is open source doesn't have a dedicated wireless app, besides Miracast, is going to run behind Apple, once it is finished solving the bugs it will surpass Apple just like everything else in Android that has been refined does.
Take a look at the Nexus 4 Miracasting. And you don't need "Android/Google TV" to use it.
3:30 mark to see the delay from Nexus 4 to the screen (perfect for video...not for gaming)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwvYrv2s9Kk
Now...see what NVIDIA has done using the Tegra 3 to enhance Miracast.
:35 mark for delay example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b52zqNIeQso
What's my point? It will get there, and when it does, it will be excellent.
EDIT: LG tv's are coming with Miracast built in. Check out this video. practically zero lag.
56 second mark for example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPzRWw5LNL4
Edit 2:
Also..AirPlay has HUGE delays. About 3-4 seconds. While Miracast is getting down to around 60MS.
http://forum.algoriddim.com/viewtopic.php?id=1307
Manufacturers getting on board with Miracast:
http://certifications.wi-fi.org/sea...=&date_from=&date_to=&selected_certifications[]=69&x=62&y=15
and
http://certifications.wi-fi.org/sea...=&date_from=&date_to=&selected_certifications[]=67&x=37&y=8
I would say with this kind of collaboration it won't be long before Miracast comes to Apple products, unless Apple doesn't want that...then they had better expand the allowed receivers and improve their latency dramatically.

PVT3000 works on Galaxy Note 2 stock 4.1 ROM.
Ok. Received my Netgear PVT300 and here is what I have found so far. ONly testing with the 2.2.4 currently using a Galaxy Note 2 with stock ROM with power saving mode off.
1. NO noise line (garbled or digitized delays in the feed)
2. Sound and video sync fine.
3. If I am streaming Youtube, it seems that it works great, then may pause or stutter a bit. If I pick the phone up and click the power button or rotate the phone in my hand the stuttering goes away almost instantly. Like the phone has gone to sleep and moving it or pressing power brings the CPU back up to full speed. This may be important if Samsung needs to know that AllShare Cast sleeps too easily.
4. Netflix will NOT play through my wifi network when I have the AllShare cast on. Instead it grabs the cell tower for some weird reason. Also, equally as strange, Netflix plays the 16:9 (widescreen) videos in 4:3 (standard) making them look compressed...squished. Bizarre. As soon as I drop AllShare Cast the image goes widescreen and uses the wifi again.
5. Sometimes the AllShare complains that the stream is unstable and if I reconnect I might get a better signal. I am going to try placing the PVT in a better line of site place as it sits behind my HDTV right now.
6. And you aren't going to believe this one. I can connect to the PVT, then open up UPNPlayer, THEN...open a video that is being served from my PS3 Media Server off my PC, and play a 720P movie through the phone and out to the PVT. Unreal.
7. The only real hiccup is some actual frame dropping during playing. It's not bad...really barely noticeable But I can see it. If I have to guess I would say that there is a sync problem of some sort as the hiccup happens in a very evenly timed interval. Like every 23 out of 25 frames, that frame drops.
8. The delay is really minimal. I mean, you can see the delay from phone screen movement to TV, but even if you wanted to play a game...you could do it without much trouble if the game didn't require pinpoint reactivity (think Angry Birds Star Wars..lol)
Future testing plans:
I have not tried long term video playing, but I plan to and I plan to do it with the screen forced to stay on as well....just to see if the phone is deep sleeping and making the stream stutter because of it. I also plan to do all these same tests with 2.2.6 or the next beta that comes out (whichever happens first). I also want to try a customer ROM with a better kernel. I had a ROM on before and used the Perseus kernel and man....the phone was stupid fast. But I think it was killing the battery. Actually...that is another thing I wasnt to check. Making sure the battery can still charge while doing all of this. Sometimes running too many things and the GPS at the same time won't let the battery charge fast enough to beat the drain. Depends on your wall adapter really. Samsung's adapter is a 2 amp output and the phone needs it sometimes.
I could video my findings, but I doubt anyone cares that much.

HDCP
With a rooted note 2 running CleanROM ACE, I consistently get HDCP errors when attempting to connect. My girlfriend's stock note 2 works fine.
I'm not an expert, however from what I've read most roms do not include the files for HDCP authentication. I searched my device for libstagefright_hdcp.so for example, and came up with nothing.
The question arises:
Can you simply toss those files in the file system where they need to be? Will this yield the desired result?
I've also seen discussion of Cyanogen including these files with a setting to disable HDCP if a device is buggy. Can anyone confirm that?
Thanks for your time.

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

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?

[Q] Miracast - Who has it working?

I have the fire stick, and can't get miracast to work. For those of you that do have it working, can you share your setup?
Devices I've tried:
Moto G with Lollipop
Surface Pro 3
HP Stream 7
Nokia Lumia 1520
For me it just sits on the waiting screen, sometimes my device name shows up saying mirroring will start soon but then it eventually times out and goes back to the settings screen.

I haven't been able to get Miracast on my Fire TV Stick to connect to me Windows 8.1 laptop.
Yes, I've gone to settings->display & sounds->enable display mirroring.
The first time I tried it on the laptop, it showed up in my devices (as a cell phone, which is strange), but when I "projected the screen", nothing ever showed up on the screen and it changed my laptop's resolution. I deleted it from devices and tried again and I can't get it to connect now. It just said said display mirroring is starting soon on the fire tv stick and just times out on the laptop.
On my LG G3, it didn't work last night, but when I tried it again just now, it worked.
Should the Fire TV Stick be able to Miracast with my laptop? My WLAN card does not support 5GHz. Is that the problem? The Fire TV Stick and LG G3 are connected via 5GHz, the laptop is connected to the same router via 2.4GHz.

I also can't get it to work with either my Lenovo X1 Carbon or, Samsung Series 7 tablet (Win 8.1 on both, miracast on the first, Intel WIDI on the second), the firetv is detected but it just won't connect. It worked with my Moto X, so I'm assuming it might just be working with android devices at this point which is a damn shame since this was one of the main selling points of the Fire TV stick for me.

Got it working on my Fire Stick and Nexus 5 running on custom kitkat rom. Had no luck on the first few try, my phone can see my fire stick and when it said it's connecting, the fire tv stick also said it's "preparing" to connect to my android device with my device name on the screen, but it would just disconnect without doing anything and go back to the setting screen after a few seconds.
Then i tried to turn off and turn on my wifi on my phone, tried again, fire tv now put the tv screen into a black & blank screen, but nothing more, it would disconnect again after a few seconds later. Tried a few times later on, same result, and no luck.
Again, i turn off my wifi on my phone and tried again and it now connected wonderfully! Tried youtube video on my phone and it's watchable on the tv, i'm going to try out a local video tomorrow and see how does it perform, so far i'm happy with browsing my photo in my phone alone without lags i found unacceptable on chromecast (but to be fair, it's not build for direct mirroring a device)
I have no luck in setting it up with my win 8.1 DELL e6540 laptop yet, i'm not sure if it even support miracast, would look into that also tomorrow. Right now i'm just happy it works on my phone and the quality is definitely acceptable.:good:
Hope it helps someone to setup your miracast!

Surface Pro 3
HP Stream 7
Nokia Lumia 1520
For me it just sits on the waiting screen, sometimes my device name shows up saying mirroring will start soon but then it eventually times out and goes back to the settings screen.

3 of the 4 devices you try to cast are Windows, which you will expect problems since this is an Android system. The Moto G might have to deal with Lollipop and Google locking down Miracast for Chromecast only. I have a Nexus 7 and Nexus 9 on Lollipop and both can't cast to Amazon Fire TV. However, my Oneplus One and Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 running CM11 can cast both to Chromecast and Fire TV/Fire Stick. I think this is due to some kind of ROM blocking. Just wait till somebody find a way around it. Most devs are busy porting Lollipop to old Android devices.

That's probably the case, I just thought being Miracast certified meant it was actually supposed to work.

I've both a Note 3 and a LG G3 but can't miracast to my fire tv device from either. The phones can seethe fire tv and their name appears briefly on screen but then it simply fails. Everything is unrooted.

Got it working on my Fire Stick and Nexus 5 running on custom kitkat rom. Had no luck on the first few try, my phone can see my fire stick and when it said it's connecting, the fire tv stick also said it's "preparing" to connect to my android device with my device name on the screen, but it would just disconnect without doing anything and go back to the setting screen after a few seconds.
Then i tried to turn off and turn on my wifi on my phone, tried again, fire tv now put the tv screen into a black & blank screen, but nothing more, it would disconnect again after a few seconds later. Tried a few times later on, same result, and no luck.
Again, i turn off my wifi on my phone and tried again and it now connected wonderfully! Tried youtube video on my phone and it's watchable on the tv, i'm going to try out a local video tomorrow and see how does it perform, so far i'm happy with browsing my photo in my phone alone without lags i found unacceptable on chromecast (but to be fair, it's not build for direct mirroring a device)
I have no luck in setting it up with my win 8.1 DELL e6540 laptop yet, i'm not sure if it even support miracast, would look into that also tomorrow. Right now i'm just happy it works on my phone and the quality is definitely acceptable.:good:
Hope it helps someone to setup your miracast!

no luck on my nexus 5 with lollipop. stays on the connecting screen and then just stops trying to connect.

Works for about a minute and then stops
Stock Nexus 5 running Lollipop. Activated casting on the Fire Stick, and then on the N5. It seems like I had to get off of the cast screen on the N5 before it would start casting. I simply went back to the home screen. Tried to cast a you tube video which worked for a minute or so but then the TV screen went blank. Eventually the Fire Stick said the connection was dropped.

From what I've seen, it looks as though Google silently dropped Miracast support in Lollipop. The option to cast your screen from the OS appears to only work with the chromecast protocol now. They also broke car mode... Again. ?

I have it sort of working with Moto X KitKat - I can mirror the phone, but if I try to stream a Google Play movie it stutters and hangs. I could be my wifi signal - I have not tried it elsewhere in the house, but that is my next step.

I haven't been able to get Miracast on my Fire TV Stick to connect to me Windows 8.1 laptop.
Yes, I've gone to settings->display & sounds->enable display mirroring.
The first time I tried it on the laptop, it showed up in my devices (as a cell phone, which is strange), but when I "projected the screen", nothing ever showed up on the screen and it changed my laptop's resolution. I deleted it from devices and tried again and I can't get it to connect now. It just said said display mirroring is starting soon on the fire tv stick and just times out on the laptop.
On my LG G3, it didn't work last night, but when I tried it again just now, it worked.
Should the Fire TV Stick be able to Miracast with my laptop? My WLAN card does not support 5GHz. Is that the problem? The Fire TV Stick and LG G3 are connected via 5GHz, the laptop is connected to the same router via 2.4GHz.

I have the same symptoms - my LG G2 running Cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.4) can usually mirror fine to my Fire TV Stick, but sometimes it can't connect - a power cycle on the Fire Stick makes it work again.
However, my Windows 8.1 Pro x64 Surface Pro (1) can't establish a connection. After pressing the Add Wireless Display button, the Fire Stick is detected as a "Cell Phone." (That's probably indicative of the problem?) Then, attempting to connect to the FTVS results in the stick saying "a connection will start soon to "MYSURFACEPRO" for a few seconds, then the Fire TV Stick dumps back out to the Settings menu. Windows waits for a minute or so and eventually gives an error message.
I ran Windows Update and rebooted, but had same non-result.
I don't think Windows is detecting the Fire TV Stick as a "Wireless Display", so maybe that's why the FTVS is aborting the connection - Windows is negotiating wrong????

Same here. Does not miracast windows displays.
Miracast is such a bull**** standard. How can they certify devicess when they all have different handshake procedures.
Im hopping for an update. I tried with three laptops.

works for me on a stock att galaxy s5 no issues, even video streams from showbox work well. no luck with custom rom note2. looks like its too old for miracast, but streambles app works alright and no sideload needed since its on amazon fire tv app store.

With Fire Stick, works with Galaxy Tab s 8.4, not so much with Verizon S5 or Note 3.

Galaxy S3; CyanogenMod 11 = Successful screen cast but no audio (is audio supposed to work).
Galaxy S4 Stock KitKat = Successful screen sharing, but again no audio.
Kindle Fire HD 7" (2012 version). CyanogenMod 11 = Fail (Screen cast seems disabled on this device with current builds of CM11)
Lenovo Miix 2 11 with Windows 8.1 = Fail (same problems as everybody else)
Dell XPS 12 with Windows 8.1 = Fail (ditto)
Intel NUC ( D54250WYK ) with Windows 8.1 = Fail (broken record)
All attempts to share screen with my Fire TV Stick on current (as of 12/15/14) firmware.

Good point - my audio didn't work either with my LG G2 VS980 running CyanogenMod 11. Forgot about that part of it. And yes, audio is definitely supposed to work.

Were you able to try any of your Windows devices with the new firmware?

Miracast see's my LG TV but doesn't connect

Hello, I am running 4.6.3 rooted on an Unlocked phone but I cannot seem to be able to select the Miracast listing (My new LG TV). When I choose Miracast, it finds the TV but when I click on it it just appears to flash the screen and go back to the listing. Has anyone tried or used Miracast successfully to a TV? I also have a LG 8.3 Pad and it works flawlessly. Any thoughts on how I could resolve this? I don't really want to unroot.
Thanks in advance,

Never mind, I got it to work. Renamed my TV name then recast. Moderators, Please close thread.

Miracast support

I know Google dropped Miracast awhile ago, but I really really need it. Chromecast just isn't cutting it. Via build.prop (additions below), I've been able to see the Miracast device but it won't connect. Occasionally I'll even see my homescreen pop up, but it will immediately disconnect. I remember having this problem with an HTC 10 and it had to do with the wifi setting being in battery saver mode. I'm currently unlocked with Magisk on 8.1.0.
Has anyone been successful in getting Miracast to work??
build.prop modifications:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
persist.sys.wfd.virtual=1

I've not heard anyone getting it to work on the Pixel XL 2. Other than I saw this post in the Nitrogen thread here

Just use All Cast. You will need to pay for it, I think it's like $5, but I've been using it for years. Works great and with Chromecast and pretty much anything that allows DLNA. I cast to two TV's, my Nexus Player, XBOX, etc. using it.

Unfortunately I need to it mirror my screen, not just play media. Thanks though!

Hi folk, please I need mirror my Pixel 2 XL on TVs for my job. I've Chromecast ultra but it doesn't work with P2XL (it seems some technical issue made by 8.1.0) in the meanwhile I'm waiting for fix by big G do you know if All cast can do this job?

This might sound nuts, but is that Chromecast Ultra using a wired network connection? I have no idea the cause but i've had issues with some devices (a samsung tablet for example) connecting to the Chromecast Ultra when it was plugged into the wired connection, often just insta dropping, but it worked flawless when they both were using wireless. Other devices like a Nexus 6p connected perfectly in both network configurations.

Any idea which custom ROMs support Miracast besides Nitrogen OS Oreo? I really need the screen mirroring ability to a windows 10 laptop.
