I have enable Miracast on build.prop, for it to appear on the cast menu, it adds the option, I am able to find my TV, but when I connect to it, I receive a Force Close on the settings app, and the TV appears as black, or an static image of my phone homescreen, opening the settings app again would force close another time.. Is there any workaround for it?
I can confirm this. Miracast is not working on 7.0 (NPD90G).
UP
Really?
Thanks for the heads up. I had to root my 5X just to enable it (to change build.prop). And haven't allowed any updates since. I'd love to try Nougat, but not if it just cripples things I use.
I also had to root to enable apps to be able to access USB flash drives. Anyone know if Google resolved this in Nougat?

My EStrong File Explorer can access a USB flash drive (thumb type) without root on N. I haven't tried any other apps, though. However, otg, for that app, has always been available so that may not help with your issue.

I have Nougat installed and I try to connect to my microsoft wireless display adapter v2. I find it in the cast menu, but if I hit connect, the display adapter says connecting on the TV, but it is never successful.
Though I have to mention, that my adapter is pretty new and I never tried with Android 6, maybe it didn't work there either.
Greetings,
liebero
P.S: Did anyone successfully connect the microsoft wireless display adapter v2 with Android 6? Then I try switching back.
I'm on Android 7.0 NBD90W and the persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 fix doesn't work anymore. I've tried it on 2 LG smart TVs already.
I can confirm that Miracast to Microsoft display adaptor works on marshmallow. I have upgraded to nougat and it didn't work so I downgraded to marshmallow and plan to stay on marshmallow till I get a new phone. Probably going to go with a windows phone or an unlocked LG/Samsung. Seems Google no longer cares to offer Miracast so I'm hoping some of the other phone manufactures will include it.
Yes Mirracast is not working on Nougart but does work on Marshmellow
I can confirm that Miracast DOES NOT work on Nougat. This is so frustrating. I had to downgrade to Marshmallow Miracast is flawless on M. I have tried every ROM under the sun with the same results. Miracast FAILS to display with Nexus 6 and Nougat.

I had to buy a Chromecast because of this "bug" on Nougat, btw now I'm going to go back to Marshmallow on my 6P, since my 5X already died in a bootloop.
Hey there,
is this an Nexus 5X problem only? I'm using a OnePlus 3T with Android 7.0 and had also trouble connecting to my Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter plugged into my car radio. It always tried to connect while showing "Connecting..." but then just stopped. Somehow I managed to establish the connection, the problem is I don't know how.
I tried multiple things:
- Connecting from while Airplane Mode ist active
- Connecting while being connected via Bluetooth
- Switching to 2,4GHz WiFi only
None of those settings seemed to work so I switched them all back.
The day it finally worked I did the following:
- I was in the car with a friend who helped me out with trying to connect the device. About 30 connection tries after with multiple different settings (see above) were unsuccessful.
- I've been at his place about 2 hours, doing nothing special on the phone.
- When I got in the car afterwards, my OnePlus 3T could not find the wireless display adapter.
- After I stopped the engine (which does NOT turn off/reset the adapter) the phone could find the Miracast stick and the connection worked.
The last time the connection was successful before this point (I had to reset my device for rooting purposes) the connection always worked, after it was established the first time.
Yes, confirmed. Miracast is not working on Nougat. On Marshmallow it's working just fine.
Confirm, miracast wont work on Android 7. But also got weird acting. Its casting itself to neighbors TVs without me turning cast on. That is loose of privacy And security, i also seen the content What my neighbors whatching on theirs YouTube TV. How to fix issue, do anyone face same problem?
Its working on LineageOS, but yes doesn't work on nougart

I ordered the RavPower WD01 battery-powered wireless hub with wireless bridge mode when it went on sale for 50% off on Amazon (it's still on sale and here's the link, if you're interested - http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower%C2%AE-RP-WD01-Wireless-WiFi-Disk-Li-Polymer/dp/B00AQUMZRA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362256659&sr=8-1&keywords=ravpower+wd01 ). I wanted the ability to use portable media that I already have with my note and had been contemplating purchasing this unit due to the awkward placement of the proprietary power port that you need to plug OTG cables into. The Ravpower hub solves this issue since it's wireless.
The vendor processed and shipped my order promptly; unfortunately, a snow storm in the Midwestern US delayed the shipping company by several days. I've now had the unit for several days and can only say one word, WOW. This device exceeds my expectations. It's well worth the investment and can be used not only with Android and IOS devices, but with PCs as well.
The WD01 Is a compact device that's slightly smaller than a deck of cards. It's shipped well-protected in a sturdy box with foam enclosures that surround and it.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In addition to the WD01, the box contains a USB charging cable to charge the internal 3000 MAH battery and brief instructions. The battery on my unit was partially charged when I received it so I was able to set it up immediately. The WD01 has a slot for an SD card and a full-sizes USB port that can support flash drives and external hard drives (up to 2T).
The photo I've linked shows a flash drive and an SD card installed, but I have plugged my 2T hard drive and some smaller capacity hard drives into the unit and it could read all of them.
There is a free app that you can download and intall to setup the WD01, but as other reviewers have noted, you don't need it. What you need to do once you power on the device is wait for the WDO1's internal router to complete its power up, which can take a minute or so. Once the blue WIFI indicator light for the router stops blinking go to your note's WIFI settings and you should see a new network beginning with WIFI, click on connect. When prompted for a password, input the default, which is: 11111111. (That's eight 1s.) You can now use your Internet browser to set up your WD01 and I would recommend this method since you can configure more of the features than you can with the app. I also recommend using Dolphin HD or Firefox over the stock browser. Once your note has connected to the WD01 pull up your browser and input the default iP address of the WD01, which is 10.10.10.54 . You'll see the main login page.
The user name, which cannot be changed, is admin. The defaut password empty so just hit enter. This will launch a wizard that will take you through all the settings and allow you to set your own passwords for the device as well as change the default IP address for browser access to settings. You also set up the WD01's wireless bridge mode through the wizard. This feature will allow the WD01 to connect to your router so you can access the Internet via your router while connected to it. A word of warning, however, your mileage may vary with this feature depending on you router. Some routers now support WDS with strong WPA2 encryption, many don't. My router doesn't support WDS so I tested briefly putting my router into bridge repeater mode, but I also had to reduce my encryption down to WEP (with attendant speed reductions). It worked, but I quickly reverted my router back to its previous settings with WPA2 encryption. The wireless bridge feature isn't critical to me. However, when I next upgrade my router I'll make sure it supports WDS with WPA2 encryption. If you set up the wireless bridge mode, you can also configure dynamic dns on the WD01.
Once the wizard has taken you through all the settings, you'll see the main WD01 browser screen.
This allows easy navigation to make changes again to network settings.
You can even search attached media by name.
If you have a file manager that supports SMB, like ES File Explorer, you can use it to view and open files once connected to the WD01.
All files I tested, including audio books, MP3 and MP4 formats opened quickly and played flawlessly.
If you so desire, you can download the free AIRSTOR app to setup the device, but if you don't like bloatware, I recommend against it. The WD01 runs for about 5 hours on its internal battery. Up to 5 devices can connect to it at a time. The range on mine is about 25 feet before the signal gets too weak. I highly recommend this device. It's well worth the money.
FYI - It is on sale at Newegg.com for $40 from a third party. I think a number of similar units will come on the market shortly. However, I picked up one of these.
PS If you need warranty service, newegg is insisting on having the original box.

Problem with wireless connection
I got my Mini M8s II on 14th July, the WiFi is not working at all, youtube videos pausee, stop or freeze a few seconds later, with kodi, watching movies or TV shows (exodus, salts, Phoenix) is the same problem, get stopped suddenly. I tried changing settings modem Wpa2, wpa+wpa2, wep and the only setup that working is set in Open (no protection) but that is not cool.

Thanks for your experience. Have you tried it with a wired connection? Hope you get it fixed.
Wired it work fine, but the TV Box is far away from my TV.
Again, for the price, this seems to be the better one for me. I hope that the bad wifi can be worked around with an external antenna like the M8S (but I also had to apply a patched fw that someone created).
I need 2G of RAM (even without playing games doesn't take long before it slows down with 1G).
I need BT (headphones, mouse, keyboard)
missing is dual band wifi (would love to offload most of the wifi usage off of 2.4g)
one more USB port would be nice
longer power cord would be nice
external antenna would be nice
Does this box having Android 6 fix the problem where the audio drops every few seconds when passthrough is enabled?
got mine last week, but im having an issue with the language setting, it always changes back to chinese or something like that by itself even without restarting the device, despite that it has been working fine. is anyone having this issue too?
I'm a Chinese, I bought one in China, I do like the spec, exactly what I want,
but I got wifi connection problem too. I try to play movies shared from my PC, and the speed is very unstable, peak could be 3m/s, but 1 or 2 seconds later, it drops to 0, most of the time, speed is under 100k/s
I am asking the seller if there is any ROM update that could fix this problem, he/she said(about half an hour before) that he/she will ask the engineer
I am thinking whether to wait or to return it

They provided an update (rel. 2016-07-19) that fixes the WiFi issues: I get around 40 Mbit downstream easily over WiFi now...
They don't offer the update via OTA right now, it was online for short period but caused problems when downloaded, so they released it and people can copy it to the SD card.

To update:
Extract the 3 files (update.zip, factory_update_param.aml & recovery.img) to the SD Card (root of the SD card, no subfolder please ^^)
start the "update / backup" app on your box
select the update.zip and confirm
box will restart and install the new firmware
Language issue
I am also having the language reset issue.
Whenever I shut the box down after watching tv, the next time that I start the box, it starts with English and then reverts to Chinese after about 45 seconds.
This is a royal pain when you have to change the language back to English every time that you power on the box.
The other thing I've noticed is a long lag in Kodi when moving an external Logitech mouse or entering data with either the built-in or external keyboard.
It definitely stutters.
Otherwise, this would be a great box.
Any fixes for the above issues?
About 10 minutes after the box powered up for the first time, it has found july 4th firmware upgrade (small file about 14mb), then rebooted and almost immediately prompted for July 19th upgrade (430Mb if I remember correctly).
In the old days there was a "project" that had a ISO image of various video samples in all imaginable codecs on AVForums, but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know if there is something similar with H265 and VP9 files as well? I would want to run through all of the codecs and verify what works and what doesn't.
thanks a lot!
I got OTA and updated my box, the stability feels better, but signal strenth is still not good enough. I tesed it beside router, and it's fast as expected, then put it back to my TV side, where there is a wall between, the speed is poor again. as reference, my phone, oneplus one, can have full wifi speed at the same position. I think Ihave to move my router to a better place
Has anyone found a working root for these S905X boxes yet? If anyone can make it happen I will gladly pay for it.
Does anybody know how to activate ADB via USB with this device? I tried connecting the box to my PC using a special USB cable (offering two Typ-A plugs) but the PC did not find any USB device. So no connection via USB. Without USB connection I cannot activate ADB support. Without ADB support it seems there is no way to have remote access (VNC, RDP etc.) to the box.

Why can't you activate ADB support? Or do you mean a specific support besides ADB debug in the developer options?

I used ADB over WiFi, I didn't even try to use USB because those boxes without an OTG port can usually just be reached via burning tool, for example...

- Unplug power and male USB from the box.
- Load burning tool on the PC
- Press the reset button, keep it pressed and plug in the male USB
- Keep the power lead out at the moment when you see it says on your PC "connected successful" in the burning tool
- Release the button and plug power in

Btw. burning & customization tool hopefully can be used again in the future when they manage to release an IMG of the firmware and not only ZIP files. -.-

Hello,
i am browsing for a solution for hours now. I got the watch yesterday and can not pair it with my phone. It does not appear as "Smartwatch 3" in the Wear App, or in the "normal" bluetooth list of my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with 6.0.1 on it. Other nearby stuff is showing in the list like "Apple TV" or pcs in this house. I have reset the watch, i have reset the phone, i reinstalled the app, i downloaded older versions of Wear. I rebooted both devices multiple times. I used Sonys repairing tool and "repaired" and updated the watch. They just dont "see" each other. Only thing i can now think of is a custom rom for the watch or phone, but if the watch is broken i would lose the warranty to get a new one.
I would be very thankful for a magic trick.
I am sorry if I am stating the obvious, but the first time your watch doesn't appear as Sony Smartwatch 3 or something similar on your phone.
Don't try to pair your SW3 via Bluetooth, it wil only work via Android Wear and the watch has to take the initiative by sending out a code, see below. Obviously Bluetooth on your phone has to be turned on.
If you have a new SW3 or done a factory reset, the watch will try to pair itself to your phone with a code, mine was something like ZZ4wrh56, just select that on your phone within Android Wear when asked and after the pairing is complete (takes a while, because the phone will install and sync apps on your watch), only then your watch is called by it's proper name (you will stil not see it in linked devices btw in Bluetooth, only in Android Wear).

Hey, thx for the answer. The problem is that there is no "answer" from the watch. Wear only searches for watches, but cannot find any. Just an AppleTV of my neighbor. It is like there is no bluetooth signal being sent from the watch at all. It just sits there saying that the code should appear in Wear now...
Have you tried to pair it with another phone, if that works it's your s5 that's the problem, otherwise it's the watch and you should go back to the store.
Have you the right pairing screen on your watch during the process ?
Screen like this

Yep exactly the same screen. The third screen says "touch the code in the app". No code to touch, sadfully.
I rooted my phone yesterday---> nope :/. I am starting to think the watch is broken. I will try a different phone
tomorrow...
Yes you must have a window on Phone AND on watch with the pairing code to validate. You must accept on Phone AND on watch.

Yes i know. I am not allowed to post pictures here, but there is only an "AppleTV" showing in Wear, not the watch with its code.
so that's the 1st connection between SW3 and you r phone?
I've had some issues, I had to reset my watch, because phone couldn't connect.
You can download pc companion sony app and update watch to the latest version.
Make sure your phone is vissible - settings of bluetooth, android wear settings, move away from other radio devices.
I have the same problem
My Nexus 6p or any device not showing the watch
Tried everything hard reset with PC companion and reset from the watch and nothing :/
Also forget the BT device (SW3) in Android BT settings.

Hey,
my watch was broken. Got a new one from the seller. Now everything is ok. Save some time and just send it back...
I had the same problem (both smartphone and SW3 with Android 6.0.1) and I solved it with a rollback of Android Wear app (not sure if it's main cause).
Install any version below the 2.x (for example, 1.5.x), and smartphones will see it (also after a Watch reset).
Seems a bug in Android Wear 2.x for initial sync (maybe the old version of Google Play Services on SW3 (8.7.0) against 10.x? Don't know, I'm a newbie with Google Play Services troubleshooting )
I just received it today went through the initial setup and restarted it, I am now getting the Connecting to Google...message for 1 hour. I have tired using LAN and Wireless resetting several times and no success.
Now the bad news is, no way to get into fastboot on this device using the hold the power button down, since the new version doesn't have a micro-usb port nor a power button.

to get into fastboot you have to use the usb port farthest away from hdmi port. with usb 3 male to male cable.

as i stated above, l haven't been able to get past the Connecting to Google message, which is the reason i am trying to reset the unit via bootmenu/fastboot.
I purchased two units and the other one is working fine, but the remote is no longer fast scrolling after it did a firmware update(another words when i try to scroll through my apps list on the main screen I have to keep pressing the right part of the remote repeatedly instead of holding it down. it also highlights the current position in green, it didn't do this before the update.
I get it today.

Do you have another Android Phablet? Yeah I guess someone had to throw it out there. 'Cause it sounds to me like its (i.e. the Shield), is waiting on some 2FA from a Phablet, PC, Note/Net-book to port your otherwise current Google Account over to the Shield.
So barring the rest of it. Do you even have a Google Account? Again I can only assume that some People have a more fruity lifestyle than others. So please don't take to much offence at this.
'Cause on just on the off chance that you don't.... This will almost certainly be your problem. I can't really, say that I have fully as such exhausted every option in that setup mode. As it was clearly, setup to be paired though a Phablet. Which I have, and am using to post this very Message. So it's a bit of a non starter, for me.

I did use my Nexus 6P to set up the Nvidia Shield. It completed, told me I had a firmware update at which point I clicked the install and restart button. Update installed and restarted again, at which point I got the Connecting to Google.. message.
I just managed to fix it! I decided to change the language (since that was one of the few things I could do.) It gave me a weird message, and proceeded with the startup. I have to figure out how to change the language back to English, but once I did it is working normal.
My black shark 3 only charges when connected to laptop. There is no pop up to connect it to laptop please help
I'm having the same problem. it used to be fine and then all the sudden, it doesn't connect to the pc anymore.
Good afternoon!
I am from Brazil and I have the same problem unfortunately and without a solution so far and I believe it is a physical defect ....
Before I suspected that the last security update of the month 12/2020 could have caused this but seeing this topic there are people with this problem since 09/2020, that is before the android security update ...
I follow the topic to see if someone gives a light because mine is the same way I connect on the PC with his original usb cable and the device just keeps charging and does not open the menu to select the data transfer mode and even if I go to "Developer options" and enter usb settings and leave selected data transfer, nothing happens unfortunately it just keeps charging and doesn’t connect with the computer.
I did tests with other usb cables and nothing and also tried to connect to a Macbook Air and the same thing the device only charges and nothing else.
Detail the OTG function of it works normally because I connected an OTG adapter with a pen drive and recognized it normally in the cell phone and became the only way to transfer his data to a pc using the otg adapter and a pen drive for this solution.
try closing google chrome on your laptop , then connecting your phone.

Good afternoon Lizzo !!
Boy, I thank you for the tip, but I've done it here and nothing ...
In fact I've tried I believe that everything ...
I have already restored the device and nothing to recognize on the PC.
I entered recovery connected to the pc and nothing to recognize.
I plugged in 2 different pcs and a notebook nothing.
I plugged in a 2011 Macbook air and nothing to recognize.
I plugged in normal USB 2.0 and 3.0 also nothing to recognize.
I called the multimedia in my car that mirrors the image of the cell phone and also nothing to recognize the cell phone.
Anyway it only charges when connected to any USB and the OTG function normally works because I connect a samsung adapter that I have and a pen drive and it recognizes normally ....
In other words, unfortunately a device of 400 USD that presents an idiotic defect like that of not connecting to the pc unfortunately ....
Even so I thank you for the tip and I'll keep an eye out to see if anyone else gives a tip.
Thank you all.
I have been thinking that I had the same problem, so I contacted the customer support and they told me to do this:

Hello
Enable dev mode by click 5 times in setting-about your phone, and search usb configuration in the sear bar, find default usb configuration and choose file transfile.
I tried it and it didn't work, so I tried everything I could think of and connected the phone to an old windows computer (I was using apple computers) and it worked, it seems that Mac os doesn't detect the phone while windows ones do.
So if you guys are trying with Mac os, maybe you had the same problem.
