Miracast to Sony TV ?

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has been able to screen mirror via miracast their Tab S to a non Samsung TV without using a dongle (to a miracast capable TV)?
Thank you for taking the time to look and especially if you can help!
-T

Yes,
I was able to connect my Tab S 10.5, 32GB version to a Sony KDL-65W850A television without any dongles, or problems at all.

You bet! All I had to do was turn on the screen mirroring by pushing the "screen mirroring button" located in the drop down menu(the toolbar that shows up when you pull down the notification bar, sorry, I can't think of the actual name of the menu right now). Then go to your TV and go to the input menu and scroll over to the right and you should see an input for a wireless device, or something to that effect. Click on that input and it will start searching for your tablet. The first time I had to restart the scan from my tablet because the television didn't find it. Almost instantly after restarting the scan from my tablet, the television found it. I'm not by my TV now, but if I remember correctly, the very first time you try to connect a new device, the TV comes up with a list of devices and you have to click on the tablet. After the TV has successfully connected with a device, all that needs to be done next time is simply turn your mirroring on, and click the wireless device input on your TV, and it will connect without having to choose your device from a list. That's all I had to do. Good luck!

Sounds good! I have a w905, so hopefully it works as well as for you. Thanks for the help!

Just got my Samsung Tab S 10.5 last night. Have a Sony KDL-55HX800 tv.
I followed your instructions above, but my tv is not detected by the tablet.
Both the tablet and tv are on the same network.
Is my tv too old?
Any help, greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I did a little checking around for you. From what I read on Sony's website, it looks to me like a USB adapter is required for a wireless network connection. The adapter is a UWA-BR100, but after doing some research on the adapter, it looks like it won't work for miracast. Now, I couldn't find it on Sony's website, but several people made the comment that the adapter specifications state that it does support miracast, although nobody seemed to have been able to get it working. It may be possible to wirelessly stream through the adapter, but I wasn't able to find anybody that had been successful. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have a Chromecast, and am hoping the Tab S gets the update for screen mirroring that way. Just thought I might be able to do it before the update.

Disable WiFi? ? ?

Hi
Does anyone know a way to keep WiFi from switching ON?
Iv'e tried the settings.apk to turn it OFF but it seems to reactivate itself. Or another app is switching on.
Trying to find an app that will do it, but no luck so far.
This would be simple on a regular android device.
I prefer a wired connection and would like the WiFi to stay OFF.
Thanks

Just go to Settings/System/Network & press the 3 _ line button for any Wifi Network you had saved. Now it should not be able to connect to any Wifi. And it shouldn't try as long as you have an Ethernet cable plugged in...

I was able to get it to forget my network as you suggested.
The FireTV seems to have the WiFi signal turned on even when connected through ethernet.
I've tried a few WiFi manager apps to disable WiFi completely.
My WiFi signal detector always shows a signal from the AFTV, except when it's unplugged.

Yeh - I think I have the same issue. My connection showing wired, I ran a speedtest and getting 45mb (I have 120mb braodband).
The Remote App also works which tells me I am still wireless.

Disable wlan module ? ?
I tried to disable the wifi module (wlan.ko in /system/lib/modules) by renaming it, but it just created a new copy.
There must be an app to freeze or disable somewhere.

Wonder if one only uses the Wired option since the first Setup will it make a difference.. Doubt it.. But wonder... Maybe it has to do with the new FW that includes the Remote app support...

The remote is bluetooth.

just a thought, but maybe an app like d-vasive would do the trick... just disable wifi through the app (and leave bluetooth on for the remote)

The Amazon Fire TV stick broadcasts its own wireless signal even while connected via ethernet.
Peer-reviewed scientific papers on health effects of wireless radiation are abundant. Here's 1: ehtrust.org/science/research-on-wireless-health-effects/
Kids are way more vulnerable because they absorb way more radiation. Pisses me off that I can't see a way to disable it. IoT devices should come with a way to disable broadcasting a signal and default set to 'off'!
Does anyone know of a way to disable the function that makes the Amazon Fire TV stick broadcast it's own IoT wireless signal?
Any help would be much appreciated! thanks

I’m looking for a way to disable it as well. Thanks for any info.

I would also like to disable wifi on the firestick as well. I do not want wifi signals coming from the firestick trying to find a wifi connection if it is plugged in via ethernet. I am trying to avoid EMFs exposure.

I, too, would like to know how to completely turn off the Fire TV stick wi-fi signal.

The remote is WFD (Wifi Direct, not Bluetooth) and there is no way to turn this off. Wifi for data is off when it is plugged in as wired.

I too have got rid of EVERYTHING wifi or bluetooth in my home.
I was hoping i could disable bluetooth and wifi completely on the fire tv stick 4k.
I am using my infrared TV remote to control it through CEC.
I connected to it remotely via ADB and executed these two commands
adb shell settings put global bluetooth_on 0
adb shell svc wifi disable
Unfortunately although the commands seemed to work, the fire tv is still emitting huge amounts of EMF.
Any clever people here have any ideas to disable Bluetooth and wifi completely ?
Thanks in advance

For anyone who is interested I found a way to disable WiFi and Bluetooth and it is VERY simple.
WARNING :
Disabling Bluetooth will make your Firestick remote unusable until Bluetooth is turned back on.
Restarting the firestick used to re-enable bluetooth but this is no longer the case, so be careful and,
Make sure you have another way to navigate before turning Bluetooth off. ( CEC or FireTV app )

Search for and install "downloader" on the fire stick
Use downloader to download and install an app called "Smart Quick Settings" available here.
I used version 2.71 but the apk is available other places too, aswell as other versions.
You could alternatively use a normal web browser on the firestick instead of downloader to download the smart quick settings app but you will then need a file explorer app to find your downloaded apk and install it.
Make sure you can control the firestick with CEC or other means, a guide for enabling CEC is below.
How to Enable HDMI-CEC on Your Fire TV

I have confirmed using my RF meter that it is no longer transmitting anything at all bluetooth or wifi.
Hope this helps someone

Turning off the Bluetooth on your Fire TV and keeps turning on that you gets hijacked on Bluetooth is called Bluejacking.
To disable the Bluetooth completely that you don't needed. You have to disable the Bluetooth Share app on it.

One thing to watch though is if you restart the fire stick or shut it down then bluetooth automatically turns itself back on, as long as you remember to just go back into "smart quick settings" and turn it back off then its no problem but personally i set my tv CEC settings to not send shut down or wake up commands so when i turn my tv off the fire stick just stays on all the time.
Only if it needs a restart for updates does it get restarted.
Hope this helps someone

Hi, I have used the above method to try and turn off wifi on firestick and everything has gone well with "smart quick settings" now on the firestick as an app but when I get onto the page with all the different settings on it it wont let me scroll down to wifi settings to turn it off(it wont let me scroll down to any of the settings on page 1 or 2). Would appreciate any help on how to overcome this or if anyone has found a different method to disable wifi/Bluetooth settings on the Kindle firestick,
Thanks Barney

It doesn't look like anything is moving but it actually is.
For bluetooth I think i just press the down button 3 times ( just count how far down it is) and the click select on the remote and you will see it toggle the setting on and off.
to turn it back on you have to press right after going down to the option, again you don't see anything move but it does move.

Thanks for the reply,
Tried it but when we click on it to try and alter Bluetooth it automatically switches
from Smart Quick settings to the firestick settings page and when we try to alter Wifi settings it sends us to the firestick network page which shows we are connected to Ethernet, when we press select on this it asks for an IP address-unsure which IP address to put in.

I see the option, but I can't get it to scan for my smart TV.. Anyone else having this problem?

My lg g3 could stream to television without it. So can my wife's Note3. Why can't this? Makes no sense when it has the option. Also, if you go to the "help and feedback" it says option to enable wireless display should be in the same drop down menu, but it's not there either.

are you talking about screen mirroring (all your phone screen into the tv screen) or stream 'media' (video, photo, etc...)?

Screen mirroring. My mistake, I didn't know there was a difference. I know different companies (Samsung, Lg, etc) all have there own names so I figured it was a relative term. My apologies.

This is why:

Sorry, didn't post the pic

Really?!? No screen mirror? That's just crap. Looks like I'll have a nexus for sale early next year.. We use our phones for everything. Television, hotspot, etc. We're on VZW UDP so we say no to the cable companies.

it seems you guys are not the only experiencing this issue....

Thank you for that link. Also hoping they don't remove the feature. If they do this phone would be a step down from my LG G3 as well.

I have a Sony Bravia Android TV. The cast function works.
I hit the button to cast, and my phone's screen is on the TV screen.
There is slight lag, but it's good enough for sharing pics, vids, or basic phone functions. I don't think it'd be good for gaming.

Have you tired this:
Root is required
Navigate with a file manager or root explorer to your build.prop file located at /system/build.prop
and add the following line to the file:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
Save your build.prop file and reboot your device
You should now see Settings > Display > Cast Screen > Menu > Enable Wireless Display

android TV and chromecast will just work fine for screen mirroring, but they do not use Miracast protocol.

Hi all,
Screen mirroring used to work fine even with DP5 with build.prop trick.
Now on 7 my TV LG55 disconnects before mobile screen appear. Mobile can "see" my TV (even two more from the neighbour) but while on connecting... I get a message on TV that "Device Disconnected".
I tried all type of settings on TV with no luck.
Any suggestions?

I still didn't find any apps that have this feature. I just installed the Stock ROM again after completely wipe data and factory reset in stock recovery. Then turn off the battery saving mode and tap on Quick Connect section. I get the sound and the image. My phone model is N910H.
Only problem is the poor reception of some TV channels. Voice boosting programs are also mostly fake, and I think it needs root access that it will stop this feature.
I hope you find a way to solve your problem.

Screen projection

Hello guys,
Just got this phone today, I saw some clip on youtube about screen projection of this phone and when I try it, it said I have to download Lebo screen projection client and scan QR code.
So where can I download that? I try google it and didn't found any.
Do you have solutions?
Thanks in advance.

I'm like you, can't find this software. But I can connect to my mibox through the native screen projection.
Best regards

Hi, In windows 10 there is an option on screen settings to "mirror to this device" (I translate more less because I'm spanish and SO is in spanish), later in RM5g you have to enable the option to cast, that can be find in other connections (make a search in settings), then if the pc and the mobile is connected to the same network you will see the mobile.
To connecto to android tv or mibox, just make a search in cast options on RM5g, the list will appear at the end.
Remember to stay connected always at the same network.
Best regards.
