[Q] Miracast and Netgear PTV3000

So after upgrading my N7 to 4.2 this morning, I stopped over at Best Buy to pick up their last Netgear PTV3000.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to get it to work but it could also be that I just don't know how to use Miracast on N7. Should the device just show up as another SSID?
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks,
Joey

Which app are you trying to "miracast" ?
The new Youtube has a "Pair with youtube TV" option. Perhaps you can try that ?

I actually found a few threads discussing how the miracast is still not there on the Nexus 7. Will just have to wait.
And it should be an exact mirror, not just certain apps

Now for the Bad News
Called Google support about Nexus 7, Miracast, PTV3000 problem. Level 1 didn't know about the feature. Level 2 couldn't figure out why the feature was not on my tablet. Level 3 said the feature is on the Nexus 4 - not quite ready for the Nexus 10 - and NEVER going to be on the Nexus 7. The main reason I bought this tab was for this feature ( I have poor eyesight ). Thanks for nothing Google! How about reimbursing me for the Tablet and Netgear adapter I bought because of your false advertising!

It doesn't seem to work on Nexus 4 either. N4 sees the adapter, but when I tap to connect, says "connecting" and never connects. Sigh Documentation of PTV3000 which is quite scarse says
*PTV3000 supports pre-standard compliant Miracast™ wireless enabled display devices.

which to me pretty much means 60 bucks spent for nothing..

Only the Nexus 4 is Miracast certified. The PTV3000 is not.

The PTV3000 doesn't work either with the Xperia T or V, even though Sony's product blog recommends it as Miracast dongle

The download has finally been posted! Firmware 2.1.5. Here is the link: http://support.netgear.com/product/PTV300
It seems that this is the same 2.1.5 that had the Miracast HDCP Authentication issue before. WiDi doesn't work either. You also have to switch between Miracast and WiDi. FAIL. Really disappointed with this. They even gave a big presentation at CES about how they are coming out with an update very soon. Way to go Netgear.

NEXUS4 :
PTV3000 miracast now works with the NEXUS 4, you just have to upgrade the PTV3000 firmware to the latest 2.2.9. It's a little slow to initially connect (~2min) but once it does it runs perfectly.
The NEXUS 7 with PTV3000 2.2.9:
I''m getting the following using PTV3000 2.2.9 trying to connect to Nexus 7 4.2.1:
From N7 wifi --> "Wi-Fi Direct": Peer Devices "Push2TV xxxxxx" available, click on it and then it goes to invited and then quickly to connected.
Once my N7 shows connected (above) my TV screen goes from Ready for connection to Connecting to wireless display device.... but the TV screen never goes past the connecting message.
I opened a trouble ticket with NetGear regarding the PTV3000/Nexus7 issue above and this is what I'm dealing with:
Per NetGear tech:
"Regarding your concern, as off now PTV3000 doesn't support Miracast so, it will not work with Nexus 7. We apologize for the inconvenience."
I responded to him with:
1) According to your NetGear PTV3000 Installation Manual the PTV3000 does support Miracast:
"Miracast Wireless Display
Push2TV now supports Miracast™ Wireless Display. To switch between Intel WiDi
and Miracast modes, press the button on the side of the Push2TV for 2 seconds.
You can then launch the wireless display application on a Miracast-compatible
smartphone, tablet, or laptop, and connect."
2) I also have a Nexus 4 that supports Miracast and it connects to the PTV3000 (although slow connecting) once connect it runs without any issues.
I'll let you know what transpires with the NEXUS 7 and PTV3000.

Refluga any luck?
How did it turn out for you Regluga? I saw your thread on Netgear support forums too, but didn't see any update after your last response. Were you ever able to get it to work? I am loving my Nexus 7 and need ability to mirror the output to my TV (Netgear/Miracast or any other means). Looking forward to your reply.
Cheers Bro!

How do I change resolution to 1080p, on Nexus7?

Tronsmart T428 Bluetooth issues?

I just received my new Tronsmart T428 from Geekbuying on Monday
The biggest problem I'm having though is getting any bluetooth keyboard or mouse to actually work on it. I can pair them all up - but they don't work.
I can pair them to my Nexus 7 and they work just fine (both the T428 and the N7 are running 4.2.2)
Kind of defeats the purpose of having it attached to the TV if I can't actually control anything without sitting within USB tethered range.
That being said - it works great with the Synology apps (DS Video/DS Audio) to get my media to the TV.....haven't tried xbmc yet but that's next up after I get this BT thing figured out....

I'm having the same issue with the Tronsmart T428. I can pair them to my Asus TF700 and they work fine. Any remidies to fix the issue?

I haven't found a solution yet - I was trying to roll back the firmware to 4.1.1 to see if that would fix it - but having problems finding the appropriate drivers to get it to work.
so basically - this is a really cool Android computer - that I have to sit next to my TV to use (wired mouse)

It's an awesome computer I agree. I'm downloading the 4.1.1 firmware as I speak. Have to see if I can get it to flash...

Good luck with that let me know if you manage to figure it out!

UPDATE: I managed to get it backdated to 4.1.1 - video playback is choppy (dropped frames?) but my BT keyboard/mouse works now..
I did get an email back from geekbuying finally...
hi frend
thanks for telling us the troubles u met
pls reset it to the factory first.
if it is the same , pls wait for days.
next week there will be a firmare of ROCKCHIP. to solve that troubles
after we get it ,we will upload to our blog
thanks for ur waiting in advance

so maybe this new firmware will fix it

I managed to get 4.1.1 installed as well. I didn't notice the choppy video using BS Player but it did fix my bluetooth problem although the bluetooth connection doesn't seem to be very strong. I can be 10 feet away from it and it won't hardly work. Wonder if my wifi is interfering wth it since the router is on the other side of the wall. Glad to hear rockchip is supposed to release an update.

There was a box to enable they keyboard but it was already checked...so it should've worked but it didn't. 4.1.1 solved the problem...must be a hardware/software issue somewhere.

Since on Android 4.1 it can work, so it must be a system problem, hope they can release a new firmware soon to fix it.
except that, a really little cool device!

I read somewhere that google replace in android 4.2.2 the bluez stack by a broadcom stack. It mean that some devices are not compatible anymore. Aparently broadcom will be better, but in the mean time some of us will have to use 4.2.1 and below to make our devices working. Broadcom will support bluetooth 4.0 and will be less power draining. I ckecked om google code and there lot of devices reporting not working anymore, we will have to wait until further upgrade.

Firmware May 30 fix
The new firmware relase May 30 fix the bluetooth issue :laugh:

[Q] Widi/Miracast working with Note 3?

I was just wondering if anyone used Widi/miracast with Note 3. I have LG TV with built in Widi, and its very neat, works really well with my laptop. I remember reading few months ago that we use that with Galaxy S4. So I assume it should be working with Note 3 but none of the reviews mention that.
Has anyone tried using it with Note 3? Does it work? If yes, how do we set this up?

Last Android phone I used was Galaxy S3 and that was on 4.1 (widi/miracast was included after 4.2 in android) so I personally have not tried it but I saw a video on youtube where he used S4 with netgear dongle and it worked. By that logic it should work with any widi enabled devise, but can't be sure untill someone tries it.

screencast works perfectly with my note3 and my belkin screencast hdmi-adapter!
the important trick is:
you have to long-click on the screencast device in in the screencast settings, then the option "connect with PIN" appears! with the PIN displayed on the TV you are now able to connect!

Can you list versions for me? I can't seem to get mine working.
I have Note 3 on US Cellular, Belkin Screencast A100 with firmware 3.5.28.0, and I've tried both the updated AllShare Cast Dongle S/W Update v1.2.2829 and the previous version (not sure what number though).
The adapter receives the pin request and displays a pin, and the phone asks for the pin and attempts to connect, but fails every time. I don't want to have to buy a new adapter as I use my Belkin for both my laptops and kinda doubt the Samsung model would be as compatible (although shouldn't they all be if they are all using the same standard? But whatever....). Any thoughts?

I have several miracast devices and receivers and note 3 and S4 and nexus 7 2013 work fine with net gear ptv 3000, lg bdp 3000 bluray player, Panasonic miracast streamer with usb port that supports 1tb hard disk etc. See proof in my YouTube uploads where I have several miracast uploads for note 3, s4, nexus 7, s3, Sony xperia zl, Intel widi laptop etc in my YouTube uploads. See my tag line below for more links than posted here or see some links here

Miracast works fine with screen mirroring toggle no need for allshare. Works fine in 1080p dolby sound. Works great on the s4 too for everything. See video proof in my YouTube upload called miracast better than chromecast on s4 where I show streaming gaming music etc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxSJ57Q3zak

I bought a Belkin Screencast about a year ago when I got my Sony Laptop which had Widi. I could make a connection, but it would disconnect every few minutes. It was useless. I ended up buying a long HDMI cable to connect my laptop to my TV. I never knew if the problem was with the Belkin or my Sony.
Forward one year.....
I found my new Nexus 7 has Miracast. Earlier today, I took my Belkin Screencast out of the closet and tried to connect it to my Nexus without any success. I then connected it to my computer and updated it's firmware from 2.9 to 3.5. After the update, my laptop wouldn't connect. It took lots of tries and may reboots until it finally connected. Then I tried my Nexus. Like you, I got to the security screen and entered the code, but it wouldn't go any further. Once again, after many reboots of both the Nexus and the Belkin, I finally connected! Mirroring worked great. I didn't have time to test thoroughly to see if it would disconnect, but it worked flawlessly for 5-10 minutes.
Don't know why making the initial connection was so difficult. I need to do further tests. Not sure if it's just the Belkin that's the problem. Sorry for butting in on this Note3 thread, but just wanted to share my Belkin Screencast experience with you since you have a similar problem.

I've done some further testing. The Belkin Screencast is going back in the closet as it's very unstable and unusable. Making the initial connection every time takes several attempts and reboots. Once connected, it loses connection every few minutes. It's just not worth it. The firmware upgrade hasn't made it any better. It performed the same with my Nexus 7 (2013) using Miracast and my Sony laptop using Widi.
Over the weekend I went to Best Buy and purchased the Rocketfish Miracast and the Netgear PTV3000. The Rocketfish looks like a Chromecast dongle. Both the Rocketfish and the Netgear performed very well as they would connect at the first attempt and did not lose the signal. Personally, I think the Netgear performed a little better than the Rocketfish and is a few dollars cheaper.
However, both the Rocketfish and the Netgear would stutter for a second or two every few minutes while watching streaming video and listening to audio. I watched a movie on Netflix using the Netgear and just stopped after 30 minutes as the stuttering gets bothersome. Also, after 30 minutes, a lip-synch error had occurred and seemed like it got worse with time. These tests were done with my 2013 Nexus 7. To test further, I used my Sony laptop (widi) to make the connection. The connection was smooth and there was no more stuttering every few minutes. So the stuttering issues may be a Nexus problem and this may perform very well with your Note3.
In my opinion, both the Rocketfish and the Netgear are great for mirroring. It's perfect for showing pictures, presentations, browsing the web, etc. But not the best for streaming audio/video. Of course, nothing is as dependable and reliable as the good old cable (slimport, MHL, or micro HDMI - whichever your device uses), but that means you have to run a cable across the room.
For streaming Netflix, Youtube, Google Music, Pandora, and Hulu, Chromecast leads the way. No stuttering or lip-synch issues at all. It also allows multi-tasking - such as watching a Netflix movie and checking your e-mail on your tablet/phone without interrupting the movie. It also saves the battery life since you can put your phone/tablet in sleep mode and continue to watch the movie. Another plus is how the Chromecast dongle gets the movie directly from your router than your phone/tablet (hence why you can multi-task, save battery life, etc.). In my book, these are a huge plus for Chromecast, even making it better than a direct cable connection. But of course the big downside is that you need specific apps and mirroring is not an option.
It's sad that you really need two devices to become whole! I would keep both the Chromecast and the Netgear to have all bases covered.

I wasn't aware Chromecast supported Netflix... interesting, I just may have to get that $35 dongle then.
My Belkin Screencast has worked flawlessly with my two Lenovo's, x230t and w530. I can watch full screen youtube/netflix on my computer while running a VM, movie or even some full screen games on my laptop's screen (Doesn't play well with DirectX full screen, or so it seems... I forget the specific name for that....)

It could be my Belkin is just a bad unit. But since it's been over a year since my purchase, I'm out of luck.

i have two dongles, Samsung allsharecast dongle and a dongle from Taiwan.
my old S4 i9500 on 4.2.2 connected on both and performance was very smooth on the Taiwanese dongle but there was lag on the Samsung dongle and sometimes audio and video are not in sync (if didn't use the default video player)
after updating to 4.3 performance degraded on both dongles and the phone automatically switches off the power saving mode (which didn't happen on 4.2.2)
i noticed that when you move further away from the dongle or cover the phone with your hand the playback gets choppy and sometimes disconnects (didn't happen on 4.2.2)
with note 3 n9005 i can't connect to the Taiwanese dongle (tried to connect daily for two weeks and only got it to connect 2 or 3 times) . only Samsung's dongle is working and it has the same issues of the s4 running 4.3
friend's s3 i9300 connected to both dongles but didn't have a chance to test performance
"device status has to be official, if you are rooted you can use wanam xposed to fake system status to official"
update:
note 3 connecting after update to 4.4.2, maybe my 4.3 had a bug
samsung allshare cast dongle is laggy
other miracast adaptors are fine
i ordered a measy A2W dongle and it is on the way

Hi all,
I have a Smart TV Panasonic DT60 series, but I'm no able to connect using my Note3.
Any one have successful connected the Panasonic SmartTV with the Note3 and miracast?
Thanks

Samsung All-Share Cast Hub
Just wanted to update everyone that I also tried the OFFICIAL miracast device by Samsung, the All-Share Cast Hub, and it didn't even work well. It did connect I'll give it that, but whenever I tried playing video (via youtube or video player app) it would play the audio but both screens would just be black, and there was an incredibly noticable delay in sound compared to the video stream. Netflix showed the video just fine, but it was out of sync by several seconds.
Needless to say, the hub was returned.

Need HDHR user's help

I need someone who uses an HDHD for live TV on the Nexus Player to check if they can still connect to the HDHR or not. I am unable to connect to it on either of my Nexus players or on my Nexus phone, all of which are on Android 6.0.1 with Jan 1st security patch. My Android 5.1.1 tablet and windows PC has no issues so I suspect it's an incompatibility issue with either Android 6.0.1 or the most recent security patch. If it's confirmed I'm going to need to figure out how to roll back to a version that still works...

mine is also working fine. HDHR-Prime. I would just make sure that whatever app youre using for it, and the FW on the box are all up to date, and that the CC is pushed in completely. beyond that most issues ive had have been fixed by unplugging it, waiting, and plugging it back in.

I have HDHR Prime with comcast cable card plugged in and HDHomerun android app installed from google store on the Nexus Player. Video is good, audio is only stereo. But the stream - both video and audio freeze - frequently. I then have to switch over to the another channel, select that channel and then move back to the original channel. Not sure whether my router - running 5Ghz and wireless N - is the culprit and not able to handle the HDHR video streams. All other apps, Netflix, Sling TV etc never have any issues streaming.

it's because it's wireless. I have 3 NPs...2 are hardwired and rarely have issues. one is wifi (5ghz) and even though it's about 15 feet from the router freezes and stutters frequently.

Thank you all. The problem was with the WiFi connection. I still don't know what was wrong exactly, but after I renamed the wifi and connected all devices over the 5ghz band they are all working now. It just seemed odd that I could connect to Lollipop and windows devices but not to marshmallow. But that was just a coincidence.

I came across this same issue, I'm not running my nexus tv over wireless, I've added an OTG usb cable, a powered usb switch, and a usb to 10/100/1000 lan adapter and noticed i was having this problem after I upgraded the firmware on my Linksys Wrt1200ac router from stock to ddwrt, I then remembered part of the setup for the hdhr prime was to make sure your router isn't filtering multicast (will be in your firewall settings). Once i changed that setting and rebooted my router I no longer had the freeze and fail symptoms.

Thanks for your answere. If I go to security/firewall page. I do see "Multicast" is being filtered. But the setting is appearing under WAN. I disabled so that Multicast is not being filtered. No luck. The HDHR view app still shows all channels. Plays very well both audio/video for a period of time - no stuttering or glitch - sometimes few minutes and sometimes more than an hour, without any hitch. But then video freezes - no audio as well. I have to navigate to a different tv channel and select the same channel again. It works then.

I replaced my router - Linksys WRT610NV1 (300Mbps Wireless N) with Trendnet TEW-811DRU AC1200. While there are lot negative reviews for the TEW-811DRU, it has worked very nicely for my needs. No more freezes. The router I believe can get pretty hot. Since it is winter time, it may not matter much. I will wait till summer to see whether there are issue because of that. For the price I paid < $20 it is a great buy even if it works for a very short time.

LG V20 and Miracast problems

I can't get my LG V20 to connect to any of my Miracast enabled devices. I have a LG WebOS TV and a LG PH150G Projector and can't get either one to connect. On the Projector, the phone will find it just fine, but when it connects the projector will get stick at Signal Detection. On the LG WebOS TV it will just get stuck on connecting. Any solutions?
SOLVED for me at least! It is a conflict with the App 'AllCast' by clockworkMod. Once I uninstalled the app Miracast works!

I had the same problem trying to get the V20 to connect to a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter. Suggestions would be appreciated!

That's odd. I have a 4k tv with chromecast integrated and also have an ezcast 4k dongle and both of them allow me to use DLNA and also screen mirroring. Currently using Weta Rom.

I think I can solve this one for u. Go into wifi settings and forget your home network(s). Restart phone. Now try to connect to dongle by selecting screen sharing from settings. Let me know. It always works for me

Tried your suggestions, but they didn't work. I am using the Tmobile variant of this device with the Dec. patch update.

I had trouble with miracast too a few months back. Gave up and just used smart share to watch my movies on my phone. I could look into it again and see if I can figure it out.
Edit.. Just hooked up fine first try. Mines not a webos but it is an lg 3d smart tv.

What version of the phone do you have (Carrier)? I have tried to connect to 4 different TV's and Miracast devices without success.
I just tried using Miracast in 'Safe Mode' and it almost works, The status bar changes to blue, and my projector now gets to starting stream, but eventually disconnects.

T-Mobile. I'm on a custom rom but don't thik that is the issue. Have you factory reset your phone yet? I know no one likes doing that, but might solve your issue. It's definitely the phone though and not your other devices. I know the first time I connect it makes me enter in a code from the tv, but after that it remembers the connection. Try going into your tv menu and see if you can connect from the tv to phone side as opposed to phone to tv.. Should have a menu option for it on all your lg devices that are miracast equipped.
Ok never mind saw you fixed it.
