Using Miracast with LG smart tv - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey. i am using Miracast to play videos on the tv. the tv model is LA6600 and its one of the latest models. i experience lag while using it so i cant play games on my TV. and when i use it it takes a second to respond. is it because of the tv or my phone? thanks for answers

It's because of the technology and this behaviour is normal using miracast.

thanks. i saw this link while looking for it so i though it should play with min delays. i mean i wish i could play games on a bigger screen.

a bit offtopic but...
Is there any way to use miracast on my smart tv? When I do not have wifi dongle on the tv, I'm using patch cable to connect tv to router and wifi to connect G2 to the same router.
Is there any "trick" to mirror G2 screen to TV? (Ican watch pics and movies directly on tv with smartshare function) But I cannot mirror the screen

If your tv support miracast it should work I think.

my LG smart TV supports miracast, G2 supports miracast, but the TV does not have WiFi module It's been connected with patch cable to the router and when I try to start miracast from the phone it does not "find" my TV
any ideas what I'm doing wrong ?

I have no idea. Search for network requirements needed for miracast to work. Maybe you'll find something useful.

How do I connect my Nexus 7 with my TV?

Basically, once I get my Nexus 7 (Tuesday) I'd love to play games like Dead Trigger and Shadowgun on a big display with my PS3 controller. I know that I can get the sixaxis controller app working but I have no idea how I'll display the image off my laptop onto the TV (which is not a smart TV) and (if possible with some sort of splitter charge at the same time). I'd really appreciate it if somebody could help me.
Bump! Anybody know? I wanna do this too.

Mhl but the n7 doesn't support it

Don't think Nexus 7 supports output to TV

MHL = nope
But you can check this out:

what about wifi direct?
Pretty sure its just for file transfer, but I don't have a TV that supports it to test. There's no MHL so you can scratch that. This thing by HTC has been the only thing I've seen that lets you do some stuff, but seems pretty limited
You can use the stupid expensive pricey nexus q

Any way to stream Netflix to TV?

No idea if this has been asked before... Just wondering.

dont think so
The 10 hasn't been set up with miracast yet. So I believe the answer is no. You gotta have Google TV also for miracast to work. So the only idea I can think of is micro HDMI to HDMI to TV.

Miracast has nothing to do with Google TV however, HDMI will work.
Does the android tablets act as stupid as the ipad does when you connect it to the tv? I dont want the screen of my tablet to stay on and waste battery while its playing in the tv thru HDMI.

The Infinity when connected to TV through HDMI when playing a movie the screen on the Infinity will shut off or go on a screen saver mode. I'm not sure about the N10.
Edit:Now that I have my N10. Hdmi works flawless. Mirrors everything even on bootscreen. Netflix runs just fine through hdmi cord to tv.

How doesn't it? Doesn't the tablet need the Google TV WiFi connection to "miracast" on to the TV?

Miracast is not a google invention, it's a wifi alliance standard using wifi direct to connect any two devices, not necessarily a tv

Roku 3 supports Miracast?!

So I got an email about the new Roku 3. Says to support Miracast.
I'm going to buy the unit as soon as Walmart carries it. (Most likely to use it for a while and return it since I have a wdtv)
Anyone have plans to buy one? Anyone have one yet? Can't wait for something with real Miracast support so we can use it with out Nexus 4's.

Yeah not bad for $99.
I hope you will let us know if you are able to use miracast on it with your phone.
So does it support miracast out of the box? I thought I read it would be a firmware update at a later time.

Re: Roku 3 supports Miracast
Roku didn’t want to comment about Miracast at the time and didn’t mention the technology in its Roku 3 press material. However, both the Streaming Stick and the new Roku 3 support Wi-Fi Direct, a technology Miracast is based on, so we shouldn’t be too surprised to see both get a Miracast update some time in the near future.

Have you gotten it yet and tried it out?
Miracast
My Roku 3 shows up on the network with a wifi direct id. If I try to connect to it, it prompts for a password. I can not find any setting for this and have no idea what the password is. Doe anyone know what software will be needed on the PC to spport Miracast? I have a Atheros wifi adapter with Miracast support in my laptop.
Hey guys, the roku broadcasts a SSID but it looks like it's used for wifi direct to pair with the remote. I can't seem to find any settings relating to miracast and the unit won't show up when I scan for displays on my Nexus.

I found a neat trick to connect, I noticed the SSID it broadcasts says (WPS available). So I figured they are using WPS to link the remote to the roku. So if you go on the roku, start up remote pairing, and click the WPS button on your phone, it connects.
However no wireless displays show up in the phone settings and I have yet to find a benefit to connecting directly.
Still no Miracast support. Sigh.

Sadly I think this is a classic case of false advertising. I've just finished reading a bunch of pre release press materials and even a video claiming the roku3 was doing mirroring from the PC.... looks like it's all lies.

Connect Nexus 4 to TV

Hey guys!
I was wondering if there was any way to connect my phone to my PC. I know about Slimport and Miracast wireless display technology but unfortunately, we don't get slimport adapters here in India and my TV doesn't have miracast support (AFAIK). The TV is a Sony Bravia 32bx350. Is there any way i can mirror my phone on my TV?? Thanks!
Chromecast

You can buy a miracast box or Chromecast.

Chromecast won't mirror your phone. At this point all it will do is stream YouTube, Netflix, and Play content.
I am afraid slim port and miracast are your only options.

mhl adapter question.??

hello to all
being that the mhl cable won't work on s7 edge does anybody knows if this would work before i buy one=
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Belkin-Mira...26031c3460c4f&pid=100507&rk=1&rkt=1&#shpCntId
From my understanding mhl is not enabled in s7. Mirrorcasting should work though to stream video and audio.

I hate that it seems like current Android OS doesn't support MHL. This is one of the reason I kept my iPhone. Its a bad idea to have to use WIFI to stream a video and then have to use it to cast a video at the same time.
What are you looking to do?

Would the Samsung micro usb to hdmi adapter do the job?
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
nope it is not supported on the edge 7 i still have my old one from the galaxy s5 no go
well the Belkin Miracast Video Adapter HDMI For Android or Windows came today works fine with my s7 edge and my dell laptop and tablet so i guess no need for a mhl cable adapter. very happy camper today
Chromecast is a nice cheap option as well.
