[Q] Nexus 4 and Samsung TV ScreenMirroring

I can't connect my Nexus 4 with CM11(kitkat) to my Samsung Smart TV.
1. I select the option Screen Mirroring on the TV, it's says that it's waiting for the device so...
2. Settings>Display & lights>Screen Cast and there is the tv under the name [TV]Bed room
3. Select the TV and say connecting to Android_abc.. then Android_abc is connected and after 1 or 2 seconds the Screen Mirroring Close with the message: Screen Mirroring has terminated or finalazed (it's in spanish so..)
On developer options the option of HDCP - DRM I chose: Never. I read somewhere that with CM that option would work.
When I active the certification for the wireless screen, when I select the tv I send a message with a PIN then I recieve a message from the tv with another PIN.
Sometimes the tv show me a PIN that I should write on my device so the pop-up appears and I write the PIN but in all the cases th Screen Mirroring close.
PS: cm-11-20131217-NIGHTLY, update it today 12/18

Same problem over here... I read that we should use the "AllShare Cast" app from samsung for samsung devices. However this app was adapted for other devices but I find only dead link now...

KitKat Cast Screen

Anyone running Official KitKat or Custom 4.4 based ROM seeing in Settings>Display>Cast Screen option?

Yes, it is for streaming your display to a Miracast compatible TV, etc.
From Nexus site:
Some of this information applies only to devices running Android 4.4.
Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 10, and HTC One Google Play edition are compatible with devices that support the Wi-Fi Certified Miracast™ protocol for wireless display. To turn on the wireless display feature, go to SNP_BEE8810A5FCD80173673B4B15A1804EAEE99_3529219_en_v0Settings > Device > Display > Cast screen > SNP_2918040_en_v1 Menu, then check the box next to “Enable Wireless Display.”
You can cast the screen to wirelessly stream video and audio to a variety of displays and other devices that support Miracast - even when a standard Wi-Fi network isn’t available. For example, you can cast the screen to show your device’s screen on a TV equipped with a certified Miracast adapter.
For more information, see the documentation that comes with the Miracast-certified device you wish to use with your tablet or phone.

If one is lucky enough to have a rootled Google ChromeCast with the Team Eureka Custom ROM this feature is coming if you that option in your Display Settings. I'm not going back to stock just for that but just wondered if the N10 had it also.

I have a Nexus 10 running stock rom rooted. I can confirm it has this feature & working.

my nexus 7 not showing the option of enable wireless display
I have nexus7 and I have updated it to kitkat4.4.4 version on cast screen when I go to menu to select enable wireless display option so there is no option written enable wireless display but help option is coming

Connecting Moverio BT-200 to Windows 8 directly with Miracast

Hi all,
Did anyone succeed already to make the Moverio BT-200 be monitor for a Windows 8 PC using Miracast?
This is what I tried already. Apologies for not adding the weblinks, but the forum rules won't allow.
1) The problem is that the BT-200 has a qHD resolution of 960 x 540 which is not supported by Windows 8. Therefore, I set the DownScaling bit to 1 in the registry. (Start Regedit, find all occurrences of Display1_DownScalingSupported and set the value(s) to 1).
2) I then started Miracast on Windows 8: go to right bottom corner, in the menu select "Devices" / select "Project" / click the dimmed "Add a wireless display".
3) On the BT-200 start a "Moverio mirror" session. It takes some synchronization effort to get the two devices see each other and get connected (have some patience while trying).
In the end I got the two connected, but I only get a black screen on the BT-200. When I try to configure the modes (right click on the desktop / choose "Screen Resolution / click "Advanced settings" / "Adapter" tab / "List all modes" button), the only mode shown is 1280 by 720 at 60 Hz.
Any way how I can fool the modes into a 960 x 540 configuration? Even better: how can I set up the Miracast connection as primary screen at startup?
Oh, and yes, I do have an Epson Wireless Mirroring Adapter, but it's not showing me the proper graphics either. for that reason I tried making the direct Miracast connection built-in into Windows 8.
Any pointer greatly appreciated.
Kind regards.

Hi,
I don't have any of these devices yet. But I am considering purchasing them. Just for screencasting what the user is seeing. I understand that it probably cant show the "augmented view". But, does the mirroring adapter sink function work ? Can I atleast see whatever is being cast to the user on a big screen using this adapter ?
Thanks.

Hi aaaku,
Yes, the mirroring adapter that is sold with the BT-200 works pretty well, but it's a clumsy device that very much limits the useability of the BT-200. While the BT-200 is battery operated, the Wireless Mirroring Adapter needs an adapter. Connecting it to a power bank works, but it uses quite some energy. Moreover the double interface (device to Mirroring Adapter, and then the Miracast connection between the Adapter and the BT-200) takes quite some time to set up properly. If you lose connection on the go, it's a guessing work where you lost the image or where a cable got disconnected. All-in-all it's not that smooth as you would like it (for me it turned out a showstopper even), and that's the reason why I wanted to Miracast from a Raspberry Pi directly to the BT-200.
As stated higher another issue is the not-quite-standard 960 x 540 resolution of the BT-200. Yes, it's possible to connect a Windows PC to the Wireless Mirroring Adapter, and then display the image on the BT-200. The BT-200 will even show a very clear image even. Since 960 x 540 is not recognized by Windows (or Linux, tried that too) it will display at a higher resolution, and the Mirroring Adapter will do the 960 x 540 translation. Read: some resolution is lost. It e.g. makes selecting menus and doing configurations under Windows 8 rather difficult as it's pretty hard to read the menus. For image viewing it works well, though. The image is bright and clear, and the display does what it promises.

did you guys try to duplicate your fon screen to an external display? if yes, you need to go to the home app on fon n from there you can find to duplicate your screen to an external display which is connected to chrome cast accessory. or else, if you just want without chrome cast device, external display need to be connected to same wifi n either of them should have installed home app so that they can talk to each other.
for wifi printing install printer specific app to your mobile. Make sure that both printer n mobile are on same network (wifi) then it should work flawless.
I have tested all above methods (except smart tv one)
