[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?

So far the Netgear PTV3000-100NAS Push2TV is the only adapter device with Miracast built in. However, from what I've read nobody has been able to get it to work with the N4. There is suppose to be a firmware update for it coming soon.

Screen mirroring not working with my TV - help

Hello,
I am trying to get screen mirroring working between my LG smart TV and s4. I am sure people will say it can't be done with non Samsung products, but check this link from YouTube. video
The problem I have is that the TV can find my S4, but the phone refuses to find the TV. Is there anything I have missed somewhere?
The TV offered to open a screen mirroring connection to the phone, but the phone never displays a dialogue and the mirroring fails.
Has anyone managed to screen mirror to a device other than Samsung? The TV fully supports dlna and miracast, but it's the miracast screen mirroring I am most interested in.
Thanks,
Andy

Yes, it does work with a LG Smart TV. I have it too. But only if you use a fully stock Rom or a Google Edition Rom like the untouched one from MakTail with it's default kernel. Also cm10.2 Roms are working great with then called Wireless Display. I love my AOSP browser on big screen

It is the other way around. The phone screen should be visible on your TV.

Sorry i should have said it more clearly;
When i select screen mirroring on my S4 the TV does not show as an available to device to mirror to. They are on the same wifi network.
If i scan from the TV for mirror devices then the S4 shows up. The TV attempts to set up a connection but the S4 does nothing.

In you TV settings does the TV show the word Miracast or only WiFi Direct? It only works if your TV really shows Miracast otherwise you can only use apps on your TV like Youtube and casting button.

Ok, so assuming that connectivity works fine, based on the fact the TV can see the phone, why doesnt the phone connect with the miracast compatible tv?

Don't but many devices don't play well with others. Is your TV maybe a "draft" Miracast compliant one??

Nope. I successfully connected my Nexus 4 to my 55' F6500 last fall. After i updated to Kitkat (vanilla and CM11 tested) screen mirroring stopped working.
Same with my Sony Xperia Tablet Z. Worked with 4.1.2 - stopped working with Kitkat.
It seems liek samsing TV's don't like Kitkat right now.

Allso a Slimport cable will do.

Cast screen option in display settings

Hey guys I just noticed yesterday in the display options is an option called cast screen. When pressing this option it says no devices found.
My question is with this option available does this mean I can mirror my tablet to my tv? And if so will chromecast support this or do I need a miracast adaptor?
I have the first nexus 7(2012) model on 4.4.2
Thanks in advance

Or can someone please explain what this cast screen option is for as I cannot seem to find it on google

I have the same question. I noticed this option on my Nexus 5 but not sure if it was there on 4.4 or showed up on 4.4.1 or 4.4.2. Hopefully somebody chimes in.

I tried to get it working with my Netgear PTV3000, but it wouldn't work. I'm assuming it only works with a Chromecast adapter.

Just Google. Android display setting cast screen
....the answer is there...forthcoming screen mirroring for Chromecast.

I read two sources stating that chromecast will soon have screen mirroring but how reliable are the sources? I have ordered one anyway so hopefully mirroring does come to chromecast. Until then I'm happy to view what's available so far

Cast screen works perfectly between Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 and Sony 42W650A... Sometimes, the connection fails while casting but hey, it works
It is supposed to be Miracast. If you have a receiving device that supports it, it should work.

Cast screen isnt only for Chormecast, its for all Miracast devices. I have 2013 Smart Tv from Samsung and SGS4 i9505 with CM11 and still cant get it working. I managed it only one times, and I dont know how :crying: (I had in developer options turned on Wireless display certification, and then in Cast screen option have many more options, but i dont know working combination now)
Anyone can help?

New Cast Screen option (4.4.2) replaces the Wireless Display option which was there (on Moto X) before KK. [Settings/Display/Wireless Display]...
It works on my Nexus 7 2013 to cast to my LG Smart TV 42LN575V....the screen is mirrored perfectly, in Miracast mode, not Chromecast, direct mirror of phone screen on TV.

Cast not working on Vivokat 4.4.2 (Incredible S)
My Incredible S with Vivokat 4.4.2 build #4 can't see my WiFi dongle (T516 from W2Corp). This dongle works with DLNA, Airplay and Miracast. The phone can't see my computer with Airplay server running as well. If I use any application such as iMediaShare or Streambels, Airplay works as it should, both to the computer and to my dongle. I am not fully aware of what Cast ought to support. Is it only Miracast or is it both Miracast, Chromecast and Airplay. Can anyone help clear this and have any good idea on how I get Cast to see my devices?

Did it work with Chromecast? That's the only reason why I want to get one.

Just an fyi for anyone looking at this thread or the OP this is now available after the chromecast update yesterday

I didn't realise this was supposed to be working with the n7 2012, bit it worked for me this evening! Anyone else?

Chromecast Mirroring support didn't work for me on my Nexus 7 2012 that I upgraded to 4.4.4 last night. It does work on my Note 3 phone however and works well.
The google support page says that it has support for the Nexus 7 2013 version though. I don't know anyone that has one though to see if that is true.

The Wireless Display/Cast Screen under Display Settings is MiraCast only. I just tried it with my Chromecast and it doesn't work. You can only mirror your screen to Chromecast by using the latest Chromecast app.
On some devices, screen mirroring is disabled in the Chromecast app, but you can use this app here to enable it
