Xperia link between Z & Z4 no screen mirror option - Xperia Z General

Hi. I have a C6603 with a dead screen (backlight and touchscreen work, and when connected to TV using HML everything is visible). I decided to use the phone as an IP camera and thought I could set everything up from my Z4 using the mirror screen option that I get when I connect my Z3 to my Z4. But, alas, when paired and connected the Xperia link app on the Z4 doesn't offer me the mirror screen option for the Z.
Any help or alternative suggestions welcome (including repair options).
TIA.
Phil.

Screen Mirroring not working with Sony Bravia TV.

I have been trying to get my Note3 to work with my Sony KDL55W900A, and no luck. If I go to the "wifi direct" menu, it sees the TV but never connects. In the screen mirroring menu, it never finds the TV. I've tried everything I can think of, and no luck. Has anybody else not been able to discover their TV with their Note 3?
Roms: Stock OTA and Hyperdrive. (Both have issue.)

Miracast support for all devices with new update!

Under settings in the display menu it is now possible to mirror any device that supports Miracast to your fire tv. It works amazingly, i was able to mirror movies and games from my nexus 5 to my Firetv without hardly any lag. Its a lot better than Chromecast.
I ran into one problem. I could not get my surface pro 3 to connect to the FireTV. It sees the fire Tv and installs a driver when trying to connect but then never connects.
Can anyone get there Microsoft Surface to mirror to their FireTV, or any other Windows laptop?
List devices that you get to connect to the fire TV and which ones wont connect.
My Galaxy Note 3, SIII and Nexus 7 (2013) all connected great. I've been looking for this feature since I got the FTV, never found an app that mirrored the screen fully, its awesome!
On a downside note I had to roll back firmware until netflix gets fixed.

Great news, now just waiting for a working pre-rooted version of the newest firmware.
Sadly it doesnt work with my LG G2
Is your FTV rooted and does it work without root? Mine is unrooted, how can I mirror my N5's display?
My FTV is unrooted and it works with my rooted S4

On which firmware are you running? Can you post any further details how to connect your phones screen?

This feature was added in with the latest update, version 51.1.4.0_user_514006420. You can see a screenshot in my update overview.

Yes it works without root. Go to the settings page, click on display, then on screen mirror.
On your nexus 5 go to settings, then display, cast screen, then click the 3 dots to open aditional options at the top of the screen, click enable wireless display. Now the FireTV should show up in the list.
Seems to bee buggy for me. I only was able to connect my N7 once.
Just tested this feature when I updated to the pre-rooted 51.4.0 firmware. Working great on my One+ One phone. Watching something off plex app right now with no lag at all.
I can't mirror my screen from my rooted Xperia Z1 to my unrooted fireTV. Anybody else having trouble?

I would say that in almost every way its a lot worse than chromecast.
Its laggy, its low quality in both video and audio, it requires that you remain on the app you want to stream.
It also requires that you put the FTV in receiver mode which is a pain too.
In contrast chromecast offers HD/SuperHD video with DD+ sound with 100% perfect sync (because it is not syncing at all its direct) and has no requirement for the phone to be on the same app .. or even on at all after the video has been started.
If you want laggy horrible screen mirroring then chromecast supports that as well, in exactly the same manner and quality as miracast.
...
Its nice to see some things being added to the FTV but this is not one that I will be ever using again now that I tested it once.

hanks guys, found the option in FTV and my Nexus shows it as a wireless display. If I try to connect to the FTW if asks meif I would allow the connection. Selection yes or accept (can't remember now ^^) will not bring my mirror my phones screen. The phone seems trying to connect to the FTV and cancels the connection. Then my FTV disappears from the screenmirroring list in my Nexus 5 and reappears after some seconds. But it seems to be impossible to establish a connection. Runng Nexus 5 with 4.4.4 stock Android (rooted) FTV unrooted. Restarted both devices, still no luck with screen casting.
I called the Amazon service and the first solution which they told me was to reset the fireTV. That solved this issue. Yet I can mirror my screen from my rooted Xperia Z1 and I can tell you that Miracast is only good for pictures. If you want to play high definition audio and video, use Allcast. It's much better! What I'm only missing is a mirror function in the Allcast APP.

I tried this, reset the fire TV. But still no luck with my N5 and N7. only one time i connected my N7 successfull. Maybe its a firmware fault and they can fix it.
Just a reminder... Both the FireTV & Device need to be on the same network for best results... Although not required.

I don't think so. I turned of my WiFi so the aftv and Nexus5 were both without WiFi. I could see the firetv for sharing display and the firetv shows that a device would connect. But not successful. Miracast opens his own WiFi I think. I got an netgear PTV 3000 miracast reciver and all my devices can connect fine, without being on the same WiFi.

Same here. My phone and Fire TV are in the same network (everything else would be silly) and restored my FTV to default settings. Still no luck with Miracast and my Nexus 5
It's so strange, today I have the same issue before the reset of my fireTV yesterday...
I think it's a software related problem. Both devices use the same network with 5 GHz WiFi. I will test later another situations like turning WiFi off on my Z1.

Wireless or cable sync

So how are you all syncing your Z2 on Windows?
Today I got the Sony PC companion working with Z2.
Are you all using Media go for your music need and syncing? If other, can you share which one?
I downloads Celmentine player, I don't know if it will sync with my Z2 wireless. I also have an ipod
Wouldn't be it easier just to plug your phone and copy music to your MicroSD or internal storage?
That's how I do it and never have a problem with any music player finding those songs I copy it to any phone I have including Z2.
Just plug in Z2 to pc, copy, unplug and ready to go without PCC.
Sometimes I even use wireless connection to PC if I'm lazy and don't want to grab a cable.
Still works without the problem.
As much as possible i am using my dock and wireless ftp app for wireless. It is easy ones you get it. Since the flaps of z2 is not reliable as my previous z phone. And also I want to retain its rubber tightness as much as possible.

Remote play finally working with unlocked bootloader

Hi guys,
I can confirm remote play is finally working with an unlocked bootloader running Android lollipop 5.0 on Xperia Z3 compact. Prior to the update I was unable to get it working on my Xperia z3 compact as I received error messages when logging in,though it was working just fine on my other phones from other brands (Samsung, LG).
I'm using the custom remote play app (link attached) and the official playstation app from the play store (Not required).
Hope it helps some of you guys out there.
Remote play apk: http://www.mediafire.com/download/zvqrvgzcgdu7pq4/playstationapp.apk
No root required.
I'm running remote play through WiFi - and it's running quite nice. Sometimes there's a little delay, but most of the time it's running almost in realtime. I'm sure the experience will be even better if I connect the playstation to a ethernet cable.
Remember to open these ports on your router: 9293, 9295, 9304 (udp)
- Simon
I can confirm, this does indeed work.
Thank you!
Did the How-to: root, keep and backup DRM keys, etc. tutorial for root and now remote play works without a problem, previously it showed an error when you turn on the app.
doesn't work
the app ask for update after accepting the terms

Screen Mirroring

Hello, my moto g6 plus restarts the interface every time I try to mirror on sony bravia tv.
I edited the build.prop.
On TV it says the device is plugging in... But the phone restarts before mirroring is finished, could anyone help me?
I can connect by wifi direct. but when I enable p2p image transmission, I have problems.https://photos.app.goo.gl/58r9WGFHRM4iDjPk8
Since Pie screen mirroring isn't possible anyway. I'm searching for a solution by myself...
With miracast and the app AirServer Connect I managed to mirror, but if I stop touching the touch screen for more than 2 seconds, I am disconnected.
I don't know why... (Moto G6 Plus PIE rooted. TV sony Bravia, Miracast BF9125A9) if I keep touching the screen, I can stay connected without problems!
