miracast support? - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, looks like s3 neo does not have miracst support (GT-I9301I). Even if I install the miracast shortcut from google play, doing scan yields nothing. Seems like something is missing - stupid samsung, how could they disable such basic feature in this nice phone?
Anybody knows any way to enable miracast screen sharing?
P.S. prefer to use stock ROM

Just for info, on CM 12/12.1 works almost flawlessly, you just cannot start it from quick settings, I need to go from settings every time. So if not working on stock it is software issue.

[Q] Flash 10.1 not working on Fascinate DL30 leak

So far DL30 is working without any real issues. The only weird thing that I noticed is that Adobe Flash 10.1 stopped working. It worked when I tested it, but now the same site isn't working.
I tried...
Updating to the latest Flash via market place... no luck.
Renaming the install_flash_player.apk and installing from the market place... no luck
Most sites have a warning that flash is not installed. This is using the android browser.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.
EDIT: I should have stated that I wiped the data and cache. I also went from a stock DL09 rooted phone to the DL30 leak.
I just used Dophin HD to go to CNN and MSNBC, I was able to view the videos there with no problems. I remember I couldn't do that on 2.1.
All I did was to install Flash 10.1 from Market...
OK.... Newb status confirmed....
The flash player worked and then stopped. Some how the enable addons setting on the browser was turned to off. I enabled all. Sorry for the ridiculous question!
Tanks for the post...I had that same plugin thing disabled as well until I saw this thread. Now flash is up and running. Anyone know how to choose the resolution settings in youtube? (ex. 360p,720p,1080p)
It helped me to install from the marketplace. Seems to work great even with flash games on this 2.2 build.
Sorry, slightly off topic, but browser related. Anyone actually get the default search engine selection to work correctly? Neither of the two other choices - Google or Yahoo works.
Typing anything into the top URL / Search bar and then pressing the right arrow button to initiate the search always yields bing search results. Maybe I am missing the real function of the default search selection, but one would figure that's what that setting was for.
Everything else in DL30 has seemed to function perfectly.
Enable Plugins from the browser menu. You can set it to manual too so you don't have too much lag from videos starting.
Its working ... Enable plugins in your browser...
Flash Works
Yeah flash works perfectly. If i go to ESPN i can watch the videos on there perfectly and just click the fullscreen to see it good on my phone.

How well does google now work on note 4?

How good does Google now work on the note 4? I am thinking about getting the note 4 & I am real big on Google now. One of the features that I like the most that this phone offers is the ability to do Google now while the screen is off and wake it. Does this work pretty good?
Also, I read were moto voice makes Google now laggy. How is the Google now in terms of responsiveness for note 4?
I find it very responsive. However, my Google Noaw stopped working (would respond to okay google command only from Google search screen...would not respond from off screen or any other screen for that matter.) I checked all my settings and they were fine. I rebooted, still no joy. Cleared cache, still not. The only thing that worked was uninstalling the updates via app manager. Why this worked I do not know but....if someone runs into similar I hope it helps.

It works great, the only problem is if you have a gear watch or anything with bluetooth already connected, then it only works whenever it wants. You can't even set up your own voice if gear watch is on. Once you disconnect the fear watch, it works perfect every time, screen on,off, locked. I also have the s voice active. So with my gear watch connected, i use s voice for text, call, open apps etc from my gear watch. I only use the ok google for searching as ok google does a much better job at searching.
S voice is improved drastically. I'm coming from note 2 so, for me, s voice is like day and night. Even the car mode is amazing. I hope this helps your decision. Note 4 is a beast phone. I have been using it for a week now and love it. I'm stock by the way. No root.
i use the google now launcher and i have no issues (i've disabled S-Voice).
Ok Google search comes up whenever i say the hotword. I don't use it from lock screen (have a lock screen security on), but works fine if you have an unsecured lock screen.
Also have a Moto 360 connected via blutooth and it doesn't affect it at all.
There are some conflict issues between s voice and google now voice search. Once i turned off s voice, the problems went away.
"Always-on"-function gone and replaced by "From any screen". Why?
When you go to the settings of Google Search/Voice/OK Google Detection/
one should see the "Always-on" option, right?
I used to have it, but right now it´s gone and got replaced with "From any screen". I don´t know how that happened.
The problem is, "From any screen" doesn´t work when the display is OFF.
The "Always-on"-function does work also when the display is OFF.
I already re-installed Google Search, but that didn´t help either.
Anyone got an idea how to get the "Always-On"-function back?
Not , but I did find out the delay in voice search is caused the touchwiz launcher. Install the free nova launcher, and the search launched twice as fast, plus has a lot better customization.

Good advice, thanks. By the way: Does your Note 4 show the "Always-on"-function, or do you also have only the option "From any screen"?
I wonder whether it could be that there is a special version of the GoogleSearch-app for the Note 4 or devices like to Moto-X?
So when one downloads the standard GoogleSearch-app from the PlayStore, one will not have the "Always-on"-function.
Is that possible?
I have always and also from lock screen checked. There might be a specific version in the samsung pre-installed app store.
I think Always On works better with Nova Launcher than with Google Now Launcher. I was using GNL for a bit and after a long idle, the phone would not respond to "OK Google" with the screen off. It would take turning on the screen, then off, for it to work. My guess is that the Google app gets killed when not in use for a while. With Nova, you have Aggressive Desktop, which is similar to keeping the app in memory. Couple that with enabling "OK Google" from Nova and it keeps the Google app from being killed. Just a theory. Will test more.

Trouble Managing Multi-Window Application List

Hey Everyone,
I have had a note 3 rooted for a while now, mostly for the wifi hotspot capabilities and ability to alter some settings. I am stuck trying to add apps to my multi-window options and have had success in the past. I originally used MW Manager probably about 6 months ago and successfully added the apps I wanted. For some reason now the list is minimal and includes a few new apps...but missing probably 80% of the apps I selected. I feel like some apps that come stock with multi-window functionality have dissappeared. I have also tried using Wanam to add to the multi window option, but it isn't able to do anything different.
Anything I'm missing, suggestions on some bug fixes to finally solve this issue? I am on the stock rom, rooted 4.4.2.
Thank you.

So all the Google searches I did on this topic for the past week or so and not once did anyone mention the "Clear FlashBar Data" option on MW Manager...
Problem Solved.

Ok google issue?

Hi,
I have recently installed Kybui Rom running 5.1.1 lollipop on my note 4 N10F variant. Everything works great except google now. There isn't any options for ok google anywhere only ok google in app. Its not like they're greyed out either they're completely missing from the app completely. I've tried disabling S-voice, downgrading the google app but nothing gets it working at all.
I seem to be the only person having this issue which is even more frustrating though have read about it happening on S6 devices but can't seem to find a solution. Does anyone know how I can get this back? I know I can use nova launcher and there's open mic+ to do it but nova only works on homescreen and open mic is dodgy when veiwing videos last time I used that app so just want it working natively again.

How to enable Miracast

This guide will show how to enable WIFI SCREEN MIRRORING on our phones.
I think Moto/Lenovo disabled it to force the use of projector snap or chromecast.
You'll need root enabled.
All you have to do is change one line on your build.prop.
You have to change the line
Code:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=0
To
Code:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
If you're on stock or stock based ROM, you will edit the line.
If you're Lineage based rom, you will have to add the line.
Now you reboot and Miracast can be enabled.

it works confirmed on xiaomi redmi note 3,N roms
Was about to return my Moto Z (Griffin) because of the lack of miracast.
Just tried this method and it does indeed enable miracast on Android 6.
Problem is, it's not smooth and seemless like on the Galaxy S7 because when casting video, the Moto Z plays the video on the phone as well as on the wireless display at the same time resulting in an often pixelated wireless video.
On the S7, the screen on the phone remains black (except for the playback controls), and wireless video is excellent.
How can we fix this?
Also, does this build.prop hack work on Android 7?

I don't think that the S7 actually does Miracast but uses a form of WiFi Direct instead. My understanding of Miracast is that it is only capable of video mirroring and doesn't have the ability of actually casting video like Chromecast or Apple Air Play. I also have an S7 and although it is able to cast video from content directly on your phone to a television it uses video mirroring when playing back video from third party apps like HBO Go or Showtime Anytime, the same as Miracast.
The ultimate goal is to have a device that can connect to and project content to a wide spectrum of devices.
For me, it's important to be able to cast or mirror directly, without the need for an external WiFi network (as is the requirement of a Chromecast).
Examples being "project to this PC Windows 10" or to a miracast/Widi connected projector "Microsoft display adapter".
All of which the S7 does flawlessly but the Moto Z can't.
Regarding the mirror display of video, that depends on the app being used. If however the app allows the video to be played on the native video player, it'll get cast but not mirrored, resulting in smooth playback (S7). The Moto does not have a dedicated video player and relies on Google Photos, so the content (after applying this mirrorcast hack) is simply mirrored.
It's also shocking that for a modern device, the Moto Z can't connect to devices via HDMI (Samsung also dropped the ball here with the S7).
Only reason to keep the Moto Z really is for the Mods, like the projector.
I've read somewhere that this hack only works on Android 6 for the Moto Z (fails to connect on Android 7).
Could someone please confirm ( don't want to update if miracast is lost)?

Just a little further info. Miracast has been disabled since at least 2013 with the release of Moto G (1st Gen) / Moto X (1st Gen) - probably earlier. It's not related to projector snap or chromecast. The feature was never properly implemented (WiFi internet connection was lost while mirroring) in the any Stock Motorola Firmware, but did work correctly in the Google Play Edition firmware.
It's been a few years since I've used the feature, but casting via Miracast is possible using various apps on Play Store (for example BubbleUPnP).
Bubble upnp and other apps need external WiFi, miracast is direct so can be very useful on the go (where you may not have home or office WiFi).
updated to Noghat, rooted and used the build prop editor from the Playstore........miracast works but it breaks the camera (camera busy, please restart).
Restoring the original build prop fails to fix the camera.
Only fix is to reinstall the firmware
This mod does not affect camera.
O think you edited something else.
My suggestion: Always perform a nandroid backup before doing any mod.
I have the moto z play unlocked version and have updated my build.prop. What I had to do was take the # out before the line described at the beginning of this thread(the =0 was already =1 as described to change) and I do have screen mirroring to a point. Everything mirrors except video streaming apps, homemade videos stream fine but apps like fox go, espn, and such the video is black on the screen but sound works while video is playing on the phone. Does anyone else have this problem and been able to get both video and sound to mirror? Is there more to edit in the build.prop file to get full true mirroring? I have search everywhere and haven't seen this problem but people say they have mirroring that is working but not if everything is working.. Thanks
Where do I edit this line?

/system/build.prop
So I take it nobody is having problems mirroring? And I'm the only one who's build.prop already said the 1 instead of the 0 and that taking out the # before the line that needed to be changed gives my phone some mirroring but not with apps like espn and such. When I had the Samsung Note 5 these apps mirrored fine. Strange they don't show video for this edit.
I can't even find the value or line in the editor app? And I'm on stock 7.0
