Hello. Yesterday i read about cast, screen mirroring, wireless display, Windows 10's Connect app etc. I tried to connect my x720 (5.9.020s stock) and Connect, but they don't see other. After few mins, i got 'Your device is not supporting Miracast' or sth like this. And week ago i tried to connect my phone to Sony Bravia, but troubles too. May my device fails, or there isn't possibility to do it. If anyone knows how to, please make a tutorial.
I have a 727 and also can't really connect.the phone shows hdcp not supported.any insight or work arounds?

Hello,
I originally posted this over on the WP8 forums, but I still haven't been able to figure this out. Maybe someone here has the solution.
I've got a Lumia 1020 and I'm trying to connect via Bluetooth to a windows 8.1 device. I'm able to pair the devices, but as soon as that process is complete, the connection drops. On my phone, I can tap on the name of my computer, and it will reconnect, but it lasts for literally 3 seconds, before dropping the connection again. I've tried connecting to both my Surface RT and my windows 8.1 ultrabook with the same result. The phone will connect to my car stereo just fine, and I never have to do anything with it. Is there some sort of protocol that's missing in Windows 8 to allow phones to connect via Bluetooth? My main use for this would be music streaming, and using my tablet as a hands free device.
My eventual plan is to mount my Dell Venue 8 Pro in my car as a carpc, so I would like to figure this out somehow. I've tried disabling the Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator, and strictly use the Intel Bluetooth 4.0 adapter, but still, the same thing happens. I can't even stream music from my phone.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dustin
I should also mention that I've tried connecting an android phone with the same outcome
The connection drops because nobody uses it. As soon as some app open a socket between the phone and tablet, the connection will pop up again. This is the default behavior of bluetooth. The devices are first paired, and connection is opened only after something needs it.
I can confirm that screen mirroring is now working with Windows 8.1 devices that support miracast. I have connected to my firetv with my surface pro 3 multiple times with great success and no last. (probably my best miracast experience yet)
However, after the initial connection, upon reconnecting it sets the resolution really low, like 1200x700 or something close. At this resolution windows metro apps will not run, this making miracast a little less useful.
Any body think of a way to fix this? You can't just change the resolution on the computer to a higher resolution it doesn't see it as a supported resolution. Anyone else have a similar issue?
I'm running the newest Intel drivers on the surface pro 3.
How did you get Miracast working? Is anyone else seeing it working?
I've got a Fire TV Stick on version 54.1.1.0_user_110035420 (March 2015), and it doesn't work for me still with my Surface Pro 3 that's on the same WiFi network.
I start by choosing Mirroring on the Fire TV Stick, and a window pops up on screen that says guest devices can wirelessly mirror now. I then sweep out the Charms bar from the right on Windows, choose Devices, and then Project, add a wireless display. It sits for a while on a screen saying "Searching for devices", and then it always just says no devices found.

I did what you said above. It is working but there is too much lag

How do you make Miracast work? I tried and couldn't get it to work with windows 8.1
Do you have VirtualBox installed? I have had discovery problem with Roku's miracast mode because the VirtualBox network drivers. When the drivers were removed everything worked. This sucked because the drivers were for an android emulator.
miracast works also => lenovo yoga 2 pro (I use a extra intel widi wifi card for 5gh wifi)
but it works only one time, the next time you must remove your connected firetv in windows 8.1 and reboot the firetv.
After reboot it will work for one new connect and so on,..

I got it working by factory resetting my Fire TV Stick. I use the term "working" very loosely. This is more like a proof-of-concept than a working product.
I'm not seeing any of the problems with resolution that jdtimothy talked about, and I'm not seeing the need to reboot that Pat1981 saw, but it's still basically unusable. I'm constantly seeing some mix of: (1) lag, sometimes as long as seconds long, (2) random reboots of the Fire TV Stick while connected, (3) random freezes of the Fire TV Stick's screen while connected, though sometimes sound will continue to play, and (4) random disconnects.
I've found that using a high-resolution causes all of these problems to happen a lot more severely. Using 1080p lag is around 3-5 seconds, and a reboot of the Fire TV Stick is common. Using 1024x768 it basically works other than half second lag on everything. This is all while connected to an N-router located in the same room with no interference on the same channel.
I got in on the $50 NP deals a little bit ago. It's been a neat little device aside from a couple issues. First, nothing can cast to it. Various phones, tablets try to connect then give up with a "Unable to connect to device" error. I have Chromecasts and they work flawlessly. I have done a factory reset or two without any improvement. Another oddity is that from my desktop computers, most of the time the device doesn't even get listed from the Chromecast icon (No cast devices found). One exception seems to be Youtube. There it shows the device, but still never sends anything to the Player.
The other issue I've had is that Netflix plays 1-5 seconds of a show before popping up it's aip-703. Netflix's web site gives a few suggestions, remove and readd account and the like, but that hasn't helped.
The only other thing I can think of is that the upgrade to Marshmallow might magically fix things, but I'm not holding out much hope. Any other suggestions?
I bet the casting problems you're getting are due to the NP's dodgy wi-fi connectivity. It's got compatibility issues with loads of different routers. I for example have a dual band router and since I moved the NP over to the router's 2.4GHz band, I have been able to cast without issues. And this sucks since I prefer it to connect to the 5GHz band for throughput and interference reasons. If you get any chance to try this with a different router you'll most likely see that those issues go away...
I was wondering that too, so I picked up an OTG cable and connected my Wii's ethernet adapter. Devices still aren't able to connect to the NP's casting receiver. So much for that...
In dealing with the Netflix thing, I decided to give their support a try. Surprisingly, they were very easy to deal with as far as tech support phone lines are. We tried a few things, but weren't able to settle on anything more than maybe it's the ISP's fault (Comcast). One interesting thing was they were able to pull up a demo movie that displays the current bitrate that you're getting. It was only pulling 1700kbps before getting the error. At other devices I get a similar rate, up to 3000kbps. I don't see how if Comcast were throttling Netflix connections, it should fail on any device rather than just this one (phones, tablets, computers, Chromecast, GoogleTV work just fine).
I've been able to cast on both NP I have without an issue. They were both running 5.1.1 and connected through 5Ghz wifi. I updated one to 6.0 and now I have the high brightness issue.
Both the casting and Netflix app got updated yesterday. Hopefully that will fix your problems
Casting no longer powers on TV via HDMI
Has anyone else experienced that casting no longer wakes up a powered-off TV?
Since I got my NP, starting to cast (with the TV off) would power on the TV and set it to the correct input (via HDMI commands sent from the Nexus Player). But, since yesterday (6.0 upgrade and new Cast Receiver - not sure which is to blame) this no longer happens. Is this now a configurable setting somewhere? I do observe that I can still use my TV remote's d-pad to control the Nexus Player, so believe HDMI-CEC is still active and configured correctly on the TV.
I loved this feature (prevented me from needing my TV remote!) and sad that it's now broken.
So I have my Huawei P8 Lite, Build no. ALE-L21C432B170 with Kernel 3.10.61-ga9763c9; and a Samsung Series 6 Smart Tv.
The Multi-display shortcut thingy does not find the TV automatically. Through wifi direct I can connect my phone with the TV. Then run again the Multi-display thingy, the Tv's Wifi Direct name shows up, I press it, the TV goes into "Loading" - status and remains there yet the telephone signals that connection failed.
Tried it with an Allview P5Life, a far weaker device, yet with a single button press I could establish screen sharing, without having to mess around in Wifi Direct.
Can somebody confirm that the Huawei P8 Lite devices are not compatible with Samsung Series 6 Smart Tvs or that I need to do additional settings before being able to share screen?
P.S.: As I recall correctly I even tried sharing screen with an other brand Tv but without success. Need Help.
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!
