I have looked at a number of different web pages on this issue. On both of my Samsung phones which I use as tablets I am having a problem. The Fire tv stick is able to be recognized on the screen mirroring section of the setting on the Samsung. However, when I tap the screen to mirror the device with the fire tv stick, it just keeps on trying to connect. It works fine with my mirroring with my amazon tablet but not with the android phones.
Any suggestions are more than welcome, thanks

I just bought a Samsung 32F6400 tv, wich has screen mirroring that is designed to work just with samsung phones/tablets.
I turned on wireless display on my phone, it connects to the tv, and after that i get a 2-3 sec black screen on the tv, and then it says Screen mirroring off/disabled...
Did anyone get this to work on a samsung tv ?
problem with Samsung
I also have a Samsung TV 2013 edition and when I try connecting via miracast it says connected then the TV stops and exits miracast mode, however the nexus 4 did work with my freind's lg smart TV and my brother's note 2 worked on my TV so I'm guessing that the problem is with Samsung not the nexus. And I was using stocl android 4.3 ....:crying:
I'm hoping there's a port to make it work with Nexus phones.. Anyone?

I have a Sony Bravia, a Panasonic Viera and Samsung pn43d490(doesn't work) and screen mirror and slimport works great with sony and panasonic, but the phone screen still on all the time, I want to turn the phone screen off while using netflix, please need help
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.
Here's the equipment I'm working with:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM T230NU on 4.4.2 with KingRoot (for now).
Sony XBR850C with built in Android.
AppleTV 4th Gen.
I have tried several solutions and nothing works. The TV has Chromecast built in (called GoogleCast) but it connects very briefly and then I get a message on the tablet stating "Casting to the XBR850C has ended"
I've used several different apps including ScreenStream, MirrorBeta, MiraCast Shortcut, etc... and tweaks like MirrorcastEnabler.
I am looking for a system-wide mirroring solution, I want the TV screen to reflect whatever's on my tablet screen whether I'm in an app like TBS or HBOGo or on the Setting screen.
Honestly, I'm floored that it's been this complicated and challenging. I have an iPhone and this feature is built in and works flawlessly.
I am interested in buying the tab A 10.1 2916 (t585) but I haven't clearly found yet if it has the ability to connect to TVs and devices without cables.
For example, I can connect my Samsung Note 5 to LG, Samsung tvs and so on, without any cables. My phone scans the area for compatible TVs and I can "quick connect", and either send my screen to the TV or view the TV on my phone.
Is this feature available on the Tab A 2016 t585?
Thank you

All Tab As has Quick Connect previous known as Screen Mirroring. In order to use Quick Connect without wireless HDMI adapter, your TV must be a Smart TV.
Thank you!
Is "quick connect" the same with "smart view" ?
Smart View is not the same as Quick Connect

Quick Connect only streams your tablet display to TV and nothing else

Questions/Issues:
Have downloaded DOFU from google play store. It plays and runs good on the Tablet. I can see live log in a watch live NBA (playoffs now). Trying to mirror or cast from the Fire HD 8 Tablet to my TV using Micro USB to HDMI. Cannot get VIZIO 650DBI-2 TV to mirror via HDMI the tablet. I have had 2 session with Vizio technicians 1. The Vizio will support HDMI connection from android apple and PC. This Vizio will to support casting unless it is physically connected to the TV and the tablet supports that device (Chromecast plug in or Fire stick not wanting to purchase other hardware just to run this tablet mirror to TV. Issue is somehow with the Tablet not being recognized by the TV. The HDMI input show no device detect no matter how many HDMI ports it connected to (HMDI ports all work TV and USBC work on the tablet).
I can use my apple I phone 13 pro and my Laptop to mirror to the same VIZIO TV using HDMI cable input. However I want to be able to cast the Tablet (DOFU sports) to my TV for a larger viewing screen mirror. Tried 5 different double blind tested cables so I know it is not the physical cable connection. Is there additional software I need to enable or do we need to DL something new specific for my current tablet to perform screen mirror of live viewing? Currently the tablet in is Fire toolbox format will not screen mirror any TV or even a monitors (tried my PC screen)

Try to use Scrcpy, Vysor or ApowerMirror to mirror your Fire tablet screen into your laptop or PC connected to the TV or monitor using HDMI or VGA cable.
