Miracast / Allshare Cast - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Does someone know if it is possible to mirror my phones screen to my TV ?
Its a Samsung UE40F6400
It had WiFi, and its a smart TV.
When i duplicate screen under Display its connected, and then my TV says connection is stopped.
Running stock rom, Faux kernel 03B06

Anyone?

Same thing happens to me. I have a Sony Smart tv with miracast but I can't get my Nexus 5 or my Galaxy S3 to mirror. I'm getting frustrated.

Miracast is absolute utter garbage technology. Its seriously one of the ****tiest standards ever to grace mobile computing, mostly because there just is no standard. It can work with one device and then not work with another, even though everything is miracast enabled. Its probably not worth your time trying to figure out, because even when you do its frustratingly awful sometimes. I got it working finally on my nexus 4 and 7, but even when the phone or tablet was within a foot of the damn miracast receiver it would still lag and lose connection while playing video.

Its not that bad. with the latest drivers its actually pretty stable with everything I have thrown at it. note 8, yoga2, venue 8 pro, nexus 5 and gs4.
to answer the op samsung makes it so only samsung devices can mirror with their tvs. hopefully they change this soon but until then you need to buy a ptv3000 or similar.

What does it check, could it work if i change build.prop or something else?

Any developer know how to get allshare on Nexus 5?
Or how to fake my phone to connect it to the TV with wirekess display?

Still looking.
Anyone ?

My N5 miracasts perfectly with my Sony smart TV (Except sometimes it lags or freezes and I have to reconnect) but I do have to go into the specific 'Screen Mirror' input channel.
Have you tried going into the specific source for Mirroring? Not sure if this will be applicable to Samsung TV's though.

Samsung got some modified miracast that works with allshare cast for samsung devices.
Is it possible to port those apps?

Today my TV updated to version 1117 after checking in menu.
Its working now with nexus 5,android 4.4.2 stock, faux 8u kernel.
But cant really use it when gaming, got some lagg, but its a good start that samsung now accepts a LG phone like the Nexus 5

Allshare cast dongle unable to connect

It can connect to one s3, but on the other, it connects, but before it shows on the tv, I get a message on the phone that says current allshare cast connection will end and the allshare instructions reappear on the tv. Both phones have the same Rom (beans 9) and same kernel, (imo)

Is your dongle up to date with the latest firmware (LJ02)? While not perfect, I've found a lot of my problems went away after upgrading. If you need help with that you can check this post.

Also, very often I find that I need to reboot the phone and sometimes unplug/replug in the dongle to get it to work.
Good luck.

Dongle is up to date and I also have the latest allshare cast apk (the one blocked by Verizon). I've rebooted the phone, reset and powered the dongle off then on, still nothing. Still only connects to 1 of 2 phones

Update:
Both phones say they are connected, problem now is the dongle stays on the welcome screen and never mirrors the phones screens. Not sure if anyone has had this problem

kitkat screen mirroring fixed the easy way

Or allshare cast dongle fixed.
Just install "ScreenMirroring Patch" from Google play.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.screenmirroringpatch
I am unrooted in the UK on o2. I updated to kitkat and screen mirroring stopped working as this has been happening to other people if you search Google. so after many searchings on Google I found this to fix a different problem, but it fixed screen mirroring after updating to kitkat.
Wanted to put this out there because I could not find a fix searching Google. Hope this helps.

If anyone is using the AllShare Cast Hub device, can you tell me what output resolution your device is using since KitKat. Mine which are on old firmware (no way to update the firmware with S4 or Note3!!), output 1080p/30 which is an unusual resolution and my Panasonic TV doesn't support it. Prior to KitKat, it was still 720p on the hub device even the phone is of course 1080
Resolution is 1920x1080 full hd.I tryed now a movie i am on uk 4.4.2 and is working.

Yes the 1080 bit I agree...its the refresh bit thats the problem. At 1080, you can have 50/60Hz (most common), 24p (blu-ray) and 30p (weird things). Samsung is using the 30p connection which is what is causing me all the problems
for those who can't search or just can't be ar**d!

Ty bro
Still doesn't work for me and my Cloudnetgo Miracast dongle. After patching with the Samsung app, about one in every ten screen mirroring attempts connect but only for about half a minute.

My note 3 didn't connect either. What I did was hit the reset button once on the hub device and then turned on the screen mirroring very quickly after the release of the reset button. It connected and always does since then.

What i don't get is why the Samsung dongle is now expensive then their Wi-Fi Blu-ray player with allcast built in....

Well, you can stick it in your pocket and take it anywhere. Hotel room or work. Bluray player stays at home. The allshare/screen mirroring is way better with my LG tv. I can plug my headphones into the phone and watch the tv. The cast hub will disconnect if you keep the headphones plugged in.

See now the headphones thing that I do like hmmmm okay looks like I will end up buying one lol

It doesn't work with the hub. It works with my LG Tv mirror cast. However, if you have the hdmi adapter the headphones will work while it outputs video to you tv. I noticed this after the kitkat update.

the same here... and it seems theres no workaround...
for the previous android version 4.3 i used a patched libWFD_ENGINE.so file which worked with root, but with the new kitkat there is no such a file in the library folder..

so, theres no way on kitkat?
Any one have fix this for rooted device?
as far as my findings go, try it with a stock kernel, even when rooted it should work then!
screen mirror fail note 3
Patch says not needed. Used to mirror from note 3 to tv thru my Sony BDP s3200 but quit after note 3 android update. BS. What to do? It was so clean and NO LAG AT ALL. PISSED

Android 4.4.2

Have a nexus 5 Sony watch wouldn't stay connected...after a phone call to tech support sony does not support anything above 4.3...why BC no sony phones are above 4.3 at the moment....
She said there is an update coming out but didn't know when or even if it would fix the problems....
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I'm using it with my S3 running omnirom, which is at 4.4.2 so it's not that. There is an update coming but I doubt it would help you in itself. Mine disconnects from time to time, I've found the quickest way to reconnect is to turn Bluetooth off on the watch and back on again, it generally pairs straight away. Hopefully that will be fixed in the new version.

This is just what she said. Mine wouldn't reconnect.... To annoying

I'm running a Nexus 5 and had my SW 2 since December, never had issues with connection, aside from once with a botched custom Kernel. If you're not running stock, try running that, other than that I suggest faulty hardware on the watch's part
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
My SW2 and Nexus 5 work great together, no connection issues. I've had this combo for 2-3 months now.
Same setup here. Nexus 5 and Android 4.4.2, everything is working great. Have you tried resetting the watch to stock?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Tried 2 different watched.. Bluetooth works fine.. Use Bluetooth headphones to work out with and those never get disconnected.
Reset the watch multiple times.. Would work and then lose connection even though the app still shows connected.. The apps would not communicate with my phone
She did say they were getting a lot of complaints about my issue as well.

^Same here... Sony SW2 with Nexus 5 (4.4.2) and haven't had any issues with bluetooth connectivity. As others mentioned, resetting the watch or unpair and re-pairing would be the first things I would try.
Best of luck... let us know how it goes.
Done that. I should say that I got a pebble and have 0 issues.. Don't know why it was not working,, tried 2 different ones from 2 different stores.. Bc of that sony refused to even send me another.. They pretty much forced me to return it

Try again? Some Sony phones were updated to 4.4.2 today.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the nexus 5 doesn't even have the hardware to be able to do it. Only alternative I think would be something like a smart tv where you can just use it as a remote via Bluetooth or over the network
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There's no alternative. N5 doesn't have IR. If you have a net connected TV there are apps
