am i the only one having issues getting my n5 to connect via miracast to my TV (Sony) and headunit (eonon) my g2 connected fine, but the n5 sits on connecting, on the car headunit it shows various steps to connecting and hangs on "waiting for rtsp"
i'm wondering if this is a 4.4 issue, or a n5 issue...
i'm bone stock on the n5 (no root, locked bootloader)

I went from a Galaxy nexus to an N5 and a lot of stuff broke. My voice dialer for one and wifi is wonky for another. Wireless charging heats up the battery so much I've quit using it.
I really like the g2 and thought about returning the N5 and getting one. Only problem is that when the G2 gets kitkat all of the problems I'm having may very well come back. I hope that isn't the case with Miracast as well although LG will probably do better testing.
Good luck with Miracast. Sorry I don't have a way to test it for you.

I tried it on my friend's LG TV and my own Samsung and neither would get very far - hope it's a simple software bug
What TV you guys using for miracast... My LG TV says wireless display but nothing about miracast

Same issue no connection. N4&N7 A 4.3 work just fine using an adaptor on sony TV

so the n4 and n7 on 4.3 work okay but your n5 on 4.4 doesn't?
if so it makes me feel a little better than it's just a software issue that (hopefully) is cleared up soon in an update
Maybe. Both the N5 and 4.4 are different from n4 and 4.3. could be a HW issue. Likely a SW problem.

I think there's a little confusion here - I understood this to mean:
You have the same problem with wireless connectivity - this is the same as I have noticed that with my N5 and my friends N4, neither of us could connect
With a cable the N4 and N7 work ok - I would expect this to be the case anyway, although I can't test my N5 with a cable as I don't have the USB to HDMI adapter (only one for my old GNex which was MHL which isn't compatible).
i feel like it's less of a hardware issue since miracast worked fine on my g2 and my note3 which are using the same SoC as the n5. maybe i'll try to flash 4.3 back onto my n7 and see if that connects.
is there any way to send this issue to google so they can be made aware of it?
and of course when i decide to do a logcat to see if i can see what's going on when it's trying to connect the phone (and tablet) decide not to see the tv at all for some reason.

Not what I meant to say. The N4 and N7 work as a wireless display over WiFi as expected.

Tried to connect my N5 to Panasonic BluRay Model 230 - it finds the device, and then when you try to connect it just sits there, and sits there....
Honestly, where the hell is the V&V testing ?

good to know, so it seems to be a 4.4 issue more than a hardware issue.
maybe i'll downgrade my n7 today to test it out. (i was going to do it before but then the 4.4 update was officially released and of course i had to flash that first!)
i also emailed google support today to see what they have to say. it's frustrating not being able to use it in the car since i don't like the actual UI of my headunit.

Kind of off topic here, but how do you like the Eonon head unit? I was thinking about getting one of those for myself! I'd love to hear your opinion on it.

Could be the make and model of the TV as well. I have an LG LA6200 and my N5 connected to it in about 3 seconds. Watched some youtube just for fun. It works fine on mine.
Edit: Asylum OMNI and Faux latest.

Hmm if a custom kernel might help it might be enough to get me to unlock the boot loader and have to set up everything again...

it's pretty nice, it matches and fits in my GTI really well and looks very stock in terms of dials and finish, which i like.
i haven't had it long enough to comment on durability, but so far, i haven't had any issues with it. the UI is pretty responsive and quick (i loaded iGO maps onto it for navigation and it's much more responsive than the stock nav that i had before, i'm legitimately impressed with the navigation fluidity.
the radio reception is worse than stock, but the stock HU uses a dual antenna setup, so it's always going to get better reception, but personally i don't listen to the radio if i can help it. SD card mp3 playback is just as good as stock and sounds fine.
A2DP works fine, but you don't get any id3 metadata, which sucks, but it's fine, it connects to the phone very fast and hasn't dropped the connection once.
the dlna app crashes on my n5, i might try the iphone version on my 5s just to see how it works, but i get all my music from google play so i don't know if that will work anyways.
what i bought it for (miralink) i haven't gotten to work on my n5, but hopefully that will work soon and work well enough, because i would much rather use google maps and the play music app through the HU screen. those two things working even 90% of the time and i'll be a very happy camper.
overall for around $300 shipped to my door, it's really not a bad unit.

Awesome man, thanks for the info!
Does miracast work then? I'm thinking of getting a dongle, or should I just use slimport

Anyone else have a 2013 lg TV with miracast? I just got one and there is a 10-15 second lag. Its pretty much worthless.
Is there something I'm missing?

i've tried it with faux's kernel and francos, both don't work for either of my devices. i emailed google and they replied with troubleshooting info but i haven't had a chance to reply to them and try what they have said (really basic stuff, i don't think it will help)
i refuse to go to crappy crappy touchwiz to make this work, but it makes me sad that i can't use my headunit like i want to.
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to play with them miracasting dongles for a project I'm working on.
Just got myself a dongle from ebay, seems to work (producing video). However, upon attaching with Screen Cast (under display options) it works for 10-12 seconds and automatically disconnects without reconnecting.
Happened the same with a different Nexus 5 and a Nexus 7.
All devices were rooted, all have stock on them (4.4.2).
I've read somewhere that this issue might happen as part of a DRM mechanism (at Samsung Galaxy devices). When the Flash Counter is bigger than 0' the exact same smypthom happens.
Although I'm stocked, I did flash my phones (had to, they came with 4.4 and I wanted 4.4.2). CWM etc.
Anyone seen this issue? overcame it? couldn't find a lot of details about this in Nexus devices ..
I know it doesnt support mhl, i havent been able to find any miracast dongle that works, only hope i think is a samsung smart tv, has anyone got this to work with a specific model, i think some have got it to work with chromecast to some degree but i dont have wifi, thanks.

Tried it yesterday with my samsung smart tv.... played a video. The video played for about 10 seconds before timing out with a "network error"....
Basically worked about as much as the S5 did.... shoddy. And just to clarify my wifi setup is an N setup and have had no issues whatsoever network-wise.
Thanks twisted, i dont get that, im sure like you said it has nothing to do with your network, i thought the whole point of the quick connect feature was you didnt need to be connected to your home wifi for this to work, or am i mistaken? Ive tried emailing samsung support multiple times to get some kind of clarification, but they are useless.

No the idea is your smart tv and phone must be connected to the same wifi network.... regardless i don't expect this mirroring to work... tried just now... all i got was a garbled screen lol.
my screen mirroring works fine on my Samsung UN65F6400AFXZC. on tv click on screen mirroring input , then on phone quick connect and then connect to screen mirroring , watched a few music vids I have on the phone , flipped through pictures from the gallery , home screen and screen rotation all work fine. a slight delay from phone to tv but that's normal.
all working fine here , stock unrooted
Works a treat on my LG smart TV too. It did ask to allow connections from the s6 once but after that it connects without issue.
Thats interesting, ive been to best buy and asked them to give a demonstration and they said it wouldnt work until their tvs firmware was updated, im assuming its just hit or miss then, can i ask what model number LG you have
Haven't tried on the s6 but it would work with no issue on my note 4 and fire tv
Works very smooth with a Chromecast. I was using screen cast and there wasn't any noticeable lag. Was even watching some slow motion video and it looked as if I plugged it in via HDMI. Good enough for me.

I dont have wifi otherwise id try chromecast, and I thought i read chromecast doesnt support the s6 yet, although theyre maybe a workaround the wifi requirement somehow, i think it has to do with the initial setup has to be done then you can do it
Chromecast works without a hitch
no Miracast
Trying to use miracast with my s6 on both my Microsoft wireless display adapter and my wdtv live, it tries to connect but fails after a few attempts. I can connect with my old s3, my surface pro 3 and some Asus memo pad hd7's. Samsung or lollipop have broken Miracast, does anyone know where to send a complaint?

Did you ever figure out a solution or reason for the issue? Facing similar problems myself trying to connect my s6 to my LG smart TV using miracast.

So I've experienced smart view working perfectly for weeks. Have s6 phone and series 6 Samsung smart tv. Then it stopped and I only get an option to deny, no option to allow. To confirm, I have only those two devices-no wifi router or home Internet. Was playing showbox, Spotify, youtube, mobdro...etc. There was about a half second lag, perfectly acceptable.. Samsung told me it may be an update issue, but why remove the feature I bought equipment specifically for that task? Is the connection Bluetooth? Or a direct wifi? This is why phones need to be able to connect to a wifi network they are creating..
Hi, I bought a used Verizon Note Pro 12.2 SM-P905V and when I got it, noticed that the wifi is very flaky. Initially, it connected to my router fine but took 9 hours to load 120 apps when I signed in to Play using my normal Google account. So I did a factory reset, and then it wouldn't see my router at all. Restart router, factory reset device, no dice.
In the notification shade, wifi icon is always green as if it's on, but when I go into settings, the toggle is off. When I slide it to on, it turns gray and after a minute or so goes back to off. Multiple hard resets, still the same issue. Occasionally, it will "see" the routers, but this only lasts for a few seconds and then they are gone.
So I decided to flash the firmware. I did not complete another factory restore before I embarked on this, but had only just gone through the initial language screens and signed in on the tablet with a brand new Gmail account that had nothing on it. So I downloaded official 5.1.1 ROM from Sammobile, installed device drivers, installed Odin, (followed some great instructions found on XDA, thanks), got the tablet into download mode, connected to laptop and Odin on my laptop showed connection was live and it began to do it's thing. So I left it alone for 30 minutes and when I came back, Odin read "all done!" (or something similar) highlighted in green , and the tablet had restarted, so I assumed all is good.
However, I expected that the flash process would have wiped the setup I had begun on the tablet, but it did not. And the wifi issue still exists. Looks to me like nothing has changed. So two questions for you:
1) Does this mean that the flash did not happen correctly?
2) Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix this wifi issue? (LTE works fine but I don't want to eat up all that expensive data.)
Thanks for any help!
Wifi circuit has many components on mainboard and I believe it's beyond abilities of most users even professionals as you cannot find components and schematic to fix them.
Your best source is looking for this tablet with a broken LCD like this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/172145691764?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...069075?hash=item1a15927393:g:D8MAAOSwbYZXZKDb
If you don't have the need to LTE connection, Note Pro wifi mainboard SM-P900 also fit but you need rear camera for SM-P900 as rear camera of LTE won't work in Wif mainboard.
Any LTE Note Pro 12.2 like P907T( Tmobile) P907A ( AT&T ) mainboard will fit to P905V as they are exactly the same mainboard, except firmware, bootloader and software loaded into it.
I swapped a SM-P907A mainboard to a SM-P905V tablet, it works as an AT&T tablet because the software is for AT&T.
I purchased a verizon note pro 12.2 SM-P905V refurbished from groupon last October. For the last few months the wifi on the tablet has been very flaky. I have a number of devices and only this one frequently drops connection. I never upgraded from kitkat I and was hoping that this issue was software related. Seeing that moransw is experiencing the same problem with this same model but is trying to get back to sock kitkat gives me concern that a software update will not resolve the problem. The other problem I've been having lately is that the device no longer recognizes the stock charger, and will now only charge painfully slow. I've tried a different charge cable from a samsung s6 to no avail. Is the SM-P905V a lemon?
You should use this one to test your charger and usb cable
http://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=u....Xusb+voltage+current&sqp=usb+voltage+current
If you're using correct cable and charger, current should be 1.7 A and voltage should be 5.3 V
Test with known working cable and charger, if nothing is different you should consider to buy new usb flex charging port, around $10.
These basic steps you should do first as nobody can give exactly an answer with many unknowns. It happens to many used tablets, not just this model.
These basic troubleshootings are easy done for simple problem of bad cable, charger or USB port
Try them first then post your results if you need more help for further steps

1) I am using stock kitkat rooted and I was experiencing the same issue
2) I found this thread regarding our tablet that seems to suggest a bug with wifi if you are using a Bluetooth device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-pro-12/help/wifi-disconnects-bluetooth-device-t2851406
I was streaming audio through bluetooth to my home surround system, I disabled the bluetooth radio and I haven't had an issue with wifi since. I now use chromcast to stream audio through my surround sound.
I've to got an international LTE version of the original SHIELD Tablet. It was "replaced" at one point, and it has the kill switch on it disabled. What is the best way to update this to Nougat and keep it from getting killed? I don't care about root, or even the LTE part of the tablet.
NOTE: I saw that there's a 7.1.1 ROM, but it looks like it has a lot of video playback issues. I use my tablet primarily for video consumption (Plex, Netflix, Amazon, etc), so that's not an option for me.

Same way you do any other update, the process has not changed.
I have a usa LTE version of the original SHIELD Tablet with marshmallow on it. It was also replaced due to the battery issue and crashes more times than a stuntman car driver. I have had to factory reset it five times after the marshmallow upgrade due to it not responding to inputs and the lag on the wifi is a joke even when in the same room as the wifi router.
