Does moto g has miracast support in 4.4.3? I will have a new smart tv at home today and can't cast screen on 4.4.2 without toot. I don't want to void my warranty now and 4.4.3 isn't available in India yet. So, does moto g officially support miracast in 4.4.3 without root so that I wait for it or is there any other non root way to use miracast?
Personally, I use FlippsHD (recently free on Amazon app store) and if you have YouTube "leanback" on the Smart TV - you can pair with the app on your Moto G and cast. Neither option requires root.

I managed to get miracast on moto g by adding persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 in build.prop but still, one more problem, when my devices connects to tv through wifi direct, it says obtaining ip address and then, it disconnects :crying:

Same experience here running 4.4.2. Maybe 4.4.4 or 4.5 will finally fix this.

I atleast hope we get 4.5
I've been trying out 4.4.3 and can confirm Miracast now works perfectly (on Sony Bravia TV). You still need to add persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 in build.prop. I notice there is another line in the build.prop (may have been there in 4.4.2): (which I also enabled but may not be necessary)
##property to choose between virtual/external wfd display
persist.sys.wfd.virtual=0
Additionally, Allcast and some other DNLA apps that did not work correctly in 4.4.2, now run fine.
Additional points about Miracast in 4.4.3 / 4.4.4:
When Miracast screen mirroring is enabled; Moto G looses it's (WiFi) internet connection. This may only be the case with Stock firmware - as I have read that CyanogenMod often solves this issue on other phones.
Another question is whether the Moto G has the required hardware; if something specific like Dual-Band WiFi is required for Miracast to work simultaneously with WiFi Internet.
Since Miracast on Moto G is disabled by default; it would appear unlikely that Motorola will provide any support regarding this feature.

I thought it wifi was turned off in every phone, I read that somewhere for htc phones. As for me, my tv can't just connect with my phone through wifi direct, but it connects with a samsung galaxy star. Motorola's fault, I got this issue to live assisstance and he said that he too wasn't able to connect through wifi direct.

Miracast is supposed to wirelessly mirror the screen without any limitation.
Check out this video of a Samsung Galaxy S4 - all internet apps work fine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxSJ57Q3zak
There are a few posts on XDA discussing this:
[Q] screen mirroring and network simultaneously?
miracast and wifi
From the above thread:
I just registered to let you guys know that i got Miracast and a WiFi connection working. First I connected the tablet to the WiFi, then activated screen mirroring and lost the WiFi connection, went to the WiFi section on settings and pressed the WSP button cancel it and the device connected automatically to the WiFi network without losing the screen mirroring function, hope that it works for you guys, best of luck.

As I have already stated, Miracast does work for me with 4.4.3.
UPDATE:
It could well be TV (Sony Bravia) specific, but from testing:
i) 'Settings > Wifi > WiFi Direct' will connect sometimes.
ii) 'Settings > Display > Cast screen' always connects but no Internet on phone.
If anyone can test these out with 4.4.3 / 4.4.4 based custom ROMs please report back. Android L could fix the internet part or it may never be possible with Moto G's hardware. Other than that; the Miracast mirroring seems slick and responsive. I did not check gaming lag.

I'm sure it's a software limitation, since my cheap Chinese phones and tablet can use miracast without the need to make a direct connection to TV... They use the WiFi network... Both devices (phone/tab and TV) only need to be connected on the same network...
Only the moto g needs a direct connection to TV...
Enable miracast on moto g3 no root!!! Gauranteed

Just install mirror on your moto and all cast reciever on your tv or pc
Both are by clockword mod
Then open mirror and connect to the same wifi network your tv is (mobile hotspot will not work)
Now open all cast reciever on your tv and now go back to mirror on your Moto you will see an ip adress or a name example smart tv then click on it then click no thanks and the on the second diolouge click ok AnD then bam you will see your screen appear on ur tv or monitor sent by my moto g3

I was searching for a quite long time, but I haven't found any satisfying answer. I want to send files between any device with WiFi Direct and computer. What I'm expecting?
For example - if I have two Note 10.1 - I can send / receive files without any wireless network - just between those devices.
I want to be able to send files between tablet and computer without using any network, any router. I don't want those devices to be connected into the same network. I want to send those files directly from device to device.
If I will need special WiFi card - please give me some hint.
If my expectation haven't been clearly explained - I will try once more.
I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but you should check out 'WiFi File Explorer' in the Play Store. It sets up an IP address that you can access with any browser (Windows 7 computer or another tablet) and access your files. I do believe you have to have root, but I've used it with my GSIII and my computer and it works great for transfering files, managing files and deleting or renaming files/folders. fwiw
NVM, I just tried this with my note and you do have to be on a wireless network for this to work, sorry, not what you were looking for I guess.
WIDI has not been properly implemented yet in both android and hardware yet, some devices are certified but some are on older versions and there is no software out there yet to take advantage of it. (that I am aware of ).
Samsung have partially implemented it using allshare and allshare cast, neither will do what you want. I dont think this will be working properly until the Galaxy S4 or even 5.
hmm in theory its supported in android 4.x

It's not exactly what I meant. I would like to know, if is there any possibility using WiFi Direct connect android device (with WiFi Direct Support) and Windows PC. If it's possible - what are the requirements?
i'm confused now, why would you want widi on a pc, surely you are always going to have a router to connect to and thus defeating the object.

Let's try imagine something. I have WiFi / Router in my house. But, not everywhere I have an access to WiFi network, and maybe someone don't want to give me an access to network, or I don't need this as it's not really necessary. Sometimes I could meet someone with computer and I would like to send something faster than via Bluetooth, faster than removing memory card and trying to put into someone's computer. Will you notice how complicated it could be?
Now I have decided to buy device with WiFi Direct and I would like to use it with different devices. I don't want to use WiFi / Wireless netowrks / using router, because I could do this years ago.

If you want to send files from device (a) to Device (b), either both need to be WIDI compatible or both need to be connected to the same wifi network, I cant see your problem really, this isn't rocket science mate.

From what you described it's exactly what you said, using wifip2p to transfer files between 2 adhoc devices.
The libraries do just that on the android side of things,
If you want something else then I'm sorry but you need to be a bit clearer.

Hi I actually struggle to explore Wifi direct between my note 10.1 (JB), to an Asus laptop.
I installed the Intel Mywifi dashboard 15.1.1s64 (a version accepted by the latest Intel wifi driver Wireless_15.1.1_s64).
It can install it only if our chipset accept it : intel centrino range.
have a look over the downloadcenter.intel.com
As for me, I can "see" my devices, and I can use my laptop as a hotspot (fine !) just as connecitfy does, but Sharing files is impossible.
I should have an icon ...but nothing !
I have changed my firewall settings, but NO way.
It seems it's a problem of security settings, for sometimes it has displayed a kind of message : 'sharing impossible, ...'.
If anyone has a clue !
NB: WIFI DIrect works fine betwwen 2 samsung devices for long (2 years; they were the first) when my Asus transformer TF101 is still stucked in a Widi native, not working in ad-hoc. I tried with REceive wifi app, or other wifi direct apps..
Stay in touch !

it sounds to me like you are trying to create a network using widi, I don't think this is actually possible yet. I was under the impression you could only push files from one device to another, i.e there will be an option when you click send to send via WIDI in the same way you would by bluetooth.

HI.
Actually, In fact, I found that to work proprelly, the intel myWifi needs to be created as local network, with special features, security and many things to do. I just begun to explore this morning...but it's not just a 'plug and play' widget ! not as easy as Android does the Ad-hoc would do !
I'll try latter, let people know if I can manage it.
you can use wifi direct and adhoc on one soluution from intel.
it is baed on intel's wifi cards - more ifo here:http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/imwd/sb/CS-033754.htm?wapkw=wifi+direct
you need to instal itnels wifi managemen sw + wifi dashboard. if not you wont be able to use wifi direct.
it is working as adhoc really nice but I was not able to send wifi direct any files even it did connect properrly. looks like kind of bug

You need a "Airdroid"
http://www.airdroid.com/
Wifi Direct != WiDi
It's driving me nuts with all the talk of WiDi on here...Wifi Direct is completely different than WiDi. WiDi is Wireless Display. (just search for WIDI, and read up on it please)
I only found this forum because I was actually looking for how to connect my computer and phone using the WiFi Direct function on my phone. It seems like it should just be as easy as making the two devices see each other. I have the Note 2, and a Win7/64 laptop. They are both running on my 5Ghz network, which from my understanding shouldn't matter since they should be setting up an ad-hoc network between the two.
So far I've tried to create an ad-hoc network on my computer, but my phone won't see it. I've tried just scanning from the Note by just opening the wifi direct app and letting it search and by trying to find the new AD-Hoc connection on my PC. I've tried finding my phone on my network with my PC, but it won't connect the two. Just show me there are devices there on the network. I really wish Samsung would jump out in front of this one and give some more directions on how to use this feature they are pushing.

Airdroid works great! I was having the same problem as the OP until I saw this. Airdroid lets you upload and download from the phone just by setting up a wifi hotspot on the phone. No need for a router or internet.
I think I know what you mean.
WiFi direct will give you a different ip address separate from ur normal WiFi router. Try setting up your Windows pc WiFi to the same ip range and subnet....you can find the ip address by long clicking on the WiFi connection in settings while its connected to the other device, or use an app called fring, and scan the connected network for the ip addy.
My Samsung tv calls WiFi direct SML (samsung media link)
The link password protected using wps.
Wps is hackable I belive, so in theory u should be able to get the WiFi direct password...
My Samsung tv wifidirect/SML calls its signal sec link xxxx, I can connect to this with my GN..but cant do anything else.
My thoughts are Samsung are purposly restricting the full potentional of this untill a later date,....every thing Seems to be there for it to work, but they are not ready to free it up.
They make money so far from you buying add on devices like allcast dongle. Which should not be needed as you have wifidirect/SML.
No doubt this will be a great selling point on the new Samsung ranges

how do i connect the wi-fi direct supporting windows 8 tablet to wi-fi direct supporting android device via wi-fi direct?
next...
hi..
Now I've get my nexus 4 phone... I'tried to connect it to my Pc using My Wifi Dashboard..and it may have worked...
Yes it connects.. but impossible to send files fromboth sides.
As my nexus4 to GT Note...nothing. It connects sometimes, but any apk I tried did worked ! Wifi direct. I tried 6 .apk, and only WIFI SHOOT worked..; But it s cheating, for it uses the same local network. SO it's not REAL Wifi Direct as intended.
And NFC beam that could be similar...uses Bluetooth ! not wifi direct..
Wi Fi direct is not mature . Only if you have Samsung phones / tablets !! absolutely prefect and fast. Good job Samsung..
Hi I have a moto g, I tried to update kit kat update but it says it requires wifi only. I tried to disable wifi, even tried to disable wifi updates in google play>settings and setting it to download auto, but nothing works.
Is there any Pc software for my moto g or another way round? I was hoping I could force the phone to use my data allowance since got plenty data available just not wifi.
I do not have wifi at the moment only wired connection.
Any help is appreciated thank you

Or he could use Reverse tether
It works after a couple of minutes of waiting.
You just need the right config.
I think it dupes as wifi automatically.
Ad-hoc depends on the wireless chipset inside.
He could use Connectifiy
thanks both for the work arounds I like the idea of that reverse tether app sounds like the easiest and why not have full internet via usb cable
Tried the reverse tethering but it was bit more complicated, it suggested a usb/network moto g driver should be installed bit strange since I already installed the moto g software/drivers.
So gave up when no network device appeared...
Feels strange to have a moto g but no real pc software, but guess everything is via google play account and synced anyhow.
Anyhow installed connectify and used a cheap usb wireless dongle and wifi sorted, the phone was already downloading kit kat before I had to tell it too so just goes to show you android loves wifi and data plans are an extra bit on the side.
Hi,
I have a LG G3 phone. I'm trying to use Guest mode but it doesn't work. Simply, the Cast icon does not appear in any app. Normal cast (when connected to the wifi network) works.
BEFORE YOU ASK
1) I tried everything the FAQ and the Troubleshooting said, including Factory reset, reboot, wifi and data settings
2) It's not only my problem. Other people with G3/G4 have the same problem:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/3ix6mt/chromecast_guest_mode/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/guest-mode-doesnt-appear-to-t3089211
https://productforums.google.com/fo...hromecast/category$3Areport-a-technical-issue
3) I investigated and found out this in not Chromecast bug but phone bug. In fact, Chromecast creates two wifi networks with hidden SSID which work as a beacon for the phone. You can't see them in wifi network list, but if you download wifi analyzer you can see them (I saw them with a Samsung Galaxy S4) with SSID '?', which means no SSID, and the MAC address following. Well, I installed wifi analyzer on the G3 and they don't appear in the list.So this means that LG G3 and G4 can't see networks with hidden SSID (whereas all other phones can), and this is the cause of the problem. The bug is several months old. Has anybody got a solution/suggestion?
I have no solution but can confirm you are not alone. I have the G4 and no Guest Mode whatsoever.
I spoke to LG, they pointed the finger at Google. Go figure.
I have been unable to Cast my screen to my tv without a wifi modem or Chromecast... all my other phones LG V20, Galaxy S7 Edge, Motorla Z can screen cast directly from my phone to TV without wifi, but my Pixel just shows devices available... will the pixel get an update or is this option just gone ???

yes but the home app specifically says a wifi connection on the same network ia needed. The issue is with the wifi direct even when connected it will not cast. This has to be a 7.1 Nougat issue.

Hmm...... That might be a good question to contact Google about or check out the Google support websites. I use all my casting needs through my chromecast. Hence why I don't know.
I'm having a similar issue with my Pixel. I can cast fine natively through the YouTube app to my Roku, but when I just try to cast a screen mirror it says no devices detected. It will not detect my 3 rokus or the Chromecast.
Per the Google Support page for Screen Casting. You "Must" be on the same Wi-Fi network to screencast.
https://support.google.com/chromecast/troubleshooter/2995236?hl=en#ts=3081748,6308580
Cast your screen from your Android device

If you want to cast via Cast enabled apps without being on Wi-Fi, you need to make sure that Guest Mode is configured and enabled via the instructions here.

Hi !
I just bought a Lenovo M10 3rd gen Tab for my work, on Android 12. The purpose is to create a mobile hotspot, for a sonometer to connect on, in order to be configured.
Problem is that there is no hotspot option in the network configuration.
I also bought a Samsung Tab 7 for my son, Android 12 too, and there is no option for this neither.
As both are version without 4G, it could be considered normal, as you won't have anything to share in the most common usage. But in my case, i just need both devices to connect together, without internet.
I then tried with an old Asus Zen Pad, on Android 5. The option is there and it works well. The devices connect together, and i can access the sonometer web page by browsing to it's IP address.
Then, it seem that the option has been removed since an Android version between 5 and 12.
Did someone face this ? Is there a trick ?

Thanks for your answer.
I tried this kind of app. All had a strange behavior. Some didn't work at all, some other created a network without letting me change the SSID, and/or won't allow connection.
One of them (i don't remember witch one) didn't allow some features arguing that i'm not root. And I don't know how to root this tab...

Since there are two versions for the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus (3rd Gen), Wi-fi only and LTE, then perhaps the manufacturer may have deliberately removed the ability to set up a hotspot. Try connecting some cheap Ethernet network card to USB-C, then you should be able to create a hotspot in the apps I provided above.

I also tried with an other adapter is use with my macbook, but it doesn't work neither.

That is, we have a solution:
On the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus (3rd Gen) tablet with Mediatek MT6769V/CU Helio G80 (12 nm) processor - (Wi-Fi only model) it is not possible to run a wifi hotspot.
Please change the title of the thread, which suggests that it applies to all devices, which is not true.

Since it is known that something does not work and will not work, there is also a solution.

It looks more like a surrender than a solution.

Is your ethernet adapter in it also not working?
According to >this< specification, it has native Wi-Fi Tethering.

No surrender. You will not make a lion out of a cat.
It is common and normal for a manufacturer to block some features in a cheaper variant in order to sell a variant with full functionality (more expensive). The customer has a choice before buying.

The ethernet adapter seems to work, but there is still no option to create a wifi hotspot.

That's how you share your internet connexion from wifi to an other device via ethernet. This is not what i need here.
My need is to create a wifi hotspot where other devices can connect. No one will have access to the internet, but i don't need it.

"Mobile hotspot

1.
From Settings, tap Connections > Mobile hotspot and tethering > Mobile hotspot.
2.
Tap to turn on Mobile hotspot.
3.
On the devices you want to connect, activate Wi-Fi and select your device’s Mobile hotspot. Enter the Mobile hotspot password to connect.

Connected devices are listed under the heading Connected devices."
On the second screen, mobile hotspot : That's exactly what i need. But i don't see that option on my tablet. Probably because it's not a LTE one.
It's the same on the Lenovo. The option exists on the LTE version, but hidden on the wifi only version
