I have the KDL -65W 950B TV and the Xperia Z3 (T-Mobile Version), I've successfully set up screen mirroring for the two but every time it turns on and connects it automatically disconnects/turns off. Any ideas how to fix this and get screen mirroring working properly?
I use my Roku Stick HDMI, to mirror/Miracast my Z3 on to my TV, works perfectly. I think it may be a problem with your TV. Some other person on this forum with a Bravia TV had a similar issue which was solved by a TV firmware update if I am not mistaken.
I have a W6 sony TV . refresh your internet content on your TV. Turn off any battery saver mode on your phone ,restart phone ,ideally make sure you have a wireless booster plug ... After that it should work fine

I had tried refreshing the Internet content on the tv before, no luck. Tomorrow night after work I'll try turning off stamina mode and giving it a shot. Appreciate the tips.
May actually try it with my Z1s too, hadn't even tried it with it yet.

Hopefully it's not my tv, it did just update the firmware earlier this month. I'm new to the smartphone tv game, so not sure on update cycles...but I'd have to guess they don't update very often?

The TV's will do an upgrade about once every 2 months , sometimes twice. Normally they are only for adding an app to the TV etc , so won't effect the phone. Some updates however are big , it took me 2 months to get my phone and TV talking ! And I'm an IT bod ... They should work with our issue, they will on the W9x android Sony tvs

So I noticed the other night I was able to stream a movie from my Note 10.1 to my Samsung TV. I have 2 of them, which I guess both have a built-in Allshare support. Do all new smart TV's have this and or some sort of feature? i.e. if I went to a friends and they have an LG? or would I need to get something like this?
For tv's other than samsung you need the Allshare cast hub/dongle... This allows you to use your tv set as a large screen...
Would you mind briefly sharing your method?

Connect Allsharecast hub/dongle to the TV via HDMI (turn to right channel), pair note10.1/SGS3 and see all things mobile on your TV screen....
This works on all TV's but be aware that rooted devices must have stock recovery installed to work. I've also noticed that some stock roms won't work no matter what recovery you are using....

I'm rooted with the CWM recovery and the Allshare cast works all the same (but maybe it's necessary to reset the counter with Triangle Away as I did).
Did that but wouldn't work, Back to stock recovery and it worked....
I'm on UK JB. That might make a difference. Also I found that even though I use triangle-away to reset the counter, on JB it stays on 1 every time I reboot...

Can't that be accomplished without a dongle? I swear I've seen that advertised somewhere before...

I have too, My TV is on the list of compatible devices, an LED/LCD TV from 7000 series 2011 (Samsung of course), but it just won't connect.... Might do for later TV's but after a lot of hair pulling and some absolutely useless advice from Samsung's help desk it, "You're not doing it right, that's why it won't work", I bit the bullet and got the dongle...
Works now, after some hair pulling and experimentation as I was rooted....
I even have an ES8000 model from this year and I can't get it to work. Hopefully Miracast will solve the issue if Samsung doesn't fix it on their own.

So if I want to see everithing that goes on on the tablet screen on my tv (xda for example) I need to by a dongle, but if I only want to see the movies or foto or music on the tv I don't need the dongle. I can send movies on the tv screen but I'm not able to mirror everything.

In theory, yes... In practice....?
So just an update on this on my original question. Just got a new LG 8600 Smart TV, and I guess it supports Allshare (or whatever protocol the tablet uses). I started playing a movie, hit the send to TV button and it worked on my LG. it took a little longer to load then the Samsung TV, but it worked fine.
Hi, allshare is different to allshare cast. Allshare sends your movie to the TV as data, the tv then decodes this data and actually plays the movie itself, this is done using DLNA and so any DLNA tv will work with allshare, not just sammsung TV's.
Allshare cast is a different animal altogether, its part of the miracast protocol and simply sends the picture from the phone to the TV, the decoding is done by the phone, the TV simply mirrors the video and audio. Currently the only way to get this to work is to buy the samsung allshare cast dongle. To use this simply plug it into your TV HDMI port and turn on Allshare cast option on your phone.
Netgear PTV3000, I bought this from BestBuy.

Basically, it's a convenience device, and don't need a MHL cable for XZ to share its screen.
Both play photo and video are quite smooth, but has around 0.5 sec delay.

Not good for gaming

Thanks for sharing. Can you turn the phone into landscape? And play videos and stuff?
As an FYI, this device will NOT work with CM10.1's built-in Miracast streaming on any device except for the Nexus 4.
My own personal experiences with Miracast, prior to receiving the Z (haven't played with the Z yet in this regard...):

I encountered problems since the 4.2.2 update. i have black bars around the screen and the performance is poor. never had these issues with 4.1.2-er firmwares.

it depends what video (resolution and most important bitrate). Standards from YT are played OK but if I play my recordings from TV (FHD at 10m bps) these are lagging all the time. More over if source video is interlaced (i'm still talking about FHD) then resulting picture from this device is one big disaster.
Does anyone know if Sony are looking at resolving this ridiculous situation of it disconnecting the wireless internet connection when mirroring ? Possibly with a firmware update .
Whats the point if you can't mirror live stuff from the internet?

I also have PTV3000 before I have XZ.
My PTV3000 has latest firmware which is 2.2.16.
I tried mirror display and it worked right away.
You can turn the phone into either portrait or landscape, and the TV will show exactly the same.
There is one issue I want to find out is display of phone on TV is a bit oversize.
This issue can be fixed with WiDi on PC, but I couldn't find any similar setting on the phone.

Exactly. You can only mirror stuff that does not need an internet connection. My Samsung S3 can Mirror and use Internet access. I really need to understand what is causing this:
- Is it some stupid hardware limitation
- Is it a bad implementation of the solution in the current build of the Tablet Z Android OS
- IS THIS GOIING TO BE RESOLVED IN A FUTURE UPDATE
Screen mirroring was one of the reasons I bought this Tablet and if it can't do PROPERLY then it then time to get rid of Sony products and stick with Samsung products that can do it properly.
Currently on Android 4.1.2.OS 10.1.C.0.370

First, PTV3000 is a WiDi adapter which enables you to use TV as a wireless display for your WiDi ready computers. However, it also supports Miracast for smart devices such as smartphones or tablets.
Since it is an external display, you can see whatever you have on your computer or mobile devices.

thank you, I know all that! I want to know is if I can use interent for duplicating screen!
I've had no end of grief with Miracast but last night I got an update for my LG TV and, for the first time in months, my Xperia Z connected.
Once you connect, WiFi is disabled and you must either go without data, or use mobile data. It's not ideal at all and annoying, but I'm not sure if my Tablet Z also does this (if it does, great, it doesn't even have mobile data as an option on mine!) or the Nexus 4 that I've never tried to connect to my TV.
I've no longer got access to an HTC One or SGS4.
Personally, I prefer MHL (which also charges the phone) and there's less of a delay and you can still use a BT keyboard, mouse, trackpad or PS3 controller.
Didn't want to start a new thread just to talk about other miracast adapters so I'm going to post here.
Is it just me or did sony improve miracast performance with this update?
Currently I'm using Chinese miracast dongle running realtek CPU and it works without problems on my XZ. With recent update it seems like they have improved the performance cause now I can play 1080p BRrip very smoothly, although now 100% smooth but with synchronised audio and video. Before the update it wasn't possible. Will report how it works more thoroughly in few days.
One thing I can't stand just like the rest of you is the fact that it disables internet connection to use miracast. Hopefully they'll finally fix this with 4.3 or 5.0. BTW, does anybody know if they did any improvements to the miracast in 4.3? Hopefully it can be improved to achieve fool smoothness, cause lag is something that can be fixed only on the dongle/adapter.

Hello, can you give me the reference of your Miracast key? I'm looking for an alternative to Netgear PTV 3000.
thank you very much
I bought this one http://www.adomax.com/en_2x.asp?lmid=2&id=160&pid=33&sid=0 but it can be found under different brands, still can't figure out whose the real manufacturer
One think that I don't like about this particular dongle is that by default it launches in dlna mode and to use miracast I have to manually change the mode.
Apart from that I'm really enjoying this device.

Hi. I just bought the micro HDMI to HDMI cable to connect my Xoom with my TV (Sony Bravia KDL-32V4000)
Is working on 720p / 60 but looks like is zoomed on TV.
On the same TV I have also 2 HDMI with xbox 360 connected and MPEG4. Everything just work on others HDMI except this of Xoom.
Somewhere I read that I must find over scanning and turn it off but no such option or Screen Fit on my TV.
Is CM 10.1 bug or my TV needs properly settings? How to fix the problem?
Any help?

So i have an Xperia Z and a friend has an Xperia T. Together we watch a lot of movies on the MHL of my Z.
It would be much more comfortable for me if i didnt have to sit up and manually change/pause/forward the movie/episode.
Is there an app which i can install with which i can control my Xperia Z with my friend's Xperia T?
Bluetooth would be preffered although i do have a wi-fi in my home.
Screen Standby 2.0 B2 and aVia
I have a Notion Ink Adam and a galaxy note.
I use the adam to connect to my TV via its HDMI out and then use my note 3 to stream movies directly via wifi to the adam, which then displays it on the TV via HDMI.
for control of the tablet, i use Screen standby 2.0 beta 2 version. aVia is the video streaming and playing app.
screen standby has a remote controller feature which connects with any other device running screen standby via wifi.
you need to install both apps on both phones. set aVia as DLNA server on the phone from where u have movies stored and as DLNA renderer on the phone which is connected to TV.
i don't know how tech savvy you are, but have a look at these two and let me know if you need any more guidance on how to set them up.
cheers!

Hello.
I have NVIDIA SHIELD K1 tablet and Sony KD-55S8505C TV (with Android TV on-board). I wanted to play some games within streaming feature. It works fine, but the problem is when I want to use HDMI to display the image on my TV. Once I connect the HDMI-miniHDMI cable, nothing happens... I tried to manually change the display mode to console, but I'm getting a message that HDMI is not connected.
After this I tried the HDMI with other TV and it works correctly. But my Sony is a new one, all HDMIs work fine (I tried them with Blu-ray player and my laptop).
I also tried restarting my tablet and TV many times (I found out it helps sometimes for ppl).
Is there any other thing I can check? No idea what to do.

Did you ever solve the problem? Mirror mode worked on one of my TVs but not another TV.
Yes. There was a problem with my TV's HDMI ports. Something on motherrboard was broken. I sent it to Sony service and they repaired everything. It has worked like a charm since the first use.

Console mode works but not mirror mode so HDMI port is fine.
To me it is happening that my nvidia shield tablet does not recognize when I connect the HDMI. I did a hard reset and everything works perfect again, but after a few days, unchanged nothing stops working again. I did the test with different cables, different adapters HDMI-MiniHDMI and with different screens but I always have the same result unless I make a factory reset again.
Maybe some app, update interferes with HDMI..
Deactivate auto updates in Play store and for Nvidia.
