Wireless miracast screen mirroring with netgear PTV3000 works fine with occasional stuttering with full HD videos.
See my upload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxZKpg3o-dk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Gaming there is a lag sometimes with stuttering but works fine usually for videos and photos and Google music and presentations etc. Great accessory. Just hope they enable this feature for screen mirroring for my nexus 7 too soon
for those who don't have the allshare cast hub or other wireless display solution check out sku 7511057 at bestbuy.com. Best Buy has a SMALL rocketfish miracast adapter that works with the s3, s4, note 2, and anything else miracast.
Sorry for no link, I can't post URLs yet.

This looks interesting in that it looks like it can be powered entirely from the TV. But I have had Rocketfish products before and they are not that great.
I'm especially interested in the range and latency, Someone shed some light on this.

I also have the ptv3000 but my tmobile s4 wont connect. My htc one will but the s4 wont. Are you running a custom rom or kernel? And if so what are you running. Im on infamous v1.1 and using faux kernel

I don't have any miracast dongle but my guess is that you have a debloated rom which removed all share cast or something relevant to the miracast function.
I have the PTV3000 and so far I have connected my S4, Xperia ZL, Note II, S3, and my Centrino laptop.
For connecting the Note II and S3, you have to use the Samsung AllShare Cast app. It usually takes 2-3 tries to get it to connect the first time, but when it does connect to the adapter the first time subsequent connections seem to happen right away. Also, the Note II and S3 seemed to lose all wifi when connected...any data pulled from the internet seemed to need mobile data (ie. streaming Youtube means using the mobile data to get the Youtube video, and wifi is used to stream to the tv). On the S4, this limitation does not exist as both wifi and miracast works fine. I guess the S4 has an additional antenna or there is something in the ac standard that allows simultaneous transmission and download.
The range is excellent...streaming works a good 50-60 feet away. There is lag no matter how close, so I would say its not ideal for gaming, but for just sharing our screen its great.
The S4 gets really, really hot as well...say goodbye to battery life with this of course.
If you get the PTV, make sure you update the firmware as a lot of bugs were present in the previous firmware. Works great now.

no my SGS4 is stock rom (GT-I9505) and the PTV3000 worked out of the box as shown in the video and later works with updated firmware from netgear website. I have not tried the beta firmware from google forums yet. The links to all this is in my youtube video description.
I have made other uploads of this working with my dell laptop and another video showing the latency. To note the latency, rather than watch the latency video continuously, you need to pause the video intermittently on youtube and see the timer difference between my phone and TV and you will note that latency is between 250-350milliseconds. Ok for videos and photos and angry birds etc but not for any time sensitive gaming. If interested in those videos then click the link on my tag line below which will take you to my uploads on youtube
I think if you are rooted then there are some HDCP errors from what i read. So i read elsewhere that if you do the triangle away procedure then may work. I havent bothered rooting as am fine with the device as is. Its for my wife as the phone is too small for me I am waiting for the Note 3 or something better

samsung galaxy s3 miracast mirroring works fine
samsung galaxy s3 miracast working fine too via this adapter. No stuttering at all for videos but same lag of about 250 milliseconds but both audio and video is fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xkh2xbeA-qk
powerpoint slides work fine too and using the allshare cast app on the S3 powerpoint slides are shown on the TV but phone shows both slide and extra notes at bottom which isnt shown on TV. so this will be useful for presentations
one difference i noted is that video play on the S4 screen and TV but on the S3 video plays only on TV and not the phone which just shows the allshare cast app

when you first connect the adapter to your TV and your S4 detects the adapter and then you click connect for the first time, then your TV should display a code which you need to enter on your S4 and then they should connect fine and the code wont be asked when they connect again. See if this helps. Did you input the right code displayed on your TV when the dongle is connected to your TV and powered and input signal on Tv shows the dongle output.
I dont think it asked me for a code? When I connect the rocketfish to my TV a rocketfish screen pops up with a setting button on the bottom left and some technical stuff like ssid and it says searching for peers then I flip on miracast on my s4 and it finds my TV and I connect. TV screen says connecting then connects then instead of my phone screen coming up some words come up and tells me my device doesnt support HDCP. I noticed that audio does come through like if I play YouTube I can hear the audio on my TV just no video Just a black screen.
I dunno if it's something in the rocketfish settings but I don't know how to get into the settings it doesn't come with a remote.

on my netgear i get this HDCP error too. First time i connected to netgear from my SGS4 the netgear input on the TV displayed a code to enter on my phone. my pone also showed a pop up box where i fed in the code. it hasnt asked me to give the code again.the same process happened when i connected my WiDi laptop to the netgear the first time. But even after feeding the code and accepting it, it still briefly brings up a HDCP error screen which is shown on my videos and then that error screen disappears and mirroring happens.
Have you rooted your phone and flashed a custom rom if so then you might be getting HDCP errors as far as i am aware and remedy is triangle away process as far as i am aware. Although i havent tried anything like that as havent needed to do it.
I'm not rooted. Thanks for the help I'll keep fooling with it see if I have any luck. It should work the lg og connects right away so maybe there's a setting or something I am overlooking.

when the s4 shows your adapter under miracast screen mirroring setting. click to forget device and start connection process as new device and see if you get the option to enter code and if so then it should solve the problem
Ok so I figured out if I hold down the link on my s4 to connect to the TV I get a pop up that says pin connection the rocketfish gives a pin I enter it On my phone then it connects only problem is I get the same message.

The S4 works fine with Rocketfish's Miracast receiver. I bought one last night at Best Buy to try it out. There is no code needed, but you do need to follow the instructions provided. When connecting for the first time do the following:
1. Turn off TV.
2. Insert receiver into an available HDMI port.
3. Insert the microUSB to receiver and USB to an available USB port on the back of your TV. This is to supply power to the receiver.
4. Turn on your TV and select the input you chose for the receiver.
5. You should see the Rocketfish splash screen.
6. Enable display mirroring on your S4.
7. Hit the WPS button on the receiver.
Within a few seconds you should be connected and see your S4 screen mirrored onto your TV. I've tried the receiver in both my Samsung and Sony TV's and both connected fine without any issues.
It works ok for the most part, but I most likely will return it as it does have its flaws. If you still have trouble, remember to return to Best Buy within 15 days of purchase along with all original packaging and contents for a full refund.

I have experienced the HDCP error message one time, but it was for the AppleTV using AirPlay. The same symptoms occurred: audio goes through but no video. However, the issue was I had an HDMI cable that didn't support HDCP. After I swapped out the HDMI cable the issue went away.
However, since the Rocketfish receiver is plugged directly into your TV's HDMI port and not via an HDMI cable, then I would suspect that your TV may be using non-HDCP components or you have a defective HDMI port on your TV. Try plugging it into another HDMI port or test it out on another TV to see if you have the same problem.
I did everything you described still get the error message I posted. I purchased mine on ebay... the box mine Came in is different then your box maybe I purchased some knock off crap? On the instructions that came with it it says I need to go into settings>display>wireless display and select the SSID noted in step 1. Only problem is I have no idea how to get into the settings you can't navigate into the settings?

I've just found out my S6 doesn't support MHL I've tried MHL 2 and 3 adaptors and they don't work.
I don't have a Samsung smart tv and I don't have an allshare cast (which Samsung have discontinued)
How can I screen mirror please? Am i missing something?
Oh damn. I have to even tried my mhl
The manual just talks about 2015 Samsung TVs and doesn't say anything else I can see about tv-out.
I know they leave it off the s5 mini but on a flagship device?
I've spoken to Samsung, no MHL, no all share cast support. Basically their answer was buy a Samsung smart tv. Very poor show
I was able to mirror my screen to an amazon fire TV with a note 4, has that been taken out in the s6? Guess I should just try it huh
Please try it and let me know
You can cast a video or movie through video player. That's about it.
Other than thinking everyone who wants to screen mirror will buy a Samsung smart tv why would Samsung do this?
You said exactly why. But Chromecast is cheap and so many apps are supporting it these days, this is not an issue for me.
I can also confirm, doesnt work with samsungs own mhl cable, then i bought a microsofts miracast dongle, tries to connect but fails everytime, i think the only way to screen mirror with this thing is indeed to buy a samsung smart tv, but i went to best buy last night and the rep told me it doesnt work yet because the tvs need a firmware update, then i read it will work with upcoming K series tvs, asked a samsung rep when we will see them in the US and he said 2016, are u kidding me samsung? Im seriously considering returning this phone.
Samsung SideSync
SideSync lets me display my phone on my laptop which is connected to the TV. You can supposedly drag and drop files, but I haven't tried. I can rotate the display and control my S6 using my wireless mouse and keyboard. Fun playing a game on the big screen. You can even choose to keep the phone screen active in a side by side mode. Sound transmits so now I can play music over TV from phone. Not the perfect solution, but better than nothing. Still going to look into casting via other methods (xmbc or amazon fire tv stick).
I'm trying to get video out either via MHL or HDMI from my S6E to my Alpine x009 and no luck. My alpine just says device not supported. Chromecast needs wifi so I don't think I can get it to work....I was looking forward to being able to watch Uverse while I was sitting in my truck on a 9" screen. If anyone has any luck please let me know. I just bought a chromecast to see if I can mirror my S6 to it but haven't had time yet.
Wow.. I am completely shocked.
I finished installing kodi earlier with the plan of connecting my S6 to the tv in my room via MHL like Ive done on my previous Galaxy devices for years. I did not even notice the lack of MHL on the specs and not a single review I read before making the upgrade mentioned it either. I'm assuming this would be a hardware feature and not something a firmware update could enable so this is very very disappointing. I know people are saying that chromecast is the solution but in reality it's not, especially as KODI/XBMC won't ever officially support it and the work arounds to enable support are far from perfect. Guess I'll never be able to rely on just the one device like I hoped.. it's a shame.
The last few versions of chrome have been beta testing mirroring the screen is not perfect but may be of some help

The biggest thing was being able to mirror without WiFi which I think is what the newest version allows. No mhl or usb video out is ridiculous for a device that is $700-$1000 in my opinion.

Did you ever figure out how to transmit video from a S6E to an X009? Fighting that battle myself right now.
So I went to use my MHL 3.0 adapter like I normally would with any Samsung phone and to my surprise it didn't fit! Thats pretty disappointing.... any alternatives that don't require streaming from Wifi?
Didn't fit or didn't work? I've a Samsung MHL adapter and it fits just fine. I can't test to see if it works till I get home or near a tv. Also I know Samsung has a micro USB adapter for older MHL devices that don't have the required pins (had to buy one for my s3) it was only a few bucks on amazon when I purchased one, it may be worth a try if your issue is fitment.
Mhl is not supported with note 5 according to samsung. Google cast and screen mirroring is the only options for this device from my research
I need the samething. I don't have a WiFi at my weekend house.
I've used this before. It uses WiFi Direct so you don't need a house WiFi.

You're wrong.
In fact, the Note 5 DOES have MHL 3.0. As quoted from the GSMArena.com Note review...
"The USB has MHL 3.0 functionality, which allows it to output 2160p video at 30fps, coincidentally the top mode for the camera."
Link to the page: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note5-review-1286p3.php
But Samsung did one of the following:
*Disable MHL
Removed necessary plug-ins or apps
*Restricted use for other apps
* - It's possible that MHL interferes with Gear VR, because I plugged in my cable, and it recognized as a VR headset for a split second before
canceling.

...I'm really sorry, but I can't take you seriously. The way you replied either makes you look like some idiot businessman or some little kid. I just can't. Besides, we weren't talking about SideSync, we were talking about if MHL is integrated and even usable on the Note5. So just please, I know this is in fact a forum page, but please go fix the way you present information.
The Samsung HDMI Smart Adapter that I bought, and had no problem using with my Note 4, does not plug in to my Note 5. It is a bit strange looking micro-USB plug compared to all my others. My Note 5 female connection is not damaged. I also note the adapter male micro-USB will not fit in the female power slot of the adapter, either. No one else has had this problem?

there are 2 kinds of micro usb jack for MHL connectivity, 5 PIN and 11 PIN, you might want to look into that.

Hey guys, I have been searching but I couldn't find, is there any way that I can project my phone to external display which is a projector by the way with a vga port.. So a microusb to vga converter can do this job aur any thing that can help me plz do tell me.. Thankyou..
No one???
I don't think you can by cable. You can by Casting (wifi).
Apparently the one plus one is not mhl compatible, so an usb adapter won't work like already said by JeffDC. You can cast using miracast if the projector is compatible, or maybe search about buy a device like a chromecast for exemple ?
No mhl support, chromecast only. The new chromecast devices are good for 5ghz
Boosted 1+1
Does your projector have HDMI input? If so, chromecast would work nicely.
Chrome-cast, or really any wifi direct gadget ought to work. I use Netgears in my house and on travel. Perfect.
Chromecast is the answer for your question. If you don't want to buy it then connect the projector to you computer or laptop and use some screen mirroring apps from play store to mirror your phone to the PC.
Mirrorop from play store is a good option.

Hey, guys. So, my Dad has the Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime & would like to view movies and other content on his Samsung UHD HDTV. Knowing the phone doesn't have screen mirroring, and I have looked at a few options on the Play Store (pretty much all of them require a home wireless connection to work). He doesn't have Wi-Fi, so I've been trying to find a way he could connect the phone to the TV's HDMI input.
The problem is that a lot of the cables/adapters out there require a phone that's MHL certified, and as of yet I have been unable to determine whether this phone is certified for MHL. Has anyone here had any luck with using such hookups, and if so what is the connection medium & where was it purchased? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Trust me thats a lie. I bought one myself and then i looked up what devices are actually compatible on the official mhl site. I also got the same device. Your phone has to have a special chip that allows an mhl cable to send the display to a tv. For some reason they stopped putting these chips in phones years back.
