wireless miracast screen mirroring with Netgear PTV 3000

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?

Mirroring Thread (miracast/slimport/widi/chromecast/etc)

Anyone have any experience with any of the above methods for mirroring/'casting'?
I have the chromecast and I think we have all understand how that works and its limitations.
anyone bought any slimport or widi/miracast accessories/dongles? please share your setup/experiences,etc.
I have a 2012 samsung smart plasma that has a WiDi feature (60PM6700) but even though it recognizes the N5, it will not cast.

no slimport dongles?

widi is not miracast. I have a netgear ptv3000 that supports both. I get my n5 this week, we'll see if it works.

I'm curious about miracast as well, though I'm pretty sure it sucks in comparison to iOS Airplay Mirroring. Didn't have too much lag, and most videos or information I've seen about miracast show a pretty significant lag.
I bought a slimport off ebay. it was one of the cheapest ones I saw. Works great. Display is butter smooth, landscape fills the screen completely, which is nice because both tv and phone are 1080p. There seems to be little to no input lag between phone and screen. The average person wouldn't tell a difference. Also, the usb connector is nice as I just plug that end into the back of my tv, so it charges the phone while displaying on screen. I have been looking for a micro usb extension cable to connect to the slimport, as I have a small living space, and something like a 10-15ft cable could be hidden pretty well and I could use it from my couch to charge my phone as well as display on screen.
In case anyone was curious, I have a Samsung TV with "Allshare". Read up somewhere that its supposed to be some sort of Samsung customized Miracast, but alas, I could not get my phone to connect to it wirelessly.

Just tried it on a newer model Sony 50 inch TV with Miracast support and it didn't work
They really need to enforce the standard otherwise its useless...

I tried with a SONY R520 TV that is supposed to have Miracast screen mirroring, the phone and TV try to connect with each other but ultimately it says registration failed on the TV. The same thing occurs with a 2013 N7, and my dad's N4, all running KitKat. I wish I could have tested with my dad's N4 on Jellybean, but the update came the day before we ordered the TV...
I ordered a chinese Miracast adapter on ebay, will report back when it arrives.

Works just fine with my Netgear PVT 3000.

Oh jesus. That is the thing that completely turned me off to miracast probably forever. Seriously, a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 both lagging like crazy sitting 10 inches away from that miracast box trying to stream 720p video. You have to be kidding me Netgear. Thats the best you got? I get that the problem is miracast in general, as its an absolute disaster of a "standard", but you can't advertise that your box is compatible with a device if its a disaster to use with that device.

Exactly my experience with the ptv3000 and a n4 then a n5.
So I ordered chromecasts, fingers crossed.

so some people are having good results with the PTV 3000 and some bad (amazon rating is 3 stars)?
All i want is one box/accessory to stream. it seems like none have good reviews.

Thats because "miracast" isn't a standard and its completely random if your device will be compatible with it or not. And then when it does work its random if it will be stable and if it will be able to stream video well. Its the worst. Save yourself the frustration and just get a slimport dongle.

I think the Dongle should support connection without DRM like for xperia tab. PTV has been reported to not work on Experia tab thread
Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk

yup - this certainly looks a lot like a mess!
Both the OP's TV and his phone are claimed on the official Miracast website to be compatible (links at the bottom of this page) yet clearly they lie.
Shame - I saw a demonstration video of miracast a while back and was a bit blown away - had been on the lookout for a dongle, my wife having an aversion to wires in the living room.
edit - you probably read this glowing review of miracast already - which happens to link to the same page I linked to above

Landscape mode works great using Slimport. Not 100% sure if it's outputting 1080p though or if it's a scaling issue. There is very little noticeable lag, so I don't think it's converting to 720p. I'll test it later with a resolution app.

MHL Cable Discussion Thread

I wanted to make this a discussion thread for MHL cables. Currently, I have a Rocketfish MHL Cable and I love it. It doesn't have to be plugged into the wall via micro usb for it to work, unlike my ONN brand cable.
Other things I would like everyone to discuss, is quality and content. I love the quality of picture that mine displays, pretty sure it's 1080p, but how about other brands?
Now for content. Has anyone been successful in getting a MHL Cable to work with protected material? For example, when I hook mine up and try to watch NFL Mobile, it says "HDMI Is Not Supported". Is there a Rom that will work? Maybe an App to download? Xposed Framework module?
Also, speaking of nfl games, has anyone been successful in getting a Super Nintendo emulator working with hdmi and two controllers for playing multiplayer games?
Basically, let's discuss anything and everything MHL for HTC One M8!!!

I never put much thought into MHL, but came to this topic hoping to learn something. I found your cable on Amazon, and a lot of people are saying it doesn't work. Others are saying it does, but with an adapter. Together, the two add up to the cost of a Chromecast (which I have no experience with), so, what does an MHL cable do that Chromecast doesn't, aside from charging your phone, of course.

I'm hoping to learn something too. I'm going to buy a chrome cast tonight. I did some searching on the web and found out that I can use my HTC One M8 to screen mirror or mirrorcast to my TV. Someone out their has created an App that enables mirroring with any rooted device. Link is here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567717826
The guys over at Wal-Mart were nice enough to let my play and connect a chrome cast up to my phone. After downloading the file, I was able to watch NFL Mobile Network and Stream Twitch to a TV without any problems. There was a slight lag from what the phone showed, but nothing terrible as the sound and video synced up perfectly on the tv I was testing it out on.
I'm glad I got those two apps to stream to a TV. Not sure if an MHL Cable is going to offer anything more than a chrome cast. I'll see if I can tell a difference in quality or lag input. Thanks for bringing up the chrome cast. I know the HTC One M8 mirror option isn't supported yet, but with the phone being rooted and the extra app enabled, I can now stream anything and everything from my phone to my TV.

I haven't had any experience at all with MHL but do have a few thoughts about it vs Chromecast. I come from a long list of Motorola phones which all came with a dedicated HDMI port. If MHL is the same thing as HDMI, Chromecast is the way to go. At least for me. Since getting the ability to mirror on Chromecast, I really can't think of any advantage of using HDMI. There's a couple of really good advantages for using Chromecast though. Assuming MHL works the same way HDMI does, using it doesn't allow you to do anything with your device while mirroring on the TV. If you do something on the phone, the TV displays it. Also, the screen on your device has to remain on all the time. If you happen to use/stream Netflix or Youtube or some such thing, the screen never shuts off. However, if you use Chromecast for those types of things (or other apps that support it) you can still use the phone to play a game, browse the web or whatever it is you want to do. It has no effect on the movie you're playing. A big plus is you can also turn the screen off while streaming a movie or whatever. If you turn the screen off while streaming a 2 hour movie while using Chromecast, the battery drain is next to nothing compared to HDMI (again, assuming MHL is the same). If you mirror with Chromecast, then things are pretty much the same. The ability to turn the screen off or browse the web, etc.while streaming media is a huge advantage for Chromecast. At least, the way I use my phone, it is for me.
I apologize if my post is somewhat off topic but I figured since Chromecast came into the conversation and I do have experience with HDMI, I'd put my two cents worth in. Just my thoughts on the subject.

FWIW, this cable works on my phone.

Google Pixel (XL) Miracast

Does anyone know if either Pixel (XL) has Miracast built in? My Nexus 5 (2013) has Miracast and can cast to a wireless display. However, my Nexus 6P can not. I'm looking to finally use just one phone to connect to all my other devices (ie. TV, Spro2, PS4, and Computer monitor). I think it's sad I use my Nexus 5 (2013) just as much if not more than my Nexus 6P, being the newer phone. Hopefully if the Pixel has Miracast, I can have just one phone again. Someone PLEASE help me with your tech-savvy knowledge. :fingers-crossed:

Possible Miracast functionality
I came across this article that mentions a trick that enables Miracast support. I have not received my Pixel yet so I am unable to test. I too am interested to see if this works since I have a pico projector that uses Miracast.

Sent from my sailfish using XDA Labs

I just went through that hack on my pixel xl adding the line to build.prop did indeed and the ability to check wiFi connect in cast settings and it actually shows that it's detecting the TV and connects but doesn't transfer video or audio hmmmm.
If anyone has successfully done this please let us know
Thanks ZR1

I have now tested this, and it does not work. It works as the last poster described. The "Enable Wireless Display" button does work now and you can pair it with a device. But once you attempt to connect to the paired device it is disconnected. Seems like it's missing some library or something.
I want to keep this thread going as I really need this feature to use in my Truck while in the back cabin. I have a Belkin Miracast Dongle and I like being able to send my movies from my phone to the TV. Help a trucker out! I'm pretty tech savy, and can grab logcats or whatever is required, message me and I'll be happy to test or gather any data for you.
Thanks in advance.
PS. Keep this thread going.

Waiting for a solution to this? I have Miracast in my car and can not cast to it

I really wish this gets resolved soon. I do impromptu powerpoint presentations and other seminars often, and I've been doing those just with my older phones and Miracast-supported TVs or projectors. Now I have to use the Microsoft WiFi Display Adaptor with the Pixel, which is fine except for those times my external monitors don't have HDMI port.
What's interesting is that I can project photos and videos from the Pixel to a Miracast TV without problem, using AllCast. However, I really need to project everything else, not just items from the gallery.

I really wish this gets resolved soon. I do impromptu powerpoint presentations and other seminars often, and I've been doing those just with my older phones and Miracast-supported TVs or projectors. Now I have to use the Microsoft WiFi Display Adaptor with the Pixel, which is fine except for those times my external monitors don't have HDMI port.

Is AllCast an app?

It is an app in the play store. I can cast to my Miracast Sony Bravia HDTV just fine. So, this app apparently does something that the built-in cast function doesn't.

Has anyone figured out how to get this to work? I am rooted, (XL by the way), changed the buildprop and rebooted, everything works fine, it trys to finish the pairing process for screen mirroring but nothing happens with the roku. I can screen mirror perfectly on my LG G3 so I know its not the roku, must be something with the XL. Any help wold be greatly appreciated.

I may be wrong here but my fire TV has mirroring and I searched and searched on mirroring Android phones and I read that after a certain version Google pulled the feature from the newer OTA updates. I've tried downloading apps also and nothin works.

It does but as far as I know it only works for google devices like the Chromecast. I've never been able to get it to mirror to my LG smart TV that has Miracast enabled.

Does the Microsoft display adaptor actually let you mirror successfully? If so, link which one?

I have the original adapter.

I also have this question. I am trying to mirror my screen into my 2016 Honda CR-V head unit with my Google Pixel XL.

Using MHL Cable/Adapter to View Phone on HDTV

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.

Actually, I've seen MHL adapters on Amazon and MicroCenter.com that say they're compatible with the S4 and up. Is there any to mirror the phone on a HDTV, either wirelessly or by a cable, that work well?

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.
