ANSWER:
The Moto G has Miracast support from the hardware, but it is disabled by default on 4.3. If you want to enable it you need to modify this build.prop: persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
With the 4.4.2 update it is enabled by default.
Original question:
Hello,
Do you guys see any hardware related reasoning behind the wireless display option missing from the Moto G?
Wifi direct is working perfectly and I don't see why is that piece of software is missing.
/M
Hm.. good one.
Most probably because of the low price. "Want this? Try Moto X"
...if you're living in the EU.

It's possible under the KitKat update, the option is restored according to a screengrab on another thread.

since then I found, that it is possible to enable the option through modifying the build props even on 4.3. Do you know if you have seen it on stock 4.4.2?

Infusion ROM from till as has miracast enabled and it works, according to till as its a software thing and not hardware. So it may help to check there or use the ROM.

Build.prop needs to be modified to enable screen mirroring. It is a small change in one line from 0 to 1
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
Reboot and there should be an option for screen share in settings.

Miracast
Has anyone managed to get Miracast working using a PTV3000 (push2tv) Netgear device with the Moto G after this amendment?
Would really appreciate any feedback on this.

it is there, but missing the part where you can enable it. settings/display/cast screen
there should be a menu button (which is missing) where you could switch it on

I have this Miracast dongle: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WIFI-Displa...-AirPlay-Wireless-TV-Share-NEW-/380780733199?
My phone does make a connection to the dongle with Wifi direct (see pic). Also under Wifi settings --> Wifi direct it lists the connection as active. According to the manual of the dongle, when it says 'Ready to display', it should start the screen casting. Unfortunately it doesn't. It also doesn't show anything under display --> cast screen.
Everything seems to be in place with the connection. I'm wondering whether our devices miss the supporting hardware, or that it's just a disabled setting by Motorola to not cannibalize on the Moto X.
Up for this
I was looking for Miracast dongle for my TV to link it with the G, because of the cast option after kk update...
But now i m not sure at all that the G can do it :silly:
can you please share your experiences with Moto g cast?

On latest kitkat, with root I was able to change the for mentioned build property, then I was able to enable wireless display and LG 660s TV showed up and I was able to duplicate my scree with around half a second lag perfectly. Afterwards however I was not able to reconnect, somehow it tries to connect multiple times and kills the previous connection. I read somewhere that it's the TV's fault, but I cannot be sure until I try out with an other one

I received my 360 cam yesterday and updated/installed the software for it but I still can't get it to work. The app opens fine and will connect to the camera but will either say it is unavailable or will display the image from the camera before closing and going to the home screen and saying it's unavailable. It also won't recognise the micro as card I put in that works perfectly with every other device I have used it in.

Had these same problems with mine. Oddly enough fixed it completely when I uninstalled my VPN adblocking app... disabled the adblocking didn't work, but uninstalling did. Very strange.
This camera still sucks though as far as I can tell. Apparently it's not compatible with Google Cardboard... like.. seriously? I haven't found any way to view 360 degree videos in a side-by-side manner to support Cardboard. Your options are apparently just moving the phone around in a non-VR fashion, or buy LG's own headset....?

Phone connects to device (Bluetooth for initial connection, then WiFi direct). Makes sense that VPNs would cause issues
Anyways, the workflow is kinda weird... if you mount the camera/SD card and download the raw video, the Raw video consists of two circles with no optical corrections(black borders around the two circles)
See photo under #1 for an example: http://mediashift.org/2016/05/6-things-i-learned-about-shooting-360-videos/
If you download the video through the app/WiFi correction(very slowly, 1MB/s), you get a optically corrected/merged video (no black bars)
First screenshot in link below
https://havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/360-video-ricoh-theta-facebook
Video #2 plays properly with the lg app(and other cardboard apps). Video #1 doesn't...
So this means I need to download videos from device very slowly (to get the optically corrected video) instead of dumping the raw video via microsd/cable, to watch it on my phone, or postprocess on my computer
Thanks for the replys. I am using ad blocking so I play around with it in the morning.
The more I understand about LGs "friends" implementation the more I feel like they have set themselves up for a failure.
It seems like using Bluetooth or even a direct usb connection would have been a much better way to go instead of Wi-Fi for the 360 cam. Not being a programmer though I'm not sure if it would even be feasible to use a connection other than Wi-Fi.

Yeah mine disconnects constantly over Wi-Fi. Seems to be no range on it, so you're force to be in every scene. Not being a very good friend.
is the LG 360 cam compatible with the Galaxy Note 3? I have heard of incompatibility issues with other phones making me hesitant to get one

It should we compatible with any Android Phone running Lollipop or higher (5.0), but I haven't tested it specifically with the Note 3.
LG 360 Camera Connection Problem Fixed
I had the same problem, not being able to connect to my 360 camera.
Here's the solution.
Turn the camera on, do not open the camera manager.
go to wifi on your phone.
look for LG camera wifi.....
if it is already familiar with it, press forget network.
press on the network name again and try to connect, it will prompt you for a password.
the password should be 00 followed by the last 6 digits of the serial no of the CAM
it should connect
open the camera manager again and everything should be fine
I was about to give up before seeine this advice. Going to try it shortly. Hope it solves the problem.
Thank you.
I wonder whether you know about this problem.
LG 360 Cam suddenly shut down after I switched on the power button every time.. sigh... Kindly help as it is only about 6 months old...
My LG 360 wi-fi does not even become visible. I can see its bluetooth but it won't pair. The LG 360 Cam Manager app cannot connect to the camera either.
I'm running the latest firmware and have the latest version of LG Bridge. I've also reset the 360 cam a number of times but not luck. It's basically a paperweight at the moment. Any ideas?
Try to check the w-lan visibility of your 360 cam with your router or an other smartphone.
Maybe the problem happens only to your phone.

Thanks. For whatever reason I can see the LG's wifi signal on my phone today. My phone can connect to the wifi but when I open up the app it is unable to connect to the 360 and eventually disconnects from the wifi signal.
Progress from yesterday but still a mystery why it no longer connects.
Is it me having user error or stupidity of lg... When connected to the camera via WiFi direct I have no data connection. ( You can't use wifi and mobile data at the same time) so how in the hell do I check for updated software?????????

It is because of LG. I understand why they did it that way and I'm not sure if there is another way they could have done it without a tethered connection. You use the "LG Friends" manager app to do the updates.
Thanks! The other thing that would have made this thing awesome is a physical switch or button to change between 180 & 360

Look at the manual, I believe the button on the side switches between 180 & 360.

You short press the button on the side to change modes.

I am have installed the superlivepro app on my new moto g to monitor my cctv. However it will not connect and gives me timeout error messages. The cctv system is fine, I have followed the process and it works fine on a samsung. So the moto g must have a setting that is preventing connection - any ideas anyone?

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately this isn't something we would know much about, have you tried contacting the app developer for support ? they may have a better Idea. You could also try asking thr other moto g users here

My wife and I both got the 2015 J7s from Virgin Mobile. Both of the camera apps seem to pull focus constantly. Like if I hold the camera perfectly still the camera will still try to focus repeatedly even if I tap the screen for touch focus. I've seen a good amount of complaints online from other people about this too.
I installed Opencamera and the focus works there perfectly so this seems to be a software issue. Unfortunately, Samsung has not implemented the Camera2 API on this phone so Opencamera has limited features.
Anyone else have focusing issues with the camera? Is there any solution or way to access the Camera2 API on this phone?
