Is there a way to Miracast from the original shield tablet on 5.1.1? I would like to be able to cast to my Fire TV. I know it used to be an option prior to LP....

I want to wirelessly display ...my moto g 3rd gen screen on tv and laptop that support HDMI.
But its not working with Ez cast miracast dongle.
Pls tell me how to enable and connect it.
I am not rooted.
New and need help please. I have not been able to get the screen casting o mirroring to work with my NVIDEA Shield Tablet WI-FI. I had Android 5.1.1. and now have 6.0 and no change. I am able to pair the two Android devices and both say connected but when I press Cast it has never indicated any available devices. Is it not able to Cast to another Android device? I am trying to screen cast to the Epson Movario BT-200 glasses which has Android 4.0.1 but also Miracast. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.4 inch is able to screen mirror to the Epson glasses but it gets a bit laggy. So I thought the NVIDEA Shield tablet would have more power but I am not able to get the Tablet to recognize the glasses in Screen Cast even though it does recognize and even connect to the glasses over WIFI. Have tried 2.4 GHz, 5GHz, and Auto band modes. Unfortunatly there is no Android update for Epson BT-200 glasses and likely never will be. I have rooted all devices and have tried about 7 different screen mirroring apps. (Epson Glasses do not allow Google Play store without rooting and some apps won't load).
Any advice welcome. I don't mind spending the time trying. I am not really smart but I was able to get my Shield tablet out of a boot loop by flashing new .img over USB from my PC through DOS command prompts, so I can usually figure it out with time.
Miracast hasn't worked on my original shield tablet since 5.0 update. I had used a Belkin to miracast, it's firmware is current and works with W8 and W10, and several older Android devices...I think it really only casts to Google cast devices now!

Hi, I've read that the fire tv remote can be paired to work with the shield but if one does so will it still work with the fire tv? Thanks.

Hi yes it does work. Just go to Bluetooth settings and when it asks you to put it in pairing mode hold down the home button on the fire TV remote.
Yes it will still work with the fire TV/stick but if the fire device is in sleep mode on the second TV then it'll wake.
Sometimes it may need to be re-paired with each device after you use it with the other device

I tried doing that today and had no luck. I heard that firmware updates to the fire TV blocked the remote from connecting to 3rd party devices
Hi. Any one know how miracast with a easy cast dongle. On my shield tablet don't appear the dongle on Cast .

Should be simple, your device should show up on the list of cast screen devices after a while, it doesnt pop up immediately like a chromecast but if you wait a while it should pop up on the list, I dont own an ezcast but I do have a chromecast and a chinese tv box, the chrome cast is detected immiediately while the tv box takes about a minute before it shows up on the list
Hi I'm using RoW 5.2 firmware and I noticed that there's no mirroring cast anymore. I just bought a MS Wireless Display Adapter and it works flawlessly with my other Android 0hones but not with Shield Tablet.
Is mirroring really not supported? Anyone can help me set mirroring? Thanks!
