Use the mirroring, Multi-Screen option from the drop down menu to connect wirelessly to your Wi-Fi TV.
I had success on connection to my Samsung with Miracast. I took 2 - 4 attempts then it connected fine.
It transmitted video and sound via 5 MHz WLAN to TV. But the quality of speed seems to be not good enough. I had drops in video but on sound.
I tried the same with my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 which worked well on Windows 8.1. Now on Windows 10 I get no connection at all.
So I have no alternative.
Did anyone ever succeed in connecting to TV via micro USB to HDMI cable? I'm going to be traveling soon and would like to connect it to my hotel TV so I wanted to know if I should go and buy the cable or not,
Thx

I'm thinking about getting a Shield, but I've never bothered with wifi connectivity on my desktop PC. Can I still use the Shield as a USB gamepad? What about the streaming functionality?
Thanks for any answers!
Its not immediately clear *exactly* what you are asking here.
You can stream to the PC as long as you are on the same LAN, so if you connect the shield via wifi to your router and the PC has an ethernet connection to the router then that will work. Or you can use a USB-OTG adaptor in the shield with a USB ethernet adaptor to connect the shield to a router via ethernet too. If your desktop doesnt meet the requirements you can use splashtop instead of the official NVidia stuff.
The USB port on the shield though, well, its a regular android device. Its no different from plugging your phone into the PC. You can't use the shield as a USB gamepad like that. Best off just buying the wired version of the xbox controller if you want a PC gamepad, they aren't the cheapest (but they are far from the most expensive) but they are reasonably good quality and well supported
Just as a side note regarding Ethernet over OTG cable. Some apps (like the Play Store) won't connect unless you are using WiFi or mobile connection.
It's not the Shield's fault, just the app when it enumerates the network connectivity.
So far I only found the Play Store to ignore the network connection over Ethernet, same is true on all the devices I tested so far: TrimSlice (Tegra 2), TF201 (Tegra 3), My Touch 4G, Samsung Galaxy SIII and the Shield.
The Trimslice is the only one with a dedicated hardware Ethernet over PCIe, the others I used an OTG cable and hooked a USB HUB with Ethernet built in.
I don't stream PC games but when Nvidia was demoing the Shield's streaming capabilities they were using an Ethernet dongle so they didn't have to fight for WiFi connections from the attendees at the conferences they were presenting at.
To clarify, I was hoping I could simply plug in a Shield to my USB port and use it as a USB gamepad, but by the sounds of it that doesn't seem very likely.
Can't you just connect ps3 controllers to it over bluetooth? If you can't do that yet I'm sure you will be able to

No, you cannot unfortunately. If that is what you require, buy a wired xbox controller.
When you set a device to USB tether, it adds another USB profile that creates a network connection over the USB - with some hacking it might be possible to use this connection. I think adb can also do some kind of port-forwarding to allow communication between the device and the computer.
It might be possible to get something working, both for controller input and streaming, but not sure how difficult this would be or what the performance would be.
But I don't think any of this will work very easily out of the box unfortunately!

Hey, im want to mirror my screen from my galaxy s6 to my samsung smart tv UE40ES6710 but the problem is that the wifi from my smart tv is broken, also i cant scan for wifi cause it doesnt find anything and sometimes it crashes and hang up when i try to connect my tv wirh my wifi. So my question is can i mirror my screen from my s6 to my smart tv WITHOUT having my smart tv connected to wifi??? I tried a usb wifi adapter but when i plug it in my smart tv it doesnt get recognized, but the wifi adapter is ok cause it works on my pc. i tried every usb port on my tv but it doesnt help. Can i use something like screen mirroring or quick connect but without have my smart tv connected to internet??
And no ethernet cable, too
Try a Chromecast. Plugs into hdmi, has its own Wi-Fi, you can mirror your phone. $35.
EDIT: ^ What he said.
Chrome cast is cheap and awesome

Is there any other way to stream my screen and sound without chromecast? The problem is that my network adapter from my tv seems to be broken and that the software is absolutely buggy too, i couldnt update the girmware from my smart tv with a usb so i need to try another way without buy something new like chromecast stick or hdmi to micro usb cable.
I don't think the S6 supports a cabled connection, so ìf the WiFi on your TV is broken a Chromecast is going to be cheaper than replacing the TV connection.
Hello guys,
I have an old Ainol Novo 7 Aurora II tablet with broken screen (only one half is working) and I would like to connect it to my TV and use it as HTPC with Kodi.
Problem is when I turn my TV off, the tablet stops sending signal via HDMI cable. As I turn the TV on again I have to walk to tablet and manually start "HDMI Switch" app and select TV as the output.
Is there a way to tell my tablet to permanently send the signal via HDMI cable?
Yo guys ive got the chinese version of the vivo nex s - i tried to connect it to my TV with a HDMI dongle. Didnt work. Didnt find a setting to configure it... can you help me with that? OTG was enabled.
Don't know about the HDMI but you can connect it via WiFi by enabling WLAN display found in settings. And when using an app that can be viewed on your phone in landscape mode, it'll also show on TV in landscape mode.
Vivo to HDMI not working
I have the international version and can confirm that connecting the Vivo to my TV using HDMI doesn't work. Same dongle, cable, TV connected to a Samsung Note or MacBook works fine. The Vivo is not detected and doesn't project. Not sure if this is hardware related or just a software problem.

I am using miracast for quiet some time with my LG tv. Works mostly perfectly, but my issue is the tv of my neighbours. My miracast automatically tries to connect to a tv, if there is only one showing up. because my tv is slower hardware-wise, it does not always appear as fast as the neighbour's, which is why miracast sometimes tries to connect to my neighbour's tv automatically. I don't want this to happen.
My idea is, if it was possible to do either one of those:
1.block my neighbour's tv from showing
or
2.only allow connection to mine
My S7 is rooted and using superman rom
PS: English is not my native language so pls forgive mistakes in my sentences or odd describing.

I'm having the same problem now. I can cast to my neighbor's LG TV and another neighbor's Roku, as well as my own Samsung TV. I have an up-to-date Windows 10 desktop computer.
