Screen Mirroring on non-Samsung TV??? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just bought a brand new LG TV (55LA8600) that supports miracast. I am on Phoenix Rom v7.3, rooted, Philz recovery but stock kernel. I can see the LG TV under screen mirroring and the TV can see my S4. However, when i try to connect it seems to try to connect but then fail after say 10-15 seconds. I thought miracast was a standard protocol and so my S4 should work with the LG TV but guess its not that easy. I have read and some people say the ability to connect depends on whether its rooted, custom rom, custom status, hdcp off, etc but so far found no clear anwser.
So just wondering whether anyone got the S4's screen mirroring to work with non-Samsung TV/devices. If so, what did you do??? Also do i need to install Samsung Link (formerly Allshare)????

Looks like i answered my own question. Confirmed s4 can miracast with screen mirror to lg tv! If rooted look for sorg's post!

I have one of these - Samsung Wi-Fi Display Hub for Galaxy S2/S3/S4/Note 2 - Black . Works well but I did find you need "Official" statuses in both bootloader and settings to work with my Note 10.1. Haven't tried with my S4... This is for total screen mirrorring. It shows everything I do on my tablet on screen...
The DLNA sharing is only for movies, music and pictures...
I have a Samsung TV and the DLNA works well...
My advice, look at the reviews and buy the cheapest if the TV you have doesn't support DLNA... I'd check that 1st...

My tv supports DLNA but I'm only interested on screen mirroring.
So that means even if I but the hub it won't work for me because I using omega rom?

Probably not though I have read in the note 10.1 forum of it working. Not to my experience however. I use a rooted stock rom on my SG Note 10.1 I have flashed using Mobile ODIN. I run triangle away 1st and get all Status's "Official" with 0 flash count but when I tried flashing other roms it went ass up... You might be able to try the workaround on triangle away but that requires the paid app...

Thanks. I can buy the app, that's no problem.
So all I need to get for screen mirroring is the hub not the dongle right?
Yep, the hub mirrors everything but the dongle actually says its a DLNA dongle...

Purchase the allshare dongle, plug in to available hdmi slot, turn on your screen mirroring on your phone, dongle should be recognized...If you get error msg that cannot connect or find the dongle, make sure you have the latest firmware update for the allshare dongle

Mirroring problems on TV via Slimport after Lollipop update

Hi, I am having problems with mirroring my smartphone screen to TV when using slimport after upgrading to Lollipop. It is like my tv can not detect anymore my device. I used to see under "SETTINGS/GENERAL" there are connection options like Charging, Images/Videos uploading, LG PC SUITE, etc. Now it is gone. My G2 version is F320L. Anyone experienced this too?
slimport no longer works on lg g2 ls980 scince lolipop update
Yes it does not work on my lg g2 ls980 ever since lolipop installed
I upgraded to Lollipop and slim port mirroring still works fine for me. There is nothing to select. When I plug the hdmi cable to my TV and select that source my screen is mirrored. I don't have to touch anything on my phone for it to work.
That being said you should just invest in a Chrome cast. It does the same thing wirelessly and there is more you can do with it besides just mirroring. I prefer the Chromecast over slimport any day.

What ROM or OS supports MHL to HDMI

I recently added service to my S4 At&t mdl version. It's running Goldeneye 53 from several months ago. It's 5.0.1 lollipop. I've read that since 4.3 people have been having issues getting video out working. I have a new Alpine x009u in my vehicle but it won't show video. I have a new Samsung mhl and an older one which I don't know from where. My Alpine will show Chromecast on the screen but I don't want to use this device as a hotspot for Chromecast. I thought I could get it to mirror but it still wants a WiFi connection. Any help would be great. I tried connecting my s4 to a standard TV hdmi but no luck either.

LG K20+ - Screen Mirroring/Miracast with root?

So I was curious - those of you who have rooted the K20+ are you now able to use Miracast devices? I've gotten my MetroPCS K20+ to work with Chromecast but I need it to work with a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter but LG/MetroPCS both say the phone doesnt support miracast however i did see a post that mentioned rooted it does. This is literally the only thing I need different on my phone. I dont need a custom rom just the cast option. is this doable? or should i not bother? Thanks!
