I have not been able to find the answer. Looking seriously at this tablet but would like to cast shows or movies to my TV at home or in hotels without WiFi. I do this from my S7. I would like this in a tablet as it can hold a lot of movies. I can't find if it supports WiFi direct or miracast. TiA.
WiFi Direct
tap WiFi under Settings
I've still had no luck with Miracast. I agree with you that Samsung (Tab S2) does a much better job in enable Miracast right in the quick notification bar.

Miracast Fixed
Update: after spending a few hours looking into the settings. I successfully shared my screen and sound on my Smart TV.
Setting - Advanced Setting - MirrorShare
After tapping to select your target device, you can enjoy the content on a bigger screen. There's a noticeable lag compared to my Samsung tablet but the quality's alright. Its onboard sound chip sounds amazing though.

How do I enable miracast on the Galaxy S2 Tab? It's been driving me nuts trying to figure it out.
Huawei Tablet T3 10 Miracast
Worked for me on a Samsung Smart TV:
-Settings
-Smart assistance ( it's the small hand)
- Mirrorshare (under Ogthers)

I recently upgraded my Nexus 7 and saw this in the "What's New" section:
Share what’s on your phone on the big screen.
Android 4.2 allows devices to enable wireless display. You can share movies, YouTube videos, and anything that’s on your screen on an HDTV. Just connect a wireless display adapter to any HDMI-enabled TV to mirror what’s on your screen quickly and easily.

I immediately went to Amazon and looked for different "wireless display adapters" per the announcement above, but I'm totally in the dark to which are going to be compatible with the Nexus 7. Does anyone have a recommendation?
Also, will I be able to connect to my Wi-Fi and still have an internet connection? I'm assuming I will be able to and it's more like they're all networked together (Computer, Display Adapter, Nexus 7, etc.), correct?
Lastly, I don't believe I noticed a new app on my phone to facilitate the connection once the Wireless Display Adapter is purchased and connected; am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for all of your help, you guys are the best!

Thanks for the direction. Checked that thread out and found that Miracast is not compatible with N7, but is there any other hardware/software that would be?

The N7 currently does not support Miracast, and there is doubt it ever can since it does not support 802.11a.
ya gotta love it

I have scoured the internet for days and days trying to find the solution to not having hdmi capability and hopefully I'm on the right path. The wireless way sounds like it will be the only possibility so I was reading an article on engadget . Unfortunately I'm unable to post a link to it on here. But if you search nexus 7 WiFi media you will find the article I am referring to.
Any of you more intelligent people have any comments, sounds like a 100 dollar solution. Thanks

That's not screen mirroring. It's just DLNA/UPNP. And there are better and cheaper solutions. First look if your TV already supports DLNA/UPNP. If not, get yourself a raspberry pi and install raspbmc, openelec or any other distro that gives you XBMC. Then just enable it in the XBMC settings and get yourself a xbmc remote and a UPNP/DLNA app like bubbleupnp. That way you can even watch nearly any media you want on your big screen including avi(enable unsupportet mime types in bubbleupnp settings) and youtube videos(in the youtube app just press share and then share it via your xbmc remote).
But it is still no screen mirroring like miracast. I still have hope for miracast on the n7, since MIRACAST DOES NOT NEED 802.11a it is only optional for better performance in some situations.
And if that doesn't work, there is always the amazing open source community. Android Transporter just needs to be implemented into Cyanogenmod and given sound support and we don't need to wait for the big players to implement miracast on our n7.
Look at what asus has to say.

Good luck, that push2tv sucks. It lags with Netflix.

Miracast works well on my F-Series Samsung TV. It won't connect with Samsung Allcast, even though both devices see each other, but the screen mirroring works through Miracast using Wi-Fi Direct.

Not even close. The process is buggy, but it does work . However, using a Samsung GN 2 with Allshare on the same Samsung Smart TV worked as it should, with no picture degradation. I use it almost exclusively with online broadcast apps, so various other factors are at work, like wireless signal strength.
Hello,
Just got the Nexus 6P , after years with Samsung note series... I was wondering , is there anyway in Nexus 6P to do screen mirroring over the wifi ? without any dongle?
I tried the Cast option , but it did not recognize my Sony tv which is connected to the same WIFI network, while the Samsung note had that "screen mirroring" option built in, is there anything equivalent in the Nexus?
Thanks, :good:

The cast option is designed to be used with a Chromecast. Some TVs and other video devices will register as Chromecast for some things, but not all. For example, my Vizio Smart TV shows up in the list of devices I can cast to in Netflix, but all it does is launch the Netflix app on the TV. I can't actually cast to it and control it from my phone like I can with an actual Chromecast.
Nexus devices on do Chromecast by default. If you want Miracast then you need root and to modify the build.prop file to enable it.
I can verify that if you root your Nexus 6P and add the following line to your build.prop, it will work with miracast devices. I just had it working with my screen beam pro that I bought to cast my Nvidia Shield Portable.

Actually it is built in! I just hooked up to my Samsung TV. Go to "Cast", tap the three dots, check enable wireless display (make sure the mirroring function on your TV is on). Bam! your connected.

This is not available on Nexus 6P (and Nexus 6 too) on stock.
I wonder why Google removed this and made it such that users have to root in order to activate Miracast....
Because they want you to use Chromecast, which is very Apple Esq of them

I can only think of this being the reason.....
I think the main reason why it is disabled by default is because Wi-Di (as Intel likes to call it) requires "certified" hardware to allow you to mirror your screen over Wi-Fi.
Same for PCs... you need a certified Wireless Network Card to enable Windows 8-10 to mirror your screen to a Miracast Receiver.
TL;DR: Don't blame Google for this..!
Not really the excuse, LG had pretty much the exact same model as the N5 which had it on as default, so the hardware was certifiable in that case. Pretty sure other Hauewi devices are also certified. Far more likely to be Google pushing Chromecast.
Well that sucks that we have to modify build.prop to get Miracast mirroring to work. I was hoping to do the "systemless" root so I could take updates easier. I use ARU Unchained with my Pioneer NEX car stereo to mirror my phone, so I can use all the functions of the phone directly on the NEX. I have a Screen Beam. All works great with my rooted S5. I have not received my 6P yet, but I have a tracking number. Good to know in advance, I guess. Not sure if this is a show stopper for me or not, but I'm sure not happy about it.
I can confirm it works out of the box on a Samsung j series 4k smart tv. I just had to pair with the tv through the wifi direct menu.
I was able to connect using direct WiFi but how do you share screen after that?

I think you need Chromecast in order to simply mirror the screen. But you can actually mirror the content most content that is to most Smart TV's

I don't want to root it, I saw someone posted that it worked by connecting direct wi-fi so was wondering if there is anyway but looks like 2 options are chromecast or rooting unless someone can help suggest connecting using direct wi-fi.

Yes, those are your two options. And if you go Chromecast, you can't start mirroring without a data connection. That was the killer for me, I needed to be able to mirror in remote places with no data signal.
That cast is useless. How can google do that?

I have recently purchased a LG Smart TV. It has all the bells and whistles like wifi , miracast etc etc. Is it possible for me to mirror my phone to the TV while playing games, and also cast my Cinemabox app to the TV (while watching shows). In simple words can i have same functionality of a Chromecast. The TV and phone will be connected to the same wifi router.
If it matters anyhow, the TV model is LG 55UF851T.

Noone has a solution??
Mirroring via the Miracast protocol doesn't require a wifi router, it's a direct wifi point to point connection.
The Chromecast can also work through a direct point to point wifi connection (guest mode).

My query is a bit different. Considering the TV has wi-di and miracast, isnt it possible to mirror the S7 screen to the TV. I need the same for casting my games etc. Is it possible to mirror a S7 screen to a LG Smart TV.
The answer is easy...
If any TV set supports Miracast the answer is yes.
However performance for games is a bit poor...

yes. it is possible. in fact, the function to mirror a smartphone screen to TV supporting Miracast has been there since at least Samsung S4.they have changed the name of the functionality a few times but the end result remained the same and different phone manufacturers have different name. Samsung called it Smart Connect now.
http://www.samsung.com/us/connected-devices/
I have tested it, if you need to know and it works fine.
I have the same problem. With my Axon7 I can cast YT directly or the whole screen trough Settings/Screen/Cast but with the S7 Edge I can't find such option. Any step by step guide?
It will be awesome if someone can mod Samsung Note 9 to display Dex UI wirelessly (i.e. using wifi mirroring technology).
Personally, I'm against it because the lag will just ruin the experience... But, well, experiencing it myself can change my opinion
Um OK.

I have the Microsoft wireless adapter (Miracast) that I use with my Surface Pro 3. I also occasionally use it with the Note 8, mostly for watching videos. The experience has been great and the lags are infrequent. Certainly not a dealbreaker.
I think it will indeed be cool if Dex can be done via Miracast. I use couple of Dex apps (Dex Max and Desktop Hub) and it will be interesting to find out what their developers think. Maybe it will be possible to add a toggle to the apps that trigger Dex mode instead of screen mirroring when the phone is connected via Miracast...
Great idea
I guess Samsung heard you. Read this article ->
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/10/02/samsung-working-wireless-dex-connection-upcoming-devices/
Awesome! After 2 years, my post now became a reality with the recently announced Galaxy Note 20 ultra.
Wondering now if this feature can be brought to our old note 9/note 10 via software update or does this require a specific hardware?
What you think guys?
Would be very happy if it's a software thing and they give it to us with the OneUI 2.5 update (if we even get that first xd).

GOOD NEWS !!!
Well I don't how and when it came to our Galaxy Note 9 but the Wireless DEX function is indeed there !
I was just testing the mirroring function with my Galaxy Note 9 and a Amazon FireStick (should work the same with a Google Chromecast) connected onto a 24" monitor via Smart View, then by chance at the end I just pressed the Dex icon and the Dex desktop display just appeared on the monitor !!!
I still have a message telling the "connected TV" is not fully optimized for wireless Dex but it's still working.
Then, There is a second message saying we can use the Note 9 as a touchpad and it works !
I don't have a USB-C hub with me but I guess we could use a mouse and a keyboard as well...

Don't remember when it came either, but I've been using it flawlessly on my roku tv for streaming from sites. Still get hiccups with it occasionally after a period of time though. Reconnecting usually seems to fix them it seems.
