Has anyone managed to get Screen Mirroring working?
My Z detects my Belkin Screencast alright but when trying to connect it just says "Connecting..." and then after a while goes back to the normal Screencast home screen without ever connecting.

I have a D-Link DHD-131 Mainstage WiDi adapter, supporting Miracast because it runs WiDi 3.5 firmware (correct me if this is not correct). I can find the device, but when I try to connect the D-Link says that it has found a device that wants to connect and after a few seconds the message disappears. The Xperia on the other hand is just patiently counting down from 120 seconds to 0 and except that does nothing.
Are there any people that use Screen Mirroring? If so: did it work with your adapter? What brand adapter are you using?

I have tried connecting to a Samsung AllShare Cast Hub, which may not be 100% MiraCast compatible, but according to some video on YouTube it also works with the LG Optimus G Dual (also a 1080p phone)
I found the following issues:
Connection is 'successful' but screen remains black and no sound is transmitted
On one occasions I somehow managed to hear my phone's sound through my TV - haven't managed to do so since
WiFi is disabled (indicated by a pop-up message) as soon as screen mirroring is activated, and re-enabled after the screen mirroring connection is closed!!!
The first 2 items may be compatibility issues, but the third one surprised me and is probably a limitation in the Xperia Z. While the Galaxy S3 can have WiDi and WiFi active at the same time, the Xperia Z apparently cannot
Edit: note that in order to connect to the dongle, I had to press a button on it first. Before pressing the button, I would just keep seeing the same countdown timer you describe here. Maybe that helps somehow?

Hmm... My WiDi adapter had no buttons at all, only a reset-button. I tried resetting and pairing, but that didn't help. Thanks anyway for your reply, at least I'm not the only one having problems using the Xperia Z's Screen Mirroring function with 3rd party adapters... I wonder if there are any combinations of adapter/XZ that do work...
Hi I knw that the wifi disconnects when u use the screen mirroring , but at the same time I also have a note 2 which has the tool called all sharecast but when I use that the wifi still works along with the screen mirroring any solution to make this work on our XZ?
I just tested this feature on teh Xperia Ion and TX both stay connected to the wifi during the screen mirroring so you stream data from youtube on your phone via wifi and same time mirror it to the screen , any alternate way to achieve this on Z? or a third party app ?
Yes I am having this problem on my tablet z too. On my note 2 it can connect on both lets hope its a software bug and not a hardware limitation.
Hello,
I've got a problem with my setup.
I connected Chromecast through the HDMI to VGA adaptop (with audio output) - the setup worked fine straight after connecting power to the Chromecast.
Everything was fine for a day or so and then I turn on the TV and the screen was black.
I checked the connections etc but no joy - I tested all components separately and everything works as expected.
I think the issue might be related to the recent Chromecast update... is that possible?
Does anyone else has a similar problem? What I could check/do to sort it out?
Thanks!
Hi,
Not sure if this can help, but I had a similar (blank screen) issue when the chromecast device was starting up with my monitor turned off (connected with a hdmi/analog audio splitter - for audio transmit only). After turning the monitor on and restarting the chromecast everything seems to be fine, guessing chromecast would initialize the display at boot time only.
i have tried several methods to get whole screen mirroring working with both miracast receiver and with a chromecast ,all of it fails
so is there any way make miracast or whole screen casting work ?
i tried it with chromecast app but it connects and then disconnects in 2 seconds
Chromecast works for me on rooted stock rom by using the google home app.
It failed on cm12 as well as on the nexus rom. I tried the "share display" function in cm12 as well as the google home app. They both see the chromecast, but when I tryed to connect, it disn't work.
Anyone knows what components are relevant to
make the screenmirror function work?
At least the cast function in the youtube App worked on all roms i tryed.
Cast screen to my toshiba tv smart
My mobile mi 11 ultra can't complete connecting
I can see my tv when cast searching
And i can press connect
But it doesn't completed
Stuck on connecting..... And then disappear
Just turn On GPS and try again. I know it's confusing but work.
