[Q] WiFi Direct and shareing to a TV - LG Optimus 4X HD

hi
one of the features i loved about this phone was the ability to stream videos to my TV using WiFi direct, i think i used an app called SmartShare on the phone to connect to the TV with and it worked well with many smart TVs of different makes with WiFi direct. I have downloaded WiFi direct apps from the play store hoping to regain the same feature but either they don't connect, not supported or they only send files and not stream. I've been trying to restore my firmware from cyanogenmod to the original 20A but have had no luck. I have cwm recovery installed so i can't get into the lg recovery mode. I thought i saw a post with the commands to flash the original recovery but i can't seem to find it anymore.
anyone know a way for me to stream 1080p videos through wifi direct (imediashare is good but the constant buffering annoys me even when i put an access point in the same room or connect a cat 5 cable)
or help me put the stock 20A back on, the custom lg roms have smartshare missing
thanks

Miracast support???

Guys I got a PTV3000 which allows for widi & miracast wireless display mirroring. I had an Xperia Z which mirrored perfectly but my new HTC one dont ;(. I dont want to spend money on another dongle e.g. HTC Media Link. As the device has the capability. But I have not being able to connect it. 2 questions, will All Share App apk on Samsung work on the One to force it to display? or even an apk of the Mirror link app from Sony. There must be a way to connect it via an apk or something? any help would be welcome.
Google and see if you can get the APK's, install them (Hopefully they will instal) and try it mate, thats all you can really do. . .
All Share is from samsung and will not install on HTC, at least I didn't managed to install it on nexus.
I don't know for mirroring but i've used skifta for streaming media files to tv.
The phone does support Miracast for sure but you just need a app to use it.
I was able to view photos on my LG TV via the Sense gallery but videos would not work, kept saying cannot play back media.
A mirroing app like the Xerpia Z would be cool.
giotecno if you try and install it to your One and it works please share it.
[I sold the Xperia z and didn't extract the apk's so I am stuck. not sure where I am gonna find a program that will enable the miracast to mirror via wireless. what I don't understand is Miracast is going to be a whole standard why limit the phone so it just connects via your own proprietary media link dongle. Mind you with JB 4.2.2 update we might just get the wireless display option to use miracast.

So you can play games on the TV too?
How did you switch on the mirror mode?
After loading the latest firmware on my netgear PTV3000. I rebooted the phone and one it came on went to media out in settings and the device appeared in the list and then just selected it and the mirroring started in a few seconds. works great with videos games etc. there is avery tiny lag but its more than acceptable.

Nekromantik try this, make sure your TV is ready for MIracast and is looking for the device. Turn off wifi on phone and then fully power off your HTC Onc and switch back on and then go to Media Output this will enable your Wifi on the phone and hopefully will see the device.

[Q] Use mobile data while connected to wifi

I would like to be able to stream netflix over 4G while connected to a wifi point that has no internet to stream to chromecast.This would allow me to watch netflix while traveling on the hotel TV using the Asus WL-330NUL ( I can't link it yet).
Alternatively if anyone knows how to adhoc connect with chromecast that would be cool (But this is the wrong forum for that)
I have googled both of these issues and searched the wifi issue on XDA so hopefully this isn't a repeat.
I am not rooted since I have JUMP and that would void it but I have rooted all my other phones.

Z1 Throw via WiFi problem.

Hi guys,
I have a some problems with Throw function in my Z1. Firstly I want to sorry for my poor english. I wish you can understand me.
I have a PC and VAIO laptop, and Throw via WiFi doesnt work. If I enable Bluetooth it works correctly, but you know, range of BT is terrible, so I want stream music via WiFi.
If I use PC Companion, wireless connect work perfectly, I can copy files, and update my phone, but when I use Throw, and select PC or laptop via WiFi it loading for while and finally nothing happens. Even sound timer always display "00:00". When I click Play button, it's again the same - loading and nothing.
In Windows Media Player I turn on Stream->Allow remote devices to control my computer , and in further options "Allow all" in sharing streams.
I fight with that since 3 hours, and I give up... Anyone any idea ?

I have no idea what you're trying to do but :
Throw means throwing informations with your phone not sharing or taking control of another media.
With my Z1 i can throw music or photos to my TV for exemple (that simply sends and plays the music on my TV).
What do you want to do exactly?

I want to be able to throw music to my laptop or desktop while all three devices *Z1 Laptop Desktop* are connected to same wifi network.
Also what is the best cheapest way to connect my phone screen to my non-smart TV? I do not opt from ChromeCast
Hey there, guys.
I'm facing this problem too. For some reason "Throw" stopped working or works when it wants.
Long story short, i have .757 NUT's, Rooted, LB and Xposed installed with not else than Super User Mod.
When i try to use Throw, i can't find my Samsung Smart TV (In the past it was able to); funny thing is that i cant use Throw for watch videos on my PC using XBMC, but XBMC can access to my content vía uPnP and can reproduce the videos, phoos, etc. I use skifta which does "the same" than Throw and it works perfecly, it can find my TV and can reproduce the videos, but i can't understand why my naive APP which use DLNA wont work.
Any fix or workaround?

[Q] Im Confused.. Is there a way to connect M7 to TV directly?

Sorry if this has been covered before but after searching I am now more confused than ever? The goal is to use the app Showbox (which plays movies, but only works on android) and mirror the playback on a TV. Basically mirror the M7 screen while it is playing a movie and watch it on my tv. I bought a chromecast expecting it to work but it does not because I do not have a secondary internet source. Meaning, MY ONLY data connection at my house is my phone as a hotspot and when I run Showbox from my phone, I can not use the phone as a hotspot to satisfy the damn POS chromecast to make it work!
I just need a yes or no answer, is there anyway to play a movie on my M7 and watch it on my TV, it does not matter if it is wireless or directly connected, I just need to know what apps or hardware to get if it is possible
Thank you very much in advance...
cheers,
disco

You need either one of these:
The one posted above. a MediaLink HD.
or an MHL cable. (Far cheaper than above, quality depended on the item)
or a Wi-Fi Modem that you can connect. This branches out to a few more options:
You can now use chromecast with it.
Or you can connect the modem directly to the tv via ethernet (if compatible) or wifi (if compatible) then it is app depended to mirror to screen. Internet connection may be optional depending on how you stream.

Screen mirroring on Samsung TV

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems connecting my Oneplus 3T to a Samsung Smart TV.
I tried using WiFi direct with no luck and also using another Android device as a WiFi hotspot but when I try to cast screen from device setting both the phone and the TV stay stuck on connecting and after several minutes they give up and disconnect.
I also tried using the "Localcast" app and I can view photos, videos and listen to music on the TV but it doesn't have an option to mirror the entire screen.
At a friend's house I tried to mirror to his Chromecast and it worked perfectly.
Phone is full stock, no root, latest OOS 4.1.6
Miracast seems to be quite buggy, Chromecast is a much more stable solution, albeit proprietary and only available on Android-based Samsung TV:s and Chromecast dongles. Unfortunately I have no solution for you other then recommending getting a Chromecast, I do have this same Miracast mirror crash when connecting to my LG Netcast-OS based TV.
