edit: yes screencast doest works..only chromecast app works

You can add
Code:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1
to your build.prop file, but since the WiFi module in this device is a bit crappy you can have either WiFi connection or WiDi (wireless display) connection active.

OK then wait till its officially available for Moto G 2014 (probably never since it was never released for Moto G 2013) !

Push2TV 3000 w/ .223 firmware on TL = no go

I went to local store this evening pickup a Netgear miracast adapter hoping it would work out of box. Unfortunately, Christmas miracle seems to be over...
I was able to search for the adapter in Wi-Fi Direct mode, but it timeout while connecting to the device. There were some error message in logcat complaining cannot bring down wlan0, so I think there was something wrong either with the driver or TL simply does not support miracast (I hope it's the former case).
Anyway, just wants to give you guys a heads up before you rush to the store like me
Happy holidays.

Got it to work!
PTV3K v2.2.2 FW
I stumble upon this firmware update (which is not in the netgear website...), but after flashing it to my adapter, the miracast began to work!
Cheers~

Ok, now it download fine.
How did you flash this file to your device?
Edit: When you connect to this adaptor/tv/, are you in wireless connection and use search in browser, for example or when you connect to a tv, you can't browsing/use/ WiFi network for other...?

You can't, WiFi Direct (which is used for Miracast) can't be used at the same time with regular WiFi. Just like you can't connect to two different WiFi networks at the same time.
Some Sony people did say they were trying out stuff to maybe make it possible in the future, but we'll have to wait and see for that.
I don't like this. I will wait for this feature to work it. I think that it's possible.

Current wi-fi cards don't allow several connections, it's a hardware restriction. We'll have to wait until next generation cards is released.

Yes, you have to buy an adapter like PTV3000 to mirror the screen on your TV.

This should go in the questions section, but you could use Tasker on both your phone and watch to do it.
Oops, saaaaary
Would I need android 4.3 for that to work

How to use wifi direct on cm11

I recently updated my i8190n to cm11 4.4.2, everythings working fine except for one thing, wifi direct file transfer. i go into the wifi direct setting, and make a connection to another phone(on stock samsung) but there is no option to send files via wifi direct. can anyone please tell me how to share files on cm11 with wifi direct???
no one?!
:crying:
Same here in lost virginity v2 rom i feel you

WiFi direct isn't working on any of our custom Roms, as far as I know. However, a good substitute is Software Data Cable https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.damiapp.softdatacable, it works like WiFi direct. You'll need to install this on both devices, this app can also transfer files between your Android and PC.

i meant, how do you use it, is it by qr code or ip address?
FTP. It works similar to WiFi direct and Bluetooth. 1 device starts a share network using its own WiFi hotspot, the other picks up the hotspot and joins the network. Then you get a browser to share files at good speed.
This does not use your data. If you're worried about it, you can turn off your mobile network and try it.

You can cast everything I've been playing asphalt 8 on my 60 in no leg and sound
