No I have not rooted the phone or installed any other roms. It worked out of the box with the ptv3000 stock firmware and phone in stock firmware. Subsequently I have updated the software on both the phone and ptv and they both work fine. I just use the screen mirroring toggle and it mirrors. Works great for full HD streaming movies at 1080p without stuttering if you position the ptv well. No problems streaming an entire movie from internet to ptv through my s4. Works great with Netflix and other stuff.250 millisecond lag but no stuttering.

Hey guys,

I have the Netgear PTV-3000 and I put Android 4.2.2 Stock (AOSP) on my Tmobile S4.

I tried wireless display and the Netgear shows up, but when I attempt to connect the S4 freezes and I get a "Share connect " problem and the phone restarts.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
Is your phone rooted? I don't know if rooting causes problems and hdcp errors. The first time one connects the two devices it asks for hdcp code for pairing the two devices. You just enter the code shown on the tv screen on the s4. If you didn't get to that screen then probably the rooting process or other roms is causing issues. If so then try if the triangle away prices using the app by chain fire I think. See if that helps. Like I said it works fine with my s4 and another s3. Will try a Note 2 next weekend if time permits. S3 and s4 worked out of the box with Netgear ptv3000 for me.

update ptv3000 software as explained on Netgear USA website for ptv3000.

works fine with my widi enabled Dell laptop too for mirroring laptop screen to tv
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] rubi76:
No my phone is not rooted but I used a different phone (Note 2) with the PTV 3000 before. Note 2 worked perfect.

Maybe I should reset the PTV as it did not ask me for the hdcp code like you said....

What app by chain fire are you referrin to?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
Forget the app. You don't need it as you are not rooted. I didn't need to reset the ptv when I had it paired with the S4 and then tried the s3. It just asked Mr for the hdcp code again like it did ask the first time I used it with the s4.

I know it's obvious but have you switched on mirroring on the S4 ?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] rubi76:
Well- Eventually I will root so if you can let me know the App.

Yes I did switch on mirroring - and it did search for devices to connect.

It found the ptv3000, I clicked on it... the tv screen said 'connecting'.. then on the phone I got a notice that the "Share Service" has stopped (or something to that extent....) and the whole phone froze.

I will try to reset the adapter (or update it) and do it all over again...

If you have better ideas let me know.. thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lolento:
I don't think screen mirroring work on custom rom or even stock rom with custom recovery (I haven't verified this last part).

I had tried Omega rom and the Infamous S4 rom on my M919 and the screen mirror function kicks out shortly after connecting to PTV3000 (but before an actual mirror display is shown). Logcat throws a bunch of DRM related errors.

Reverting to Stock rom, Stock Kernal and even using CF-Auto-Root and then Triangle Away, made it work.

Again, I don't know about the custom recovery part (but somebody correct me here)...I would love to be able to create nandroids...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
I did mention the app in my first reply to you :) it's called triangle away by chain fire developer I think. The other poster had mentioned it worked for him in above post when he changed roms. Try rebooting phone too. If phone had apps like sky plus etc our any other app that does not allow Miracast then it won't work. So just keep it on home screen when setting up Miracast screen sharing
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] rubi76:
I installed Netgear's latest firmware 2.2.16, and tried to connect.

Unfortunately, same problem "Unfortunately Shareshotservice has stopped working"... and the phone freezes...

Anyone knows what to do with this shareshotservice?

My s4 is not rooted but I put a custom recovery and updated the software to Google Experience AOSP 4.2.2. stock...

Guess it doesn't work with custom recoveries... or I am in bad luck... strange because for a second it connects and wireless display IS available.... bummer!

Mira cast works on custom ROMs including cm and AOKP. I was running them on the rocket fish adapter. I returned it for the ptv3000 and have not been able to get a connection to happen. It always says "WiFi connection closed" after trying to connect. I'm in AOKP and Mira cast does work with the rocket fish adapter. Any help with this ptv3000 would be great.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nuscape:
Is miracast using microUSB plug for the power or miniUSB, from the website picture looks like MiniUSB. Hmm need another power cable / charger then.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jochenthomas:
O.k. thanks for your answers.

I am on a Omega ROM and

a) it connects to the PTV300

b) BUT I do not get the HDCP - Code request

c) nor a mirror function

Means the ROM is cooked in a wrong way :-?

Thanks for this important information...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lolento:
Ok, if that is the case, then I should correct my statement to Miracast does not work on custom TW roms. For sure, Miracast does not work on Omega and Infamous S4. I would love to have miracast working on custom TW roms but it doesn't.

Go back to stock TW rom and use CF-Auto-Root and Triangle Away, this will make it work for sure. Or like the poster above says, try CM or AOKP if you need to run custom rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Legacystar:
The reason it doesn't work on custom tw ROMs is simple, in the process of debloating the ROM they remove "Musicliveshare.apk". This file is used for the group play music share but seems to be required for miracast. I know this because I ran cleanrom and couldn't get hdcp to work until I replaced that file and viola! It worked.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lolento:
Hope you are right!

Can somebody confirm? I went thru the trouble of going back to Stock but I don't want to install a custom rom and then find out that it doesn't work...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lolento:
I just checked the omega rom that i used and it has the Musicliveshare.apk. So this is not the reason miracast doesnt work.

Can you link to the cleanrom u refer to?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Legacystar:
Well it fixed the hdcp issue, don't know about connection issues
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lolento:
So can u mirror ur screen?

Can u link the cleanrom u are using?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Legacystar:
Yea I was able to mirror with the rocketfish adapter. I've since returned the rocketfish adapter in favor of the ptv3000 (mistake) which I cannot get to work at all. I'll be repurchasing the rocketfish adapter.

You will have to ad the musicliveshare.apk to get the hdcp to work (at least that's what I did)

Having issues on cm10 it keeps saying hdcp failed on my ptv3000 on my s4
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] seanvree:
if you are rooted with a custom ROM, good luck. I know that most problems are related to custom Kernels.

I've been using Wicked on my S4, and have not been able to get it to work on the PVT3000, or the AllShare Cast dongle. I was unable to get it to work on my previous S3 as well.

Hey all,

I've just picked up a Netgear PTV3000 and have a Nexus 10 and Galaxy S3 to miracast to it (both stock non-rooted latest android). Running latest firmware on the Netgear (2.4.3) and I'm stuck in 720p from both devices. There's no options from the Android devices as to what signal is being pushed out it doesn't seem. When the netgear is waiting for connection it's outputting 1080p and looks clear and sharp. Then once the devices connect it's quite a badly resized 720p coming through which makes me think it's more an issue from the android side as to what it's pushing... :(

Anyone else still getting these 720p problems bubblesmoney said people had referenced earlier? All my devices have a clear line of sight, (1-2 metres away). The S3 is much better than the Nexus 10, (S3 is smooth, Nexus 10 quite choppy) but both devices output the same lacklustre 720p image.

Personally I think it's going to be a while till it works properly as it's still early days. Interested to see if any others have this issue though?

Cheers - if miracast were a sharp 1080p image, it'd be damned cool...

not working PTV3000, RF-WFD301 & EAD-T10 with GT-I9505G Android 4.3

I have tried both Netgear Push2TV w/ FW v. 2.4.3 and Rocketfish Miracast Video Reciever w/ FW v. 2.0 with my Galaxy S4 Google Play Ed. with Android 4.3 (stock, unrooted) and none of them works... I am on my way to returning them and will try to pick up a Samsung AllShare Cast Hub and see if that one works. I don't know what to blame... is the adapters or its my Google Play Ed. S4? who knows , I am just damn pissed right now. I don't know what Google meant when they posted this in their support page:

"The Samsung Galaxy S 4 Google Play edition is compatible with devices that support the Wi-Fi Certified Miracast™ protocol for wireless display. You can mirror the screen and wirelessly stream video and audio to a variety of displays and other devices that support Miracast, even when a standard Wi-Fi network isn't available. For example, you can use wireless display to show your device's screen on a TV equipped with a certified Miracast adapter. For more information, see the documentation that comes with the Miracast-certified device you wish to connect to your phone"

Seems BS to me

Update: Samsung AllShare Cast Hub w/ FW v. LJ02 Didn't work either. why am I not surprised?

So, as of now, there is no adapter in US retail market that'll work with unrooted Galaxy S4 Google Play Ed. Android 4.3 Miracast.

Hey, so im running pacman rom rc1 with kt kernel. Wireless display is working, but all audio is being output from my S4 and not on the TV. Anyone have any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mista.maja:
received my ptv3000 today, updated its firmware to 2.4.3 and can confirm 720p only streaming from a N10 running a rasbeanjelly 4.3 build. a/v sync is off and video delay on the tv screen is very noticeable. connection is mostly choppy and overall image quality is... disappointing, tbh. but i'm confident future firmware updates will bring improvements in performance and stability ( simply 'cause they'll have to ;) )
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
my netgear PTV3000 works fine for full 1080p miracast to my TV from my S4, and also tried and works fine with S3, sony xperia ZL as can be seen from my youtube uploads linked in my tag line. see my miracast is better than chromecast upload where i show gaming, video streaming, xbmc etc. XBMC and netflix works great, xbmc in 1080p streaming and via miracast to TV is flawless for video streaming. 1080p videos stream fine from various websites including bbc. I havent tried the 3d option yet via xbmc. I dont know why you guys seem to be having problems.

Miracast works great in full 1080p on my LG bluray player with miracast. see demo on my youtube uploads linked below in my tagline.

YOU MUST be doing something wrong. Have a look at my videos on my youtube channel, I have several miracast and WiDi wireless streaming videos on my uploads for the netgear and also other devices. ALL ARE WORKING FINE FOR FULL HD STREAMING AND AUDIO IS OK TOO. see my miracast is better than chromecast video for all teh stuff that you can do on the s4 via miracast. IF my s4 can do it then so should yours unless you havent linked it properly. See what you are doing wrong by watching my miracast videos and widi videos on youtube.

No audio synching issues and 1080p works fine. DO NOT KEEP IT BEHIND TV, use hdmi cable and bring it to the side of TV or top and keep line of sight with no obstructions in between. have you changed the settings on the netgear, power it directly from adapter and not from TV.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zinv:
So ive attempted CM 10.2, PacMan ROM, Slimbean and Even Stock Rooted with my PTV3000. Stock Rooted would not connect at all. CM10.2, Pacman, and slimbean all connect and display video great. The only issue is that audio does not route to my HDTV. Audio continues to play through phone speakers. In a logcat the only errors I see are regarding libstagefright, but that should play no importance as from what ive read that has to do with the actual handshake, which is succeeding as video is being displayed. If anyone has any ideas of anything I could try it would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
Have you tried stock rooted and triangle away app, from what I have gathered it has worked before fir some. I haven't rooted so haven't had to do anything like that.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lolento:
U need to be stock rooted and stock kernel. R u sure u tried that?

I am on stock rooted and stock kernel, miracast is working perfect, audio routed to TV.

I love to whether ppl can get miracast to work on custom rom and custom kernel, I have tried many and none had worked. Dev really need to look into this.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zinv:
Thanks for the information. I have tried stock rooted, but Im not sure if it was stock kernel. Though I had read that to get it to work that way I would need to stock recovery as well. Is that necessary or should I just be trying stock rooted, stock kernel, triangle away?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lolento:
No need for stock recovery as currently im on cwm
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] shmty25:
The problem seems to be with Samsung devices limiting the number of HDCP hops. I'm curious, for those that have Samsung devices working properly, are they connected directly to the television or through and AV receiver? And those who keep getting the HDCP error, are you connected directly to the TV or through a receiver. I have an S3, a Note 8.0 and a Surface Pro 2. All connect just fine when the PTV3000 is connected directly to the television but only the Surface Pro 2 connects when the PTV3000 is connected through an AV receiver The Samsung devices all give the HDCP error and then disconnect without mirroring when connected through the AV receiver.

And rooting does not seem to be the determining factor. My S3 is stock rooted 4.1.2 (I did use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter to zero) and my Note 8 tablets are stock 4.2.2. All three exibit the same behavior. They work when connected to the TV directly, but give me the HDCP error and disconnect when connected through any of my AV receivers.

For those that are more tech savvy than I am, is there a way to edit the code in the Samsung devices so as to allow for more than one HDCP hop so that you can connect through an AV receiver? It seems to me that if you are going through the trouble of getting 1080p on your TV through the PTV3000, then you'd rather have 5.1 surround through your receiver rather than the crappy TV speakers.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jeugreg:
Like me... I have two unrooted Samsung devices :

- Note 3 (SM-N9005 Android 4.3)

- Note 10.1 (GT-N8010 with Android 4.1.2)

I have connected my PTV3000 in front HDMI input of my AV receiver ONKYO

I have updated PTV3000 firmware to 2.4.26.

I have tried during 2 hours to connect my devices....

And, an idea came, direct connect to TV ? why not ?

So PTV3000 connected to directly in HDMI TV input is working.

But, why this stupid limitation ?

It s really a Samsung problem ?

I will try with a Nexus 5 soon.

Meanwhile, PTV3000 can be directly connected to TV and we can add a stereo audio cable between TV and receiver : TV output in the AV receiver input.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mista.maja:
Nexus 5 connects just fine even with the PTV3000 attached to my Pioneer A/V-Receiver. Still limited to 720p though. As it is with all Android devices I've tried.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] horhokokki:
Is there any easy way to have some toggle to connect miracast? I just done some little script with tasker and input tapping and so on, but that's not so elegant way to do it, something easier and better .. some shell command would be best.. like something like am start miracast or something.. could not find the solution yet..

Any help?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mista.maja:
to clarify: has anyone managed to get one of the recent nexus devices to work in 1080p using a PTV3000?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] unwilling:
I have a Nexus 5 and i am in the same boat. 720p only. It connects to the tv and displays 1080p on the "waiting to connect" screen but as soon as it gets my device it cuts it down to 720p and it is very noticeable. This is the second ptv3000 i've had as the first one broke from use in less than a day. Does anyone know if the digital audio it claims to have works as well? I've never gotten dolby digital from this device. It only gives me stereo.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mista.maja:
yeah multichannel audio doesn't seem to be working for me either. but that maybe an android problem. my guess is support for passthrough audio via miracast has yet to be implemented in android apps like MX Player.

I'm in contact with Netgear and they keep sending me beta F/W's but so far no improvements regarding the resolution issues.

[Q] Miracast/Netgear PTV 3000/XBMC

Does anyone know yet if your able to cast XBMC from the Galaxy S4 using Miracast an a Netgear PTV 3000? Would love to know yes or no before buying anything.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
Yes works great for 1080p streaming. Have mentioned that in a few of my miracast and xbmc videos.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Crazy Old Man:
I finally found reference to exactly what I have been experiencing. I am using a Nexus 7 2013 version 4.4.2 and a PTV3000. The PTV3000 works well except I can't get 1080p. I have contacted tech support for the PTV3000 and Google support trying to pin down which unit is causing the problem. Support from either one is painstakingly slow. Google instantly blamed the Netgear but Netgear suggested I reset the unit going through a procedure they sent me. It didn't work and now I am waiting to hear back from them. At least they didn't blame the Nexus 7.

I have ordered a slimport to HDMI connector so I can plug directly into the TV just to make sure I can see 1080p.

I'm hoping somebody has a solution to this problem or at least can shed some light on it.

Thanks so much!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mista.maja:
I believe there is a reason that the Nexus4 is the only Nexus device on Netgears supported devices list, and that reason is that it's native resolution coincidentally is 720p which is, as it seems, the most the PTV3000 can get out of any Nexus. And even that 720p connection is a flakey one.

As I said before Netgear sent me a few beta firmwares which brought no improvements resolution-wise and when I started to specifically ask how to get the resolution up to 1080p, the replies stopped.

I don't have any Galaxy devices except the Nexus10 which is Samsung-made but does not have their AllShare Cast software components so I can't confirm the claims made about the S4 being able to stream 1080p in a stable fashion but no Nexus device I've tried has been able to output more than 720p at any point (Nexus 4, 5 & 10) and I've lost confidence in Netgear to remedy this.

btw, even just listening to Spotify while streaming to PTV3000 is not a smooth experience... it's sad, really.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Crazy Old Man:
That's what I was afraid of. However, even at 720p the picture is good enough for me. I don't require perfection but I do want it to do all it can do. I have watched several movies with no problems except for my slow DSL connection and late at night that's not a problem. I have a slimport to HDMI coming so maybe that will allow me to download a Blue Ray movie and watch it.

I'll keep the pressure on Netgear and maybe we'll see a firmware upgrade soon.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Crazy Old Man:
I finally got down to the bottom of it. Netgear admitted that the Nexus 7 2013 is not a supported tablet at this time. I don't know why they couldn't have told that right off the bat. It works very well at 720p and if I need the full 1080p I will simply hook up my Slimport adaptor which works quite well.

Sound issue on PTV3000 and Galaxy S4

Firstly Hi, this is my first post and am completely new to the world of mirroring.

I've recently purchased a Netgear PTV3000 to stream media from my SMB harddrive (via wifi) in XBMC and then mirror it back to my TV through the PTV3000.

I've updated the PTV3000 to the latest firmware and the unit syncs and plays with the image smoothly with no freezing. However I am experiencing a delay between the picture and the sound of around 1/2 second which is irritating and basically making it unwatchable unless it sports for example.

Anybody got any advice on how best to eliminate this issue. I am tweaking the audio delay to picture in XBMC (around 0.33secs) which does help but its fiddly and not perfect. This however will not resolve the issues of streaming directly from the Net, for example my Netflix account.

Am I going about this the right way to counteract this, or is there a better method.

To confirm, I am streaming media from my SMB drive (Iomega screenplay pro HD) through my router to my Samsung galaxy S4. This then mirrors back to the PTV3000, and I am receiving a delay in sound vs image on media through XBMC and direct (bbc iplayer as an example)

Thanks for any advice.

Bernie
