Any difference on 5.0.1 ? still debating whether to buy a miracast dongle.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan4a:
Not sure as the update isn't available for my device. Plus if it was, I would avoid it so I wouldn't need to re-root to disable encryption and wipe all my data again. Doesn't look like 5.0.1 is a significant update for the N6 anyway. Like I said, the miracast is working perfectly with that added line in the build.prop, But if I could get Netflix working! I've tried all the settings under development options as well. :mad:

I am rooted and unlocked with a custom recovery (I think). Let me know if any of your options above work. I can't believe I'm actually considering trying to return my N6 for a Note 4. Just not sure if a 5.0 upgrade would disable on that device as well. Unbelievable that Google disabled miracast in an obvious attempt to force chromecast. Like I said, I got it to work using the modified build.prop, but Netflix won't work! :crying:

I've tried multiple multiple multiple times to get my nexus 6 to miracast, but my dongle never shows up in the cast screen. I've added that line to the build.prop, i've moved it around, with multiple restarts and still nothing. am i doing something wrong?

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

Ok... I think I solved my own issue... I can finally see the dongle when I turn wifi on.... Is there a way to cast without wifi being turned on... like specifically when I'm in my car and there is no wifi signal around?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenosis:
I tested Nexus 5 running 5.0.1 with the same approach, cast screen (mirror) to chromecast connected to hotspot and it worked fine with Netflix.

FYI, you don't have to re-lock your phone and re-rooting is just as easy as installing a new factory image at least using chainfire autoroot. Not sure if Nexus 6 has that though. But ya there is some effort involved. What I would recommend is getting flashify, making a backup of the stock recovery so you can switch back to it for OTA updates. You can pretty much accomplish everything from within the android OS. You keep the bootloader locked, you don't have to resort to command prompt utilities like fastboot or adb and the encryption of the SD card should pass through as intended.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan4a:
Thanks. Ideally I'm looking to avoid chromecast (and hotspot) and use strictly miracast, which i can do perferctly now (except for pesky Netflix).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenosis:
I hear ya. Not looking like it will happen anytime soon. I think miracast might be dying off/chromecast may hopefully absorb it's functionality.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan4a:
You don't need to be connected to a WiFi network. You only need to have WiFi turnef on so you create the adhoc connection.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

Then it looks like I'll be returning the N6 for a Note 4. This is completely unacceptable as I pay for unlimitted data on my phone, therefore do not want to pay for internet in my home. I just want to miracast Netflix. There has to be a way around it as every other modern device can do it!

There is a really easy way for enabling Miracast in N6.

The device has to be rooted.

Just edit /system/build.prop with any editor and add the following line:

persist.debug.wfd.enable=1

Save it and perform a reboot.

Now you can use Miracast.

The issue of not displaying correctly at MS Wireless Display Adapter, happens to me with my nvidia Shield too. N6 with modified build.prop works fine, despite I could not test hulu or Netflix.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoffreaper:
I tested this with a Microsoft Wireless Adapter after enable miracast in my Nexus 6 build prop. It correctly identified the Microsoft Adapter without a problem. Have you changed the wireless display adapters default name?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MunkinDrunky:
Yus so nice. Using PTV3000 after build prop edit. Sucks to hear about Netflix woes. Everything I've tired is great. There was occasional lag on my note 10.1 2014 but not on the nexus 6:D. Xbmc here I come...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livinginkaos:
OK, I've gotten sick of having to update the build.prop every stinking time when flashing these ever increasing stock builds. So, I added the following code to the end of my modified flash-all.bat so it will automatically add the persist function to the build.prop.

Now,

if you don't know how this works

, then,

don't do it

. I will not be offering support on this. I just thought I would share my automation for those who know what they are doing. Backups are your friend, use them.

There may be an easier way to perform this, this is just how I went about it.

This pulls the build.prop, modifies it, pushes it to the sdcard, then moves it to system, then fixes the permissions and ownership. By default, it will leave a backup copy of the modified build.prop on your computer. This assumes you have root.

adb pull /system/build.prop
echo persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 >> build.prop
adb push build.prop /sdcard/
adb shell "su -c" mount -o remount,rw /system
adb shell "su -c" mv /sdcard/build.prop /system/
adb shell "su -c" chmod 644 /system/build.prop
adb shell "su -c" chown root:root /system/build.prop
adb reboot

Thanks for this thread! I haven't done the build prop edit or rooted my phone but plan to do it when I get the time. Unbelievable Motorola/google can't just add the line themselves and be nice to us miracast users, I would even be fine if they added adhoc capabilities to chromecast , I don't want to connect to a bloody network! Like I didn't have to with my GS5. Anyway I just got my Nexus 6 over the weekend and so far really like it .... Sucks though I have to mess with it and root it for this one thing. Oh yeah.. does Netflix work with the Microsoft wireless display adapter now? Couldn't tell in the postings if it was only with the ptv3000.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
You don't need to modify /system/build.prop

You only need to add that property as persistent and you can do that in /data/property with setprop.

C:\>adb shell
shell@flounder:/ $ su
root@flounder:/ # setprop persist.debug.wfd.enable 1
root@flounder:/ # reboot

On the Nexus 9, after you reboot you need to click the enable Wifi Direct box on the Screen Mirroring setup.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knives of ice:
once you have edited your buildprop how do you know that it has worked? i can't see anything different in my settings to show me that there is now a wireless display option. or will it appear under cast screen still (though i thought that was intended for chromecast)

where exactly are the screen mirroring settings located on a nexus 6?

i have modified the build prop. i now do have the option to send a youtube video to my roku when using the youtube app.

what i am concerned with is being able to mirror my phone's screen - i assume this is hopefully where my miracast will appear when i get it tomorrow under the cast screen icon in the pulldown or settings menu? i'm also assuming you can't cast your screen to a roku
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
I don't have a 6 or 9 directly with me at the moment.

On the Nexus 9, "Screencast" is on the pull-down roller shade, along with WiFi, Bluetooth etc.

There is also a line for that in Settings > Display.

You just need to click the "three dots" in the upper right corner.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Just to clarify.

Roku "Beta Screen Mirroring" is available on the Roku Stick, Roku 2 and Roku 3.

It is not available on the Roku 1

https://www.roku.com/products/compare

"Miracast" uses "WiFi Direct".

Some devices do not support this.

Some devices (like the Nexus 6 & Nexus 9) require special enabling.

WiFi Direct (and Miracast by extension) does not require a WiFi network.

You do need to have some sort of WiFi network to register your Roku device once.

Afterwards, you can take your Roku to the dessert and use it for screencasting.

You simply have to hit "OK", when it complains that the previous WiFi network is unreachable.

In contrast, Chromecast requires a WiFi network to do anything.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] is.phi:
No Rotation after build.prop edit

Added line to build.prop

persist.debug.wfd.enable=1

and was able to cast video from VLC player on my phone to Roku 3. But phone's screen was mirrored in portrait orientation and wouldn't rotate. Also, phone was permanently locked in portrait, even when not casting to Roku and when "enable wireless display" unchecked in settings/display/cast.

Searching around, I found another buld.prop addition:

persist.demo.hdmirotationlock=false

Once this line is added, video cast to Roku would play landscape full screen(ie correctly, as desired). Autorotate, though, still doesn't work at all on the phone.

Any thoughts?

Running Marshmallow 6.0 MRA58R on Nexus 6. Autorotate works until I add "persist.debug.wfd.enable=1” and will work again as soon as I remove that line from build.prop.

And, yes, the auto-rotate toggle is on. :)

Yes! This is driving me crazy. I just bought this cute little pico projector, and I can cast my n6's screen to it quite well... all but Netflix. With Netflix the audio (and even subtitles) show up, but the video doesn't. I found this thread on the google chromecast support pages, and it appears it's a problem specific to the nexus 6 and netflix: google blames netflix, and netflix blames google. The thread has been locked, so you can't even add comments. I generally like my nexus 6 quite well, but it has these funny bugs, and google doesn't seem at all interested in fixing them.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmguy:
I just bought an brand new unlocked GSM LTE Moto G (first gen) today. My thought at start was strictly for WiFi and FM Radio. But I stumbled on the Qualcomm SW mod using QPST and a few other apps for the regular Moto G HSPA+ version. So my question is does the LTE version have the CDMA radio present? I know the mod can't create a radio or connection to a network if the HW isn't there. I figure if it's based off the original Moto G (like the XT1028) it might have the hardware but be sw blocked. I checked the radio data and it's 2 different radios in both. But just wondering......If the Nexus 5 could do it with out "offical" CDMA bands maybe this Moto G LTE can too. I have Verizon Wireless and would like to use my Micro SIM card in this phone.

Ideas?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctor_evil:
I'm interested in a similar thing for a U.S. Cellular Moto G LTE XT-1042 to see if I can enable the GSM radio bands on it. I know the Sprint Moto X has GSM capability which is partially used for the LTE coverage along with their mini-sim and since the US Cellular Moto G LTE XT-1042 also uses a mini-sim for the LTE coverage it stands to reason that it could work too using the Qualcomm SW mod.

I actually bought one off of Ebay with a Bad ESN that can't be activated on the US Cellular wireless network just to tinker around with. If it works I'll try to do a forum post pulling together all of the forum posts with information that I used to get it to work. If it doesn't work I got it for $48 dollars and can use it as a mini wifi only tablet for streaming music, playing games,etc.
