LG G3 Miracast failing

[trinode]

I had an S4 and a 2013 LG TV which could receive the Miracast from the Samsung S4 just fine.

I've upgraded to a G3 and it's seems to be in compatible with the LG (that's right LG) TV.

It connects, then just disconnects, no errors either side like this:-

I've even gone as far as to factory reset the TV, just in case (It's had a few updates since purchase).

Am I missing something (Is there a known work-around or something) or was LGs flagship phone not tested with their own Smart TVs?

Any ideas / help appreciated.

Same here I cannot use miracast or wifi direct with my new sony tv; DLNA works though

Official bug???? How can we fix it?

 

[radeonxt]

thank God someone finally posted the same thing as i thought i was the only one experiencing this.
g3's miracast won't connect to my Toshiba tv.
it just shows wifi direct connected, then nothing happens.
went to the mall to try on other tv brands samsung,sony and even LG but miracast won't connect.
so i gave up and just told myself maybe it's because the phone is still new.

was using version 10A.
now i'm on 10B and still doesn't connect.

Looks like LG need to fix this but still haven't addressed this with the latest 10b release

Maybe lg is not even aware of this issue? How do we submit this bug?

I have noticed this with my previous LG G2 as well. Somehow lg tv keeps loosing stability of the miracast or dlna server.

might be something related :

hidden menu > MirrorLink Test and it will Force Close.

So is there anything we can do about this? Does this problem exist in all version of g3?

Miracast works perfectly over here. Miracast on, recognizes Panasonic VT60, off we go.

I gave up and bought a Chromecast never worked for me

Verizon G3 works fine for miracast on my 2013 F8500 Samsung. Try not connecting WiFi to your router or connect WiFi on 5ghz band. You will achieve better stability in the signal. Also don't have your tv connected via WiFi. Miracast may conflict,with your current WiFi connection or interfere when on the 2.4the band, just my experience as I also use widi on pcs. The WiFi chipset varies from phone to phone, LG may use one chipset that has more issues than Samsung

Hey guys, I just found a solution for it.
First, I read the NFC tag that came with my LG TV to connect it. It asked for Tag On app installation and after that, for the LG TV remot app. Bam! Miracast is finally working on my LG TV. Probably any library was missing and now is all good! :laugh:
Please try it and let me know.

Same problem here with a LG Nexus 5, Android 4.4.4.

It plays with an Asus Zenfone 4, though without sound, not sure if I'm missing some essential bits.

Try what? What does this have to do with what TV you use? What "Tag On app installation"?

In my last post, I described a procedure that worked (temporarily) to connect to a LG TV, but never mind... it's not working anymore. Back to the point zero!

Did Miracast come with your 2013 8500 Samsung, or did you have to get the Samsung Evolution Kit to support it?

I turned on the hotspot kinda thing on the tv...connected my lgg3 to that WiFi. (Tv is still on home WiFi) and it works just fine.
