I can watch Netflix on my note 3 as the signal on phone is h+ or 3g but as soon as i try miracast on my new 4k tv from my note 3 the signal drops to E and my note 3 turns off. Can anyone help ?. I tried ringing Vodaphone and they said the signal is strong where i live .
What do you mean "my note 3 turns off"?
The problem is the connection type, not signal strength. Maybe 3G network is overcrowded at that time. Can you actually watch Netflix on the phone for a few mins if your don't mirror the screen?
Thanks. The issue has gone away because Netflix is now legitimately available in my country.
I am trying to connect to a china projector via miracast. When I turn on screen mirroring, it gets connected, then a black screen comes and displays error " unable to enable screen mirroring, hdcp is not supported by the device connected.
Please help tried all possible ways.
I have wifi settings on my dlp projector ( sidar dlp projector, china) In wifi settings ssid = my router name, security = wpa2, PSK = my wifi password. Hope this is correct. Then I go to my note 8.0 and turn on screen mirroring.
Hope above steps are correct.
Please help. I have some presentations to be done using this new dlp projector I got to carry with me always.
Hope I get some good solution, a permanent solution.
The projector very likely doesn't support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). However, Samsung devices require this for screen mirroring.
So, you probably have to try other devices.
Why does my POS NOTE 3 not connect to my Panasonic 3D smart 4k? Both are connected to the same network.
Does the TV support Miracast? Screen mirroring requires Miracast.
BTW, screen mirroring does not require any internet connection.
Make sure you have your TV on the right HDMI channel that the dongle is plugged in then try again.
Hello,
I'm stuck at "An update has been downloaded in your allshare cast dongle. Restart allshare cast dongle to install it." I've restarted my phone and switch on and off the dongle, but everytime I try connect to the dongle, that shows up.
Thank you.
Hello,
If got some problems with HDCP. It can connect, but then it will shows a error that the HDCP is not supporting with the current device..
it seems your TV does not support HDCP. Did you try other TV or some adapters?
They are all updated. But I fixed it I just had my TV on the wrong hdmi channel
Thank you for the update. Enjoy.
Everytime I try to connect to my Samsung dongle, it keeps telling me I need to restart screen mirroring to update
Which Samsung dongle? AllShare cast? You may try to update your phone and your Samsung apps on the phone.
Thanks again. much appreciated.
Thanks.Would that go ....gateway to another router by ether net, then use the wireless off the second router?
You can just connect the second router to the lan port of the existing router. Your mobile phone then choose the second wireless network. In the second router, you need specify uplink type as vpn with your vpn account. Any device connected to the second router will be effectively connected to the vpn.
Most consumer routers do NOT have this option. So, you may have to flash the firmware.
Also, some vpn account type may not work with the router. Check the firmware and your vpn account type. I use dd-wrt.
Anyway, it's not a trivial job. Some vpn providers may have other solutions.
I use an Allshare cast adapter to mirror my SM P905 to a dumb bigscreen. I would like to stream Netflix over the same link but have to use a VPN to get Netflix in my country. Is there a way?
Have you tried setting up a tunnel from your router?
The vpn implementation on android prevents the miracast connection some Jellybean 4.3.
You can try to set up another router at home. Make it connect to the vpn directly. You may need flash the firmware to dd-wrt. And it also depends on your vpn type.
