Surface Pro 3 does not connect to recent Samsung Series 7 TV

Hi,

my Surface Pro 1 does connect well with my Samsung Smart TV series 7. However, my new Samsung Pro 3 wont connect. It finds the TV and then tries to establish connection and asks to wait - maybe the TV should not popup a PIN code - but that never happens and the connection times out. Interestingly the Surface Pro 3 gets listed in the Samsung network device settings and is set to "allowed" for connection but the Surface Pro 3 still wont connect. Note i have deployed all latest updates on Samsung TV as well as Surface Pro 3.

I would appreciate to get this working again.

Thx,

Bernd

    Can ALL of you that are unable to connect with a Samsung/Sharp/Sony TV that supports Miracast please reply with the exact model number and if possible a link to the TV on the vendor's website? This is what engineering needs.

    Hi All,

    A firmware update for the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter was released last week that might resolve many of the connection issues presented here.  For tips on installing the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter app see here.  The app is needed to install the adapter firmware update.

    Note, you will need locate a substitute display as a connection to an external display is needed to successfully complete the adapter update.

    Thanks,

    SP4 is about to debut in no time, and the miracast on SP3 is still not fixed...I am now officially giving up any hope that MS will fix the miracast on SP3 and Surface 3...

    SP3 sees it, stalls at connecting.  TV shows WPS pin to input. both timeout after a couple minutes.

    I was originally able to connect from the miniDP on the SP3 with an adapter (miniDP to HDMI), but the 5/19 firmware update broke that too.

    This is now an unfortunately expensive paperweight for me.
