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

    Any updates on this issue?? The MS adapter has reached the retail shelfs in Sweden, should one buy it or wait for software updates? My Tv is a Samsung UHD.

    Microsoft doesn't really pre-announce specific fixes. Next Tuesday is "Patch Tuesday" and I don't know if there will be updates for this issue then, but if not, if it were me, I'd bite the bullet and buy the adapter.

    After reading this thread I tested to mirror the SP3 on my Samsung 8505 TV and it actually worked. Also tested on my WD TV Live and it worked fine as well., however much better I must say.

    Just wanted to add this info to tell people it seems to work on some devices at least.

    BTW - I have real issues connecting my Galaxy S4 to the Samsung TV but not on WD TV, in my opinion the Miracast seems not fully developed yet - far from it
