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

    It's not the missing Miracast certification since it works fine on my Surface Pro 2 which also uses Miracast for Mirroring.

    Facing the same issue in my Samsung TV (bought recently) with my Surface Pro 3. I have last update Firmware 2130 but not working.

    I have the hope that if it was working with previous Samsung updates, Samsung will release a new update soon and we can all connect and live happily ever after! :DDD

    Please let me know if you get the latest update working for it!

    Cheers!

    Don't feel lonely.

    People with new Sony UHD TV's have the same problem.

    Can't mirror to them with my Surface Pro ( original version ).

    Since this problem isn't limited to Sony I believe it is Microsoft's fault.

    None of the " suggestions " from Barb and other folks have helped.

    And I refuse to buy another gadget to make something work that should work out of the box.

    Hi;

    i'm facing the same issue here with a ue50h6400.

    i'm able to connect with a android phone but not with my sp3

    the sp3 sees it but it fails after a while saying connecting on the TV.

    any help is appreciated :)

    Please check and see if the TV is Miracast certified. Samsung does not seem to certify their TV's. Many of them seem to work with some devices but not with everything. I've seen issues with Samsung BD players, which ARE certified, failing to connect in the same way.

    I've passed along reports, but knowing whether your TV is certified for Miracast is important. I could not find a user guide for this TV, you may need to contact Samsung support. Ask them if this TV is Miracast certified. Don't let them start talking about All Share Cast or screen sharing/mirroring. Tell them the WiFi Alliance certified devices and you want to know if the TV is officially certified.
