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

    Folks,

    There are a number of you reporting issues specifically with Samsung TV's. Have any of you tried Miracast with a different Miracast display receiver (TV)?

    There's a great software receiver for Windows computers called AirServer - used to be just AirPlay for the Mac, but they've added Miracast recently. If you have a desktop or large screen laptop, you might want to look at this software (there's a 7 day trial) to see if you can connect. It's available at airserver.com. It's actually pretty neat software, too... But I'd be really interested if any of you who are failing with your Samsung TV's can connect to a computer running this Miracast software. (It's Windows certified, too).

    The WPS number shouldn't be required. My Galaxy Note connects fine, it's just the SP3 that's having issues even though my TV is updated to version 2123 as of yesterday's update and the SP3 has all updates as well.

    If you swipe in from right and click "Device" then "Project" then "Add a wireless device" you should see..."Searching for devices..." at which point the [Samsung TV] should appear in the list. It's at that point after clicking the name that the SP3 tries to connect to the TV (provided the TV is in Mirror Screen mode) but eventually times out. My Android tablet connects almost immediately as AllShare works just fine.

    Now, if you click "Add a device" while on the Add Devices page then the TV may also show up in a list (maybe even twice) and asks for a WPS pin. I believe this is similar to trying to connect a device to your router via the WPS feature, but that's not what we are trying to do as you know. The WPS pin is something you would get from the router for easy setup.

    So,there's some sort of disconnect between both devices - specifically the TV when trying to connect directly, as Microsoft's $60!!! wireless display adapter (Miracast) works just fine.
