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 impossible to say why the SP3 has issues connecting to a Miracast device

    while other Surface devices can connect just fine. Samsung does not appear to

    have officially Miracast certified their TV's so no one knows if they adhere to

    the standard. In my experience, the Netgear PTV3000 dongle works with everything

    I've thrown at it.

    I'm having a similar issue, I have a new Samsung 46H7000 and I can get Play-to to work but that isn't much use as not many apps support it, when trying to add a new monitor for Project-to the TV and SP3 just time out. Project-To works OK on my Nokia 930.

    I've tried updating the TV, SP3, deleting wifi profiles etc. not sure if we need to wait for an update for windows or the TV.

    >>I just ran a search there, but no TV by Samsung is listed by model number as Miracast compatible. I think that is just a marketing ploy to promote "AllShare" as something proprietary and special. I don't believe there would be any samsung official page that uses the term"Miracast" for that reason, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't work.

    Miracast is a STANDARD and as such, vendors have their products tested to earn

    the certified for... designation. AllShare, as you mention, isn't the same as

    Miracast. Some devices work ok with Samsung "AllShare" devices, some don't.

    Bottom line, if a device isn't Miracast certified, then there is no guarantee

    that it will work. It's the CERTIFICATION that is the key. They can call it

    whatever they want for marketing purposes, but without the official

    certification, it may not work.
