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.

    Don't buy! It's their job to fix it, in SP3 despcrition it's writted miracastable so they have to fix it!

    Today my Surface suddenly asked for WPS pin when I tried to connect to my Samsung TV. Jesus, what is this? Is this a fault or can I actually obtain this pin somewhere?

    I noticed that I cannot miracast my SP3 to the TV or the WD TV live if I am connected on my 5 GHz network.  If I change to 2.4 GHz it works with my WD but huge issues with Samsung TV.

    No clue what this means, just an observation.
