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
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Didn't make a difference. Tried lowering res - still can't get the SP3 to mirror directly to the Samsung. Works just fine to the Microsoft adapter.
Steve,
If you are connecting directly to the Samsung TV using Miracast, the fix for the MWDA isn't going to help <G> That fix is for people using the MWDA who could not make a stable connection.
Hi All,
A firmware update for the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter was released last week that might resolve many of the connection issues presented here. For tips on installing the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter app see here. The app is needed to install the adapter firmware update.
Note, you will need locate a substitute display as a connection to an external display is needed to successfully complete the adapter update.
Thanks,

Can ALL of you that are unable to connect with a Samsung/Sharp/Sony TV that supports Miracast please reply with the exact model number and if possible a link to the TV on the vendor's website? This is what engineering needs.

SP4 is about to debut in no time, and the miracast on SP3 is still not fixed...I am now officially giving up any hope that MS will fix the miracast on SP3 and Surface 3...
