And the miracast doesn’t seem bothered by it when using the Kyocera.
Android miracast tv#
But I think if TV usb power is enough for the chromecast, it should be enough for the miracast. There is no extra outlet close by where the TV is in my Mom's apartment. I did note some people have problem with usb power supply from TV not providing enough juice. Updated the MWDA to the latest software, no change. phone 1 casting device 2, tv1 (S4, Chromecast, Insignia)įor the problem combination (1,1,1) = (Samsung, MWDA, Insignia).phone 2, casting device 1, tv1 (Kyocera, MWDA, Insignia).But perhaps results would have been different if I had tested longer.įor the remaining two combinations that are "close" to that nonworking 1,1,1 combination, I had plenty of opportunity to use them for hours including connect/disconnect/reconnect with no problem: I did try connect / disconnect / reconnect. I should clarify that when I tried the similar combination of phone 1 with casting device 1 with TV2 (S4,MWDA,RCA), I only tried it for a short while (probably not 10 minutes). If I connect, then right away disconnect and then right away reconnect again, TV screen goes dark immediately.Disconnect, TV screen comes back and shows awaiting connection, connect again and immediately dark every time. If I connect the first time, it works for at most 10 minutes.This combination works only intermittently. The only combination that doesn’t work is phone 1 connected to casting device 1 connected to TV 1. Power the casting device from the wall outlet via a phone charger. Use HDMI-to-RCA converter to get output from casting device. TV 2 – Old RCA Tube TV with RCA input jacks. TV 1 – Insignia 32” with HDMI port to receive signal from casting device, USB port to power casting device Phone 2 – Kyocera Hydro Icon with 4.4.2 stock unrootedĬasting Device 1- Microsoft Wireless Display Adapater (Miracast) Phone 1 – Samsung S4 with 4.4.4 stock rooted, a few tweaks. There are 8 ways (2^3) to connect these devices. I have two phones, two casting devices, and two T.V.’s. I don’t particularly expect a solution but interested if you have other ideas. I have a problem I thought I’d share mainly because it is odd.
