LG G PAD IV Screen sharing/Miracast issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a LG G PAD IV 8.0. I needed to share the screen to my Samsung TV which has Miracast built in or to my Amazon FireTV. They both failed as in when the LG did a search, those Miracast receivers did not show up in the list of devices available. Mine is a Samsung 55" TV. Yet, the LG G Pad was able to Screen Share to an LG TV, a Samsung 65" TV and to a Microsoft TV Adapter. Then, all of a sudden, one day, the LG G Pad was able to see my Samsung 55" TV and a few days later, again it stopped seeing it. It took me some trial and error and many factory wipes and finally it turned out, I had to have a SIM card in the G Pad to see some of the Miracast devices..
I am writing this post to help others who may have similar issues.
As to the cause, I have not been able to determine why some Wi-Fi direct devices are detectable without a SIM card and why other are not. It does not have to be an active SIM card either as it turns out.
Cheers.

connecting lg g2mini to tv

hi i have looked but cant find an answer
am i able to connect my lg 2 mini by a cable to a large screen tv
thanks
The phone is/has been advertized as having a slimport, this is false information. It has NO slimport, so no TV-Out
After I emailed LG customer support (in the Netherlands) that my slimport adapter did not work they rectified the info on the dutch website.

Zenwatch 2 or LG G watch R?

Hey all,
Last week I pre-ordered the Asus Zenwatch 2 for 170 euro's. I recently found out that Vodafone has a big sale; the LG watch R is now available for just 125 euro's. The specs are about the same so I'm in doubt. Wich one should I go for? The only thing I'm afraid of is that the support for the LG G watch R will end sooner than the support for the new Asus Zenwatch 2. What are your thoughts on this?
Greets,

I had the LG G watch which suffered from bad burn in issues. YMMV

LG G5 and slimport

LG G5 and slimport
No reviewer site said that G5 is slimport compatible neither phonearena or gsmearena or any others...
So i searched on google and found no info
So i asked LG USA and analogix-slimportconnect ( slimport creator) about that ..
Analogix answered me: YES, its Slimport enable and compatible
LG USA, answered me: we still try to figure it, we are not sure, we will ask superior departement and come back to you. ( i even said to LG USA that LG deutch web site have slimport in Specification, but all others country doesnt say anything about slimport, but even with that they are still not sure if its truth or its a specification listing error...
i dont know why, but i doubt the analogix answer..
Can someone here CONFIRM at 100% that LG G5 have slimport compatibility ? Than ks for help, this question is very important for me i used Slimport with my lg g4 for my work and presentation and to play games too.
Not sure about Slimport, but doesn't it support Wireless Display?
gaming with wireless display has too much lag. unplayable
Haven't used it for anything but playing videos which play just fine so I wouldn't really know about a game.
I asked LG Germany and Austria if the LG G5 is SlimPort compatible, and wrote to me that it is compatible with SlimPort to support the LG VR.

Great news !! thanks for answer
LG USA confirmed me the LG G5 is compatible with OTG USB
LG Germany confirm me that Lg G5 is slimport compatible.
Another guy in forum confirmed me that Austria and germany have confirmed him slimport compatibility
Analogix in their tweeter and facebook account confirmed that lg g5 is slimport compatible:
facebook.com/SlimPortConnect/posts/1695067737403065

I have to say I actually really like the G5's look. From what I've read so far, it's looking to be a pretty kickin' fancy phone.

Yes, but the USB Type C Port is only 2.0 standart, but compatible to 3.0.
slimport with microusb-typec adapter
I'd just like add a little detail to this. I had a Delock slimport adapter for my LG G3, with microusb plug. Now that will not work with LG G5 using a microusb-typec adapter, because, as slimportconnect support confirmed, those microusb-typec adapters don't support "PD negotiation". So you'll need a slimport adapter specifically designed for usb type-c (and it's actually hard to buy any in europe), you can't reuse your old microusb slimport adapter.
I can confirm this works:

LG G5 passed Slimport Adopters program in April, 2016: http://us.slimportconnect.com/slimport-supported-devices/

What do you use your tablet for?

Hey,
I was just wondering what do you do with your tablets? Do you use it for entertainment or work? I wanted to get some ideas so I figured out I'll ask here.
Thanks for the answers
so only after a couple of days
So I bought the M5 10.8 LTE (CRM-AL09) 4GB / 64GB and I can tell you what I bought it for and used so far. Does that qualify to your question?
Short version: I use it as a cheap LTE connected laptop.
Long version:
The problem I was solving was the weird way USA T-Mobile charges for lines meant that in the family plan I pay for, 4 lines cost the same as 3 lines and so I was left with a T-Mobile phone line SIM in a dual-SIM phone doing nothing the vast majority of the time, as I have ATT line from work, so I was looking to move my T-Mobile SIM to something which could make a difference. Most laptops or tablets with LTE require a data SIM which costs something, a big phone can use a phone SIM which is cheaper or for me effectively free.
I already owned a Nexus 10 I used when home, I'd replaced its battery so it did a good job or being at home on strong Wifi (Nexus 10 Wifi is crap) and just watch videos or just use Chrome. So a high-res 10" Wifi was covered.
I already owned a Nexus 7 2013, I'd also replaced its battery, for pocket-size 7" size.
I already had a Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus which was a 8" Wifi. So 8" Wifi was covered.
So I figured I'd go for a basically massively big phone so when not on Wifi I got a laptop type size device, without paying for a tablet data line.
That means for me its a laptop when on the move which is independently LTE connected. I have a 128GB SD card so its got lots of downloaded media.
Entertainment... Internet, YouTube, videos, ebooks, private mail.

Hi, I have 8.4" Mediapad and it's my main driver. I use it mainly for watching online videos, web browsing ect whilst on breaks at work. Also use it as phone. Best tech I've bought
It's my every day phone. I use it for everything...just wish it had an ear speaker. Great for videos and media. Call quality could be better but otherwise, a great device with 4G capabilities in the U.S. (STH-AL09.)

Mirror My LG G7 Screen To My Fire Tablet?

I want to figure out if it is possible to save data/$ by streaming my Amazon Prime videos or any other video content I play on my LG G7 ThinQ onto the larger display of my Amazon Fire HD 10 (7th). I could of course use my G7 mobile hotspot for my tablet, which I do on occasion but I do not have unlimited mobile hotspot data, I do have unlimited data for my G7 which I really use. Thanks!
