Does WiFi Direct on the XM LG-X-Charge (M322) phone need the SSID and Password of the device (Smart-TV) that I'm trying to 'connect' with AFTER the 'initiation' step has been accepted by both TV & Phone in order for the TV to "PLAY" video & audio ?

Again, was that a YES or NO ? Is that App ALWAYS running if it is not being ACTIVELY being, ie.-  will LG's Screen Share work if XM Streaming is ON the phone but not in-use -or- does XM Streaming have to be UN-INSTALLED to use LG's Screen Share  ? ... View more

If you see wifi direct option in your phone, then I would say comcast did not remove it. If its not working with your tv, thats a different problem and would need lg's support help.     Heard, on this Forum, that the Xfinity Streaming App detected & blocked the option, TRUE or NOT ? I know, that's a different question, but it has the same effect 'as-if' WiFi Direct were defeated, EVEN if it "shows" on phone because WiFi Direct is phone related NOT carrier related, I believe...   Apps don't ALWAYS change CORE features or provide warnings to ever conceivable manner of use, as-far-as I know.  You might know a lot more about FW; HW; SW than I do... most anyone would . I'm just using 'common sense' as my guide... ... View more

This seems to be your tv, it too says use wifi direct to share your screen.

Yes they state what we all have known because we can see WiFi Direct on our phones, that working is why I contacted them & you IN THE FIRST PLACE... it doesn't ! MHL (by wire) sharing was everyone's first 'go-to', Xfinity reps. advised it before I ordered and knowing first-hand my 5 yr. old Moto DID 'share-by-wire', I was 'all-in' and ordered. This entire SHARING issue is nonsense in that it shouldn't take days and weeks; many contacts with several parties; dozens of Chats & emails; countless requests just to use one feature of a smartphone.  ...

CONNECTING A SMARTPHONE OR TABLET There are a few ways you can connect your compatible smartphone or tablet to your Laser TV–wirelessly using your home network using DLNA (if your compatible smartphone or tablet are DLNA certified) or without a wireless network connection, using Wi-Fi Screen Share via Wi-Fi Direct or Intel WiDi. Share content via Wi-Fi Screen Share The Wi-Fi Screen Share function on your LG Laser TV seamlessly allows you to share what's on your compatible smartphone, tablet, or PC screen using Wi-Fi Direct or Intel WiDi (provided that your device is WiDi enabled). The great part is that both methods connect to each other directly over their own wireless signal and do not require you to be connected to a wireless internet connection. ... View more

HarryDemers wrote: usb can be used to connect to pc to see files/transfer on phone to/from pc, not video data. WONDER WHAT MHL; SLIPPORT; MYDP(DISPLAY PORT) IS ALL ABOUT ?   Before worring about these, you have to determine what your phone is capable of. according to your phone's manual, the usb port only has 2 functions: recharging and conecting to pc for file access.     Hi again   It is a given that not every smartphone is EXACTLY like everyother smartphones, there are differencies. That being said, the smartphones of today are 'hand & shoulder' advancement over the first cellphones, which were nothing more than walkie-talkies while smartphones are mobile computers. Advancements didn't usually remove major improvements like the A/V output on a 5yr. old phone that had HDMI out. Maybe current phones rarely use HDMI but now USB seems to do most anything you want via HW;FW; SW and with newer & newer OSs in phones it seems ill-logical (to me) to assume phones can't output any A/V. If Apps per channel don't cripple HW functionality why would a multi-channel App cripple the same HW, more backwards technology ?   Additionally, manuals are often outdated before they are printed due to FW & SW updates and patches. Almost any "system" can be modified this way, most are designed for this. I remember the days when one HAD TO use 3 RCA cables to hear & see CABLE on TV, now we have HDMI & WiFi.  We didn't HAVE TO go back to rabbit-ears with twin-lead ! Did you notice all the manufactures of Micro USB to HDMI cables ?  Somebody must be buying and I can't believe only a small hand-full of phones use those cables, on the contrary, I think maybe only a few phones models CAN'T use them. With luck our phones will... do we have the same phone, you never mentioned yours, unless I missed that...  no 'biggy' if you wish to keep that private, like to see yours work too.   Thanks for the conversation  ...

HarryDemers, Cast and Mirror functions are phone specific. Some phones can do it while others cannot. If you were going to cast your screen from your phone to your TV, your TV would need to have a built in dongle for that-- or you can purchase on separately like ChromeCast.  Regardless, as mentioned before, Our Stream app doesn't allow you to show content from your phone and cast that (or mirror) that image to your TV.  USB is only used for data transfer and charging capabilities.   KenF   KenF, the two XfinityMobile reps. I talked with when ordering SHOULD HAVE KNOWN what you know ! They SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD ME what they did !  Someone should pull the telephone recordings. What about the thousands of cables that connect phone's Micro USB to TV's HDMI ?  (see links above) What about a 5yr. old phone having a Micro HDMI output, for TODAYS phones to not have A/V out is BACKWARD TECHNOLOGY !   The fact is, USB now can do A/V and alot more via HW; FW; SW. Purchase ChromeCast ???   Thought a Free App. Needs Google Chrome, know that's free. Is ALL wireless communication between devices "cast" or "mirror", you didn't say that but everyone here seems to think they are paramount WHILE TWO DIFFERENT SALES REPS. NEVER HEARD OF "CAST" OR "MIRROR".  Think I made my point !       ... View more

View and watch is true if you use channel specific apps such as the ABC app, but not with Xf stream app. Using a channel specific app and the WIFI direct function of your phone, you should be able to watch on your tv if your tv supports WIFI direct as well.     We're making a little progress. No more CAST or MIRROR with an App for each & EVERY ONE of the channels on X1 TV, still no HDMI cable but ok on WIFI over to SmartTV that I don't have at vacation home, just a HDTV.  Does your phone get all your X1 channels via Stream App ?  Mine does, 5.5'' screen.  Was that App pre-installed or did you download / install ?  Mine was pre-installed & worked on 1st try.  Are we the same so far ?    ...

I understand what you meant by workaround. Your LG X Charge only has a USB connection according to the manual and has Direct Wifi and bluetooth to share data. So thats what you have to work with. Good luck, if you ever find something that works, let us know. If you find where they advertise you can mirror to a tv, I'd like to see that as well.     USB can charge USB does data USB can't do anything else ??? See a lot about USB to video; audio; A/V; HDMI; MHL; SlipPort; MyDP; etc. Might get $800 phone with HDMI port just to be DONE-WITH-IT !   AGAIN, "MIRROR" ONLY USED HERE, NOT ON XFINITYMOBILE.COM, SEE SITE FOR YOURSELF FOR THEIR TERMS.

You're correct, you DID say "check data usage on phone", I got ahead-of-myself. We agree on their "round-up" at least, COOL.   When I mentioned "work-around" I was referring to phone's AV output & which of the thousands of cables should I try given that the phone is SO new and is not "listed" anywhere among those sellers. I was NOT referring to a "work-around" to the Streaming App which unlike you I think should allow the phone's hardware to SEND AV out one way or another. At this point let's agree to dis-agree until there's proof by users or Xfinity, maybe a patch can be added or removed to make everything work as advertised.                                                                                       ...

Hi Mevnanzi   That Streaming App RECIEVES their TV Signal per their web site & per their Reps., DO YOU AGREE ? And their Reps. are as sure that the said TV Signal WILL go to a TV as you seem to be that it WILL NOT. May I ask where you obtained tour information, do you have the same Xfinity Service & Xfinity Mobile Smartphone & Plan as I do ?  If so, I will have to go with your conclusion & send your comments to them so they can make adjustments.  ...

Hi Mevnanzi, thanks for your comment.   What I read & heard also failed to contain those terms as well... Xfinity "SAID" watch TV via phone-to-TV, they might NOT understand or even know about "cast" / "mirror" !!!  They've only HAD smartphones for several months, where-as they hardly know about CABLE after 20+ years. Their web site also DOESN'T show real data usage, already 'been-there-done-than' with them. They ONLY provide a "rounded-up" running total in 100s of MB, ie.- you start at 0.1GB even though you've used ZERO then when you top 100MB in the real-world they show 0.2GB for 101MB when you're 99MB shy of 200MB. To make things even better only 1 out of 10 Reps. know 'how-to' find / look-up the real number, they just repeat the 0.2GB over & over...           ... View more

In re-reading the last post & my reply to it, I thinking that I haven't made myself clear or at least not clear  enough... Posters seem to be trying to help me watch what I am already recieving via cable boxes & cable DVRs. What I'm after is CONNECTING the Xfinity Mobile Smartphone to ANY Non-Smart HDTV via WIRE or WIRELESSLY that IS NOT in my HOME ! I DON'T need another "SERVICE" or anything like it, have anywhere / anytime via Xfinity Mobile (think that's why they don't call it Xfinity Cellular).  If I was 'told wrong' and their phone CAN NOT send TV signal to a HDTV or SmartTV then I'm looking for a "WORK-AROUND" (as mentioned in my original question/submission) like a Micro USB to HDMI cable (and there's thousands of those 'out there, just don't know which one WILL WORK, a little help please) --OR--  like a non-propriatory WiFi adapter that makes a Non-SmartTV into a SmartTV that will "SEE" my Xfinity Mobile LG X Charge smartphone & NOT lock me to every other provider except the one needed. ...

Actually the Xfinity Mobile web site "said" that, if memory serves... and I recall being pleasantly surprised at the news. Additionally, two different Reps. confirmed this, maybe I 'talked-them-into' the idea BUT usually I'm not that good at convincing people...  GO FIGURE, COMCAST/XFINITY PHONE REPS. HAVE NEVER IMPRESSED ME AS ALL THAT KNOWLEDGEABLE. I know I didn't "come-up-with" the Smart TV stuff, I heard about some phones and/or carriers allowing HotSpots but 'casting' & 'mirroring' is something I just read about recently. So, what am I to believe ? I also recall my first ever Smartphone (Motorolla Milestone 3) having a Micro HDMI port... wonder what that was for...?  That was back before 4G or LTE, maybe to make the phone into a PC with a big Flat Screen and a phone size keyboard...??? Thanks for the advice anyway. Did you catch my question about "data usage" per hour with the TV signal hitting just the LG X Charge smartphone itself (forgetting all about a Smart or Dumb TV) ?  I dare NOT ask Xfinity Mobile any more questions at this point, who knows what they might tell me...!    Don't have another two months to figure that one out, still trying to get LG's newest 'latest-greatest' to do what a 5 yr. old Motorolla COULD DO back then. ...
