Hi there,

I've been using Nexus 4's wireless display for the past few months, and everything works great (I am using Netgear's PTV3000 wireless display adapter with the firmware version of 2.2.9). Yesterday I upgraded my android OS to 4.2.2, and the wireless display suddenly stopped working. When trying to connect to PTV3000, a "RTSP closed by the source" message was displayed on the monitor. I rebooted both the phone and the wireless display adapter, but that didn't fix the problem. I even re-installed PTV3000's firmware, but that didn't help either.

I suspect that the wireless display feature was broken due to the Android 4.2.2 upgrade. Any thoughts on how to fix the problem? Thanks for your kind help in advance!

Ugh. Didn't realize they'd finally added support in 2.2.7. (Last I checked we were still at 2.1.5.)

And now I cant get it to enter into the update mode. :-/

Updated the PTV3000 .. everything seems to be fine..

Glad they got rid of the different Miracast/Widi modes where we had to switch using the side button. I use both so it sucked.

Now, I still have to update the N4; it still has only been pushed to a very limited number of devices. Kinds of reminds me of HTC's CID-related updates =(

It could be the net gear update didn't have support built in for 4.2.2 only 4.2.1.
You might have to wait to see if net gear sends out another update to support it.

If a "standard" only supports certain OS versions, it's not much of a "standard."

Fausse alerte.

It works fine. End of discussion.

Maybe it gets broken using some stock-ish roms, but I assure you its fine running 100% stock. Maybe all the OP needs to do is to re-pair his devices. Who knows.

Today I talked to a level-2 technical support from Netgear, and he confirmed to me that the problem I encountered is caused by firmware, but he didn't give me a firm date on when a new firmware version would be available that would fix the wireless display problem for Nexus 4.

For those who are interested, I found a workaround to make wireless display working again for Nexus 4 with Android 4.2.2: you simply need to install an older version of Netgear firmware! I download Netgear's 2.2.2 firmware here and now everything works.

I won't lie, this thread is making me wish I had something I could use my N4 with in my house. But that would first involve me buying a t.v., which just ain't gonna happen.

I'm not sure why all the existing smart TVs(with WiFi built in) can't just receive Miracast functionality via a firmware update. Oh yeah, that's right, no one would make any money doing that.
