Think we may get Miracast support via unofficial way such as CM/AOKP?
GNex has WiFi Direct and supports dual band WiFi, so i can't see why only N4/S3 have it. hTC has media link which is basically miracast so do you guys know of a way to add it to the GNex? Maybe Samsung AllShare Cast?
The Galaxy Nexus is not listed in supported devices on wi-fi.org though.
thats why i said unofficial way. But regardless the US SGS3 s not on the list or the Note 2 or the HTC one S/X and we all know they are able to mirror the screen on to the TV. sure maybe not miracast but at least they are still able to do it. Why would this stop the GNex?
Is DLNA not sufficient for streaming? Or are you only interested in mirroring?

Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to connect the s4 mini to hdtv by mhl→hdmi adapter in the same way that you can on the s4.
I have bought an adapter suitable for the s4 but doesn't seem to work with my hdtv via hdmi.
Someone please help?
Thanks
The MHL protocol isn't supported on the S4 mini

Is it a hardware limitation, or something we can work around?
No official word on it. The latest kernel updates haven't brought any mhl or otg functionality to the phone.
Perhaps a developer could look into this!
4 months down the line - does anyone know any different to this?
Tried using my MHL to HDMI the other day and didn't work - was hoping there is some kind of work around by now?
Downloaded a few films from the Samsung Hub and was hoping to watch them on something a bit bigger than my phone! Tried the DLNA option but it didn't find my downloaded videos (only videos done with the camera). Guessing this is some kind of DRM restriction?

Actually there is a way but you should by an AllShare Dongle http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Wi-...id=1386596265&sr=8-2&keywords=AllShare+Note+3
The other way is to have a Samsung tv which support Screen Cast or Screen Share which will work with our phone.
I also prefer the MHL way but until now there is no info if this will ever work.

If you have a new Samsung TV which support Screen Share you are good to go also other devices which support Miracast should be also compatable you could see more about Miracast here:

So I noticed the older Galaxy Note 10.1 is listed as compatible with the Altec ScreenBeam Pro... I'm wondering if it also works with the newer 2014 edition. Has anybody tried? It seems to work quite well with the Nvidia Shield (Nvidia actually recommends it out of many miracast devices that they've tried. They've even worked with altec to optimize it for the Shield, so I imagine that would also benefit other compatible Android devices): http://www.actiontec.com/products/63.php

it works, have the shield recommended firmware installed on the screenbeam as well. tried drawing and watching google movies with it. no problems.
I have the Rocketfish MiraCast receiver and it works with the Note 2014.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback... was beginning to think this was going to go unanswered. Guess it may be time to look into getting a miracast adapter! Thanks again.

I am also rooted and MiraCast still works. It is a bit more slugish than my Nexus 7.2. Probably because of scaling down since the Nexus is the resolution as the TV. My Nexus 10 was a bit slower as well.

I have the PTV3000 dongle and the note seems to disconnect immediately after connecting to the dongle with this message "unable to start screen mirroring because of a hardware issue".
quick lookups on google seems to indicate it's related to the status being unofficial. I am wondering if you had any similar problems and if I'd appreciate if you can share your workaround if you have any.
Thanks

Try resetting the ptv3000 and updating the firmware.I got to work after a few mins.

Nope, you just need to plug the adapter into an available HDMI port on your tv
oh cool, thank you. Was just a bit confused on that.
I've had some luck with the ptv3000 on the 2.4.26 update. YouTube videos and games almost work, but my connection just seems barely too slow to be usable. Pictures and anything else seem to work okay for me. Would the screen beam pro work any better for gaming since I'd seems to be endorsed by nvidia?
Are You using the built in screescreen Mirror app
Are you using the screen mirror in the settings or a third party app
I'm using the one in settings. Would any third party app be better?
I just purchased this IoGear GWAVR miracast video streaming/screen mirroring box from New Egg and was wondering if anyone else has tried it with their 10.1 Note 2014? I already tried the Netgear Push2TV with the latest firmware and the connection was horribly unstable. I know there's the Samsung Allshare box but I want something that streams in 1080p. Hopefully this IoGear box works well, and I'll be sure to post any results of my experience once I get the box later this week.

Yup I got it and it works beautifully! I've had no connection issues at all and everything streams perfectly in 1080p. It's definitely far more reliable than the Netgear Push2TV.
Thank you for your replay,
I will buy it and try it too.
Excelent

I've got both the PTV3000 and the GWAVR and I'm mirroring my Note 10.1 2014 kitkat and my note 2 still on 4.1.2. The PTV3000 works great on TVs but doesn't work on hometheater receivers. So I've been looking for a miracast receiver that will mirror on my Samsung Blu-Ray home theater. The GWAVR mirrors my note 10.1 with no issues, but my note 2 struggles... the note 2 gets choppy and has ghosting issues every now and again. Anyway, I'm writting to see if anyone has found or knows where to find any firmware updates for the GWAVR. I've checked all over iogear's site but can't find anything. Or does someone else have experience with the GWAVR on a theater receiver with the note 2 (kind of a long shot I know, but thought I'd throw it out there anyways).
Thnx

My GWAVR hasn't turned out to be the "miracle" streaming device I thought it would be. It sometimes works perfectly, while other times will have connection issues, and/or poor video streaming quality. It still works better than the PTV3000 but is far from perfect. Sorry to hear about your Note 2 issues. I think it's just an issue with the poor options we have for streaming/mirroring. One day hopefully a device will come out that really mirrors/streams the way it should. To be honest the best streaming I get is with my Samsung smart TV 32" LCD. This streams perfectly with my LG G2 and 10.1 2014 Note.

Did you try updating the P2TV firmware? FWIW, I have one of these and it works perfectly with my '14 Note 10.
BTW, the good news is even if you're rooted and have a custom recovery and have tripped your Knox eFuse, Allshare Cast still works (with the latest KK, at least).
Does this work with gaming?
It wouldn't framerate fast enough, I wouldn't think.
(... that being said, I've used the ASCD to watch sports streamed from my OG Note 10.1 to an 60" HDTV- it wasn't the worst picture in the world ....)
HI guys. Can someone please recommend a decent method of being able to wirelessly display my nexus 7 FHD on my 42" LCD TV. It isnt a smart tv so I need a device to do this but I want to be able to play games on my tv using the Nexus as well. I have seen a few dongles for about £30 on amazon but they all have dodgy reviews. The cheaper the better but I obvs want something that will work flawlessly. Please can you guys give me some advice and your recommendations?
Many thanks

The SlimPort is a great device. I do not personally own it but I know people who own it and they say it works flawlessly. Since I cannot post links yet I suggest you go to Amazon and type SlimPort.
In android 4.4 in the display section of the settings there is an option to cast screen and since it says "cast" it leads people to believe the chromecast will be updated at some point to mirror screens, however it doesn't have that capability at this time but it will be a great option when/if it happens!

I was surprised when the Nexus 7 cast screen feature in the display settings worked with my Samsung All share Cast dongle, but it isn't that good by any means. But then, not even my Samsung S3 does screen casting to the dongle very efficiently either. So, slimport tethering is the way to go using a Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad to remotely control the Nexus.

The Netgear PTV3000 has been pretty flawless for Miracast so far. Just make sure you don't have any other devices operating on the 5 GHz band when you're using it. HTH.
Hey all here's what I'm going for...
Walk into conference room, start wifi hotspot on my phone and plug some type of dongle (chromecast/AllCast, etc..) into the back of the projector. Then I would connect my Note 10.1 2014 to the dongle and be able to mirror my screen to give presentations.
Has anyone tried this? Any creative solutions?
Miracast devices can do exactly this with wifi direct, so the hot spot isn't actually necessary to screen share. The only downside is that they are HDMI output, so projector compatibility is limited when dealing with older units.

Ah thank you! I looked into miracast and that is exactly what I was looking for. So the Note 2014 is miracast compatible?
Also, do you know of any cheap stick-like miracast dongles? I found this http://lettouch.com/rockchip-miracast-dlna-hdmi-dongle-for-android-ios-device-p-988.html.
Edit: do they all require an external power source like http://www.focalprice.com/EH0360B/Hi763_Miracast_WiFi_Display_Dongle_Black.html?Source=EN_BFDproduct this?

You can also use MirrorOp. MirrorOp
I am using it at school for presentations. The sender software is on my Note 10.1 and the FREE receiver is on the PC which is connected to the OHP. The sender is only $10 and you can get it on the Play Store. Works over WiFi.
Note: Get the Galaxy version NOT the general android version as I have tried both and the Galaxy version works much better.
