Does the new Nexus 7 has the Miracast / Wireless Display setting?
With dual band wifi it should be able to support it but nobody wrote about it yet and it is not in the list of the certified devices :/

Under Display Settings, there is a "Wireless Display" option you can turn on. When you do, your drop down menu now has a "Wireless Display" short cut.
I originally thought this was for the Chromecast, but that is not the case (as it doesn't detect mine). I don't have a Miracast device to test with, but that might be some evidence that it does support it.
Yes, this will be Miracast. Thank you!
Please do report back any successful results with Miracast. Or for that matter, with Slimport to HDMI. I might might upgrade my 1st gen but I'm waiting for the cellular version to launch.

Slimport was confirmed working in one of the mega threads It has pics to prove it and all. I'm sorry I don't have a link but it is confirmed working.
Slimport is definitely there, as it was a key feature advertised by Google.

I've been waiting a while for Miracast products to actually materialize and was disappointed in the reviews of the Allshare Cast dongle. I figured there are probably more people like me who would be interested in this device from Netgear. Hopefully it's the start of many Miracast products soon to be released.

intel just updated there Wi-Di product to 3.5? and it should be backwards compatable with miracast so hopefully in the next generation or two of smartphones this will become prevalent, I'm waiting for miracast and wireless ac to become popular before I upgrade my Phone again. So hopefully that happens at the same time.
what kind of phone do you have right now? the S3 is supposedly compatible with Miracast devices.

Hello, I can confirm that as of right now my stock Galaxy S3 (Verizon) does not work with the Netgear PTV3000 (WiDi 3.5 and Miracast support). However, I think that this feature is supposed to be coming in the form of an update to the phone (may never see it since I'm on Verizon).
There is also rumor of Key Lime Pie supporting Miracast out of the box. I guess we shall see.
I just thought this would help anyone searching for the S3 and Miracast.
Thanks
wow i'm so behind on things. I had no clue what this was. i still dont, i'm going to have to read-up on this...
I'm still trying to see what the use for me will be, since my TV has apps (pandora, hulu, netflix), it's connected to my PC (for anything else, via HDMI) and I can send stuff from my phone already via AllShare...
Hi guys,
I've tested a TV DVB-T tuner on the Motorola Moto G and works flawlessly. You can check it on this review - sorry, it´s in Spanish but you can understand easily just watching it

I was thinking the same thing...
I haven't really had time to check, but any dvb-t stick that's been around for some time where the Linux kernel supports it "natively" should do, right?

That depends. I have a few and they do vary in how much power they suck out of the usb port. I have a Hauppauge Hybrid 900 (950 in the US) that gets very hot and drinks power like an alchie. I also have an Asus mini 3000 I got for my eeePC 700 that sips very genteelly. Both have native Linux support but since I bought the above dongle, I won't be trying those.
The other problem is that you would need some android TV software that could interact with those sticks. The programs on Google Play seem to be very hardware specific.
Hey guys,
I just heard about this little marvel..
http://www.asus.com/Tablet_Mobile_Accessories/ASUS_Miracast_Dongle/
Has anyone try this? I really want some sort of Airplay functionality for my tablet, its around 100$ but if it does what it says it does, i think its worth it.
So, anyone have one?!
Edit: got way to excited and noticed its not release yet... Lol. So who is getting one?

No clue about this guy. I have a Netgear PTV3000 that works pretty well for screen mirroring. I use it for streaming media. For gaming I use the Analogix Slimport since wireless mirroring addsd latency.
Would like to hear people's reviews about the Asus product as well. I guess will have to wait till it's release and someone tries it out.

I'd recommend downloading Allcast Beta
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/12/01/koushs-allcast-beta-enters-the-play-store/
Works for all kinds of devices Smart TV's, Apple TV, Google TV, Roku .... I'm pretty sure any DLNA device as well.

AllCast is definitely a great video streaming option, especially for the cross platform (I have only tested it out on my Samsung TV). But, it is rather limited, at least at this time. Currently, it will only stream videos that are on your phone. It won't display pictures, stream other video services (Netflix, VUDU, etc), or even do mirroring. Hopefully, it will have these features in the future.
As for a mirroring device, I have high hopes for the ASUS Miracast Dongle. Hopefully, the dual bandwidth will cure the latency issues with the current wireless options. Unless I see reviews of it being a complete failure, I will be purchasing one of these.
Anyone seen when these will be released?
$100 for this is just crazy... and people complain about Apple's pricing?
android tv stick is a better choice
i recommend to buy an android tv stick like tronsmart mk908 or t908. it is a standalone pc stick and can even sstream everything via miracast.
it is much cheaper. chromecast or asus dongle are very limited of its functions.
cheers

Im curious to see if this one works as well as they say it does. Just not wanting to be the test rat for it atm... Done my fair share of testing new products.
there was a German poster over at the Asus T100 forums that said the Asus Dongle would not work for him.
i went ahead and bought the Actiontec Receiver from Wally World, works just fine so far, had to update the firmware...good to go.

I remember Best Buy selling the Rocketfish Miracast Video Adapter for $19.99 a while back. This is the cheapest miracast adapter that works with either 2.4 & 5Ghz bands.
hey,
i have a very simple question,
I have a note 3 and use the screen mirroring option to send youtube to my media server so i can see it on the big screen as we dont have a smart TV.
but i want to be able to do that anywhere without a media server, their is all these smart usb sticks that turn TV's into smart ones but i dno where to start, i just wanna be able to send my media to the TV, i have a hdmi for my note 3 but it requires a power source and the cable isn't long enough and i really didn't research it properly before buying...
im sure their is a usb or something that will allow me to do this that doesn't cost a lot,
Because I'm interested in the subject too, what software are you using as media server?

Never had a wifi issue. I'm using it in a setup with our 12 year old 40" Sony CRT tube tv lol!!! which I converted to "smart tv". That tv doesn't even has hdmi port, so I have A/V cable going into that converter box with HDMI output and connect smart stick to it. Controlling it with a small bt keyboard and streaming videos from usb stick connected to my Asus wi-fi router. Mostly used by my kids, and obviously streaming movies over wi-fi, and never an issue. This is an old stick version, they have new ones with a better spec. I think most of the issues were with some of the earlier versions, even prior to mine, where stick used to get overheated and causing various issues included wi-fi.

I am aware of how the 360 will communicate via low power BT4. But, the 360's Wireless N capability is a surprise.
The most interesting possibility (to me) is increasing the ability to perform standalone functions. For example, if it could connect via WiFi and play music or radio. I hear there are other watch devices with WiFi capability but I know no details.
If anyone has insight to the potential uses or Wireless N please share.
Maybe it will be used for Wi-Fi location?
I think that android wear devices are acting like display & input accessories to other devices and will not handle computations.
It could be for WiFi direct capability allowing for speedy file transfer between phone and watch. Although, I highly doubt it will have wifi on board as none of the other "wear" devices do, I would take the BestBuy leak with a grain of salt.

According to the FCC it does.
If it does have Wi-Fi, there is no functionality or way to make it connect. So unless it's totally hidden, this baby is Bluetooth only.
