And this one is confirmed to work with the motorola XOOM so i think it's safe to say it'll work the the Gnex, i haven't tested it yet, though i did just order one, i'll have it on tuesday if you want to wait.

Thanks

as i said, it's confirmed to work with the XOOM. i just bought it myself and i'll have it on tuesday. I'll be testing with 8 and 16GB flash drives as well as a 1TB hard drive. I also will test my PS3 controller with some games.
so if you want, wait until tuesday. i'll reply to this and i'll also be writing up a review in a full post.

I use one of these (£1.99 from eBay)

I bought a cheapie from Amazon for $1.46. It works fantastic in my Nook and Nexus.

Just bought one, one of the guys in the reviews for it said that he bought it for the Galaxy Nexus and it works, but you need to have a 3rd-party app installed, which someone here at XDA already made last week and put it into the market. I should have it sometime next week.

little bitty microUSB-USB reader. I'd probably only use the OTG cable for emergencies.

How do you make it work? Will it read USB Flash drives?

What about plugging in an external hard-drive? Working?

If the kernel that you're using supports NTFS. It can.

Thank you! I've just ordered one!

You also will probably need to use StickMount from the market.

[Q] Device that would allow me to connect Nexus to tv?

I don't know if there is a specific micro usb cable to hdmi convertor that I need to get in order to play my Nexus 7 to my tv. I don't remember if I read correctly, but I think I remember there being an article saying the Nexus 7 has a difference in its build, in which it needs a specific device to connect itself to an HDMI tv. Not sure though. If anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate it. I am basically only trying to look at these avi files on my tablet to a tv.

Think all you need is a MHL adapter

MHL won't work with the Nexus 7(2013). The slim port cable you ordered should work though.

You need a Slimport adapter (Not MHL which is a different competing technology!). Or get a Miracast adapter there are dongles , and use wireless access).

Unless you're running a CyanogenMod 10.2 build in which case, the
Slimport to HDMI function is not yet supported or working.

I use Netgear Push2TV PTV3000 to connect my N7 wirelessly to TV. It works pretty well. You may also want to install iMediaShare app from Google Play store on your N7 for streaming local and online content once connected to your TV.

Will this work with ANY tv?

So, i want to buy the official mhl to hdmi adapter for galaxy s4 which has a product number : ET-H10FAUWEGWW
Will this work with the galaxy s3 that i want to buy? If yes will it work with any tv?(assuming of course it has hdmi port)

It has to be a MHL enabled TV. At least that's what I've read. I actually bought one of those cables and tested it on my HDTV and it wouldn't show anything at all. I tested on both my Sprint Galaxy S3 and my Nexus 7 FHD.

Could u give me the link where u read it?

The Samsung Galaxy S3 uses MHL
The Google Nexus 7 FHD uses SlimPort
These are two different standards and the cable is not interchangeable.

Unfortunately I'm a new user so I have a few more posts before I can post a link in a reply. But if you go to best buys website and search MHL you will find what I have read. I think I included a screenshot in this reply.

Just because it says it on bestbuys website doesn't make it real. The MHL standard is designed to convert to regular HDMI. Any HDMI TV should work fine with it.

No offense to anyone. But I'm going to take the word of Best Buy's website unless, you have proof besides your say so.

If it says it's for any Samsung Galaxy product it's worth a shot. I don't know anything about MHL really. But the cord I have doesn't work and that's what I'm going off of. And the best buy website. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.

The other thing to note is are you running a custom rom. I think the mhl drivers are in the touchwiz frameworks.

There is no such thing as a MHL enabled TV. MHL works on anything HDMI ready. The only thing is if you are running a AOSP based rom, it will not work, right now i only works on TouchWiz.
My MHL adapter works flawlessly on my 2010 Aquos.

Actually, there is such a thing, but it's not that important.
An MHL-compatible TV will supply power (5V/500mA in 1.0, 900mA in 2.0. and 2A in 3.0) to the adapter and charge the phone.
A non-MHL-compatible TV won't do that and you'll have to connect your own charger, but it will work fine otherwise.

So if the tv has an hdmi port and i have a power supply, i should have no problem it seems...

If the only difference is the USB ports are more powerful then I don't see how that has anything to do with MHL.
I have successfully tried my MHL cable on many TVs and I've always used it's own power adapter plugged into the wall.
I have heard there are crappy MHL adapters that do not work though.

Correct. an MHL TV just means you don't need to have a charger on hand, have a free outlet, have a long enough micro USB cable to get to that outlet, etc. etc.

I bought that Tronsmart for $30. I know Chromecast may enable screen mirroning at some point, but the extended display looks very useful to me to use with my notebook. Anyway, I live in Brazil, so it's gonna take a couple of mounths to arrive here..

Nah...
That's miracast speed, nothing we can do, really. I saw somewhere Asus is making a "gaming" model that uses a dual-band wireless to get instant mirroring.

I just ordered the Lenovo WD100-SL, will post again and update whether if it works when I receive it. It's supposedly compatible with android 4.2.2 and above.

I have the rocketfish receiver and it works on all my devices on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz but on the moto x it only works on 2.4ghz. Shame because 5ghz has better picture , no artifacts, and if you mirror on 5ghz you can still use 2.4 for WiFi for streaming .

Speaking of the rocketfish receiver, it looks like it's been discontinued. I was going to order it and couldn't find it for sale anymore.

From what I understand, miracast in general kind of sucks because of the poor standardization across brands/devices. I have a lenovo laptop, and I'm hoping the dongle I ordered will work with the laptop's widi feature, as well as my moto x and nexus 7. :fingers-crossed:

yeah thats mostly true but i've used the rocketfish with nexus 7 1st gen (modded to work) nexus 7 FHD, galaxy s3, galaxy s4, and moto x and only had issues with moto x on 5ghz

I just got a Netgear PTV3000 in the mail yesterday, it works well with the Moto X.
Have not had a chance to put it through the paces but was able to briefly test it out on a 32" 720p HDTV.
Screen mirroring looked sharp enough, also tried Netflix and it looked decent but not as "HD" as I would expect, not sure if it was Netflix bandwidth or Miracast itself being the limiting factor. I'll load VLC on the phone this weekend and try playing a local HD file to see what it looks like.

Got the Lenovo WD100 today. Works well with both my moto x and nexus 7. Ironically does not work with my lenovo win 7 laptop... go figure.
