Anyone using Miracast on the X yet? What adapter are you using? Picture quality good?

Yes and it is amazing. I bought actiontec screen beam from Amazon for $59 and mirror my X and Asus Taichi and it is sweet. Actually works better with phone. Mirrors beautifully at 1080p. Barely any lag. Downloaded an mkv yesterday and couldn't get me taichi to work perfectly with the mirroring so I put the mkv on phone, downloaded archos video player, and the mkv played flawlessly to my TV.

Yes. I bought a Panasonic Bluray player with Miracast shortly after I got my Nexus 4. Was really disappointed with the lag. Moto X didn't work any better. Maybe the Panasonic player sucks? Maybe Miracast just isn't ready for prime time?

I would love to see a picture of this working... Does it mirror the entire screen?
Correct. I was streaming movies from my Plex app to my phone and having it mirror to my tv. Than my fiance took a pic with her phone and beamed the photo to me without interrupting the mirror

i bought the X withough looking into the MHL/HDMI thing. i was going to buy a new car stereo that would allow me to control the phone through HDMI but it looks like i need to look into something new. i'm hoping i can use a miracast adapter w/ an HDMI input on a car stereo with no problem
How does it behaves with games. Can you try a PSX emulator with a PS3 controller? sounds like a nice portable console

Same boat here, i have the appradio2 and am hoping the X will work with a miracast dongle. otherwise I may have to get a new phone before my trade-in time is up

The netgear push 2 tv ptv3000 works great with the appradio 2 and the arliberator, I'm hoping to have a chance to upload a video later so you can see it working.
I just got a Moto X and have an Appradio 2. have you got it working?
Any interference with the picture because it is wireless?
and whats your setup like?
Miracast with 5ghz. Possible no lag?
I tried miracast , and it is really awsome to view movies and to watch netflix on TV. There is a possibility to see the moto x screen on TV, thru wi fi direct.
But to play games the lag is too much, and its impossible to play fast games like need for speed.
Today i'm travelling and can't make this test at my smart tv, but could it be possible and reduce the lag if i use the wifi 5ghz speed?
Can anybody try is it reduce the lag?

I haven't connected via hdmi but from what I understand no app is needed, it's a full mirror. I would imagine it also upscales accordingly.

Thst is correct you get the full image on your tv and xoom at the same time with no app needed just plug in to your hdtv and your set
Yeah, piece of cake. I've had no issues including playing Super Mario Bros 3 on my 65" DLP
There is a slight overscan but doesn't really affect it. And it is still displayed on the Xoom at the same time.
Nice! Thanks guys!

720p. I don't know if apps have the ability to increase that though
This would mean that there is no real benefit to having 1080p videos playing from it because even if you have a 1080p T.V. the Xoom is only outputting 720p. I was going to share some of my converted movies at a friends house from my Xoom and this means I can just do a batch conversion to 720p instead and save space which is great.
Does the xoom screen have to stay on while outputting hdmi? I'd like to save some battery and also not have it shining away while watching a movie in a dark room etc. What happens if you hit lock while it's outputting?

yes I am hoping for an update or an app in the near future that will allow this. Sometimes I don't want it playing on both (especially if its a movie).
Also another benefit would be great if we could have 2 different screens going on (it is dual core afterall) in games. This would allow us to have controls on the xoom's screen, and have the actual screen play image on the tv. Just a thought....
is root needed to do this, or will it just work on a stock XOOM wifi?
thanks

It works on stock. That's what the hdmi port on the bottom is for.
Has anyone had an issue with the connection at the xoom being loose or do I just have a junk cable? If I move it the wrong way playing a game, I lose the picture. Pretty crummy. :'(

I have the same issue, I doubt we both have a bad cable. Seems odd to me that it would do this. Will be interesting to see if this is common or if we are just an isolated few.

Same here mine does the same thing. I have both a cheap Ebay cable, and the one that came with my DX. They both do the same thing. IMO all the connections on mine are loose but the only one that will stop working is HDMI. I'm wondering if more people have the issue, or if I should return mine
You should be able to stream video if you have an HTC MediaLinkHD.
This will only work with videos/music stored locally on the tablet. It will not clone your display, so no surfing the web or games on the tv. Just streaming movies and music to a tv.
I was toying with it last night on my transformer prime. I tried bubble upnp, imediashare, etc... All of them would stream music no issues, but the video would always fail.
Then I found this free app, and every video I tested worked. In most cases, this worked better then the pairing between my evoLTE and the medialink.
If you search the play store for medialink , you should find an app called Wi-Fi Media by Cavium (wont show up when searching for Wi-Fi Media). Install it, choose your movie, and set the renderer to the medialink.
profit???

Of course I don't have the Nexus7 yet. But if anyone does, and has the medialink and wants to try it I don't see why it would be any different then my prime running AOKP.
This would be an expensive option if you don't own a newer HTC device and already own a medialink. But seems the option is there at least.
The no video output was more of a deal breaker to me then the storage, and that seems to be a non-issue now. If I could just find one in stock.
we can't have an app for make a mirror screen such as htc one x use 3 fingers to mirror the screen is not possible with a mod in next rom custom ?
I've been using the the media link and the Wi-Fi media app with my nexus 7 and must say it works well. We take it with us now just in case we need to keep the kids quiet with a film. The video quality at 720p source is very good and it hasn't stuttered once.

I have one but mirroring kind of sucked and it was all that was available outside of the stock player and YouTube which actually sent the content via MediaLink (not just mirroring) on my HTC One X. I'll give it a shot with my Nexus 7 tonight. I was underwhelmed with the device using my HTC One X but I hope that it's better with the Nexus 7. Fingers crossed!
This should essentially be the same thing, a lot cheaper... once it releases.

Should have a beta out in the next 4 weeks, they are planning support for the n7.
Can anyone confirm if it works using play store movies that have DRM?

Can anyone provide a categoric answer on whether the HTC Media Link HD will play movies downloaded onto the Nexus 7 from the Play store that have DRM protection?
I think answering this single question will stop a lot of people hunting around and ultimately creating similar threads on the Nexus to TV issue.
Thanks.

How is this possible? At 1280x800 we have 1,024,000 pixels, at 32bit color depth that gives 32mbit per full screen image, so standard 60hz video would require just shy of 2gb/s... Wifi can't do anywhere close to 2 gigabit per second, 802.11n theoretical max is only 600 megabit and that's using 4 spatial streams which no consumer hardware supports... for most home users their max is going to be about 300 megabit/second using 40mhz channels and 2 spatial streams with a guard interval of 400ns (and even that is hard to achieve). At 300mb/s you'll get a frame rate of less than 10hz without compression.
So how the hell are they doing it?
It's driving me nuts. The only thing that stops the the Nexus 7 being nothing more than a toy or glorified ebook for me is the fact I cannot find any form of big screen streaming for it. My 2 year old phone has MHL abilities which is okay but someone must know if there are any plans for the Nexus 7? It seems to be ridiculous to have such a powerful device and not be able to use it on a bigger screen.
I've searched back 10 pages on this subject and found nothing so welcome any fresh perspectives on it.

+1 to BubbleUPnP...
Though screen mirroring is not possible in BubbleUPnP, you can throw any media from it to your TV or other
DLNA enabled devices...
Luckily, my TV has WiFi dongle and Wi-Fi direct feature...
so, once my device is connected to the TV via WiFi-direct, launch BubbleUPnP and select the TV as renderer, I can
throw any media to the TV...
I'm also hoping and wishing for the screen mirroring...
Hi I will look at BubbleUPnP, I've been using Skifta for the time being which does DNLA quite well.
I use my PS3 as a receiver but it doesn't support many file formats.
It's a real shame the Nexus doesn't at least support MHL.

Hi friends;
I have LG Smart TV 2013 model.
TV has miracast function .
I want to buy HTC One.
Has HTC One Screen mirroring function like Samsung Galaxy S4?
Galaxy S4 connect to tv wirelessly without using any adapter/dongle.(e.g. Netgear)
I want connect HTC One's screen to my LG TV wirelessly.
Up
According to this video, yes the function does work.
the built-in gallery app offers limited support for mirroring photos and videos; I am using skifta which does a better job imo, not only that but you can play content from another dlna source

You mention about DLNA.
With DLNA i only watch videos , pictures on my tv wirelessly.
I have HTC HD2 and already i can use DLNA
I want to see HTC One's screen on TV without any addional device(eg; Netgear, HTC Media link)
This is screen mirroring or miracast
For Example: In this video you can see miracast function LG optimus G between LG LA smart TV

I've read somewhere that miracast it's not working on custom roms WITH sense for HTC One (I've tried ARHD with no success). This means that miracast might work with GPE roms. As I said I've tried ARHD with LG and Sony TVs, no good, The TVs see the HTC One but when they're about to connect it fails. I can use DLNA though, but it's not what I really need.
Hey everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has found out how to get Netflix working at better than 720x480 @ 1750kbps on our S6 Active? I can't imagine that our phone can't support 5800kbps 1920x1080p. I was testing on my 300mb/30mb WiFi that easily supports 5800kbps playback on my laptop and Apple TV.
I've tried the discontinued APK on XDA from Keychar. The app crashes after logging in. Is there another APK that works?
