Hey,
Which miracast dongle are you using with your G2? I am interested in purchasing one.
Also can you use an adapter to display directly to a computer monitor?

I just use this little Slimport dongle. It gets the job done and I don't have to do anything special for it to work.

Do let us know what it's like.
I dont have any recommendation for you, the one that I suggest you to avoid is getting the Netgear PTV3000, updated all the firmware, this thing sucks. It drops connection, your image will freeze. Tried with multiple devices same result.

I tried the Netgear PTV3000 and it was bad. But if you are in a market for a new HDTV, look for one that support DLNA/Miracast. I have an LG HDTV that support both and I mirror my phone all the time, looks great and very stable.

I third the PTV3000 sucking. Froze constantly after about 30 min of finally pairing it with my g2 and n7 2013. Stay away from it.

The slimport just mirrors the phone through a direct connection to the monitor/TV. It works flawlessly. But I realize now that OP was looking for a wireless Miracast solution though. Silly me.
All the Miracst dongles I've looked at had bad reviews. I hope you guys find one that really works consistently. It would be nice to have wireless mirroring on any TV/monitor and I'd rather not go to a Chromecast solution.
i would also like to know of a good and reliable miracast dongle. was hoping chromecast would have an update so it can support mirroring from an android device or at least a mod/hack to enable it but there are none.
I have the Rocketfish one from Bestbuy and it works well. I have used it with a Nexus 10, Nexus 7 2013, Droid DNA, Note 10.1 2014, Shield and a LG G2. It has occasional tearing once in a while but the Shield for whatever reason works the best. I guess due to the 720p screen and not 1080p. I got it a few months ago on sale for $29.99 which I think it is on sale again. It is worth $29.99 but I would not pay $79.99 for it.
I have the PTV3000 use it on my S4, N5, N7, G2, MAXX without issues, there's a few firmware updates that fix a lot of issues. I use it to stream my Slingbox to my TV, there's a slight delay...but don't notice it since I don't watch the phone, just the TV

The PTV3000 also will do WiDi, too, correct?
I'd really like an all in one solution (computer, phone, tablet, etc), which is portable, and lag free. I know there really isn't anything like that out there currently. I am hoping the ASUS dongle will at least take care of the lag problems.
One question. Can you use Wifi internet when using Miracast on LGTV since its using Wifi-Direct.

I was just about to ask something similar.. I have tried two different brand mini hdmi cables and i can get nothing to show on my TV. I have tried using it for netflix, videos from the gallery, etc with no success. I have tried all three resolution options with no success... has anyone gotten it to work with the built in HDMI options the revolution has?

Duh. I am such an idiot. I didn't look there. I found it, and it worked PERFECTLY on the HDMI input of my HP All-in-one PC, and on my 65" Sharp TV. Full audio and everything using a cheap cable from Amazon.
Thanks to the original responder for the hint on where to find it, much appreciated. To those who say RTFM, you can suck it because there isn't a mention of that to be found in the guide which came with it.

I had no sound at first. Had to change a setting on the TV to tell it to get sound through the HDMI. Works perfect now. Check settings on your TV.

At this point, your phone could have a bad micro HDMI port. I'd have it replaced with a new one. But if you feel like its not your phone then take your phone and your HDMI cable to best buy (or any store that sells Televisions) and ask a representitive that you want to test it out before you buy it (the TV ofcourse).
Most reps will let you hook in your HDMI device without causing much fuss.
If your phone works then its your TV.
If it doesn't then you can get another HDMI cable to test out (or find someone who has a micro HDMI phone and test their phone).
If it works on the second cable then problem solved.
If it worked on someone elses device then your phone has hardware issues.

Rooting your phone voids your warranty, so I'm pretty sure Verizon will check for that when they receive your old phone. They will probably charge you the retail price for the replacement phone they sent you.

It has the same processor as the GNex, with an open source operating system. Full Android will probably be running on it within a month. Sounds better than a smart tv in a much more aesthetically pleasing device with nfc.

It is aesthetically pleasing. Why would I need Android in a tv box when I have it in my hand? Short of a DVR function, the only thing I need it to do is wirelessly stream media from my hand to the TV. $99 is the price point for that, not $299. And I was never sold on the "everybody can use it" thing either, unless I'm coming to your house and jacking your stereo lol.

Yeah the everybody can use it thing is bs. I just like the idea of a Pseudo android device that I can use my phone and tablet as a wireless control for without having to use proprietary apps.

This looks amazing. I had to order one. I wonder if the HDMI out allows you to display the entire screen like the droid bionic would.

Friend,
how about lag?
Is it ok?
It is really ok. Streaming videos and other stuff is super quick. Only when playing games such as real racing 3 there is lag and problems with picture sharpness, but I didn't bought it for games. I have samsung keyboard with mouse pad so I wanted to use it as pc. But this with multi widnow makes me angry.
