Miracast How-Tos - Asus Transformer TF701

I'm quite new to Wi-Di and Miracast. Can someone briefly explain how it works? I tried to do it on my friend's Samsung Smart TV since I think it would have miracast capability but it wouldn't work.
Also, I don't think my TV has Miracast function, would buying a dongle like this work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wireless-iP..._Internet_Media_Streamers&hash=item2ecd29d58f
Do I just plug that in one of the HDMI port?
Thanks in advance!

I guess not many people use Miracast? Maybe it's not very popular yet...

I have the netgear ptv3000 miracast device. Yes u just hook ur miracast device to ur TV HDMI port, and then instructions will appear on ur TV screen. U connect from ur tab wirelessly to the miracast device. Go to ur display settings in ur tab u should see miracsat under screen sharing tab. But to be honest miracsat doesn't feel as smooth sometimes very laggy. I would suggest buying a very long micro HDMI cable and directly connect tab to TV. That's what I do.

Okay thanks for the advice! Yeah I was wondering how well it performs, if it lags still then I'd probably stick with HDMI connection then. Does it support HD video playback?

Yes it supports 1080p playback, but like I said, it is very annoying and laggy. For me it would play for 30 sec then freeze and sound would go off sync. Its not worth it in my opinion.

[Q] TV Out ?

First off:
Running Cognition 3.04
TV is Vizio 32" LCD 1080P
3.5 mm to rca red,white,yellow
not sure the brand of cable, just one I had lying around.
I seem to be unable to get tv out to work. Is there a certain cable that works better than others?
TV OUT Settings are on, and using NTSC. I tried PAL also just in case. I tried all the tv input settings (av1,av2, ...etc)
Saw this work in numerous videos. I must be doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for any input!

I Had a similar experience but my TV is older... I just presumed that the TV couldn't handle the output. At one point I was able to get a really faint sketchy image of the phone that was live but nothing that would let me watch any videos from my phone with it.
Edit: I found Twonky Server Mobile in the Market and stream from my phone to my Xbox360 with no problems. I recommend the app it's great!
I went on ebay a typed iphone tv out get the one with a 3.5mm jack

Got it to work! It was the old cable I was using. I used my buddies nice new Belkin cable and it works great!
How does the quality look? Sound too?
Video Quality: Not so great, but I really didn't expect great quality through AV Cables.
Audio: Not bad at all!
I tried a couple games through headphones coming out of the tv, and the sound was real good.
Eh, not bad. Wish it had an HDMI OUT!

Exactly, that would be sweet. I read a post on here somewhere about a cable that is mini usb to hdmi, that Samsung made but then gave up on. Why oh why would they do that?
I bought a cable from radio shack and it works fine. Connected it to my 46" samsung hdtv and an older tube tv. The older tv only had a cable input so I connected the rca thru a vcr. Both work fine. One note u do need to switch the yellow and red cables when connecting to the tv. Colors wont match up to get it to work.

Well I'm not sure what cables you are using but, Yellow is video and white and red are audio on mine so that ain't happening. But as previously mentioned, I got it to work with new cable, matched all three colors.

i read this too on a forum with the following additional info: (not sure on accuracy)
the reason it doesnt work / needs update for HDMI cable to work has something to do with the dock, in order for HDMI to work in HD through USB it requires all 5 pins/wires, and programming the phone to use them for hdmi would stop the docking cradle from putting the phone into desktop mode.
Samsung basically had a choice to make. Docking cradle with dock mode OR usb/hdmi.
**once again that was read on a forum, truthiness may very.
I just posted an email to Samsung support about compatibility and what software is needed. I will let you know what I hear.
Hi guys , did someone finally manage to get this hdmi cable to work (Samsung ECC1HU0BBEB) with the captivate
I bought it , have tried several ROM's and still nothing yet ! No signal !

Create an app to do what ?
There is no HDMI port on the phone, the only solution i see is to use the USB port, but then you would also need some hardware that connects on the USB and reinterprets that data sent to it and export that on a HDMI port.
I for one haven't seen any such devices (USB-to-HDMI for phones).

It is called MHL adapter
It does exactly that- micro usb to HDMI and is being use in galaxy nexus and galaxy note etc
Unfortunately not the case for our blacky
So, finally end with smart share..USB mass storage only...
NO HDMI...:banghead:

Just we have to waite for dev to update the kernel.

As said before it is nothing to do with an app. It has to be supported by the kernel. So far not possible for the black. Also possible issue is the output electricity. It needs to be 5v 500mA.
Technically speaking the OBs chipset supports usb-otg and hdmi .
Just matter of incorporating mhl in the kernel now or on ICS.
P.s. In an optimistic mood i bought the before mentioned adapter, and it has optional external power supply ( the phone charger or battery pack) .Waiting for it to come, and either there will be some change in near future or there will be new phone which supports mhl out of the box.
opti_black lacks HDMI connectivity..
thats sad but true .
It is not OB that lacks it.
The SOC can do it. It is LG that ain't interested in giving us the option.
i certainly wouldn't use it
i did not use it at all in my optimus 3D
As like the members say it certainly depends upon the taste of droidser.. some of them take its advantage while other rarely..
However its overall use by droidser is least.

So guys are you sure there is nothing to do in order to connect OB to TV by hdmi cable?
I just bought a LED TV a week ago and I want to connect the ob to it..
Afraid not a lot to be done. I have usb to hdmi adapter and it works fine with Galaxy Note , but as mentioned before not with the OB.
Following closely the development for the galaxy sl. They are still in a lock down and no luck.
But still hope is there.
ow about on screen phone??can use it for make an app for hdmi?
done some searching around for this too but no real solution. If you want to see your phone screen on the TV, connect it to you computer, use some remote screen software and connect the computer screen output to the TV

MHL Adapter

Hello!
I just bought a MHL adapter for my Tab and it doesn't work. The adapter runs with no problems with the HTC ONE M8(just Plug&play) , but on my Tab S2 i get only a slow chargin message.
Is there something that I need to do in the settings menu in order to get the connection?

I had all kinds of trouble getting either my 710 or 810 to connect. If I fiddled with it enough, pluging/unplugging, turning the TV off/on while plugged in, switch apps etc. it would finally connect but the resolution was lousy. Broke down and bought a Chromecast dongle. Even with that, the Screen Mirror res was bad but apps with built in Chromecast connectivity like Netflix were OK.
Sorry for the bad news but Samsung really dropped the ball on this issue.
I have a cheapo mhl adapter for my tab S that works just fine. Resolution is fine too.

A cheap one,i don't know...it just says MHL Adapter on the damn thing.
And is a 5 pin model,i'm going to try one with 11 pins.
Yeah, I think you'll have better luck with an 11-pin adapter. I don't think a 5-pin one will work on the S6.

The best will be universal - 5 & 11 pins in one.

Define "fine". What resolution are you getting? 460P , 720p or 1080p? And what aspect ratio? IOW, does the picture fill the screen or do you have wide black bands or each side?

Does USB C TO HDMI work

I was thinking of buying this phone as a dual solution for mobile and tv gaming.
Does cables like these https://www.amazon.in/AmazonBasics-Type-C-Digital-Multiport-Adapter/dp/B01LYJQ5ZD/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1547955384&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX118_SY170_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=usbc+to+hdmi&dpPl=1&dpID=31EODvfY81L&ref=plSrch work
If not can you suggest a phone under 15K which supports these connectors?
I don't think it does.
have you tried it?
Do you know any other phones that support the cables which are under 15K?
You can use this application to check if your phone supports HDMI output https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wikimediacom.MHLChecker

I have not tried it but surely it will work. These cables mirror your phone's screen on TV, so that you can play games, watch movies. But I will suggest you something else.
Instead of buying cable, go for casting device like Amazon Fire TV stick. It has the option to mirror your phone screen on TV. Since it wireless connection , no need to sit near TV.
Amazon fire TV stick also has lots of apps like Netflix which is useful. Hope this helps
Well the app said it doesn't. And probably is right.
There are only a few phones left that still support MHL.

Usb c <-> hdmi ?

Hello guys,
I made some researches before asking but couldn't find...
I got the Mi 8 recently, not really used a lot yet and I'm asking me if sending signals via HDMI to USB C is possible. I know the opposite is of course possible.
Let say I wanna view my raspberry desktop on my Mi 8 using this cable/adaptator, could it work?
I'm also aware that there is some other possibilities to see my desktop via apps like vnc etc so not need a cable but I'm curious to know if both directions are possible.
If so, what app should I use or you recommand to make my raspberry desktop appears on my phone?
I'm lack of knowledge so perhaps its a stupid question to ask. Sorry about that.
Thx in advance!
Cheers

With apps like ApowerMirror, you can stream over USB to a PC and plug the PC to a TV or try a DisplayLink adapter (don't know if it will work). Other than that it's just wireless display to the TV, if the TV have an Ethernet port connect it and have the Mi 8 connect using 5GHz to a router to reduce lag (or it might be lag free). USB C to HDMI doesn't work because the phone doesn't support it.

So I got one of these:
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/2uu1qfWs
It works with it, but... It's lagging, sluggish, and slow.
When there is a video playing on the screen, horizontal, it's okay, because only part of the screen is getting refreshed.
But when I switch to vertical playback, it's only around 5-17 fps, depending how much of the screen have to refresh.
BUT probably only lagging, because it's 1080p.
Whe n I tried with a portable USB screen (this one : https://www.amazon.com/MIMO-TOUCH2-7-inch-Touchscreen-Monitor/dp/B0052Z996E) it was fine. But the resolution os only 720p (or less?).
So.... Still better to have a chrome cast ultra... Maybe? I didn't tried it yet, only chrome cast, and it was okay (except the audio... It was bad.)
If you are searching for duplicate phone screen (usb c to hdmi), you can always buy a displaylink adapter like this and a usb otg: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B076SX73LY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It duplicates your phone screen easily with the displaylink presenter app.
No lag, no blurry, no glitches, tested by myself, awesome results. It works with any pc also through usb (for example having two hdmi out with two screens on a single pc).
The only cons on this model is that it uses your phone battery to power the adapter, you cannot charge your phone when you're using it...
The other direction, hdmi to usb c has no options I think, only usb to usb comunication
