Miracast dongle/adapter

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.

Ah so this item is for the wired connection only? Looks like it doesn't have wireless?

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.

Mode Changer?

Hey all, I just picked up a galaxy gear watch, coming from a Sony smartwatch... Wondering if there is (even with root) an app to change the phone's ringer mode from ring/vibe/silent? There was an app like this for the Sony smartwatch... So, hope there is for gg.... Can't find it or the option..

Ohhh ! No, sadly that is not a built in feature..
Sorry I didn't realize what your were asking.
Ah okay, no worries, I thought I was blind in looking through... Hope Samsung (or a crafty dev) might be able to implement this... It was quite handy on my Sony smartwatch when going in / out of meetings (mute my ring tones, etc...)

Why not just keep your phone permanently on vibrate or quiet? You'll get notifications on your watch so you won't miss anything?

Anyone has chromecast working with Avia local files?

I tried from my S4 (I9500) and Tablet Z. Both not working but those guys providing continuous release with local file play fix. Anybody? Let me know if there's a work around.

Still doesn't work on my Android 4.1.2 Samsung Galaxy S3.
But works fine on my wife's Android 4.1.1 Samsung Galaxy S3.
Same carrier, same network, different color - mine is pebble blue, wife's is white, but I refuse to believe the white model is better than pebble blue.
So at least in my case it seems to Android 4.1.2 specifically. :\

May be the android version could be the reason. Both my devices are running on 4.3. I emailed all the details to Avia when I had this problem. They released a fix after a week which still not working.

Have you tried RealPlayer Cloud? Perhaps it might work better.
At first it didn't work for me either, but I went into es file explorer, found the file I wanted to play, long pressed it then selected open as.....I chose video (or whichever your trying to open, audio, pictures etc) and then opened it with avia and it works fine.

I have issues with Avia disconnecting when streaming from my Nexus 7 2013 on 4.4. Galaxy S4(sprint, stock) on 4.3 works great though. Anyone else having issues with their Nexus 7?
Working well with my 4.4 nexus 4 and 4.3 nexus 7 2013. For those having trouble, some mp4 files aren't playable. That may be the issue you are running into.

The first time I installed it wasn't working, now I tried again and it works, it casts the photos and videos from my Nexus 5 4.4.2

When you power on the SW it connects automatically if the bluetooth on the phone is already switched on! It lasts 3-4 days with normal use
I'm thinking of going to sw2 though.. And the post above me is true. I have no problem with it in terms with battery and connectivity
I just bought SW2! It's perfect! So much better than the SW1
Now my xperia z just updated to 4.3 is it still suitable and good for sw1? Because sme says aftr updted to 4.3 it have too much issues....

Ordered Gear 2 Neo from AT&T

Ordered the Gear 2 Neo from AT&T. I skipped the first generation. Eventually got a pebble and kind of liked it except for lack of color and the light plastic feel. Supposedly they will ship on the 8th.... hope so. I will give my initial unboxing impressions when I receive it. I will be curious what custom things can be done after a few devs get a look at it.

Remote is good. As far as can tell all I can do is power, volume and change channels (up/down). Don't think I can bring up the directv Guide or dvr but still messing with it.
Update: Threw is a keypad when you swipe the remote so you can key in channel number.
