Hi all!
Just a quick question about mircast, I've seen the XZ supports miracast which I am happy about. When I heard about the Nexus 4 having it and what it did I was really looking forward to the 'mirroring' feature most of all, I didn't get a N4 but got a Note 2 at the time....this doesn't have miracast built in but has Samsung's Allcast feature, which is kinda the same but requires a Allcast dongle too.
Now my questions are with the XZ when I get it on Friday (woop!), I would like to use miracast 'mirroring' feature with my TV (hopefully) has anyone got any experience with miracast at all?
I know I will probably need to buy a mircast dongle for it to work as my TV Pananasonic TX-L42ET5B doesn't support it, so do Panasonic do a miracast dongle at all as I can't find one. I also have a Sony BDV-EF200 BD 2.1 Home Cinema System and this doesn't support miracast either, so any idea's of a dongle again??
Thanks in advance as I know I might be asking a lot here.
The Netgear PTV3000 works with all TV's (HDMI output). Make sure to update it to the latest firmware version and you can use it to Miracast just fine.

So it appears the PTV3000 is not available to buy in the UK, hopefully will be soon!

Are Miracast and Mirrorlink the same (ie just Sony giving Miracast its own name)?
I expect the 2013 Bravia TVs will support this natively.

Not heard of mirrorlink, isn't it a different?
Well that's what I am wondering as the Xperia Z has MirrorLink and no mention of Miracast! The Nexus 4 has Miracast.

Hi,
I'm looking for a device that would allow me to replicate the screen of my HTC one on my full HD TV.
I would like to to able to do the same thing with the same device but with my mac
I think my solution is called miracast.
Am i right ?
Which device is known to work perfectly with the HTC One ?
Any idea of how to make it work with my macbook pro and iPad ?
many thanks !
HD MediaLink
Are you talking about the HD Media Link? This little accessory mirrors the screen on the HTC One to your TV. But depending on what you're doing, your experience may vary. If you like to look at photos and basically anything still, then this will work. But any fast paced moving pixels, forget about it. The only game that I've tried that works well is angry birds, but even then it stutters. I don't know how you plan on using it, but I'd say it's not worth $90. ATT gave it away for free during their preorder promotion.
This device, to the best of my knowledge, does not work with any other device besides HTC devices with at least Sense 4.0. If you want your mac/iphone/ipod to work, you need to get an appletv. Hope this helps.

Hi,
No i'm not talking about the Media Link that seems to work only with HTC devices.
I'm talking about a miracast dongle/box that i'll be able to use with my htc one, my iPad, my S2, my macbook pro, etc
Anyone have try Netgear PTV3000 with HTC One?
According to Google, the HTC One supports Miracast, but for your Apple devices only Airplay will work. Try to find a device that supports both.

There is a device called Xiaomi Box by a chinese company which is the only known device which supports Miracast as well as Airplay. Although this device is very hard to get due to its high demand in china. Try your luck. Most other devices like Belkin screencast, netgear ptv 3000, etc only support miracast.

I tried a Samsung allshare cast dongle with the HTC One and it seems to work. The One sees it as a miracast device and connects OK. The screen updates just fine but there is a serious audio sync issue when playing videos. I need to do some more testing.

I can confirm this does work with the HTC One
Miracast should be universal solution for Android devices, it is still young technology and there is not much information or tests and reviews.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/21/feature_wtf_is_miracast/
Bit of a flop about this is that we can't use existing technology, wireless connection, TV, PC's or consoles for that, like with DLNA. Those are designated dongles that plug into TV or monitor. If you type "miracast" in eBay search you'll find some dongles, but IMHO they are still too expensive, on par with Android media players which are far more complex and versatile. There are some hints that it can be enabled in Windows 7/8.1 using Intel WiDi but that is hardware limited. Maybe not for long

AMD is pushing AMD Wireless Display or AWD...
ZK-W18 Mirasharer doesn't work

Sorry duplicate post.
There is a video here about HTC One Miracast(NETGEAR PTV3000)

Just tried it with Sony Bravia W905 and it was no-go
One sees Bravia as Miracast compatible device, Bravia registers One and then after looong waiting nothing happens. And again, and again, reboot, restart, nothing. Oh well.

Yep, I tried configuring my One with Sony W655 and same story as above, both see each other, configured but then looong wait and nothing...
Maybe 4.2.2 will fix that?
I already am on 4.2.2. - ARHD 12. We even updated software on TV, didn't help.
Well, in that case it sucks...
It would be great to have this functionality out of the box...
Has anyone tried these HDMI DLNA devicse with our HTC ONE? I just want to play movies on the TV with this:

Get yourself the Samsung allshare dongle. It works flawlessly. Sad part it works better with my HTC one then with my samsung tablet

I have a Raspberry Pi connected to my TV, running XBMC (xbian).
I can simply use the "Select Player" option in the top right menu on my HTC when viewing pictures and select my XBMC device (xbian) I can then control the slideshow, shown on my TV pretty cool.
The videos I made with the HTC One are using 22mbit/s bitrate (ridiculously high) so that will never work via Wifi (unless you have a very expensive 11ac router).
But I could test it with other videos of course... will report back.
using the Yatse app, you will be able to stream anything to XBMC btw... but its a paid app. I think it uses DLNA tech.

Hi Globen, is this with videos taken on the HTC One or streaming videos? What's a youtube video like? I only ask because mine has a serious lipsync issue but works fine for photos and non-video screens.
Anyone know if the HTC One will work with any of the cheap Miracast dongles?
So the first generation Moto X does not support MHL out (phone simply shuts off as soon as MHL cable plugged in)
Does 2nd get Moto X support MHL out?
http://gadgets.ndtv.com/motorola-moto-x-gen-2-1962 Says no
http://www.anandtech.com/show/8523/the-new-motorola-moto-x-2014-review says yes
which one is it?
And if it doesn't that is extremely disappointing considering my old HTC One S supports MHL
Plugging a cable into your phone to share the screen is so 2011.
Most of what you want to accomplish here can be done with other means, e.g. using a Chromecast to cast your screen, watch your videos, see your pictures, listen to your music, or do whatever else.
I'd like to know also. I have a camp in the boonies (no internet) so we always use mhl on rainy days. If mhl doesn't work, and since there is no IR blaster, I might just be passing on this phone, as much as I want it! Ugh.

From what I heard last year's had no mhl and that article claims that had it too. So they are misinforming people on last year's model at least, therefore are not credible.

That's incorrect. Dl mirror enabler from the play store and boom.... Root required..... Just need a wifi connection

Thank you. I'll look into that. To bad my new Moto x don't have root. Does this app work for dlna or just chromecast?
Hi,
I have buy a chromecast ultra at the airport yesterday. I have try to connect it to my TV without success.
At the first boot, I have a black screen on my TV and my android phone with google home apps saying that their is an update for my Chromecast ultra.
Now, if I make a factory reset or press the reset button I get this :
- On the TV, I can see a blue screen with Chromecast Ultra and a yellow circle. After a few seconds, the chromecast seems reboot, the screen become black and the LED on the chromecast is blinking in white.
- I can configure the chromecast using google home apps or the chrome extension. After the configuration, the screen on the TV is always black and the LED on the chromecast ultra is white and fix.
You can see all of this on the video below :

I have only one HDMI port on the TV and I don't know the manufacturer. Devices like SOny PS3 work on my TV using HDMI. I have disconnect and reconnect all but it doesn't change anything.
Google say that some old TV are not compatible with their device. Can you help me to solve the problem ?
Thanks for your help.
Is your TV a 4K TV, the ultra is for 4K TVs?

My TV isn't 4k. It's an old TV.
I have buy the Ultra version because the store only have this version.

Yes it may be meant for 4K TVs but it should still display on lower resolutions as well.
My suggestion is to bring the unit back to where you bought it and let them test it on one of their monitors and see if they get screen.
It is very possible you just got a lemon unit.
I can't bring back the unit. I have buy it in an airport during holiday.
I test it on the new TV of a friend, I get a picture. I hope that the device can work on old TV or on TV that is not smart.
Is there a solution to make the ChromeCast Ultra compatible with my old TV ? Is there a configuration file that I can edit or an adaptator that I can put between the ChromeCast and my TV ?
Thanks,

The age of the TV doesn't matter...If it has an HDMI input then it should display in whatever resolution the TV supports.
Since it works on other TVs the only thing left is that the Input to the TV is bad.
Is there another input you can try it on?
Bad news, your TV is too old since it works on your friends TV.

No. I have only 1 HDMI port on the TV. The other input is SCART.

So this is a French TV? (which could explain your problem.)
What Airport did you buy this Chromecast?
I'm going to bet that you have a SECAM TV but the CCast may only supports NTSC or PAL.
If you bought this in the US it is possible it won't support a SECAM TV but the UK version might since PAL and SECAM are very similar.
It's a combination of things working against you here...Yes the TV is a bit old and not very forgiving in what signals it will accept. coupled with the fact that France, and the Former Soviet countries were the only ones who used the SECAM standard where most of Europe uses PAL and the rest of the world uses NTSC.
The cheapest solution is probably to buy a new TV as there is no guarantee that any CCast will work with that one.
You could probably buy a PAL adapter and convert the signal but that is likely to cost as much as a new TV will.
Thanks for your answer.
I don't know if my TV is Secam or Pal. I only use it with my Sony PS3.
I have buy the ChromeCast in Australia.

If it has SCART it is probably only SECAM....
The Aussie CCast is definitely PAL compatible.
I'm guessing your TV was one of the tweener models many people got stuck with in the time where SD was being phased out and Digital standards were not yet set.
Hello,
I have the same issue here and it seems that the chromecast is outputting at 1080p when ur TVs are only going up to 480p
Not nice to mention this risk on google side
