This one works. You can stream movies bought/gifted from Google Movies from wifi to the phone to the device, which is neat. Flick golf and games like that work without issues, Riptide works but laggy.

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] biggiestuff:
2 reviews say that there are lag issues with the nexus 4. I definitely like the portability of that device but being a non-brand name I'm afraid of the continued support of it. I was thinking of the Pansonic DMP-MS10 but not sure how big it is and if it could be powered off of USB only. The added feature of it being a streaming box and not just miracast is tempting.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] unknownprotocols:
I have ptv3000 running I think 2.2.15 firmware. I have it hardwired to a 5 volt 2 amp power supply in my car for appradio since I can't get my hands on a slimport adapter. It randomly disconnects with every rom I have tried, and when it does run, it either works okay, or works with slightly garbled audio. Kind of like talking into a fan or something. I have determined that nearby wifi is the determining factor. (note that the ptv3000 sits under driver seat, and phone sits in center console...) any nearby wifi signals cause either garbled audio, or a full disconnect. If the phone can see an open wifi network, instant disconnect. Until I can get a better firmware, or a slimport adapter, I had to put all my music on an iPhone to keep in the glove box. Smh...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ibarra21:
I'm having doubts on buying the Netgear Push2TV PTV3000, apparently in amazon most people only give it 1 star. Miracast isn't supported? Didn't Netgear release a new firmware version lately to support Miracast?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] unknownprotocols:
Yes, there is a firmware update that supports miracast. However, even after most recent update, it still randomly disconnects, and audio is sometimes stuttering. Nearby wifi networks seem to cause this problem, and from my testing, it does not seem to matter what channel the wifi network is on. If your nexus sees any WiFi networks , miracast is trash on ptv3000.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] ibarra21:
As far as I know, I get the stock firmware when I buy the PTV3000 right? Would it allow me to update to a certain firmware version or would it just search for the latest update?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Tunderpimp:
What works, I don't want to waste my money
[Nexus 4 Accessories] unknownprotocols:
It doesn't auto update. You can pick what file you want to upload to it. If you hold down the button on the Miracast adapter for like 5 seconds, it starts it's own wifi network, you connect to its wifi, and browse to it like you were going to configure a router.

I have been chasing the same problem in my car for months ....

I have slim port and it works flawlessly

I have ptv3000 and it works perfectly in the house

Every time I try ptv3000 in the car it closes connection after 5 mins

I have tried every firmware available since January .... No change

The only variable between the home and the car is the Bluetooth

That has to be the problem causing the force closing
[Nexus 4 Accessories] unknownprotocols:
Or maybe... Car metal? Hmm, testing to be done. I have not tried it indoors, I am going to try it, and throw a couple bluetooth connections into the mix... May also move the miracast to further to the back of the car... Maybe it is too close? FOR SCIENCE!

LG DWD-300 Got one - doesn't work

You would think a Miracast Certified device from LG themselves would work but afraid not.

Purchased on Amazon.com yesterday

http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-DWD-300-Miracast-Certified/dp/B00C6VOZ2A

and here are my results

1) Plugged in to my HDTV, plugged in the USB power

2) Powers on fine and shows "Waiting for Connection"

3) Nexus 4 (with 4.2.2 STANDARD Factory image) shows the device in Wireless Display

4) Connecting will show both sides displaying "Connecting", then a "WiFi Connection Failed" on the output the DWD-300 shows on my HDTV, Nexus 4 when this happens still shows "Connecting..."

Seen this on multiple reboots of the phone and the DWD-300 receiver device, even did a pinhole reset of the DWD-300 eceiver device.

I've de-associated by home WiFi (N4 should support a miracast connect AND local WifI) did this to ensure no issues due to this - still WiFi Connection Failed

Tried on a different HDTV to ensure no weird HDCP or something like that was happen on panel detect once connected - same behavior.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] mohitrocks:
For people wondering whether to get the rocket fish adapter or the ptv3000, I just wanted to chime in. I've been using the ptv3000 on and off for the past couple of months with literally no issues. It works better if its right beside the adapter (or pointing directly at it), but nevertheless it works very, very well. Also, the thread at Google product forums is amazing (scroll back in this thread, google it or pm me for the link) for both troubleshooting and updates from Netgear. They were even nice enough to do a free giveaway around super bowl time.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Wisefire:
I purchased the Rocketfish Miracast Video Reciever.

With the Nexus 4, there are problems initially. The video doesn't work, but sound does. To solve this you need an HDTV that is capable of CEC. I was able to navigate through my TV menu's and enable CEC, and restart my TV and the device. After doing so I then use the TV's directional pad to select the settings icon, press okay, and turn off HDCP. Then return to the main screen, and connect your Nexus 4.

I've been able to stream video, music, everything, wonderfully.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Smallsmx3:
How is hd video? Any stuttering? I only got it to work on cm 10 and turning off hdcp on my phone and the video quality wasn't that great. Hdcp can be turned off on the tv? My Samsung tv has cec but I don't know if there is a setting for it. So far the ptv3000 is working well. The phone needs to be close to the receiver if I'm streaming hd.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] XDAPP:
I just receive a new belking screencast from amazon but my n4 doest even recognice it... did you manage to have it working at all??
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Wisefire:
You can infact turn off HDCP on the device, not your TV. You will need to enable CEC on the HDMI port of your TV through its settings. Then power cycle the TV. After doing so, your TV's remote will work with the Rocketfish device. Giving you the ability to enter the settings, and turn off HDCP.

It does stream video very well, I was about 8 feet away. I wouldn't say its perfect, I mean, it is wireless... but the quality is good enough not to bother me. I have played YouTube, as well as use my Dish Anywhere app to stream from my slingbox, and Plex to stream from my media server. All in all, it's pretty neat little device.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Smallsmx3:
Ok. Well when I had it plugged in I think I had cec enabled. Since it said so on the tv source. Any ways I switched to the ptv and I'm much happier that I did since video stream is as clear as having it wired to the tv

Miracast Blu-Ray Players

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience (positive or negative) using the Miracast feature of the Nexus 4 with the either the Panasonic DMP-BDT230 or DMP-BDT330 Miracast enabled Blu Ray players? (or other brands Blu Ray players that support MiraCast?)

Does it connect easily with the Nexus 4 and does it mirror with or without lag/latency?

I've tried searching the forums but found no mention of these before, so figured this would make a good spot to ask about them.

Anyone having success updating the firmware on the ptv3000 I have tried to do it from my phone as well as my laptop. Both try to push the firmware but fails. I'm on 2.12.

Yes, I have running a LG Blu Ray player, the LG BP730. After a week of testing, I must say, the miracast experience is miles away from perfect and if you expect the smoothness of Apple's Airplay mirroring, you'll somewhat disappointed.

Nevertheless, here are some videos of my first experiences.

[YOUTUBE]ZWPVgRY_y9E[/YOUTUBE][YOUTUBE]9s5qBIA6Ydw[/YOUTUBE][YOUTUBE]DkKMr0K9sgY[/YOUTUBE]

As you can see or read in my YT comments, sound stops sometimes for a few seconds. Sometimes the video stream stutters or you have some kind of smeared artifacts. Best experience I have, if I set the clockrate of my N4 to the max. of 1500 MHz and governor to performance.

The cheaper alternative to the BP730 is the LG BP630.

So finally after playing around with the ptv playback is better on the newest firmware. Mirroring is great for pictures and video. Streaming xmbc is hit or miss but I downloaded a custom build of xmbc that uses mx player and I switched the decoder from sw to hw+ and playback is nearly flawless. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Logizomechanophobia:
Thanks for sharing this!

After reading your comments I'd expected worse actually. +points for me are the seemingly fast connecting. My use would mainly be showing pictures/video so that seems to be no issue at all.

The BP730 is about 50€ cheaper than the panasonic alternative so seems a good option for me. On some shops sites it's also quoted to have NFC, can you link it (miracast) by just tapping the NFC-chip? Is it any good at playing Blu ray? :)

The differences with the BP630 are 4K upscaling (no 4K tvs in my range atm anyway), NFC, optical out and possibility to use smartphone remote? or is my info not correct?

Thanks!

I'm currently using slimport and fast charge with a franco kernel which is ok but miracast would be great if it works properly!

Actiontec Screanbeam

Hi all. I've read through all the posts in this thread and a lot of talk has been regarding the Netgear etc. There were some people asking about the Actiontec ScreenBeam, I have had it for just one day so far but can vouch for this. I also have the SlimPort adapter and although this is handy and superior (virtually no lag) in terms of quality, I will probably sell the MyDP (SlimPort) adapter and keep this wireless device.

I have used the Actiontec product with my Nexus 4 to browse through photos and watch a couple of short video clips. I also set it up with my Windows 7 laptop and beamed the video to my TV for a movie. It worked great throughout the 2 hours. The audio was not out of sync (maybe a little but not enough to notice/put you off from watching the movie). The only downside to this for me is ofcourse carrying around a power adapter with the little device. Not a biggie though.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ursubpar:
I got My nexus 4 to work with the built in allshare cast on my samsung TV.

Interestingly enough, it only works when the "Skip HDCP negotiation" option is ticked under wireless display on cyanogenmod.

With the option unticked the phone connects but then the TV exits the screen mirroring without any sort of message.

I have a similar issue when connecting my Samsung Galaxy S3 4G with PTV3000 connected through my receiver. Connecting it directly to my TV works though.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] :
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to give this a try since I have CM on my GS3 and no more all-play.

This should be because your receiver does not support HDMI passthrough. Newer receivers have this support and the easy check is if one of the labeled HDMI ports is "PC". Since PC's require this same type negotiation to determine screen resolutions with your TV/monitor.

I got the second one and my N4 doesn't find it as a Miracast device. Works ok as DLNA. Seller claims it does miracast but the manual doesn't mention it anywhere.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] BigMatza:
Boot time?

I'm surprised I haven't found much in the way of this. Miracast adapters are android- or linux-based, and need time to boot the kernel and start services once they receive power.

What's the typical time period between the time the adapter/dongle receives power, and the time the host device's screen is successfully mirrored to the output device?

Since I'll be installing into my car, boot time is kind-of a deciding factor for me.

-------

Also, does anyone know of a most minimal "dumb" Linux or Android Miracast build that can be installed on a HDMI stick PC? Maybe there's a project underway to engineer such a build? Seems like a great use for an old MK802 you might have lying around the house.

EDIT: Just found this video of a Raspberry Pi being used as such (vis a vis AndroidTransporterPlayer).

Boottime of miracast HDMI Stick

I want to plug the miracast Stick to a portable beamer with HDMI and USB Port. I´m teacher and I have to change classrooms every hour.

Has anyone tried this and can give information about this timespan?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] adit9989:
There are a number of Chinese Miracast dongle available now (aliexpress, ebay, geekbuying). Price ranges $25-50. Be careful, only some of those support Samsung Phones (looks like Samsung requires some extra HDCP checking comparing with all other manufacturers). Look for a dongle which specifies clearly that work with Samsung S3 and S4.Also double check that the dongle supports 1080p (some cheap ones go only 720p). My feeling is that with more phones and tablets with Miracast we will see more models and cheaper soon (I expect around $20 including shipping).

As a note some older models (dongles) only support DLNA not Miracast without some firmware update (which you should not really expect for cheap Chinese models).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yatbond:
Buy the Samsung AllShare Cast Dongle. After the first paring, pretty much automatic afterwards... So, switching classroom is easy. You may want to get an external portable usb battery pack plugged into your dongle to keep it powered rather than looking for a power outlet in the classroom for your usb adpater.

One thing, the latest firmware for the dongle has some problem if you are plugging your dongle into a receiver rather than straight to the TV. So, watch out. If you plugging directly to the TV, then you are fine.

You'd have to check the specs of the phone. Google "-insert phone name here- miracast compatibility", read up on that and that should help.

Would screen standby (root) work with miracast?

Also, my primary purpose for using this functionality is to be able to multitask. I want to be able to wirelessly display video whilst I'm browsing reddit/XDA on my phone/tablet. While using Google Play Movies, I've realized that it is possible to do so, as all that appears on the phone's screen is the controls for the video, and the rest of the video plays on the TV. The only way I could see this potentially working as of now is using an app called "floating browser" but that's obtrusive at best. If anybody could help me out, Is really appreciate it
