Anyone tried to connect their Nexus 5 to a MirrorLink device? Since LG is a member and the Nexus 4 was compatible I was hoping that carried forward for the N5. What about Miracast? I saw the option to share display wirelessly.
The Google Nexus 4 does not support Mirror Link as far as im aware ...don't think the Nexus 5 does either which is a real shame!

Thanks for the reply. I am getting my screen sharing solutions mixed up. Miracast was supported with the N4 and is on the N5 too. It does suck MirrorLink is not supported. Hopefully someone comes up with a solution to pass the touch interface through.

Just wanted to bump this thread to see if anyone has found a solution to getting the Nexus 5 to work with a MirrorLink device. My Google-fu hasn't turned up anything promising unfortunately....

hey guys, I'm looking at buying a few note 10.1s to use with work and I'm really interested in the Mira cast functions that ship with android 4.2. is there an update due that anyone knows from Samsung for the note to 4.2, and if there is will it support Mira cast?
if bolt, how does Samsung's own sharing work? I really want too be able to plush a custom app we have at work upon into I TV/ projectors and clan isn't an option.
thanks,

The Note 10.1 thats supposedly coming to the US will ship with 4.2..

Depending on exactly what you are trying to accomplish, it may already be capable via AllShare Cast. I can show my Note 10.1 screen on multiple note 10.1 devices, I think 8 is the max (I have only had 5 going, no more too add or test), but using AllShare Cast, the other devices would display whatever my screen is displaying. This will also work for newer Samsung TV/Displays, at least natively on their "Smart TV's" from 2012 for certain. Also, their is an AllShare Hub accessory that can be purchased to do the same thing on any TV/monitor/projector with HDMI input. It works with both audio & video & while the hub is a bit expensive for older tv's ($99.00 USD), if you register a Samsung device on the Samsung website, you get a code good for %50 off up to 10 items. I used the code to get the Hub for $49.00, as well as for a Navigation & a Desk dock.
It is great for just about anything except racing or fast action games. There is a small lag, nothing major, almost unnoticeable, unless you are playing a game where a few milliseconds can be the difference between wrecking or making a turn in Asphalt. For everything else though, it is pretty sweet. I use it for my older Plasma in the media room.

Perfect, thanks guys sounds like just what im after! I dont suppose there is a developer kit for allshare cast around? It would be nice to add it to an app im working on without having to move away and set it up first?

All share cast will mirror whatever is going on on your tab, it is like connecting the tab via hdmi to a screen, so if you run your app on note it will show on every connected device

Hello all. Hope you are enjoying your N5s. Yesterday I bought a cheap streaming box ( PANASONIC - DMP-MS10EB-K ) with miracast capabilities. Unfortunately I can not get miracast to work.
There are YouTube videos of the device working with the note3 and s4 as well as nexus 7, but no joy for me and my lovely N5.
Has anyone got miracast working? If so what device are you using?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
At which step is it not working for you?
I'm using a Sony Bravia smart TV and worked right away!
Be sure to enable miracast on your phone though, it's under display settings, "Wireless Display" has to be ON.
It is enabled on phone. My phone does see the Panasonic device and starts connecting. The TV screen shows that it is trying to connect also then after about 30 seconds the Panasonic disappears from the list on the phone and then I get unable to connect.

The Panasonic is still not working so I will get different device. Any suggestions?

I have just bought the DMP-MS10EB-K too and I can't get it to work with my Nexus 5. I get the same problem as you describe.
I have my Nexus 7 (2013) in work and I will test it tomorrow but I have seen videos of it working Nexus 7 to DMP-MS10EB-K.
I will post if it works later.

This thing is Rubbish. I tried a Note 2, Galaxy s3, Surface pro and Surface 2. Non work. It just connects for a couple of seconds then disconnects with no picture at all. Really annoying. Would be nice to get a list on this thread as to which devices do work. If any?

I will get my Nexus 7 and XPS12 which I think has miracast and post the results tomorrow. If I have no luck I think I will be taking it back. Its a shame really as its pretty good at dlna and Netflix. There is a video on YouTube with a guy using it with Samsung phones and a Nexus 7.
Think he might be a reseller of some sort. Did you see his review on Amazon, talk about Over the top its ridiculous. Sounds like he is selling them to me. Besides he doesn't show the device on youtube or how he connected. Very suspect. Let us know how you get on cheers.
Well I suppose it is good to know that it is not just me having problems. What to try next?

Only had time to test for 10 minutes. Nexus 7 2013 connected after a couple of attempts. I could flick the menu's around fine with minimal lag and was impressed. I then tried to play some video and the MS10 froze on two occasions and I had to pull the plug to restart it.
I will play around with the settings and test some other devices tomorrow.

I have tried the Rocketfish Miracast Video Receiver using my Nexus 5. I have no problem connect to my old LG HDTV( no CEC support, cannot change the receiver setting). It mirror the games( Asphalt 8, Sonic Racing, Riptide GP2) I played on Nexus 5 with little lagging. Mainly I want to show pictures and family video of my phone to TV, I found it works fine for me.
Hi, I've also tried with my smart tv LG 42lm620s, but without luck.. I see the TV on N5, when I try to connect to TV, on TV I see the loading bar for the connection, but after some time (~20sec) TV outputs an error of "device not compatible" and TV disappears from N5 list.
I sent an email to LG, still waiting for response....

I bought a Panasonic BluRay player with built in Miracast support yesterday and cannot get it to work with my Nexus 5. They 'try to connect' and then it fails with my N5 freezing every time. Adding to my frustration is the fact that my N5 is completely stock with only root & a custom recovery.
Also, it works perfectly with my stock, unrooted Galaxy S 4 & my Nexus 4 running Slimbean. Short of installing Slimkat, which will eventually happen, does anyone have any ideas for getting this working?

Exactly the same here. Note 2, Nexus 5, Surface 2 Pro, all fall on this device. It seems to disconnect from wireless and then goes AWOL like a banana. Waiting for a response from Panasonic as this is clearly an issue with them, not with the Nexus 5.

Hi friends, I'm really sad about android Kit Kat ?. My Nexus 4, 7, and 10 have all been updated... However they do not have the features Google advertised with the Nexus 5. Examples would be the ability to say "Ok Google" from the homescreen to get to google now. The new immersion mode while playing games, and finally the new transparent soft keys. Why is this the case? It is kind of frustrating that Google wouldn't allow these devices the same features when they are obviously capable... I dont want to have to upgrade from nexus 4 to 5 just yet. Any solutions? Any reasons why google decides this should be the way things go.
Thank You,
Harry

This is important to me. I have a Mercedes Benz CLA45 AMG and am frustrated MirrorLink would never work with my HTC 10. I have read that MirrorLink is really picky on the version being ran on the phone vs what is on the vehicle but it is a PIA to even troubleshoot. Hoping the issue is with connectivity is my current device and am anxious to move to the S8+. That will be one of the first things I test. I'll report back to see if any one updates. I believe TMobile devices may land a day or so early.

I wish my cars had it ('15 pathfinder, '15 corvette and '14 ML350) Wouldn't mind sending the image to my screen.
Had the Galaxy S8 for a few days now and to my surprise, I can confirm that it does have MirrorLink! I bought it thinking it didn't.
My car has a Sony XAV-602BT double-din headunit so I will try this out shortly and report back!
Yeah it does have, here's even screenshot of function
Bad news...
So I tried my Galaxy S8 on my Sony XAX-602BT and MirrorLink does not work
My head unit flickers for a split second as if it's about to work and then nothing. The headunit just says to connect a supported device. I've tried numerous ways of connecting it with different cables, switching the headunit of then connecting and vice versa but same result. The S8 registers as being connected via MirrorLink though.
It's not an issue with the headunit as this works with my two previous phones, my Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z albeit a buggy experience.
I've done some research and it seems to be because MirrorLink 1.1 only letting you use certain apps which have the right certificates.... Problem is, there are hardly any useful MirrorLink certified apps since it's such a niche thing to have!
On my two previous phones MirrorLink would work but it would just mirror whatever is on the screen which was useful when it actually worked... I've always found MirrorLink to be buggy at best: constant disconnects, overheating phone, audio drops, battery not charging, screen freezing etc.
My advice: If you want the S8 or the S8+ then go for it as they are amazing phones. Upgrade your headunit to one that supports Android Auto as that does work reliably and will have much more support than MirrorLink since Google are backing it.
Did anyone try the LG mirrorlink app with S8? I can't get it to work because it recognizes the samsung phone.
It was fine on S7 and it offers full screen mirroring even when driving.
Samsung Galaxy S8 + Suzuki Vitara with Mirrorlink, it does work. You need to have mirrorlink compatible apps installed.

In galaxy app store you have Samsung car mode, check if your car is compatible.

Hi, somebody found the solution ?
I've the same matter. Mirrorlink confirm that my S8 and my car Volkswagen are compatible but I'm not able to link my S8 to my VW !?
Android auto was installed on my cell.
Mirrorlink does not work on rooted devices

No matter now !
Hi,
My matter between my Galaxy S8 and my car with Mirrolink is now ok
I just use another cable....
I don't know why. I know with Apple if you have a cable from another brand, you should have some matter. But with Samsung, I'm very surprise !
Thanks all
Hi guys,
Now I have a new phone, I was questioning if I can install Android TV on my 'old' Nexus 6 phone.
I don't know if this is the right thread to ask, I couldn't find a better one.

I was wondering this myself last night, whether or not there were any Android TV ROMs out there designed for the Nexus 6...Was just thinking of post-daily-driver usage I could still get out of this phone.
Nexus 9 too?
I have the same question but for the Nexus 9.
Yes. ATV is a layer over regular android. But you probably need to create a rom by yourself...
