Anyone know of a top rated dongle to use for miracasting? I have a Sony tv, but it doesn't have mirascasting capabilities.
which series TV do you have the new W8 and W9 comes with screen mirroring built in.
The top rated "cheapest" dongle is by a company called Measy. check it on Amazon. See it in action here.

I have a 2007 Sony KDS60A3000. It's too old to have any fancy stuff, lol
I use a Roku Stick HDMI that I got free for beta testing. It works well as miracasting/mirroring dongle for my LG Smart TV, which ironically does not have built in Miracast support. The Roku Stick HDMI is I think $35 now, comes with remote and you can even use the Android app as a remote.
Most importantly the Roku supports the 5Ghz band as well which is important as I live in a 2.4Ghz congested neighborhood. Also microwaves and bluetooth can interfere with 2.4Ghz as well. Its well worth the money.

Z3 is in the supported devices list from Chromecast, so yes, it should

Yep Chromecast also works.

One last question about chromecast. I have seen where it can mirror apps and webpages, but what about videos saved on the phone itself, like downloaded movies and home movies/videos taken from the Z3 itself? Target has Chromecast for $22, heading out there after work to pick one up, IF IT CAN MIRROR/SCREEN Z3 personal videos.
Need help with chromecast
So I picked up Chromecast for $22 at Target today. It appears to work, with the exceptin that the screen on my phone is required to stay on. Is there a setting I am missing that allows my phone screen to be turned off, but still watch a video?
Nope. With Root/bootloader unlocking maybe.
I love the Chromecast, but no 5Ghz WiFi, which is bad, I get dropouts from interference from neighbors and espescially my microwave occasionally.
I personally dont have internet at home so I utilize the Belkin Miracast Adapter. Chromecast doesn't seem to work without a wireless router in the home.
Its a little bit pricey but it performs the best in terms of latency and doesn't require a wireless router to perform; all it needs is your phone and your TV. This adapter also has 5ghz support and works well with my Z3.
I had the Roku Streaming stick before I purchased this adapter and the Miracast option is available but it is very laggy and glitchy for me. Most likely since it is still in beta.
Hope this helps
I was a Roku Beta tester recently, its much better now. In Miracast there is always a minor lag though.
Fix to mirrorcasting w/ chromecast
So, I was able to fix the issue with my screen remaining on while mirrorcasting. I was irritated at the beginning because when I used showbox on my phone, the screen would remain on while casting to Chromecast. Also, when casting, you can't use your phone, due to casting.
Here's the fix and work around. Some may have already known this.. I downloaded an app called localcast (allcast works just the same). localcast acts like a server on your phone, so there is no mirroring (and you can turn your screen off and it still runs like a normal app), thus once the video starts, you are free to use your phone like you normally do. I also noticed the skipping of the video was eliminated when I stopped mirrorcasting and started using localcast!
hi,
Can 6P output video over USB-C?
Can generic USB C-type cable to HDMI be used?
Any other specific for 6P adapter can be used for HDMI wired output?
No, I don't need / want chromecast or miracast or etc wi-fi streaming.
thanks.

For the Pixel chromebook.
The 6P supports WiFi Direct, so I would suggest you go that route if at all possible. You may need to get a Miracast dongle for your flat panel display of projector.

I think because it's still USB 2.0 that it can't output via HDMI. On another note don't waste your time with a miracast dongle. I'm pretty sure Google dropped support for that to exclusively use Chromecast. IMHO I feel it's leaps and bounds better than miracast anyway and you can still mirror your phone

HDMI works just fine over USB2, it's MHL or SlimPort that extracts video/audio from phone microUSB port. I don't know details how it works, but that I use for my S3 with MHL adapter to feed HDMI input.
The specs say specifically WiFi Direct, which is what Miracast uses as the transport, so Miracast should work. It works well with my Nexus 7, and the Nexus 4, 5 and 10 work as well. The Motorola Nexus 6 did not support WiFi Direct. If Chromecast supports mirroring to the USB port of a flat panel or projector to display the output of the phone or tablet screen for PowerPoint, AutoCAD, etc, then great. At least in the past, that was not the case.

thats... not how chromecast works. receiving device needs something (chromecast, roku, fire stick) that supports the chromecast protocol (cast method). from there, you can mirror (cast) your device screen or chrome tab.
as far as using a miracast dongle goes, i believe it's the same principle as chromecast. you won't get display through the USB port of your device. the dongle has to connect through some video throughput (usually HDMI). most (if not all) display-only devices do not have the capability to accept display through a USB port.
I don't understand why it doesn't support hdmi output. The s6 doesn't either. I don't want use chromecast because i use my unlimited data plan to stream movies. That's only thing i'm jelly of the iphone right now.

what does having UDP and steaming movies have to do with CC? are you saying you want to steam movies from your phone to your device? there are apps that do this, including ES File Manager. if you're traveling, you'll need two devices to set up the CC to use your hotspot, but short of that, CC should work great for your needs.
everyone has different use case
for me I need that phone output video over HDMI input of my car radio (Appradio)
and I'd like to have it over cable
in my case streaming over wi-fi comes with annoying latency - that's delay between car touchscreen action and video display as reaction
for me it isn't about movie streaming, but GPS and other car related apps

This.
I thought I could live without root and ARUnchained so that Android Pay would work easily, and just get by with screen mirroring without touch interface on the head unit. Since Marshmallow, I haven't rooted and I've just been mirroring my N5 through SlimPort. I don't know that I can get by like this after being so used to full interface. And I imagine that the lag on Chromecast would be highly annoying. I'm quite disappointed there is no HDMI output on 6P, but I'm getting it anyway.

Oops, you are right. I said USB, but meant HDMI. For my Actiontec dongle, you use the USB port to power it, but the HDMI port for the video / audio.
I'll be honest... I see almost no lag Casting my N5 screen of a 1080p Youtube clip to Chromecast 2.
It actually surprised the hell out of me that the quality of the cast was much better than choosing the same video through the YouTube app for Chromecast

I use the 6P via miracast to my AppRadio and the lag is non existant. The Nexus 5 struggled a bit but the 6P doesn't. This is using a Microsoft Wireless adapter.
Assuming you have supported the ARU developer, then join the Alpha group and he has a version that automates the connection process for Miracast / Chromecast. I have also posted in the ARUR thread how to get the screen to dim down to nothing.

Mainly because TV technology has moved on and the technology to stream is in most of those now. Very few phones will support MHL or Slimport going forwards, if any at all within a year.
I would not have bought the Nexus 6P if I'd known that it did not support HDMI out. No doubt about it.
Does the Moto X support HDMI out? I tried the MHL adapter (supported by Samsung) and it does not plug in the micro-USB port. I know I can go the chromecast route, but just curious if there is HDMI out capability? And what adapter has worked for others?
Thanks!
It doesn't appear to support MHL. I connected my adapter with and without using the power port on the side to my MXP and no video comes out.
The adapter does produce video with my S3.

World is full of strange people. Because you do not need to entangle yourself with wires, they (moto) gave us screencast feature, and now people are asking about WIRES again!
TV sets now are coming with Screencast support but if you do not have this feature in TV then read next line....
I am casting (broadcasting) everything (movies, games, android screen, etc) on my 32inch LCD TV, even without wifi router.
I use Pandora S HDMI streaming dongle which does not need WIFI/Router. Direct wireless connection of phone with dongle (attached on HDMI port on tv) http://www.portronics.com/pandora-s-hdmi-streaming-dongle.html
With this device costing only USD27, I can broadcast my Phone, PC, Laptop, etc on TV all wirelessly
I have a Samsung 55 LED that I got about a year ago. I go into the Cast->More Settings, Select my TV, once connected, then tab for Wireless display. I don't have HSI at home, so no Router in between.
This allows me to mirror anything from NetFlix, Sports streaming, Hulu, etc on the big screen.

No. Pandora is for TV connected to TV via HDMI and phone via wifi.
For car, its only Bluetooth solution. Seems you are trying to confuse yourself.

I just got my Moto X Pure Edition, i'm still pretty new to it, but it seems at though there may be a way to get HDMI working. Maybe not, I just thought you guys might find that interesting.

Does anyone know if either Pixel (XL) has Miracast built in? My Nexus 5 (2013) has Miracast and can cast to a wireless display. However, my Nexus 6P can not. I'm looking to finally use just one phone to connect to all my other devices (ie. TV, Spro2, PS4, and Computer monitor). I think it's sad I use my Nexus 5 (2013) just as much if not more than my Nexus 6P, being the newer phone. Hopefully if the Pixel has Miracast, I can have just one phone again. Someone PLEASE help me with your tech-savvy knowledge. :fingers-crossed:
Possible Miracast functionality
I came across this article that mentions a trick that enables Miracast support. I have not received my Pixel yet so I am unable to test. I too am interested to see if this works since I have a pico projector that uses Miracast.

I just went through that hack on my pixel xl adding the line to build.prop did indeed and the ability to check wiFi connect in cast settings and it actually shows that it's detecting the TV and connects but doesn't transfer video or audio hmmmm.
If anyone has successfully done this please let us know
Thanks ZR1
I have now tested this, and it does not work. It works as the last poster described. The "Enable Wireless Display" button does work now and you can pair it with a device. But once you attempt to connect to the paired device it is disconnected. Seems like it's missing some library or something.
I want to keep this thread going as I really need this feature to use in my Truck while in the back cabin. I have a Belkin Miracast Dongle and I like being able to send my movies from my phone to the TV. Help a trucker out! I'm pretty tech savy, and can grab logcats or whatever is required, message me and I'll be happy to test or gather any data for you.
Thanks in advance.
PS. Keep this thread going.
Waiting for a solution to this? I have Miracast in my car and can not cast to it
I really wish this gets resolved soon. I do impromptu powerpoint presentations and other seminars often, and I've been doing those just with my older phones and Miracast-supported TVs or projectors. Now I have to use the Microsoft WiFi Display Adaptor with the Pixel, which is fine except for those times my external monitors don't have HDMI port.
What's interesting is that I can project photos and videos from the Pixel to a Miracast TV without problem, using AllCast. However, I really need to project everything else, not just items from the gallery.

It is an app in the play store. I can cast to my Miracast Sony Bravia HDTV just fine. So, this app apparently does something that the built-in cast function doesn't.
Has anyone figured out how to get this to work? I am rooted, (XL by the way), changed the buildprop and rebooted, everything works fine, it trys to finish the pairing process for screen mirroring but nothing happens with the roku. I can screen mirror perfectly on my LG G3 so I know its not the roku, must be something with the XL. Any help wold be greatly appreciated.
I may be wrong here but my fire TV has mirroring and I searched and searched on mirroring Android phones and I read that after a certain version Google pulled the feature from the newer OTA updates. I've tried downloading apps also and nothin works.
It does but as far as I know it only works for google devices like the Chromecast. I've never been able to get it to mirror to my LG smart TV that has Miracast enabled.

Hello All,
I was wondering if there is any sort of hdmi over type C available on the device or are we locked to casting only.
I have a dex type device that I can plug into via HDMI however i am getting no signal.
I have a feeling it might not be the cable and may be more to do with the device.\
Is there a dongle or something that I can connect to wirelessly that is not explicitly a chrome cast for screen mirroring?
Has anyone had any luck with HDMI out?
HDMI out is not a thing on Pixels in the traditional sense.
The only way I have heard being successful is listed here, with a docking station as mentioned (for the record, that's the only one I know to actually be compatible but I am sure there are others).
