Lumia 1020 Miracast compatibility - Nokia Lumia 1020

Hi all,
I would play local videos and pictures via wifi on my TV and I'm looking for a Miracast device compatible with my Lumia 1020.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanx

What type of TV do you have? Is it with built in wi-f or wi-fi ready?
If it has DLNA in it you can simply use the Lumia Play to app from Microsoft.
Here is an example video:

It's a Samsung ue32c6000, wifi ready...but I've never bought the adapter

It's a Samsung UE32C6000, it'd be wifi ready...I've never bought the adapter

Ok as far as i've been able to find on Google you will probably need these things:
1. USB Wireless LAN Adapter WIS09ABGN - Samsung recommends this for your type of TV (But you must double check it's compatibility again).
2. The settings this guy made into his TV service menu to enable the DLNA/USB option. - You can scroll down to the comments where one guy says that he managed to make this work on his Samsung UE32C6000
At the end if everything went well, you will be able to stream your photos, music and videos through the Microsoft Play to app.
Tell me what you've done.

Thanx cevi,
using this wifi adapter I'd be limited on using my Lumia with my TV, that isn't my purpose...
Indeed, I'd play my video on every TV, that's why I'm wondering if the EzCast (or other Miracast devices) works properly with my Lumia 1020.

Well considering that the ezcast app from the store works on almost every windows phone device i think that you shouldn't have any problem using it on the Lumia 1020.
Check this video from the guys explaining the process.

Seeing the comments below the app in the store i think that you might have problems with streaming with the 1020. Maybe the best would be to try to contact the developers of the app so they can confirm its compatibility with the 1020.

I don't think Lumia 1020 has wireless miracast enabled.

i9003 tv out cable

Hey i have found a cable from ebay for tv out.........
if sum1 have purchased it or going to purchase now plz tell if it realy works.....
so that others can buy too.......
here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/27084460084..._nkw=270844600844&_fvi=1&_rdc=1#ht_2700wt_802
It should be in accessories section
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
Description:
Brand new AV cable

No Driver is required
WTF ???
edit : can they prove that this cable works without any driver ? and kernel support ? how will this work without kernel support ? fishy...
it doesn't deny it. it DOES say "compatible mobile devices". if the i9003 isn't currently compatible, then it won't work, but if it is, it will. that's the way people do things without getting in trouble because they warn you that it only works with COMPATIBLE devices. a clever way to sell things without getting into trouble
so, does the seller actually claim, word for word, that it WILL work on an i9003? if not, then just take anyone's word for it (that knows what they're talking about) when they say tv out doesn't work on our device at this time
"no driver is required" is like my camera. nothing has to be installed for me to view pictures on my tv; it's programmed to work using the rca cable

can u simply tel us that is it real or fake????
dont mind :- 1 tip for u alwayz try to tell simply n with short sentence so that with poor english can understand like me........
I don't know how bad google trans mangles things converting all languages, but try this:
the seller does not claim it works on i9003 unless they say "it works on i9003". I will not buy it just to see if it works when others say it won't without a modified kernel.

it has to do with it!!!!!! see if this cable works than it adds a feature to the rom indirectly through hardware part not the software part.......... it does it the other way round

product description is very clear. They have said that cable helps to show audio & vdo contents on tv. Means if u have mp3, vdo files then only it will show on tv. In real term its not a tv out. Tv out means porting mobile screen as it is on tv.

I tested with car bluetooth (blue5) & I could play video with sound on car screen.
does this bluetooth gadget use the 3.5mm jack? no. will it be helpful so people won't worry so much about tv? YES! do all tv's support bluetooth? NO!
provide a link to the bluetooth device and put it in the marketplace for those that want tv out now, and if they're desperate, they can pay for a bluetooth-supported tv too
for everyone else, a refresher AGAIN is that tv out uses the 3.5mm jack. if only audio is connected ON THE PHONE SIDE of the jack, only audio will be put out, so tv out won't work. I believe it's been said that's how our phone is set up currently.
Are you sure about it ? I'm going to buy one next week , any way I'll feedback
I don't think it's fake, i've read about it in a serious magazine.
These cables are available at your Local Electric shop at a price of 100INR or so.
What these cable to is, port over your MP3 to a sound system.
Or your Video to a TV system.
And, TV-OUT technically means that it should be able to show ANY screen ( Be it games, Apps or homescreen) to you Television set.
And, It needs a kernel which supports it!
One can not just od it without drivers.
If it's so, I would not mind paying a $200
So, This is not Tv-Out, This is only Music & Video out

You can play video with sound.
But, You cant play games which is seen on the TV.
And, I dont think it is worth $5!
You get it for $2 in any Indian Electrical shop.
Obviously, If you use the skills of bargaining wisely

If i were you i would go to a store where you can check and test if it really works before buying it than to buy from the internet and pay more, then realize that its functions are below your expectations.

[Q] Miracast

So I got my shiny new Netgear Push2TV 3000 with Miracast in today, and have been trying to figure out how to make my Galaxy S3 work with it. It's supposed to have Miracast support, but I can't seem to figure out how to enable it. I've tried using the WiFi Direct, and that just tries to send a file to the Push2TV box. I've messed around with the Allshare Play, but can't seem to get anything out of it. Has anybody figured this out yet?
It also doesn't work with my Nexus 7
Need answers too

Been waiting for ages for a easy way to stream screendump regardlesly of device. Got a Galaxy S3 myself. Is the phone implemented with the miracast functinoality out of the box, or does it need an update?
Was thinking of buying the Netgear Pus2TV 3000, but I think there info out there is so wagely and porely defined.
And, can't find the netgear on any internet shopping site either so,,,

I finally found one article online that said the S3 is Certified for Miracast, but will need an update to enable it. Hoping that's the case with the N7 too, since it does have a Tegra 3 proc in it.
I ordered mine at buy.com for $63.
Hey guys,
Any news on this update that is coming?
I also just bought a PTV3000 and Verizon GS3 and am not having any luck so far. My AllShare Cast option in settings isn't even there on the phone yet...
I am hoping Samsung does something soon. It is frustrating to have something so cool be so close, but so far away.
it requires android 4.2 mate rollout december 2012

Mele A1000G Mini PC TV Box

I am considering ordering one of these. Mele A1000G
I've been looking for a true Android solution for a set top box, and this seems like a great option. I don't have cable and will rely on this for all my TV needs. Currently, I have a Boxee Box and a Zeki Media Streaming Box, but I am not happy with the Zeki at all and I think the specs on this box look like a great replacement. The Boxee has worked pretty well for a year or so, but it;s starting to be too buggy for me. If anyone has any thoughts or experience with the Mele A1000G, I'd love to hear it.
Me too

I’ve also experienced the crash to AllWinner splash screen with another AllWinner A31 device (CS868) twice. I could only fix it by re-installing the firmware. I think there’s a problem with the way they currently handle the partitions.

I ended up ordering an MK808B instead. I opted for it because it has so much development support. After about a week with it, I was frustrated with the navigation on Netflix and Hulu. So, I returned it and just hooked up an old Gateway Core 2 Duo to my TV. I got this computer recently for $100 with a widescreen monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers. So, in the end I ended up spending much less money and as much as I thought I wanted the Android box, the PC is working so much better than any other set top box I've ever used. I'm out of the market for anything new now.
if anyone else is still interested in this box. stay tuned mine is on the way from china. i'll update with a mini review
I bought this box after looking at others, the box has good hardware but the software is not optimized for it. The new firmware is still better but still not fully optimized. Mele need to work more on software, a lot of work is needed.

This TV-Box is completely unstable.
During the first hour of use revealed an inherent bugs. Device hangs and reboots spontaneously. Error messages arising that the application is not responding after each mouse click. LAN port does not work. The new firmware 1.2.5 & 1.2.7 does not solve the problem. The seller refused to bear the shipping fee of return which is expensive. The claim has been resolved, and AliExpress has made a full refund to me with no returning goods.

Bought on of these, can't read Chinese so just about.everything on it is being deleted. Honestly the windows 8 front launcher sucks. Download go launcher from google play. Netflix works as does xbmc for media sharing. Would be cool.to.see a new port for another themed rom. Took it.apart and found a spot that looks likes a.sata port connection. Maybe solder a port in the future and see if I can add.som.extra storage.

How about DTS passthrough and 1080p streaming did you tested it?
I wish this box can work as a miracast receiver, maybe in the future. The main guy at Mele said they have received a new sdk from allwinner and that will hopefully help them to get a better firmware

Mine arrived today, so far so good. What is really, I mean really odd:
BubbleUPNP: Not able to browse QNAP dlna directories
MX Player: Not able to fast forward.
Every other trash "media player or dlna browser" no problem.... That's really really odd...
Videos play nice even my 1080p videos. There is a miracast button, but only to send? Didn't tried it.
Most "that´s sad" thing: DTS-Passthrough ;( Don´t know how to get it work or if it will ever work... Any ideas?
If someone wants to let me check something (short video for example) let me know.
My opinion so far: VERY GOOD BOX! Someone wrote other manufactures try to trash the box, I would say right now: It really looks like that...
Edit: DTS-Passthrough seems to work. Receiver switches from analog to digital DTS when playing DTS content. But Im not quit sure because I live atm in a small room so i can´t play on all 7.1 boxes -_-
Edit2: Never XBMC possible (closed source) or someone signs the NDA and makes a custom XBMC if possible? But I dont know. But that would be awesome! But Plex is also VERY VERY nice and works well
Well ok after around two days with this box:
Never a closed source SoC again Samsung S3 is already a pain in the ass.... now this one. Excellent hardware / price / Speed / power consumption. (thats what die design target of the chip was I think) But it gets useless if no v(ideo) app can draw on this power because they dont open up there hardware decoding for videos.... even the onboard video player is not able to fast forward in video from streams.... what a joke... I really sad because on itselfs it looks nice, behaves nice, only one crash with playOn app which might be the app fault, and speed performance etc looks really well. I would rather keep that box instead of waiting for the minix x7 for another two month or so.... ;(
If anyone got a tip how to get fast forward in mx player for example on a 1080p video from upnp stream I would tryi it...
Aaaaand its gone. Even facebook page is closed now... wow ok...

Yeah noticed the Facebook page is gone! That sucks! We should keep this thread going as this looks like the only community that's legible to English users. The Chinese site has a forum but impossible even after chrome translates the pages. What firmware are your devices running. I've stuck to 1.2.5 didn't want to risk an upgrade and break things that are working

I'm still getting some hang time on my device. Btw it looks like a31 source code is available. Even found a Cwm recovery that sort of works, also can u get droidmote to work on your device? Would be awesome if it did
I got my A1000g 2 days ago. It seems to have a lot of potential but has some bugs hopefully Mele will iron out. I noticed the CPU was clocked at 1ghz so I downloaded Set CPU and raised it to 1.2ghz which seems to run stable, any higher and the box crashes. This also seems to help the hangs which happen a lot. Xbmc has some trouble with HD but is fine on SD. Overall its a nice box which I really hope Mele give a lot of support to and updates to.
PS.I'm having trouble with popcorn player. The edge of the player is off the screen so I can't resize it, it seems to be because the Nav Bar is gone. Does anyone know how to fix this or even get the Nav Bar back?

Well I just filled a send back form out. I will send my meleback and get a refund. The no fast forward and back ward problem is no problem for me ( Use bubble upnp for example) but I can't tell my Girlfriend to to exchange her Blackberry for an Android just to get fast forward in a movie. MX Player said that this problem will persist (even inbuilt player doesn't support fast forward)
My box was / is on 1.27, its really a pitty that I cant get to work. It is really really a nice box. ;( (Damn closed source SoC no one wants to support...)

Yeah, as I wrote, nice box, no crashes just one (Might be the app) but I got the second gen with external wi-fi not internal. So the problems you got might be first gen probs.
The problems I listed are the only problems: 720p+ can´t be fast forwarded on streams. Some players don´t play with hardware encoding (Closed source SoC)
It´s almost funny that closed sourced want open sourced software to sell products and don´t want to "update" there software to use closed sourced hw+ accelaration (MX Player for example)

Where did you get a 2nd gen A1000G with an external antenna?? The only A1000G listed at the MeLE site is this:
http://en.mele.cn/products/show/31.htm
I also got the MeLE A1000G and it's a really bad box. Random factory resets, random freezes and in my box the SD slot is misalligned a bit so you have to force the SD card in. On firmware 1.27 I can't find a XBMC that can play a 720p MKV file without crashing - maybe it will work with an external player, I haven't been able to get that to work yet.
I've been in contact with MeLE directly: Some woman named Susan which seemed very helpfull wrote me that she would send me a new firmware to test. I wrote her back with some more info and then she wrote me that a tech named Issac would contact me. This never happend so I wrote Susan again. Now we start all over and she asks the same info I've gave her once.
When the Facebook page still existed (before MeLE deleted it due to complaints from customers) MeLE promissed most of July that a new firmware would be out before August. That never happend. The last we heard from MeLE was that they got a new codebase from Allwinner with the new SDK and that a firmware would be out in (I think) 4 weeks. Personally I doubt that will happen but time will show.
I also tried contacting DealExtreme where I bought this %#&!# box with the problems. They wrote me back that I should take some pictures of the problems and send them to them - how do you take pictures of random freezes and random resets? I guess I'm stuck with this box and just have to be sad that I lost the money. Too bad - and never buy from MeLE again.
I just ordered a different box which seems to have a new upcoming community and some very skilled people making custom ROMS for it, it can't be worse than the MeLE box
MeLE does not control the quality of the output product

Yeah, as I wrote, nice box, no crashes just one (Might be the app) but I got the second gen with external wi-fi not internal. So the problems you got might be first gen probs.
The problems I listed are the only problems: 720p+ can´t be fast forwarded on streams. Some players don´t play with hardware encoding (Closed source SoC)
It´s almost funny that closed sourced want open sourced software to sell products and don´t want to "update" there software to use closed sourced hw+ accelaration (MX Player for example)

Sorry for my lack of English. I'm not English-speaking, as you might guess from my "build of text". I never said that MeLE produces 100% defective devices. But I have no doubt that MeLE does not control the quality of the output! Otherwise the device I would have bought could not pass QC. A1000G does not have adequate cooling. Overheating of the AllWinner A31 chip reached 95C! Compound near the processor darkened by the action of overheating!

MK808B Plus Review - Quadcore & H265 for under $50

Hi all,
I'm love Kodi and am interested in running it on Android devices due to their economical price and low power requirements. I purchased the MK808B Plus from Geekbuying and thought I'd share a review of the device with you. Let me know what you all think.
It's available at hometheatrelife.com/mk808b-plus-review/
It covers benchmarks, physical and user interface reviews and lots of photos. I’ve also posted an unboxing video on my YouTube channel.
I'm pretty impressed with the MK808B Plus with its excellent media support and capability for some light gaming. It's pretty cool to have a quadcore processor and H.265 support for under $50. have a Let me know if there is anything else you would like me to test/other benchmarks below and I'll update the review on my site.
Hi Michael, I´ve been watching your reviews on your blog. I´ve you tried the Fire TV Stick? how is it compared to the MK808B Plus? aside the quality of the hardware...
I've want to get a hold of one at some point so keep posted
They arrived and Christian Troy is doing the hell of a work on it?! He has released FIRST initial CM12 and a fully working CM11!! 30 $ little beast! But.. what a support!

Hi, I currently have a MK808B Plus in the mail from China. I do have a Fire TV Stick and while I cannot directly compare I have read a lot of MK808B reviews and videos and would gladly answer any questions you have about the Fire TV Stick.
I have unfortunately found that Netflix will play only at standard definition on this device.

Also, the Amazon Prime Instant Video app does not seem to function.
Amazon and Netflix over kodi and no problems! On mk808b plus.

Can you tell me what versions of each addon you're using? Perhaps I'm not using the correct/working version.
Thanks!

Netflix HD

When will the HD be enabled for Oneplus 7 and 7 pro ? Because it is so crap right now
It’s already enabled.
Did you unlock the bootloader? If so, you lose Google Widevine L1 DRM (goes to L3), and Netflix is limited to 480p.

Really? and that could be reversed? Like blocking again the bootloader?
Do you not need to pay Netflix extra for the best resolution ?
I got the cheap plan.
I bought the phone few days ago from carrier, untouched, unrooted, and I have the HD Netflix subscription. My Friend bought the p30 pro and she has the same exact problem. Maybe it's rolling out slower depending the country ? (I'm from France)
[Edit] oh quality is just fine now ! Sorry for bothering you all !

Basic plan is only SD.
Standard plan is HD.
Premium has HD and UHD, but mobile only supports HD at a maximum.
This is according to the following website: https://www.digitaltrends.com/movies/netflix-cost-pricing-plan-breakdown/

There is a thread started, asking that question. But it doesn't look like anyone has answered that specifically.

Maybe just a hiccup with your WiFi or cell data connection? Netflix will lower the resolution accordingly to data speed.
I've had hdr Netflix on mine since launch. U.S. here and have premium subscription.
Relocking your bootloader will revert you back to DRM security level L1 from L3. Netflix also certifies mobile devices and the HD for mobile islimited to 720p and not 1080p. You will only get Full HD and UHD on TVs and PCs
On this size screen, 720p should be more then fine.

Yep it's still not 1080p. That article is misinformed. Netflix locks mobile to 720p. I read it somewhere that linked that info from Netflix, now, I can't remember where. The point is you likely won't tell the difference on this side screen anyway. It's why there is mobile, PC and TV versions of the Netflix app

"We spoke to a representative from Netflix about this and were told that resolution varies based on encoding, with some titles in certain encodings not available at higher resolutions (specifically, this pertains to VP9 encoded content). The performance of such videos is not representative of the rest of Netflix's catalog or capabilities, which offers up to 1080p on capable devices, including the OnePlus 7 Pro."
I must have bad eyes. I'm looking at my rooted 6T and this stream looks full HD to me.
