Hi all,
I didn't know where to post this so i hope i got the thread right.
Just got a new android tv and was wondering how i can connect my android phone and tv, maybe use the phone as a trackpad for the mouse on the tv or similar.
Also how can i stream something from my pc to my Tv, via the ethernet or wifi ?
Hope someone can explain these things as im not really tech savvy.
Thanks

Hi there!
I have a question about Miracast compatibility:
As far as I know Miracast Streaming is software related. So majority of 4.2.2+ phones can stream the display. I wonder if it is possible that all the devices act as recievers too?
What I mean is.. if you have an Android TV Box, can you make it work as Miracast reciever so I could stream my android phone to that Android TV Box?
I am looking at some Android Boxes HERE and I see that only THIS ONE "officialy" supports Miracast (as reciever). Is it really the only one with Miracast capability?
Thank you for your time in advance!
I've searched the forum for an answer with no luck. I posted it in Android Q&A with no luck. Maybe I'll have some luck over here since our Nexus 5 supports Miracast.
Already posted my question HERE.
anyone?

I have a Vizio Co-Star (Coaster?) and it will not support Miracast at all.
Android TV boxes run older versions of Android on hardware that requires separate development from other Android devices. There is little or no Dev support for any of them and Google seems to have pretty much abandoned them. There was a rumor that Google TV boxes would get the Chromecast abilities via software update, but that hasn't happened.
I'd look into those cheap Android HDMI dongles if I were you, instead of Google TV devices.

Forgive me if the question is outright silly...
I am looking for a portable FullHD monitor to use with my Nexus 5. While I do have and use Slimport->HDMI dongle, most portable monitors now provide only USB 3.0 (DisplayLink) interface. Hence the question: is there any chance the two could work together? I realize that Nexus would not be able to provide the power needed, so I would require something in between, like a dock or a powered USB hub, but could it possibly work? Slimport seems to be related to DisplayLink, yet I have not seen any Slimport->DisplayPort adapters.

My Fire stick had been working for the last year, but recently it's been acting up, and whatever HDMI port I put it in it says 'No Signal'. Any ideas on how to get it to work again?

Hey all,
I recently got my hands on a kindle fire HD 3rd gen tablet and wanted to root it because the amazon OS is terrible. unfortunately i could not find any guides on how to root this specific tablet (i tried rooting my first kindle fire but TWRP didn't install correctly and it is now bricked.) I want to be careful rooting the tablet this time around so any suggestions on where to get started would be greatly appreciated! right now i cannot seem to get it recognized by my pc, i am not sure if it is a cable problem in not but it shows up as unknown device in my device manager tab. I am a newcomer to rooting so again any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

If you have any further questions as well as ones regarding the cable then you should post it within the second Q&A thread link for feedback and guidance from a member who has or has knowledge of your specific device.
