[Q] Android Device as Miracast Reciever

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.

[Completed] [Q] Symbian modding - remove exclusive hold of media hardware

Hi,
First time here. Heard about XDA over the years.
I have a Nokia N8. I haveSymDVR installed, so I use my phone as a dash cam.
Since the N8 has a FM transmitter, I'd also like to use it to play music via the FM transmitter whilst having SymDVR running (camera recording). Now at the moment it doesn't work because I believe when you record, the camera app get an exclusive lock on the 'media hardware'.
I was looking into modding the phone myself seeing that I didn't find any results of existing work of the above, however, the modding posts I've come across no longer has images in the posts.
Is there already a firmware/patch out there, is there a more appropriate crowd of people that I can ask on XDA?
Any help would be appreciated.
TL;DR: Want to be able to play music and record video at the same time on the Nokia N8 - running Symbian. Is there an existing project or modding group of people I can speak to about this?

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately XDA is all about the Android and Windows Phone platforms, but not Symbian, so there isn't really anything we can offer you. I'm sure there are dedicated Symbian modding sites out there that shouldn't be too hard to find.
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply!
I thought XDA had a Symbian section a while back, but when I tried to search yesterday I couldn't find anything.

Samsung s7 vs Nokia 8

Hello,
So i been a nexus 5 user till the phone worked and the screen broke.
worked well for 3-4 years.
Then i shifted to Redmi note 4 [cause i didn't have the budget to get a better phone]
Now im stuck between two phones since these two phones are easy to use in one hand i cant see of any other phones in the same price range
Nokia 8 is costing 29k[450$]
Samsung s7 25k [400$]
I have tried the oneplus 5t it seemed good but i didn't like the camera and its not easy to use in one hand for me. Yes pixel is a great choice but the card i am gonna be using to purchase these two phones isn't supporting the pixel 1 and pixel 2 is out of range.
So basically i am STUCK with these TWO phones only.
My main focus will be manual camera mode
Since both the phones have a decent screen and good battery im ok with that
not much of an audio person.
The problem is nokia 8 seems to be great and i like the camera too but the problem is since its HMD im not sure if the phone will be that durable, i mean the nokia 6 was a nightmare my friend had it and it would overheat and wouldn't function well.
i plan to use my phone for quite sometime 2years and as to nokia, samsung seems to be more reliable.
the problem with samsung is its an old processor [820] vs 835 kinda.
wont the samsung slowdown after a year or so?
Thus im stuck here.
i dont plan on flashing stock roms and stuff.
im just worried about nokias reliability.
Please advice.
