Looking for the best way to connect my g7 power to a Panasonic Viera non smart tv.
I pay for BT sport which works on my phone but trying to get it working on the larger screen, tried various apps and firestick mirroring but non seem to work.
Does anyone know if a cable is available that would work or is it not possible with my set up.
As far as I can find Motorola doesn't include support for video out over USB-C. USB to HDMI cables won't work.
Casting is the only option.

Thanks for replying
Do you think Chromecast would work
I've tried mirroring to the Firestick and although the g7 finds the the Firestick signal it asks for a password, that I've never set up and it's not the wifi password and I can't seem to find much info on it.

Should. Casting per app works better.
Not sure on the Amazon gear, never used one. I'd expect something in it's setup to set/show password. Maybe a few searches for help?
You can purchase a USB 3.0 laptop dock with DisplayLink technology to mirror your device directly to any HDMI enabled device.
I own one, and have been using it extensively for months now.
It is important to keep in mind, you do NOT want a USB C DOCK. A previous poster explained this device doesn't have all the extra circuitry, so you cannot pass a 'protected' stream through the dock. In other words, many apps won't display the video playback on the dock.
BUT!!!! Most, if not all, video services that have a website appear to play just fine mirrored (use the website, not the app!)

The one this thread is about.
Or are you asking about my video out solution? Wavlink cube looking one.
G7 Power does not support Miracast, apparently. Only chromecast.

Google dropped Miracast from Android 6. So an OE has to add it back. Motorola is running nearly stock Android and isn't going to add such.
And as time goes on I expect only Samsung and LG to continue it since they sell TVs. But they may be forced to stop by Google's certification rules.
I think Lineage still includes support so if 3rd party ROM ever show up there may be options.
There are other casting apps that work (most need an app on the display too), but not as smoothly as built in Miracast. I tried a few in my Roku, but they really weren't worth the effort.

I've tried all of these "apps" most are basically a shortcut to the wireless display screen, My Razer 2 was still mirroring perfectly on Pie, but this moto? I've been able to enable the wireless display check box but every time I try to connect to either Fire Sticks/Fire TV, or a brand new NEX series head unit the phone crashes and reboots. I think after enabling the wireless display again its just a problem of screen resolution differences and rotation, looking into it. There are also a couple modules in Magisk to enable it. It crashed and bootlooped my phone and it was a pain getting it back. I do not recommend them with the G7 Power.

I think the original poster could be referring to WiFi Display as in projecting the display of the tablet onto a TV or other video source but not limited to things like Netflix or Youtube. I recently flashed a new rom on my T-Mobile sgll and under display in the settings there is one to turn on WiFi Display. Without a smart TV I can't test out the function to see what it does but I assume this is the function they are talking about. For about 2 weeks I have been searching for a way to mirror my complete tablet display through a wireless means but can't find one. Seems until miracast becomes more widespread Android devices will need to connect with devices through a hdmi cable to get that type of function. That is one function Android loses to Apple with their Airplay or whatever it's called.
Anyone know of a work around or try any of the higher end routers/media boxes that claim to allow this? Even if miracast was used more, the Tf700 doesn't have the 5ghz wifi reception that the universal standards are based on.
I have an LG LM7600 smart TV with the option of widi. But I have never been able to make it work between my 700 and the TV. They connect but that's about all I see happen.
I have seen apps that can help you stream music and video files over wifi, any possible way to view moto g's screen on a bigger screen (a pc or tv), like devices that can do it simply with an hdmi cable? Any possible way? I had an app that could show my phone's display on pc but that was too slow.

Not possible, sorry.Moto G does not support MHL nor native HDMI, therefore no way to do that for the moment.
On the other hand Moto G (on 4.4.2) supports Miracast, get that, works fine (Display -> Cast Screen)

I want my games on a big screen, I know chromecast is just for a few apps, would miracast do the job? Can't there be an app like my screen is played on a big screen over wifi?

Uh, forget Chromecast, it's very limited.
Miracast works via Wi-Fi direct, without any 3rd party soft in between.But paying games over it may prove to be a pain in the bus, cos it has certain delay (anything above 100ms can be felt).
I've seen Asus advertising a Miracast dongle, where they say it can play games with no delay, cos it being dual-band bla bla bla, but I've never seen it in real, so no idea about it really.
Hi,
I cannot get my device to 'discover' a microsoft miracast adaptor I have plugged in my tv. This device supports wi-fi direct, so it should theoretically work!
What I did :
I decided to upgrade my system as it was starting to lag badly, after 2 years of use.. I wanted to upgrade to kitkat at lesat, so I could stream movies to a tv. That feature was quite attractive to me.
I acquired CM11 unofficial from this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2637079
full tablet wipe, (Forgot to backup SMS, argh) and it installed CM11 with kitkat 4.4.4 just fine. No problems that I can see, installed slim Gapps package - just for the play store, nothing else. Gonna install Gmail later.
Then I bought a chromecast, it was quite fiddly - It wouldnt find it on cast screen either, I discovered I needed it to run through a wifi network with a permanent internet connection. After this, it showed up on cast screen. Also, the streaming quality was complete crap - so I returned it and got a microsoft miracast adaptor - which apparently has better quality and doesn't need a wifi router!
I can't figure out how to get it to show up. The cast screen tab cannot find any devices. The adaptor sits in the tv, and it shows '"ready to connect" on there.
Since the tab for cast screen exists on my tablet, the functionality is there, and waiting to be used?
Any help please?
Do I need to do something like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 ?
So, no one has provided any tips yet... I'm going to go return this miracast adaptor before I can't get a refund for it.
But before I do, is there another forum category, or another place on the internet where I may be suggested to try for some troubleshooting advice?
This doesn't make sense to me - as the functionality WORKS, it is supported by the hardware, and the chromecast adaptor actually showed up before
First off, I get it. Chromecast is awesome and Miracast kinda sucks. I know. However, I was searching for an AIO video solution for my minivan that I could control from the 1st row (refuse to use DVDs - 2014 T&C has 1 HDMI port behind the 2nd row). My Chromecast works awesome tethered to my phone's hotspot. Other than for the first time setup, you don't even need a second device. You can cast from the device hosting the hotspot which is slick. Perfect for in-car. But I wanted to be able to cast local content so network reliability does not become and issue when traveling (Netflix, Emby, etc). Enter BubbleUPNP. Bubble will transcode on the fly (on the phone) and cast anything you have to your Chromecast (Chromecast is super limited on codecs). This was perfect for when I was in the car. But I needed a solution for my wife. Unfortunately, due to me holding on to my unlimited data on good 'ole VZW, my wife does not have native tethering enabled (iPhone - not going to JB it either). My idea was to get a deactivated phone (in this case, a Galaxy S5), enable the native hotspot, and use the Chromecast connected to wifi, but offline. Guess what Chromecast can't do...even for local content. Yeah. It needs the internet. So...
So I bought a Microsoft Wireless Adapter for Miracast. It is not too shabby actually. Hate that it mirrors everything (prefer the "cast" then use your phone normally and even turn the screen off), but it is fast and reliable. The problem was, the GS5 wouldn't connect to it (something like "failed to connect to screen mirroring"). Tried on Lollipop and Marshmallow with the same result. I found a build.prop edit that disables HDCP. This allowed it to connect with a minor exception. Netflix would not display its video (from my research, Hulu and others might be affected too). I figured this was due to the device being rooted, so I unrooted the device and re-enabled HDCP, but left everything else the same (unlocked dev bootloader, custom recovery, near-stock rom). Failed to connect. Well crap.
I finally rolled back to completely stock 5.0 (PB1) and tried again. Everything worked (including Netflix). Side-loaded the 6.0.1 update. It still worked. I'm not sure what breaks HDCP compliance, but something in the modification process does it. The good news is that since I don't need the native hotspot or any apps other than media players, I don't need root at all. I disabled all the crapware and done!
Popped in a 128GB microSD and loaded it up. Installed the newest Kodi nightly (to get the new estouchy skin for touchscreen use) and it works amazingly. Everything was named nicely already because of Emby, so once I added the TV shows and movies to libraries, Kodi pulled in all the art and metadata automatically. The only thing I don't like so far is that Kodi won't dim/shut off the phone's display like VLC does when you are mirroring (it's not really off, it just turns black). That's not a dealbreaker though, and it might be a feature that I just haven't found yet, or can add via an add-on.
Anyhow, I have no idea if this will help anyone, but I figured if I could save someone some time and a few headaches, it would be worth a quick write-up.
Note: I do have an MHL 2.0 to HDMI adapter. Mirroring a VZW GS5 with 6.0.1 works perfectly with this setup. I wanted to find a wireless solution to avoid cable clutter and potential damage to the phone's USB port.
HELP!!
Hello, my names Pat and I'm brand new to this forum. Ive searched previous posts and found a few related to my question but none with a working solution so I figured I would make my own post mainly because the others I found were pretty old.
I'm looking for a solution of how to mirror screen the optimum app from either my phone or tablet to my TV(prefer using my tablet) (I do NOT have a smart tv, just a regular basic flat screen tv). I'm looking to do this either wirelessly using miracast(??spelling??), another app, or by purchasing an HDMI cord with an android or type c adapter to hookup my phone or tablet (8inch Samsung galaxy tab E). I've tried multiple times to mirror screen the app but they've blocked it and put a restriction on it and don't allow HDMI out. I guess other apps like this one have also blocked HDMI out but I'm mainly concerned about finding a resolution for the optimum app so I can watch cable tv on my TV without purchasing a new cable box. Thanks!!
