[Q] Preferred Wireless Display Adapter?

I recently upgraded my Nexus 7 and saw this in the "What's New" section:
Share what’s on your phone on the big screen.
Android 4.2 allows devices to enable wireless display. You can share movies, YouTube videos, and anything that’s on your screen on an HDTV. Just connect a wireless display adapter to any HDMI-enabled TV to mirror what’s on your screen quickly and easily.

I immediately went to Amazon and looked for different "wireless display adapters" per the announcement above, but I'm totally in the dark to which are going to be compatible with the Nexus 7. Does anyone have a recommendation?
Also, will I be able to connect to my Wi-Fi and still have an internet connection? I'm assuming I will be able to and it's more like they're all networked together (Computer, Display Adapter, Nexus 7, etc.), correct?
Lastly, I don't believe I noticed a new app on my phone to facilitate the connection once the Wireless Display Adapter is purchased and connected; am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for all of your help, you guys are the best!

Thanks for the direction. Checked that thread out and found that Miracast is not compatible with N7, but is there any other hardware/software that would be?
For example:

The N7 currently does not support Miracast, and there is doubt it ever can since it does not support 802.11a.

ya gotta love it

I have scoured the internet for days and days trying to find the solution to not having hdmi capability and hopefully I'm on the right path. The wireless way sounds like it will be the only possibility so I was reading an article on engadget . Unfortunately I'm unable to post a link to it on here. But if you search nexus 7 WiFi media you will find the article I am referring to.
Any of you more intelligent people have any comments, sounds like a 100 dollar solution. Thanks

That's not screen mirroring. It's just DLNA/UPNP. And there are better and cheaper solutions. First look if your TV already supports DLNA/UPNP. If not, get yourself a raspberry pi and install raspbmc, openelec or any other distro that gives you XBMC. Then just enable it in the XBMC settings and get yourself a xbmc remote and a UPNP/DLNA app like bubbleupnp. That way you can even watch nearly any media you want on your big screen including avi(enable unsupportet mime types in bubbleupnp settings) and youtube videos(in the youtube app just press share and then share it via your xbmc remote).
But it is still no screen mirroring like miracast. I still have hope for miracast on the n7, since MIRACAST DOES NOT NEED 802.11a it is only optional for better performance in some situations.
And if that doesn't work, there is always the amazing open source community. Android Transporter just needs to be implemented into Cyanogenmod and given sound support and we don't need to wait for the big players to implement miracast on our n7.

Look at what asus has to say.

I have one of these - Samsung Wi-Fi Display Hub for Galaxy S2/S3/S4/Note 2 - Black . Works well but I did find you need "Official" statuses in both bootloader and settings to work with my Note 10.1. Haven't tried with my S4... This is for total screen mirrorring. It shows everything I do on my tablet on screen...
The DLNA sharing is only for movies, music and pictures...
I have a Samsung TV and the DLNA works well...
My advice, look at the reviews and buy the cheapest if the TV you have doesn't support DLNA... I'd check that 1st...

My tv supports DLNA but I'm only interested on screen mirroring.
So that means even if I but the hub it won't work for me because I using omega rom?

Probably not though I have read in the note 10.1 forum of it working. Not to my experience however. I use a rooted stock rom on my SG Note 10.1 I have flashed using Mobile ODIN. I run triangle away 1st and get all Status's "Official" with 0 flash count but when I tried flashing other roms it went ass up... You might be able to try the workaround on triangle away but that requires the paid app...

Thanks. I can buy the app, that's no problem.
So all I need to get for screen mirroring is the hub not the dongle right?

Yep, the hub mirrors everything but the dongle actually says its a DLNA dongle...

Purchase the allshare dongle, plug in to available hdmi slot, turn on your screen mirroring on your phone, dongle should be recognized...If you get error msg that cannot connect or find the dongle, make sure you have the latest firmware update for the allshare dongle

Hello everyone,
I apologize in advance if it was asked before.
I have a 47LM6400 smart tv from LG with screen share function.
When I enable if and screen mirroring on S4, it finds my phone, but the phone does not find the tv.

Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

On the remote press on setting and find mira cast or something along the lines, You just have to enable it.
If you still can't find it, I will take pictures and show it to you

Thanks for the reply. My TV has no Miracast support, it says it will use wifi direct, widi, etc...
Tried with my sister's Samsung TV and got the same behavior: the tv finds the phone, but the phone can't find the tv.

Well... after some time spent on the phone, it seems that only LG Smart TV's w/ Miracast support (which is not my case) can do wifi screen share. The functionality of mine is restrict to it using Intel's WiDi. Damn.

Screen cast lollipop

Hello,
A bought a new LG tv with wifi direct. I can't cast my phone screen to the TV. It worked flawlessly on kitkat, so i guess google took away the feature, to force us to use their stupid chromecast thing (why the hell would i want that if i have a wifi enabled tv??). Is there a way to do it in lollipop? I must say that i'm very disappointed in google. They keep removing useful features.

In the pull down menu in Lollipop it is called "Cast Screen". Works with my Fire TV.

I have a LG TV with wifi direct. Many devices work flawlessly with miracast including the nexus 4. Only one was unable to which was windows lumia 625. Might be problem with the phone itself.
btw Are you using any old ported rom? You need to have new binaries for wireless display to work flawlessly

Mirror Axon 7 screen to TV

Hi All,
I've tried looking for a solution and a similar thread but maybe I missed it. I'm trying to mirror my phone's image to my TV anyway possible so when my parents(or whomever) wants to video chat with my 15 monthold daughter, we can have a bigger screen instead of my phone (which she trys to grab and press buttons). I use WeChat and FB messenger for video chats .
- I've thought about buying the chromecast device but not sure if that will mirror the phone screen.
- I've thought about buying a HDMI cable that has a USB-C to plug into the phone but also not sure if that'll work bc someone said its not MHL compatible (not sure what that means).
- Also looked into screen mirroring apps but it can't find my smart TV (westinghouse) even though its on the same network. I think its the TV but I could be wrong.
Any solution is appreciated. I just want it to work.
Thanks

Chromecast will mirror the display...
Other sticks like fire TV stick also...
HDMI output isn't realized for axon 7 I think, searched Google for it long time and didn't find a working guide...

Also try built in function. When you have smart TV connected to the same Wi-Fi look in display settings.

I can confirm that my axon 7 mirrors to my roku 3 and my firestick

@scratchstick,, A2017G has no this function yet, so you may try Chromecast or fire TV stick.

I can use Miracast to Fire TV and the Microsoft Miracast stick via MrMD69 screenshot. Just wish they have a cast button on the slide down. Also, I noticed that casting on the Axon 7 is quite poor compared to my other phones (Zenfone 3 and CM1), often with blocks and freezing video.
