It seems at this point you won't be able to mirror your device without some additional hardware/software combo. Google wants you to start a google hardware family, which isn't out of the question if the price of the Q comes down some and there's some functionality that makes it worth it.
As it is now though everything I have with a screen talks to everything else with a screen but its still a bit haphazard to serve media in any different direction.
Hope this makes sense lol!

Luckily my lg smart tv has dnla so can stream from macbook / nexus over WiFi to tv.

I only used my nexus 7 for like 2 days because I returned it due to battery problem and I didn't have enough time to check to stream to my smart TV (DNLA). My phone can stream to my smart TV (DNLA). I'm waiting for nexus 7 to be in stock again. In the mean time, how did you get your nexus 7 to stream to your smart TV?

How did you get your phone to stream to your smart TV over dnla? The only way I can see if using the All Share app, but that doesn't mirror the screen, basically I want to push my games on to the big screen if possible...

You can use either of these (available in play store) if your TV supports DLNA connection.

But isn't this the same as using Allshare (on the samsung s2)?
I am mainly looking to mirror the screen so I can play games etc on the big screen.

To do what you are saying requires a Mobile High Definition link ~ aka an MHL connection which in turn goes to the HDMI port on a TV. Earlier cables (Samsung Galaxy S) could connect to a VGA port on a TV.
Unfortunately the Nexus does not come with any MHL capability otherwise we would by now be hearing of an MHL cable that you attach to the power socket (as is done on Samsung devices).
DNLA only links media files, as in Music, Photo's and Video. For that you need dedicated software to stream which has already been mentioned above.

Isn't possible any app to catch on a Google TV device and vice versa kind sling box for androids devices?

Android is lacking here big time, apple has airplay through apple tv to show the screen on the tv and play games etc throught it, all wirelessly.
Android needs this... and fast!

VNC client and server apps exist, so if you want to display your screen on an android enabled TV you should be able to do it with VNC?

Its a WIFI enabled Smart TV I have... can use all share on s2 to share videos and music to it, but cannot mirror your screen, its something they need to resolve soon.

What can I do if my TV doesnt have DNLA, and the N7 doesnt support MHL.
Is there any other way? USB to VGA cable?

It's nothing to do with Android it's ASUS and Google who are lacking.....
You have the S2 and that can link direct to your TV using as you say Allshare and for anything else you would use an MHL adapter as the S2 has MHL built in.
If the Nexus had an Allshare alternative built in and DLNA support you would be able to show media files on your TV..... and again if the Nexus had MHL built in you would then be able to use an MHL adapter and mirror your Nexus screen with your TV.

I'm not talking about the nexus in particular I mean android as a whole needs some kind of solution or they are going to fall behind. Our should I say they'll never catch up on that regard. Can you point me to am mhl adapter to check out out

The only way Android would have it as a whole is if Google demanded all manufacturers ensured the MHL hardware specification be built within their devices and that simply is not going to happen.
MHL is not a prerequisite of Android it's an added extra that runs totally independent. Yes the iDevice has it which makes it sound like Android is lacking but the iDevice is just one manufacturer. Just as Samsung is a manufacturer and yes they have MHL built in their devices, so it would be wrong to compare Apple to Google in this shortcoming.
As to pointing you to an MHL adapter, you can find these easily in either ebay or Google. The trouble is though if you intend to use it with the Nexus 7 you will be wasting you money. As I have already said, the Nexus 7 does not have MHL capability so it would not be able to read an MHL adapter.

nexus 7 is miracast certified, and that's rolling out this fall. patience is a virtue... and/or a software update. -Ara

Sorry to double-post, but while we're on the subject, is it that we lack hardware to get mhl working or we need to program support into the existing setup and we could achieve mhl with a custom ROM. I can mhl off my phone (I think). -Ara

Unlike the lack of USB OTG (On-The-go) which is a simple software limitation (as rooting then using Stickmount allows complete access) MHL is different as it is a hardware limitation. Google obviously left this out (as they did with other ports such as MicroSD) to keep the costs down.

Making Streamer Out of Nexus 10 (Via HDMI Cable), Will it be Worth it?

Hello to all people,
I've been reading quite a lot lately about (android) tablets because I want to buy one at last.
I managed to shrink my options to 2: Nexus 10 and Asus Transformer Pad Infinity.
After hard digging about the Infinity in the forums I decided to drop it and go with Nexus 10.
One of the reasons I want a tablet is to make a streamer on the go from it...
I want to connect it to my TV with a HDMI cable to stream some movies.
But from tons of the reviews I read, I only noticed one review mentioning the quality and stability of the streaming. And It wasn't positive.
So I am asking you guys (and girls), what's your experiences on using the tablet this way?
Sorry for my poor English, its not my native language.
Thank you in advance for your answers,
Leon.

HDMI streaming works good. The picture quality is great; however, I do not get any audio through HDMI. This might be a cable issue. Not a big deal since you can output audio through the audio jack.

Thanks for the answer you 2.
Although there is many threads on some issue when streaming via HDMI, like no sound and black stripes on the sides and flickering I was reading....
makes me kinda worry...

Can you make full-screen the tv with no black spaces in the sides? i hate that

Works great on the N10. Don't buy an Asus tablet though. Their software is laggy and buggy as hell, and they don't support their devices. I had a TF201 and it was absolutely nothing but headaches. Stay away from Asus. You've been warned.

Well that's why I said I am choosing Nexus 10 over the Asus one... You are not the only one who suffered, and I read most of the complains people wrote.
I have other question though.
Since I lack the experience on the issue:
How does optical audio cable can be used with an HDMI cable to stream audio from the first and video from the second?
Asking because I have a receiver connected to my 5.1 audio set.

Does work, but mine struggles with higher bitrate 1080p movies over wifi.
There are bars but these may be able to be removed if you get rid of the 3 quick buttons at the bottom, not sure if this is possible with custom software.
Not quite sure what you mean by this comment:

Couldn't agree more. I tried out a TF700 from Amazon for a month, and during that period I had to exchange once from Amazon for a defect in the screen, then send the replacement in for warranty repair because of the same problem. Got it back from warranty 'repair' and it had the same problem in a different location of the screen. Returned them both to Amazon and bought a Nexus 10 from the Play store on launch day.
Couldn't be happier.
I was also amused that the rep claimed they had no prior reports of the screen/bezel problem, when the TF700 threads on here are filled with posts about it. And of course, if you've unlocked your bootloader (using the tool they provide) you have absolved them of any responsibility to repair manufacturing defects that passed through 'quality control' at their factory.

Yes, I'd like to know that also. My previous tablet was a BB PlayBook and it had controls for when you were connected to HDMI that let you control the output resolution, whether audio was passed through etc.. Is there anything like this in Android?

Tried it but doesn't work with my rooted Nexus 10. The screen flashes and stays on instead of turning off.

I connected the Nexus 10 to my TV:
- stereo audio is ok
- bad picture quality (its resizing)
- big black borders at the left and right side
- wrong frame rate on TV - movies look very bad
for me its a no go. Its absolutely not worth it.

I think it certainly must be possible as toslink is digital audio and hdmi outputs digital audio as well. I don't think any conversion would be needed so all you need is someone who makes the cables and takes the audio pinouts from the hdmi and routes them to a toslink cable as well. Unfortunately there isn't exactly a massive demand for such a cable so either find someone who makes the cables or maybe trawl the hi-fi websites to see if anywhere would sell them.

Broken Slimport Adapter??

Hi all
I bought one of these from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Slimport-HDMI-adapter-Connect-projector/dp/B009UZBLSG/ref=cm_rdp_product however when I try to use it nothing happens
just wondering if anyone else has one of these, does the screen rotate to Landscape when you put just the adapter in (Not connected to a HDMI cable?)
I have tried it on a TV that has HDMI and as a long shot i tried it on my HDMI->DVI lead that connects my monitor to my PC - No go in both cases
Not sure at this stage if the adapter is broken, or my Phone isnt working.

No problem here. The screen doesn't rotate until the HDMI end is plugged in the TV.

How much are these selling for?

Tried it on 4 TVs now with lots of different HDMI cables and it doesnt seem to work, so that leaves either a faulty adapter or faulty Nexus 4!
(I am right in thinking its just plug and play, i dont need to enable anything on my N4?)

Correct. In my case it only rotates when I plug in the HDMI cable and it works beautifully. No issues whatsoever. I hope it's the adapter and not your phone!

I have one from the same source and it works like a charm via an 83p HDMI cable (similar source) to all 3 TV sets I've tried it with.

I bought one from Amazon here in the US, via http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009UZBLSG/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
got it Christmas eve, plugged into TV1 didn't work, thought it was my HDMI cable, tried it with TV2, worked right away. went back to TV1, didn't work, went back to TV2, didn't work. Reboot, didn't work, fiddled with the cable, worked for a few minutes, then stopped working.
Everytime I want to watch something, I spend about 15-20 minutes jiggling the adapter, unplugging, replugging the adapter to get it working again. 2 nights ago, I watched a movie, it worked, every minute or so it would give me a snow screen for half a second. Last night tried to watch another movie, spend 30 minutes with it, won't come on.
A friend has a N4 as well, going to go to his house tonight to see is it the adapter or my phone
edit: I went to my friend's home and tested it using his Xbox360 HDMI connection, neither his phone or my phone would display video, his TV simply said "no signal" I am sending it back to Amazon, and getting a full refund. Probably going to just grab a PTV3000 instead

It has to be Miracast compliant to work with the Nexus 4. That Belkin thing will NOT work with the N4. The Belkin is WiDi not Miracast.
The only wireless adapters on the market currently that are tested and known to work (with beta software) are:
Netgear Push2TV PTV3000

Both can be found on Amazon. The Netgear can also be found in some Best Buy stores.

Possible solution to HDMI Out?

Hi all,
Whilst chilling with a friend he showed me a new gadget he'd purchased.
It was a wireless HDMI solution that used USB.
The USB stick, broadcasted the HDMI to a reciever, which in-turn sat by the TV with an ACTUAL HDMI cable plugged into the TV.
My first though was, would this work for my nexus? Putting the USB into the OTG cable?
I thought the only issue maybe drivers?
The device:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Q-Waves-Wireless-USB-HDMI-Extender/dp/B002RL9F38
Fair expensive on Amazon, but my friend picked one up at £40.
Is this a viable solution?

Delete please.

At best it would be usable for slideshows / presentations.
From my understanding there is insufficient bandwidth via USB2 to smoothly stream video at anything other than very low resolution.

Yeah, I may just take my Nexus up to the friends, get it all connected and see what happens.
Would any1 be interested in me testing it?

USB 2.0 is plenty fast enough for a compressed 1080p HD video stream. It is plenty fast for several of them simultaneously, frankly.
I suspect that the device uses a windows driver plus a PC application program... neither of which the N7 will have.

Then try it and let us know. I highly doubt it would work though. If video signals can be sent over the micro USB port, then ASUS would've just said the N7 supports MHL. Since MHL isn't supported, I doubt the video signals can be sent over the wire.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

Dunno about this device, but I think USB s simply not fast enough for quality video. I had a Lenovo notebook with USB "docking" which was attached through USB. Along with external keyboard and mouse it also transfered video to external monitor. And there was visible difference then when using normal VGA/DVI. It kinda worked, but was annoying because it had problems with speed. So because of that experience I think USB is not viable solution for video. And I'm talking about displaying normal DESKTOP not video! With video it must be even worse.

Hey I don't know if it would work or not but I'm very interested in you testing it.

Then try it and let us know. I highly doubt it would work though. If video signals can be sent over the micro USB port, then ASUS would've just said the N7 supports MHL. Since MHL isn't supported, I doubt the video signals can be sent over the wire.

It's a USB device. If it has driver support, it'll work. There are USB 'video cards' that support "HD" resolutions. The trick is device support.

Just a spit-ball idea....what I use to stream content...the HTC media link works pretty well as a media streamer when it's plugged into your TV

Ima try this out and let you all know next time I'm around there I'll take my nexus !

Wireless Display TV's (UK)

We are thinking of buying a TV around a 40" and wanted to know if there are wireless display TV's that are compatible with the Nexus 4. My bro has a 32" LG TV that works but its smaller than what we want.
Any recommendations are appreciated. (UK only)

Stick with the LGs for wireless display & Miricast with the N4. Argos and Currys were both doing decent deals recently.
The 42ln575v @ Argos/Currys for 370 or the 42ln578v for 399 at Currys are decently priced
The LG remote app in the play store is pretty good and some models come with nfc tags to launch the remote etc.
I picked up a similar one, a little better panel than the above one and am really pleased so far and the NowTV passes for Sky movies and sports will come in handy too. I'd recommend it, but the price has gone back up on it....

Currys has the 39ln575v for 30 quid more (£399) than the 42"!
For the price, I didn't think there was much better value to be found than these particular 42" models.

So any TV that says built in wifi, will that do the job or is it LG technology?
edit: This it? http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/lg/39ln575v/lg-39ln575v £40 cheaper

To be honest, I don't know.
Some other TVs may play nicely with Miracast on the N4. Some may not have used the standard to the letter or may have done a custom implementation of wireless display and may not work properly.
If you find a model you prefer I'd either test it in the shop or google "nexus 4 +TVmodel wireless display" at least.
Let me say that it was one of my considerations in getting an LG but even if it didn't work I still would have gotten the TV I did. The LG is a nice tv.

I have never had a problem with LG t.v,s and personally recommend them also , have used both mirror cast via wifi and slimport both without any problems.
That also goes for Toshiba.
One company I have read a lot of problems with is Samsung , all be it I bet the sg3 /sg4 work fine with them.
So I guess you known were I am coming from LG nexus 4 = LG T.V. Samsung t.v = s4 / s3. Just my thoughts and not exact science.

@jmcgraw those LG's are pretty much sold out and prices gone up where available. I tried a Sony tv and noticed there is a like a 1 second lag. Is there any lag with your LG?

Yeah, it seems up to a second occasionally as well.
I think it's fine most of the time, but if I was playing a lot of games I'd probably want to use a slimport adapter instead.

Do you think its worth getting a ptv3000 instead? That way I can get a cheaper tv?

I don't know. If you already had a tv you were happy with otherwise then sure, the ptv is a reasonable addition.
If you find a great deal on a cheaper/nonsmart tv then it would be a good alternative as well, but if you're only going to be saving £20 to £30 I'm not sure it would be worth it.
Have you considered a slimport adaper or a chromecast?

Slimport is wired right? And the chromecast can't mirror everything can it like all apps, games and videos

Sadly not. Its very very limited. Before I was able to play my offline music on tv but Google decided to block that feature with an update . Only plays music purchased from Google music.
The YouTube updates made it worst. I connect it to my Tv; play one video. All going well. But if my Nexus 4 screen goes to sleep it stops working. If I want play next video; I have to reconnect it to my TV.
Oh and after switching my router security to wpa2; chromecast cannot be detected anymore. I searched online and it's not only me. Now, It's just sitting on my computer table collecting dust.

Slimport is wired yes and plays/shows everything on the screen as long as the screen is on.
Mirrorcast and chromecast both rely on wifi.
Tried both and personally prefer slimport its dam cooool.
Games are hard to play thought as you need sometimes to look at the phone to hit the buttons e.t.c which means you're not concentrating on the T.V.
If you get one of them game controllers you should be o.k.
It would need to be a Bluetooth one or one that doesn't connect to the micro USB out socket as you need that for the slimport.
Sorry I no nothing about controllers as I have never used one.
