2 threads below yours there's a discussion going on this subject. Maybe ask there?

Yes it works but not very well. You can get the rocketfish miracast dongle at best buy for 30 bucks and it works very good

Wireless display ?

What is the possibility getting wireless mirroring working the the N10?
I know it works well on my N4 with the Netgear PTV3000, I'm wondering what it will take to have the N10 work
Any ideas ?

[Q] Nexus 4 TV Out

Hi guys,
I recently bought a google nexus 4 running android 4.2.1 stock.
I have been trying to connect it to my tv using a HML adapter however when i connect it all up and set the tv to the appropriate setting (HDMI 1)
the screen just remains blank and there is no sound.
I have been unable to find a tv out option anywhere in settings, and i am wondering if it should just work when connected automatically or is there a setting somewhere i have been unable to find?
Thanks for the help!
The nexus 4 does not have a MHL chip in it. You will have to get a miracast wireless display adapter or slimport cable

Roku 3 supports Miracast?!

So I got an email about the new Roku 3. Says to support Miracast.
I'm going to buy the unit as soon as Walmart carries it. (Most likely to use it for a while and return it since I have a wdtv)
Anyone have plans to buy one? Anyone have one yet? Can't wait for something with real Miracast support so we can use it with out Nexus 4's.

Yeah not bad for $99.
I hope you will let us know if you are able to use miracast on it with your phone.
So does it support miracast out of the box? I thought I read it would be a firmware update at a later time.

I use YouTube on my roku through Plex.

Re: Roku 3 supports Miracast
Roku didn’t want to comment about Miracast at the time and didn’t mention the technology in its Roku 3 press material. However, both the Streaming Stick and the new Roku 3 support Wi-Fi Direct, a technology Miracast is based on, so we shouldn’t be too surprised to see both get a Miracast update some time in the near future.

Have you gotten it yet and tried it out?
Miracast
My Roku 3 shows up on the network with a wifi direct id. If I try to connect to it, it prompts for a password. I can not find any setting for this and have no idea what the password is. Doe anyone know what software will be needed on the PC to spport Miracast? I have a Atheros wifi adapter with Miracast support in my laptop.
Hey guys, the roku broadcasts a SSID but it looks like it's used for wifi direct to pair with the remote. I can't seem to find any settings relating to miracast and the unit won't show up when I scan for displays on my Nexus.

I found a neat trick to connect, I noticed the SSID it broadcasts says (WPS available). So I figured they are using WPS to link the remote to the roku. So if you go on the roku, start up remote pairing, and click the WPS button on your phone, it connects.
However no wireless displays show up in the phone settings and I have yet to find a benefit to connecting directly.
Still no Miracast support. Sigh.

Sadly I think this is a classic case of false advertising. I've just finished reading a bunch of pre release press materials and even a video claiming the roku3 was doing mirroring from the PC.... looks like it's all lies.

Looking for IR blaster options

With all these new phones with the IR Blasters built in, I'm a bit jealous.
Is there anything for Android like the blinQ (iphone) that allows us to use our Nexus 4's as a TV remote?
Preferably in the same price range as the blinQ ($9.99-$14.99)
I'm not looking for something like Peel or Beacon. I prefer one I can just plug into the 3.5 mm jack and start up the app to run.
Or even better, any DIY options out there that are compatible with the universal remote apps?

Avoid the Zmart remote
The Zmart remote looks great but unfortunately it doesn't work with hardly any devices despite their claims. I purchased one and it does not work with the Nexus 4 or the Nexus one and looking at te app reviews in the play store I can see I am in the majority as there are very few people at all who have ever got it to work. I can't even try and find friends device it works on because you only get 2 devices licences with the zmart remote and you have buy extra to use it on any others. Avoid it at all costs.

Anyone tried it? How well does it work?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Tried the Zmart remote, did not work at all on Nexus 4. I'm really curious as well if anybody had better luck with the irdroid.
Zmart
I have tried the Zmart, it worked on my old nexus 7, never tried on the 2013 version... Never worked on my nexus 4 and never bothered trying it on my nexus 5.
Zmart... just like it doesn't work with every other phone/tablet, it only works with every other devices you wanna use. TV works ok on every other tv and the cable box / digital antena box doesn't work.
Then you can't even teach the control anything, I've tried different controllers for different TVs etc... does not learn...
I am however very curious about the IRdroid, I will have to purchase one and try it.
anything else comes up please let me know, I WANT!
any news/experiences regarding this?

I tried zmart on my nexus 6 unrooted and was actually surprised to see it work, on 4 different TVs, had to play around with volumes and signal boosters in the app to get it to work, however, the learn-in feature didn't seem to work.

Connect Nexus 4 to TV

Hey guys!
I was wondering if there was any way to connect my phone to my PC. I know about Slimport and Miracast wireless display technology but unfortunately, we don't get slimport adapters here in India and my TV doesn't have miracast support (AFAIK). The TV is a Sony Bravia 32bx350. Is there any way i can mirror my phone on my TV?? Thanks!

You can buy a miracast box or Chromecast.

Chromecast won't mirror your phone. At this point all it will do is stream YouTube, Netflix, and Play content.
I am afraid slim port and miracast are your only options.
