Has anyone had any success with with these features of a Samsung TV connected to a Nexus 4 or 7. If so could you link to a guide as I cannot find any definite solutions.

I'm interesting in making wifi direct work with a Samsung TV, too.
Looking at the specifications they should work, but I can't find any evidence browsing around the web.

Hey everyone!
My Nexus 7 will be here Wednesday (YAY!)
And I just read that the USB port isn't MHL
Without buying the Nexus Q (All I have in the country is my 4g tether) how can I use an external monitor on my new tablet?
I noticed that there are 4 pogo pins on the nexus 7 vs the 3 on the galaxy nexus. Is there video out on these? Also my M18x has something called WI-HD that allows me to wirelessly transmit my monitor signal to a reciever connected to my tv. Is there any way my new tab can do something similar? I suppose I can just use my galaxy nexus for my Play TV shows but I was kind of looking forward to playing games on the big screen.
Thanks!
Bump. any suggestions guys?
There is no cable solution... chances are there will be a software WiFi Direct solution, but not yet.
Thanks for the info.

So I've been playing with my nexus 4 for the past week or so. And I'm pretty good with tech and Android, but for the life of me I cannot seem to get android been to create a Wi-Fi direct connection to transfer files. It just keeps creating a bluetooth connection. It takes a good 30-40 seconds to get a picture sent across, real frustrating... Am I doing something wrong? I've looked around and some sources say jelly bean introduced Wi-Fi direct for android beam while other say no Wi-Fi direct. What is going on?

Android beam uses Bluetooth not WiFi direct. What you might be thinking of is Samsung's S-Beam which does us WiFi direct.
Edit: Jellybean did introduce WiFi direct but not for Android Beam.

Is there any way to use Wi-Fi direct then? Samsung's UI usually allowed a way to transfer files using it, but not sure how to do it now.

Which is what confused me. Because on my note 10.1 one if the options under share is Wi-Fi direct; I've find no such option on my nexus.
And Bluetooth only is quite stupid, anything larger than s contact takes an unnecessarily long time to transfer. I really hope they introduce Wi-Fi direct sharing and beak compatibility for the next version.

You can find WiFi direct in settings -> WiFi -> then the menu dots button (or whatever they call the replacement to the menu button)

There is a great app called Wi-Fi direct. I use this and all the time to move files around between my devices. You create a group and have to accept the invite from your device and bam.. direct WiFi.. device to device.

I have done that. Connected my two Nexi together but I still didn't have an option to share using it.

File Expert Pro is a free file manager app and is able to send files via NFC initiated WiFi Direct transfers. Both phones need File Expert Pro installed.

How fast are Wi-Fi direct speeds, to anyone using them. In my head, I think it's not limited by anything other than the speed of the Wi-Fi chips, so it should be really fast, but I'm not really sure what real speeds would be near.
I never measured I move my whole titanium backup file with 300 apps in less than 10 minutes.. I will try to do a speed test this week. It is fast though..

The beam though is something else. You literally have to almost touch devices and you can only send one thing at Time like a Web page, picture, Google maps page.. Etc.. It is very fast but not for moving large amounts of data

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.

I would like to turn my Nexus 7 into a youtube TV so that I select the video that I want on my laptop and play it on my nexus 7 which is connect via the wifi. Is it possible? The only option that I saw, which was close enough was CheapCast, which is not currently maintained and it need the chromecast app in mobile devices.
I am hoping to turn my nexus 7 into a tv so I can pair it via the youtube in my laptop. Any idea?
Sounds like a good idea... But I have no idea how. If you find out be sure to come back and say how you did it.
