Does the nexus 10 have miracast support? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I'm looking into getting a miracast dongle for my tv. I tried searching but have been reading mixed things.
Does the nexus 10 support miracast?

Yes,
"Settings"->"Display"->"Wireless display".
But try to make sure that the dongle you buy is fully working with the nexus 10 (search and ask and search and ask........).

Miracast on the Nexus 7?

In articles released today, Nvidia said the Tegra 3 chipset will support miracast (an open streaming tech similar to DLNA) for mirroing/streaming to other devices/ monitors. Will the Nexus support this and would this be their workaround for forgoing the MHL/HDMI? Or would it only be on future models? -Ara

I'm very curious about this too.
I've looked into this briefly and from what I gather, any device that supports WIFI direct should be able to do this. I think I read somewhere that the N7 has wifi direct. Miracast is only a standard. There are other non-standard devices out there that can also do the same thing, but requires changes to the core android files.
Search for xbounds on youtube and the internet. You will see some demos of it. it requires an hdmi dongle that has wifi on it that communicates with your device.
In any event, if the N7 doesn't support miracast, it will support xbounds via a custom ROM (if and when somebody decides to build a custom ROM with xbounds integrated). Then all that is required is the xbounds dongle. Unfortunately, there is not much information on xbounds and when it will be released.
What would I need to purchase to get this working?
Hopefully, we don't need to buy stuff, we just need to update our devices when miracast comes down. There's a list of compatible devices on the Wi-Fi Alliance website. -Ara
EDIT: here's a link to the tegra explanation of miracast, taken from an article on the issue. Yeah, a dangle may be involved depending on the setup. http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/tegra_white_papers/tegra-miracast-whitepaper-final.pdf

I've not found any hardware that you could plug into say an HTML Monitor that will work with this yet. I do think it will be coming available soon though.
hope so
I reckon it will work with a Nexus 7. Hopefully the dongle isn't too expensive and my Nexus 7 will be my new PSone.
Shouldn't need a dongle. Maybe a Raspberry Pi but everyone should have one of those anyway Search "Android Transporter" for more info.

Nexus Q might get Miracast support
Nexus 7 and most Tegra 3 (also Galaxy S3) phones/tablets can get a fw upgrade to enable miracast (most that support WIFI Direct probably can have Miracast enabled).
Now that google is having another round of tinkering on the Nexus Q before release we might end up with Miracast support in it as well.
Personaly I think Miracast will be added out of the box and maybee even Google TV.
I only hope that it won't be possible to disable mirroring from inside an app using the API, if so I'm sure some streaming services will disable mirroring of the screen while using there apps lika HBO Go have done to Airplay

Using a Raspberry Pi would be like a dongle... I'd like to get my hands on one to play, currently, there is a 12 week delivery time on those as well and you most likely would want it in some sort of case for it as well.
While most likely a solution, not a real clean one for mass marketing. That will come though.

Hopefully it does include support, but that is still a bit pricey and also not very portable.
Think of something you put in your briefcase, take out for a meeting, plug into the HDMI port of whatever display is in the room and play. So it needs to be portable, reasonably priced and easy to use out of the box without a lot of fiddling with it.
widi and Miracast adapters
I am thinking that these will do what we need on the display side. Now to enable it on the Nexus 7.

Has anyone heard any updated news on miracast? I tried Google but all I found was old news. I'm really tired of waiting.

[Q] Anybody experience with Miracast/Nexus 10/Android 4.2?

Hey guys,
has anybody experience with Miracast on the Nexus 10 or Android 4.2? I'm going to get an Adapter for my TV and I'm not sure how that works... haven't found any Miracast-related options in the settings app, and I don't know how the whole stuff with wifi is working (is the bandwidth of wifi high enough for that high resolution? How will the Nexus scale its 2650px down to the 1920 of my TV? ...).
Thanks
Currently nexus 10 is not miracast capable. Many people think it will be later, but since there might be bus bandwith issues i dont think it will.

Practical testing: Miracast with Nexus 10
There was quite of bit of discussion/speculation back on Nov-Dec on whether, how, and when Nexus 10 would support Miracast. I recently did some testing to support an app I'm developing, and wanted to: give an update on practical test results, and see if anyone has any further information (since none is forthcoming from google so far).
I tested Miracast links using Netgear's PTV3000 (Push2TV):
Samsung S3 - WORKS, after an upgrade to their latest PTV3000 firmware (v.2.2.9)
Google Nexus 10 - Does not work.
Google Galaxy Nexus - Does not work.
This is consistent with a recent posting on AndroidCentral ("Netgear PTV3000 gets a firmware update, now officially supports host of Android devices"). I'm interested in running on as many devices as possible, including the Nexus tablets and phones, but still can't find any information on plans and timing for Nexus 10, for example.
Anyone?

When Miracast

I wants connect my nexus 7 to tv.Gaming,videos etc.
When mircast will be released?
It won't work with our nexus 7. There's other threads about Miracast if you want more info.

Wireless display / miracast receiver

Hi,
while configuring my Nexus 4 I noticed the "Wireless Display" possibility and did a little research.
Are there already receivers to buy?
BTW: Does the nexus Q support this and can act as a receiver? I want to buy one anyways when it becomes available.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4
Hello, as far as I know there are currently no receivers that can connect to the Nexus 4.
A lot of these devices that are out there (such as ones that support Intel's WiDi) can have their firmware upgraded and may eventually support the Nexus 4. After an update, my Nexus 4 is able to recognize my D-Link Mainstage but not connect to it. Intel WiDi 3.5 is supposed to be compatible with Miracast. Oh well, maybe I have to wait for 3.6
This was announced almost a year ago and has become such a clusterf**k, I'll be surprised if we ever see it (much like the Nexus Q, Nexus 7 dock, and Nexus 4 wireless charger, well... you get the idea). Thankfully, I don't have a need for it at this point. If I did, I'd have gone to an Apple device. Theirs has been working for years.

MHL Adapter or Miracast or Chromecast?

Hello All,
I recently bought a Tab 4 8.0 (T-337A). I just wanted to know does MHL work with this? Or Miracast would be a better option?
I also have a Note 5. So an all round performer would be preferred. But the main goal is to connect the Tab 4 to the TV.

Ive been personally using chromecast and its good, havent found anything bad about it, my best 35$ ive spent you can put your tv show etc on chromecast and shut down tablet and watch it.
But i heard there are limited apps. And with Miracast you can just about do anything. For $20 more, you can get a lot more out of it isn't it?

There is also option to show real time device using but on my phone kt just crashed and rebooted phone, havent tried on tablet. It was beta test of it so google is developing real time streaming to tv. Also ive heard about miracast that it has pretty noticeable delay. Ive used chrome remote control and it has no delay between my PC and tablet, so i belive that google can make chromecast faster than miracast. At this moment miracast is better but it might change when update comes official and not a test.
Ok Cool! Thanks for the inputs!

afaik the tab4 is not mhl capable.
I think 10.1 is MHL compatible. But have not been able to find anything concrete about the 8.0. That is why i asked before getting anything.
