I just got a Netgear PTV3000 so I can connect my mobile devices to a larger display. So far I've got it to work with my Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook, my Dell Venue 8 Pro, and my HTC Droid DNA. It won't work with my Nexus 7 though! In the settings there is an option to "Cast Display", but it never picks up the PTV3000 receiver. Has anyone gotten this combo to work? Thanks!!
Nobody at all?
Currently the cast screen option is disabled as I have also tried it with chromecast but no joy. Various sources have no popped up with the information that the cast screen function will be used with chromecast maybe in the next update for the chromecast

I just came across an app called Real HDMI. It says it's only for the Droid X but it's supposed to allow you to turn off/on the HDMI port, and "use your favorite video players, applications and emulators on your big screen TV or Stereo."
Wondering if something like this could work on a Streak?
Link to Real HDMI.
we need this for Dell Streak
Hey I would love to do this. What a great app. My wife and I would not need the computer so much, if we could use this more with the dock, big screen hdmi, bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Any luck
Pls,has anyone tested this yet? I would really like to know as I want to output my streak to my TV as well. I have both apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and they both work like a charm when I connect them up to my streak.if I had the ock, I would happily give this a go but then I don't
Apparently its been removed from the market

There is also a devlopement from the atrix forum for mirroring the screen that doesn't work.
Also a couple of apps on the market for the eco that also don't work.
Needs some inr to convert them for the streak

Is there a way to mirror thru the 3.5mm jack? Using something like a iphone AV cable.

If your computer has the Intel Wireless Display technology that's designed to mirror your PC onto your tv, perhaps it could be reversible.
That said, I think the Nexus 7 is still waiting for that Miracast streaming feature to be enabled. Perhaps when Google allows that (thanks to Chromecast, I haven't heard word on this for a long while), something could talk between the two devices.
Sorry, these are just guesses, but I have no idea if display mirroring has come to the N7 yet. And if it has, how it could be taken advantage of in Windows.

Cast Moto X screen to Chromecast!
Change build.prop line ro.product.device to hammerhead then save and reboot.
Easy!
I posted here in Android Development because those with unrooted phones can't do this...plus, it's just a downright cool tweak.

As mentioned prior, I was able to hack my build.prop, to convince Chromecast that my phone is a Nexus 5... After a reboot, the CastScreen option populated and just started working.
Initial thoughts... While it is still in beta, I figured with all the hype casting would be pretty polished by now.
Not so much.
The Chromecast struggles to produce video, and seems to heavily compress (or take a long time) to render anything. Photos do fairly well, but streaming video from phone to TV is totally useless.. I also recognized early on that the Chromecast doesn't seem to support 5g wireless, which would likely help a great deal with throughput.
I have seen a few YouTube videos showing better casting results, but using true Nexus gear. To be fair, there's a chance the Moto X isn't officially supported yet because Google may want to push all of this heavy lifting through our GPU.
Oh well, always fun trying new things.

One last thing...I encourage others to post their experiences here

I discovered this build.prop edit on my own yesterday and tested it out. I noticed the heavy compression at first but things smooth out after a few moments. Quality seemed to be fairly good from what I could see. I'm I've got an 802.11ac router really close to my tv that my phone was connected to on 5ghz (though my chromecast was connected on 2.4ghz n). So maybe that had something to do with it. Playing sonic dash showed smooth clean graphics, but the latency was just a tad too slow to rely on the TV as a screen and the phone as a controller.
Watching MLB.TV quality definitely suffered a little and wasn't quite as smooth. Perhaps that was because I was streaming so there was data going back and forth to the router.
Also, note there is another post on XDA with an app someone threw together to enable mirroring on any device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193
I would guess this performance will be on par with casting a tab from Chrome on your PC. I know that experience sucks.

I do this wired from a desktop and it works extremely well - video, audio, whatever. I haven't tried the phone yet... but I'd check your network.

Wired I don't have as much of a problem but wireless I do. Then again there are many factors but all network related. Chromecast in relation to the router, wireless devices currently using the bandwidth on the router etc...
Since most people are not hardwired to their network I think its a valid post to talk about wireless tab casting especially since you will be casting with your phone wirelessly.
I'll try this on my moto x today. I'm casting to Chromecast from my nexus 7 and it works good. Not a lot of latency , buffering or anything. Quick and all, so I'll compare it with this hack on the moto x..

This works on my Moto X pretty well. Latency is higher than my girlfriends S4, but it still works.

This version is great for people who rooted with pie root on version 4.4.2 since you can't modify your build.prop.
when I tried to use with my XT1058 with CM11, google play caught ... does anyone know how to solve?

cast screen workin in moto x2013 trick
first open hot spot from any other android mobile . after that connect moto x wifi with that hotspot mobile after that you will easily uese miracast in moto x 2013... screen mirroring
.
You don't need to do this anymore. The Chromecast app now supports mirroring from any device via a button in the app.
Seems that they finally got screen casting to completely work in the recent CM updates. Including a photo I took of my TV casting my screen. Sadly this is only able to just show that the camera is on making the TV endlessly repeat but it shows that it is working. I was able to play games and watch videos and the sound even went to the TV as well. If I hook up my wireless mouse with my otg cable and connect my Bluetooth keyboard I'll be set with the biggest screen I've ever seen android on.

Its only going to get better too. There's already so many more apps that work with it than there were a few months ago when I bought it. Screen mirroring was something people only talked about and wished could happen back then. You needed to have a miracast to screen mirror but even then it doesn't work like it doesn't on the Chromecast, im only noticing a latency of a fraction of a second. Enough to make playing games through your TV a little tricky but still doable.
very suprised dualshock 4 controllers work natively with otg cable... very nice combined with mirroring

This has worked wonders for me in my new car.
Now, I no longer need the MHL adapter and huge bulky HDMI cable to hook up to my stock in dash car radio screen.
Just the HDMI to RCA converter and the Chromecast. Works great!!!!!!! and takes up less space.

If I recall right, DS4 compatibility was within the Linux kernel, and was improved somewhat recently. But in any case, it is pretty nice that it works
I've been screen mirroring for a couple months now with a rooted Chromecast.

That's great - if you have a Chromecast that can be rooted
Wireless Display Casting (Miracast) is not working on my new Moto Z Force. I have tried it with two different displays and both are not showing up under the nearby devices. The devices show up under WiFi Direct settings but it will not allow me to connect and display there. Worked fine on my Droid Turbo 2 but no luck with the Z. Was this feature removed?

Same here. Hoping it's a bug, but even if it is, we'll be waiting til 2017 for a fix.
According to Moto_Tom on the Moto Z forums, Miracast does not work with the Moto Z.

Sorry to drag up an old topic, but has there been any solution to this?
Coming from a Note 4 I used screen mirroring all the time for Kodi and now I'm stuck!
Is there another app that can share my screen to my Roku stick?
Thanks
I've tried many apps to get things like showbox to cast to Chromecast and I've found that LocalCast works best for me. I've been using it for the past 2 years and since has been very well updated. Here's the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.stefanpledl.localcast
