So I'm intrigued with the miracast dongles but I don't want to spend a fortune on it. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with them. Also hoping to not spend more than $40 on it. I'm running the Nexus 5 Experience which is CM11 and it seems to support it.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Chromecast dongle. $35. Allcast from Koush and a Chromecast dongle. I can show pictures and movies from my phone.

From what I understand is that Chromecast won't let me mirror my phone to the TV which is what I'm looking for. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Allcast allows you to do just that. Also, I think there's an app called mirror also by Koush that allows you to stream that onto an apple tv

Could you please explain how to mirror your android phone to the TV like a miracast dongle would. I purchased a chromecast and so far I am unsuccessful in mirroring whatever is on my phone to the TV. I looked up the Koush beta and it only works for the NEXUS 5...
You can't mirror at this point. But you can play videos and music from your device and stream them to your TV. Koush working on mirroring for all devices.
You can also use Allcast to stream to any dnla device like Roku, XBox PS4.

Is there anyway way at all to mirror out to a tv? I want to see what's on my nexus on my TV. I have been reading for almost 3 hours doesn't look like you can. Please help. I know Samsung cords dont work because n7 doesn't support mhl at all, miracast probably won't happen to us at least any time soon, nexus q will only stream your videos and not mirror whats on ur screen, and there's some thing pi rasp idk exactly what's its called. Is there anything that works? Sorry there's probably a thread about this I scrolled down for 10 mins and didn't find one. I will update my first post with any findings to help anyone easier.
Thanks everyone!

too much trouble for me to do though
There is if you have an AppleTV, it's called AppleTV Air Play Media Player by Zappotv and it's in the Google Play Store. It's pretty cool it uses Apple's Air Play protocol to send your Nexus screen's picture or video to your big screen TV.

Hi
Please help me with this -I've a Samsung galaxy s3 and a new Samsung LCD TV.
So most of the videos I can stream from my s3 to the TV via dnla as long as they're in the same WiFi networks.
Now I just got my new nexus thinking I'll be able to do the same. But chrome starts play inn these videos directly
On the webpage and I don't have any way to stream this to the TV.
On s3, it used too play it on the video player that comes with the android os.
How do I do this on nexus? The wireless display doesn't find my TV at all

N7 supports miracast. You need miracast support for wireless.
So do I need to buy miracast dongle?

Chromecast dongle could be another choice?
Look for "Pixel Media Server" on Playstore.
I use it to stream via DLNA to my Samsung tv, since my S4 is running on AOSP.

solved...!!
I figured it out finally..quite easy..
On chrome itself when its playing the flash video, there is a share button and i downloaded a program called Twonky Beam from playstore,,and click on share via beam..
Bingo!! it straight away beams whatever is playing in my browser on to my samsung TV in clear HD!!..no messsy wires..I assume there are similar apps to beam as well..
Thanks guys!!
Am trying to get my Dish Anywhere app to mirror wirelessly to my TV. Am using a wireless dongle on the set but can't figure out how to mirror to the TV. Any ideas??? I did this alot on my old Razr Maxx via the HDMI output but now wirelessly can't figure it out.
Chrome cast?

Is it the Allshare Cast dongle you're using?

It's Allshare capable, but it's not the Hub. Guess I need a Hub to do what I want to do, which is $70 which is why I ordered a MHL adapter for $13 instead. That and from what I've been reading the Hub has lag and problems. Would be nice if they ironed out this nonsense so people could easily and accurately mirror their phones to their big screens with no lag or problems.......

One the reasons I bought the Kindle was because of I believe it's called miracast where you can project your tablet onto your tv. What ever happened to it? Or is there something else I can do?

I forgot Android app Twonky works also, but I had problems Beaming Mythtv HD file to my SD tv. It worked otherwise.
AllCast is also an alternative if you have a roku or apple TV. I have tested it on both and movies play flawlessly. It also supports viewing pictures and streaming music.

You guys know of anything that'll work with xbox?
PlayOn works with Xbox for streaming . http://www.playon.tv/supported-devices
The miracast adapters above are needed to do full second screen mirroring. Hopefully Roku will update their device soon to allow it as well.

Yeah, personally, I'd stay away from the "HDX Certified" Netgear Push2TV device. It is utter rubish. All kinds of resolution issues (you can fix with an app, but still, shouldn't have too) & the audio is marginal at best. I have an Onkyo TX5010-NR, which is one of the baddest receivers around (& I've tested/owned lots). Chromecast will support 5.1 Dolby & PCM, so will numerous other options, including SlimPort (I have an HDMI 1.4b certified SlimPort/MyDP dongle) which also works flawlessly in regards to audio, even up to 8 channels. The NetGear HDX Certified device though only outputs 2.0 PCM. It's watchable, but nowhere near as enjoyable as other devices.
I'm thinking of getting a chromecast dongle for my tv and just wanted to check some info first.
1. I want to wireless send video to my TV
2. I use showbox & mobdro and mxplayer will these work and is it smooth?
3. Will it also wireless play audio from poweramp?
Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Kev

I think in general you're barking up the wrong tree. The way chrome cast works is it pulls content directly from the Internet. What you're describing is like Apple Air Play (or some such thing).
Chrome cast is great, but really your device acts like a controller, that's why only certain apps are supported, because the chrome cast has to run them "onboard" so to speak. I use it with Netflix a lot.
Hope that helps.

Never tried poweramp but showbox will stream to it. Just make sure youe media player is allcast or Avia. Never had an issue with either or showbox
