I have a brand new Samsung AllShare Wireless Hub sitting here (bought for my Note 2, which I'm selling). Before I open it, does anyone know if it will work with the Miracast feature on the Nexus 4?
Hmm, looks like it may work:

You can get the wireless hub from Samsung for 50% off (look for the thread in the Note 2 forum). Time to try it! Not bad for $49 shipped!
Edit: well, it works fine with the Note 2, but the Nexus 4, while pairs successfully, does not display anything on the screen.
Wonder if there is a firmware update needed for the Nexus 4? Or wonder if Samsung gimped it to only work with Galaxy phones. I hope the latter isn't the case because Miracast is a standard (like bluetooth) and should not be locked down to specific branded devices.
I'll keep tinkering with it. It pairs just fine, but nothing displays at all
So, has anyone successfully used Miracast yet? I'm debating on keeping the Samsung dock in hopes there is an issue with 4.2, since the dock works fine with the Note 2.
Any chance you can post a link to the thread with the hub for $49. Thank you.

Allshare is DLNA technology. Miracast is wireless mirroring. Two different things. Nexus 4 won't work with dlna products.

Why does it pair then? If they are different protocols I would not think it would successfully pair. It shows up in the pairing menu identically as it does with the Note 2...

I tried installing AllShare on my stock N10. It was a no-go. Will report back after I try it with the Paranoid ROM.
I was also interested in this. Either in this, or another product that would allow me to display my screen on the TV wirelessly.
Just ordered my Note 8 (3G version).
I've had the iPad mini previously and I've been wondering for a while, what is the ideal tablet/phone combo. I'm presuming that I'm not going to use the Note 8 as a phone very often, so I'm going to be carrying around 2 devices most of the time.
I've currently got a Galaxy S3 which I'm very happy with, but I do wonder if the 2 devices will be too similar. I've considered getting a small, cheap phone to use just for calls and texts and using the tablet for everything else, but I don't have the tablet with me all the time, so I do need something that has a decent browser and a camera.
I'd be keen to hear your thoughts. I'm sure this topic must have been discussed before, but I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.
I was just thinking of posting a very similar question.
I'm currently using a blackberry curve 9360. Its an OK companion as I can use it as a mobile hotspot and allow my note 8.0 to access the web through it. I love it as a communications device. Good for calls, strong signal, good battery life, small and the keyboard is great for sms and other messenger services. where it falls down is apps though. There are a few available but nothing seems to work very well.
Im weighing up the convenience of the keyboard to the benefits of useful apps at the moment. If I were to get an android phone, id need to be able to use it as a hotspot, which i think i can do, and it would need to be small enough to fit in my pocket, so about 4 inch screen maximum. There doesnt seem to be any high end devices at that screen size though, Just lite versions of their larger siblings.
My contract isnt due for renewal until december so I have a while to search and contemplate though.

I imported a pantech Vega 6. Mainly for the 1080p screen and 13mp camera. So far its an awesome phone. They've updated it regularly although I didn't think I would be able to living in the US.
Oh and I like the near 6" screen size too

Best phone/tablet combo? Padfone.
I'm using the S4 currently. Not sure there is really any device with a huge advantage when paired with the Note 8. Personally I think just sticking with Android and Samsung between the devices is best. At least this way you can use more of the Samsung share features and of course all your purchased apps on both devices.

so you use a 6 inch phone and an 8 inch tablet? What do you use one for vs the other?
I am using a Nexus 4 alongside my Note 8 Wi-Fi.
I am happy with the combo and find that almost everywhere I use my Note 8 I have good Wi-Fi.

SG4 and Note 2
SG2 and Note 8 with 3G for data
OG Note. Holding out for the Note 3.
Galaxy S3, T-Mobile model. I prefer my tablet for most uses so there's little reason to upgrade just yet.

I use this combo also, note 2 with my note 8. To answer your question, for me it's not so much a matter of designating each device to its own app per say, but more a matter of convenience. Basically, I reach for the 8 whenever I can, even for texting (mighty text), but when it's just quicker/easier, I go with the 2.

Galaxy S4. Great combination and similar styling

i've got the sprint galaxy note 2 and a verizon s4. i kept sprint when i picked up verizon (just before killing unlimited data) b/c i'm on a $50/mo sero plan. i should have gotten the note 2 for verizon also. s4 is nice, but i like the bigger screen on the note 2. maybe i'll get the note3 on verizon as long as they're root & unlock it and then sell my s4. i really should just drop sprint as their service in my area is total crap.
I use a S3 and a S4. I like the phones for all the things they do so well. The Note 8 was a impulse purchase due to AT&T having a bundling promotion when I purchased the S4. It replaces a Tab 2 7" and it far superior in display and I find the S Pen to be a real joy for use with spread sheets, drawing programs and the like.

Sprint Galaxy S4 and WiFi Note 8, although looking to get rid of the tablet because I just haven't found a use for it. I do have games and movie/tv apps on the Note because of screen size.
Previously I had the Note II and Note 8 but gave the Note II to my son (he has way bigger hands) and got the S4 for myself, which I'm really happy with.
Still in planning stage, but it will note 8 and one x

I've done some searching but am thinking about purchasing Chromecast and just wondered if anyone else has used it with the Note 3 while rooted and can confirm it works. Also does it matter if your running a custom rom?
It works with or without a custom ROM

Works on my rooted and ROMed Tab 10.1. Works on my rooted and ROMed Note II. Can't imagine it wouldn't work on a rooted and ROMed Note 3.
Aside: Best Buy will have Chromecast for $29.99 on Black Friday.

Cool thanks for the feedback. Have you happened to try a mhl adapter with your note yet?
Just picked up Chromecast at Best Buy and Google is giving $6.00 play store credit with the purchase.
I can connect my dell tablet, lg g3 and my samsung s4.
My nexus does not see the fireTv.
Anybody else test this out?
cheers.
Nexus devices don't see shoddy Amazon products like amazon doe snot see chromecasts in its store anymore XD
Seems odd tho my 6P casts to my Chromecast and to my Chromebook just fine ( usisng mirror app ), I wonder if its to do with the on going Amazon / Google thing
Not working with my Samsung TV and 6p either - works on my n5. Called google they transferred me to huawei. They at first said casting (TV out) is not supported and then said they'd look into it and call me back.
I thought miracast was not supported on this gen nexus devices?
Chromecast yes though.
