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.

Engadget review said the N10 didnt have miracast, unlike the N4
is this something that will be available at launch, or in an upgrade
that really sucks cause i was pumped about using to to beam XBMC and games to my TV, even got a miracast adapter for my tv (all share hub)
I expect by the time you can buy a tablet it will be working. You should get the up grade as soon as you start using the tablet. Since the n10 has to be in warehouses ready to go they will have to update when sold. Jmo
Which is yet another reason to take these pre-release reviews with a grain of salt...
I thought about that to be honest, but what confused me is it was there in the nexus 4 pre release; we will see nov 13, fingers crossed
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.
Hi I have given my grandfather my old galaxy note 10.1 and he wants to be able to share media from the tablet screen to the TV will chromecast work for this?

same question........Has anyone actually sent their 10.1 (2012) screen to their TV via Chromecast?
The literature indicates this should work. If so, how well does it work?
Any info appreciated.
Hi... Ihavethe s5 and the N8010.
Works for phone but not the tablet, the option isn't there in the chromecast app.
Just get an allshare dongle. Its the same premise, however the allshare can mirror everything on screen. Not just youtube and netflix. They should be about 50 on amazon
I use an allshare at home and we use them in every classroom at my school (every student and staff member has a galaxy note 10.1). At home I use my allshare with a S4, note 3, note 4, galaxy note 10.1 2012 edition, galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition, galaxy tab 2 7.0 and nexus 7 they all work out of the box. Just like z31k said it mirrors the whole device not just certain apps. I went to best buy and had them price match amazon to get the price down to $50 that way I didn't have to wait for shipping

Samsung's Allshare Cast dongle is easiest option but it is possible to get Chromecast doing that too. Screencast/-mirroring option is available in Chromecast by default only for small set of devices but it actually works in many other devices too including Note 10.1 (2012). You can find app from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 that enables screencast in all devices. It works fine in Note 10.1 but requires rooting. How well mirroring itself works depends on how fast your wifi router is. If you use mirroring to stream local media from tablet to TV it works quite ok but streaming HD video from internet to tablet and simultaneously mirroring it from tablet to Chromecast does not work so well for me.
They work fine on my iOS and Android devices like a Nexus 7 2013 tablet. Was also the case with TVapp.so when it was working. So few of the Android TV apps seem to work on the NP but I (and others) can't figure out why. Wondering if the Chinese box APIKs will work since they are selling subs now rather than selling boxes. I'm on several forums now and no one can answer those questions. Might pick up another NP though as they go on sale at Staples Canada for $70 + tax...
