Miracast HD Adapter - Droid Ultra Accessories
I've looked online for adapters to use the wireless Miracast technology to link the New Droid line to HDTV's but I see a lot of mixed ideas on what works well and what is junk. I figured I'd try and start a discussion where we can get this straitened out. Anyone have any leads?
No idea on the miracast wireless display. I use the phone to download torrents and stream them to my TV via roku and app on phone called twonky.
Verizon store tried selling me a miracast adapter for $49.99

I bought a netgear PTV3000 to play with on my Maxx. It took a bit to set up (definitely need to do firmware update) and the initial connection was finicky but after that it seems pretty rock solid. Pairing is slow (like 30 seconds) and there's a definite lag (anywhere between half a second to a second or more) but for video use or general sharing it works fine. I wanted it to try a dockless system (keyboard, mouse, screen) but the lag is just too much for that.

I saw the netgear but also read that it had some issues. But hearing you say it works is encouraging. I wonder if there's any devices with less lag. I'll try and do some more research, thanks for the input!

I keep seeing all these results for some $10 belkin one but it's not out yet. And of course it's been disabled on the chromecast. The roku 3 would be in my hands if it was working. Its miracast capable but hasn't been enabled yet.

The netgear for 69 from Verizon is amazing. Message me for details and discounts.

I can report that the PTV 3000 works awesome. Watched a football game from the Sunday Ticket (with the Madden 25 deal) and it was just about flawless. Clearer than a wired connection we started with on my son's Razr Maxx.
Really impressed.

Are you rooted? I heard that it will not work with rooted Samsungs and want to make sure that is not the case with the new droids.
Any miracast adapters with component or composite video?
Sent from my XT1080m using Tapatalk
I use my Raspberry Pi and RaspBMC install and the Yatse app to send video to my TV. It's a great combo, but not as mobile as a Miracast adapter would be though.
Anyone please share the link.....looking for one...did not find at ebay....
I bought the Netgear PTV3000 from Verizon. Could not find anywhere else. It works good. I keep the phone close to the adapter to avoid choppy playback. The unit requires an HDMI cable which nobody tells you about. HDMI both ends. Total outlay ends up being $100.

No. My computer does not recognize my phone so I can't follow through the required steps. Is there a block for rooted devices?

Seeing lots of adapters on Amazon for dlna airplay and miracast. Under $30. Wish I knew if they worked. The reviews are mixed and none mention the actual use.

The PTV3000 with the latest update works great. Slight delay while in use but other than that it works great. Not having to sit an HDMI's cable away is nice too. Like on my old RAZR MAXX.

I LOVE the PTV3000, load latest software 2.4.26 & there is very little lag. I use this adapter on 7 devices without any issues

Unless their numerics are not in order, 2.4.3 is the latest update.

That was published early August, updated later in October. The 2.4.3 is from early November

I've read that rotted Samsung users can't use it. I'd like to make sure that it works with our phone before buying.

Hulu is ad central. I'm going to say Netflix wins here.
Netflix runs in every room in my house
Hmmm interesting Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I'd say netflix as hulu is too jam packed with ads for the same amount cost of netflix. Wish I could get the two combined into one minus the ads.
I have hulu but cant stand paying for adds plus their website is a jungle going with netflix all the way Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I had to make a choise the other day because I never used both before.... For me it came down to which has the most device support including our phone which has HDMI out to a TV and of course... Netflix wins in this area.... So long story short.... Netflix...
I have both, when hulu plus works it works great! But the problem is getting it to work (outside of the computer, the LG tv app of Hulu plus has never worked and whenever my ps3 gets an update Hulu plus never seems to work). Try Hulu plus out, google free month trial hulu plus and they will let you test it for a month free of charge (currently that's where I'm at and I probably won't renew it because of all the issues on ps3/LG tv).
http://sliced-apple.com/2011/06/17/...l-nito-xmbc-and-icefilms-to-your-apple-t-v-2/ For those looking for other options. This option would require an apple TV in each room you wanted the service but it is a small investment considering you would be able to get rid of all other services including cable or dtv. This would also include getting rid of services like vudu. Enjoy my fellow xda members. If life was like a box of chocolates wouldn't there be a layout on the inside of the box telling you which are the good ones?

Netflix, if it has it, is ad free. But hulu has all the new stuff. If you want first run programming, Hulu is the way to go. If you want movies and archived shows, Netflix.

NFL Live games
I am looking for a way to watch NFL games whether its free or paid for. I currently do not have a TV service I only care to watch football. OTA is not an option.

MHL Connection
I just got a Menotek Mhl adapter and the phone recognizes the power from it but nothing happens on the TV or the phone when connected. There is no option to switch to hdmi and it doesn't happen automatically. Is our phone supported? Thanks for any help. Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I've used it and it works fine. I had to reconnect the cable to get it to work but it works perfect.
It's not the adapter because my roommate's evo lte works just fine with it. I am rooted and unlocked running rooted zv9 ROM. Normally I'm good at troubleshooting. Can't figure this one out. Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Man I've tried so many things already. I've had multiple friends use it now but I'm the only one with an LGOG. I thought you needed an extra adapter for the s3 but that worked as well. My phone accepts that its hooked to a charger but nothing else. I really want to play n64 and snes on my tv Lol! Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Well figured it out. The S3 didn't actually work. I got the 5 to 11 pin adapter and all is well. HD phone on the TV is pretty sweet! Edit: Works for my buddy's S3. 11 pin does NOT fit LGOG. Still does not work with my phone at all. Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
so the OG uses 11 pin MHL like samsung? I thought only S2/Note2 is using 11 pin.
I bought one off a guy on ebay named fourpairteledata for $8 with free shipping. There is no name on the unit and it feels cheaply built and only came in a plastic bag but it works perfectly and has a microusb port for the ac adapter. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=400341522051 Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Mmm not sure if you can do it? I know you can use a wireless P3 controller but it's because of Bluetooth.
Those using a 3g/4g dongle
Greetimgs Tab 3 community, I recently picked up a T110 and was looking to pick up a dongle so I could use it as my primary phone since my Note II has a cracked screen and it's only a matter before the digitzer snaps and the phone becomes a paperweight.
