Hey guys,
I just heard about this little marvel..
http://www.asus.com/Tablet_Mobile_Accessories/ASUS_Miracast_Dongle/
Has anyone try this? I really want some sort of Airplay functionality for my tablet, its around 100$ but if it does what it says it does, i think its worth it.
So, anyone have one?!
Edit: got way to excited and noticed its not release yet... Lol. So who is getting one?

No clue about this guy. I have a Netgear PTV3000 that works pretty well for screen mirroring. I use it for streaming media. For gaming I use the Analogix Slimport since wireless mirroring addsd latency.
Would like to hear people's reviews about the Asus product as well. I guess will have to wait till it's release and someone tries it out.

I'd recommend downloading Allcast Beta
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/12/01/koushs-allcast-beta-enters-the-play-store/
Works for all kinds of devices Smart TV's, Apple TV, Google TV, Roku .... I'm pretty sure any DLNA device as well.

AllCast is definitely a great video streaming option, especially for the cross platform (I have only tested it out on my Samsung TV). But, it is rather limited, at least at this time. Currently, it will only stream videos that are on your phone. It won't display pictures, stream other video services (Netflix, VUDU, etc), or even do mirroring. Hopefully, it will have these features in the future.
As for a mirroring device, I have high hopes for the ASUS Miracast Dongle. Hopefully, the dual bandwidth will cure the latency issues with the current wireless options. Unless I see reviews of it being a complete failure, I will be purchasing one of these.
Anyone seen when these will be released?
$100 for this is just crazy... and people complain about Apple's pricing?
android tv stick is a better choice
i recommend to buy an android tv stick like tronsmart mk908 or t908. it is a standalone pc stick and can even sstream everything via miracast.
it is much cheaper. chromecast or asus dongle are very limited of its functions.
cheers
they can't be serious with the name "Dongle"

bought a tablet from them a couple of yrs ago, never had any probs, they been around for awhile now...yet you never know until it happens......sure beats throwing 100 bucks out there without knowing.
you can get some very cheap miracast dongles.

Im curious to see if this one works as well as they say it does. Just not wanting to be the test rat for it atm... Done my fair share of testing new products.
there was a German poster over at the Asus T100 forums that said the Asus Dongle would not work for him.
i went ahead and bought the Actiontec Receiver from Wally World, works just fine so far, had to update the firmware...good to go.

I remember Best Buy selling the Rocketfish Miracast Video Adapter for $19.99 a while back. This is the cheapest miracast adapter that works with either 2.4 & 5Ghz bands.

I've been waiting a while for Miracast products to actually materialize and was disappointed in the reviews of the Allshare Cast dongle. I figured there are probably more people like me who would be interested in this device from Netgear. Hopefully it's the start of many Miracast products soon to be released.

intel just updated there Wi-Di product to 3.5? and it should be backwards compatable with miracast so hopefully in the next generation or two of smartphones this will become prevalent, I'm waiting for miracast and wireless ac to become popular before I upgrade my Phone again. So hopefully that happens at the same time.
what kind of phone do you have right now? the S3 is supposedly compatible with Miracast devices.

Hello, I can confirm that as of right now my stock Galaxy S3 (Verizon) does not work with the Netgear PTV3000 (WiDi 3.5 and Miracast support). However, I think that this feature is supposed to be coming in the form of an update to the phone (may never see it since I'm on Verizon).
There is also rumor of Key Lime Pie supporting Miracast out of the box. I guess we shall see.
I just thought this would help anyone searching for the S3 and Miracast.
Thanks
wow i'm so behind on things. I had no clue what this was. i still dont, i'm going to have to read-up on this...
I'm still trying to see what the use for me will be, since my TV has apps (pandora, hulu, netflix), it's connected to my PC (for anything else, via HDMI) and I can send stuff from my phone already via AllShare...
Anybody have one or planning on getting one? I'm kinda bummed I'll have to get another one (already have MHL) dumb competing standards. The few available on Amazon seem overpriced (in the $30 range) for a chunk of plastic and some wire.
Buy the one from analogix. That is the official one and it does cost $30. It is pricy when compared to regular MHL adaptors, but its worth it if you plan on using it.

What the cable gets you that the chromecast doesn't is direct streaming of content. chromecast does not currently support file playback through gallery. All direct streaming from the device (not from the internet) is "beta"
So say you want to play an MP4 file, you'd need this

I didn't even notice the port was not MHL. What nincompoop opted to go with this rather than MHL? Maybe I don't know something I should here, but hasn't MHL been around for a couple years now? And is there anything allegedly superior about slimport that would make it desirable over MHL?
This is just a little disappointing to me because both of my Samsung phones use MHL and at this point my backpack is already the subject of Guantanamo style field stripping every time I fly international.

Since its Nexus line, Google would follow what they did with the N4. Why don't you just check it?
MyDP (SlimPort) adapters are appearing on eBay for less than $20USD which I think is pretty good value. SlimPort has some clear advantages over MHL (scaling/no need to have charger plugged in etc).

Haha no worries. That's true. It will take a long time to arrive. They've just been really hard to get even through Asia so just thought I'd let people know since I came across them. Thanks.
I'm looking for one too. Even the one on ebay cost around $20 from china. Not counting waiting for over a month for it. Bought more than a few items from china, and only about 50% of them ever work.
Just be careful with the non analogical brand slimport adaptors. People from the N4 were having problems with certain ones. You can check in the N4 accessories thread as there is more information about them there.
I can confirm that the official one works perfect.

Got the 30$ analogix one and tried it out last night.. works great on the new N7!
Anyone find a cheap SlimPort adapter to get HDMI out to a TV?
I've been looking and was hoping they'd come down in price by now...
I know Amazon sells others, but the one from Analogix is the official one from what I understand, and it encounters the least issues. Further, they guarantee compatibility with all Nexus devices, as well as LG devices, and one of the Chromebooks. I personally use the SlimPort by Analogix (SP1002) for my N4, and it works very well. There is a new model out now (SP1003), which came out in July, which replaced the older model. From what I understand, it allows for better charging capabilities.

I was tempted by some of the less expensive Slimport adapters on Amazon, but eventually decided to go with the Analogix (SP1003-2116). It is just under $30 and if you are a Amazon Prime member free two day shipping. It seemed to get much better reviews than the other Slimport adapters. Mine came in the mail today along with a wireless charger. Hopefully my N5 arrives Monday so they can play.

Miracast actually mirrors what is on your phone/tablet screen; of course your device has to have official Miracast hardware support. (think of it as wireless hdmi with a slight lag). With Chromecast, you have to use an approved app on your tablet/pc/phone, and those apps essentially send a special secured link to your Chromecast device, Chromecast pulls the link, and Chromecast processes it & displays it on your TV. Or, you can mirror a chrome tab from your pc/mac; this only works with some (not all) websites.
I almost jumped on this at $30, now its $20? Can anyone that actually has it confirm that it works ok with the Moto x? The reviews are less than stellar, but I'm really interested in getting one. Just trying to decide whether to spend more money on one with better reviews. I would be using it for watching tv/movies from my device. The main issue I'm worried about is audio sync, absolutely annoying during a movie. A little stuttering is fine, but out of sync for 2hrs would be unbearable.

Can you provide additional info on how this particular dongle worked for you? I have just gotten into Miracast, and am looking at dongles etc. I have looked at Netgear's Push2TV and Actiontec Screenbeam Pro. I was very skeptical about these smaller manufacturer dongle...so I would appreciate your input on this dongle you bought.
BTW, just remember that as far as Laptops/Computers go the computer HARDWARE must be Intel certified for Widi to work, even though Windows 8.1 has Miracast SOFTWARE. So for now I am stuck using only my phone/tablet natively.
Thanks for any feedback!

Well it worked if I was on the same wifi even though it didn't need the net to be on in order to work. Since the chrome cast option came out I didn't really worry about using the miraicast anymore but wanted to try it out. I'm sure it will work even better with a higher priced miricast doggle but ya again it works but for hotel wise I just went with my android doggle it always plays anything perfectly fine and it entertained all of my gf and Is roommates a ton.
