Miracast dongles - are they all the same? - General Accessories

I've been looking at connecting my Nexus 5 to my TV and noticed that quite a few manufacturers are selling miracast dongles from between £15 and £50.
Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between them? Are there any ones in the market that are better and useable for gaming with minimal lag?

Bluetooth keyboard

Hey guys,
Is any bluetooth keyboard compatible with my android device, in my case galaxy s2?

i think its a plenty on the market such ebay or amazon. just carefully read if you interested with genuine samsung dock keyboard for each type is different, otherwise you might using aftermarket or apple A1314 product
There is a lot of generic ones that don't work becareful. I saw a lot of bad reviews on a lot of them on Amazon. If anyone knows of one that works, I like to know. I don't want to waste my money on a piece of crap.

Buy the A100, yes or no?

1saleaday is selling it on today's flash sale for $170. I'm fine with the price, but I'm wondering if it's a good tablet? I'll probably be using it more for reading, internet browsing, watching movies while traveling, maybe very very light gaming. I'm comfortable flashing recoveries/rom's, using ADB, etc. But is it a decent daily tablet?
I love it go for it cost is very nice ...

Depends on you, really. For me its great, but less then great battery life and 1 bad viewing angle may make it unbearable for you. Me, I just learned my way around it. Only real flaws I'd give it in general, not counting defects. Wifi is a little on the weak side as well.

$170 is a steal for a GREAT ice cre sandwich tablet with minimal flaws. Much better than the kindle Fire, has FULL android (play store, google apps)...has hdmi (great for tv hookup and a good tegra 2 processor for gaming I would say go for it, it's one of the best tablets for the price

[Q] MHL cable?

Does a cheap MHL cable work just as well as the expensive one or is there any difference?
I bought a cheap one in focalprice some weeks ago (+-8 usd) , I will see then, but I don't own an expensive one to comapre,
I will review as I get it
Most of the time cheap is just as good

Go to Amazon and read reviews. You do get what you pay for in mhl... I have the Skiva mhl ($15). I bought one of the $5 ones first, and after HD mkv was stuttering and draining quicker than it could charge, I bought the Skiva and learned my lesson. In most cases, except simple cables like hdmi, you get what you pay for.

How to play games in TV?

Hi,
I have mhl cable
I have HDMI cable.
I have LG LED HDTV
I connected the mhl cable to my s4 and connected HDMI cable to the mhl port. I switched on TV and selected the HDMI as the input but nothing is coming up on my TV screen.
In my knowledge, using mhl cable or adaptor I should be able to share my screen on my TV.
Any idea why it's not working as intended. Also is there is any way to play games on to my TV from my phone?
Your help is much appreciated.:thumbup:

Which MHL cable/adapter are you using? There are a lot of knockoffs and cheap-O brands.

Hi,
Happy Christmas
Am using Samsung mhl adaptor which I bought along with my galaxy s2.... now am trying to use it with my s4... but it's not working....

You need the new mhl 2.0 adapter. The s3 started with the new adapter and the one for the s2 won't work anymore

Try The Samsung Brand
Samsung Makes a MHL to HDMI OTG style converter, I got one from amazon and it works for me, They tend to be a little bit more money compared to other though
Thanks All for your replies. that makes sense.
i will try to buy one, any recommendations apart from the Samsung brand?

A monopod can be just as good for high-end amatuer photos. Photography was my major in college, and I wound up using a monopod more times than one would imagine. Maybe even more than my $500 tripod. And, it was a homemade one. Didn't take that long to make it, just a little planning. Monopods are just much easier to transport.
