Wireless Display Adapters (Miracast)

narcopolypse · Dec 10, 2012

With all of the confusion regarding Miracast adapters (especially the Netgear PTV3000) I thought I'd try to point people in the right direction.
First thing's first, the Netgear PTV3000 does NOT work. It is not certified and has absolutely no connectivity out of the box. It can be flashed
with an experimental firmware to gain crappy functionality but will not work properly until an official update is released.

Edit: The Netgear PTV3000 IS now certified and works great! It's also cheaper than most and is the only stand alone Miracast adapter that can be purchased at Best Buy (or any other offline store for that matter).

~~So rather than waste your money on a Netgear adapter (like I did)~~ you could buy yourself an Actiontec ScreenBeam which I have confirmed
not only works with the N4 but works great! And if you're not a big fan of Actiontec devices, here is a direct link to the Wi-Fi Alliances list of

Official Miracast Certified Recievers

which are certified (imagine that) to work with the Nexus 4.
Happy screen beaming :laugh:

Not that I don't believe you, but who/how did you confirm the ActionTec works?

I'm looking for some anecdotal reviews and opinions of it. Thanks.

Looks like it's not out yet. So the OP is either 1. speculating based on the certification (from just 9 days ago). Or 2. Has some sort of inside connection to get one before they have even gone up for sale.

Guessing it's 1.

This isn't the same product that's Miracast certified... Looks the same, but different model numbers.

Or 3, they have been up for sale on Amazon for a week now but are currently sold out. (seems par for the course with anything related to the N4) Fortunately a friend of mine got one before they sold out. Tested and confirmed working with his Nexus 4.
And FYI this also comes with a little USB dongle that you can plug into any computer to make it Miracast enabled. We tried it with an AMD computer running a Nvidia GPU and it works great!

2 things (doubt you can help with the 2nd, but who knows).

1. when you use the USB dongle on the PC, does it mirror the laptop display, or can you configure it as a second screen?
2. Have you tested it with a Galaxy S3 (miracast certified)?

I received my Actiontec adapter yesterday (bought through Amazon) and it does NOT work with both my nexus 4 devices.
It will try to pair and will fail after 20sec.
One N4 is unlocked and rooted running stock. The other N4 is not rooted and not unlocked fully stock with nothing installed on it.
Both will NOT connect with this adapter.

If anyone was able to get this to work please specify how you did it.
Both my N4's can connect to the Netgear PTV3000 with the beta firmware that was floating around.

Also, the Actiontec comes with a USB dongle that you can use on any PC to mirror its screen. Even that will only connect to the adapter two times in 20 tries...the rest will simply time out.

1. Didn't try but it did show up as an additional video card in device manager so I assume you could use it as a second screen.
Also, the Miracast standard (and pre release demos) say it should.
2. I couldn't get it to work but that doesn't surprise me.

It will not work on the Nexus 4 if it is rooted. As for not working with on your unrooted one, I don't know what to tell you. We got it to work. (after we figured out it has to be unrooted)

narcopolypse · Dec 11, 2012

Also, it will only work if you've updated to JOP40D.

Could you do a video for me please? I'm really interested as to how miracast is implemented with the Nexus 4... does it just mirror everything on your screen no matter what app youre using, does it continue working when you turn the screen on the phone off, whats the latency like?

Really interested,

Thanks

That is not accurate. I don't think it has anyhting to do with being rooted or not.
I contacted Actiontec and they responded saying that the shipping firmware will not work with the N4 and that they are working on a beta firmware that will fix the problem.
Since you got it to work, what firmware version is your adapter running?

texasice · Dec 12, 2012

I got mine today (Actiontec ScreenBeem SBWD100A v1.0.21). It does not work out of the box. (for me anyway)

Logcat is saying something about hdcp failing. apparently qseecom is looking in the wrong directory so i copied the discretix files from /vendor/firmware/discretix to /system/etc/firmware/ but it still wouldnt connect. Interestingly i can connect to it as a wifi-direct device it then disconnects saying the app wasnt found (on the tv). so after that i tried reconnecting the wfd, it connects but looks like hdcp still has issues and actually locks up the device every time. Anyway thats my story.

@texasice, it is interesting to see that you are running V1.0.24 while mine is running 1.0.21. Did you get yours from Amazon?
