Yes, support of the connection via WiFi is on my TODO list.

Could you please share more details?
1. Version of MtcdMirroring
2. Details about your device
3. Details about your Head Unit.
3. Touch does not work at all or response is way off?

@f1x, Great update, it all works nearly perfect, touch screen is spot on, resolution is correct but only on QHD.

If i set my display to FHD or HD it does not detect that resolution properly and small get the small image. The main issue with this is running the phone on long trips with QHD resolution drains the battery fast.

Hi, great news that touchscren finally started to work. I suppose it should start work as well for other users who reported this issue .

If i set my display to FHD or HD it does not detect that resolution properly and small get the small image. The main issue with this is running the phone on long trips with QHD resolution drains the battery fast.

I made some research of this problem yesterday. Problem is quite complicated and mostly related to the graphic hardware. Original display resolution of your phone is QHD. As of Nougat release, Samsung "virtually" changed it to 1080p (rumors say due to battery drain issues), but resolution of the SurfaceFlinger remains the same (QHD). When you change the resolution, then display driver will crop the screen to the smaller resolution but SurfaceFlinger still captures the QHD.

I will try to find a way to crop and resize captured screen directly on the Head Unit but it is not so easy to do it during 1 day - alot things have to be considered to not drop the FPS rate.

Btw. for now as a temporary "workaround" I can recommend you to find an USB 3.0 HUB with additional power wire. I found one on Polish ebay (I suppose on aliexpress or similar it will be even much easier to find), and connected the additional power wire to the second USB port of the Head Unit. With this solution my Nexus 5X can even charge the battery a bit during usage of the MtcdMirroring.

Thanks for your help.

yeah i have considered a powered USB hub. I think I will go that route when I sort my cables out so fixing the resolution issue is not a big deal if it's far too complicated. May just need to be a heads up to samsung s7 owners.

I've just been testing this out on my PX3 unit that sits on my test bench these days.
It seems to work ok, plugged my Google Pixel (not XL) into it and it mirrors fine. Touches aren't right though.

edit: I've figured it out, touch is actually right when the phone is portrait. As soon as I turn it to landscape the screen rotates but the touches do the same. If I swipe from the left on the headunit with the phone in landscape, it pulls down the notification bar. If i swipe from the bottom on the headunit I get the Google page.

Device is an MTCD unit with 800x600 screen at 240 dpi (standard for this unit) and the Pixel is completely stock.

 

[Naglees]

working well for me, thank you for the app!

I can't get it to work on my Nexus 6P 7.1.2 and this head unit.

I just get a "No compatible device detected. Please check if debugging on your device is enabled." USB debugging does say connected and the Easyconnected app connects and opens the app (but doesn't get past there) so I know it's at least talking to the phone.

Any suggestions?

Also, if I do get this to work I would hope for an option for a paid ad-free version. Is that as a possibility?

*Edit: I guess I don't know if I have an MTCD head unit... maybe that's why?

this app working on wince oem navigation kia?

I'm so glad I found this. Hooked it up and it worked on the first try. I do have to use the wqhd to get It to work silkscreen but that's ok. It is even faster than the easy connected app. I had a couple questions. It is possible to get video to work on this, like next flix or YouTube. I can get the app to open and I can see subtitles but no image. I don't know if this has something to do with the bitrate settings or not but it doesn't change regardless of the value. And if you're still taking suggestions on features, it would be nice to be able to turn the phone screen of while connected.

Thanks for your feedback. It looks like your phone device has some DRM protection. You can make a simply test - make a screenshot when you are watching youtube or netflix. If it is not possible to make a screenshot during playback, it looks like DRM protection is active. There is plenty of tutorials how to disable it.

Yep, touch also doesn't work properly for me when I put the phone into landscape mode (Xperia Z2). Would have liked to be able to use this but not much point trying to use it in portrait mode obviously

 

[tavinet]

Hello friends, this application can be installed on android 4.2.2- greetings

 

[leonkernan]

Any news on an update to this to fix the touch?
It's unusable in landscape with my Pixel.

Nuxus cell phones that are blocked by google or LG ?

Hi F1x,
I read all the post. This app seems very promising.
I downloaded the application to Play and I installed it. I have exactly the same problem as "prnorm". I have a Nexux 5x with android 7.1.2 and a Chinese car radio that runs with android 6.0.
Is Nuxus cell phones that are blocked by google or LG ?
I hope you will succeed in debugging for all cell phones. :good:
