One reason I got this tablet was to try miracast. I picked up a Panasonic. Blue ray player that supports miracast. It was easy to configure and works great! I don't know why but was surprised that it sends the sound also.

Google is your friend:

Isn't this Miracast that requires the screen to be on all the time ?

Yes, it appears that the screen must be on to enable screen mirroring. That is OK for me. I have it on right now with my 50" plasma TV and using my bluetooth keyboard. I just use the tablet kind of like a mouse pad since I don't know how to naviigate to everything with the keyboard.

Can use app Screen Standby to cut the signal to the screen. Funny is you can still tap

Title says it all. Anyone have success pairing a nook color with a ps3 (over bluetooth)? I'd like to use BlueputDroid with it for a handy keyboard.

the BT range on our Nook Colors is about 6 inches
I wonder if there is any kind of relay signal boost gadget doodad out there somewhere?

Yeah, well, I'll deal with that when the time comes. Right now I'm having trouble pairing them when I lean the NC against the side of the PS3. Anyone out there gotten farther than me?

LMAO Is it really 6 inches? I've been planning on doing this too so I could get rid of the 2nd keyboard but oh well. There goes that.
So I already have my phone paired to my Nexus for Tablet Talk. I am going to be getting a Bluetooth Headset, along with a Keyboard, and eventually my Smart watch. Yes! Radioactive! So my question was can the Nexus support all these devices working at the same time?
Anyone?
I would guess not that many people have so much.
I have mine paired with a headset, keyboard, and mouse without issue...not sure if that helps your case though...

Is it possible to use a Bluetooth mouse on a Motorola Xoom II, although the Xoom hasn't got a cursor is it possible
Thanks

Not sure about a mouse but...
I have a Stingray that ran stock ICS 4.0.4 and now is rooted with CM 10.0.0 with JB 4.1.2.
For the last 2 years, I've used an "Apple Magic Trackpad" as a mouse. Finger movement on the Trackpad causes a blue "halo" to appear on the Xoom screen. I also use an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.
Now, there may be other options but Apple was the only "Bluetooth" input devices when I was looking.

As long as it has anything above android 3.2 it should work.

you can enable pointer location in developer options too.
or even use Droidmote on your touchscreen phone and use that as a mousepad

Absolutely! Moto made their own even and they're really very good. You can buy just the keyboard and mouse together or they do a work and play kit that includes a dock with 3 USB ports, analogue audio out and mini HDMI plus your HDMI cable, a high power adaptor the keyboard and the mouse. The cursor appears once the mouse is active.
Good post. I forgot Moto had their own kit.

I thought it would be kind of cool, so I went through the programming and set it up for my LG V and my time warner high def cable box.
Everything seemed to work, but now all it will do is change the channel on the box. The volume doesn't work, and if I go to turn off the TV it comes up with a screen asking which device I want to control but won't let me select either one.
I'm using it on a Samsung tv and a Comcast set top box, and it's working great for me.
ILO tv & comcast box. works great.
Lg and Panasonic tvs, both with com cast boxes are a no go.

Comcast box and Hisense tv, working.
Also have tvs at work, LG, all working (Around 10) with the same code sent on one of the tvs.
Pretty happy with this as now I can control my work TVs without having to fumble around with remotes.
Two different Samsung TV models & two FIOS Multi-Room DVR's...all working great. Volume doesn't work, but that's because it's controlled by my surround sound system.
Mine's the same way. Got cable working but now no volume.
It works with my LG TV. I have a Comcast X1 and am able to change channels, but a lot of other buttons like menu and DVR don't work. Going to give the setup another go tomorrow.

I actually disabled it. I never used the app but apparently it was running in the background and I kept getting force close messages.
I can get everything to work beside the volume on my Demon AV receiver. I can get it to turn on and off but not the volume. Can anyone give me advice on doing this?

Try again man but this time instead of picking comcast for the brand of set top box, go to other brands and scroll to find the actual company who made the box. For example I have comcast xfyinity cable as well and my 1st set up failed selecting "comcast" as the brand so I looked at my receiver and it was made by Scientific Atlantic or some shat like that lol. But it worked choosing it that way. Hope this helps u?

Hello. I know Samsung dropped support for MHL supposedly so people wanting to use their phones on their TVs could just buy Samsung TVs and cast their screens over using adapters. First of all, that's so lame, second of all there has to be another way to cast my phone on my 60inch (not a Samsung, a Sony) without having to hack a Chromecast or Fire adapter. With my Sony z3 I had a mhl cable, I could connect my Bluetooth controller and play NBA Jam on my TV. Does anyone else know another way to do this on the s7?

Why would you need to hack a chromecast?

It was poor sarcasm i guess. I didn't literally mean hack a chromcast....
The Chromecast app has native support for casting your entire phone screen to a Chromecast. As long as your internet connection is solid, there will be little to no lag. It was an experimental feature for a while, but has seen much refinement.
Also if you have a smart tv there almost always is a screen cast option just they all use different names for the method
