I am lookung for a cheap device with WiFi display feature - maybe Miracast
I wonder if a special hardware is it necessary for it? Or maybe Android 4.2 has this feature out of the box in any device?
I think it needs special hardware
Sent from my PIXELDROID HD2 using XDA
works
u dont have to have special hardware i think.. i got a china phone with 4.2.1 and it works with a chineese miracast dongle.. but my problem now is that u cannot have bluetooth and miracast on at the same time.. i am looking for a workaround :S

Hello,
I have an HTC Inspire 4g running Mustaavalkosta's unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM. Everything works great, except my Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000, which is an HID Bluetooth keyboard (no SPP). I get a proper PIN exchange and it pairs with my phone successfully, but I can't actually type anything with the keyboard, and it does not appear in the Languages and Input section of the Settings app. The keyboard itself is good because I can use it with my laptop and an iPad.
I've tried apps like BlueInput, MyBlueCon, and Bluetooth keyboard easyconnect, but all fail to make a connection with my keyboard. In the case of BlueInput, I get a message that "this Android does not support Bluetooth HID."
Any other workarounds I could try? Or am I missing something really, really obvious?
(I have a feeling this is a ROM problem and I should be posting in its development thread, but I do not have the permissions.)
I just installed Cyanogenmod 7 stable, and the keyboard does work with this ROM. So does Cyanogenmod 10 just not have HID Bluetooth support? That would be a shame...

Bump! Running CM 10.1 (the TeamCanjica mod) on a Galaxy Ace 2. Phone can seemingly pair with the HID devices which worked in stock rom, but no luck in connecting to them. It just says connecting and never gets connected.
This rom, in contrast to the stock rom, is really fast, stable and nice. But the possible abscence of BT HID is a bummer. Is it often an intended omission from the CM development team and if so does anyone know why? Does anyone know of possible workarounds? On an older device with Android 2.x, I think I installed some third-party app which worked rather nice.
Pairing keyboard Oreo, same problem

I have used a Logitec dinovo mini for years on Android without using the dongle, but now under Android 8 Oreo, it seems to connect asking for pin and registers, but it does not do anything, and the connect light on the device goes on blinking. If I connect via USB C- OTG - dongle, it works fine, but that is useless as I need the USB C port for HDMI to TV to display the fantastic Linux like desktop (Huawei Mate 10 Pro).
I just got a Netgear Push2TV 3000, which not only encompases WiDi, but Miracast support in this version.
From what my indersstand is though, is that both these WiDi and Miracast technologies are basically just wireless HDMI anyway.
My question is if it's possible to come up with a mod to work to allow any (or at least most) rooted phones with a ROM like CM that intergrate Miracast into their settings for every build?
Just wondering if this was possible. This would be a really welcomed feature,
PS...I did try doing just that with my droid 4 running CM 10,1 with its wifi direct setting..it said it was connectining, anazingly...but nothing else after that. =/
Anyway, if anybody know if **** is at all possoble accomplish, please let me know, if you could. Thanks.
Hey there. Connecting via WiFi Direct through the Settings menu only sets up the layer 3 connection. To make a function like Miracast work, you need a Miracast-supported app to sit on top of WiFi Direct. MiraCast is a standard that is certified by the same governing body as the one that certifies WiFi Direct, so MiraCast is actually built on top of WiFi Direct. WiDi is an Intel led standard that nobody uses.
i would love to see an app capable of this be developed, it would be awesome to be able to display the screen on my phone on the TV without wires
Could someone tell me why its impossible to find a universal Bluetooth patch for EXTERNAL usb Bluetooth dongles? One that will add the full Bluetooth feature to the devices "born" without build-in Bluetooth.
We are so many that bought these Android tablets thinking that we could just plug in a Bluetooth usb dongle - for why would that feature be missing in Android, bluetooth has been around for so many years even before anyone thought of android.
So why is this left out of the kernel, it should be as basic as Wi-Fi?
Come on XDA developers - make a universal driver, then get people to test it and add their devices to the list of working.
Doesn't bluetooth work in linux? And isn't Android based on linux?
So why is it so hard to make the driver/patch?
Or is it simply that most developers think that bluetooth is obsolete - So never mind?
With kind regards

help from experts needed, TIA!!
I have a Chinese made MTK6592 phone and having problem with bluetooth pairing. When BT device has a preset pairing code of 0000, it will auto connect. However I have 2 i-Tech BT headsets that have a preset pairing code of 8888. The phone simply tells me the code is incorrect and no input window poping out.
Can anyone help me out?? thanks alot!!
Chuck

Yes, my device is running 4.2.2, thanks!
Hello ttsugar, I've read your post about the pairing issue, I've got the same too.
I've experienced this troubles with two new phones, both with MTK6592 - octacore -, when tried to connect to my car audio device: the phones are the Cubot X6, and the Star N9800; my car DVD combo player is from EONON brand.
With my old phones all worked at the top, as regards all the bluetooth functions. Still with my iNew V3 the pairing works like a delight, and all the bluetooth functions were good at all.
I surfed the internet to find a solution, tried some patches, but nothing to do with the new octacore, the song remains the same : "..,invalid passkey..." . no way to introduce the pairing code.
I don't think that the problem is the 4.2.2 android version, becouse my iNew V3 has got this version too, and works perfectly...
I really think that the problem stands in the different hardware of the bluetooth chipset included in the new MTK6592 ( they speak about 4.0 ), so the protocol doesn't communicate well with the old devices.
Hope to find a solution asap, I need the same too !
Has anyone reached out to eonon about this issue? I just purchased the cubot x6 and having the exact same problem. anyway If I find something i will let everyone know. So far I requested if any updates or patches for the head unit and if not would it be possible to change the pin number on the head unit.
