I received my Sony IM10 Miracast-adapter yesterday.
Unpacked it and connected it to my Samsung UE TV: Samsung switched on by itself showing the IM10 start screen ..........
So far, so good, I was happy ..............
Connection to my ZU and Z1 via NFC worked flawless (on first connection You just have to verify by pressing the button on the IM10). Works also nicely with the NFC - tag provided together with the IM10. Connecting the devices takes about 15 seconds.
So far, so good, I was VERY happy .................
And then came the disappoinments (setup: ZU/Z1 2m away from each other and 10 cm: both the same):
1. Base lag: 0,5 - 1 seconds
2. Sliding through the screens results in highly pixelated respresentations on TV-screen
3. Writing emails and watching static webpages (Chrome Browser) has just lag, scrolling longer webpages results in pixelated and sometimes frozen representations on TV-screen
4. Music streaming: is IMPOSSIBLE due to crackling and "swallowed" passages
5. Video streaming (Youtube, vids taken with ZU- and Z1-cam) results in freezes every 60-120 seconds, at faster movements in the vid pixelation is beyond recognition on the TV-screen, sound is "swallowed" for 5-10 seconds (and I was just watching a stand-up comedy vid on Youtube where almost NOTHING moves). Twice connection fully dropped and had to be reestablished via NFC.
6. Photos: quality is desastrous: I compared the same photo on Picasa once from the Samsung Smart-Hub Picasa App and streamed from ZU/Z1 Picasa-App: the quality via IM10 reminded me of the "good old" 640x480 px-days. Same with the original photos taken with ZU or Z1.
Conclusion.
IF IM10 would cost 10-15€ the money would be wasted anyway, but it wouldn´t hurt. 99.- € is robbery for such a non-quality, not even providing basic flawless function as promised.
IM10: a complete desaster .................

well that sucks! Was looking into this. Thanks for the heads up. Have you plugged it into your PC, and done an update?? via PCC?
No update available for IM10 so far worldwide (searched all Sony-Support-Websites) ......................
No OTA-Update available to 4.3 so far for ZU/Z1 in GER/AUT
Thanks for the information, as I was going to purchase too. Is the device firmware upgradeable? As at least sony is updating the Qx10 and other devices after they rushed them to market, with basic functions missing. So perhaps they will update too. Will hold of purchasing thanks to your.findings. It's a pity Sony take so long to release and then then don't have the basics! Hope for you they do update!

Netgear ptv3000
Sorry if I'm off topic here.
I was looking to get a Sony IM10 if it would provide a service beyond that of the NETGEAR PTV3000, but it seems worse as described here..
I have a NETGEAR PTV3000 and use it with an XPERIA M (C1905) which has an Adreno 305 GPU.
PTV3000 Firmware: v2.4.26 (latest as of 19/01/2014)
XPERIA M has a 480x854 pixel 4" screen (FWVGA).
Phone has good 5GHz WiFi signal with PTV3000 box not more than four metres away.
I use a Logitech USB K800 keyboard and M950 mouse.
I am testing with a DELL U2410 24" Full-HD IPS monitor, but have also used a Sony Bravia 40" HDTV (Sans Full-HD)
Images do look better on the Sony Bravia 40" HDTV screen compared to the Full-HD WUXGA (1920x1200) monitor resolution.
I have a 720p mp4 video with 2ch audio, we use to test Android phone builds and it can be seen to be very slightly 'choppy', however the audio track is maintained through the video. The image is still watchable, but you perceive it to be ever so slightly unnatural.
Watched another video with following format:
Video: MKV H.264 25fps 720x576(HW acc)
Audio: AC3 (44.1KHz) 6 ch
The video was watchable, but there was a very sight frame drop, which is noticeable throughtout the video.
Streamed some .flac encoded music at 1.4Mbps using Neutron Music Player from my NAS
Using Sennheiser headphones plugged into my DELL monitor 3.5mm output port, music sounds very good
No skip, loss of sound, breakup or anything.
If I edit a OfficeSuite Pro MSword document, there is a noticeable lag in typing, but it's not a problem with a keyboard.
Mouse pointer action doesn't feel very natural and speeding it up and/or slowing it down didn't find a natural sweet spot.
Mouse is still quite usable, but not quite natural with pointer motion.
On a 24" IPS Full-HD monitor, pictures and images are viewable, with quality maintained for large images and upscaled for low quality images.
The screen icons look like someone draw them in with a child's colouring in crayon.
I am not sure if this is a FWVGA screen being upscaled to a WUXGA (1920x1200) monitor resolution, or if it's the PTV3000 downgrading the image, I would suggest is the monitor upscaling low res images in the case of Android screen icons.
"swishing" through screens was not a problem and no pixelation or artifacts during transition.
Youtube videos are quite watchable, but some seem to have a lag.
On my PC the same videos had the same lag as my XPERIA M.
So one may have to be careful as to how much lag is introduced by the Internet and not Miracast
No freezes or audio stop/start noted over an hour of testing different scenarios with the NETGERA PTV3000.
So in summary I would suggest the NETGEAR PTV3000 has a slight edge over the Sony IM10 as described by @troed on an XPERIA M
The one area that the NETGEAR PTV3000 does appear to preform considerably better as described here, is streaming audio.

Hello,
have been updated since then? I hesitated with PTV300 netgear and Sony IM10, I think I'll take the Netgear, browsing internet on Google Chrome is it fluid? Thank you for your answers
as far as i know miracast is more slower than mirroring., ive tried it to all kinds of smart tv and even miracast adapters
Difference Between all this?

I'm confused ... what really is the difference between all these transmission mode?
- Chromecast (I owns and I can not do "mirroring" with ultra Xperia Z) but the nexus 5 can do it, so to see ...
- Miracast (with SonyIM10 or Netgear PTV3000)
what is the best mode of transmission? most fluid, the most reactive?
thank you

Miracast is just mirroring screen of your phone\tablet\notebook. What you see on phone, you will see on display.
Chromecast is transfer data like a YouTube video direct to Chromecast, which is decode it. But you cant mirror full screen of phone, from PC you can only mirror one tab of Google Chrome (and it will be laggy).
Sony IM10 new update ??
Hello, owners of Sony IM10 have they had the updates? the mirror mode is always disastrous after a few months on the market?
Thanks you, have a good day
IM 10 is good for TV and movie mirroring
Hi
I also have IM10 and I watch TV broadcast from my Sony Xperia Z1 mobile phone mirrored to my Panasonic TV, using Sony IM10. Sony IM10 uses your WIFI to broadcast, and the quality and speed of your WIFI network at home will therefore impact on how well IM10 performs in your home.
I also had pixellation in the beginning. Then I upgraded my wireless router to support the fastes wireless speed with 5Ghz. band. Now there is no pixellation. Movies playes smoothly as it if where directly from a BD-player or TV. Therefore, it seems you have not fast enought WIFI equipment. Also be sure that your mobile phone is connected to the 5Ghz band, and not to the 2,4Ghz band, which is much slower.
For music playoff I would recommend Sony BM10, which connects your phone to the BM10 device by using bluetooth, whereas th IM10 device use your WIFI network in addition the bluetooth.
Hope this helps. I have no problems using Sony IM10 for watching movies or BM10 for music playoff.

Does anyone or has anyone ever used the HDMI cable with their X2 and noticed lag when playing a movie on a tv? I'm trying to watch a 720p HD movie and its lagging on my LCD tv but looks just fine on the phone. I bought the cable with the phone when it first came out and honestly this is the first time i've actually used it.
I got cable from Amazon though it would
be cool to see on big screen.
I connected it once to my 23" LG LED monitor.
The thrill was short lived no lag, picture not
that Impressive. Now I have a $10 shoelace lol.
like video lagging behind the audio? jittery video? wtf do you mean by "lag"?
let's say you run HDMI from the phone to the TV and then plug audio from the headphone jack into a stereo receiver, your audio will be getting to your ears anywhere from 55ms to 500ms before the video hits the screen, that's kinda the nature of all these newfangled flatpanel HDTVs (especially LCDs) there is an inherent delay between the video signal going into the TV vs. when it is actually displayed on the panel.
here's a good test for your TV's "lag" get one of those cheap battery operated atari games (the ones built into a joystick w/ the yellow red and white cables coming out) hook that up to your TV, you'll IMMEDIATELY notice the amount of latency present in your TV.
I think this is probably one case where the phone is not the problem, it's your TV. you can go into the TV's setup menu and look for a "game mode" which basically bypasses extra picture features and filters that for the most part make your picture look like crap.
but, you really need to define what you mean by "lag" 'cause I could be way off in left field here, but mine looks just fine on my panasonic plasma or my samsung LCD monitor when I use an HDMI to DVI adapter, and I've plugged it into all kinds of other displays (I use it as an HDMI signal generator almost everyday at work) granted I rarely watch video on it using the other displays (usually test patterns for projector alignment and calibrating video walls) but whenever I'm in a hotel with a TV that has HDMI, I use it, and it works just as good as my computer does. (but I do always set the TV up properly)
oh, and if you have any of that 120hz/240hz smoothmotion garbage enabled on your TV, turn that crap off.
I have the same problem!
But I have got another mobile i9105p, I know isn't the correct site, but, when I plug my MHL to the TV, the image shows a bit of DELAY, and when I run an application, is more like 500ms to 600ms...
I don't know if the problem is the mobile Broadcom Video core IV, or the MHL adaptar I bought from china.
Greetings.
Hi there,
I was checking the HDMI out on Xperia S and I came up with this. I changed the resoultions from 720p to 1080p , i didn't saw any difference. Does this really change the resolution of HDMI out? Anyone tried it?
The phone still outputs 720p scaled to 1080p. It just does the scaling for the tv. Duplicating a display is easy, running two would be a challenge for a phone GPU.
I tired 720p and 1080p, there was no difference i saw. my monitor is 23", maybe scaling would better work with 50". Right?

No, you misunderstand me. Its 720P either way because the screen on the phone is 720. It'll always be 720.
If you set it to 720P: Phone -720->Monitor-Upscales("stretches")-You see it.
If you set it to 1080P: Phone-Upscales-1080->Monitor-You see it.
Either way its just stretching 720p. At the same viewing distance it will look WORSE on the bigger screen. That said, I watched an SD movie with the gf the other night on a 50" tv using my XS. We were about 8 feet away and it looked fine. Using it on my desktop 22" it is kinda noticeable though. Not too bad though:
that was well explained. Thanks.

Does your TV go to 24p when you plug your phone in? I couldnt tell from your video, mine goes to 24p and has massive input lag which makes games unplayable!
Also if you play music does the equiliser have any effect on the sound? Mine has zero bass and the equiliser has no effect at all
Go to the service menu. There are advanced settings for HDMI out. You can set the resolution up to [email protected] hz.
The equalizer is an another story. It has nothing to do with equalizer. The phone applies some kind of high-pass filter for the HDMI out sound as if it thinks it plays the sound through its own external speakers. The cut-off frequency seems to be around 100 hz or so. This is some kind of software bug and I hope Sony will fix it!

Works fine. No noticeable delay. That was a monitor (Dell ST2210) so no audio(used a pair of headphones to just play in the background for the camera).
When I used it on a 50" LG TV the sound seemed fine. Was just a movie but there was some music and I didnt hear anything unusual(I'm a DJ so I'd pick up on it rather quick).
From other threads it seems that some tvs just dont play nice, try a few others and see what happens.

Well it depends on TV speakers but normally you shouldn't be able to tell the ~100hz cut-off on the tv since the TV Speakers aren't exactly made for low frequency sound
I'm connecting my phone to the Sony DA2400ES AV Receiver which in turn connected to the tv and a good sound system. I was planning on using this phone to bit stream flac's LPCM through receiver since my receiver doesn't have a way to connect a media storage. But unfortunately the sound is FUBARed

Yeah, the reset sucks My phone had .67 since the day I bought it. The sound was the same.
On a side note. To my knowledge 24hz is a standard for movies (24 frames per second) so every TV should support 24hz. But on the PC monitors it is the other way. 60hz is a standard for LCD monitor and 24hz support is optional by specifications. So yea, it is possible that the phone, being connected to the monitor, first of all tries to set 24hz and fails, then sets 60hz.
I hope there will be some way in ICS to configure audio/video output and to save those settings.
Edit: Oh! I also forgot to mention that I started a topic on the HDMI audio issue on the official Sony Xperia forum and Sony representative confirmed this behavior. He also launched an investigation! As of now I cant post links here (need 6 posts) but if you check Sony forums and search for the topic named "HDMI audio problem (high-pass filter?!)" in the "Xperia S" directory, you should easily find it! Right now it is on the second page.
For a personal point of view I let the tv handle upscaling, it seems to do it better than the phone.
As for sound, that is plain nasty on hdmi. If I use a standard 3.5 mm lead it is great, even on the tv, but yeah, hdmi is just bad. No bass, it just sounds tinny and generally low quality.

Yep 24p is for movie playback, not all sets suport it though which leaves panning scenes looking ropey on blu-rays etc.
Im playing the sound though an expensive amp and speakers via the TV of course and have no low freq at all

Yeah. And don't forget that by using 3.5mm jack you're sticking to the phone's built in questionable amplifier. tbh I'm not one of those guys running around with BEATSPEWPEWWOAH and lurking the forums in search of doubtful software equalizers like srs or the like.

i opened a thread for this same problem, but i don't find any solution.
Also there are many android mobile phone having this audio issue (like motorola, acer and other)
waiting for a sony support answer
I posted these questions in AT/T forum but got no answer probs due to lack of consumers actually using the official adaptor, so would love to ask u guys here since im really aiming at using the cable for presentations etc (and spent 50 dollars on it);
1) How do i fix the borders cut off in landscape mode when connected to TV?? If u look at youtube videos every user regardless of TVs have the screen bit cut off even thou phone's resolution is 16:9 720p?
2) Why does it display in 1080p not 720p (screen on galaxy s3 is 720p)? (my laptop using same hdmi cable without adaptor shows as 720p on TV) id like to be able to adjust it
3) My galaxy s3 heats up to 55 Celsius when playing with the phone and mirroring games. Is this normal? (although my alienware laptop heats up same also when connected to TV)
4) There is a abit of a lag between TV and a phone, the phone also seems to lag more when connected to TV (my laptop doesnt experience this)
Bump
Most TVs default mode is to cut off the borders, I find that odd with HDTV because it's digitial. With the analog TVs they would cut off a little border because the edges of the signal weren't always of the best quality, and it makes the picture look a little "bigger" too. On my Samsung TV there is a "P.Size" button (picture size I presume), and I push that until "screen fit" comes up, which shows the full image. On other TVs I've heard using the HDMI port labeled for PC/laptops will come by default setup to not cut the borders, if it's not labeled that way it's normally the port that shares or is right next to the DVI port.
I have the 1080p display issue with the horrible lag as you've seen. If you come across a solution let me know, because it drives me nuts and some games are basically unplayable which is one of the major reasons I got my MHL adapter. For videos and web it works well enough, since a video isn't interactive you don't notice the delay.
The heating up is probably normal, a phone a very dense compared to a PC and doesn't have fans like a PC has, and I bet the display cloning and charging takes up a bit of power.
Just got my new sammy tv with mhl support and more stuff, but have the same problem as you guys. Choppy playback at 1080p30, that really sucks. It shall be at 1080p60. I will give it a try with the other 2 hdmi slots, maybe it will work then. If not, I'm screwed and have to sell my hdmi-mhl-adaptor -.-'''
Really not cool and I cant explain it to myself, why it shouldnt work ((

It seems max output is 1080p30, yet the phone is really nice and smooth on a tv with 720p or 1080i, as it's 60hz. Really annoying that there aren't any settings for the HDMI output to simply select an output resolution!
Wondering if anyone has any or experience on the topic. I'd love to take advantage of the screen mirroring built into this device to play my SNES on my HDTV. Despite being a wifi enabled smart TV, I don't think my vizio M3D550KD has WiFi direct, and thusly can't get it to connect. So I guess my only is to get some sort of miracast receiver. Has anyone used one of these products like the netgear pvt3000 or actiontec screenbeam pro? Do they work reliably well with satisfactory framerates from the xtz? Any experience or input would be greatly appreciated..
I got quite new Panasonic GT50 plasma and screen mirroring does not work. Pictures, movies and music streaming via dlna works perfectly though.
Interested also about this. I have LG 60" plasma without any fancy functions (hey 60" for 900$) so I bought WDTVlive hoping that I could make mirroring work. Alas I can get pictures mirrored but for every video file I try it fails. Same problem from my HTC one.
It is possible that I use YouTube app on tablet and wdtvlive and then play YouTube videos on TV. Unfortunately western digital software is so horrible that the box restarts randomly. While this tablet has been one of the most positive surprises I got this year the wdtvlive must be biggest disappointment. I wish they will have some firmware upgrade for it.

If you want to play games on your big screen, you might get better results with an MHL cable. Even if you get the screen mirroring to work, there might be some lag.
I just got one from Monoprice.com for $10
Sony's miracast is pretty badly implemented, once you connect to miracast (screen mirroring) you are force to disconnected from wifi. Which makes it pretty useless, unless you are gonna stream your youtube from 3G or LTE. It was never a problem with my samsung's device (note 2, note 10.1) where you can connect to miracast and wifi simultaneously.
The Beelink X2 is an affordable TV box. It does have some limitations, but considering the low price it is a decent device.
The box is made out of plastic and it is slim enough to look good sitting somewhere next to tv set. It has a LED on the front that turns either blue or red depending if the box is on or off.
It has an HDMI and an optical audio output on the back along two usb ports. It takes an sd card but i only find that useful for increasing it's limited 8gb storage capacity. It can be connected to the Internet through a network cable or through wifi. The wifi has a good range and i didn't encounter any issues with it.
The box comes pre-installed with Android 4.4. Scrolling through screens is smooth but playing large mkv files doesn't go that smooth. Watching youtube videos at 1080p is not smooth at all. Changing the resolution to 720p improves the smoothness while watching youtube videos. Kodi works fairly well with watching different streams.
Even though it has some limitations while watching large files, at $36 USD it makes an excellent and affordable media centre. Check out the link in the video's description if you are interested in this device.
