No Chromecast here. Have an apple tv. My tv is an LG 60lm7200. I cannot find a way to wirelessly mirror my phone screen to my TV. Any ideas?
Your lg tv may be miracast ready or there may be a software upgrade to support it. if it does support miracast then all you need to do is go to settings\share &connect\Miracast set to on and search and connect.
if it is not miracast ready you can buy a miracast dongle from amazon and such.
AllCast from clockwork mod in playstore will let you send videos and pics to your airplay device (appletv) but miracast will allow you to send your entire desktop.
I would go down the miracast route.
Tv is not miracast capable, smart share app is a place holder. All cast is only local files correct? Looking for live mirroring

I edited my previous post.
you could go the hardware method using a cable with an hdmi out called a slimport adapter.
We have been having great success and a lot of fun mirroring the G3 to the audio receiver and then on out to the TV via a Chromecast on HDMI.
Popcorn Time !
When I tried that on my Nexus5 it did great for a while then got hot and stopped. No such problem with the G3, strangely.

Hello everyone, greetings from Poland .
I would like to connect my G3 to LG Flatron W2361V PC monitor because I want to watch videos recorded with this phone (unfortunately, my netbook isn't to powerfull and I can't even watch movie recorded in 720p on it). I have a few questions:
1. What exactly do I need - MHL micro USB HDMI cable (like this one: CLICK) or something else? Allegro in Poland is like Ebay in US.
2. Will I be able to treat the phone like gamepad - game image on the monitor, and control the game on phone?
3. What about watching movies via third party app, such as MX Player? Will this be also possible?
I think this is all for now. I will be very pleased for any help and suggestions about what to buy.
Thank you in advance
1. You need slimport
2+3 it's possible
So I need something like this - CLICK and HDMI cable like this one - CLICK ?
One of the reasons I got a tablet was so I could transfer my photos from my DSLR Nikon D60 via USB OTG so that I could appreciate them on such a bigger and better display without having to lug around something bully like a laptop.
I was very frustrated when I found out just today that the Sony Xperia Z3TC does not play nice with my camera. Using Nexus Media Importer, troubleshooting tells me that the tablet can't open files from the Nikon D60 (on the flip side, the tablet can at least tell what's trying to communicate with it). Besides Nexus Media Importer, I've tried installing other apps like Stickmount and camera importing apps (eg. RawVision, Rawpal Gallery, RawDroid, and DslrDashboard). None of them work. I'm running on a prerooted stock Sony Lollipop firmware.
My current work around is: importing my photos from the camera to my Nexus 5 (using the stock media importer which pops up as soon as the camera is connected via USB OTG) then transferring them to the tablet using SuperBeam. I hate having to need to do this before I can appreciate them on the Z3TC.. anybody have a solution to this? ?
EDIT: The problem is not that USB OTG does not work, but that the tablet is unable to read the files of a connected device if it is set up to connect as an MTP device and not USB Mass Storage. I want it to work as an MTP device like it does on my Nexus 5.
Hi,
I'm on the same boat as you. I bought this tablet as I was tired of not being able to directly import photos from my DSLR on my older LG G Pad 8.3, and since I know my HTC M8 using almost the same Qualcomm SoC supports USB Host OTG I was pretty sure this tablet also would. However that does not seem to be possible with current roms or kernels. I flashed CM12 in hope of fixing it, with no success I'm afraid.
USB OTG itself works (at least on stock ROM), although MTP does not seem to work. Can you maybe tell your camera to use USB Mass Storage mode?

This seems to be the root of the problem. I don't know if it's the same on KitKat, but the Z3TC cannot seem to run/read accessory devices via MTP on Lollipop. The tablet can read them only if they are set to connect as USB Mass Storage. My old DSLR does not have the option to choose how it is recognized, so no. This is very upsetting.
I have to connect it to my Nexus 5 (because it works as MTP) then transfer them to the tablet, which totally defeated the purpose of me spending money on this in the first place. Is there no way to make MTP work at all?? :crying:
Update:
I just found out today that the stock Android Media Importer does indeed work in Sony's stock Android 4.4.4 KitKat ROM, as I decided to revert from CyanogenMod 12.1. Trying to get back to stock Lollipop and see if it still works. Will update again soon.
Update2: Yep, Sony really messed something up in their Lollipop update. Reading MTP devices via USB-OTG doesn't work. Guess I'll be sticking to KitKat -_-

How About you buy the smallest card reader you can find? I think it's a better solution since you can move around (without the risk of dragging the dslr and falling) comfortably if like you want to show your snaps.

This can be done easily if you have a computer along with you. You can:
1. Directly connect the camera and computer via the cable that came with the camera.
2. View the camera's DCIM folder on your computer.
3. Copy and save the photos on your computer.
4. Copy photos from computer to Android phone or tablet directly.
Here the full tutorial to copy camera photos directly to your Android with OTG:
Step 1. The USB Connection
To start with, directly connect your android phone to the OTG. Then, plug in your camera to the OTG with USB cable came with your camera.
When you connect your camera (make sure it's on!) to your phone, a little USB symbol should show up at the top of the screen.
Step 2. The App
Download CR2-Thumbnailer from Play Store. Then install the app on your Android phone. (If you have a Nikon DSLR, see the NEF-Thumbnailer.)
tep 3. Transfer Photos from Camera to Android
Press the blue camera icon on your phone and navigate down to the folder containing all your images. You can view the thumbnail by default. If you tap an image, it will be open in full screen.
After selecting a few photos, tap the menu button. In the pop-up window, you can either choose "Save" to extract the jpeg and saving it to the phone or select "Backup" to copy all the raw file to your Android phone.
Now, you can view photos on your Android device and share them on social networks immediately. The USB OTG Stick could be very handy while travelling.
More than a way to send photos from digital camera to iPhone, a USB OTG stick can be used to transfer files between smartphones. Just have a try!

Hi , I am struggling to find some definitive information with regards to the Chromecast 2015 edition , basically the main function I require , is to be able to stream media / videos (all types of format) from my phone to my Non Smart Plasma TV , I have a few devices , one by a LG G4 , A Asus Z580c tablet and a Lenovo Windows Tablet type device.
Does anyone have any experience with this ? I would like 720 and 1080 video to stream from my SD card with no need to worry about Lip Sync and video stutters.
The main devices to be used will be my LG G4 and the Asus Z580c.
Advice please , my finger is hovering over the buy button......But I appear to be unable to push the button due to a lack of peace of mind that the ChromeCast 2015 model will do exactly what I need it to do !!!
TYI
