Hi all!
Just a quick question about mircast, I've seen the XZ supports miracast which I am happy about. When I heard about the Nexus 4 having it and what it did I was really looking forward to the 'mirroring' feature most of all, I didn't get a N4 but got a Note 2 at the time....this doesn't have miracast built in but has Samsung's Allcast feature, which is kinda the same but requires a Allcast dongle too.
Now my questions are with the XZ when I get it on Friday (woop!), I would like to use miracast 'mirroring' feature with my TV (hopefully) has anyone got any experience with miracast at all?
I know I will probably need to buy a mircast dongle for it to work as my TV Pananasonic TX-L42ET5B doesn't support it, so do Panasonic do a miracast dongle at all as I can't find one. I also have a Sony BDV-EF200 BD 2.1 Home Cinema System and this doesn't support miracast either, so any idea's of a dongle again??
Thanks in advance as I know I might be asking a lot here.
The Netgear PTV3000 works with all TV's (HDMI output). Make sure to update it to the latest firmware version and you can use it to Miracast just fine.

So it appears the PTV3000 is not available to buy in the UK, hopefully will be soon!

Are Miracast and Mirrorlink the same (ie just Sony giving Miracast its own name)?
I expect the 2013 Bravia TVs will support this natively.

Not heard of mirrorlink, isn't it a different?
Well that's what I am wondering as the Xperia Z has MirrorLink and no mention of Miracast! The Nexus 4 has Miracast.

Hi.
Does anybody use an gamepad made for android devices? I'd love to play some old games for PSX but also I don't like using buttons on the screen. I just replaced my old Xperia Play with Xperia Z and already am missing physical buttons...
How about MOGA or Gametel? Will Xperia Z fit in them? Or maybe someone knows even better gamepads?
Dualshock 3, working excellent for me. Using the sixaxis controller app. Haven't tried it using the official Sony app though.

Well, DualShock 3 is working very well, but I'm interested in gamepads that can be connected to the phone. Just like MOGA.

What's the benefit of this over a Dualshock controller other than that connecting clip/stand? I mean, I understand the frustration of trying to find a place to rest the phone while playing, but is there any other benefit?

Moga has a Xbox-like controller setup, people who use Xbox 360 controllers more often would prefer this as they are more used to it. Others prefer dualshock for the same reason - they are used to the controls.
As for me, I just got my MOGA Pro last Saturday and I can say that it makes gaming a whole lot easier. the only thing I actually feel quite annoyed is the fact that the clip is going over my power and volume buttons, it can be a pain if you want to lock your phone or even change the volume since you would need to pull the clip to release the grip onto your phone then you can press a button then you need to let go of the clip so it snaps firmly back in place. Sometimes, the power button can accidentally get triggered by the clip.
I just uploaded a mini-review of the gameklip, you guys can check it out below:

For those who've used the DualShock 3 with the Z, is there a way to connect w/o a special USB-OTG cord or rooting? Like, could I connect both to my laptop with the individual usb cords they came with, instead of buying another new one?
Sorry if this is considered a hijack...
The only cable you'll need is USB-otg cable to connect it for the first time. If you're running 4.2.2 it'll be the only thing you'll have to do.

The native Sony implementation requires you to have a USB OTG cable or a mini USB to micro USB cable to pair the DS3 with the Z.
If you're rooted however you can use the Sixaxis controller app to pair without the need for a USB OTG cable.

I use the moga pro and once you figure out gamekeyboard it works just as good if not better than ps3 controller but I'm sure others would disagree,
Just needs more support from big game devs like more gameloft games and I would love glu games to be supported, but it's only going to get better as game devs support more controllers and HID, love playing DS games with my moga though I can play all the pokemons I never played now! (using draStic)

Unofficial controllers
Hi, does anyone know if can I connect other unofficial controllers to my Xperia Z3 Compact? I dont have the original PS3 controller from Sony and I want to buy a cheaper, unofficial one.
Do you know if will it work? Do I have to do a different process to connect it?
Thanks
Hi,
I spotted in settings option which allow to connect PS3 controller to our XSP.
When I started that it ask for plug controller over usb.
I thinking maybe to buy one and use for gaming. So my question is that any one try to connect controller and how it working. Can I play games as MC4 using that?
Does it need to be connect over usb or later it is connect by Bluetooth?
My previous phone was Xperia Play and in some games I miss touchpads and separate buttons.
Thanks

You can do it using your PC and a ps3 controller usb cable (a bit hard to set up bluetooth adresses and you need to have the app) or you can just buy for a few dollars an OTG cable like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1PC-OTG-Connect-Kit-Adapter-Converter-USB-Female-Cable-For-Samsung-Phones-Black-/130798950371?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item1e743997e3
and pair the controller to your device!

Thanks for reply but I rather looking for more information what controller actually do. I connected Wii remote and can use in emulators when map keys but no luck when using games like NOVA 3, MC 4 etc.
I wonder if it done by Sony so maybe it will be recognise by those games and allow me play without touch the screen.
I have Usb OTG adapter but as I said I don't have PS3 pad and thinking to buy one but wonder if is it worth to do that.
PS3 cost around £30 for that money I can buy something like that: http://www.mogaanywhere.com/

Hmmm ok then . But i would not suggest you buying those Sony like fake controllers they suck big time!!! I got one and it broke after 2 weeks total waste of money!!!!
You should go with the Original Sony PS3 Sixxaxis!
Will fake controller works on PS certified on Z1?
i want to know it before i buy the controller...
is there any one that have ps3 tried to pair with Z1 using fake controller?
They will not as they don't recognize the protocol via USB Cable and the Bluetooth is the worse I ever see. If you want really enjoy the game buy the Original Joypad and connect it to Z1 via Bluetooth with Sixaxis. The best.
Source: I had fake one, sold for genuine, just troubles.
Thanks for the reply..
I got one and works perfectly with my phone..
Xperia Z1

Do you mean the fake one?
So i just bought the wrong version of the sony mh1
i shudve bought mh1C for my Z1..
because the mh1 doesnt support "sony" devices
only supports "sony erricson" devices..
is there any "fix" or soultion to make it works ?
thankyou
That's because the pins are inverted... Old sony phones before Xperia S has a different phone jack hence it's not compatible. Although there are converters sold for that. Just forgot the name :/
Use the aux cable extender.

i bought a converter but it seems i have bought the wrong one :/
could anyone point me which one is the right converter ?
thankyou
