Mini projectors - LG Optimus 2x

Hello,
i'm thinking about buying one of mini projectors, but i'd like ability to connect it to the phone. Does anyone have any experience with it?
I was looking at MicroVision SHOWWX+ HDMI (http://www.microvision.com/showwxplus_hdmi/), but it states it requires HDMI 480p, which i'm not sure P990 supports.
Thanks

p990 supports even 1080p so 480p shouldnt be problem.
btw. 2 czech people chatting english

Thanks, looks like it should work. MicroVision say so as well (I've sent then mail).
Anyone with personal experience? Especially with CM?

Any projector with an HDMI input will probably work.
My 2 cents : if you are interested in games/movies don't buy anything under 800x600pixels and 200lumens. I have a acer k11 and it's ok.

[Q] hdmi to laptop

My laptop has a hdmi input. I was going to see how Earth and legend looked on a larger screen than a 4.3" screen. When I connect from the thrill to the laptop, nothing happens. Is it not possible to connect to the laptop or am I needing to click something?
I googled and youtubed but couldn't find anything related to the thrill and a laptop.
Thanks in advance.
Are you sure its an input, not an output? I have never heard of a laptop with a HDMI input, usually you want to put your laptop onto a big TV, instead of putting a peripheral onto a laptop screen.
The Thrill plays extremely nice with my 1080p Vizio. Netflix looks better using a HDMI cable and phone vs the native Netflix app on my TV. But, that might be because my phone consistently gets twice the bandwidth my home connection does.

Oh I don't know. It's a port that's labeled HDMI. I just assumed it was an input. Okay, so is there anyway to run the HDMI to the laptop or is it pretty much a TV thing?
Maybe it could be done with special software. I also have a laptop with a HDMI port. I could not find anything remotely close to an option to turn that into an input through the Windows (W 7 64 bit ultimate) settings.
I also did a few Google searches about using a laptops HDMI port for input, and the resounding response I found was that its basically unheard of. They make special adapters for that, the run over USB. The "worlds first" laptop to natively support this feature came out less than a year ago.

It's not possible to turn your output into an input. It's a hardware limitation.
in this day and age why hell don't they make the laptop screen work like an optional monitor with most new devices being digital HD it should only add little to the cost.
Ok Speaking from hardware side
Ok I work for a large Semiconductor manufacture. That HDMI port is an output. In order to use your Laptop display try to find a TV Tuner for you laptop with HDMI inputs. They maybe hard to find if at all, and if you do find them they will be pricey.
Good Luck

Depends. If the hardware doesnt allow for it then it wouldnt be possible on a software level. I assume thats what he meant. Of course with enough know how you could probably make changes on a hardware level to allow for it.

[Q] Wireless display over wifi and HTC One : miracast ?

Hi,
I'm looking for a device that would allow me to replicate the screen of my HTC one on my full HD TV.
I would like to to able to do the same thing with the same device but with my mac
I think my solution is called miracast.
Am i right ?
Which device is known to work perfectly with the HTC One ?
Any idea of how to make it work with my macbook pro and iPad ?
many thanks !
HD MediaLink
Are you talking about the HD Media Link? This little accessory mirrors the screen on the HTC One to your TV. But depending on what you're doing, your experience may vary. If you like to look at photos and basically anything still, then this will work. But any fast paced moving pixels, forget about it. The only game that I've tried that works well is angry birds, but even then it stutters. I don't know how you plan on using it, but I'd say it's not worth $90. ATT gave it away for free during their preorder promotion.
This device, to the best of my knowledge, does not work with any other device besides HTC devices with at least Sense 4.0. If you want your mac/iphone/ipod to work, you need to get an appletv. Hope this helps.

Hi,
No i'm not talking about the Media Link that seems to work only with HTC devices.
I'm talking about a miracast dongle/box that i'll be able to use with my htc one, my iPad, my S2, my macbook pro, etc
Anyone have try Netgear PTV3000 with HTC One?
According to Google, the HTC One supports Miracast, but for your Apple devices only Airplay will work. Try to find a device that supports both.

There is a device called Xiaomi Box by a chinese company which is the only known device which supports Miracast as well as Airplay. Although this device is very hard to get due to its high demand in china. Try your luck. Most other devices like Belkin screencast, netgear ptv 3000, etc only support miracast.
Samsung allshare cast dongle is miracast

I tried a Samsung allshare cast dongle with the HTC One and it seems to work. The One sees it as a miracast device and connects OK. The screen updates just fine but there is a serious audio sync issue when playing videos. I need to do some more testing.

I can confirm this does work with the HTC One
Miracast should be universal solution for Android devices, it is still young technology and there is not much information or tests and reviews.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/21/feature_wtf_is_miracast/
Bit of a flop about this is that we can't use existing technology, wireless connection, TV, PC's or consoles for that, like with DLNA. Those are designated dongles that plug into TV or monitor. If you type "miracast" in eBay search you'll find some dongles, but IMHO they are still too expensive, on par with Android media players which are far more complex and versatile. There are some hints that it can be enabled in Windows 7/8.1 using Intel WiDi but that is hardware limited. Maybe not for long

ZK-W18 Mirasharer doesn't work
just received my ZK-W18 mirasharer from Ebay and so far I am having trouble connecting it to my HTC One.
Sorry duplicate post.
There is a video here about HTC One Miracast(NETGEAR PTV3000)

Just tried it with Sony Bravia W905 and it was no-go
One sees Bravia as Miracast compatible device, Bravia registers One and then after looong waiting nothing happens. And again, and again, reboot, restart, nothing. Oh well.

Yep, I tried configuring my One with Sony W655 and same story as above, both see each other, configured but then looong wait and nothing...
Maybe 4.2.2 will fix that?
I already am on 4.2.2. - ARHD 12. We even updated software on TV, didn't help.
Well, in that case it sucks...
It would be great to have this functionality out of the box...
Has anyone tried these HDMI DLNA devicse with our HTC ONE? I just want to play movies on the TV with this:

Get yourself the Samsung allshare dongle. It works flawlessly. Sad part it works better with my HTC one then with my samsung tablet

I have a Raspberry Pi connected to my TV, running XBMC (xbian).
I can simply use the "Select Player" option in the top right menu on my HTC when viewing pictures and select my XBMC device (xbian) I can then control the slideshow, shown on my TV pretty cool.
The videos I made with the HTC One are using 22mbit/s bitrate (ridiculously high) so that will never work via Wifi (unless you have a very expensive 11ac router).
But I could test it with other videos of course... will report back.
using the Yatse app, you will be able to stream anything to XBMC btw... but its a paid app. I think it uses DLNA tech.

Hi Globen, is this with videos taken on the HTC One or streaming videos? What's a youtube video like? I only ask because mine has a serious lipsync issue but works fine for photos and non-video screens.

HDMI to RCA Adapter

Hello everybody. I would like to know if I would be able to use Chromecast with an old tv by using an HDMI to RCA adapter. If anyone knows of a better solution, let me know.
Thanks

It's possible, yes... See FAQ, Part 1, 3.a.4
But if your TV is not widescreen then you will have to make sure the adapter you choose supports Aspect Ratio Conversion (sometimes listed as ARC, not to be confused with HDMI's Audio Return Channel feature) or scaling. Otherwise the picture will be horizontally squashed.
Pretty much everything else I'd say I've said in the FAQ entry and referenced post that describes how one of my Chromecasts is feeding a 20-inch Sony CRT.
Possible, yes, but not cost-effective unless you already have a spare digital-to-analog converter sitting around. It's not just a cheap and simple adapter, it's basically a whole other video processor. Save your money and put it towards updating your TV.

[Q] Way to enable MHL (HDMI out) Cable support?

Well I've been searching about MHL support on the Moto X and I discovered that actually he doesnt support this king of cable, to stream the content to a TV via HDMI. But I also heard that its a SOFTWARE limitation, not a hardware one... So in theory we could activate this function.
Anyone knows a way or a custom ROM that supports it?

Seems it is a HW limitation, the needed chip is not there, to me anyway. But there is no workaround, there are post confirming this.

It is a workaround indeed - Miracast. It even has advantages comparing to the HDMI - no physical connections. It is a bit more expensive but it worth the price.

are there miracast dongles that exist that are complete garbage? for my needs, Chromecast does everything I need it to. I haven't had a need for HDMI since its release.
I have problem that my lg TV finds the moto x and I accept the connection on the phone but connection fails. I'm disappointed in the moto x, although its a great phone I won't buy another.

It depends of your needs. I must admit that I don't possess the Chromecast, I just borrowed it once from my friend. But as far as I could learnt, it doesn't do screen mirroring, it can only transfer certain video. And you can't transmit audio separately, the screen aimed for video must have its own audio production too (loudspeakers). You can't use plain monitor with the Chromecast if you want to have audio. Or I missed something?

Well I know its an option, but It doesnt fit me since I wanna play games like Modern Combat 5 using it. Wireless connections has too lag so its not suitable for it...

Any HDMI Adapter help.

As they Title says. Could you please let me know if you're used any that works with 5t. I'm getting my phone next week and would like to get adapter so I can plug my phone to big screen when I'm at home/ office...

I know theta no video out. But there's a lot of mhl cables that you can buy. That's where I was looking at thanks.
sorry I should have explained better. My bad. When I said no I meant there is zero way to get any kind of video out from the phone, I have looked everywhere. No MHL, SlimPort, or HDMI. Like most companies today, OnePlus has not included it in the hardware. For the most part, everyone is pushing for wireless video like the Chromecast.
best HDMI dongol
Hi guys
I need to display from my phone to a 4k screen via HDMI cable
Any recommendations for a good converter
