Nexus 7 tv out?

Do they sell an Hdmi cable that is compatible with this tab so I can connect it to my tv?

Last I read, the Nexus 7 didn't have MHL capabilities.

I believe this function was going to be added through the use of Nexus Q & Google TV systems. However that's officially on the back burner.

Have a look at the video in this thread.

I am not sure if u can stream via hdmi fom nexus to TV, but if it is possible this is the cable u would need.
HDMI to Micro Type D

Not mhl compatible, but maybe a future dock will have that.

the future dock would still require the tablet to be mhl capable, therefore no, there is no and will be no way to directly plug the tablet into a television, what there is hope for is streaming via a nexus q device.

Hey folks, I'm new here. Have been lurking a bit.
I've been bugging Nexus support staff about features/upcoming features.. as I'd expected, they're pretty hush-hush
One guy even fibbed to me, saying that a USB OTG cable and peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, usb drives.. will not work with the Nexus, even if I unlock it. Maybe he just didn't know any better.
Anyhow, I love this little device, but the lack of tv-out in the form of display mirroring is flat-out pissing me off.
I'm not experienced with coding for android devices by any means, but I did have an idea. (If Nvidia doesn't certify Nexus 7 for Miracast sometime in the near future.. it IS a tegra 3 device, so I'm hoping they do. It may be the solution to our problem.)
...This idea could be too fantastic to be a realistic possibility, but I thought it was worth a share..
What if an apk could "trick" the protocol for displaying video via wifi on droid devices?
What if the receiver could detect the incoming signal as a video file, and the app on the device could trick the nexus (or other non-MHL droid device) into treating the screen display as a video file?
Since the latency between displaying video on the Nexus and displaying it on a television via wifi isn't bad (from what I know), it COULD be practical enough for gaming, if it were done correctly.
TL;DR, the app would screen-capture the display, and send it to a receiver as if it were a compatible video file.
Am I just speaking fantasy-talk? Is this feasible? Thoughts?

The tegra3 has wifi streaming similar to apples airplay. The receivers just aren't out yet. Reading up that tmobiles SGIII will have a premium pack with some kind of aircard device that streams video over wifi for $99.
I think we are also waiting on Dlink. You can already do this with a rasberryPi for a good DYI solution.
I'm waiting for someone to make a box and a roku channel that captures streams on the network.

Right...with the N7 as a controller/interface to drive the Q.

nexus 7 =199
nexus q 299

Guys, have a look at this : http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter-for-the-nexus-7-and-the-raspberry-pi/
Seems great but the only problem I see is that it requires to install a custom rom to use it.

If stay away from RS as they have had huge problems shipping product, any of the Farnell companies have been ok.
I've got two of them, one originally for the Android Transporter..

The german translation is honest: you need an MHL-Device to use this adapter. As we know the nexus 7 isn't configured with one. It won't work.

Nexus 10 Official Dock?

Just watched the Android Christmas Card video....there is a Nxxus 10 dock pictured right at the 1:00 mark...hoping this is real. Looks like it is.

It's certainly encouraging. With the news of the POGO pin connector, the pictures of the Nexus 7 dock and now this video from the Android Team, I'm very hopeful. I know I will buy the dock as soon as it is released.

It would be a Christmas miracle!

Will it charge faster than the micro usb?
Otherwise why waste the money.

Some of us wants to be able to use a dock as a dock... charging faster will be a plus for me but i'd like to use an official POGO pin dock that I can place on my counter to charge as I browse. Or even slow the battery drain when I play music/movie.
TLDR: Having a dock is freaking awesome.

A dock offers more then just charging... It also serves.. as a stand.

Also audio out for your stereo/speakers.

Yea I saw this too and I got super excited!!! Lol
I hope its an official dock and not just a random stand that they used.

Good eye! I was hoping we'd see a dock with pricing and delivery at CES next month. Can't wait to get one so I can hack it...

Guess it does mean, a dock is coming, couldn't care less about it though I would prefer if they would release an official keyboard dock like the one ASUS transformer has.

I wouldn't be waiting for this to come out as Nexus device accessories don't have the best track record. *Waiting on Nexus 4 orb charger*

while u wait get the energizer qi on amazon, i found one for 50 bux totally worth it

The nexus 7 dock looks nice but I thought the nexus 10 dock looked too small and the tablet didn't seem very secure /stable /safe in it. I wish they made it longer.

This. It seems like it would be too easy to tip it out accidentally.

You're forgetting about the magnets.

Nocoast, shame you can't use it on the n10. I'm sad no company has made a generic qi home dock for phones and tablets. I'm even more sad no company has made a universal car qi dock.
I use touchstones in the car and house for my gnex and the wife's s3. Of prefer having something more future proof for phones like the n4 that have it built in. Hardware jacks aren't that fun. The touchstone are nice and small though, but the phone angles will in it are shallow. Pivot mount mechanism works in the car though.

I gotta say I don't think that's a dock at all, it doesn't make sense to have a 4 inch dock for 10 inch tablet, I think that was just a generic plastic stand

Hmm, have you ever seen an official iPad dock? there is a reason behind that, the tablet is not small, big dock will look bulky and no aesthetic with it, maybe Apple know something we don't , but then again there are magnets, we also don't know what the shape of it, maybe it holds still, and actually similar to iPad dock...just my thoughts :cyclops:

The N10 is my first Nexus product & I expected more from Google in the way of accessories. I work for B&N & we have the widest & most varied selection of accessories that I have ever seen for any device under one roof. Perhaps I'm just spoiled, but I don't think my expectations are too high. Google has the capability to provide accessories & I don't understand why they haven't.

car lighter note 2 mount/holder anyone ?

I've been searching over month for mount/holder for my galaxy note 2 , its large and need to fit perfectly without any problem
found many , but not sure witch one is stable and charge without problem
something like this

anyone tried/have one ?

I have one that looks similar to the one in the ebay post. It works well in only one of cars due to the lighter Outlet location. I like the added usb plugs as well.

you should be careful with these and make sure that your dc socket can handle the stress of carrying the phone.

Car Instrument Panel

I saw this posted by someone else and had to give it a try
Samsung Galaxy Gear (null_19)
Bluetooth OBDII adapter (or cheap ebay knockoff - mini elm327)
2010 Ford Focus (or any ODB II compliant vehicle)
Torque
All you need to do it pair with Bluetooth and the app does the rest
Live data straight from car's computer

interesting, but my oldtimer won't have support for that
i wish you could lock/unlock the doors like in the new BMW

Awesome!!! With a nice stand for watches fixed to your dashboard you could have an extra display.
No need for boost gauge now.

You're better off with an extra phone for that. I have an Atrix that i use for this purpose.

Yeah. I would like one of those cheap tablets for the same purpose.
But having an extra gauge on your watch is still pretty cool. LOL

Yes! I love it!!! It goes to show everyone how powerful these watches really are!
