HDMI or something on the nexus one?

Hi,
I want to know if there is a way that I can see my nexus one on the TV. Or if not that, atleast show videos like from YouTube. I can only play audio.
Please help me. My TV has no USB port, but I have a USB thingy connected to my TV through HDMI.

Remote control your Nexus from your PC, and connect your PC to the TV.
But then why would you need Nexus...

I'm afraid it's not possible... the only thing you could do is this.

afaik, the only device through which you can do something like that is desire HD, since it features a mini-HDMI port.

You can't connect it the conventional way, since there's no HDMI port...but you could try through the USB cables
Btw, the Desire HD does not have a HDMI port, but the Evo 4G does.

you can use dlna or even airport on an N1 to stream videos/photos/music
check out twonky and there was an article about airport on xda portal a week back

There is no way to do HDMI mirroring without HDMI support built into the phones hardware, and unfortunately, the N1 lacks any ability to output video to anywhere other than the display on the phone.
What behelit was talking about is using a DLNA server on your device, which will allow you to have your music, videos, and pictures available for people to view over your local network with any DLNA compatible device. All while being wireless. Many newer Samsung and Sony TVs support this, along with a lot of their BluRay players (including other manufacturers) along with the PS3 and the XBox 360. Essentially it works like a dvd player where you will have menus and can pause and rewind and all that fun stuff.

I believe the usb host thread has examples of people using an external monitor, but I don't think the usb output is HDMI...

The USB host thread has people using external USB2HDMI adapter, which gets the output sent for it by the device driver in the OS.
No way to do anything like it without modifying the OS to have USB host capability to begin with. Or building a special external USB host and drivers.

You could try and find a N1 Desktop Dock on eBay and use the mini-HDMI adaptor on that.

Any micro usb to HDMI adapter cable that work?

I've seen some being sold on amazon but a lot of them don't work properly according to reviews. Anyone know if they have used a cable that will definitely let me hook my nexus 7 up to the TV via HDMI?

If you do a search through the various XDA Nexus 7 forums including this one for HDMI or MHL you will see that the Nexus 7 does not support HDMI or MHL.

That said, wait for miracast in the fall, it should solve the mirroring problem, and similar apps should start making the rounds soon.-Ara

AppRadio 2 or Nexus 7 for car audio center?

AppRadio 2 or Nexus 7 for car audio center?
I was set on the Nexus 7 until I searched this forum and found some folks recommending micro PC's instead because the Nexus 7 wasn't the best for audio quality?
I just need Pandora and GPS and MP3 type capabilites. And
Movie watching.

Nexus 7 poor audio quality can be remedied by using a USB DAC (digital to analog converter), which takes a digital audio signal and converts to analog which would be supplied to your amplifier(s). This requires a kernal with USB audio-output capability (like faux123 kernel, Poitee kernel, etc). The biggest downside to this is that your built-in microphones will not work, and even if you get a DAC with audio-input capability the Nexus 7 can't work with USB audio input.

If you want quality audio, the Nexus 7 is going to fight you a bit. With low bit rate mp3's or Pandora, it should be fine. The only reason I use micro PC is because I molded a 7" LCD into my dash several years ago. This gives me everything I could ask for....lots of storage, clear audio and video. It also added about $700 bucks...micro ITX mb, case, DC to DC PS, SSD drive....etc.

nope not possible unfortunately, the n7 doesn't even have HDMI support.

Would you really want to do this though
The Nexus is a great device for a tablet, but used for a PC screen is totally not gonna work. Its too small.
You can get 15" monitors for hella cheap, I mean hey, I'd give you a 15" monitor if you paid my postage !!

I think most of the replies leading to where to get an lcd and hdmi support is kinda deviating from the op's principle inquiry and purpose.
As far as some constructive help, the only thing that I could think of is possibly taking advantage of the usb host feature and trying to find a way for a form of vga/dvi/display port conversion to usb. Then there is still the issue of whether you could get the tablet to use that in put from the usb host as a full screen display.
Its not a straight how-to or answer, but a good place to start looking for a solution.
Best of luck.

Way too much trouble to go through. Get yourself an IPS monitor, they are cheap now. TN panel monitors are so ridiculously cheap too.

Hi, I want the same thing too. We could simply use remote control apps through WiFi but it would be much of a hassle since we only need a display.
There are even apps that enables using the device as a second monitor.. there must be a solution via WiFi network

If you have a Wi-Fi with the same lAN with your pc than you can go with Splashtop. Just sign in for the first time using a display on your pc and keep start with system on and you are done. Just turn on your pc connect your nexus with the Wi-Fi and connect.you can also use the touch. Last of all its free in the play store.

Chromecast & iOS7

Hey guys I'm trying use my chromecast i set it up but now I can't cast anything to it... I'm using iOS 7 but it didn't work on my older android phone either.

My wife's iPad 2 works perfectly fine with it. As well as both my nexus 7 and gnex

What are you trying to cast? Did you add the device or pair the device to the chromecast? Make sure they are both on same network. Only apps to work so far are mainly YouTube Google Music and Netflix.

I am aware of what apps do and don't work, and my house is isolated enough that it's the only network available it works with my GN and PC but not my iphone 4

Ok just asking. As for iphone 4 not sure why it wouldn't work. Only thing I can think of is make sure your iphone has its wifi on. Other than that not sure.
