Wireless Mirroring

Hello y'all,
I'm a school teacher and the school just bought me a Nexus7 and I LOVE IT! I'm here because I use Power Point everyday and I was wondering if there is an accessory or a way to connect my Tablet to my HDMI projector wirelessly, so I can slid through my solids on my tablet. Any help would be great.
Thanks Guys!

Mirroring just isn't possible on the N7 currently :crying:

can you use the bluetooth to do a remote desktop with a laptop that is hooked up to the projector?
just a suggestion

I know this isn't exactly what you are looking for but if you can get a computer connected to the projector and the n7 on the same network there are several good PC remote apps. I used andremote for a long time and was happy with it.

You can use Splashtop Remote Desktop from the Play store

Look at mirrorop in market.
U can mirror nexus on a PC, or on another tablet/one.
I mirrored my Xoom to nexus7 and had xoom connected to TV so I had the Xoom screen on my TV and my nexus 7 and full control of xoom from my 7.

Miracast

if you have a pc connected to the display http://pptremotecontrol.com/ is great for Power Point presentations on the android device you can see the slide and notes, control the presentation and a virtual pointer on the screen.

Just a protocol, you need software and hardware that uses it.
Lot of good suggestions so far but they all require another expensive computer or tablet. The easy solution that being a simple hardware device that listens on WiFi and connects to an HDMI video device without another computer that the Nexus 7 can talk to.
For a teacher, business, home user, you plug this device into any HDMI video device and play, images, video, whatever you have on the screen.
It's coming, but not here yet.

You might want to consider a device like this the infinitec pocket tv http://shop.infinitec.com/ is is not a method to let you use your nexus but it is a android device with a hdmi output and a remote control. easy to carry and a lot less expensive than a pc.

Miracast is JUST a protocol. It is not an app, or a program. It is a standard that a number of hardware vendors are collaborating on. You need software and hardware that supports the protocol to use it.
Decent article on it:

.... I give up hope for humanity's stupidity
Tegra 3 already supports miracast, just needs to be enabled in the FIRMWARE. Most tvs in 2013 will support it without hardware dongle but a dongle will be a available for your HDMI slot. No different than using mhl cable with HDMI cable except, oh wait, this solution is wireless...

You're likely not to receive future updates. They are pushing users to the "free" Splashtop 2 app. Ipad users get lifetime anywhere pack. Android users don't. Splashtop has lost credibility and wouldn't touch their crap even with your devices.

[Q] HTC One Remote Controller function

So, we've heard and seen about the IR and remote controller function, but I didn't exactly understand it. Is it going to work with only smart TVs? I mean can we just use it as a normal, universal remote controller?

I don't think it is a small feature. That means that with the Right soft (understand app) you can virtually have the equivalent to a harmony universal remote control to master all your IR devices such as TV bluray home theater. I have an harmony and its awesome. Getting old though.

I would like to know how to access the IR port for app development .. got some ideas for some cool applications for that IR Blaster

AW: [Q] HTC One Remote Controller function
Already tested it and it works fine.
For most devices there are preconfigired setups. If your device is not listed, you can "teach" the phone by holding original remote to the power button and by pressing any button on remote.
Sadly the set of buttons is limited (only most common buttons available)

I am planning to develop IR apps for RC Car and alarm remote for a real car Of course I need a device first for testing.
If only they could have put the IR port just beside the camera I could have made something alot more better hahaha!

Bigger hint: The App is called "TV" in the App drawer!:laugh:
Have to say i'm quite impressed with it, i thought it was just a bit gimmicky but after trying it out it's quite good.
My 8 year old son was very impressed with it...."woah mum, dad's phone can turn the TV over!"......the wife wasn't impressed at all :laugh:
Can't wait to get back to work in a few weeks and start p***ing the lads in the canteen off by turning the TV over!

Great thing is, that SGS4 also have IR sensor.
So we can expect some nice apps in near future and another devices with such functionality.
Back to the roots, earlier each phone had IR (ok not same like now)

Oh my. This feature is epic.
For Virgin Media users dont select your cable box as Tivo, it doesn't work select Virgin Media in the option.
Its Epic. EPIC EPIC.

I can't get it to work with my Sharp tv. The auto setup fails and when I try to get it to learn from my existing remote it will learn some buttons but not others. So I can mute the tv, but not unmute it. None of the numbers work, but the volume controls do.
Has anyone got any ideas? Would be awesome to get it all up and running.

You can try to teach your phone from a universal remote that works on our TV.

Well the -Vol button on my Denon DAB Hi-Fi remote in my office has just died so this new phone can't come at a better time.

Same for me, The work TV remote is literally in three pieces on the table after someone destroyed it this week.

[Q] Control Air Conditioner through IR Blaster

is it possible?

Yes. But you need to make an app for that. The IR app can record the database but there's no UI to use it.

As the Siv also got IR-blaster I'd think quite a few IR-apps should pop-up pretty soon.

I hope so. Can't believe it's taken this long to bring IR back to hand held devices.

The remote app can learn. Add a new remote, teach it the AC remote codes and see what happens?
Pretty sure this year will see a whole bunch of competing IR blaster apps being released.

Going back about 20 years, I had a Casio remote control watch. At the time this was a very new and novel concept. A couple of fun stories
1) I was in a shopping mall. There was a TV in the window. I was with my friend and I told him loudly "With my mind I am going to switch off this TV. Focus ....focus....". Then without being obvious, I pressed the button to switch off the TV. A woman was watching me and was so freaked out she went running away down the mall.
2) A hi-fi store had a big 50" (this was very big 20 years ago) front projection TV. They were playing the Lion King cartoon. It was about 11pm at night. I turned the sound up to max, and still couldn't hear much so I thought, oh well, nevermind. Walked about 20 seconds and then suddenly heard a loud lion "roooooaaaarrrr" coming from the shop. Needless to say, I just left it like that

The HTC One media app can learn new IR controls. You select device not in list, and then proceed to point your existing remote at the phone and tell it what each button you press does, and it learns them and can then push those controls out. I'm using it to control my Air Conditioning, TV, Satellite box, and even my projector at work, none of which are known devices, it had to learn them all. It's very clever and extremely easy to set up.

I managed to manually sync my school projector remotes. It's so amazing, but still the air con doesn't work.. :l

I'm getting the same too. Doesn't work for the temperature control either. I think this has to do with the fact that the remote transmits more than a simple "ON" command. It transmits the parameters like fan and temperature.

Try this App. I have nearly the same stripe, i've teached the Power-Button and it works. Will upload the other keys in the next hew hours. Of course it is a bit tricky, because you can't enter a name for the key, and there are just a few predifined ones which are logical. But "power" should be clear, and the rest is try&error.
You can find my commands at:
vendor: "in-akustik LED"
model: "A-Art LED RGB"
type: "Air Conditioning"
Maybe they will work for you.

[Q] Universal Remote App

I know that there are APPs even in this section for better control of your IR blaster. The HTC TV app is not able to do more than work with my TV, but I'd like it to also control my soundbar, my Roku and my Blueray--like a true universal remote. There are some apps in the play store ranging from free to 15 bucks...any recommendations fora good universal remote app?

The TV app just doesnt allow for much customization of the buttons. In smart ir remote you can also create macros. I have one that turns on/off my tv, audio system and set-top box with one button. Smart remotes are useful too. I can take all the important buttons from multiple remotes and combine it into one remote.
