Hello, HTC One lovers!
I have a problem connecting my HTC One (rooted) to Dell U2412M via HDMI to DVI adapter.
The monitor's max resolution is 1920x1200 but when my HTC One is connected, it only goes to 640x480 and I can't seem to change it. I've done some research and it might be because of the HDMI to DVI connection... but still not sure. :crying:
Does anyone have a similar problem? Thanks!
dell monitor
i have the same dell monitor and phone, i plugged my laptop into the monitor the other day which has 720p resolution and thats what came up on the monitor with the same hdmi to dvi adapter setup as you, the hdmi adapter thing for the htc one is hit and miss, it works for some and not for others, i had problems connecting to my sam tv to, so i got the htc media link and that brings through the max resolution as the htc one 1080p screen, i think it is htc forcing people to get the media link for the phone to work in that way, you could try something like i did with a laptop or some device to see if its the phone(most likely), the 640x480 res is a bit weird though hope this helps!
Hmmm... thanks for the insight, friend.
I will try my xbox later and see how that comes out. If it comes out as HD, then it's the HTC One's problem... that means I have no choice but to get the media link. I'll let you know.

ya xbox would do, the media link does work very good, if you did go down that road of getting one there are two different models of the media link
(watch out). the new one is specially optimised for sense 5.0 and landscape view for the htc one, just a heads up for ya! the htc media link hd dg h300 is the one to go for not the dg h200!

There are 2 kinds? What's the difference between the H200 and H300? Thanks for the tip!
Okay, so I've tried the xbox... when I plugged it in thru the HDMI - DVI port, the res was still at 640. But you can change the resolution on the Xbox... so I did. I guess that doesn't count since I can't really change the res of the HTC One.
Does that mean I'm left with getting the HTC Medialink?

but are you getting 1080p from the xbox to the monitor now ya? they are both compatible but the h300 works better for the htc one's ui (sense 5.0) you can use the phone in landscape mode even in blinkfeed, it's just better optimised for the htc one

Ah, okay. Done some research on it too just now. Thanks!
Yeah, the xbox is getting 1080 because you can change the screen resolution settings on the xbox. Since you can't change it on the HTC One, I'm just getting 640x480 on the Dell screen. So I guess there's no hope... all I can do now is get the H300 for the Dell. More expenses!

Oh, great... hmm... it would be pointless for me to get the media link then.
You see, I can use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard with the One. All I need is a nice big screen... but I can't even get that with this blasted DELL! And yeah... my Dell's displayport is not functional... just like a lot of other Dell monitors out there (I checked).
Dell <----- FAIL! :silly:

There's a gallery of NC teardown pics at zdnet. XDA isn't letting me post the link because i'm not verified, so maybe someone else can.
This was inevitable, but I hadn't been able to find it until today. I thought others might be interested as well.

From the pictures I see a good possibility for a bigger battery, or even adding a second one. Lots of room, it won't be pretty but something could be fashioned to fit.

Looks good.
Nice to see some more details about the NC coming out, I have yet to find a *detailed* list of the real hardware specs though.. most of the "tech specs" list mention supported ebook formats...
I ordered one of these the other day via a relative in the US and hopefully will be getting it next week some time.
I will miss the haptic feedback though so am wondering if it will be possible to replace the useless mono speaker with a motor from a mobile phone or something..

Cool idea. But it'll only work for typing and maybe apps that have clicking sounds. Still, it should work just fine. Of course you'd have to attach it to the inside real tight. Duck tape won't do

Thanks, my mind is kinda running over with ideas actually
From the teardown pics the internals seem pretty basic and there is hopefully a good bit of space. I would love to know if there are any available usb / jtag / etc headers available though.
If not I was thinking also about the possibility of modifying the usb connector with a switch and a usb 3g dongle inside, I just don't know if there is a 3g dongle that is not based on mini pcie though.
As for the haptic feedback I guess you can just assign a "sound" to everything that should produce feedback.
What about the accellerometer, is that sufficient to control cars in steering wheel based games?

To answer your very last question yes.. I have Asphalt5 running and won my first race.

The usb dongle would have to support android. To my knowledge there isn't one... but physically it is possible to stick it inside. They aren't that big, just look big cause of the plastic casing.
I think realistically, for now a bigger battery should be the first thing attempted, given the OS limitations we'd face with other mods. It would also allow us to run the NC at 800 mhz at all times via setcpu.

Did you download from the Gameloft site? I couldnt get the version from my G2 to get past the license check, and the only other version I've tried is a pirated 3.13 version. I would be glad to pay for it if I knew it would work.
Tried disabling the compatibility mode and the top of the screen is blank and I have to press high to get selections to work.
EDIT: I figured it out. You have to load a version made for Samsung Galaxy Tab or Galaxy S. I downloaded a version from Gameloft.com with Galaxy Tab selected as my phone and the game displays fine. If you purchase from their website you have to do some trickery. When they text you a download link, just type the link address from your phone in a browser on the Nook Color and the download should start and install the game.
isolated_epidemic - I'm having the same issue as you with Asphalt, as well as some of the other GameLoft games. Does anyone have a solution for this?
I doubt it... and I searched and didn't find anything, but thought I'd ask just to make certain...
There's no way to connect this thing to the TV right? Would be sweet if it were able to - I wouldn't have to drag my "giant" laptop over to the TV then!!
Yeah I.m 99.99% sure the Nook Color not only lacks the proper Connections for this but also the proper chipset.
I just did a quick 5 minute search for it and couldn't find anything. It's be cool if we could do TV out, but I highly doubt the quality would be any good.
ya... i'm going to be getting mine tomorrow and figured i'd start doing some research now.
obviously not expecting hdmi, but certainly would be nice if a regular dvd could be played from it to the TV... or a netflix (or similar) stream even would be sweet.

Android doesn't have a Netflix app yet. In regards to playing it on the TV, I'd have to guess that if it was possible at all, you'd be using a composite cable. Then you would have to encode all the movies to whatever resolution you want. Higher the resolution, etc = more space. All depends on what size card you have. Composite has it's limits though.
.. or does the video show on tv but with the sound still coming from the phone? I'm thinking of preordering the device and this would be very helpful to know! Thanks.
Also, does the huge spacing on the bottom of the phone bother you guys who actually have the device?
The sound is coming just from TV. I'll check it again when Im back from work.
Niiiicce. Thanks!
Sound def comes from TV.

When you are plugged into the TV, sound and picture are only going through the TV. But when I think about it, notifications and ringtones still comes from the phone (a very nice feature from LG IMO). Also if you are watching a video, the controls for the video are shown all the time on the phone while the video are playing on the TV

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

U can mirror nexus on a PC, or on another tablet/one.

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.

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.

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.

Great thanks bud, currently bidding on a Raspberry Pi as we Speak
why do i need an extra firmware on my N7?
some software for windows/linux would be fine - already have a htpc.
I prefer using the YouTube app on the ps3 control by the nexus 7
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
You need extra firmware because they are trying to get the lowest latency possible so it just being an app wouldn't do. Although they didn't mention gaming in the youtube demo so I assume in it's first version it isn't capable of that yet.
I'm hoping they (or someone) can make a patch for other roms and I also hope this becomes a common feature for all roms.
Yes this is very similar to miracast and they even said when the miracast spec is finalized, they will modify this to be in spec.
Yes you currently need a raspberry pi, but they might write a linux client down the road. Hopefully other projects start on that, maybe a windows client too.
cant you just twonky your photos/vids onto your tv

Ah ok, thank you!
I talked to the devs a couple months ago when it was only working on the Nexus S. They said you can capture the stream using VLC as well, but it is complicated to set up.
When I get my replacement N7 I'm definitely working on that!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I'm surprised some people are dismissing this. The nexus Q only streams content that you have in google play, it streams nothing from your actual device. Twonky et al stream stuff to a media capable device (e.g ps3) in formats that the receiving device support. Your ps3 can't play that mkv file? Well it's not playing. ps3 doesn't support the subs you have? You're not going to see them. Want to stream a game to your ps3/tv? Not happening.
Think of this more like wireless hdmi. Whatever is on your device you can stream to your large display. It's basically miracast but it's available now. In their earlier demos they demo'd streaming games but I guess/assume they haven't gotten the latency low enough yet.
And as another mentioned, you may be able to stream to a pc with vlc or another player. The main thing is hardware decoding on the pc end for lowest latency. Not sure what decoder chip the pi has but if that was in a pc already, it would make a port easier. So down the road, a pi wouldn't even be needed, not for streaming to a pc hooked up to a large display anyway.
Two things bugged me about the nexus 7: no hdmi and no sdslot. This would solve one of those issues.
Again, I hope this spreads to the other roms and becomes a default option that all of them have.
I was reading more on their website and the current transmit time is around 200 ms which is a little disappointing for games anyway. But another cool featue is it utilizes android beam to stream to another android device.
I have the same functionality with my Galaxy Note 10.1 to my Samsung LED TV... It's a cool feature.
I've already got two Raspberry Pi's... will be looking at this tonight.
See it clears the Nexus 7 but not sure if that is the unlocking of the bootloader (which is already done by me) or also the software. Will look when I get more time.
Got the RPi's for this function originally!
this is cool right now i send youtube/etc from n7 to my rasbpi xbmc using the yatse remote app...
hope they build this into one of the pi xbmc builds...

This cements my decision to buy a Rasp Pi, don't forget to update the firmware to allow official overclocking!
http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/2008
Lastly, does anybody know if it upscales to 1080p, or is limited to the Nexus's default resolution?
It would be interesting if it could upscale to a higher resolution but I kind of doubt it. My understanding is it's basically making a video on the fly of whats on your screen and then decoded on the other end. So I would think it would be 1:1 regarding resolution. However, it would be nice if there was a option to lower resolution to try and lower latency or increase framerate for gaming. Might not hurt the image too much although text might appear more fuzzy. But there may be a performance penalty simply by scaling the source image.
I don't currently have a pi yet but if anyone has tried it let us know how it went.
Oh, and I didn't notice you can already use this with vlc
vlc rtsp://<Asus-Nexus-7-IP-Address>:9000/android.sdp.
Too bad it doesn't transmit sound yet. Hmm, I do wish it was an app but understand why it's built into the rom. Given this was released same day as 4.1.2 I assume this is built on 4.1.1 but I don't see that mentioned on their site.
