If your Bravia has miracast you can use wireless screen sharing, else you would need a MHL-USB adaptor to connect it to the HDMI port on your TV.

Or if it is not compatible with the sony tv view app you can always just get an MHL adapter to hook it up via HDMI
cheap adapter example http://www.ebay.com/itm/221269101169?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 i got it out of curiosity mostly but if it does not work i get to repair it or even hack it !

This adapter is only a 5 to 11 pin usb converter for old mhl adepters to use with sgs3.
SP needs an old type, like sgs2 mhl adapter.

You need an another cable for that dude.. It won't work. Firstly, you can't connect to your OLD TV! It's impossible! Also only certain HDTV's with MHL Output work. Try on those TV's with MHL Function. Also you need a stock ROM for that (Custom ROMs are not supported).

Dont say thats impossible. Its imposibble with this cable. To connect phone to old TV you need change digital TV signal (from HDMI) to analog one.
You can use for this some kind of converter which cost (in my country for example) about 50 EUR. But its not impossible.
As I say, you cannot connect your phone with this cable to old TV while you have to change signal from digital to analog.
He dont need to have stock rom. I use HDMI-MHL output with FXP without problems. I also say that works better than in stock rom.

I use cable like this , I can connect my phone to HDTV on any ROM included CM11 but you can't use
remote tv to control your phone

Flight mode its not a solution. Solution is more power
U need to have more than standard 0,5A power source. With my 1A power source from my old LG Phone or newest 1,5A power source from my Lenovo Tab it works like a charm. All what I had below 1A was to weak to hold the signal in normal mode without disconnects.

3-in-1 usb adapter and HTC Touch wired remote control RC E100

Hi, not sure if this is possible, but here it goes,
i just bought my self a Brodit HTC Touch Diamond Holder with 3 in 1 Adapter

which is great as it allows you to connect
your charger,
3.5mm jack (which allows you to connect your AUX to your car listening to music)
and also allowing you to add an Alternative HTC PDA headphone jack
but i went and bought me a HTCTouch Pro Wired Remote control RC E100 to allow me to change music while driving with the remote, (handy if u got TOMTOM running in the background)
but when i do connect it to the alternate usb plug, it doesnt allow me to change music??????? voice recognition pops up instead
why is that???
if i connect it direct to my phone it works like a charme but when i connect it to the 3-in-1 it doesnt work, just allows music to play through the AUX acting like another 3.5mm headphone jack
any answers?
The Remote is not compatible with the audio splitter
takin right from Expansys HTC acessory description.
Note:
- Your HTC device may require a driver for this audio accessory to function correctly. If you experience any problems, then please download the driver from here, once the driver is downloaded, the file name needs to be renamed to zip.
- RC E100 is not compatible with YC A100 Y cable or YC A200 multifunctional audio cable
thank you for your response back...
its a great shame it doesnt support it
couldnt there be an driver update to help support the device,
as its currently running on a driver...
ps Ive also emailed HTC support in regards to this issue...
'Hi, Ive currently purchased a "HTC Touch Diamond Wired Remote Control RC E100", and also using "Brodit HTC Touch Diamond Holder with 3 in 1 Adapter", but had later found out that there not compatible,
was just wondering is there a driver update to help support the audio splitter, as its very handy to change music while driving etc...
kind regards"
HOPEFULLY SOME ANSWER
I assume its more to do with the hard wiring of the cable split. Not driver issue.

i would have to agree. the remote works off a usb signal. running the splitter essentially splits the audio signal to one port (right) and the usb/charge signal to the (left). and the remote needs to use the usb side to send data to the diamond.
well i guess that's why iphone had invented their own universal connecter rather than having to deal with mini usb...

that has nothing to do with it. the mini usb is a universal connector there are 11 pins in there. its the splitter thats the issue.
I have an idea,
what if i bought (havnt found one yet), a mini usb splitter?
which will then allow connecting both devices like you would connecting directly to the device,
any suggestion where i could find one?
so far no luck my self

the problem is that a miniUSB only have 5 pins, so it will only split power and data.. that's why the extUSB has 11 pins. A miniUSB and 3,5mm jack would be nicer, but we have to deal with it.

[Q] USB accessories yes and no

Based on my experience, the following work:
generic USB keyboard
Logitech DiNovo Mini with included adapter
USB flash drive up to 32GB
some card readers except sandisk mobilemate (only takes one card at time)
The following doesn't work:
sandisk mobilemate (microsd/m2)
USB speaker (but you can supply power through USB host and connect through regular audio connection)
You can add your experience below.
USB Devices
plugged a CyberPower 4 port USB hub into usb port then plugged 2 Lexar 4gb drives in and it was able to see both drive and play movies from them.
USB Keyboard?
I have tried connecting a USB keyboard with no luck. Is this because of the type of port on the A7?
tested
No problem with Microsoft keyboards.
generic mouse half works.... since there is no pointer I can not tell if I'm pointing at something. The scroll wheel does work.
Gravies Gamepad Pro does not work.
I bought a off brand Wii remote to use as a controller for the a7 but it seems i need a Name brand remote... bummer huh? Anyone know of a fix for this?
USB Keyboard
I connected a wireless keyboard and was able to type in appropriate areas, however when I was navigating I could change the focused item but could not find a way to select a given item without actually touching the screen.
Has anyone discovered a way to accomplish this function?
Case with keyboard not working
I bought a case off Ebay. When I plug it into the Elocity A7, nothing happens. When I plug it into a WinXP PC, it detects the keyboard and it functions fine. Could this be a driver issue and if so where is a good place to find Android Drivers? I'm new to Android so please go easy on me
My favorite keyboard the happy hacking pro 2 works just fine

HP Photosmart camera works fine. In the cameras options set USB mode to disk and it will read as a standard thumb drive.
This tablet is on sale right now
Does anyone know if I can connect my Western Digital 1TB Passport USB HDD to it? Or will I need to get a powered USB hub? I'm trying not to spend money on getting an Archos 101 (which apparently has the juice to power up a WD 1TB HDD). I primarily need a tablet for a media player in my vehicle, nothing else.. maybe have a shopping list on it for when I go grocery shopping?
So ya... can A7 handle 1TB external usb hard drive specifically: Western Digital My passport.
Edit: The A7 would be powered via cigarette lighter by the way.. it's not going to power my external hdd through battery, that's just silly.
Generc dell keybard works. Pelican afterglow ps3 controller does not.
Sandisk cruzer 4 gb usb drive works. Verbatim 2tb hdd causes reboot and white screen
Running Elocitymod 1.3
A7 accepts USB up to 64 GB. Maybe you can partition off 64 GB on your Passport??
Has anyone come across a bluetooth gamepad that works well with this tablet? I'm hoping to purchase something small and reasonably priced and use it to play a few old school classics via different emulators. Will a Wii remote work?
Connected a mini bluetooth keyboard without any problem,and im using a leather keyboard case without problems as well.

Wii remotes do not work on the A7, sadly. I've tried all the pairing apps, they all either force close or immediately unpair when attempting to pair. I don't know enough about the issue to say if the problem is hardware (or lack thereof) related or software related so someone smarter than me will have to let us know if it will ever be possible.
On a side note to contribute to this conversation, I tried an HP USB keyboard and it works fine.

Thanks for the info...i just tried to pair the Wiimote and got the same results you did; I'm currently using Dexter's latest ROM. Using the touchscreen is horrendous even if elocity had multi-touch.

Good news - bad news. I also bought a keyboard on ebay and got it to work. I had a hunch that the power supplied by the USB port on the elocity was marginal. I connected the keyboard through a powered USB hub and...it works. If the power supplied by the A7 is marginal, that would explain why some devices work and others don't and why the ebay keyboard worked for one but wouldn't work for others.
This could be confirmed by cutting up a USB cable and measuring the voltage and current supplied to the keyboard from the A7 and comparing it with a PC or powered hub. I didn't have the time or inclination to do that.
Unfortunately, this makes the case with keyboard a kludge, because you will need a powered hub to get it to work.
Not all the cases with keyboard have required something else in order for them to work sounds like a roll of the device to me lol.
Yeah, mine works fine.
USB Keyboard Works Great on the A7
I found this to USB Keyboard to work great with the elocity A7

Does Droid 3 Support OTG?

Does Droid 3 support OTG like SGS2?
Wow no1 has replied...
The drivers and phone is capable like any other - Not officially, plugging devices into the phone will not work, nor windows wont give you full host access with out using mass storage mode.
There is a little application called Droidexplorer which works in a similar fashion to otg, but also allows access every part of the phone (root) when simply plugged in even when the phone is set to charge only mode.
Excellent app if this is what your looking for, look it up.

Maybe any trick USB OTG for droid 3 use application like q5 memory manager?

OTG works perfectly with a modded lapdock, with the keyboard, touchpad and 2 USB ports all interfacing via USB. The stock ROM even supports mounting and unmounting flash drives as shown by a screenshot in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25111643&postcount=29
But I could never get it working with an OTG adapter. That same OTG adapter works fine on my Touchpad so thats not the issue. Its possible that the Droid 3 needs +5v Vcc to be connected, because when its on the lapdock its charging as well as providing OTG. This is different from my Touchpad which refuses to charge when in OTG and doesn't even need Vcc connected.
ok, thanks
but i only wanne use that otg adapter with flashdrives ;/
Hi,
I use ME863 that could support OTG but Just need through an Usb hub
that has external power supply.
I think Droid 3 should be ok, too.

i was able to get OTG working with a powered hub. last weekend i cracked open my hd dock for my droid 3 and added a $3 usb hub from monoprice.com. i now have 3 external usb ports that work flawlessly. $16 wireless keyboard/mouse combo from Gigabyte works like a charm from the couch with a 40" screen. hdmi+OTG+charge all work simultaneously.
the hdmi in the dock is just a pass-through so leave it alone. the wires for the usb port are labeled on the board. i crossed the brown(sense) with the bare ground. moved the r-w-g-b wires to there respective holes on the pcb for the hub. there are 3 empty holes on the pcb for the hub witch you can easily determine one is for power and the other 2 are ground (like there was an option for external power that didn't get soldered on the board). i ran wires from the power and ground holes i found on the hub to the original red and black holes on the dock pcb to piggy back power. i also relocated the led to a new hole in the front of the dock.
i also played around trying to get dock mode to work at the same time(if you actually want that). it seems if you only momentarily ground sence wire bur leave it hooked to the dock it will go back into dock mode but all devices that were initialized seem to keep working. you could in theory hold down a button after docking to initialize the usb accessories than let go to put it back into dock.
i also tried to find a way to get the audio out port to work (under the assumption it functioned like a usb sound card) but in the end i gave up as i cant think of an instance i would use it as the audio already feeds through the hdmi port. i would like to know if anyone gets it working though.
Got it working as well
Just wanted to say that I got it to work with a similar setup as kaiw1982.
I bought a powered usb hub and installing 2 apps to get mass storage support:
usb host controller for host support and paragon ntfs&HFS+ for ntfs support.
Running XT860 with Minimoto 1.7 and Maverick 4.0
Hope this helps

Hello,
I have a Droid3 and will be retiring it soon. I can use it as an XBMC media center IF I can get ethernet to work on it. My WIFI connections are NOT stable enough to broadcast live 1080p TV although SD TV does work.
Have either of you tested a USB-ETHERNET adapter with the droid3?
Thanks

I don't have one but I'd give it a low chance of working since support for USB devices on anything older than Android 3.x isn't that good. About the only things that work are mass storage devices like flash drivers and HID input devices like keyboards and mice.
I can confirm that the D3 supports otg, with or without a usb hub, but BOTH the phone and usb device must receive 5v from the same source.
OTG cable is also required due to the grounded ID pin.
I finally got around to ordering a proper OTG cable, I bought one like this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YPYORM
It works, some devices seemed to work okay without the hub, but best results are achieved using a hub. Then its just as reliable as USB support is when using a modded lapdock. Keyboard and mice work, mass storage devices like flash drives work, and surprisingly the Files app supports them and gives an eject option in the notification bar.

MUST SEE(100% wroking) How to connect XBOX 360 Controller with any Android Devices

All right, Things you will need is-
1. A good OTG (On The Go) Cable.(I have Nokia CA-157 OTG cable)
2. Original XBOX 360 Controller(Try with other controllers also)
3. Any Android Mobile with 4,0,4 or higher, OTG support and at least Duel Core and 1 GB RAM(I recommend, though you can try with others)
4. An USB HUB( This is optional- I will tell you why.)
Method ONE ( No USB HUB needed) -
First connect your XBOX 360 Controller with the OTG Cable and then connect the OTG cable with your Android mobile.
Wait for 10 second, If it supports then its fine. But if you see a notification "USB Power Consumption Error" then, try "Method 2".
Method TWO (USB HUB needed) -
First connect your XBOX 360 Controller with one of the port of the USB HUB, then connect the main cable of the USB HUB with OTG cable, then connect the OTG cable with your Android Mobile.
Wait for 10 second, and then try the controller's stick to navigate through menu, if it works then you will be able to play any games that supports gamepad.
My device is Xperia TX(LT29i) and my device supports the XBOX 360 Controller with 100% comparability by following Method 2. Mainly the USB HUB optimizes power consumption of Controller. I have tried Dead Trigger, and works perfectly.
Now all the games doesn't support Gamepad. Here I'm giving you a site which has a list of games that supports Gamepad.
http://www.videomap.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4
So that's all friends. Don't forget to give thanks. :cyclops: :cyclops: :cyclops:
Although I appreciate you posting this, this is ancient news mate.
Congrats, you've won the Internet!
My phone is T. Xperia T.

may need this app: "USB/BT Joystick Center" or similar app from play store, or use some method to install appropriate drivers (root needed) such as "xpad" or "xinput" driver (Xbox controller) or other appropriate driver file. Sometimes generic or logitech controllers work great without download/installing app/files.
I tested two USB wired controllers on my Jiayu G4 phone. Logitech Dual Shock works, but Xbox 360 does not. My phone "sees" the Xbox controller as a USB device, but nothing else...
Powered HUB with mouse, keyboard and gamepad-controller (and optional USB storage) simultaneously work fine.

Samsung Dex (generic)

Yesterday I received a Rocketek Dex station from amazon, I purchased it for 26.99 thought I would post on here because I think its pretty good.
small and cheap it can fit in your pocket dont need to buy that huge Samsung dex station for over $100 either.

I also use this Bluetooth keyboard/mouse pad to use with the dex, It is one of best I found, because it has metal back very thin, and light. The metal back I never thought would be able to find on a keyboard/mouse like this.

Agree. I am using it for some time now and have had no issues at all.... Works as Sammy's Dex.
Does it work for Dex? Because lots of the reviews online say no.
I have a KSWNG unit, which looks similar. It works great on my Nintendo Switch, but I am having some issues with it running Dex. It requires power to load Dex. Without power, it only does screen mirroring. When I use external power, my full USB port stops functioning. I can only use either/or.
Yes works with dex, turns on dex on note 8
Are you running stock Samsung firmware?
Is external power required for Dex on your unit?
Can you charge AND use USB while using Dex?
My Note 8 is using CRA9 Oreo, requires external power to turn on Dex (screen mirroring without), and adding power will disable the Full USB port.
So I can do screen mirroring with my keyboard/mouse, OR Dex using the phone as a touchpad.
I am on 7.1.1 I am not sure if it runs without external power.
It has 3 ports 1 usb c to charge 1 HDMI 1 usb
Then a male usb c to connect to the phone
I am asking if you can charge AND use the USB port for external mouse/keyboard.
All of the reviews I've seen/read say that the Rocketek only uses Dex without power, however I think Samsung is trying to kill off these 3rd party adapters by requiring Power during use, which my adapter disables the USB port.
Can you confirm you can run Dex while charging and using a USB mouse?
I just told you it has 3 ports one usb, one usb c, one HDMI, what else would you do with a usb c then to charge it, then a usb c male to plug into phone did you look at the pictures look at Amazon at all or the reviews you can answer your own question

I use this one. It's ridiculously tiny and well made; the USB C that plugs into the note 8 folds into the back of the hub. Works flawlessly with Samsung dex with and without power. I'm on Dr. KETAN'S N5 ROM. I use DEX MAX free app to allow all my apps to display full screen. Everything is perfect.
I have one too. It doesn't show the charging light, but it does in fact charge. I'm using a lightning charger. I also have a K400 hooked up and it works well. I have all 3 8 series phones and it works fine. For sure not as robust as the dock, but I keep mine I a case.
EDIT
Using it now. It is a fast charge. I have never used it with a "slow" USB wall wart.
Do any of these support ultrawide monitors (2560x1080)? I have the DeX Station connected to a LG Ultrawide display, and I end up with vertical black bands on both sides.
Or perhaps this is a software limitation, rather than hardware.
I believe it supports same as normal dex, so what ever the normal one can do, 4k I think is possible but could be wrong
It seems interesting. Is it possible to charge the phone while the dock is being used as Dex?
Does this still work? I heard Samsung updated it to no longer work with 3rd party stations.

I'm on January security patch and just used my generic Dex yesterday, also another question above, it (fast) charges at same time when the unit is plugged into a fast charger.

I have an LG ultrawide and have full screen in dex mode, Note running in high performance mode with whatever screen settings that is, I do get a pop up message about screen settings but it goes away and I have full screen

Can you post a picture of your Ultrawide using Dex in 21:9? Is it streched?

Running a Note 8 with Oreo and have a generic USB-C to USB dock that I got off of amazon and Dex is working great. Even bought a usb-c extension cable for it (just came today) and it all works brilliantly.
