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.

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.
Sorry if this has already been asked but does the Verizon tab support TV out? And if yes does anyone know if it will work with confidence and paranoia?

I had the Medial Link for about 10 days. Used it once on the first day and never used it again. Its great for looking at pictures, but when I was watching Youtube, I had audio sync (i.e. lag) issues. Returned it yesterday.
Does anyone have one of these that can tell me more about it?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Micro-U..._PDA_Cables_Adapters&var=&hash=item3cd4db7fb9
Looks like from the bottom of the listing it states:
"Attention: The MHL, OTG,Card reader and Charge function only can be used one at the same time. cannot use it together
all functions can be used only when the adapter is being charged"
Not a bad price, but if I can't at least use HDMI + another function like SD card or USB peripherals it seems a little redundant
Thoughts?

Hi.
Have you received your HDMI kit yet? Does it work?
I received mine today but unfortunately, the HDMI function does not work at all, I don't know if it is my TV or the device is defective.
The OTG function works only if external power is plugged in which makes this device almost useless. There is no way to plug in the external power and SD card at the same time.
My phone is running Jedi X16.
Update:
I read the instruction manual and confirmed that external power supply is required for all functions of this device. So we can forget about using it as a portable OTG doggle.
I also connected a USB keyboard and a USB mouse to it and both worked at the same time.
So the remaining question is whether the HDMI works with Jedi X. I tried it on two Panasonic TVs and both didn't work.
2nd Update
Read the forum and found that I have to turn on Airplane Mode for HDMI to work. My phone did detected the HDMI cable but no video out. Used my other cheap MHL cable and video was displayed on my TV. So it seems that my device is defective.

Any updates?
It works as an OTG adapter but you have to plug in power first to make it works so it is not too convenient.
It didn't work as an HDMI adapter no matter how I connected it to my TV.
Initially I thought it was defective, the seller had sent me an replacement but with same result.

I have the official mhl adapter from Samsung. Bought it on Amazon uk at a great price. Must buy from Amazon and not from of the other sellers from Hong Kong
Anyhow just mentioning that it too needs to have power supplied for it to work. I just plug a cheap usb cable into a usb port on either the satellite decoder box or the tv and that works fine.
Btw the Samsung mhl adopter works amazingly well. I've had absolutely no problems using it to watch Netflix, streaming tv, YouTube, or playing videos from the sd card. Everything I've thrown at it works really well.

One of these hdmi/usb/card reader devices?
I already have a cheapo MHL adapter which works fine (yes, you need power plugged in). But I wanted to add USB OTG, and this seems the only device that will give it to me on the cheap. So I'd really like to know if anyone has one that works with HDMI and USB at the same time.
I also find it hard to believe how so many sellers out there can be selling these when it's physically impossible to plug in an SD card at the same time as the micro USB plugged in for power. That's obviously a massive design fault.
Once the connection kit and the power are plugged in and the phone detected the existence of the adapter, you can remove the power and insert the USB drive or SD card.

I dont have any recommendation for you, the one that I suggest you to avoid is getting the Netgear PTV3000, updated all the firmware, this thing sucks. It drops connection, your image will freeze. Tried with multiple devices same result.

I tried the Netgear PTV3000 and it was bad. But if you are in a market for a new HDTV, look for one that support DLNA/Miracast. I have an LG HDTV that support both and I mirror my phone all the time, looks great and very stable.

The slimport just mirrors the phone through a direct connection to the monitor/TV. It works flawlessly. But I realize now that OP was looking for a wireless Miracast solution though. Silly me.
All the Miracst dongles I've looked at had bad reviews. I hope you guys find one that really works consistently. It would be nice to have wireless mirroring on any TV/monitor and I'd rather not go to a Chromecast solution.
i would also like to know of a good and reliable miracast dongle. was hoping chromecast would have an update so it can support mirroring from an android device or at least a mod/hack to enable it but there are none.
I have the Rocketfish one from Bestbuy and it works well. I have used it with a Nexus 10, Nexus 7 2013, Droid DNA, Note 10.1 2014, Shield and a LG G2. It has occasional tearing once in a while but the Shield for whatever reason works the best. I guess due to the 720p screen and not 1080p. I got it a few months ago on sale for $29.99 which I think it is on sale again. It is worth $29.99 but I would not pay $79.99 for it.
I have the PTV3000 use it on my S4, N5, N7, G2, MAXX without issues, there's a few firmware updates that fix a lot of issues. I use it to stream my Slingbox to my TV, there's a slight delay...but don't notice it since I don't watch the phone, just the TV

The PTV3000 also will do WiDi, too, correct?
I'd really like an all in one solution (computer, phone, tablet, etc), which is portable, and lag free. I know there really isn't anything like that out there currently. I am hoping the ASUS dongle will at least take care of the lag problems.
One question. Can you use Wifi internet when using Miracast on LGTV since its using Wifi-Direct.
