Nexus 7 tv out?

Do they sell an Hdmi cable that is compatible with this tab so I can connect it to my tv?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Last I read, the Nexus 7 didn't have MHL capabilities.

I believe this function was going to be added through the use of Nexus Q & Google TV systems. However that's officially on the back burner.

I am not sure if u can stream via hdmi fom nexus to TV, but if it is possible this is the cable u would need.
HDMI to Micro Type D

Not mhl compatible, but maybe a future dock will have that.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

the future dock would still require the tablet to be mhl capable, therefore no, there is no and will be no way to directly plug the tablet into a television, what there is hope for is streaming via a nexus q device.

Hey folks, I'm new here. Have been lurking a bit.
I've been bugging Nexus support staff about features/upcoming features.. as I'd expected, they're pretty hush-hush
One guy even fibbed to me, saying that a USB OTG cable and peripherals such as keyboard, mouse, usb drives.. will not work with the Nexus, even if I unlock it. Maybe he just didn't know any better.
Anyhow, I love this little device, but the lack of tv-out in the form of display mirroring is flat-out pissing me off.
I'm not experienced with coding for android devices by any means, but I did have an idea. (If Nvidia doesn't certify Nexus 7 for Miracast sometime in the near future.. it IS a tegra 3 device, so I'm hoping they do. It may be the solution to our problem.)
...This idea could be too fantastic to be a realistic possibility, but I thought it was worth a share..
What if an apk could "trick" the protocol for displaying video via wifi on droid devices?
What if the receiver could detect the incoming signal as a video file, and the app on the device could trick the nexus (or other non-MHL droid device) into treating the screen display as a video file?
Since the latency between displaying video on the Nexus and displaying it on a television via wifi isn't bad (from what I know), it COULD be practical enough for gaming, if it were done correctly.
TL;DR, the app would screen-capture the display, and send it to a receiver as if it were a compatible video file.
Am I just speaking fantasy-talk? Is this feasible? Thoughts?

The tegra3 has wifi streaming similar to apples airplay. The receivers just aren't out yet. Reading up that tmobiles SGIII will have a premium pack with some kind of aircard device that streams video over wifi for $99.
I think we are also waiting on Dlink. You can already do this with a rasberryPi for a good DYI solution.
I'm waiting for someone to make a box and a roku channel that captures streams on the network.

Right...with the N7 as a controller/interface to drive the Q.

Guys, have a look at this : http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter-for-the-nexus-7-and-the-raspberry-pi/
Seems great but the only problem I see is that it requires to install a custom rom to use it.

The german translation is honest: you need an MHL-Device to use this adapter. As we know the nexus 7 isn't configured with one. It won't work.

Voice calls on 3g Nexus 7

What do you think is the possibility of us getting this function guys, even if its not officially supported.
I've seen it built in on the 7" samsung galaxy tab 2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ9RNhJAgjE&feature=bf_next&list=HL1351349133
Its not ideal, but im thinking it could be a useful feature so you at least have the option of just taking one device when your out and about :good:

If they had voice calls and especially messaging, then I would totally buy this as a replacement to my phone.
As a response to your question, I am pretty sure that it can be done, heck if the app is just deactivated on the stock ROM, it might be re-activeable, right?

I think messaging would be reasonably easy to activate.
The thing with voice calls is that you would either have to do them via speakerphone, headphones or bluetooth kit. I think I could live with that though for the functionality of a full 7" tablet experience. Its not something I would use in replacement to a phone every day but I'd at least like to have the option, and play with it a bit.
I was going to pick up the 32gb wifi and just tether it to my phone, but with past devices (ipad to phone) this hasn't always been a completely reliable experience and I'd like a backup plan.
So if the 3g device doesn't have much of a price premium I can see me picking one of those up instead. Im hoping its a $50 premium to the 3g device, if its $100 I won't bother.

Enabling the phone app can be easily done. The question is now well the Bluetooth support will. In the current WiFi models Bluetooth headset support has been very unstable (in headset profile). This is the idle way one would make a phone calls a voice enabled 3g n7.

Well let's hope with the arrival of the 3g model there will be more incentive for developers to address the issue.

Yes there are compromises. Headset or speaker phone calls I cam like with.. The not having a camera would be annoying though... :crying:

All you would need is to copy the phone apk over and get 'er done.
Funny we're talking about it because a few weeks ago I had my N7 at a football party and we we're joking how awesome my new phone was. Everyone was holding it up to their ear and making up stupid fake phone conversations. Haha.
They're all mostly S3 and Note owners btw.

I believe that T-Mobile (U.S) has separate SIM cards for phones and tablets. You can't just take the SIM out of your phone and put it in a tablet. Is there a workaround for this?

Our devices already have phone.apk in the system/app directory.... its our framework that needs to be tweaked to allow voice calls. If you try to copy phone.apk over or install it then you will get a message that you will replace a system app are you sure you want to so it.
Our framework is compiled to hide the app as well as some other changes need to be made to XML files in the framework.res area.

What he said + need to make sure the modem will support voice calls in addition to data PLUS let's hope google will fixe the horrible bug the wifi N7 has with BT headset profile where in 99% of the time the mic doesn't work (otherwise you will only be able to make call with the speaker phone which is lame).

What I'm most interested in is having a connection for data without a wifi connection. Is that what this is supposed to be? If so, Skype could be my primary "phone". Could even bring my current cell number over when my VZ contract is up.
Not sure what everyone is talking about for the BT headphone issues. I use SKYPE now on my 16GB Nexus 7 with RocketFish RF-MAB headset and the headphone and microphone work perfectly.

I thought the question was what to use for voip. But now you change to tethering. I for tethering you have several choices.
First wifi hotspot
Second Bluetooth tethering
Third otg data stick method.
For Bluetooth I can recommend open garden even though Skype does not work with it. Tethering works fine out of box on mobile phones. And about the data dongle with otg cable you can find quite enough threads about it.

Wireless Display (Miracast)

Has anyone actually managed to make the Nexus 4 Wireless Display option work? Not much info around the web on it. Mainly people failing miserably.
I have an LG TV (47LM6610) which (apparently) supports "Screen Share" and it detects the Nexus 4, sends it an invite, I accept on the Nexus, the TV shows the Nexus as a connected device but the Nexus still shows nothing in its Wireless Display devices list.
Tried everything! Have emailed LG support and they were pretty dismissive and simply confirmed that it "should work". Sent an enquiry to Google support but not holding my breath.
Anyone had any luck with this or is it yet another half baked feature?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Depends whether it's half baked on the TV or the phone
What happens often with these new standards is nobody talks to each other so they all implement it slightly differently.

Hilarious (or sad?) that one of the Nexus 4's major features gets released without a single compatible device?! Even when using two devices from the same manufacturer.
I'd love to hear a success story but I highly doubt there is one out there.

Neither sad nor hilarious, just a classical case of the technological forerunner. Happened to pretty much every nontrivial technology. Some (like bluetooth profiles) did not overcome their problems till this day.
Regarding LG, their TV branch does not necessary even talk to the smartphone branch, much less to google.

Hopefully we'll see some proper miracast sinks sooner rather than later - at least there's demonstration videos showing up lately, that should be a good sign?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL14GaqzIUw
Latency seems quite good from what I can tell. I also like form factor!
Now the dropped frames on the other hand.. I guess the source is to blame? Let's see if the Nexus 4 does a better job at that

Obviously one product needs to be released before the other, especially one sided puts pressure to get implemented on the other side. Also its a software technology so that it's made by lg has no relevance whatsoever.
As far as I remember, Bluetooth existed on handsets long before anything used it. also TV software is a new thing, can't expect it to launch with that much implementation with phones when synergy between phones and TVs really has only been around for around two years or so.
Besides, when miracast was announced it was clear it was not backward compatible.

I've ordered the Netgear PTV3000 even that still have some bugs but I think they will update the firmware to connect with Nexus 4. There is a YouTube demonstrate it can work with Sony Phone that is Miracast support.

It is actually the other way round: Netgear PTV3000 is not known to properly support Miracast yet.

But LG TVs do mention WiFi Screen Share and WiDi. Its unlikely that they would mention Miracast as its not a very marketing friendly.

WiDi is Intel's standard, it supports Miracast as of version 3.5.
If it doesn't say Miracast, then assume it's not compatible.

Yes, WiDi v3.5 was announced just recently in last september.
Which means current LG TVs are likely to sport older WiDi versions which are not miracast compatible and won't connect to Nexus4 (or any other Miracast device for that matter).

Dying to find out
This is probably my most desired feature on this handset having tried for years to create software and services that would do it on all my other phones.
My flatmate has an HTC MediaLink HD, and from what I understand from the protocols and how that works, using wifi direct etc and seeing the screen mirroring work on his One X, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work with the N4, but I guess only time will tell - yep, still waiting for my "order confirmation" to be turned into a "tracking email"
As soon as I get it and tried it out I'll post back.

Use iMediaShare!

I have the Samsung Allshare Wireless Hub. It does not work with the Nexus 4. It pairs, but will not display audio/video at all.

Isn't it funny how the 3 new "standards" the N4 is pushing aren't really that universal?
Devices claiming Miracast devices don't work with the N4, yet
The Nokia Qi Chargers don't work with the Nexus 4
Slimport isn't as ubiquitous as MHL

That does DLNA not Miracast.

DLNA is merely a "file fetcher". A network drive interface.
Don't get me wrong that is extremely useful. I download torrents on my phone and play them on my TV all day. But you know what? I'd actually buy most movies and shows I watch if I could mirror Google TV to my TV. No, I am not gonna buy a box for that, it defeats the purpose to me. I'd buy blu-rays if I wanted to use extra hookups.

This is not possible with the nexus 7. The nexus 4 indeed has additional hardware to enable this feature that the 7 lacks.

The Nexus 7 doesn't have MHL support for this to be possible. The Nexus 4 on the other hand does so that's why it can be used. If I recall correctly the Nexus 7 can't put out any form of video to be broadcasted onto another screen/monitor/tv)

This is not MHL. The lack of MHL on the N7 is well-known. The slimport tech is quite new, and the info on anandthech left the impression that the tablets/phones implement it on a software level. Oh well, a man can dream. :silly:

Signs are not good... the moto x 2014 doesn't have slimport or MHL

I use the slimport of N5 everyday to a TV. If there's no slimport or MHL, what options do I have for screenmirroring without wifi?

I guess we'll see if the screen mirroring technology has improved. My Nexus 5 is hit or miss. If there's no Slimport support, I hope it can mirror good. I use the crap out of my Slimport for movies & tv.

I desperately need this feature as well, MHL/SlimPort/MirrorLink, ONE of the 3 will do. I have an NEX4000 Pioneer head unit and I use my phone to display navigation on the touchscreen DAILY. With one of these 3 technologies not only does it mirror my phones display on my head unit, it also alows the touchscreen on my radio to control my phone AND my phone screen can be off. both of these are impossible with mirrorcast and other wifi video sources. This will really annoy me if all the sudden I cant use navigation in my car.

Pioneer has been pretty good about adding features through firmware updates. Since they were able to add CarPlay to the 4000NEX, they should also be able to add Android Auto when that comes out. If they do, you won't need MHL to use Google Maps on your head unit.

While Google does not support third-party display adapters, or guarantee that Nexus devices will work with these third-party adapters, the Nexus 6 may work with third-party display adapters.
If a recent OS update causes a Nexus device to stop working with a display adapter, contact the manufacturer of the adapter.
