Nexus 7 tv out?

Do they sell an Hdmi cable that is compatible with this tab so I can connect it to my tv?

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.

Have a look at the video in this thread.

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.

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.

nexus 7 =199
nexus q 299

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.

If stay away from RS as they have had huge problems shipping product, any of the Farnell companies have been ok.
I've got two of them, one originally for the Android Transporter..

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.

Wireless HDMI adapter

On the new 4.2 'what's new' website from android it says
" Share what’s on your phone on the big screen.
Android 4.2 allows devices to enable wireless display. You can share movies, YouTube videos, and anything that’s on your screen on an HDTV. Just connect a wireless display adapter to any HDMI-enabled TV to mirror what’s on your screen quickly and easily."
Source: www.android.com/whatsnew
This makes me curious. Searched already for that, but it looks like only devices for notebooks including an Intel wireless chip are supported right now.
But I'm looking forward to project my nexus 10 screen wireless to my TV.
Does anybody know which devices are when available? And more important which devices are compatible with the nexus 10?

This is called Miracast. Essentially, international standard of the Mac's Airplay, or Intel's WiDi. Though I have heard its not quite ready yet on Nexus 10.

I'm pretty sure Miracast is going to be integrated into WiDi. Also, the guy I talked to from Google said the Nexus 10 will ship with Miracast enabled.
But what I'm really wondering is, can I use a WiFi enabled device, or something plugged into a router (My PC) as a receiver, without buying a $70 box? If it's just a WiFi protocol, why shouldn't this work?

I have yet to see this confirmed for the Nexus 10. You say a guy from Google says it has it, but other people are reporting that they can't find it on their devices. Is it a software thing, or is the wireless dongle required? I'd love to learn more about it. Would be great for presentations and stuff.

So far this supports Miracast but Ive read the reviews on Amazon and it seems the device isnt quite ready.
Soon as I get my N10 Im heading out to get this and post back to see if it does indeed work and if N10 does have Miracast enabled.

My understanding is that miracast is a point to point wifi, no router involved. My thoughts is that they do this for bandwidth issues.

TF701 & 3G dongle

Hi all,
i would like to buy a tablet + keyboard + 3g but the old generation (tf300tg/tf300tl) seems to be no more available here in Italy (i just bought it on amazon.it but it came with the French localization, "azerty" keybord).
I'm wondering if someone ever managed to run an 3g dongle (USB) on the tf7001 (usb on keybord) . This seems to be possible on the tf700 with root and a specific app but i didn't find any info about the tf701.
any suggestion?

I think this device is too new to have some experience with this.
What you could do is search in the TF700 thread what software was used to make it work and test it yourself on your own TF701 after you bought it with a dongle and report here your findings.

3G works flawlessly with my Huawei E160 Dongle and the PPPWidget App. You can get it for free in the Play Store.

Or just use a MiFi like everyone else.

Well in the UK it is but seems to have been crested by three.
Everyone I know uses them. You can connect up to 5 devises simultaneously. Battery lasts 30 days on standby, 10 hours continous use. USB dongles are dead.

Outside of battery life is there any advantage to using one of these vs just tethering on my phone?

I added another I to your link, just to check. For some reason I was sure that You were talking about making your "M"obile phone active as W"ifi" access point, but this is a little different. Is there some speed gain in this version against making your phone act like WAP ?

Oops copy and paste fail
It creates a wirless hotspot - whilst connected to 4G - so you get very fast speeds. Also you don't need any drivers or for it to physically connected.

Yeah, but that's what my HTC One also does, as long as our provider does actually deliver 4G (does not work so well). Also here no drivers needed, anyway MiFi is not exactly what I thought, but I was close.
So why the dongle?

No MHL?

Hey everyone. I gotta say, the droid turbo is an incredible phone even without the promised 48 hour battery life. However, I can not find any info on support for MHL or not. I've got a pioneer radio (this one to be exact) that demands it and so far I can't get it to work. Any help/alternatives to MHL? Thanks.

When I looked for the spec everything I read kept referring to some form of casting or mirroring wirelessly. I am disappointed and pretty confident there is no MHL

I don't know about MHL, but it is compatible with WiDi, MiraCast and AllCast/AllShare.
Just turn on your WiFi then bring up the toggles from the notifications screen and you will see a Cast Screen option.

Yeah i knew that, but i don't know how to get the radio to communicate with my phone.

This is on Motorola site. Doesn't say what phone it works with but I would assume it would work with ours. Too bad it's out of stock for the $3 bucks they want I would have given it a shot.

Pretty sure that's for the older phones that had mini-HDMI ports on them.

I think it is too. Is there a way to stream to a chromecast without a network?

Any luck on this? I just recently bought a pioneer radio as well, and trying to do the same thing. I have everything connected, but it turbo doesn't play along. Have you made any progress with yours? Bought a new phone that does support mhl??

Droid Turbo doesn't support video out over a wired connection. Your best bet is to buy a Miracast dongle like the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter or Belkin Miracast Adapter and an HDMI coupler (Female to Female).
Connect the coupler to the HDMI sticking out of the radion and connect the adapter to the coupler. You'll need to provide power the wireless adapter as well.
For the Pioneer radio set the settings to HDMI connection type for AppRadio Mode, pair the Bluetooth from phone the radio and go to your display settings on your phone and connect to the wireless adapter.
PM me if you need more help.

Android Auto on the Asus ROG Phone II - does it work? Considering buying

Hi all, I'm considering the Asus ROG Phone II for my next phone, but I wanted to find out if anyone has used Android Auto (with a car's built-in touchscreen) without any issues? For example, My Pixel OG works perfectly with Android Auto, the HTC 10 and Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra both work although have little quirks from time to time, and I'm reading that several different Samsung phones on Android 10 have problems working with Android Auto.
Does anyone here use Android Auto with this phone often enough to report back? I'd appreciate as much detail as possible if you're willing to spare the time.
TIA

Been using my ROG Phone 2 with my Nissan Android Auto head unit for over 5 months. No problem here.

Awesome! Thank you!

I haven't had any issues either.

I use it in my '17 Vette. Works great with Waze and Power Amp.

Thanks all for your input!
