With HDMI mirroring, does sound also come out of the tv?

.. 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.

Haven't tried it my self, but I think a friend of mine said the sound comes from BOTH the phone and TV ?? Can you confirm that ?

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

Video output

Is there any accessories, which should I order to connect my Nexus 7 to video projector (HDMI, VGA)?

I thought there was a USB to HDMI cable somewhere... i found it in a other post.
dont have a link..

I was under the assumption the N7 has no video out support?

You mean anything like this http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapter-IMPROVED-Protocol-Sensation/dp/B005F9W6DU?

So it seems it will not work http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/29/3127278/nexus-7-mhl-usb-otg

Did't know that.. like other things about the N7
so i dont have to order this.

I was hoping it would have usb host aka usb on the go so that I could hook up my Canon DSLR and use this as a remote shutter/video screen for shooting advanced movies etc. It was more of a side wish, but not a killing point, however I really do hope future firmwares would include this.

I'm guessing google don't want any video out accessory because they plan on selling the Nexus Q

no MHL and no HDMI.
basically there is no video-out on the device. sucks but true.

No MHL
Not having MHL support and no support to external HDD/pen drive was a big disappointment indeed.
For the lack of MHL, there might be soon a great alternative: Android Transporter software + Raspberry Pi
For external HDD/pen drive support, I'm sure someone will figure out a solution soon

Wireless Mirroring

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

Look at mirrorop in market.
U can mirror nexus on a PC, or on another tablet/one.
I mirrored my Xoom to nexus7 and had xoom connected to TV so I had the Xoom screen on my TV and my nexus 7 and full control of xoom from my 7.

Miracast

if you have a pc connected to the display http://pptremotecontrol.com/ is great for Power Point presentations on the android device you can see the slide and notes, control the presentation and a virtual pointer on the screen.

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.

You might want to consider a device like this the infinitec pocket tv http://shop.infinitec.com/ is is not a method to let you use your nexus but it is a android device with a hdmi output and a remote control. easy to carry and a lot less expensive than a pc.

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.
Decent article on it:

.... I give up hope for humanity's stupidity
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.

HTC One to Dell Monitor

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:

Because there is no way to sideload anything into the unit...It has virtually no place to put apps.
CCast is really just a glorified Chrome Browser when you get right down to it. When you cast something to it, It loads up a webpage (player/receiver app) that has the code to play the content you sent. That is why it requires internet connection to operate because it needs to be able to access those URLs to load it's player apps.
I doubt the CCast even has enough storage space built into it to run Kodi.
It's very different from a FireTV which is basically just an Android stick device with a Amazon branded Launcher.
If you want Kodi you are better off with one of those cheap AMLOGIC 905 Android boxes. You get a remote, can expand the storage capacity with an SD Card, and get a full Android to run any APK you want including Netflix and Hulu. If you shop around you can find them for just a few dollars more than a CCast costs.
PLUS most units are compatible with Win10 Cast To Device feature.

Yea, was thinking of my tv, which sideloads just fine.
With that said, there is apparently a reasonable way to cast kodi, though still seems just screencasting.

Your TV probably runs AndroidTV which is very much like FireTV in that it is running a full android operating system with a custom loader. Unfortunately even AndroidTV has some limitations in the Play Store of what apps you can put on it which is why it hasn't sold very well.
Not that you can avoid it these days, but I advise my friends to ignore all the smart features when buying a TV and just look for the best bang for buck on resolution and picture quality. If you want a smart TV it is much better to buy an external box which can be upgraded easily without having to wait for the manufacturer to catch up to current tech.
There was a time where you could get a great TV sans any Smart capabilities without paying the SMART TV premium but today just about all TVs have some smart built in. They rarely get updated, Rarely get the same support as native Android does and eventually that processor will be too slow to run the latest and greatest software.
TV can last years and still work but how many have an Android device that is over 5 years old and still useable?
I say find the dumbest TV you can find that has a great picture and add whatever smarts you want externally!
They are even selling TV mounting hardware to hide the box and wiring!

Thank you for the input, getting my old Nexus 5 setup to be the streaming device to cast kodi to Chromecast.

Does the N5 have an HDMI output? (I think it does with an adapter...
You could just plug that into the TV and add Kodi to it. Then use any Kodi remote (like the Official or Yatse) to control the device from your current phone.
You wouldn't even need the ccast then.
