Hey all i was kind of wondering if there was an adapter that could go into the micro usb port on my N7 and transmit HDMI in to it from an Xbox 360...I am an avid traveler and gamer and like to bring my xbox with me as well as my N7 every where I go and wanted to see if I could use the N7's crisp screen as a monitor (though it would be small obviously). Anyone know of such an adapter? I have been searching on Amazon for something like this but was not sure how to tell the difference between a standard HDMI output micro USB adapter to one that received input. Thanks in advance for any help I may receive

Short answer... no. Definitely not with any cable or adapter... as for wireless... I'm about 99.9% sure the answer is also no... not without setting up some sort of in-home personal cloud gaming server using your own game console then stream it over the air and sync a controller to your n7... lol that would be awesome... but afaik no such thing exists

Anyway I can connect my external USB hdd to the atrix and play my movies from the hdd to the tv using the atrix?
Lol that's a bit much don't you think. I understand hdd to Atrix but hdd to Atrix to tv lol wouldn't it be easier to connect your pc to the tv or laptop/netbook to tv? But anyways lol I can only assume mini usb to micro usb would work but im not sure if the Atrix has the capability to read something via usb as all if features are for output not input. But I could be wrong guess it wouldn't hurt to look for a male male mini to micro cable
But thats just my 2 cents

That's the Problem, my pc is to far away from the tv and the netbook I have can't play 1080p and I can only connect it via VGA so I prefer connecting the atrix. I don't think it's so difficult, if the atrix recognizes the hdd then i would just connect the webtop or the hdmi mirror. I wanna use the atrix as a media center. If I could install boxer or xbmc on the atrix it would be perfect.
What you are looking for is usb OTG support. Not sure if the atrix has it or not

I dont get why its so "bit much"... for me theres no explanation a phone have support for 1080p and can't handle files bigger than 2gb (cause the fat32 support only)....
A external HD could provide the support for those files and you could be using that as a player with the Entertainment Center... unfortunatelly I dont have a HD Multimedia Dock with the USB ports... had anyone tried to plug an external HDD ?
if its possible it'd be kinda hot
spin off question,
can you plug an external hdd to the lapdock ?
if the answer is yes .... then it might be possible
It would be interesting, but you can get a box to play video from a usb drive for under $100 so once you factor in the time and trouble it is probably just cheaper to go buy a roku or wdtv or something like those.
looking it up you can get an external hdd to work with laptop or hd dock so you should be able to in theory too with just the phone, but with the fat32 limits of 4gb max per file, that kinda cuts down on the size of HD video you can play

Okay deep breath.
Short answer: Yes. Get your wallet ready.
Your asking several different questions.
Can I connect my ext usb?
This is an interesting question, i would like to know the answer as well. There is only one way to find out. Plug it up! You need a female usb to male micro usb to do this I imagine. At Google IO one of the announcements was that Ice Cream Sandwich will have the drivers or whatever needed to connect any usb built in.
Please nobody post or go start a new thread saying "when do we get ICSOMGWTFBBQ?".
Can i play movies from the Atrix to the tv?
Yes. Google TV. I heard Kevin Bacon loves it. Its very simple, whatever app you in: share< Google TV< enjoy
Can i play movies from the hdd to the tv?
Yes. You need a tv that has that feature, many do.
Alternatively, a dlna certified router w hdd capabilities will stream anything to anything else dlna certified. Your atrix is dlna, you have an app for that. Is your tv dlna? If not you can buy one, then use the Atrixs dlna to control the streaming of your hdd routers dlna to your dlna tv.
Hey there, i will be buying my first tablet - Nexus 7 (32gb) as i will be using it for gaming, reading, watching TV shows/movies etc
My main concern was regarding connecting storage devices
1. How could i connect the tablet with a USB Flash-drive? could i use an OTG USB Connector to sync the two so i can get data from my flash-drive via the tablet? is there a specific one i should get or any should work and where can i buy one. is it compatible?
2. As there is no HDMI input, how can i connect the tablet to my TV, if i wanted to show pictures on the TV. Could i get the MHL Cable HDMI connector, as i saw best buy carries them.
Thank you

yes this supports usb otg cable and it works flawlessely and you can also stream movies from usb flash drive
just google it how to use otg cable on nexus 7
and for the hdmi i doubt i heard that this tab doesnt support?? but still not sure
You can attach an OTG cable. You can either do it rooted or you can get apps to help you stream data from the external drive. Many people like to use Nexus media importer, though it's a paid app. People buy from 80 cent cables to $5+ ones and work fine. Just read reviews on what you plan to buy.
There is no HDMI support though in 4.2 update that is coming out soon, you can stream to your TV if you get an adapter.
While I love my N7, if you are huge on media consumption, you might want to look at the kindle fire HD. The only downside is that you are stuck in the amazon ecosystem but it has the HDMI support.

The above is only a rumor.. Its not confirmed.. Matter a fact there is some speculation that the device is not capable for full mira-cast encoding.

I want to connect my Nexus to my PS3 via HDMI cable so I can play "on the go". I have a HDMI to MicroHDMI adapter and a HDMI cable, Nexus isn't rooted yet.
So is this possible? it would be kind of nice to be able to do.
Thanks.

Unfortunately it's impossible to do a hardware based video input. Wireless however though I'm not sure.

I would do some searching around and see if there is anything PS3 related to display mirroring and then see if they use display mirroring standards that would recognize the Nexus 10 running something like AirDisplay.
It's definitely possible via PC or Mac to Android but my guess is anything that is available for PS3 is going to be something where you'll need to ability to run homebrew on PS3. Also, keep in mind, at least with my Mac to N10 experiences, I am only getting frame rates in the neighborhood of 5-10fps, so that's not going to cut it unless you've got a checkers or chess PS3 game.
Does your device has Dlna ? you may use it
Hello, I have a Google Nexus 7 tabled and I like it very much. The only flaw I see is the screen colors but for budget tablet is is ok.
I have a question: Does Nexus 7 supports any microUSB to HDMI cable ?
I have read numerous posts in the internet about how Nexus 7 does not support neither HDMI or OTG - but I have a OTG cable and it works great, mice, keyboards, flash drives and even a 1 TB external hard drive work great on the tablet.
So I bought this cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-1-5ft-1-5...912&pid=100015&prg=1085&rk=1&sd=230893786628&
but after I received it - I can't make anytong to make the cable work.
does anyone have any info on how to make it work or is is a possibility at all to have HDMI output on Nexus 7.
thanks.
As far as I know, n7 doesn't support any kind of HDMI out. As they have labeled that item as for the nexus 7 they are wrong... Correct me if I'm wrong.

Nope, sorry but there is no way. Unless no way known to me...and believe me, I made a very wide research!
Hi guys,
Has anyone tried to use projector with a HDMI adapter plugged to Nexus 4? In work I use projector with my laptop for powerpoint and I was curious if it would be possible to do it on my Nexus 4.
There is one on amazon for £24, but before I buy it I would like to know if anyone had any experience in using it and how good the battery drain is, image quality etc.
Have a nice day guys and enjoy your Nexus 4
Yep, I use mine all the time. Mostly to play games or watch netflix but it should work with anything you want to do.

The method of connecting your Nexus to a projector via HDMI will be pretty much the same as if you were hooking it up to a TV. You need to make sure that the HDMI adapter you are looking at buying is a Slimport adapter, and not an MHL adapter, just in case you didn't know. As far as battery drain, you do have the option to plug in a charger while using slim port to help mitigate drain, but it's not required (unlike MHL where external power is required). I cannot comment on real-world expectations though
