This is NOT going to happen ever.. Unless you find a wireless to Android Cable ready(assuming you have cable) Digital (assuming your cable is digital) Tv tuner .If you find such a product let us all know... Actually there is a DTV tuner thread in here someplace . but its a euro version i think...
Good Luck

I don't think that passes video back and forth, which is what the OP is looking for.
Maybe this one?

I'm not sure if this is just a remote or what.

The Samsung smart TV app only worked for me on a Samsung tablet. The basic Samsung remote app Will work with the exception of the screen mirror part. Works as a remote only

ImediaShare works well with Nexus 7 and DLNA LCDs, actually better than AllShare.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the ideas, my aim is to watch on my tablet what I can watch on my smart TV but in an other room e.g. if I am watching DVD on my TV my partner can see it the same from the bedroom as well. Basically like a second screen with the same program on it.
I hope that is give some extra help.
I think the same like if I watch my dreambox on the TV and I can see the same channel on my PC that kind of stuff what I want to achieved if it is possible but with my Nexus 7. Any idea...
:good:
Thanks guys

My suggestion will be to use the HDMI adapter to connect to a projector. You can get it from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-TabTM-HDTV-Adapter/dp/B0059UGT1K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349202750&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+tab+hdmi+adapter
I'll try at home tonight and let you know my results.

The fellow GNote 10.1 owners can use this killing feature and the coolest way to present: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32144287&postcount=11.
I have tried before to present with the direct cables connection HDMI connector + HDMI to VGA but it is not workable at all, just see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En4O-6MMk5c, too much hassle.
With the Allshare Cast dongle, it is so free to present and express yourself.
I will check it that can work with my wife's Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Thanks !!
thank u so much for ur answers eejimen and wolfindersteppe...
ll check in my office n decide whats best for me...

Portkey, I went home and successfully tested the solution to my television. I connected the HDMI adapter and downloaded the following Gettysburg PPT from the interwebs.
The power point presentation displayed on the TV using Quick Office HD and looked great.

Pls help new N7 owner to get correct items to play games on N7 w/ controller to tv

Hello to the Community. I first want to say thank to all you great people. This is the BEST forum going and you've been a huge help to many times.
OK so I'm a new owner of a 16g Nexus 7.
The main goal of this thread is I'm trying to find a gaming controller, the cable to allow the controller to function, and then a cable that will allow me to play games or watch movies on my big screen. I have some knowledge of what I'm looking for but not enough. I didn't want to make the mistake of buying the wrong thing, especially on line.
The other day I go and buy a micro HDmi to HDMI and realized after that is no go on either the N7 or gnex. So I'm here: I'm confident I can get good Info on all three of these items that work well and for cheap.
I have searched around here, other forums and on line but I haven't find anything definitive enough on what I would all need and works most current.
Need to buy on line asap:
The gaming controller: I don't care if its wired or wireless. Whatever you experts recommend is fine with me.
HDMI capable cable to TV.
If I have made any mistakes in posting or didn't include enough info please let me know.
Thank you all ahead of time for taking the time.

I am no expert either....just picked up my N7 today as well.
but i am pretty sure you need an MHL adapter...which is micro SD to Full HDMI female plug. then an HDMI cable from MHL to the TV.
as for the controller, i would probably stick with Bluetooth. you can use a PS3 BT controller (make sure it is official sony sixaxxis as some nockoffs use a wireless transmitter which isn't as easy and may not even work on the N&)
the PS3 controller i believe requires Root and an app which costs Money.
or there are other ones that gamestop sells called the Nyco playpad or something like that designed specifically for android gaming.
the Nyco requires a free app in the play store.
hook everything up, and you should be gaming in no time.
i personally can't wait to play some Old school NES games on my bigscreen.
There"s no mhl on the nexus 7.

Hey there and welcome,
I have done a couple of the things you're aiming to achieve.
For the controller, I have purchased a cheap micro USB OTG host (Right angled) from eBay for about £1.
This enabled me to use wired controllers, mount USB sticks for films etc.
I purchased an unofficial Xbox controller from Argos for around £17, it didn't work 100% from plug in, I had to modify the key layout file which took 2 mins, now it's perfect.
With regards to the HDMI, I don't think the N7 supports MHL, android 4.2 however will support wireless screen sharing via a dongle you plug into the TV. I forgot what its called.
Anyway, hope that helps, enjoy the nexus 7!
Edit: software is called miracast, looks promising. And if this method is preferred I guess a wireless controller is preferred too!

Yo thank you for the reply buddy
Sucks no Hdmi but o well gaming with a controller(wired or not) will work for now. What i wanted was to specifically find some ppl who had experience with a setup that confirmed working as recent as poss.
Price wise 1 for the cable and 17 for the controller works for me.
Do you mind linking me to the 2 products?
I wanna order something on line like now. Lol

Hey dude thanks for the reply
OK so see this is why i can get confused. The one reply below yours says n7 has no mhl support which I did hear multiple times other places online. But your saying it IS POSSIBLE with the MHL adapter( and I've seen it done on YouTube somehow). If it is me.that is misunderstanding what is being said, please 4give me,
--all I want is to game with a controller on my N7, if its possible to do it on a big screen...GREAT, if not no biggie at all. I just want to understand it however it is.
Make the purchases asap so they can get here asap. Lol
This can be really frustrating lol

Like i said, i am new to this device as well. i though for sure i saw that MHL worked and since it works with the Gnex, i figured it was OK to put that in my post.....I was wrong. looks like it doesn't work will have to wait for miracast and 4.2 for the bigscreen

I basically just ordered a cheap, non-branded game controller (about $5), got a USB OTG cable with the same specifics (cheap, non-branded), and found a custom keylayout that works for cheap, non-branded controllers. Combined all those together, and I now have a nice controller that can play games like DEAD TRIGGER

Yeah no problem, as long as the gameplay has the same layout as an Xbox controller, I know how to make it work. Other types will be a bit different buy I'm sure other people have got them working by editting the keylayout file, just send me a pm and I'll help with what I can.
With regards to the Argos site, you may want to find it locally for cheaper.

Hey guys.
OK I got this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=280894965492 for $7
I haven't had much time but with the testing I've done with the time I did have here is what I know:
dead trigger- I see that this game has a built in option to use a game pad and map the buttons. It seemed pretty simple to do. The one small issue I couldn't figure out was how to map the control to lower w/e weapon I'm using. With the normal touchscreen your able to move that up/down. With the controller it stays about right at a level where w/e weapon I'm using shoots the zombies at head level( which is great when shooting) but sometimes its nice to be able to move that, especially when you are moving. If anyone knows how to do this or anything else Im missing i would appreciate the help very much.
NFS Most Wanted- could not figure out how to get the controller to work. Any info would be great.
Asphalt Heat-I haven't tried yet but I'm pretty sure there is a built in option to use a gamepad as well. Correct?
MC3-Iv seen and heard this game is capable of using USB controller but I don't know how to get it work. Any info on this?
NBA Jam-tried straight plug and play with this game and had no success?
Beach Buggy Blitz- built in option for gamepads worked. Pretty simple.
Any other games that anyone has experience with plug and play or simple modifications would be a great help to me.
Thank you.

Can someone please please help me. I got a USB controller that works. The game in question is modern Combat 3 on the nexus 7. This is driving me fricken crazy. I been at this for hours and I'm about ready to go nuts. I'm at the point where I'm trying to map the buttons on the touch screen. I figured out how to maps most of the buttons EXCEPT FOR HOW TO MOVE/RUN AND AND AIM. I'm trying to map the left analog stick to move/run and the right analog stick to aim/movie the gun around. I'm kind of able to but the direction I'm moving are all fed up and I can't get it right.
I'll be able map the right analog stick to move the gun around but up moves left down moves right left moves up and right moves down. You understand what I mean? It WILL NOT let me to get right how its suppose to be.
If someone can somehow someway help it would be a huge help. I've literally been at it for 2 day on and off and I can't figure it out. Its so darn frustrating.

[Q] TV Remote App, learning IR code?

I've managed to get the TV remote app to work on proper brand name TVs in my house (Samsung, Panasonic), but the TV in my room is a Sanyo. The app lists Sanyo as compatible, but none of the IR codes work on it
I was wondering if anyone knew of a different brand option that might work with the Sanyo TV. The HTC One TV remote has an IR learning option, where if you can't find your TV brand, you simply point the TV remote at the phone's IR sensor, long press the power button, and the app will learn the IR code. The GS4 app doesn't seem to have this option, and I can't find a way to get the remote app to work with my TV.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

It's called WatchON. Apparently the same company (Peel Technologies or something) makes both the GS4 and HTC1 IR remote apps, but the GS4 version is missing some features.

Have you updated the app? It contained some additional IR codes.
AFAIK, there should be an option to email the company, if you can describe it with the model number, etc, I'm sure they'll be able to update the app with some more IR codes.

I've done that (xtrend et6000 in my case). But I got no feedback.

the WatchOn app is a horrible bit of code.
In order to remove an accidentally added remote you have to clear all data in the program and start again.
On top of that they have only 1 or 2 codes for each TV brand, it is really sad how little work went into the program.
Also the GS4 has a IR transmitter, but not a receiver so we could not do a learning setup if we wanted to.
I am looking for a new program which can take advantage of the IR LED but so far have not come up with anything.
There is touchsquid which is not cheap but appears to be probably the most fully featured such program available. Or at least that I can find lol There is also this one which I just ran into yesterday buy haven't had time to peruse yet. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5yZW1vdGVmYWlyeSJd The main problem I have with the latter is that I couldn't find any information on whether they will let you run it for a bit to see how it works. As those who have tried to set up more complex systems with good automation know it can take a while to find the flaws and just to flat get everything working. I would want at least a 10 day trial to make a decision.
I mean is it so hard to implement learning function so that you can take any ir remote and copy its codes to phone!? I've had my Casio wrist watch for more than 14 years now and it has ir functionality and, more importantly, learning function so I can literary control anything that has an ir remote.
Try this free app . It's good
bbs.tiqiaa.com/icontrol/app/icontrol.apk
And you can diy the remote control with an additional hardware from the official website.(not free)

why? galaxy S4 has its own IR.
The watchON app should just have an option to add codes, it would be a great app if it had that.

Care to explain then how to remove a single device, as I walked through every single menu and there is no way of doing it from within the Samsung supplied app that I could see.
And having been a user of android devices since inception I would state that even if it is possible it is far from intuitive.

Help, can it be done? AllShare Cast nexus 10 to Samsung tv

Hi I recently got the 2013 Samsung 8 series TV and was wondering if there is a way to enable all share cast on the nexus 10 for screen mirroring? I have this feature on my siii given its also a Samsung device
Looking around the inter web information is a little vague and conflicting!
Thanks
Dan

For screen mirroring you will need a miracast capable device. Initially the Nexus 10 was supposed to have miracast, but I doesn't (to my knowledge).
You can stream videos and pictures to your tv over WiFi using apps like imedia or bubbleUPnP. (or any dlna player)

I believe it has the capability of doing so hardware-wise, but the settings for it aren't enabled or visible. I think the memory bus or something would be a limitation due to having to push 2560x1600, but perhaps we can just change the resolution (there's some HDMI command thing found recently that does this) and use that?
Yea, wished we could enable it.
I have a netgear ptv3000 receiver. Works well with my dad's Note II.

thanks for the replies.
To give some more background, until very recently i was running XBMC on a win8 front room PC and Yatse on the nexus 10.
the joy was that if i was watching videos on the nexus i could hit Share/Send to Yatse and the XBMC would automatically start playing the stream for me on the TV.
thats the functionality i am looking for.
A lot that I have seen on the play store are simply players in their own right which if i look at my usage is not what i want.
ideally the right app would sit in the background as a service and catch any source (you tube, pictures, music, mxplayer or any where else I can press share/send to)
has anyone seen anything like this ?
at this point i am less interested in screen mirroring as such (until i want to play need for speed on the big tv!!)...
thanks

Check out bubbleupnp on the play store. I think this is what you are looking for.

ok, thanks, i will give it a go tonight and let you know how i get on ....
ideally we would want the new Samsung Link to work on Nexus 10 devices but apparently this is not happening right now!

Don't forget, this will allow either the nexus 10, your pc, or a home server to stream media to your tv through WiFi . You just have to make sure the settings in your tv are on for dlna and that your tv is connected to your network.

Yes It Can!?
Initially it was said that N10 would support Miracast
Then we were told neither N7 or N10 would support it.
Now Miracast has been enabled and working for N7, see
ht tp s://github .com/kensuke/ How-to-Miracast-on-AOSP/wiki and ht tp://w ww. you tube.com/watch?v=KNEmaIr3FEg
Even though Kensuke warned about trying it I went ahead and installed the non-tested OTA package for N10
I did not experience any loops as he was afraid of, no errors at all and it seems stable.
The OTA package seems stable but Miracast may or may not work.
I do have "Wireless display" in the menu now. I also believe searching for miracast receiver was working the first time I booted the tablet. Unfortunately I didnt have a miracast receiver nearby then and when I got home it seemed like I had lost the possibility to search for receivers.
I still have "Wireless Display" in the menu though.
Just spreading the word. Maybe and hopefully someone smarter then me would be able to make use of the patch :fingers-crossed:

This would be great to see in one of these rom builds

Agreed! I am testing and reporting to the author of the patch, Kensuke, at this thread:

Lets hope he and the community will resolve this

the phone can't cast to Samsung Smart TV as screen mirroring

hi dudes,
previously, i had nexus 5 and i was able to cast to my samsung smart tv, but after i've bought "nexus 6p" i surprised that i can not cast to my tv!
please help to get it back if it possible
Yea I noticed this as well even on custom rom. I just don't think it's supported
Same here I used to be able to before 7.x.x update but not anymore seems like they removed it

Yeah, i do some searches on google i found that there's two solutions, first is rooting the phone and second use chromecast even though you have a smart tv

now i made sure by myself, i've rooted the phone, and then add this line persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 in the build.prop and the TV actually appeared as if the phone wants to connect to TV, but do not complete this connection, so this solution isn't useful
