Ya, I wish my Nexus One can do that too, considering how my Nokia N85 has video out via 3.5mm. I can make use of the same cable that came with my Nokia

Why would you want this? You'd still be stick with crappy composite video out, and either lose ability for headset controls or have some complicated switch/check mechanism to handle in/out. Just my 2 cents...

I would LOVE this feature on my N1: get the wiimote/classic wii controler out and the emulators, and there you have an awesome, take everywhere, games console!!

I want this so I can watch google nav on my 7-inch car stereo screen.

This is one of those things that has to be hardware on the pcm.
This won't happen on the nexus.

Ya boohoo... this is my only hangup on nexus atm. I really want video out! I wonder if it's possible someone could make some sort of USB adapter to provide video output.
I'm so sad there will be no nexus 2 either gonna be stuck with a carrier-gimped phone at some point if I want this.

"cyanogen: The Bluetooth HID support in CM6 by @0xdroid is pretty slick. With HDMI out, we'll be using our phones as media centers."
Dreams do come true

Wonder how things will change with CAT6 set to take over for HDMI. Will there be a mini-RJ45 connector that phones can use for video and data? That'd be neat-o bandito.

dont know about the rest but #2, of course it can, its a tablet.

I can answer #6. sadly the N7 will not have HDMI output. no micro-hdmi and no mhl.

Somewhere I heard that battery is not replaceable and no primary camera, only a 2.1 front facing camera, so nexus 7 is not a good option if u are a tablet enthusiast..

Oh, my bad

HDMI and lack of sd card is a BIG miss !!!

HDMI is not so much a big problem with me, neither is memory as i use my xperia play for big games like fifa as i hate on-screen controls.
This will be for angry birds and those types of games, mainly.
Now i just wish someone would make an app allowing me to map X-Play controls to the tablets screen for games.
Anybody know one?
Of course, i would like the option for a larger memory so am hoping otg works somehow

USB OTG doesn't work on stock Jelly Bean but I think Asus has suggested that the hardware is capable so once devs have had a play it will be possible.

Why would you buy any sort of tablet with the intention of taking photos? A phone would be better, but if you want to take good photos just buy a real camera.

Exactly. I can understand wanting an all in one device, but a tablet should never be considered something to be taking high-quality photos on the move. A cell phone or mirrorless DSLR is a much better option, in my opinion.

I want to know abt these points about GOOGLE NEXUS 7 from the owners:
1. Any WiFi issue when screen locked. Shouldn't be, my GNexus has none.
2. Does home screen can be used in Landscape mode. Maybe on stock launcher. If not, install Apex or Nova, they look almost identical to stock but have cutomizing features.
3. Any Flickering screen issue. I expect no. Just because it seems like a poor way to launch a product.
4. Apps getting disappered. Again, unlikely. JB is rock solid from my experience.
5. Actual storage available in 16gb version. My 16GB GNex has 13.33GB available in stock JB, probably about that much.
6. HDMI Support? Likely through micro USB w/ an adapter. May be a mini HDMI slot though.
7.MHL Adapter? I don't know what that is.
8. Can be used to make phone calls (as Samsung Tablet 7)? With skype or some other app, but otherwise I expect no as it's a wifi and not cell network device.

Answers above in bold.
And concerning no rear camera, you'll look like an idiot taking pictures with that thing. Like a laptop, all you need on a tab camera wise is a FFC, they're too big and unwieldy to use as a camera.

Questions go in the Q&A section

Please say it's so!! Has this been confirmed by users who have tried it? Can't ask anymore of a $200 device, and I've been smitten with it since day one, but USB storage recognition would be the cherry on top of this Nexus Sundae ;-) If not I guess I could always try streaming from my phone or my home network via es file explorer if all else fails.

[Question] Just bought a Nexus 7, does it support HDMI out?

I have a micro usb to HDMI adapter, I think its a MHL plug. However it doesn't fit.

The Nexus 7 does not support HDMI, MHL, or any type of direct connect video out, period. The microUSB port can be used for USB OTG duties: keyboards, mice, USB Flash memory devices, even USB hard drives if necessary, but not any form of video output.
NEXT!!!

No offense, but did you blindly buy this product or blindly buy this product?

The PCI express lane is located near the sata 3gbs port, unfortunately Google didn't give us any 6gbs ports, really sucks because I wanted to use an SSD.

Actually I did, I've been eyeing the Nexus 7 for a couple of months, reading up on it and looking at reviews. However I never read about HDMI out on it until it occurred to me today.

A reasonable question posted on XDA sometimes receives snarky responses. Not all of them are with ill intent, but this (XDA forums) isn't the most friendly environment. That little ribbing was quite nice though

Just get a MK802 and flash CyanogenMod on it.

You could use a custom rom like the Android transporter to mirror ur nexus 7 to a screen.

Well that's quite interesting and I'll be the first to admit when I'm apparently wrong - I'd never seen that video before but it is quite obvious there's some video out going on, and even if it's just mirroring it would still be better than the "nothing" we currently have with the N7. Hell, my laptop has a 1280x800 screen in it so it's a perfect match when I remote in with the N7 anyway... would be nice to do things the other way around.

After watching that full intro video I'm suspecting what they had there was a modified Nexus 7 just for that capability, aka a demo testing unit, but who knows what's possible at this point.
I'd suspect if Google has intentions of a new Nexus 7 "upgraded version" sometime this year - that's the big hope, of course - that perhaps we'll see some extra goodies thrown in for good measure.
But when you really take the big view of things I don't think we'll see a Nexus 7 updated with a) any form of expandable storage (sadly), b) a back camera, c) a video/MHL/HDMI capable output, and d) a change in screen resolution.
If you watch that intro video they are very specific and precise in stating they wanted to make a "perfect content consumption device" and if all you do with the Nexus 7 is "consume content" that means it's going to remain basically as it is right now, perhaps with optional models for more storage (64GB will probably be the max), and they may even stick with Nvidia for a Tegra 4 version, I don't know but I can speculate pretty readily given what we do know from the current 1st gen Nexus 7 models and what Nvidia has announc--errr, leaked about the Tegra 4 so far.
Yes, I do love this tablet, but also yes I wish it did just a tiny bit more in some respects like the ones I pointed out above. I wish the dock pins supported actual data transfer instead of just being charge-and-audio-out capable, but that's just me I suppose.
Regardless, considering I paid $25 for this Nexus 7 of mine, believe me I'm one damned happy camper these days, especially with 4.2.2 now out and battery life even better on the stock kernel if I want it.

Allowing data over the pogo pins would lead to mass corruption. Some dope tries to pogo a rom, bumps their device, done.

They could mirror their nexus 7 display because it had hdmi out on their unit. They didn't add this feature on the nexus 7 because this would raise the price of the nexus 7.

MK808 is much faster. Highly recommended! Plays games like a boss.
However there is no video out capabilities on the N7 in a last ditch effort to shave off costs.
They are working on wifi streaming... but nothing yet.

HDMI issues real? (about to buy)

First of all, I've read the prior threads, but my question is contextual, so please bear with me.
I currently have an Acer 500 which I use for web, email, RSS on a daily basis. On trips the HDMI-out is a lifesaver in the evening at the hotel, as anyone with kids will attest to.
In the spirit of Father's Day the Boss has authorized an upgrade, handing the A500 down to my kids for homework use.
I understand there are 2 HDMI issues with the N10:
- Scaling
(fixed in Videos and MXPlayer, and possibly with newly discovered code/app)
- Compatibility
no sound via HDMI
no video with certain TVs
I don't care about scaling, and can live with letterboxed video.
Just how bad are the TV compatibility issues, really? I know HDCP can wreak havoc between devices, but both the Acer and SGIII have worked well with every TV I've tried them with; I have decent cables/adapters. Is the problem a connector issue, or is there an inherent issue with the N10 HDMI pathway hardware? If' it's just the plug, I can return it until I get one that works. If it's the intrinsic hardware, this would be a show stopper for me.
Again, I know the prior threads on this issue, but I'm trying to gauge if this is an unfixable issue for most people.
TIA.

From what I've heard and seen, compatibility with older Panasonic-based TV's (VIERA for example) might be somewhat bad. The VIERA TV I have has working video, but no audio. Some no-name HDMI TV my friend has (can't think of the actual name) works fine for both video and audio.
Not sure if there's any general rule or anything that determines compatibility though, or how other devices handle TV's...

HDMI with video and audio work perfectly fine to most things, the problem is not that HDMI simply doesnt work but rather that certain companies do not conform to all standards properly and this causes compatibility issues. As Espionage said, Panasonic's are the big one with no audio, and Sony Bravia's also tend to have issues. I use my Nexus 10 to go into my Onkyo receiver which then passes video on to my Panasonic plasma and audio goes to my speakers. It works perfect except for the obvious scaling issue because it is not trying to send a 1080p signal. That is easy enough to live with or you can do the workaround to make it perfect if you really care that much.
The thing that sucks though is just that hotels have all sorts of TV brands, so compatibility will just be hit and miss depending on which models of TV they choose to have.

Most of the time , hdmi doesnt have sound .
Many incompatibility tv s .
I personally have a pan 30gt ... No sound .

When you say that the video is fixed in MXPlayer, where did you see/read this? I would be interested to know because I heard it was coming but for me the scaling is not yet fixed.

and what is the price ? im looking for something in good price i found some from connection lab and try to find out if its really good

Guys, Can anyone confirm if Nexus 10 needs to charging for the HDMI out to work? My nexus 10 doesn't output via HDMI if its not connected to power.

I get no sound through my Viera too, it's pretty damn annoying actually. Regardless of their HDMI 'compatibility restrictions' or whatever, all other devices work correctly with it including my Galaxy S3 and a whole assortment of cameras, PC's and gaming consoles. Hoping for a fix in 4.3.

connectionlab is good!
So far so good. Couple of days ago I asked you about connectionlab brand, but since I have no responses I thought I'll give a chance and bought ConnectionLAB HDC-10 Premium 10m HDMI CABLE. Is beautiful!
I have to say that I'm really pleased with my new baby. Seriously, you get a good quality for a good price. My friend bought a cheap hdmi cable and sait it broke down into 2 after 15 minutes! But this one from connectionlab seems like a good choice

HDMI output adapter

What type of cable would I need to output to TV? Any recommendations?
I know the Slimport will work, but that's way too expensive.
Thanks.

The IC in the micro-usb port only supports SlimPort.

This one is 30 bucks:

Does anyone know if the Slimport output is rendered natively at 1920x1080 or is it a vertically compressed scale of the tablet's 1920x1200?
If only mirror mode is supported I gotta guess that it's a scale and not a native 1080p.
Or is there a "second display" option that allows the TV to display it's own independent Android workspace, sort of like "extended desktop" for Windows?

Hi
I have a new 2013 Nexus 7 tablet which I can connect to HDMI port on TV via a Slimport adaptor which the Nexus 7 supports. Display works fine when I connect to Samsung LCD 40eh5300 tv but not when I connect to my 55ST60. The display looks fine except that it blinks every 1o seconds or so -picture disappears then comes back on again. Appreciate if anybody has an idea why this may be happening and how I may fix it.
