Hy guys!
I just found a jack to compozit cable in my cabinet. It has a Jack father and an RCA (red-white-yellow) father. I have got a pic, but Im new in here, so I cant link...
So, I just wondering, can we use this cable to connect the N7 to a TV?
I know, at the moment we can't, but why? Because the hardware limitation, or the android doesn't support this feature?

As far as I know, you'd just be transporting the audio if you were to plug it into any device. You'd have to have an extra adapter to port the video through the yellow composite video cable.
Though people have been known to make some wicked little mods, so you never know these days.
Nexus 7 does not have the hardware capability.

You could always use an MHL adapter to output to a TV, that is if the Nexus 7 supports that method. I've never tried it.

Ah, well that's disappointing. I never looked into it before, but now I know. =P
Thats awkward. So If we want to connent the tablet to a television, we must use some wifi app, and the TV must be a smart one...
Or can We take advantage of pogo-jack? I never seen before this kind of plug, so I dont know, what it can do.

Micro-USB and HDMI are two different standards that don't mix. Would not work.
Can you Bluetooth to your car? That's how I do it and it works great!
After researching, it appears that there may be a cable made by Samsung that converts Micro-USB to HDMI, but whether or not it works on our phones, or at all for that matter, is not confirmed.
seen a picture of a cable for the hdmi and was told by sprint rep there will be one but have not found one yet, or maybe samsung snowjobed me. the 1/8" cable i am looking for converts the 4 segment plug to a 3 segment plug and i dont need any other extra microphone or volume control that probably wont work anyway

so that is it than .I was tricked into buying it over the evo. now the only thing it has going for it is the hardware keyboard . And I also expect it will never see froyo either .and no rooting either like the evo . samsung the liars!! knew I should have got the evo, and my couz will never stop giving me crap about it now.
Get a dlna dvd player as a dedicated media player and use the allshare from your epic to the player..went to best buy they have an lg blu ray dlna player for around 189. I can already stream from my windows 7 laptop to the epic with a small amount of buffering. Better yet get a ps3 and use that hdmi out and a dlna player AIO.

It will 100% see Froyo as we have Froyo leaks on the other phones. We already have root...and as for the HDMI <-> microsub...if Samsung does not make it work I'm pretty sure the community will..

Was just at BestBuy, they have in a Micro USB to HDMI cable for 29.99, made by Dynex.
Ofcourse this will only work on the Evo, as the Epic wouldn't send any video out that port i think.

Two different cables. The Evo uses "micro-HDMI" to HDMI and Samsung phones use "micro-USB" to HDMI. The Epic does NOT (presently) have a video out option, so neither will work. Save your $.

Oh yeah, my bad. Thanks.
You can easily get video out on the Epic, use a 3.5mm to RCA cable.

Unless something has been updated the option to turn on TV is not available for the Epic 4g.

Yeah...that's for the vibrant. Our phones were neutered.
Yes, I tried it with two 3.5mm to RCA cables I have. None work. No software options to turn on, either.
As some of you may well know.. The Iphone 4 very well adapts to connecting to a TV set using its 30-pin connector one side and AV plugs at the other cable. I was just thinking....
If HDMI is not supported... Would we have an easier way into actually importing some kind of software or some mod into the kernal itself?
Do we even have AV- Mini-USB cable available to our disposal?

Before anything like that could be used, You would need to get the play into USB host mode
Is that something that I.C.S could present us?

No, you'll need SE to include it in their kernel/kernel source for our play or you'll need some devoted devs to port it from the Arc.

im going to buy that phone but do it supposrt that? i already got hdmi and usb one from my N7000 note

Yes it does have OTG but you need an external power.

thanks but i dont think i can find this in iran and i already got a cable for my note
anyway i dont really care about this
woops sorry! i tought its a cable is it safe:?
For HDMI out I don't think your cable will work. Majority of older phones use mhl for HDMI out but the n4 uses slimport and mhl cables will not work
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
1. Nexus 4 uses Slimport, not MHL. You'd need to buy a new cable anyway.
2. OTG only works with external power, and cannot work simultaneously with Slimport (No HDMI+OTG).
3. There is Miracast, but it sucks.
damn i bough cable wanted to experience playing games on hd tv but my phone bricked after that no chance let me see if that works whit htc one s (of my father)
anyway mine got a hdmi input and a power input and a micro-usb output
and slim port is it better? never heard about it

thanks a lot anyway this is just a single drop nexus 4 is really amazing i would buy a slimport maybe i found oh ok i will play games in its 4.7 inch display
and i will do something for storage maybe use LAN in es explorer whit my PC is there anyway suck at this to acsses or files or something using network(i mean home network)
So I'm wanting to play my Google movies on my flat screen and am thinking about trying a mhl adapter but didn't know if it works since our USB setup is different being a 3.0. Will I be okay just using the 2.0 USB for the adapter? Thanks everyone. It's either this or Chromecast.
Yeah it does work. The only thing is it used to play the movie on the phone to, but now it just says connected to hdmi. I used the 2.0 and it worked perfect. Crystal clear screen.

Thanks for that feedback. Would you mind sharing what brand adapter you used?
I wonder if there is an optimized mhl cord to take advantage of our dual slot 3.0 adapter for faster streaming.
By the way. When I was swyping the word "faster" it kept on outputting "gayer" lol 4 times. I think my phone is trying to tell me something haha.

This don't pertain to the mhl adapter but I ended up getting Chromecast. And just recently Koush the CWM dev made an app Allcast that let's you use Chromecast to mirror your device no cords.

I bought this one. I liked it b/c it had support for old MHL and my Note 3. I can use it on any of my phones or tablets.
Hi guys!
I know that USB type C can map to several devices (even VGA/HDMI).
How do we know which ones are supported?
I'd fancy buying a USB<->HDMI Adapter (smilar to the Slimport<>HDMI I have for my Nexus5).
Will it be supported?
It's not USB 3.1 so I don't know if all of those would still be supported.
In the reddit AMA the developers confirmed it would not have HDMI out. You could always mirror it with a chromecast though.
Then why USB Type-C if none of the goodies? Just for fast-charging and reversability?
Casting takes a lot of power and heat.
(Isn't losing video-out another downgrade?)

Well, quoting myself... Actually would the rendering at the device with dedicated hardware give up more heat than broadcasting via WiFi?
Which would take more power?
Allways believe that any kind of "air transmission" is quite power-consuming.

Yeah it is a downgrade. I never cared if a phone could stream HDMI before, but now that I'm seeing a 6P as way to carry a single device (no more tablet with HDMI + phone), it is disappointing. Plus, when I read about USB-C having so many capabilities, I was hoping the phone would include some of them instead of it just being a connector choice.
Strange choice leaving out the HDMI stuff etc. Don't understand it. I wonder if the 810 gets too hot outputting to HDMI.
I don't know if people would use stuff other than OTG or video-out. But it'd definitely be nice for some guys for other devices (even though most can be connected to OTG).
Ok... really just video-out
Casting generating less heat than rendering video... hmm..... no idea...

If you have ever done presentations using a micro-usb to HDMI cable, you know that this puts a lot of stress on the connector. And having to drag a cable all over the place is an inconvenience. This is with a Nexus 7 (2013). For me, the presence of WiFi Direct and hence Miracast is far more important. I find that with the Nexus 7 at least, Miracast works perfectly. I use an Actiontec Screenbeam Mini2 as a dongle. I am anticipatinf that the Nexus 6p will work as well, but we will see.
why do you want a big cable connect to your tv/monitor?
I imagine Google want you to use their Chromecast ?

I don't think anyone wants the cable, per se. It is plug-n-play that we want. How do you go to a friend's house, hotel, couch-surfing, etc., and watch a movie that is on your Nexus 6P (on whatever televion is available).
