Hey everyone!
My Nexus 7 will be here Wednesday (YAY!)
And I just read that the USB port isn't MHL
Without buying the Nexus Q (All I have in the country is my 4g tether) how can I use an external monitor on my new tablet?
I noticed that there are 4 pogo pins on the nexus 7 vs the 3 on the galaxy nexus. Is there video out on these? Also my M18x has something called WI-HD that allows me to wirelessly transmit my monitor signal to a reciever connected to my tv. Is there any way my new tab can do something similar? I suppose I can just use my galaxy nexus for my Play TV shows but I was kind of looking forward to playing games on the big screen.
Thanks!
Bump. any suggestions guys?
There is no cable solution... chances are there will be a software WiFi Direct solution, but not yet.
Thanks for the info.

I tried using the Samsung mhl cable that I used worth my gnexus but it would not work. When I plugged in the gnex it worked, but not nexus 4. I then tried my wife's nexus 4 and same thing. Do you think I need a diffident cable. Can anyone confirm if they got it to work
Thread moved to Q&A
Please post in the appropriate section next time

It uses a new standard called slim port. Its like having a display port. There is only one cable out that I have found on amazon but its $30. Sucks they changed that standard but it is what lg is doing. Do seem to have a few advantages over mhl.

Eww, I was hoping it is backward compatible with MHL
Now connection to my Pioneer AppRadio will have to be reworked.
Not really much of an availability of these slim port HDMI adapters either... that one from Amazon doesn't seem to ship outside US :banghead:

Can any of the lucky ones who received their nexus try using an otg cable ? Does the phone sense the pendrive or it needs the help of some secondary app such as stickmount, nexus media importer ...
Edit 1: It's not working! External power required though.
Haven't received the nex yet lol
It's not working for anyone at the moment I believe, 4.2 is broken the compability, Chainfire says there's hacks around it but not for a week or two.
Oh ok!

Lots of people have tried; no one has reported success. Take the comment about "hacks around it" with a large grain of salt; there are pretty strong indications, although not quite conclusive yet, I don't think, that the hardware just doesn't support USB host mode (the connector doesn't appear to supply the voltage needed to run a peripheral device).
Maybe if people star it, it'll show Google that people expected/wanted it, and hopefully if it's a software issue, then it'll get fixed faster.

I dont think its a hardware issue. The HTC One X with Sense 4.1 and ICS did not support the OTG cable. After the update to Sense 4+ and JB, One X has started supporting the OTG cable, pendrives upto 32 GB work like a charm. Its most probably a software issue
on the other hand, LG smartphones has never supported usb otg...
at least, none of their optimus line up hasn't yet
the problem may be on LG's fault
anyway, there is already a huge thread about this issue on this forum

Finally! The usb OTG started working thanks to Ziddey and his kernel!

Sucks it needs to be externally powered though.

Oh common. Something better than nothing. And for portability I use a battery pack!

I have a rocket fish micro USB to hdmi cable. But it doesn't work.
Just wanted to know if there are only certain cables that work, is it a rom issue or what?
Thanks in advance.

Nexus 4 doesn't use normal mhl cables, only slimport

I'm assuming this a hardware issue then. No way to use what I already own

Two different technologies. You have to buy a slimport adapter.
Can I just buy a normal micro USB on one end and a HDMI on the other or is the slip port a requirement on the nexus 4 for video out? I can't seem to find anything about it. Thanks
