Screen output via audio/video cables? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if its possible to get the screen to mirror using audio/video cables (the red, yellow, and white cables)?
My cars head unit has these cables in the back. I'd imagine I'd need the USB/HDMI adaptor, but is there a way to convert HDMI to audio/video?

Pretty sure that will not work as I believe Samsung uses MHL. You would likely need the SlimPort adapter and something like one of these.

Hey thanks. That adaptor you sent, you think I'd be able to power it via a car charger?

Stickmount

I don't known if what I am trying to do is either not right or I don't know how to do it, I could not find a micro USB otg, so instead I bought a flash drive and a double female ended USB adapter and have my n7 cable on the other end to the tablet. Can this work or does it only work with a micro USB both adapter?

Usb otg, cables are easy to find.... Your solution won't work because there's nothing to trigger host mode

Or run it through a receiver with your HDMI cable...running perfectly through my Pioneer Elite SC-05!
I am using an optical line on mine and it's working great. The one in my office is using banana plugs.

Is there a way to convert the optical line to an aux cable?

Slimport and connectivity.

Hey guys, I do not own a Nexus 4 (yet), but before I buy I would like to throw out a scenario and see how realistic it is. I have researched the Slimport adapter and was wondering, could I connect a Nexus 4 to an HD TV (via Slimport adapter), connect a USB hub to the microUSB port on the adapter (via OTG cable), and connect USB sticks or controllers for games from the USB hub, and charge the phone wirelessly from the charging hub? Thanks in advance for everyone's insight.

I'm sorry guys, I know I ask much of your knowledge.

Well, did more research, looks like Nexus 4 doesn't have the 5v out that would be required to support USB.host its a hardware issue.

Mhl cable.

Hi, since my tv is stupid (it's not one of those smart ones with wi fi) I was looking for another way of displaying the n4 screen on my tv. I was wondering if a simple mhl cable would do the trick? Or do I really need a special slim port adapter?
I found this one in my nearest store, but I am not sure if it will work.---> Unitek MHL Y-2702 microUSB / HDMI

Well, the search option in the mobile app sucks, thanks anyway.

[Q] Phone won't charge

I found a great deal on a Nexus 4 on Craigslist. The seller says the phone does not charge at all but turns on when its plugged in. I would like to get a second N4 for the wife, especially for this nice of a deal and if it would be an easy fix. Just looking on some feedback as to what everyone thinks the problem could be and what else I could ask the seller before I make any kind of deal.

If I were you I would stay away from it. I would definitely get a new one from the Play Store.
Ask him how did happen? Was the phone's components exposed to water? :beer:

He says he thinks it could be the USB port, but I dunno. He says he can transfer files back and fourth using it on the computer, and screen comes on when plugged in, it just won't charge up.

I had similar issue. Phone discover the USB but fail with charge. I tried other USB cable (Nokia one) and it works perfect.

so the USB port works when he wants to connect it to the computer, but it won't work when he plugs it into the wall and tries to charge it?

Correct. USB works for file transfer only. It will not charge using wall charger or computer.
