Nexus Player arrives next week, I'm hoping someone can tell me if FoxSoccer2go and Amazon App work? And if so how do you load them onto the Nexus Player.
Thanks
Amazon works but you will need an otg cable and some kind of mouse for it as it is made for touch devices. The other I do not know on.

Hello I'm new to the world of android but I was left to believe that all android devices had the ability to use WiFi direct but after getting the nexus 7 in the post yesterday I spent much of the night trying to get the nexus to send video to my TV and files to my Samsung galaxy s3 but all with no luck. they connected together but they just won't send files or video plus the WiFi direct icon in the drop down options is no longer there. Do I have a faulty nexus 7 or dose the nexus not have the** ability to use WiFi direct and if so will there be a fix for this problem? I no its a lot of questions but I'm stuck and I use WiFi direct a lot and I need this to work on my nexus 7 . so if anyone can help me I would be extremely grateful for your help. Thank you
AFAIK, the Nexus 7 doesn't support adhoc wifi, something to do with wpa_supplicant.
Nexus 7 needs software to support the this. Samsung wrote their own for S beam. Don't know of any third party apps that are compatible with s beam.
Check out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.wifidirect for one that should work.
Thanks for your help people but I have fund a fix for my problem of sending video to my TV from my nexus 7 . I remembered I payed for a app from Google play about a year ago called imediashare I had forgot I had it I did not even install it on my new phone. But last night I installed it on my nexus 7 and to my joy it worked I can now stream mp4 and avi video to my TV. I'm still looking for a way to send and receive files using WiFi direct on the nexus 7 but it I find one I'll post it here. If someone else finds a way to do it please let me know here thanks
HI guys,
I just wanna know, how can i connect my device to tv?
Is there wired connection? what about wireless connection?
What are the things i need?
For example, my tv is Samsung LED Series 5?
What are the things i can do after connecting:
- can i access my device as a storage device?
- can i play a movie to my device and have it displayed in my tv?
Thanks in advance
With the app Mediahouse (pro) you can stream movies from your tablet to you tv (netwerk).
you can choose to stream content to your tablet of from your tablet to your tv (if i'm correct)
New or old n7? This is easily found anywhere online. Old n7 can't mirror it's screen to the TV except with a mod for miracast (this mod is new). This mod doesn't work on 4.3 yet and requires supported hardware on the TV too.
What does work is dnla or upnp, which sends local media to the TV - movies, music, photos that are stored locally not streamed. Many apps support this and lots of hardware does too.
New n7, you can use slim port cable to mirror the screen
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
I have the old one, there is no something like adapter, converter, cable that can connect the device to the tv? i cant seem to find any on mr. google, and yeah i saw that the new nexus 7 is capable of that, thanks
Chromecast may solve your problem if you can get your hands on one.
PA 3.94 Nexus 7
Ok need a little help with a nexus 4 with a broken digitizer.
Everything looks like it works but no touch.
Cost 150+ euro to fix, not going to happen buying a nexus 5.
But would love to use the nexus 4 as a media player with xbmc.
I just need to get a mouse working and then I am good.
BUT HOW?
how do I get a mouse running on this thing I have a OTG cable, I have plugged in a power usb hub.
But I get nothing.
Any help please
King Regards,
JP
There's no way to set it up without a working touchscreen. Your best bet is getting a friend with a Nexus 4 to let you borrow their N4. You replace the board and setup everything using the touchscreen to automatically connect to a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and then put the mobo back in the bad nexus 4 and there you go.
Or you interested in selling it?
Also, for OTG you need to flash Franco Kernel and use it's companion app (nonfree) to enable it. Not sure of any other way to do it. That also requires a touchscreen.
I think maybe your best bet is somehow installing a VNC server for android. Maybe via ADB install? *shrug* You can flash recovery and that will remain fully usable without touch.
that kinda sucks.
what you offering for my nexus?

If you still have a problem/your nexus 4:
if you aren't rooted, find out how to root [nexus root toolkit], if you have fastboot already it should be a breeze
You need a usb-otg Y cable so that power goes to the phone
install franco kernel and ziddey mod (search forums should come up quick cuz they are awesome)
then should work like a charm (plug and play)
My nexus 4 runs a mouse and 1tb hdd off an externally powered hub, but I could never get it to run with my normal otg cable only the Y cable... I think it's because nexus needs the power surge to know it is connected or something (more complicated that I don't understand).
Hello,
unfortunately I can't post direct to the thread of the Full Android 5.1 rom for the nvidia shield TV.
With this rom wifi for the original remote is disabled.
Therefore I'm looking for a replacement which should be quite small like the original one.
Could someone suggest one which I can use together with Plex. I know I can use DroidMote but I don't have an Android mobile phone (I'm using iPhone 5s).
An IR-keyboard is working but it's to big which I have.
So I someone can suggest one it would be grateful. Or does anybody know how I can get an Apple remote working with Android 5.1?
Thanks in advance

After some searching I found a suggestion about using an Amazon Fire TV Stick remote. There's also a youtube video which shows how to set up. Now I made my decision and bought this remote.
Just for info.
If someone is interested. Here is the youtube-video which I mentioned before.
Thanks for the video link mate.
You're welcome. Got my remote yesterday and installed it within seconds. Works perfect.
Hi All,
I've tried looking for a solution and a similar thread but maybe I missed it. I'm trying to mirror my phone's image to my TV anyway possible so when my parents(or whomever) wants to video chat with my 15 monthold daughter, we can have a bigger screen instead of my phone (which she trys to grab and press buttons). I use WeChat and FB messenger for video chats .
- I've thought about buying the chromecast device but not sure if that will mirror the phone screen.
- I've thought about buying a HDMI cable that has a USB-C to plug into the phone but also not sure if that'll work bc someone said its not MHL compatible (not sure what that means).
- Also looked into screen mirroring apps but it can't find my smart TV (westinghouse) even though its on the same network. I think its the TV but I could be wrong.
Any solution is appreciated. I just want it to work.
Thanks

Chromecast will mirror the display...
Other sticks like fire TV stick also...
HDMI output isn't realized for axon 7 I think, searched Google for it long time and didn't find a working guide...

Also try built in function. When you have smart TV connected to the same Wi-Fi look in display settings.
I can confirm that my axon 7 mirrors to my roku 3 and my firestick
@scratchstick,, A2017G has no this function yet, so you may try Chromecast or fire TV stick.
I can use Miracast to Fire TV and the Microsoft Miracast stick via MrMD69 screenshot. Just wish they have a cast button on the slide down. Also, I noticed that casting on the Axon 7 is quite poor compared to my other phones (Zenfone 3 and CM1), often with blocks and freezing video.
