Does anyone know if you can push the homescreen/email/web/etc to a tv or just videos. There is a video online of the Incredible doing the whole UI so I am hopeful that its the same with the EVO.
I think its just videos... I may be mistaken but if it is, I'm sure someone will put something together that allows the whole UI.

I'm pretty sure regardless of what it does out of the box, once we have root and start fiddling around that will be one thing that gets hacked pretty quickly.

Unfortunately, the TV doesn't mirror the phone's UI. Only videos and slideshows play on the TV - the rest of your content is stuck on your phone, including still images, games, and presentations.

I think it would be awesome to push the whole UI and then use an app such as Airmouse or TouchMouse (iPhone Apps) to lay in bed and control your device. So awesome to just view/play movies with the help of an iPod touch air mouse app.
BTW I would gladly pay for this app if someone could develop it.

So you want to get your UI on the TV so you can watch yourself controlling your device with airmouse?
I see an Xzibit 4chan image in the making here.
It's too bad this phone doesn't have DLNA support like some of the Samsung phones have. That way we can forget about the whole HDMI cable thing and stream it wirelessly.

It's the same principle as putting displaying your desktop on your TV. It's just a better experience. I have a Dell Mini 10V with Mac OS on it. I connect that to my TV and work from my bed or browse internet with AirMouse.
I want to know if it is possible to use my vibrant as a screen to play on If I hook it up to my ps3

No I dont believe the PS3 is capable of sending video over wifi or Bluetooth to your phone. I know through Samsung media share you can start vids on your computer and have them play on your TV via PS3 or through all share, turn on Bluetooth have PS3 scan media and BAM any movie accept Avatar cause it's DCF "SD card" will output on your PS3 through Bluetooth.
you can rip any dvd to the proper phone format, place it on your phone via Bluetooth PS3 will see it, choose it via PS3 media, and BAM on your TV.
"That was way off topic" I think. anyway, a little info never hurts.
I'm not sure if you're able to stream the video to your phone from the PS3.. but I do know that the PS3 is capable to stream the video over wifi... (I use my PSP from time to time to play on my PS3 in a different room)

#1 - I can't play the movie via my HDMI port. I rented Fast Five from the Market, and the trailer that is on the market (first 10min or so of the movie) plays fine via HDMI, but the actual movie does not. Is that some form of copy protection that was put there by the movie studios???
#2 - I'm unable to skip to different parts of the movie. It tries and after a minute or so I get error 1004. The only way to see the movie again is to start from the very beginning at 0:00
So, has anyone with a Transformer tried to rent movies from Android Market and has or has HOT that same problems??? And if you did and you fixed them, how did you do it.
Thank you.
Yes I've seen these same issues during my one time rental with Google. Indeed you copy protection prohibits the use of the HDMI port.
I think the HDMI can work, but you need the right cable and TV. It didn't work for me with my TV and cable

HDMI out works with Google movies, some tvs have issues with the copyright protection though and won't work right. There is a kernel that fixes this though.

I'm still not convinced that it is a Transformer issue. The movie studios have this set up to not output to the HDMI port. When I bought my Vibrant it came with the movie avatar. Same thing happened there, and it wasn't even HDMI. It was standard video/audio. But the movie will not play though the audio/video port. The screen was blank even though the phone screen was playing the movie. And yes, youtube works fine, even playing the 10min trailer from Android Market Movies works fine. It's just the actual purchased movie (in this case Fast Five).
And unless someone shows up here, that has rented a Google Movie and he/she played it out of the HDMI port, and tell us how he did it, I'm going to think that Movie studios have a copyright system to not play out of HDMI.

It *is* an issue with the TF. Do some Googling for Xoom or Galaxy Tab, Google Videos, and HDMI. All the other devices work great for outputting rented movies over HDMI.

Nope. Xoom can NOT play via HDMI legitimate rented movies from the market. They get a red X
http://androidforums.com/motorola-x...t-movies-hdmi-display-shows-red-x-screen.html
When you read that someone says they can, you need to figure out if they are talking ripped movies instead of the real thing. The Xoom can NOT play legitimate movies via HDMI.
Along these lines, I watched the trailer of Fast Five and was thinking of renting it but I thought I read somewhere if you were rooted then you couldn't download movies. True?

AFAIK not true...
I rented a Google Movie once, and I'll never do it again unless this changes.
I rented it, tried playing it via HDMI which of course didn't work, so then I decided we could just watch it on my laptop... once I went to YouTube to watch it, it said "Sorry, you already started it on your tablet, you have to finish watching it there".
So, my fiancee and I ended up watching a movie on the 10.1" Transformer screen, with sound only coming out of the right speaker to top things off!
I love this thing, but not for watching movies without headphones.

cable types?
I'm seeing the same issue with my TF only when playing google videos. A quick look through the google help suggests it should work but it specifically mentions hdmi cable type D to type A...
I can't post a link but if you open the videos android app, go to help a read the "watching movies on your HDTV" it certainly suggests it should work. It's either a TF issue or a cable type issue. I know the cable I bought is type C. Anyone know about cable types and whether it's worth looking for type D to type A?

Pardon my amateur question but does TF101 HDMI not output to a Panasonic plasma? I encountered this issue before and was puzzled as to why the HDMI would work with a Westinghouse, but not the Panasonic. Is there a cause, or a fix that I can deploy on my end? Appreciate the feedback, thanks!
You can use process of elimination...download any video file outside of google videos and play from any other media app like mobo player. If it works through hdmi output, then its google videos not pushing it through hdmi out. If it still doesnt work, then you have a possible hardware probem...cable, tv, TF, etc.
HBOGO, MAXGO do the same thing, you can only watch on the tablet, copyright issues per HBO, CINEMAX

It seems at this point you won't be able to mirror your device without some additional hardware/software combo. Google wants you to start a google hardware family, which isn't out of the question if the price of the Q comes down some and there's some functionality that makes it worth it.
As it is now though everything I have with a screen talks to everything else with a screen but its still a bit haphazard to serve media in any different direction.
Hope this makes sense lol!

To do what you are saying requires a Mobile High Definition link ~ aka an MHL connection which in turn goes to the HDMI port on a TV. Earlier cables (Samsung Galaxy S) could connect to a VGA port on a TV.
Unfortunately the Nexus does not come with any MHL capability otherwise we would by now be hearing of an MHL cable that you attach to the power socket (as is done on Samsung devices).
DNLA only links media files, as in Music, Photo's and Video. For that you need dedicated software to stream which has already been mentioned above.
Isn't possible any app to catch on a Google TV device and vice versa kind sling box for androids devices?

Android is lacking here big time, apple has airplay through apple tv to show the screen on the tv and play games etc throught it, all wirelessly.
Android needs this... and fast!
VNC client and server apps exist, so if you want to display your screen on an android enabled TV you should be able to do it with VNC?
Its a WIFI enabled Smart TV I have... can use all share on s2 to share videos and music to it, but cannot mirror your screen, its something they need to resolve soon.
What can I do if my TV doesnt have DNLA, and the N7 doesnt support MHL.
Is there any other way? USB to VGA cable?

It's nothing to do with Android it's ASUS and Google who are lacking.....
You have the S2 and that can link direct to your TV using as you say Allshare and for anything else you would use an MHL adapter as the S2 has MHL built in.
If the Nexus had an Allshare alternative built in and DLNA support you would be able to show media files on your TV..... and again if the Nexus had MHL built in you would then be able to use an MHL adapter and mirror your Nexus screen with your TV.
I'm not talking about the nexus in particular I mean android as a whole needs some kind of solution or they are going to fall behind. Our should I say they'll never catch up on that regard. Can you point me to am mhl adapter to check out out

The only way Android would have it as a whole is if Google demanded all manufacturers ensured the MHL hardware specification be built within their devices and that simply is not going to happen.
MHL is not a prerequisite of Android it's an added extra that runs totally independent. Yes the iDevice has it which makes it sound like Android is lacking but the iDevice is just one manufacturer. Just as Samsung is a manufacturer and yes they have MHL built in their devices, so it would be wrong to compare Apple to Google in this shortcoming.
As to pointing you to an MHL adapter, you can find these easily in either ebay or Google. The trouble is though if you intend to use it with the Nexus 7 you will be wasting you money. As I have already said, the Nexus 7 does not have MHL capability so it would not be able to read an MHL adapter.

Unlike the lack of USB OTG (On-The-go) which is a simple software limitation (as rooting then using Stickmount allows complete access) MHL is different as it is a hardware limitation. Google obviously left this out (as they did with other ports such as MicroSD) to keep the costs down.

I've got an UE55ES7000. How to mirror the display content to the TV without the AllShare Cast Dongle?
Screen mirroring only works with TV's with the very latest version of wifi direct / miracast - have a look at this thread, it is discussed in detail. The only working method available to you at present is the allshare cast dongle.

complete failure. I cannot even find any documentation on my TV that says yes or no that is has WIDI
I have the 6800. You can send video and photos to allshare play. You can now even control the youtube app for the tv with the updated youtube app for android. But true mirroring is not possible untill i got the dongle.
To be honest mirroring isnt really that usefull, only really if you want to game.

I have the UA55D7000, a 2011 Samsung TV. It was on the list they 1st supplied as compatible but after almost pulling out and losing most of my hair trying to get it working, I went and got the dongle.
Works fine now but considering the adverts were showing that you didn't need the dongle and were making fun of the guy in the business meeting who didn't bring his, this was a major letdown. Especially since it cost another $90 on top...
I do find it useful though...
I have the Allshare cast dongle. It does work really well. I use it to mirror my GT-N8010 screen to a data projector. My data projector is quite old and does not have HDMI in so I had to buy a HDMI to VGA digital to analogue converter too. However it now means I can present off my Note and I am not constrained by cables.
