Hey Everyone!
Ive had an Iconia a500 for a while (practically since it came out)
and i have an old capture card with windows software that i use as a portable screen for my ps3 if i go anywhere. So my question is: is it possible to re use the code for viewing the feed from the card, to an app to use the iconia as a screen for anything i can plug it into?
Thanks everyone!
No.
Not much to say..... but... no
Your only option is to use a remote desktop app on the acer and remote into your pc and view it that way.
You need a battery operated lcd monitor... the acer is nothing even remotely close to that.

Yo all!
Connected the A500 to the TV via HDMI- no probs!
But is it possible to put the tablet screen off once you've started a video ?
Kind of like switching displays to 'external', 'external + LCD', 'LCD only' when you hook your computer to an external monitor? Just to save battery!
Or will 3.1 bring some similar functionality?

I would hope so, if not a towel might be a good accessory to pick up.
There is no possibilty to turn of tablet screen while connected to hdmi tv.
Perhaps the devs could brew something, but i dont think so.

if you use moboplayer to watch movie, you can set the brightness to 0, thats completely off ...
Use a towel- ingenious!!
I think I'll go with interqd's suggestion though- Cheers!
Hopefully 3. something will have it
Thanks all
Hi, folks :,) I've only tried with the Iconia A500 because it's the only one I've found with both a mini usb & full usb on the tablet itself, which I prefer, but if it can't do this, I can reconsider other tablets. I've also tried it on my Archos 101 on Froyo but the media apps are really slow directly accessing the usb drives, not to mention other general performance problems. Reggie

If the media app is able to browse folders, then yes, it can access external storage.
If it can't browse folders, then no, it can't.
Depends entirely on which app you're using. Moboplayer, for example, can browse folders and therefore works fine with external storage.
On that note, whenever I plug in an external drive Gallery does also pick up the media on it.
I would agree.
I think the key is if the app is mentioned for tablets would likely see thr external media.this is something that will be all worked out in time as honeycomb apparently deals with external fifteenth then previous vversions
If im wrong remember I spank back
Thanks for the reply, guys! I've tried this before on 2 Iconias & couldn't access my G2 Portable 320GB usb drive. But just now, a 3rd Iconia can access my G2 as well as my GoPro, while a 4th can access my G2 but not my GoPro. I've tried waiting for some time for the devices to load before trying to access them, but I really can't access the GoPro no matter what. I am pleasantly surprised that I can access the G2 now however, even if I don't know the reason why. I tried to reset the 3rd unit & still no problem. I'll try to reset the 4th unit tomorrow & see if that will solve the problem.
Hmmm, now that I think about it, I wasn't even using a media app today-I was using a file explorer, Bluetooth File Transfer, & I still had that problem with GoPro.
I am in transit in Greece, & the buying culture here is such that I can't test the unit I'm buying before actually buying it, & if I find a problem even just 5 minutes after I buy it, I will have to wait days before I can get a working replacement or a refund.
These last 2 Iconias have the same following specs:
Android version 3.0.1
Kernel version 2.6.36.3
Build number Acer_A500_1.139.05_COM_GEN1
Any ideas?

I wanted to know if the Nexus 10 can be used as a PRIMARY laptop screen?
A wired connection would be preferred, with a bluetooth connection being an alternative.
I cracked the screen on my Lenovo E420 laptop and I wanted to buy a Nexus10 and use it as a replacement for my primary laptop LCD.
Thank you.

Thanks for posting, Rally.
Unfortunately, the solution you provided requires a Wi-Fi network connection.
I need a wired solution preferably, or bluetooth solution at worst, because I will not always have WiFi access.
From the site you provided:
http://www.celiocorp.com/screenslider_faq
Q: I've installed the PC and Android apps but the two devices can't see each other in the "Find Devices" (PC) or "Connect To" (Android) menus.
A: Make sure that you enable Wi-Fi on your Android device and that the ScreenSlider for Android app is running on your device with the screen turned on,
Q: I've installed the PC and Android apps but the two devices, enabled Wi-Fi on my Android device, but the two devices can't see each other to start a connection.
A: In order for ScreenSlider to function properly both your PC and Android device need to be on the same Local Area Network (LAN and subnet). Your PC can be connected to the network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet but must stay on the same LAN and subnet. This should not be a problem for home use (and for some small businesses too) especially if you only have one wired/wireless router in the home or office connected to your incoming Internet connection (Cable modem, DLS modem, etc.). If your PC and Android device can not see each other on a complicated home network or in an office environment, please ask your IT administrator to see if both devices are on the same LAN and subnet.
But Why??
Why would you use the nexus 10 as a replacement screen when you could just simply well.... buy a replacement screen? Unless your intention is to use the nexus as it is intended as well but..... i don'y know i just find it odd to use a 350 dollar tablet as a replacement LCD.

You answered your own question.
If I have to buy a new "screen", I might as well get one that can serve 2 purposes:
1. A stand alone Android tablet
2. A replacement LCD for my laptop.
As nice and geeky as it sounds, it's never going to be practical. At best you could remote desktop into the laptop from the tablet, otherwise, not worth the effort, just get a new screen, or bin the laptop if you can live with just a tablet.
Maybe check out iDisplay?

Thanks for the suggestion.
Unfortunately, it requires all devices be connected to WiFi.
I'm looking for a wired or bluetooth connection.

Thanks for the response.
Why can't it be practical?
Why can't the Nexus10 work as an external monitor with either a wired or a bluetooth connection?

No problem,
Well, the device isn't designed to accept video on its usb port, and it probably lacks the bandwidth unless it supports some reverse MHL implementation.
As for Bluetooth, I'm pretty sure all Bluetooth versions lack the bandwidth by some margin to display decent quality video at a decent rate.
Unfortunately just the nature of these things, it wasn't designed for it, so it'll never do a very good job of it.... Remote desktop on the other hand over Wifi will probably work quite nicely.

While I found several apps that "extend" the desktop of the PC to our device enlarging the global viewport, I would be interested in an app that use the tablet as the main and only screen (so without any other monitor connected). Possibly via USB (Via wireless Splashtop would be enough but I would need a gateway to connect both).
I'd like to use it with my mITX PC instead of having to use my external 24" if I decide to move my PC
Are there any projects or app being developed/released?
Thanks
Simone

Not that I know of through USB, as there would have to be a display in being supported. To the best of my knowledge there is barely even a display out. Wireless may be a solution, but you would have to start the PC running on the 24", set it up then it should be able to run all the time without the monitor. However, it will likely be quite slow.
I used iDisplay from the play store,
You install it on your pc and on your tablet and you can plug via usb.
I used it since the screen of my laptop is dead.

Very nice I have to test it because the notebook have different behaviors compared to desktop (mainly because if I remember well the video signal is sent through the PCIe bus on the internal screen). However if it's possible to use as a "single" screen, i'm done
Thanks!
Does it lag?
I remember trying to use iTeleport with my old iPod Touch 4 and the experience was less than tolerable - the device couldn't handle this kind of operation
Hello,
I have a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and i'm not using it at all, so i wanted to know if there's any way to turn it to be a lagless pc monitor.
I know there is apps that connect to the pc and let the tablet be monitor but the problem is that I must have a 60 fps image.
Because the tablet is old the apps that i installed on him working slow..
so I thought maybe you guys know a way to connect my pc to my tablet and get a 60 fps result (I can use a cable from pc to tablet if needed)?
Thanks !
