Hey I have a few questions which I would appreciate if answered.
1. Can the a500 output to a monitor via dvi? Is there something that would need to be enabled or not. I know it can output via HDMI.
2. Has anyone actually bricked their device to a state in which it cant be recovered, I know sc2k can usually recover the device with the UID, but has anyone got their device completely bricked to the extent in which the only option was warranty replacement.
3. Is anyone developing a way in which to or event bricking or an unbricking tool.
Thank you.

Not natively, no. If you can find a device that converts HDMI to DVI signal then you could use that, but I don't know if such a device even exists.

You can get a male HDMI to female DVI adapter for under $2 from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Adapter-Plated-Connector-Female/dp/B000FUVNX8
Which you would then use with your mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter.

Okay I should of said I have the adapter but it doesn't seem to display on my monitor I guess output resolution needs to be changed

This has been asked several times before.you need a converter box. They are two different types of technology.
Thee also has been a few people that I heard sent there Tablets to acer to get unbricked. Not sure if they talked to seek or not thou.

Hi, Jeff.
I actually have tried what you've suggested a while back. While it does allow you to connect, it does not power up the dvi port on the monitor/tv. I think something like what erica_renee or WereCatf are mentioning is needed.
Unfortunately I cannot find this magical device anywhere (Well,,, I only searched a 'little'. No real dedication, sorrrry.). I have an older monitor (dvi) that I would love to run the tab on...
I believe (since you've hooked it up, tried it and it didn't work) that your computer monitor does not support 1080p output from the Acer. I'm not sure, it could even be 720p, but either way it appears your monitor doesn't support that or the frame rate from the Acer.
For some reason hdmi to dvi doesn't work I tried every possible combination on many monitors with various resolution strange tho.

Hmm well hope in the future there may be a way, for the bricking situation I know it'll be pretty much safe with cwm but there may be occurances where it fails.

I have been wondering if its possible to use my HDMI port as a receiver?
Maybe a dumb question but it would be useful to some ppl.....
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
No it cannot .. the hardware itself has it as an output port .. so you cannot make modifications to make it as input
it is not bidirectional .. only output
.. sure you can .. since it's use to multimedia communication

ah yes - i found that the newest HDMI 1.4 standard supports bidirectional transfer using the new cable .. i read this in the article here - it also gives other details

Interesting, I'd like to know what's inside! (?)
A schematic would be great...
Thats some cool stuff! Thanks!
So the standard could support it but the phones don't support 1.4 or the adapters likely don't support 1.4.
MUST BE DONE, Bounty?
Maybe, but not by me
HDMI definitely requires transmit/receive from both devices connected, regardless of which is displaying. I can't say for sure but I'm 95% sure that any HDMI output chip on a mobile device would only support output for the purposes of making the IC much smaller. Search on Youtube for "28c3: Implementation of MITM Attack on HDCP-Secured Links" and you'll see a lot of inside info about HDMI and how it works.
Has anyone seen definitive proof that an MHL hdmi adapter will work with the Razr M? I guess I'll know for sure when my girlfriend picks hers up but thought I'd go ahead and ask becuase I'm bored as hell at work.
Not saying that this is final, but I just picked up an M this morning and tried plugging it in to my MHL adapter. Unfortunately, the TV continued to show no signal

Right there with you no HDMI though MHL just tested it a few minutes ago.
Thats too bad, if this phone had HDMI even if I had to use MHL and ICS webtop it would be perfect. Its the first phone in a while with a pocketable size screen and decent specs.
I don't use my phone for HDMI output so I have no experience with it. There was a thread on the motorola forum saying the device does support DLNA in response to similar questions. Not sure if that helps. I looked through Target and BestBuy, just curious, but didn't see any TVs that listed DLNA support.

Hy guys!
I just found a jack to compozit cable in my cabinet. It has a Jack father and an RCA (red-white-yellow) father. I have got a pic, but Im new in here, so I cant link...
So, I just wondering, can we use this cable to connect the N7 to a TV?
I know, at the moment we can't, but why? Because the hardware limitation, or the android doesn't support this feature?

As far as I know, you'd just be transporting the audio if you were to plug it into any device. You'd have to have an extra adapter to port the video through the yellow composite video cable.
Though people have been known to make some wicked little mods, so you never know these days.
Nexus 7 does not have the hardware capability.

You could always use an MHL adapter to output to a TV, that is if the Nexus 7 supports that method. I've never tried it.

Ah, well that's disappointing. I never looked into it before, but now I know. =P
Thats awkward. So If we want to connent the tablet to a television, we must use some wifi app, and the TV must be a smart one...
Or can We take advantage of pogo-jack? I never seen before this kind of plug, so I dont know, what it can do.

Hi all,
Whilst chilling with a friend he showed me a new gadget he'd purchased.
It was a wireless HDMI solution that used USB.
The USB stick, broadcasted the HDMI to a reciever, which in-turn sat by the TV with an ACTUAL HDMI cable plugged into the TV.
My first though was, would this work for my nexus? Putting the USB into the OTG cable?
I thought the only issue maybe drivers?
The device:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Q-Waves-Wireless-USB-HDMI-Extender/dp/B002RL9F38
Fair expensive on Amazon, but my friend picked one up at £40.
Is this a viable solution?
Delete please.
At best it would be usable for slideshows / presentations.
From my understanding there is insufficient bandwidth via USB2 to smoothly stream video at anything other than very low resolution.

Yeah, I may just take my Nexus up to the friends, get it all connected and see what happens.
Would any1 be interested in me testing it?
USB 2.0 is plenty fast enough for a compressed 1080p HD video stream. It is plenty fast for several of them simultaneously, frankly.
I suspect that the device uses a windows driver plus a PC application program... neither of which the N7 will have.

No offence, I don't give a crap about the speed of USB, nor whether it can stream in "HD" or not. All I want to know is if this would work with the N7.

Then try it and let us know. I highly doubt it would work though. If video signals can be sent over the micro USB port, then ASUS would've just said the N7 supports MHL. Since MHL isn't supported, I doubt the video signals can be sent over the wire.

Dunno about this device, but I think USB s simply not fast enough for quality video. I had a Lenovo notebook with USB "docking" which was attached through USB. Along with external keyboard and mouse it also transfered video to external monitor. And there was visible difference then when using normal VGA/DVI. It kinda worked, but was annoying because it had problems with speed. So because of that experience I think USB is not viable solution for video. And I'm talking about displaying normal DESKTOP not video! With video it must be even worse.
Hey I don't know if it would work or not but I'm very interested in you testing it.

It's a USB device. If it has driver support, it'll work. There are USB 'video cards' that support "HD" resolutions. The trick is device support.

Just a spit-ball idea....what I use to stream content...the HTC media link works pretty well as a media streamer when it's plugged into your TV
Ima try this out and let you all know next time I'm around there I'll take my nexus !
We have seen that on Macbook air 1 USB type C port has been utilized not just for charging but also being used as display port as well using an external adapter.
Will Nexus 6P/5X have such functionality using an additional adapter or directly may be to connect to HDMI TVs or connect OTG drives?
No. Disabled.
OTG should work, HDMI will not. I'm interested to see if the Pixel C has HDMI enabled. I would expect it to.

It does, and Google even sell a C-HDMI adaptor for that (only listed in the 'works with Pixel' section, though - not the Nexus sections).

It's not "disabled", just N6P doesn't have USB Type-C 3.1.
Could you please explain more?
In the Type-C spec (.zip found here http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/) it defines what pins and wires are used for what. In a Type-C port or cable there are 2 dedicated pins/wires for USB 2.0. For USB 3.1 communications there are dedicated shielded twisted pair wires used for high speed communication. To support Display Port/HDMI, the Type-C port switches the use of those high-speed data wires over to that kind of output. (I think they called this alternate mode.) Anyway, the Nexus devices only support the USB 2.0 mode. It is unclear to me which of these is the case, but it basically means that either the USB controller in the phone can't support it, or the physical pins in the port are missing to connect and use those high speed wires. (Or both.)
It is possible it is just disabled in software, but that doesn't quite make sense to me. Why include all the hardware you need to enable USB 3.1 speeds, HDMI output, and a slew of other features such as USB-PD... But simply choose not to enable them? Seems far more likely to me that the lower cost of the USB 2.0 only mode (less complex controller and port) were used instead.
Hope that helps.
