Is this possible? I want to have the transformer lid closed while connected to HDMI and use a mouse for netflix. But the screen turns off no matter what when closing the lid. Thoughts?
EDIT: Nevermind i figured it out! just plug the hdmi in when it is already closed and you can then use the mouse to unlock and use it! false alarm.
Lid Closed-W/HDMI-But is the Screen on/off
Just wondering when docked with lid closed and hdmi working is your Tf's screen on or off. I was trying to find a way to connect tab to Hdmi and have the screen off.
Your post was the closest thing I could find to match. "Two questions realy" TIA.

Picked up an HDMI cable to try tvout. When I tap on the tvout widget the video and sound gets piped out to the tv fine. A dialog pops asking to hit ok or cancel with a 15 second countdown. A mouse pointer appears on the screen when touching the screen but I unable to double click to keep it from resetting. How do I double click when in tvout mode?
Thanks in advance.
Double tap the screen? i assume the screen on the archos works as a large laptop trackpad when video is being output to a tv screen

Tried that. No go. Quick update: Read a post on the Archos Fan forum and people reported the same issue. They basically said you have to do it very carefully. I'll give it another try tonight.
okay please share with us your results , i did encounter a bug whilst testing this on the archos 43 with the latest firmware, i plugged it into my tv via hdmi and it timed out like you said, so i went to system monitor and ended all tasks plugged it in again and my archos displayed the french flag on my screen (no kidding!) at this point i was very confused, i removed the hdmi and plugged it in again and this time it worked and it didnt prompt me to click ok (no timeout) any ideas why my archos decided to do any of these things? not that it matters but i just found it rather odd, thanks oh and sorry for using your thread friend
I was able to get it to work after reading the same post. Your Archos becomes a giant trackpad that is in sync with your TV so you have to touch it in the right place to represent the button on the screen to okay the TV out. It worked for me but the trackpad usage sucks.

Better connect usb mouse and keyboard... still not optimal (clone view would be best), but much better use than guessing where to tap on the archos screen.
I use the Netflix and Slingplayer apps on my Galaxy Tab 10.1. Unlike many apps, they won't flip if you turn the tab upside down. If I'm looking at a long program or movie, it's nice to be able to keep the charger plugged into the tab, which is pretty much impossible with the tab in normal landscape orientation. Is there any technique or app available which will allow or force the screen to run upside down so I could attach the charging cable to the top?

Want this too
It would also have to force the audio to reverse, I think. Sometimes while using Splashtop to watch a video I'll have to charge the tab. While Splashtop will reorient the screen, it doesn't reverse the stereo speakers. This is a pretty device-specific issue, though, so I don't expect a rapid response from the Splashtop people (they still need to fix Bluetooth mouse support in remote sessions!).
Anyway, first world problems and all, but it would be nice to have a fix.
My HDMI input is no longer a virgin. I love the HDMI output but find it annoying how the tf screen stays on >.> any solutions?
there are no real solutions apart from the apps that have that kind of functionality stock (youtube,google moies). One workaround i have heard of is if you have your hdmi plugged in and the tf in the dock closed then wake it up with a external mouse but that is only a temporary solution and is assuming you have the dock

Long story short, it's display got cracked, but the LCD panel is completely ok but 'Touch' does not work, so I decided to use a mouse to use a tablet, I connected a USB mouse using a Micro USB converter, the mouse turns on but it's curser does not show on the display and it does not work. I can't get past the lockscreen. What can I do? What Should I do? Why does the mouse does not work?
p.s. Repairing is not a option right now.
Found any solution?
I am curious i have a hp extreme slate 7, I plugged in the hdmi cable to watch movies on my tv and it works flawlessly however i am wondering if there is a way to shut off the tablet screen playing video while watching a movie on the tv? I thought it would be a good idea if it could do that but upon thinking about it more I dont think that it will because you have to shut down the touch screen. Please let me know if there is anything already on this subject or ideas. I have a usb keyboard and gamepads to actually navigate the websites and stuff if the screen is off just havent found anything on it yet. Thank You
There's an app called second screen which has an option to turn the backlight off, the touchscreen still works but it's a lot less distracting.
