Does anyone know if I can plug a cable into usb port on my phone that goes to hdmi on a tv and if it will work to play netflix with audio and video?

No. You can only dlna through wifi.
Dang, I had some high hopes. Thanx for the answer!

To use USB to HDMI, you have to have a special cable, and the phone has to be HW-compliant. The protocol standard is called MHL.
Not our case.
The other option is to have a converter with SW packing on the phone and HW unpacking on the adapter. None available for phones, AFAIK, and these packers consume quite some processing power.
There are apps to use phone as wireless keyboard if you plug pc to tv if that helps

I have an Acer iconia a500, a rca television, and a micro hdmi cable. After many failures i took my iconia to bestbuy, where they successfully connected my tablet to a lg tv with full mirroring. My tv's hdmi input is working properly, (tested by a xbox connected with an hdmi cable). After conencting the cable from my iconia to the rca tv the message unusable signal remains on the screen. Whats the problem?
Thanks for your help!
I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say that the RCA unit didn't support the a500 native resolution. I wonder if there is a build.prop resolution hack for this.
Are you rommed and rooted?

Did the bestbuy guys used your cable? Try different cable or your original cable to another tv.

Best buy used my cable
Strange in my case worked fine and the next time won't and any other time, I ordered new adapter as well new cable today. I'm reading that connecting and disconnecting need the tab be power off as well tv too.

I tried to have both the iconia and the tv off, connect the cord to both ends, and turn both on . is that what was supposed to work?
Yes that's what is suggested from vendors.

rca and nvidia
This is going to sound stupid.but I had a 42 inch RCA LCD TV.when i would try to connect my nvidia graphics laptop to the TV same issue.even tried a desktop.using the VGA port.would not work.I added a old sis.video adaptor to the computer.it connected right away.there was a web site I found back then about this.
I still do not understand why it was such a issue.but you are having the same as I had forget about it.I did send a report to nvidia and RCA.but no response.
My tab connects to both my TVs now I gave the RCA to my mother and got a Sanyo.its a OK 47 inch.my other is a 40 inch Samsung led and it Rocks can connect anything play videos on the tab to TV across wifi.as well as HDMI my tab will also use a Samsung wifi remote app to control the TV.
Sorry for your luck if you figure it out I would love to know what I was doing wrong.
Thanks good luck erica
Is there anyway to stream movies via HDMI cable directly from tabket to tv. With no special docks. If u pull the wall charger apart isnt there and usb output in that?

there is a HDMI cable designed for galaxy tab 10.1 (a cable not a dock ) to be attached to the buttom of the device directly
Is this something i could get at bestbuy or is amazon and ebay my best bet?

Can I connect a USB to my dhd
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
Hi, I think that since dhd doesn't have usb host, you can't plug anything except power source.
But I don't know a lot about usb protocols and maybe there is a driver developped by the community to enable the host mode.
I listen I must install a kernel for this work

Someone was working on that a long time back but that project went dead. Its kernel level stuff, so possible but not easy to do.

I searched on amazon and eay and found out there are some optios for hdi out on devices without hdmi out(micro usb to hdmi).
Do they work on nexus 7? Is there a dock from google or something that supports hdmi?

N7 does not support HDMI output, it is a hardware thing, been discussed before

You're talking about MHL which is also not supported and been discussed before

Like the title says, would there be any chance to get digital audio out of the phone, so that you could connect an external digital to analog audio converter to the usb?
I'm just curious...

It may be possible with blefish CM 10.1 since it will come with OTG functionality activated in his 3.4 kernel.

True. There already seems to be support added in the audio HAL for USB accessory aswell, but it's not tested.
Whoa! Nice...
Hopefully it will work, so that I could use the phone as a HQ audio source.

Would I need an otg cable (=pins4 and 5 shorted) to connect the USB audio device or would it work with a regular cable? I do need an otg cable for keyboard/mouse, right?

While I would like to add full OTG so it would detect whether it should act as host or peripheral automatically, there will still be manual toggle mode for it. You'd need a male->female switch though, as you can't connect it otherwise.
But does the male -> female adapter have to short circuit the 4th and 5th pin (Known as an otg cable) OR does a regular adapter work?
I'm about to purchase one, so I need to know it.
Besides that, thanks a lot for being (the only?) developer putting effort in this issue!:thumbup:

Edit. Oh, does the 4./5. Pin shorting only make the device detect the host/peripheral thing automatically? So it would work with a regular cable, if you'd turn it on manually?
