Because tv has hdmi input and laptop has hdmi output. You are trying to output hdmi from your phone which should go into the input. Since your laptop is not an input you cannot and will not see anything.

Is there any adapters that are made to lets say Hdmi to usb? I've seen one for hdmi to svideo. But most laptops don't have that either.

Are you just trying to use the laptop screen as a TV for the phone?
Yeah. Pointless I know I mean its a laptop. But my computer has hdmi inputs. Well the monitor does.

If your monitor has hdmi input then just plug in the hdmi cable into it.

so what you are saying is it shows nothing either on my phone or my laptop after connecting the HDMI cable ?
actually what I need to do is to run webtop on my computer.so i need to root the phone.before rooting i need to know all the things are working perfectly .
After rooting would it show those options in my phone and the laptop ?

@zeealot, you cant connect your phone to any laptop via hdmi... the hdmi port on your phone is for output so as the hdmi port on most laptops so therefore you cant connect output-to-output
if you want to display/output your phone on a bigger screen, you can only connect to a tv or an external monitor that has hdmi input port... also, rooting your phone doesnt have anything to do with it... I hope I explained that clearly to you

now, that sucks ...
You could try using a HDMI capture device like this one:
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/
but it is probably expensive.
$200 its professional grade used for way more then what your wanting it for. You can actually hook up your xbox or ps3 to your laptop with this and record the game play as your playing it.

Why don't you just buy the laptop and be done with it? You obviously have no clue about how HDMI works, and I wouldn't trust you trying to perform mods to your phone because I know you'll end up here whinging you bricked your phone.
Sigh.

you CAN NOT connect it to a laptop BUT if you're referring to an external display with hdmi input (monitor/tv) you can still use webtop without a dock... just search the forum for hdmi mirroring
Is there any way to make the HDMI output of the laptop to HDMI input ?like by using a converter ?
No. It's not possible. Period.
Use your TV, or get the lap dock, there is physically no way to make your laptop show the webtop off of your phone without an extra tuner card (hdmi are expensive, and not worth it).
Btw, google is your friend.

I think yhe2x had made it very clear already! Buy a new LapTop with HDMI "IN" port.
Even though I think dingdong a laptop with any form of input would be nearly impossible. Laptops just aren't something people expect, or use, as a secondary display.
Plain and simple... There is no way to connect your phone to the laptop and use webtop mode. TV, yes. HDMI computer monitor, yes. Laptop, no.

Since the Nook Simple Touch does not have an audio jack, it's a deal breaker for me.
However, might there be some way to route audio via usb -> 1/8th TRS? If so, I would definitely jump on the device and buy it as soon as I get some money to spend on new toys.
Bluetooth maybe?
Well since the Nook Color hardware is so close to the N2E, since they have working bluetooth, I bet it won't be too long until we see the N2E with it as well.

Bluetooth is great, but it has quality issues. Is there any way to get audio straight out of USB?
would this soulve the ****ty audio hardware issues? my car offers USB bt and aux would USB do the trick?

Well I believe the SoC includes Bluetooth hardware. Since it's there why not have that ability on the Nook as well. Enabling Bluetooth could solve general lack of audio issues for some people.
I thought I saw it somewhere that it's concluded Nook STR does NOT have function BT?
This week at Walmart I saw a USB / Bluetooth adapter. I believe you would need a micro-USB adapter to connect it to the Nook. But as I was looking at it, I was thinking of this thread and wondering if you could make the physical connections work, would the nook end up with Bluetooth capability.
Any thoughts on if this would work or not ?
not bleutooth ...
the thread seems to be going into bleutooth mode...
Was wondering if connectiing a headphone with a microusb adapter would help get the audio?
like say this micro usb to headphones adapter
www[dot]amazon[dot]com/Samsung-Headset-Adapter-Strive-Flight/dp/B003W057FS/ref=pd_cp_cps_1
same as catzilla this would really help me decide on the nook touch
People seem to get it working with the nook colour, so it may be for the touch as well.
First step is to get USB host mode
check this thread,

Saombra,
But this only works on CM7. Still waiting for something that may run on regular nook android. And it is quite scary that you may fry your usb on th enook in case you forget to switch it back to client mode before connecting to your computer.

Someone with a little patience could probably take the required code from the latest CM 2.6.29 kernel sources and apply it to the Nook kernel sources.
Also I seem to recall that the "usb power issue" was solved some time ago?
USB host mode is nice and all that, but are there actually any libs in Android that can push audio trough USB?
I remember dreaming of being able to connect my X10 to an external DAC, but that was before I invested in a couple of squeezeboxes
Well, I hope we can find someone with time and knowledge to do so.
And regarding the usb host, that is the information I found from saombra's post.
I don't know regarding library, but I know that in this post those guys learned how to get audio from a dock using a samsung smartphone usb port. So there is a way. Maybe the only way.
Hey guys so I got my phone hooked up to the car stereo via usb and was wondering is there an app or a settings I can do make my phone play music?

I'm unaware if ICS is able to run Audio through USB.
I've found in several another threads here on XDADev that it doesn't work even on the most recent phones and even on Jelly Bean (4.1, 4.2).
(One of those threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771834)
Also, I'm just shooting at the big globe in the sky right now, but you could try mounting the SD card as a Massive Storage Device and letting the car stereo read the MP3 out the SD card. I can't try it on my radio, as it is CD-era old. Just saying.
I have a Nook Color with an N2A SD card installed. I received a Braven 570 Bluetooh speaker for Christmas. B&N Tech Support saus that the Nook Color does not support Bluetooth applications. Do I have other alternatives?

The n2a SD card is based on cm7 so it does support Bluetooth, although limited range. The BN firmware does not support Bluetooth. Have you tried pairing the speaker in cm7? The pairing code is either 0000 or 1234.

You stated you have a n2a SD card. Insert it into the SD card slot. It should boot up with the operating system. Then go to settings-bluetooth-connect. You may need to set nook color discoverable to devices. Once Nook color see the device, pair and enter the code.
Did That!

I have already done that, the Braven 570 shows as paired, but when I click on it I get an error message that says "unfortunately setup is stopping", nothing more?

If you have an Android phone see if you can pair the speaker and play music through it. You can also try to pair it with a BT capable laptop to see if speaker works.

The Braven 570 pairs with my cell phone wonderfully, it's the Nook Color that I'm looking to connect to.

We know the speaker works. The Braven 570 supports two BT profiles-HFP (hands free profile) and A2DP. I don't know if the OS on N2A SD card supports these profiles. Call the N2A folks and ask them.
I'm running Cm7 and have a similar bluetooth speaker. It works fine, but it has to be less than 3 feet away. I usually keep it next to the Nook, or on top of the screen if I'm taking a shower (works nice and loud!)
Most bluetooth devices pair and connect beautifully, but make sure you keep it within range or the music gets choppy/cuts out.

You can download all this stuff for free. Just read the forums.
Also b&n says there is no Bluetooth because they never enabled it and there is no internal antenna for it. Nevertheless, it is enabled in all released versions of CyanogenMod for nook color from version 7 onward. The latest is 10.1. You'll find BT has a limited range due to the lack of antenna...
And again, the full software is completely free of charge and available online. Some companies have simply taken the free software, slapped their name on it, and are reselling it. Some of these companies do so with an offer of support. You can generally find great support online for free as well.

Isn't the Blue Snowball a usb mic? I would be really surprised if it did work on the TF300T.
In researching this myself I've learned that Android is missing the correct drivers for USB recording. You'll need an app for a mic to work properly.
There is a $4.60 app on the Play Store called USB Audio Recorder Pro that addresses that. On the app page there is a link for all compatible mics and interfaces. The dev has a free trial version, too. It works great for me.
