People more talented/learned than I:
When I connect the Nexus Q via HDMI to an HDTV @ 1920 x 1080, is that the resolution for sending commands to MonkeyRunner? Also, does (x,y) begin bottom left like a graph in mathematics?
I need my USB OTG cable to get here because ADB->MonkeyRunner is tough.

yes that is the dimensions to use for monkeyrunner, and for some reason it starts at the top, not the bottom. Took me a while before I realized that.
Thanks!
I ended up picking up a wireless mouse and keyboard with the OTG cable and quickly abandoned MonkeyRunner. I sense this is only the beginning of my deep involvement with the Q, though!

I updated my B60 U.S. Transformer with the Android 3.2 OTA update and decided to do some HDMI-output compatibility testing.
I used the following:
15-foot HDMI cable: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10240&cs_id=1024009&p_id=4959&seq=1&format=2
Mini-HDMI-to-HDMI adapter: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10419&cs_id=1041909&p_id=3653&seq=1&format=2
Here are my results:
Sony BRAVIA KDL-46Z4100 (1080p) - the 3.2 OTA update makes the Transformer work perfectly on this 1080p set. It changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the BRAVIA picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output with no issues and no need to make any screen position adjustments on the HDTV side. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the HDTV set speakers.
Sony BRAVIA KDL-40S300 (720p) - there is a an overscan display issue with this BRAVIA where a bit of each side is cut off on the HDTV. This BRAVIA doesn't have detailed enough controls to scale back the output display to make everything fit properly. It's not terrible, but it's not ideal looking either. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the HDTV set speakers.
Westinghouse TX-42F430S (1080p) - the 3.2 OTA update makes the Transformer work perfectly on this 1080p set. It changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the Westinghouse picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output with no issues and no need to make any screen position adjustments on the HDTV side. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the HDTV set speakers.
Acer H233H (1080p) - the 3.2 OTA update makes the Transformer work perfectly on this 1080p LCD computer monitor. It changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the Acer picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output with no issues and no need to make any screen position adjustments on the monitor side. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the monitor's built-in speakers.
Sony VAIO VGC-RT150Y - this is actually a desktop all-in-one computer system that happens to have an HDMI input. The Transformer changes its resolution to 1280x720, and then the VAIO picks up the 720p signal and displays the cloned output centered on its 1920x1200 LCD panel. No sound problems as the Transformer sends the audio output to the computer's speakers.
I hope this is of use for some of you out there.
why would you use a hdmi cable then an adapter and instead a actual mini hdmi cable
heres what im using http://www.monoprice.com/products/p..._id=1024201&p_id=3645&seq=1&format=4#feedback
and the 15 foot version http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10242&cs_id=1024201&p_id=7649&seq=1&format=2

I bought my 15-foot cable and the adapter some time ago before Monoprice started selling the straight cables that don't need adapters.
Anyway, I rarely connect anything with a mini- or micro-HDMI output, so it makes more sense for me to use standard HDMI (A) cables and then have adapters for when I need them.
More TV's
Thank you for this thread!
Now, are you guys going with your mini-HDMI cable to TV stores to try out HDMI-out compatibility? Thinking I could do that
I have a Samsung LE37xxx, hope it will work, would be kinky!
On another note, you may have to upgrade the TV's firmware because the newer ones (from few years back already) with USB etc. should be upgradeable...
I had a HDMI to mini HDMI adaptor that I bought off ebay however it did not work. I tried it on several different TV's and different cables and a receiver. Due to time constraints I bought a new replacement adaptor from Jaycar - tried it out and worked on two different Panasonic TV's. There were some overscan issues but I didn't have time to confirm if that was just a setting on the TV. I travel a lot for work hence the adaptor is better - don't want to carry the whole cable. If I am in a hotel with a TV with HDMI there is a good chance it will have a HDMI cable plugged into it that I can use.
Hey all,
Just a question in regards to viability of the nexus as a computer replacement:
can you connect the nexus 7 to a 32" lcd tv screen (via hdmi) and use external keyboard\mice ? (+do the HDMI carry the sound from the device)
thinking of trowing away my pc, i almost never use it as is.. and all i require is some word processing, movie streaming and surfing the web.
what do you say? can it be done?
You can attach a keyboard via Bluetooth or via USB OTG, but there's no MHL or HDMI output on the Nexus 7. Try a search for MHL or HDMI to see a selection of discussions around media streaming, but there's no screen duplication that I've seen.
So I guess the short answer to your question is no, unless you don't mind a 7" screen for your word processing and web surfing

Q_Q
So the nexus 7 is not perfect after all :<
Could you recommend any other tablet with as similar as possible spec that actually supports screen duplication?
+ why didn't they just add the ability to connect to hdmi via micro usb to hdmi adapter
What kind of an adaptor do I need to connect my nexus 10 to my TV (it's an older TV, not flat screen, not HD. I don't care about losing the HD, just the size.)
Thanks!
Micro HDMI to HDMI, DVI, or maybe even Component (not 100% sure on that). If the TV doesn't have any of that, then you'll likely need an Analog converter to go from HDMI to VGA, Composite, or RCA.

Check your TV. If it has HDMI, you want micro-HDMI to HDMI. If it doesn't have HDMI, but does have DVI, you'll want that.
If it has neither HDMI nor DVI, you'll need a new TV Or an HDMI to analog converter.
Nexus 10 to CRT TV connection
I have a nexus 10 tablet running stock 4.4.2. I bought an hdmi to rca converter from amazon.com and a micro hdmi to hdmi cable so that I could hook up the tablet to my old sharp crt tv. When I plug in the connections I am seeing a stripe coloured screen that says 'no signal ntsc'. when i turn the switch on the converter to pal it says 'no signal pal'. Could you tell me why this is happening and if anything could be done so that I can see the content from my tablet on my tv? Do I need any software/app installed to make this work? The only ports on the tv are the composite rca ones. I know the tv is old but its its 55 inches and in perfect working condition so I really don't want to purchase another so please if there is anything you know that would help I would be more than greatful.
My setup: the microhdmi to hdmi cable plugged into the micro hdmi port on the tablet, then the rca cable connects to the back of the tv and the rca ports on the converter. Should work?? Help me please. Thanks in advance.
I am trying to use my HDMI output on a VGA projector and only get a black screen, the projector responds to locking / unlocking the tablet's screen by switching from neutral to black screen, though.
Is HDMI implemented in the latest update (11-20140624-NIGHTLY-manta) or is it my setup causing the problems?
I'd appreciate any answers!
Best,
dersami
I use HDMI port on CM 11 nightly without any problem on my Samsung TV.
I just use Screen Standby (found on play store) to block locking but to just switch off tablet screen. I mainly use this for spotify whitch don't block locking and stop playing by hdmi when N10 is locked.

Hi,
I don't know if it'd work on a VGA projector, could you try it with another device? Or plugging your Nexus on a HDMI TV? Because it's very likely it's the projector adaptor that isn't really working.

I don't have the means to test this on a true HDMI device :/ Does anyone have a recommendation for a working HDMI to VGA adaptor? I am currently using the Cable Matters Active Mini HDMI to VGA Male to Female Adapter.

I did some more testing and tried to change the resolution using
su
wm change size 1024x768
in the terminal.
Although this changed the resolution on my device, the projector still only shows a black screen, even after reconnecting said adapter. Could it be that I need to change the density or refresh rate? If so, what value for density might work and how do I alter the refresh rate?
Hi,
Can i use OTG while my note 4 is connected to TV? i want to use a mouse and a keyboard or a Controller while my phone is connected to TV.
and my mhl (it's 2.0 i guess) is slow, it has so much delay. It makes games unplayable on display, but everything is fine on my phone screen, it just has delay on my TV(delay, not low fps), my TV is 1080p.
edit: why isn't this thread getting any answers? is this anything wrong with my post?
