WiFi Direct. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cant get WiFi Direct to work with my Nexus 7 + Galaxy Nexus, Xbox, or LG TV box. My Note 2 and Gs3 works fine work fine with the Xbox and LG TV box. Does anyone know why the issue is. I have tried a few apps from the play store but no dice.

How do I connect my Nexus 7 with my TV?

Basically, once I get my Nexus 7 (Tuesday) I'd love to play games like Dead Trigger and Shadowgun on a big display with my PS3 controller. I know that I can get the sixaxis controller app working but I have no idea how I'll display the image off my laptop onto the TV (which is not a smart TV) and (if possible with some sort of splitter charge at the same time). I'd really appreciate it if somebody could help me.
Bump! Anybody know? I wanna do this too.

Mhl but the n7 doesn't support it
Nexus 7 of HELLBoy
Don't think Nexus 7 supports output to TV

MHL = nope
But you can check this out:

what about wifi direct?
Pretty sure its just for file transfer, but I don't have a TV that supports it to test. There's no MHL so you can scratch that. This thing by HTC has been the only thing I've seen that lets you do some stuff, but seems pretty limited
You can use the stupid expensive pricey nexus q

Video Out.

Hey everyone!
My Nexus 7 will be here Wednesday (YAY!)
And I just read that the USB port isn't MHL
Without buying the Nexus Q (All I have in the country is my 4g tether) how can I use an external monitor on my new tablet?
I noticed that there are 4 pogo pins on the nexus 7 vs the 3 on the galaxy nexus. Is there video out on these? Also my M18x has something called WI-HD that allows me to wirelessly transmit my monitor signal to a reciever connected to my tv. Is there any way my new tab can do something similar? I suppose I can just use my galaxy nexus for my Play TV shows but I was kind of looking forward to playing games on the big screen.
Thanks!
Bump. any suggestions guys?
There is no cable solution... chances are there will be a software WiFi Direct solution, but not yet.
Thanks for the info.

What game controller will work with stock nexus 7?

I thought a play station 3 one would work, but i read you have to be rooted? Then I read a wired xbox 360 controller will work? What works for sure? Thanks

You only have to be rooted if you want to use the ps3 control wirelessly. Otherwise on stock, buy a USB OTG cable and plug the control in.

Ok will a generic ps3 controller work? People said the knock off brands wont work but maybe their talking about wireless ones only?

It may or may not. Hook it up and see. It should see it as a gamepad. Bout the wireless, yes if its a knock off it won't connect wirelessly with the six axis controller app.

i've tested the OTG cable with the official Dual Shock 3 controller, and some third-party wired controller- i think Nyko?
both worked on stock.
NYKO PLAY PAD PRO $40.00 at your local GameStop once you buy it go to GPLAY and download the app PLAYGROUND and sync it with your games GOD BLESS it works great on my stock NEXUS7

Turn Nexus 7 into a youtube TV

I would like to turn my Nexus 7 into a youtube TV so that I select the video that I want on my laptop and play it on my nexus 7 which is connect via the wifi. Is it possible? The only option that I saw, which was close enough was CheapCast, which is not currently maintained and it need the chromecast app in mobile devices.
I am hoping to turn my nexus 7 into a tv so I can pair it via the youtube in my laptop. Any idea?
Sounds like a good idea... But I have no idea how. If you find out be sure to come back and say how you did it.
