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

[Q] HDMI not recognised - please help!

Hi -
I'm trying to hook my TF up to my TV (panasonic bravia) to test out playback of some movies.
I bought a new HDMI mini-> HDMI (from Maplin) and nothing happens when I plug it in and hook it up to the TV - is anything supposed to happen on the TF when connected? I change the TV to the appropriate input for my HDMI and nada. Nothing.
There's no recognition of the cable on the TF at all - I have carefully ensured that it is in as far as it will go. No icons. nothing
Is there anything else I can do? Any settings? - I looked but couldn't see anything obvious. Does the TF need to be plugged in to power when connected to a TV?
Many thanks for your time!
No, there is nothing else to do....it just works when you plug it in.
It could be one of two things; cable or your tv.
I've heard people with both problems.
Hook it to someone elses HDTV with that cable to check...
Mine doesn't seem to work in my Panasonic big TV but works with my little Samsung?!

Does your tv support whatever resolution & frequency the tf is outputing and have you gone through your TVs settings to see if you can adjust some setting?
Also with some other devices people have noticed issues with HDMI cables that support Ethernet.

Nexus 7 and PS3 Controller

I'm wondering if anyone would know if it would be possible to connect an adapter to a PS3 controller that would allow it to be plugged into the Nexus 7 using the normal USB cable for the controller and then would the controller be functional within games.
If it can be connected then would it also be possible to pair the controller so that it can be used over Bluetooth?
I know connecting a PS3 controller to a Transformer tablet with a keyboard dock allows pairing but I am curious if it would work with a Nexus 7 using an adapter.

I'm pretty confident that it wouldn't. However, if you root and download an application from Google Play it will work. (Sixaxis controller)
It works just fine with a ps3 controller plugged via USB and an OTG cable. You can even navigate the home screen with it.
I can post a video if people want to see it.

Could you provide me to a link with a suitable OTG cable for this?
Also will my Nexus 7 have to be rooted?

is that out of the box?
I remember it is plug and play with windows and I did that and though it was so cool when I discovered that 2 years ago
I'm using the Xoom camera connection kit cable. Which is just a fancy name for an otg cable.
It works just fine on stock. No apps, no mods, just works natively. Buttons can also be used to navigate.
Here's an Amazon link to the cable. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Connection-MOTOROLA-Packaging-89454N/dp/B004UAG6WC

So it has to be an OTG cable then?
I have purchased an USB A male/female adapter and tried connecting the controller cable and the Nexus 7 cable together through the adapter and nothing happened.
Do you have any idea to why that may not have worked?
Just get sixaxis controller from the play store.

Yes I believe it does have to be an OTG cable.
Also, it doesn't work for all games. I think the game has to have an external controller option. For example the controller doesn't work for Final Fantasy III but works for GTA III and the emulators.

[REQ] microUSB Video Out for PC

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a video out option for PCs, Ive only been able to find mhl hdmi adapters for the nexus 7.. would it be possible to modify the hardware of an mhl adapter and/or develop an app that allows a PC video in connection via microUSB for use as a dual monitor?

[Q] Nexus 4 TV Out

Hi guys,
I recently bought a google nexus 4 running android 4.2.1 stock.
I have been trying to connect it to my tv using a HML adapter however when i connect it all up and set the tv to the appropriate setting (HDMI 1)
the screen just remains blank and there is no sound.
I have been unable to find a tv out option anywhere in settings, and i am wondering if it should just work when connected automatically or is there a setting somewhere i have been unable to find?
Thanks for the help!
The nexus 4 does not have a MHL chip in it. You will have to get a miracast wireless display adapter or slimport cable

I was wondering if the TV has to be full hd or just hdready?

USB DAC support?

The auxiliary ports on all phones are crap, does the Nexus 4 support exerting music through USB? If not, is there a kernel that has the capability of enabled that function? Thanks.

Probably yes, but you would need a Y cable splitter for the USB power. In the end you'd get a really bulky setup. Not worth it IMHO.

I don't need the power I just want to send info to my car audio.

That is called USB audio out. The Nexus 7 supports OTG of of the box, but even then it cannot support USB audio out.

So the chances of it working on a Nexus 4 is slim.
