Hi guys,
Has anyone tried to use projector with a HDMI adapter plugged to Nexus 4? In work I use projector with my laptop for powerpoint and I was curious if it would be possible to do it on my Nexus 4.
There is one on amazon for £24, but before I buy it I would like to know if anyone had any experience in using it and how good the battery drain is, image quality etc.
Have a nice day guys and enjoy your Nexus 4
Yep, I use mine all the time. Mostly to play games or watch netflix but it should work with anything you want to do.

The method of connecting your Nexus to a projector via HDMI will be pretty much the same as if you were hooking it up to a TV. You need to make sure that the HDMI adapter you are looking at buying is a Slimport adapter, and not an MHL adapter, just in case you didn't know. As far as battery drain, you do have the option to plug in a charger while using slim port to help mitigate drain, but it's not required (unlike MHL where external power is required). I cannot comment on real-world expectations though

Hey all i was kind of wondering if there was an adapter that could go into the micro usb port on my N7 and transmit HDMI in to it from an Xbox 360...I am an avid traveler and gamer and like to bring my xbox with me as well as my N7 every where I go and wanted to see if I could use the N7's crisp screen as a monitor (though it would be small obviously). Anyone know of such an adapter? I have been searching on Amazon for something like this but was not sure how to tell the difference between a standard HDMI output micro USB adapter to one that received input. Thanks in advance for any help I may receive

Short answer... no. Definitely not with any cable or adapter... as for wireless... I'm about 99.9% sure the answer is also no... not without setting up some sort of in-home personal cloud gaming server using your own game console then stream it over the air and sync a controller to your n7... lol that would be awesome... but afaik no such thing exists
Hey there, i will be buying my first tablet - Nexus 7 (32gb) as i will be using it for gaming, reading, watching TV shows/movies etc
My main concern was regarding connecting storage devices
1. How could i connect the tablet with a USB Flash-drive? could i use an OTG USB Connector to sync the two so i can get data from my flash-drive via the tablet? is there a specific one i should get or any should work and where can i buy one. is it compatible?
2. As there is no HDMI input, how can i connect the tablet to my TV, if i wanted to show pictures on the TV. Could i get the MHL Cable HDMI connector, as i saw best buy carries them.
Thank you

yes this supports usb otg cable and it works flawlessely and you can also stream movies from usb flash drive
just google it how to use otg cable on nexus 7
and for the hdmi i doubt i heard that this tab doesnt support?? but still not sure
You can attach an OTG cable. You can either do it rooted or you can get apps to help you stream data from the external drive. Many people like to use Nexus media importer, though it's a paid app. People buy from 80 cent cables to $5+ ones and work fine. Just read reviews on what you plan to buy.
There is no HDMI support though in 4.2 update that is coming out soon, you can stream to your TV if you get an adapter.
While I love my N7, if you are huge on media consumption, you might want to look at the kindle fire HD. The only downside is that you are stuck in the amazon ecosystem but it has the HDMI support.

The above is only a rumor.. Its not confirmed.. Matter a fact there is some speculation that the device is not capable for full mira-cast encoding.

Gotcha, I didn't read up on that thread. Just pre-release notes on android sites.

I want to connect my Nexus to my PS3 via HDMI cable so I can play "on the go". I have a HDMI to MicroHDMI adapter and a HDMI cable, Nexus isn't rooted yet.
So is this possible? it would be kind of nice to be able to do.
Thanks.

Unfortunately it's impossible to do a hardware based video input. Wireless however though I'm not sure.

I would do some searching around and see if there is anything PS3 related to display mirroring and then see if they use display mirroring standards that would recognize the Nexus 10 running something like AirDisplay.
It's definitely possible via PC or Mac to Android but my guess is anything that is available for PS3 is going to be something where you'll need to ability to run homebrew on PS3. Also, keep in mind, at least with my Mac to N10 experiences, I am only getting frame rates in the neighborhood of 5-10fps, so that's not going to cut it unless you've got a checkers or chess PS3 game.
Does your device has Dlna ? you may use it
im going to buy that phone but do it supposrt that? i already got hdmi and usb one from my N7000 note
wish it does(((
this phone got low storage and i really like this phone

thanks but i dont think i can find this in iran and i already got a cable for my note
anyway i dont really care about this
woops sorry! i tought its a cable is it safe:?
For HDMI out I don't think your cable will work. Majority of older phones use mhl for HDMI out but the n4 uses slimport and mhl cables will not work

1. Nexus 4 uses Slimport, not MHL. You'd need to buy a new cable anyway.
2. OTG only works with external power, and cannot work simultaneously with Slimport (No HDMI+OTG).
3. There is Miracast, but it sucks.
damn i bough cable wanted to experience playing games on hd tv but my phone bricked after that no chance let me see if that works whit htc one s (of my father)
anyway mine got a hdmi input and a power input and a micro-usb output
and slim port is it better? never heard about it

I just got the Rocket fish Miracast dongle from best buy. Works flawlessly. Streaming Netflix, HBO, CNN, etc. For gaming not useful, but for a media center experience, is perfect.

i found this dock on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...id=1378589679&sr=8-1&keywords=multimedia+dock i was wondering if anyone here thinks this dock would work for a nexus. i want to connect a portable hard drive, wireless keyboard, charger and hdmi all in one. this seems to meet my needs.
I've seen a lot of comments about the Nexus 4 not supporting usb OTG devices, so it will probably only work for charging, & maybe not even that.

No, the Nexus 4 does not support USB OTG. The HDMI output probably uses MHL for USB A/V while the Nexus 4 uses SlimPort for USB A/V. This will only be useful for charging; even then it might not charge it due to the MHL chip in it.

OTG is supported in CyanogenMod's 10.1 M2
Now the question is Will CyanogenMod's 10.1 M2 support the Samsung Galaxy Smart Dock?
