OK, lets stop all these jokes.
Obvious answer would be:

but MacGyver would use NFC->Bluetooth 4.0 LE adapter

Use MHL 2.0 HDTV Adapter :good:

thanks guys appreciate your help

On the you tube video, there are times when you use a controller instead of the S4. Can you tell me what that controller is and how it connects to the phone? Where do I get it?
Thanks

To mirror phone to tv you have to purchase 'allshare' tv adapter.

even for last year 'highest' model of tv,es8000,screen mirror does not work,but streaming video is okay(from player you select output device tv and in a few seconds its there)
but this still sucks,better to use some stupid computer or android stick,or just your computer(tv as monitor,heh),smart tv my a**
i call this proof of concept,not working technology
or maybe purchase evolution kit...yeah,sure
(note that i don't have any adapter,i don't see any hardware problem there,and i'm not gonna buy hardware patch for software problem)

Project Tablet screen to TV

Is there a way or an app that will allow you to project your tablet screen to a tv? For work we need a TV that will allow us to project the tablet screen on it. We have yet to buy a TV yet and we currently have Galaxy S tablet as an option or the Moto Xoom as another option. Any suggestions? I've Googled for a solution and I've also looked through the market and haven't found anything. Being able to project wireless would be MUCH preferred.
Thanks!
You have the software on the tab already its called All share but you have to use a Samsung TV and that also has to have All Share on it.

I think he means an app that can do the same thing as the HDMI dock. The HDMI dock allows everything to be projected to the TV, not just media. In other words a mirroring app such as ones that exist for the Droid X and EVO but wireless. I would be interested in this find as well. Right now I use the HDMI dock which works quiet well but a wireless solution would be gold.
I use a $24 cable I bought from ebay. Then I project my screen through my video projector, but to a tv would be just as simple.

As has been said already, this only allows you to share media (eg video) rather than apps/homescreen etc.
However, Allshare is a DLNA client/server that works with any other DLNA device, not just Samsung TVs.

This cable is a nice and cheap alternative. However keep in mind that it won't charge your tab while it is in use while the HDMI dock does.
can we log in to internet via hdmi dock to TV?

Yup you sure can. If you have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse you can do anything from your couch if you wanted to. I recommend the Logitech dinovo mini or dinovo edge if you want this option.
I know this thread is kind of old but I want to ask...I want to do the samething wirelessly on my note 10.1 2014....now I don't have a smart TV but with chromecast is it possible? Also would chromecast have to be rooted? I don't want to be able to use some apps...I want to be able to see my TV the same exact way that I do while it is on the tablet

How about the usb cable? I am not sure about your tablet, but it should have a tv out option in the settings. I hope this helps.

Video Tutorial: Use a PS3 controller as a gamepad via bluetooth

Hello
I have made a tutorial on how to play games on any android device using a PS3 controller via bluetooth... I have demonstrated this on my Galaxy Note.
I have shown how to configure it with various emulators (PS one and SNES)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMDSOr9WoZ4
Also added an app to help you find ROMS easily.
Hope you find this useful
Please let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any queries feel free to pm me, will get back to you as quick as possible

Do the analog sticks work? Specifically, are the analog sticks emulated as analog, or just digital (full on/full off) key presses, with no gradient?

Hi
@ ashwin123
How do you get the ps3 controller to work on your galaxa Note ?
I tried it ever and ever again with different Versions of Firmware , Different versions of the Sixaxis Controller App and also with different ps3 Bluetooth
Controller,but i don´t get a Connection between my Galaxy Note and the
ps3 controller
At the Moment my phone comes with stock firmware kl7 and i use Sixaxis
Controller App Version 0.3.9
The Ps3 Sixaxis Controller is Original from Sony.
The Galaxy Note is of course rooted.
I didn´t get this to work.
It makes me crazy
I paired the controller with the pairing tool.
then starting the sixaxis app,but the 4 lights on the controller were still blinking
and then they turns off. No Connection
Which firmware and wich version of sixaxis Controller app do you use ?
greetings from Germany
Turn off bluetooth on your phone first.
Then open sixaxis controller
Then connect controller to pc
Download sixaxis pc software
Change the code to whats found on the sixaxis app on the note
Now hit start on the app
The first player light should come on
Change input to sixaxis.
You should be good to go.
If anything is unclear please watch my tutorial video once more...
If the issue still persists contact manufacturer... (lol Ive always wanted to say that... juz kidding if you still cant connect it come back and leave a post explaining where exactly do things go wrong)
Dont you worry, we will get your controller paired up soon

Good news and bad news...
Good News... it can be done and its simple
Bad News... You need a receiver from microsoft, the one you get to connect the controller to pc... then you can connect it to the usb port (in case the galaxy note theres no USB port so connect a usb host adapter to the micro usb post and then the receiver to that)
Android should handle the rest.
This should work in theory and I have seen it work on honeycomb... not a 100% sure on gingerbread
COST:
USB Receiver $20 (approx.) (Amazon)
USB Host adapter $1-3(approx.) (Ebay)

Samsung Galaxy Micro USB To IPOD Dock Cable

found a cable on indiegogo called sam-ple
check out the videos allows you to use ipod dock remote to skip tracks play pause charges and does audio through micro USB neat.
Does this work for all docks???
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Would be great if they made it open source, don’t see why it wouldn’t be compatible with any dock. Indiegogo is a crowd funding site so i guess you can ask for features to be added?
Found the link
http://www.xiom-inc.com/order/
Great find, something I've been looking for..
Anyone aware of a similar cable available for order ??

This only passes audio through the 3.5mm jack.
That's fine with me. I can get a $100 clock radio for $20.00.
I am going to order one of these next week.

Allshare cast hub

Hi,
I am curious about this allshare cast function. Does it mirror ur phone screen to the tv exactly ? Besides using the hub, can I mirror directly to the tv or onto galaxy s2 without getting the hub ? Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Hi pool,
yea it will mirror exactly whats on your phone to the tv. including games videos internet and all. As for the s2, im not sure. Maybe a microusb to usb thingy? Someone else can elaborate.

It is out of stock at the moment though...
wanted to use the 50% off coupon on it.
I see. So the hub itself is the only device which can mirror the phone onto the tv ? I cant use xbox ?
Was thinking if I can mirror to s2, since my s2 is connected via mhl to tv already. Then I don't need get hub

[Q] Can the G2 mirror out to an HDTV?

I posted this question in general and then realized there was a Q&A section. My fault...So can you mirror out to an HDTV with MHL, Slimport ect?
I'm not looking to stream anything like Netflix or Youtube but actually mirror whats going on with my phone to a big screen. Specifically using it for golf instruction with the V1 app. Thanks a lot for any answers

Supposed to via slimport only....
im using the analogix slimport adapter and it mirrors EVERYTHING off the G2 works flawless they are about 30 bucks on ebay
I'm trying find a gadget that will mirror my phone to some RCA jacks. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Basically my car has a monitor that would display anything that's being put into RCA jack in the center console.
How would I go about this?

You'd basically be looking to take a Slimport adapter to get it form the phone, to HDMI. Then use another to give you RCA outs, like this one:
Search Amazon for: Etekcity® HDMI to AV Composite RCA CVBS Video + Audio Converter For TV PS3 VHS VCR DVD
Hope you've got some good room to hide wires.
