Check this one out. Only $5.99 might be what you are looking for. I know I am going to order one. Heck I think the shipping might be more than anything.

I hope that it comes to the Wifi Xoom soon.
Pretty disappointed with 3.1 so far....
Also here:
http : //live dot twit dot tv/
Can we have an I/O thread to talk about all the particular things being announced? A major thing the emulator folks will love is the usb host capabilities with the Xbox360 controller.
Cant believe still no bluetooth mouse...
I have tried to update mine over wireless with no luck. Does it have to be connected to the verizon network?

Welfare tv out. Your xperia is a console now

Its very simple and works great on my phone.
What you need,
A remote client like teamviewer
A laptop
A tv
Set up your remote c
Software so that you can view your phones screen via laptop, hook up laptop to your tv,
Pwn nubs on the bigscreen
Also works good for phones that are touchpad only becaue your hands arent in the way anymore
How do I set it up?
I see my desktop on my phone,how do I switch it around?
Look for droid vnc server on market, it shows the phones screen by default
Easiest way to set it up would be rtfm
What about refresh latency? I've seen Droid VNC but it didn't refresh fast enough...

damn!....thats definitely a possibility. I hope not.
The resolution looks great I just wish it wasn't soooo slowwwww....there's gotta be a good combo of apps/programs that runs fast
EDIT: just f*cked with it for a couple hours.....android side I tried droid vnc server and remote desktop add on...both worked well connecting to PC and vice versa....PC side I used tightvnc and vncviewer.....both worked well also...
BUT yeah, the display on MY pc of my phone's screen was tinted RED, and was really slow...like 1-3 second delay on everything....
there's gotta be a way to optimize this! I wanna play emulators on my TV from my phone goddamnit!
cool, gonna follow this thread. i guess you need a pretty f-ing good internet speed to get it to run good enough for fast games.

I dunno man....the speed, or lack thereof, that it runs at is SOOOOO slow...it just seems like something is fundamentally wrong.
But yeah, I'm gonna follow this thread too. I would love to play n64oid and psxoid on my TV!! (maybe even buy some bluetooth gamepads and play w friends!)

seriously.....and on that note I'd be surprised if there wasn't a way to enable it somehow....the infuse 4g comes with an adapter that plugs into mini-USB and transfers to HDMI....there's gotta be a way to flash the phone so it can do it to?
if its a hardware issue, then yeah that's a dumb solution....but I'd be open to buying a hardware extension if someone modded it...

I just guessing here, but I would imagine that the HDMI out option is available just on the developers kit. During the demo of Desert Winds at E3. There was a port connection between the headphone jack and the usb port. I have to assume that port was placed on the dev. kit to allow for demo of the game during development on a bigger screen. The retail version of the phone probably does not have this port connection. If it did it would be a nice selling point.
HDMI out is in the service menu, but they removed the necessary hardware for the commercial release.
Hardware-wise it's not possible to enable anything because it's not there
eros78 is probably right, the service menu option is just a remnant from the dev kits.

Samsung TechTile NFC Tags

So my local Sprint store had some Samsung "TechTile" NFC tags to use with their app. So I bought some (15$ for 5 tags) and took them home, and immediatley erased them via nfc app on my phone, and reprogrammed them with the same app and it works like a charm. The thing that bugs me about the phone is having to unlock the home screen to scan NFC tags. which sucks but oh well.
Have you checked out the nfc screen off mods? Not sure if it works on the US Variant but check out the thread over at the S3 boards.

No, it borks my NFC completely...although it wouldn't be hard to adapt to our phones, as its just adjusting the power settings for nfc...

I got my 5 pack from tags for droids. Was about $10 bucks.
amazon everything lol
what are the offbrand ones called on amazon? do they program/work in the same way?
just type in nfc tags...i forget the brand but theres only like 2 choices. To answer your other question I think you just need an nfc programmer app

So, anytime you wanna charge the phone, it would open Maps and you would have to close the Maps?
More like you can tag it to turn on Bluetooth when you get in the car and turn it off when you get out. Or turn on wifi when you get home by scanning a tag on your front door.

Pardon me, but none of those activities are practical.
I'd like to turn on and off wifi when I enter and leave my home. But a Tasker script would be better.

To set your Alarm and make sure the volume is up, when you set your phone on your night stand is a very good idea. No effort and you'll always be good to go. We are human!
