Hi I was wondering if its possible to use the MHL in combination with a keyboard and mouse maybe using a powered hub. The device is powerful enough to be used as basic laptop replacement.

Well, considering that it has only ONE output, connecting 3 different protocols (keyboard, mouse and MHL) wouldn't really work. Unless one output can answer them all, which is most likely can't.
Yes you can do it. But u will need a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. To run this config. I used to use my Note in a similar fashion and it was amazing.

So using a USB hub is not possible while using mhl simultaneously.
Thanks for the info.
The Z2 is powerful enough to be a console on the go and a basic laptop so I wanted to the possibility of doing this.

Hi there,
Is it possible to make a phone a controller for your tablet? I have a galaxy s2 and galaxy tab 10.1 - it would be great to be able to use my phone as the wireless controller...
Has this already been achieved? If so, please point me in the right direction...!

You'll have to provide more more information than that. What do you want to control?
Otherwise it's just like saying "I want a transport vehicle" and it could be anything, car, bike etc. You get my point

What I figure Freddie means is what I've been looking for as well - to use your Android phone as a gamepad or otherwise for your Android tablet, similar to the SNES HD app for the iPad:

There is great support for exterior controllers like the Wiimote being used for emulators and games on phones and tablets, but porting this method of using your phone as the controller itself is a great way for people who don't already own/don't want to buy another accessory.
I would assume it'd be similar to broadcasting your phone as a BT keyboard, and then using various button mappings fullscreened to create the gamepad. If an Android phone can receive input from a device, why couldn't it broadcast it?
Indeed!
Why use a gamepad when i could use my phone!

Hi, I was just wondering if you guys think sony will release software to enable us to use a microusb to hdmi lead or maybe even a devoloper on xda could make a program.
Also would it even be possible?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a hardware limitation. Is it not?

The USB port is not capable of video output on the Xperia Play from everything I have seen and read which is a hardware limitation.
Thats sad news, was really hoping to be able to connect to my tv. kinda wish I bought a Samsung gs2 now, not that im disappointed with my play I love it lol

Apparently there's a dock out/coming out that gives it a hdmi port.
If theres a dock that includes HDMI support, I dont see why you couldent just use a microUSB to HDMI adapter.
Apparently the dock is for the other xperias and not the play. Besides the dock would be ok for watching stuff but hopeless if you wanted to play games.

The dock itself doesn't support hdmi.

I know of two, pocket BLU and BlueputDroid.
Search for them in the market.
I've only tried BlueputDroid. Works over bluetooth as a keyboard and mouse. You need to be rooted and have a compatible rom, they suggest Cyanogenmod.
pocket BLU works over WiFi network and can control playback with pop up keyboard i think.
Thank you! I will try
I wonder why Sony's hasn't come up with an app yet, they already have an app for their new TV's and BD-players...
Why release a free app that competes with your $30 remote?
Tvs and Bd players come with remotes anyway.
Hey guys, just curious since I know the BT in the device is a bust would it be possible to get BT unning through an OTG cable and adapter. I was only thinking about this because i was going to try playing with an emulator and thought it would be neat to be able to use a real game controller.
Not possible, you'd need driver support in the ROM for specific hardware.

Hey there guys,
Just a quick one in case anyone doesn't know, but when setting up a remote on the TV app, on cable box, if you scroll down to Microsoft and use that option, it allows you to use your TV remote to control your Xbox!

Very cool!! Thanks for the heads up
Nice one, very good info. . . .
That's cool. Is it better than Smartglass?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Smart glass connects through WiFi and has deep integration in the Xbox. This simply allows you to power on/off your Xbox, navigate around and select stuff in Netflix etc. Perfect for me as I have an Xbox and tv in the bedroom which is mainly used for dvds and Netflix.
smartglass is different and has many more features, but having one remote to turn your tv and Xbox on is amazing.
Works a treat thanks don't even need to leave the šofa to turn on the Xbox now lolz

HTC must publish a website for IR so we can find updates and contributions for many devices like xbox360,DSLR,TVs...
I guess it works for Media Center receiver too?

I'll make a quick video showing you what I did if you like? Might just be in the wrong place?
For me its really useful because my xbox in the bedroom doesn't have a wireless controller and the tv remote is a bit knackered.

Thanks dude. Was wondering if this was possible. Sadly I did buy a remote for my xbox last month! But now I've got my HTC One, don't need to leave the sofa now! (if the remote is out of reach!)
I do not see Microsoft on my list

It's not in the TV list. Once you finish setting up the TV it'll take u into the Cable box list which is where Microsoft is listed

Fantastic, great tip! Hate wasting my controller's battery just for watching TV, and after a long programme having to connect the controller again before I can do anything. Thanks!
