Yep, that's what my house hold found. Now I can't find either remote. ?

The regular fire tv can do this as well. It's using CEC. What I found was that the simple things like the arrow keys worked, but Home and I believe Menu didn't work.

Samsung CEC...not so much. The Fire TV remote wakes the Fire TV and changes inputs, but no control.

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.

I'm also rooted and mine outputs with no issues. Occasionally the cable loosens and cuts out but I just plug it back in and it's fine. Make sure it's securely plugged in.
Mine works perfect for me

Cheers for the replies guys. i'll try some other cables and see if that was causing the problem!
One further thing to check is your TV settings. On my TV for example you had to enable the port in the TV settings before you could even switch to it. Also depending on what the port was defined as it may or may not pass audio. Worth digging around in your TV menus.
Snow/Noise
I have a rooted KFHD. Get frequent snowing effect on the TV when using the HDMI cable. I believe it is the cable, but have read everywhere that HDMI doesn't get noise/snow. So could it be the device or the port?
Snow doubtful.... but snow in general is doubtful
Is this hooked direct into your tv or is there a box between.

Bassbase,
Yes, we use it weekly in the office on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and a Kindle Fire HD 7", it works flawlessly on a 72" TV which we use for presentations with sound and at home I use a HDMI Converter on an old TV at home, it too works flawlessly with Netfix and Hulu. What apps are you using? Have you tried Hulu or Netflix? I can say Root is not needed to make the HDMI Port function properly nor does Root affect the HDMI Port. If you give me the App name we will test it in the office.

Help finding a good Bluetooth remote/trackpad

I recently found my old Motorola rz100 remote that I used to use with my Xoom. It had a track pad and buttons so I could control my Xoom and see a mouse pointer. I recently tried to pair it to my nexus 10 with no avail. I tried hooking it to my DNA and note 2 and it also wouldn't work. It does hook to my RAZR HD and has full mouse capability and works 100 percent so it must have something to do with moto software. My question is, I'd like to do presentations on my nexus hooked to a TV, and I'd like to be able to use a track pad remote. I wanted to use my phone but so far only tablet remote in the app store works to get it connected, but with no mouse like capability. Since I'd like to have mouse like control, can anyone suggest either an app or hardware that they have used to help me? Thanks!

I don't know about software for your tablet, but if you say you wanna make a presentation on your nexus hooked to a tv, if your tv has smart tv, then it probably (mine does) recognize your mobile and it can act like a mouse cursor (lg for example has lg remote control in the market, samsung also i think).
I'm using different tvs all the time. So I'll need something to work in a variety of situations. Thanks for the reply though.

Tried in on my two Sonys and Tivos. Works great. Simple setup...I just followed the prompts after running the app. You might get more useful assistance if you specify what kind of problem you are having.
I use it on the really old TV's at school and it works perfectly. It amazes everyone and freaks the teachers out.
when you open up the application it asks you to either press the power on and you keep pressing until it finds the work code , or you have the tv on and you press chan up untill it changes the channel , like most common universal remotes , it does not read ir to ir remote codes ... , so select the app , goto the remote it may ask you do you have a subscription to a cable satellite service if you do select the operator , and then your ZIP code, then setup your universal remote via the power button just keep pressing untill your TV works if you have some obscure TV it could take a while ..
dvd player?
I got it to work with my comcast box and vizio tv, but I can not find the option to add another device.
How do I add a blueray player?
I had hoped this would be a universal type remote..
No option to add a Roku makes it worthless for me..
Disabled it for now maybe they add more features later on..

How did you get it to work with your receiver? I can't find an option to add additional devices. Only thing I saw were for a TV and set-top box.

When you press buttons like volume or fast forward it will ask you what device you want to send that command to. Select new device

Mirror xbmc

I'm trying to wirelessly mirror xbmc from my revue 8 to my tv via this actiontec. Problem is the audio only comes from the revue, not the tv. Audio works with the other apps like Windows media player, Xbox music etc though
Has anyone had success getting the revue to push audio to the tv while using xbmc?
