Has it a tv or VGA port?

Hi,
I would like to connect a pda to a tv or VGA projector. Is this possible with the HTC touch cruise? Because it seams that the MSM7200 processor has the hardware already integrated.
Kind regards,
hqqh

no friend, not have, bye

usb pinout?
Hi,
it's a pity!
But do you know, whether the MDDI signals (Mobile Display Digital Interface) are at the "usb" connector? Do you have a pinout?
If these signals are acessable, I would try do design a converter box MDDI to VGA (if such a device such a box is not available).
Kind regards,
hqqh

The usb pin is used for usb or y hearphone.
The HTC Athena 7500 model have video out.
Bye

according to what i remember from looking at the qualcomm 7200 documents the qualcomm 7200 is able to do vga out. just need to do a hardware mod. have to look into this more to be sure though.

didn't do the research on how it works... but the shop suggests this is an option...
http://www.pdashop.nl/product/37026/47090/3481/impatica-showmate.html

Well, that is using bluetooth. And I wonder if that's usable as a complete screen replacement. Seems mostly aimed at powerpoint looking at the website (http://www.impatica.com/showmate/). Although it also says you can see the desktop etc on a blackberry, don't know about pocketpc.
Doesn't seem to be aimed at playing video etc. But then again, I haven't tried it so don't know what the performance is of this thing. But as it uses bluetooth I don't think the framerate would be that high.

polaris dont have usbhost it dont matter that the cpu support it htc use their own usb chip which dont support usb host
only Athena support host
so not posible to use usb to vga gizmo

Impatica
Hi friends, I been using the impatica showmate with my HTC TYNT II (Kayser) with windows mobile 6, and all the powerpoint presentations on the projector looks great, it use a powerpoint adapter that takes your power point presentation and then changes to an impatica presentation. I've just download the tool to make that my pocket pc screen can be display on the proyector (or datashow).
The next days I'll be using this tool a lot, if you have any cuestions, please fell fre mail me to [email protected].
This is my first time that I post something that can help somebody, so I'll be glad to help...
regards

[Q] Polaris Office and HDMI

Just a quick question regarding Polaris Office and the HDMI connection (I've looked for an answer here and outside of XDA, but I can't find anything). I'm looking to see if I can cut the laptop tether when I'm lecturing and use Polaris, connecting to a projector via HDMI. Those of you using the tablet already, will Polaris recognise the HDMI port and, even better, will it output slides to it while showing notes on the tablet?
Thanks

I think a better question is "does this thing have full HDMI out?" If not, we will have to put a pool together to buy one for Shinzul

I just checked this out for you and unfortunately it's largely bad news. Yes, you can output Polaris via HDMI (as indeed you can output anything on the Transformer screen via HDMI) but you can't have notes on the tablet while having the slides on the screen simply because all the Transformer can do is mirroring, so whatever is on the tablet screen is mirrored on the external display.
Also the way that it outputs powerpoint slides is very limited. There are no transition effects, slide-ins, etc, it just throws up the whole slide. So, I'm not sure that this will be terribly useful for you. I also tried it with another Office suite I have (Docs to Go) and the situation was pretty much the same. However, other Office apps may do better in displaying powerpoint (I believe there is QuickOffice as well as Picsel Office, but I don't have either of those).
Also, I don't know if it's different if you create the Powerpoint within Polaris itself, I just used a PPT file I had to hand, maybe things are different when it's actually created with the app itself. If I have time, I'll give it a go.

Any driver to control the MHL from the PC?

Sorry for my English .. Hello everyone first of all.
I have a HTC Sensation and I like to control from a touch screen, using this connector MHL, I read that in the Ice Cream Sandwich version that I have installed, you can now control is provided through an USB port.
The truth did not know very well where to place this post, but I think the media is the main function and see if you're lucky, the idea is to propose or if anyone knows, the android can control from your PC, as the case Samsung TVs that recognize the application MHL Device Anynet + (post link). The idea is to connect mobile phone to a computer with a touch screen and control it from the screen contenplando the quality of this type of connection and future applications, CarPC, game systems, internet browsers.
So far the closest I've seen is through a remote program or Android QtADB Commander, but they perform a virtualization and graphics functions are very limited (videos, photos, games, etc. ..).
An interesting idea would be that an application for Android was able to control the touch screen driver THROUGH USB host our phones, this topic is more interesting and juicy indeed already been mentioned in some places but unfortunately I guess we have to wait to get the ICS to Partin, do not you think?.
For those interested in the latter is here.
Greetings.

Remote Desktop + Surface RT + Windows 8

I don't see many posts about remote desktop but I've found that using my Surface RT + remote desktop to connect to my Windows 8 Pro computer at home is an amazing way to work. The touchscreen even works to navigate the remote computer.
And, since the micro hdmi on the surface supports 1080p, I can connect to a full size screen.

Does this actually work fine then? It's what I plan on doing tbh, I have a media centre PC under my TV that I want to install Windows 8 Pro on and use Remote Desktop.

it works very well. I do prefer the classic RDP client over the new RT one though because of easier touch gestures.

The screen on the htpc will lock when you rdp in. If you want to see the screen on the tv and your surface you'll have to use remote assistance.

Doesn't bother me too much... although it'd be good to have both, I just want tot have the option there to run Intel apps *if* I ever had the need.

It's actually awesome! I use Vuze a lot for movies and such. I have them saved on my computer, and use the network link to move them to my Surface. I was thinking I would need to do it thru the SD Card, but this is much easier

Is it possible to use the older RDP client and enable monitor spanning to remote connect using the tablets screen as well as a 1080p monitor?

For the sake of argument, could you use the remote desktop to use image editing software such as Photoshop through the Surface? Obviously, the screen is probably way too small in terms of both physical size and resolution to really be of much use but for less complex editing it would be awesome...

Absolutely. Bear in mind that the Surface RT doesn't have a stylus digitizer, so you'd be stuck with capacitive touch or mouse+keyboard for input (although now that I think about it, you can probably use a Wacom USB tablet with the Surface's USB port...) but in general, yes you could do this. I already have Remote Desktop pinned to my Surface's taskbar (along with Powershell, which also allows a different kind of remote access).

That is good to hear! My dilemma has been that I want a portable device so that I'm not glued to my desk for the majority of the day but the major obstacle has been finding a tablet that can actually do what my computer does. Remote Desktop sounds like an answer.

What would the frame rate be stable enough to remote my computer and remote desktop from work with no lag?
For example, internet browsing on chrome or watching a youtube video through remote desktop.

Or you can download google chrome and the app for remote desktop for chrome....Works pretty good for me.....should work fine for surface....or RT...

You should search the forum - there is a thread on Remote Desktop, and it explains how to use Remote Apps, which imho, is the best way to utilize x86 apps on your surface RT...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1977545&highlight=remote+apps
I get little to no lag running Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc. For the few times that I actually need to run an x86, this is the way to go. Do not expect to stream movies, or music from your desktop - although, I guess it depends on your connection - I have my home laptop connected to Linksys G router (im sure if I upgraded to N, it might be faster).

I found an interesting company (Mikogo) who have launched a cloud based Windows 8 desktop (which is actually Windows Server 2012). This doesn't have a windows 8 app but runs through HTML. In theory this would be great as it says you can install your own apps so is less restrictive than Cloudon and Onlive Desktop if you've used those on other platforms.
I requested an account and could then access a desktop via HTML5 using IE on my Windows 8 PC. However it doesn't work on my Surface RT browser (Metro or desktop) as the mouse cursor is not captured for some reason (I've tried via the touchpad and a mouse via USB). Note that even on a PC the performance is slow, although this is a beta.
If anyone wants to try this out I'm curious why it doesn't work in the RT IE10 browser but it does on the desktop. I did feed this back to Mikogo but they don't have an RT device to use (they suggested I try another browser on RT )

VNC has already been ported. Does the job, can be controlled by either device PC or RT.

[Q] How to mirror my PC screen to my Nexus 5?

Hi Everyone,
Most people are asking how to mirror their phone's screen to a TV or PC monitor. Well I need to do the opposite. Does anyone know how I can mirror my PC screen to my Nexus 5? I am looking for the option with the least lag, even if it is via USB and not wireless.
Thanks in advance!

I would say your best bet would be to use Chrome Remote Desktop. Download the app on your phone, and download the chrome extension on your PC.

Thanks. I will try that. Do you know if it is laggy?
Actually I don't need to be able to work with my desktop through my phone. All I need is to see what is displayed on my PC with the least lag possible.

It has worked the best for me out of all the similar apps (i.e teamviewer). However, it depends on what you need it for. For example, if you want to mirror videos it might not work well.

You can try splashtop, it usually is pretty smooth https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.splashtop.remote.pad.v2&hl=en
or even microsoft's own remote desktop app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.rdc.android

Thanks a lot, splashtop works reasonably well. I have an AMD video card, so I suppose that helps a bit.
I do not need the desktop controls, etc. I need so to say, just use my phone as a monitor, so if I can find something with even better quality and sacrificing those controls it would be even better

The quality will all be down to the network on both ends.
So the download speed of your phone and the upload speed of your home internet. If these are weak you will always experience problems.
Apps like teamviewer help as they connect to a middle man server which means you are less likely to see as big a delay than connecting directly where the connection as I said above is more dependant.
Not used splashtop personally. Microsoft's RDP is alright but I'm happy with Teamviewer i use it on all my pc's i work on. Having it on my mobile just means I can work from anywhere remotely.

Ok. So I was wandering if there is a way to do that via USB in order to avoid the internet issues, of course only if it can get better. I am not sure exactly what bandwidth is needed to stream my 1080p screen and if it can be done smoothly via micro USB.
Other than that I have an acceptable amount of lag with splashtop, yet it crashes if I go full screen on my PC for some programs (I tried a few games too). But running in windowed mode works fine.
