Does anyone know how to set up the HDMI function? I just bought a 4ft HDMI cable from Fry's and plugged it in my HDTV. Nothing's shown up so far...
Did you buy the right cable? The cable should be 'type D'. Settings -> HDMI -> Resolution -> Automatic?
Mine doesn't say anything about type though. It's from Qmadix. It says HDMI High Speed with Ethernet, and that's all...

Ok, just purchased a new one now, a Monster one. It works great

Hi~
I connect a OTG cable(without connecting to other devices) to my Xoom, and the touch screen almost not work! It becomes very slow!
But I can connect a USB mouse to the OTG, and control the Xoom smoothly, although the touch screen is still now work.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks!
Is it Motorola or some generic?

my cheap usb OTG from ebay works fine with my xoom ( both stock or mantaray/hammerhead rom)
I would try a different OTG adaptor. I have never heard of this behavior before.

I'm a new user to spotify and I have to say its an amazing app for music. I mainly use it for the gym. Id like to some how connect my phone to my reciever at my house to listen to it over my sound system. I also have a ps3 and thought I could do it that way but no dice. I have a couple of ideas on how to hook it up but don't want to start buying cable after cable and still not connection....any suggestions?

Does your receiver have aux in? Most do, just plug it into your headphone jack and into the front of your receiver (usually on the front).
Set the receiver to aux-in and voila
Simple cable, only like $5.
Hmm not sure i thought about that...it has dmport which I think is an ipod hookup....could I plug it in via hdmi?

What if you used a Aux to Audio In splitter (RCAs)? Does your receiver have audio an audio in connection which I believe all have?

I did think about that....and yes I do have audio in...I would prefer a digital connection...my reciever does have hdmi in...coax in and optical in. Maybe ill just try a cheap hdmi cable. Anyone have any success with an hdmi cable?

Can you even stream audio only via HDMI or is HDMI just for streaming video?
Hdmi is a combo of both which is why it became the standard over dvi....I'm on cm7 and I know people have had issues with hdmi out on their phone....I don't believe its supported in the rom

Don't know why you would prefer a digital in when you don't have a digital out. Unless the analog audio coming out of the headset jack is really poor, or you have a really long run, the analog would be just fine.
Digital will always add noise. It's advantage is it's ability to keep it's integrity over long distances and is worth the trade off over analog in those cases. If the HDMI transmitted the original unaltered digital signal to the reciever, it might be a plus, however, that is most likely not the case. It is most likely being converted in the process a few times adding noise. Plus the stream from the internet is most likely not high quality anyway.
I'd go with the analog and call it a day.
Well thank you for an informed answer....that's what I was looking for.....I will be doing some shopping tomorrow. I appreciate everyones input!

Glad to be of some help. I'll have to check out spotify!
Its pretty awesome....unless u have a music library of thousands of songs. Unfortunately over the years I have lost alot of music.....for ten bucks a month its worth it to have access to alot of things I havnt heard in years

Is there a way to watch movies/videos from your phone on your TV? My friend has the Droid x and he has a seperate mini HD slot beside his normal charge port.

Due to the Inspire not having an HDMI port, the answer is NO

It is actually possible. Twonky Server can stream audio, pics and movies over a WiFi network to a compatible device. I use my XBOX 360, I think there is a list of devices on Twonky's website. There is also the option of streaming via DLNA, if you have the hardware for it. I have not tried the latter.

Just tried this using the HDMI adapter from my ladies Samsung Infuse and when I plugged it in it made HT Locations pop up with no option to output video to my TV. Oh well.

The DNLA streaming works great, I have played around with it but don't have much need for it. If you have the hardware, it's a great option and easy to use.
Im running the latest revolver 1.3.1 and qas wondering if I can pair over Bluetooth? I dont have a usb adapter
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Well you can buy "sixaxis controller" app from the market. ($5 i guess when i bought it). You just need a usb cable to connect ps3 controller to your desktop to change bluetooth settings. Then you're good to go.
you do not need it anymore, it can be done without root (i am rooted). I just connected it via usb turned on bluetooth and it paired itself automatically for me.

Wait this message was directed towards me or alakhai? If me, then all you need to do is buy the app from the market.
Then download "sixaxispairtool" on your desktop.
Connect your ps3 controller to your desktop (using ps3 usb cable) and change "local bluetooth address" to your tablet's bluetooth using the tool.
(You can find your tablet's LBA at the bottom when you launch the app)
I want to put my xoom in my car and use it as a monitor. I want to replace my rear view mirrors on the side of my car with cameras. And i need to figure out if there is a way to accept video input for this from the usb cable or maybe even the hdmi cable. I would gladly pay some money for this app if it is not out there. But i want it to do a split screen to show both camera inputs at the same time

I had thought about doing the same thing. Only doing the rearview mirror as well. I thought of putting a router in my car that the devices would connect to wirelessly. No internet obviously. Then I'd use an app like tinycam monitor to view them on the xoom
