I've been reading A LOT about the Nexus S these past few weeks. Never seen anything saying this is possible...

Don't know if it's possible. However if you have a Samsung smart TV hooking up to your home network and the internet, install the app called SwipeIt on both the TV and your phone, you can "swipe" your phone screen to the TV. This is for all Android phones not just the NS.

Yeah my friend got me jelous of his s2 that have tv out capabilities. He also gave me a free hdmi cable to test it out and im disapointed knowing that nexus s don't have tv out capabilities. I hope someone will port the mod for us or it is not even possible because we are lacking of hardware requirements?

[Q] hdmi out?

Can you connect nexus s to the tv like vibrant either hdmi or from the 3.5 jack and how about wii mote will it work

Hdmi out? No. Tv out via 3.5? Possibly, might want to try to ask some sites that already have the phone. Someone said wiimote will work since it has 2.1 bluetooth.

I doubt it with the initial release. It's possible if they release a rev 2 version, but right now there is no type of hdmi out on the phone from watching the videos and looking at the pictures.
How about DLNA?
Hey,
any progress in this? I would like to buy Nexus S, but HDMI is a wanted feature. Have anyone tried that Samsung HDMI-microUSB cable?
Cheers Jakoob

We've all been asking the same question, samsung won't tell us why it's there, but speculation is that either it's there and just not enabled, or it's just part of their basic touchwiz rom and they forgot to remove it.

yea i think they just forgot to remove the option.. like for wallpapers in Settings>Display. it doesnt really need to be there since it was used to change the lockscreen wallpaper which can be done on the SGS but not the SK4G . Maybe samsung could've taken their time on the this one.
I use the tv out it I got it to werk wit a cable for my ipod to watch a movie n I thought it might werk n it did. I use the cable to go in the headphone jack it werk great like the evo mirror app it show the home screen n some app on tv

This does work, 5 minutes of googling would've led you guys to forums where this has been discussed. For ****'s sake get with the times people

Dude, before you go hating does anyone have proof that the thing actually WORKS on the SK4G?!?! (like a YouTube Video SHOWING that it works???)
This should work, and its the lowest price... basically anywhere. I am getting one.

From your Home screen, it is obvious you are ROOTED. will the cable work on a non-ROOTED Sidekick 4G??

Which windows phone should I buy for wifi only?

OK, so I currently have a wifi aokp ics HTC flyer, iPod touch 3rd Gen jailbroken , hp touchpad dual booted with android and web os, and Samsung fascinate on miui 4 used only with wifi and has no plan of any kind, I bypassed activation. As you can see, I have a large collection of devices but do not have any cellular plans on them at all (my phone is a basic keyboard phone and I can't afford to pay 360 dollar a year data plan upgrade with Verizon, plus I don't want to worry about going over on data and being charged more). That being said, I want to try wp7 but don't know which devices I can use without a plan of any kind and just on wifi. Could someone clarify for me what my options are, if there are any, I have Googled it for a while without luck. Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance! just a note though, I asked specifically about the HTC arrive and dell venue pro before because of the keyboard, but they didn't seem confident in their own forums. Again, thanks!

On Verizon you can't use an unlocked smartphone phone without adding data because it's cdma

I'm not talking about putting it on Verizon, I just said that was my carrier for my keyboard phone, no wishes to replace it. I just want to try wp7 in general and use it not as a phone but WIFI ONLY, like an iPod touch. I want no plan of any kind. This is possible on some androids, I've done it on the fascinate. So I just wanted to know my options.

Are you sure? If that's true, how do you bypass the cellular activation screen and go on with using wp7? There was a method to it with the fascinate, and you could simply hit the home button once on a custom from. Is this the case for wp7 too? Or are any unlock codes needed to do this? If there is a custom rom of wp7 for a phone, is it safe to assume it can be used without a plan of any kind?

Hey I hate to repost, but want to find out what windows phones I can buy to try wp7 without a plan. Oh, and I'm not interested in wp8 yet since phones will be expensive and don't know what wp7 is

Turning my Skyrocket into kind of a GoogleTV

Now that I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I'm thinking of turning my Skyrocket into a google TV. I have the MHL/HDMI cable, which I ordered from ebay. The picture on the phone is mirrored to the TV.
Yesterday I tried playing a Netflix video (using the official netflix app) from the phone onto the TV. But it was very pixelated. When I did the same thing from a laptop using the HDMI out the picture quality was aaaaa lot better.
Anybody else know why this might be?
Has anybody else used or using their skyrocket as their entertainment hub? How is it working out for you?
Since the skyrocket only has 480p netflix only sends that down. So that 480p is stretched across your tv it doesnt look good.

A suggestion:
You'll be much better off by selling your Skyrocket and buying one of the Android TV sticks. They go dirt cheap, even the dual-core ones, and you'll get decent performance, full HD, tablet interface, and if you pick carefully - even Linux can be booted on it. And you'll stay with extra $$$ in your pocket.
Or you could buy a Google TV just saying lol.

Good point. But I can't sell my skyrocket because the screen is shattered.
But I think I'll get a Google TV stick like the mk808.

I did the same thing with my skyrocket. Using the mhl cable I got with an old infuse And it worked well only pixilated for about a minute or two. Could it be your tv? Or internet connection?

[Q] Add on IR sensor?

I'm disappointed there's no IR sensor on our phone, cause I could really use it for my TV not having a remote. I don't want a universal remote either. Is there any IR sensor I could buy and attach thru the charger port or connect to my USB OTG? And just like port the Galaxy S4 WatchON app to my phone?

You knew the phone didn't have one when you bought it. If it was that big of a deal why did you get it? Also good dude. I Googled headphone jack ir blaster for android and got several thousand results.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
So, you'd rather have an IR blaster sticking out of the top of your phone, than buy a universal remote? You could probably find a factory replacement for your TV.

Wow, you two for so helpful!!! If you weren't going to offer up solutions, why respond to the thread? And "I found several thousand results"...how about you link one?
Anyway OP...check this one out. www.irdroid.com
uhh they did offer solutions... 1. use google! 2. buy a remote instead.... i'll even give you a 3rd one... get an htc one, perhaps a play edition if you like vanillla android.

Are you dense Sparky? I did offer a solution. Op said he didn't want a universal remote. I was letting him/her know they could probably easily buy a factory replacement. Learn to read Slick.

Sorry guys I didn't mean to cause all this. I didn't know what to Google. I looked up add on ir for android and it didn't really help. And I didn't know it didn't have one when I bought it.
