Hi all,
I have a question, therefore here is my idea:
The idea is simple - i would like to use my old device (Desire S) as a media box - being able to have internet on my older television, put movies on the SD card and watch that over a micro-usb -> HDMI cable and have my current phone working as a remote controller.
Is this possible and if so does this exist already?
Thanks for you input.

Possible but U need to have a suitable ROM that supports TV out through the micro USB. I Dun have a desire s so I can't advise U whether such ROM exist for your device.

Hi
is there anyway we can give output to TV from HD2 (windows) mobile?
i have seen a thread which was talking about attaching Mouse, Keyboard and even a gampad to HTC phones with some 4 in 1 cable and then output goes to Tv also, but this cable is compitible with specific HTC models. I want to know is this possible with HTC HD2 to have such cables and attache other things to it and see output into TV,
below link is for ref.
http://www.modaco.com/content/toshi...293679/how-to-use-usb-gamepads-with-the-tg01/
in this page they have XDA links and are talking about FPSECE also.
few content from above ref.
************************
At the beginning of the week, Schtruck (fpsece developper) told me he had just ordered a Dicota beat mini gamepad:
I ordered the same!
Once I had it, I realized it was not working
Schtruck just told me: " search for hidgamep.dll "......
And the answer was on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375407
And it works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I simply copy here the method given on XDA (for the HTC Athena....!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=616907
************************
No way, the hardware does not support/allow any signal output for any other display than the internal - no monitor, no TV.
at android on HD2 you can
you can do it with android if you have TV support DLNA by downloading DLNA software and you can share all media on your HD2 and watching it on tv, I use it with my samsung TV (support all share)
you can use your wifi to transfert video to your TV via an adapter that convert the signal received to analog video/audio output.
also dont forget to install a programm to your HTC for managing file transfert via wifi
Are you guys sure this doesn't work? I have a tp2 and it comes with the capabilities to do this out-of-the-box. Just requires the correct adapter..
Edit: here's the cab I used to enable it..
Another reason to believe it's possible is because these are found in the reg..

Hi,
I am using the team viewer app to access my pc from the phone. It's very good. I get the whole desktop on my phone screen and I can control it completely.
For accessing phone via web I.am using the remote web desktop. I can use many features as sms mail from the pc.
If you have further questions do ask . Hope this helps

Thanks brother
Still two more question remain
Could u pls help me
Thanks again

if you dont have wifi adapter in your tv, do you have LAN ? as in wired option. the model of your tv would have helped.
i have my tv connected to the same router as my pc which is also wifi and thus through dlna i am able to view pictures and music from my phone directly onto the tv. sadly the 3gp format of the video recorded by the sensation doesnt allow me to view the videos made from the camera on it. but other videos on the phone can be viewed on tv.
another nice feature is that videos which ppl post on your facebook wall can be streamed to the tv directly from the phone using an app called twonky server.
if you dont have both wifi or wired connection on the tv then do you have an hdmi cable input in your tv? if so you can buy an adapter which will connect to the usb port of the phone and to the hdmi port of the tv.
hope this helps.
hi
thanks for your response
My tv has LAN and hdmi connection so it means I am able to do wired network but I don't know how to do it. I don't have much technical knowledge but I am able to do that. I only need some hints at key areas.
I want to know both ways to connect. I have wireless internet modem/router with 4 wired port connection at my home. I have laptop, windows mobile 6.1 and latest sensation also. all of them is wifi enabled.
I heard somewhere that regular micro usb to hdmi cable will not support to the sensation. So what sort of hdmi cable or connector do I use?
Furthermore I tried both TeamViewer as well as Remote Web Desktop.
Both works very good between my Sensation and my HP Laptop.
I know it's inappropriate to ask here but if u know about app like TeamViewer and Remote Web Desktop for the windows mobile pls let me know.
Thanks again

To connect the Sensation to the television get an MHL adapter (this is how it looks in practice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-o_VCYd9NA )

As title says. I have two HTC Sensation`s and want to connect one of them to TV via MHL Link, and use another one, but see it`s screen wirelessly on TV. I hope I explained it right. Is there any app that lets stream one phone`s screen to another?

Nope, your best bet would be to download an Aosp rom with working MHL, then connect to the phone by Bluetooth with a Nintendo Wii controller, you'll have to use the TV as a primary screen unless you want to sit next to the phone, you'll have to download an app to allow use of the Wii controller through menus, Wiimote is good!

for example to play games on TV from Sensation wirelessly. Or to watch movies and swap between them while sitting on sofa
Hi,
I do have configured my sensation with my Gtab to do something like you want.
There are a couple of possibilities:
A) using imediashare little (free on the market) on both devices you can stream from one to the other. You can also use the DLNA of the album apk.
B) using tablet remote (free on the market) you can control one device with the other. In that way you can have an Android TV.
C) get a BT mouse and keyboard, and control your phone remotely.
Hope it help.

Bluetooth key board should work fine, the mouse would work as if its 4 directional arrow keys, going through and highlighting click able options, no cursor

found it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUzWmQymoME
in this video I can see cursor on Sense 3.6 (ARHD6.1.1). Do you think it`s fake? I`m not sure now Has anyone tried it?
edit:At 0:28 you can see cursor even in Launcher.
edit2: As in video, bluetooth mouse and keyboard works. Mouse shows cursor everywhere. The only problem is that both buttons on mouse works as click, no back button on mouse. But I have back button on keyboard, so that`s not a problem. ROM I`m using is PKMN v5.1.

I tried thaat, but it still lags too much to play game. But thanks for info, I will look at this app and wait for updates, maybe then it will be good
I believe that in order to pair the ps3 controller only root is required. So you dont have to flash aokp, dont have to lose sense for the controller option to work

Sense won't recognise half the controllers buttons and would have problems connecting, sense doesn't have a full Bluetooth stack like AOSP, so 70% of Bluetooth input is ignored
Now you can use our new app, VMLite VNC Server to do that, you run the server on phone, and open a browser on the other to view and control the phone. VNC Viewer should also work.

I use screen stream: https ://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream.trial
Works like a charm using VLC on my other phone to watch it.
Hi,
I'm on the same situation as you (OP).
I installed XBMC on the phone connected to the TV and Yatse (XBMC controller) on the phone on my hand. There are some games and good add-ons for XBMC so you can have a good all round media center.
Give it a try...
Have any of you guys checked this application out?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5ob21leXNvZnQubmV4dXN1c2IuaW1wb3J0ZXIiXQ..
It does not require root and you can import off a SD card, flash drive, and external hard drive. It's a really smooth interface. I'm not the developer or anything but I made a video review of the application.
Thanks,

Nexus Media Importer works on HTC One X+...
Hi everyone,
I just tried Nexus Media Viewer (the free version of Nexus Media Importer) on a new (locked / non-rooted) HTC One X+ from AT&T. Simply amazing!!! I connected 2 completely different MicroSD cards, 8Gb and 16Gb and they worked. I was able to see their contents on my HOX+. I also tried an IBM wired USB mouse and a Logitech M705 wireless mouse (using a USB dongle); they worked flawlessly and I was able to see a cursor, scroll through screens and select using the mice! Awesome work.

Hi All,
in Italy we use on our android tablet and smartphone some nice TV apps that doesn't work if you try to mirror or redirect the video on TV.
We would use this apps on our box android TV, but the apps always check if you are using hdmi port and , in this case, crash.
There is any way to hide the presence of the hdmi port for these apps ?
Thanks to everybody could help.

+1, Hey, thank you very much for the app. It works beautiful. Since you're the expert my verizon fios app is looking for wifi only, but I would like to use hardwired ethernet, is there a way to trick it to use eithernet instead? Every time I used the app I have to switch to wifi and its a pain...Thanks bro.:good:

original thread: http://freaktab.com/forum/development-area/app-developers-kitchen/4820-hdmi-virtual-switch
Is there any other app out there that will hide the HDMI? I'm trying to run a tv app on my fire tv and the app won't play live tv because it's hooked to an external monitor (TV). But it works fine on my fire stick and on fire tv it goes into the app lets me log in and even goes into the channels but won't play them due to being hooked to the tv. It's the Brighthouse streaming app I'm having issues with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having the same problem but with Shaw direct freerange app. All the other apps output fine to the hdmi port but the freerange app now denies sending to a larger or even smaller external screen. It used to work before but no longer. Hdmi virtual switch doesn't work, it just locks up. RCA tablet android 5.0 k3.10.54.
The message i get when the hdmi cable is plugged in on the tablet end even if the tv is off is " mobile device only". These are mobile devices.
