I am seriously considering that the tab 2 7.0 needs to be returned for lack of HDMI support. I have called Samsung three times concerning HDMI or TV out support, they told me it is coming. But the tab 2 10.1 now has HDMI support, so I am thinking that 7.0 support might never materialize.
Has anyone else decided to return thier 7.0 for lack of HDMI support? Has anyone tried and been successful? I bought mine from Amazon the first week.
I dont understand why people buy these devices and start crying about hdmi support, honestly who gives a crap?
In reality how many times will you exactly use the feature? Netflix? Xfinity? Because last i seen xbox 360 has the apps.
Unless you doing powerpoint presentations then its a pointless feature. A tablet is a "portable device" meaning its meant for you to carry it around for portable entertainment, i highly doubt you gonna carry a hdmi cable around and plug it into every tv you see.....

Don't own an Xbox and do not subscribe to Netflix. I do have a lot of movies that are watched on my tab and when visiting friends they sometimes want to share a movie viewing together, when they are not pretending to be a soldier or a badman of course. There are times when stuck in a hotel room before a regional meeting and I need to review a presentation that bigger would be better. But the main reason I would consider returning the tab is because it was sold with HDMI support.
Imagine if your game would not allow you to get the BIG gun you spents weeks trying to earn.
Okay, just kidding a little.
:laugh:
Didn't know we were supposed to have HDMI support. Any idea how they added the support to the 10.1" model?
I had a microHDMI spot on my Droid Charge and never used it and didn't know anyone that used it more than one or two times just to see if it worked. IMO, it's more of a gimmick than anything else. I would think that using the AllShare app that comes with the tablet would be easier to use than playing around with HDMI cables.
Well if you knew you needed hdmi then you should of gotten one that has support for it. But instead you whine about not having it. If you needed it that bad there are plenty other tablets. But instead you opted to get the cheapest tablet on the market and hoped to get support for it later. Its stupid to start a thread about an item you returning anyway. Just my opinion.
And to add hdmi is not the only way to share a movie at a friends house, and most hotels still have not upgraded there tube tvs so its still pointless.

Truly dude !!! i don't think anybody is whinning, The first manual clearly stated that the tab2 7.0 supported this feature, nobody made this crap up!!! Samsung did, so anybody that purchased the TAB2 with this feature in mind is screwed!!! now what? Return it, call Samsung and complain!!! Why does a customer have to go through this crap...seriously. So please don't give an opinion if you don't know the facts!!!
Thanks,
I would have returned this too. I am looking for a nice cheap tab with hdmi out to play stuff on my big screen tv. Did samsung release the fix
get an android set top box. The cost of the cable will be half of those boxes anyway

Well, this doesn't help the OP at all. Who are you to question how people use their devices? A tablet is a multimedia device that should have video output, and most of us do give a crap about it. That's why some of us purchased the first Galaxy Tab 7 CDMA/GSM. So what if the stupid xbox has apps?... a $60 DVD player has apps. They aren't portable. And, yes, we do carry HDMI cables around- like when we travel and connect the device to a hotel TV. But, I guess if you stay in your room all day playing video games, you don't really travel.

Another useless response. Don't get me wrong- I have a Logtitech Revue and love the Google TV. But, again, it isn't portable.
The lack of video output on the newer tablets is what keeps me from buying any of them. I still stick with my old SPH-P100 for it's features that the new ones don't have. I honestly don't see how these companies decide that HDMI out- either directly or indirectly- is worth the "savings". I personally would pay the extra $10 it takes to add it to the tablet. Hell, my Rezound is HDMI-out capable. Why can't a tablet have the same feature? Especially a 7" tablet, which is seriously too small for more than one person to watch anything. Sometimes you just need to show stuff on the big screen.
Android is all about versatility- and cutting back on the hardware is just tying the OS's hands. The companies should let the consumers decide which features to use instead of forcing them to accept the limited ones they provide. There has to be a way to get an all-around great mid-size tablet with every useful feature for under $250.
So, in answer to the OP- no, the new tablet doesn't appear at all to have any video output. I don't even think the old docks work with the new tablets. Otherwise, I would suggest rooting and flashing a different ROM that would support video out using the old multimedia dock. I also see that there is nothing in the tablet's specs mentioning any type of video output... so if it did before, shame on Samsung for false advertising.
It is possible for Samsung to add video output with a firmware update and a hardware adapter... the question is, will they?
I only interested when using the Gtab2 as presentation device (using Wifi to laptop, and then laptop to projector)
There's no need for HDMI anyway, the cable is expensive & too short
ITs' pretty clear from Samsung's specs on the G Tab 2 .7 that it does not have the hardware for HDMI. If you had bothered to read any of the reviews you would have seen they dropped that hardware as a way to cut the cost. You can't fix it if it don't exist in the device.

But... but, the original manual said it DID had the support for HDMI.
When I bought my US GT-P3113 it was advertised as having HDMI by every website that had a pre-released review posted. I was not satisfied by the third party confirmation for HDMI support. So I placed calls to Samsung support asking for a PDF user guide or confirmation that the tab supported HDMI. They confirmed that it would support HDMI but that the online user guide was not available for download.
I bought my tab from Amazon for $249.00 full retail the first week that it was released. The manual that was enclosed with the tab did verify that HDMI was supported. I asked people on this forum to confirm that it worked with thier HDTV adapter. They answered and the answer was "it does not work". I called Samsung and they told me that a new adapter was on the way and that my tab would support HDMI soon.
I waited a few months and then it became apparent that HDMI would never be supported. I called Amazon for a refund and at first they refused until a supervisor was engaged and they approved a fulll refund instantly.
After not having my tab for a week I stopped by MicroCenter in my area and they had the US GT-P3113 for $199.00. I bought it from them and it had the updated manual which does not state support for HDMI (Build date 06/2012), I am happy with my tab and use DNLA with my Samsung LED TV, but I would still like HDMI support.
Well I wasn't around for pre-release hype, but as it stands now, the P3113 has no hardware inside to support this function. The P6200 and P6210 (Gtab 7 Plus) both have hardware and do support the function. Bottom line is you cannot make software support hardware that doesn't exist.

is there any way we can do hdmi at all, this dlna thing does not seem to be catching on and it seems rather bulky. it will not play any of my windows media files?
DLNA not catching on? Like every new TV I see has it, almost all bluray players have it, the PS3 and Xbox has it, and every single computer is capable of it. Pretty sure it has caught on pretty well.
But no, there is no HDMI solution right now.
I'm not a huge fan of DLNA myself because it's not useful for older HDTV's, and it's a lot more cumbersome to setup than plugging in a cable and pressing play. I thought we were supposed to get HDMI out via the USB port, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Well I wasnt expecting a rude answer but yes its not catching on , they may have it but it is bulky and cumbersom to use , the standard is not quite standard yet. some companys call it allshare, (samsung) some call it DLNA and the operation of it is not the same on everyone of them.
plus they may have it but not everyone has the money to do out and buy a new system just to support DLNA.
Wasn't meaning to be rude, its just what you said made no sense. Allshare is just a program that uses DLNA. DLNA is the standard. Every computer supports DLNA, most bluray players and many if not most new TV's support it. Also, the Xbox360 and PS3.
The only company that changed the standard to only work with their devices is Apple, who is promoting their airplay nonsense.
You can use ANY of these apps to play to a DLNA device:

WTF ???
edit : can they prove that this cable works without any driver ? and kernel support ? how will this work without kernel support ? fishy...
it doesn't deny it. it DOES say "compatible mobile devices". if the i9003 isn't currently compatible, then it won't work, but if it is, it will. that's the way people do things without getting in trouble because they warn you that it only works with COMPATIBLE devices. a clever way to sell things without getting into trouble
so, does the seller actually claim, word for word, that it WILL work on an i9003? if not, then just take anyone's word for it (that knows what they're talking about) when they say tv out doesn't work on our device at this time
"no driver is required" is like my camera. nothing has to be installed for me to view pictures on my tv; it's programmed to work using the rca cable

product description is very clear. They have said that cable helps to show audio & vdo contents on tv. Means if u have mp3, vdo files then only it will show on tv. In real term its not a tv out. Tv out means porting mobile screen as it is on tv.

I tested with car bluetooth (blue5) & I could play video with sound on car screen.
does this bluetooth gadget use the 3.5mm jack? no. will it be helpful so people won't worry so much about tv? YES! do all tv's support bluetooth? NO!
provide a link to the bluetooth device and put it in the marketplace for those that want tv out now, and if they're desperate, they can pay for a bluetooth-supported tv too
for everyone else, a refresher AGAIN is that tv out uses the 3.5mm jack. if only audio is connected ON THE PHONE SIDE of the jack, only audio will be put out, so tv out won't work. I believe it's been said that's how our phone is set up currently.
Are you sure about it ? I'm going to buy one next week , any way I'll feedback
I don't think it's fake, i've read about it in a serious magazine.
These cables are available at your Local Electric shop at a price of 100INR or so.
What these cable to is, port over your MP3 to a sound system.
Or your Video to a TV system.
And, TV-OUT technically means that it should be able to show ANY screen ( Be it games, Apps or homescreen) to you Television set.
And, It needs a kernel which supports it!
One can not just od it without drivers.
If it's so, I would not mind paying a $200
So, This is not Tv-Out, This is only Music & Video out

The unit shown in the video above is a pre-production unit. Notice how the box and packaging is not the retail packaging? Also, the accessories included are totally different. The retail version does not include a Bluetooth earpiece, and the included earphones are white, not black.
Also, the specs listed on GSM Arena are not up-to-date, and are based on pre-production specifications.
Again, the retail production version of the 7.7 does NOT include IR. Also, even if you somehow managed to get your hands on one with IR, chances are that it will not get any software updates, and you'll be left with orphaned hardware. Even if the official firmware updates are compatible with the IR 7.7, chances are that the IR functionality will be disabled anyway, so yeah...
Honestly, I find the IR to be kinda pointless anyway. There are a lot of other ways to get your tablet to do exactly the same things as having IR on it.
Mine is from Thailand and doesn't have an IR port. Silly thing is, at the mobile expo the ones on display had IR, but the ones you buy don't..Bit annoying what Samsung do with all the different versions.

It is probably as you say: they removed this connection in the production phase and was present only in the prototype.
Am I the only one that thinks that the IR is just a useless addon?
Are you that lazy to pickup the real remote controller and instead spend hours to setup your tab to control your home entertainment devices with your tab?
If you have so many devices why not buy a Logitech remote? But just whine here missing the IR port...

Certainly I'm not crying for lack of irda port.....
I purchased mine from Dubai a couple of weeks ago. Only model available was 3g 16Gb, no IR.
There was a commercial Samsung booth in the mall displaying a 7.7 with IR.
The lady told me this specific model was not available for sale and did not know if this model would ever been sold.

Right! I use often the Galaxy Remote App on my Tab7 and Note but with the wifi connection under Network. It is very usefull for the internet navigation on my Samsung LCD TV!

Yes, wifi on both TV and sound system makes this IR thing kind of useless.
It could be useful if you wanted to transfer a picture or something to another user's unit and if they only both have wifi version, not currently near wifi hotspot, and therefore cannot e-mail.

As we have passed the 2000 era more than 10 years, bluetooth is pretty the standard in all devices as like a color screen.
Bluetooth, no need to aim your device to each other, faster data transfer and more stable.
But being faster it still takes "time" to beam over a high resolution picture.
If the target device only has irda (and probably a COM port) maybe it's time to dump that outdated piece of technology.
The more tech bits, the more to play around with, so I would of quite liked to of had the IR. Not for file transfer though lol. Don't think it was intended for that purpose this time around. Just for remote features.

Never mind Bluetooth, if both devices are Samsung, have you ever tried WiFi Direct? Holy $H!7!! I've used it between my GS2 and my Note, and it's ridiculously fast!
Besides, the IR blaster (assuming it's the same as on the 7 Plus) isn't capable of data transfer anyway; it's just a 1-way transmitter like on any remote control.
my opinion, to control TV, home theater, hi fi, home automation system, directly from the tablet without having to use other remotes would be a good thing.

You can already do this, and without IR as well. Have a look here.
HI
I recently got a galaxy note 10.1 wifi model and wanted to mirror the screen on my lg smart tv. I understand that both these devices are capable of mirroring but they don't seem to play nice together I contacted samsung customer support and they said look for a 3rd party app that might do it.
I have been doing exactly that since but all i can seem to find are apps that allow file sharing not live mirroring of the note 10.1's screen onto the tv. I understand that samsung have some sort of dongle that might allow it to work but i would prefer not to fork out another $100 for something that seems like it should just work without it. I would prefer to simply use an app that would allow me to connect it via the wifi. Does anyone know of such an app?
Thanks
Allshare Cast dongle or hub is the only way to mirror afaik. I think some newer Samsung tv's might have Allshare built in but not sure about other brands.
Dongle:
samsung.com/se/consumer/mobil/mobil/mobiltillbehor/EAD-T10EDEGSTD?subsubtype=multimedia-and-general
Damn was hoping not to have to buy one of those. I thought with Alshare, dlna and WiFi direct a least one option would just do it. The tv has all those options except allshare it has LG smartshare I believe instead.
Is the Samsung dongle the only one that will work Belkin and HTC make one as well don't they?
I got samsung smart tv with all share cast too, and looking same as you for a way to mirror my screen to it through wifi... its not possible only images and video no screen mirror.
So I guess the the dongle is a must....

I thought that should work due to the tv and the tablet being the same brand and both having allshare cast. My problem is that my tv is an lg tv and the tablet is samsung

Unfortunately Sammy TVs right now do have ONLY AllShare PLAY not AllShare CAST !
Hope AllShare CAST will be added with the Smart Evolution Kit for Sammy TV by March 2013 though.
Right now no mirroring w/o Dongle ..........
One more question about screen mirroring and the need for allshare cast dongle. What exactly does the dongle do that can, t be done with an app? As I understand it with what little knowledge I have is that allshare is based on miracast and so is the dongle, LG's smartshare is based on the same they just both have their own skins overlaid onto miscast technology so you have to go out and spend more money on their hardware to make everything work? What I am wondering is why can't a general app be made that just does the screen mirroring o onto tv's if Both devices are miracast capable, dlna capable and wifidirect capable surely one of these options should allow screen mirroring on a tv without the need for a dongle That costs another $100 or so to purchase on top of the tablet just to get this function. I hope this all makes sense, if someone could explain all this so the dummies like me could understand it that would be awesome. Oh and there seems to be many options for screen mirroring with your pc why is this different?
Thanks

The only way i know of, if you have a capable android phone that you already have hdmi connection to tv, is to use mirrorop sender/reciver app, two apps, one on the note one on the phone, allows you to mirror one android to another vice versa. Ive not managed to get a working mhl/hdmi for my s3, so i dont know if there is a limitation to then hook up the phone via hdmi to tv, wouldnt mind a confirmation on that one my self
Pro
Ive mirrored my note to my s3, anything static it does ok, pics, browsr, pdf, slow/static games
5 minute trial, restart app to reset
Cons
Doesnt transmit sound [i guess the dongle trumps that]
Fast paced games have lag, specifically game controls
Picture quality options at the sake of speed
5 minute trial, restart app to reset

Ive heard of raspber pi project on this, but last time i checked it was for a nexus line and you needed custom firmware

Yeah I looked into Mirrorop but seen as I only want to mirror my galaxy note 10.1 onto a tv it's of no use to me. Funny thing is, is that the LG smart tv I have used to come with a mirror op receiver app p re installed but for some reason it was removed from the model in all countries except China. Sounds like money grabbing on LG's part if you ask me.

One suggestion if you decide to grab the Sammy dongle: register your note on the Samsung web page and you'll get a $50 coupon for the Samsung store. That's how I got mine. Cutting the price in half makes it a little easier to swallow and it does work well certainly glad I got mine.

That sounds alright just one thing is that valid for Australian customers? Also does anyone no which Aussie stores stock them? I went onto Samsung's au website and it seems to be greyed out so I don't no were they are stocked .
online I guess any one know who has the best price?
I've a further related noob question. I have owned my Note 10.1 for 4 days now and have found it great, but I would love to be able to mirror it's display. I actually want to project it (I'm a teacher), but have found a workaround with an iPad where I mirror the iPad to my laptop and display the laptop as normal. Is anything like this possible with the Note?

Hi, I am a teacher as well and am using the Note 10.1 in my classrooms.
I use the Allshare Cast dongle, connected to a HDMI-VGA converter, to the projector. Don't use the converters that don't have a separate power supply; the display will cut in and out because the dongle cannot supply enough current.
Alternatively, you can try using the Netgear push2tv device. The recent beta update enables compatibility with Allshare devices.
If you have rooted your Note 10.1, you need to triangle away to clear the flash counter.

Thanks for your reply. Do you happen to know if there are more than model of Allshare Cast? Prices seem very variable - Amazon go from £30 to £107! I haven't rooted my Note - I'm not really sure what the benefit is - although I seem to have read that it may allow me to access my email through the school proxy, which I can't do at the moment. Can you recommend a HDMI-VGA converter that works?
Do you guys get sound when you conect using the mirror cast not using the dongle I get picture and no sound
I bought new Samsung TV series 6, and it have bulid in Screen Mirroring but in menu options on my Note 10'1 from 2012 i dont have this options.
There is some one hack or addons to my tablet to get this options?
Hey guys,
I'm looking at getting my first android stick pc.
I basically want to use it to browse the net, stream movies and episodes off my network (wifi),
I've looked at the MK809III and the CX919.
Is there any preference from these 2, or something better in this price range.
I need pretty decent WiFi strength as my router is a fair way away.
Any advice would be great.
The CX 919 has great reviews and it has also a WiFi antenna

Can somebody help me choose, stick with ethernet (not wi-fi / under 100$)?
it depends

hi waxtah,
if you tell me how you're going to mosty use the stick I can suggest you some of those.
eg, do you plan to use it mostly for media purpose?
do you plan to make a mini-server out of it?
this has ethernet built in (can't paste url right now, see pm)
also you pretty much can add an ethernet port to any stick which has usb support by using an usb-to-ethernet adapter,
I've used some of these and they work just well,
I'm using a CX-919 with an usb-to-ethernet adapter, basically I've made a full blown media/torrent server
jynjbox
i like my jynxbox android tv
The CX919 looks good so far. Has anyone compared the WiFi on this to the Tronsmart MK908? If it is similar then i may get that one as there seems to be more support/software available for it.
Also, with all the air mouse/remotes available, is there a decent recommended one that people commonly use? Not a super expensive one, but not a cheap nasty one either. I dont know if i want a keyboard one or not yet so if you could recommend a good one with and without keyboard, that would be great.
Thanks

basically i want watch movies. and maybe play games. I'm afraid wifi can not be stable for movies. Jesurun looks perfect and price very good. I think it good choice for me. Thank you.
I just got my cx919 yesterday. Fired it up and it was extremely fast. Tried netflix and dlna and playing xvid, mkv, off USB thumb drive . All played well with no hiccups. The only thing I did not care for was the stock ROM. So flashed bobs Finless JB 4.2...Was a bit of a pain to install drivers. BUT got it done and now rooted and no issues with apps from playstore. Have had no issues with wireless. I am going to refresh however as with Finless rom. You get choices on how large you want the partition for apps to be. I had a problem trying to choose the 4gb choice. So I got stuck with the 2gb partition. Yuck. But thats my fault. Overall this little device has handled everything well. I also got a cheap air mouse_kb to go with it. 23 bucks. Total for all was 103. Now. I made my purchase through Amazon. So to have a little peace of mind. Cost me 20 bucks more. But I felt more secure knowing I had some backup if something went wrong. That is purely my choice and opinion. Anyway I love this thing. BTW. Most games play well too. I still have to get a BT controller though. But I have not read of anyone complaining about BT on bobs ROM...at least.
