Hey I'm just wondering if it is possible in anyway to turn my phone into a monitor for my raspberry pi? Is there like an app that let's me plug it in thru the hdmi but instead of being an output on the phone have it be a input like a typical monitor?

While I don't know this for certain, I believe HDMI is not bi-directional connections for video. Meaning, the RazrHD hdmi port outputs video only.
Can I use teamview or anything similar to remotely control?

OK, I have no idea what I'm missing here. When I plug the HDMI cable into the phone, nothing happens. TV stays black and I get no prompt on the phone. What am I missing here? The cable is brand new, Andy phone is not rooted. I'm running go launcher and go locker. Any help?

Is it a motorola hdmi cable?
No, it's a rocketfish. I wondered I ft that would matter. Are HDMI cables not standardized yet?

Recently I order a brand new MediaBridge HDMI cable from Amazon from a friend for use in India in a sealed box & it did not work when I attached it to the phone & my Dell laptop. What could be the reason? Is there any symbol supposed to pop up on the phone or the laptop & on hindsight I just got thinking (gave the cable back now) in case if no symbol is supposed to pop up would directly playing a video on the phone while the hdmi cable is attached make it play on the laptop??
Don't want to be a smartass or anything but I hope you're selecting HDMI as the Source on your TV.
As I mentioned I tried on my Dell laptop running Win 7....is there anything specific I needed to do besides just connecting either ends between the phone & the laptop to get the HDMI working?

I'm sure it the HDMI Micro to HDMI connection from phome to laptop will not work. Laptop HDMI should only be an output, not an input. It will work from phone to a monitor or tv. Once connected you will be prompted to make a choice on the A2 for a display mode.
I bought a Dynex cable from BB that works fine with the Atrix 2 when connected to a monitor or tv.

Thanks. Yes you are right it is a micro hdmi (phone) to regular HDMI port on the Laptop. DAYMN..they should specify to unsuspecting users like me. IMHO many people would not be aware about this.
anyone could tell me if the usb On The Go works on the Razr Maxx an the Razr Maxx HD i have a Maxx and usb otg but since didn't reconize a galaxy S2 i think is broken. I want to buy the Razr Maxx HD but i need usb OTG.
USB OTG works for me. Have used a keyboard and a thumb drive with no issues.

Please tell me if you used a otg cable or the dock.
I use a otg cable, works fine, even used an unpowered USB hub without issue.

I have a Droid Razr Maxx HD and just ordered a USB OTG cable. Do I need to root the phone in order to read an SD card (formatted for use in a camera)?
OTG wroks perfect in my Razr HD. I tested with keyboard, mouse, and flash drive.
But I could not configure a controller, I've tried generic gamepad, and the PS3 original controller (Dualshock 3).
I've heard, that the Xbox controller should works fine... Any one have a Xbox controller and a Razr HD to test?

I'll get a USB OTG and try with my hardwired Xbox controller. Any suggestions on a good OTG cable?
Can you charge the Razr HD while it is in OTG mode, using an OTG Y Cable?
I recently picked up a ps3 dual shock and an HDMI cable for my HOXL. This pretty much turns my phone into a tiny game console. I'm wondering if it would be possible to charge and use HDMI simultaneously, via a splitter. That would be awesome, not only for gaming, but for movie rentals and netflix.

As far as I know you can, you can't use USB devices and HDMI though. Look on eBay for a MHL HDMI adaptor.. should be a dongle type thing that has HDMI on one end, a plug for your charger, and then the connection into the phone.
Will do. Thanks for the response.

I want to be able to watch Netflix on my Moto G on the tv via HDMI but I'm not sure what cable I need.
I bought a micro HDMI to HDMI cable but that doesn't appear to fit.
I've had a look at Micro USB to HDMI cables but they all seem to say theyre for other devices like the Samsung Galaxies.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Moto G has no video output via cable. You can use DLNA or Miracast to wirelessly stream your media to your TV. If your TV does not support this, there are options like Chromecast(only works with some apps yet) or any Miracast HDMI dongle, that actually streams the screen and audio of your phone to your TV. I hope this helps, good luck.
I have tried Miracast to my LG Smart TV, utilising the hack on 4.3......
although it attempts connection, which shows via pop-up on the TV, it does not connect at least not for me.....
I will try again after I upgrade to KK....
apparently the screen cast option is available natively.

Hello,
I have a few of these awesome phone lying around. They have an HD camera and a microHDMI out. Does anyone know how to stream the camera live to a linux laptop? I don't want to use an app and stream via WiFi. I want to wire the phone directly to the laptop and use it like a webcam.
Thanks!
