I got a regular monitor, 19" doesn't support networking or dlna..
Is there any dongle or sort of a chip that will be plugged into one of its ports (hdmi/ pal/...) and transmit the needed network so I will be able to use it for "throw"?
I prefer using few bocks for the chip instead of buying a 1500$ LAN TV
Thanks

Really... I dont understand you... Use HDMI.
Netgear Push2TV, about 50 usd
Well of course I'd prefer a wireless connection (from the same reason you don't plug a LAN cable to your laptop to get internet),
But I thought a chip like that would cost like less than 10$.. this netgear is farther than 60$ I think Ill pass..
Perhaps any other chinese-not-really-suggested versions for this? that could lower the price alibit?
You mean miracast.
Buy a miracast adapter.

If you can use cable, you maybe want MHL adapter, plugged on xperia USB, and converted to HDMI.
But, you must power up the MHL using your phone charger, and connect the MHL adapter to your HDMI.
any brand will work. I use original samsung, about 7-8$

One of the displays I need to connect with the Transformer only have dsub and dvi connections. Has anybody hooked up their tablet through an hdmi/dvi converter?
I have no hdmi cables to test out, and didn't want to spend the couple of bucks for a cable that I have no use for.
Good question. Bumping to get attention.

I haven't received mine yet, but I think a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable -> HDMI to DVI adapter -> DVI cable should work.
It works for me, at least, I'll just be leaving the DVI cable on my desk and taking the HDMI cable with me when I leave work.
I'll post my results when it arrives on monday.
Edit: May just be able to put the adapter on the monitor and skip the cable altogether.
Like I said, I'll post

I have bought a dvi to HDMI converter to try this out, but have not been near a monitor with dvi input all week. I'll update you on Monday, when I return to work.
I appreciate it guys.
=)
It will work fine, since all the signals are digital. Yes it really is that simple.
Except that I haven't seen a single mention as to whether the TF is using HDCP for it's HDMI output. If that's the case then a DVI converter will not work.

I'm pretty sure HDCP has to do with the monitor/tab not the i/o. My Dell 2407WFP is HDCP, has no HDMI (DVI/VGA only) and my TF works with it.

Well good to know someone has it working. Do you have it setup through a single cable, or through a converter?

35$ is too much though. Cheaper options on ebay i bet.
.im facing that problem now with my computer monitor. I hooked up the pad by two seperated ways-first with a dvi2hdmi adapter connected to a simple dvi cable, didnt work.second try was with a special 5 meters dvi2hdmi cable.again.didn't work. I don't know what to do? I tried it with another dvi lcd and it just saying that the monitor went to sleep mode.
Important to say that mirroring to a TV LCD or plasma works great whitout any problem.
What's the dvi problem?
i tried this with a samsung monitor. using dvi-to-hdmi-to-minihdmi adapter. i don't know if it's just 1 adapter too many, but it doesn't seem to work.
I don't need a signature.

Didn't work for me. The monitor just doesn't see the Transformer. Might be a dodgy adapter because the HDMI cable works fine.
Didn't work for me either with 3 different types of Dells at work. Just registered after lurking for weeks just to comment on this issue!
I can't post the URLs as a noob but the cable and converter are from Amazon.
I have newer Dells at home I can test with but that was not the point...
Drats!!!
Any kind of hacks to get around whatever is preventing this from happening...??
same problem here. got a dvi > hdmi adapter, connected with a 1.8 meter mini hdmi > hdmi cable to a samsung monitor..
no screen image...
connecting direct to my tv (hdmi) works fine!
edit: read some stuff on the xoom forums about a 5 volt line that's missing in the mini hdmi out... and the need for a hdmi>vga convertor in some cases.. (expensive)
Strange thing is, i connected my popcorn 110 to the monitor and it works flawlessly .. both got hdmi 1.3a ..
Probably a bit of a stretch here but if anyone can help I'm sure it's the XDA community.
I have the AllShare Cast Dongle and it works fantastic. Use it with HDMI connection regularly, also use an HDMI to VGA Adapater. I purchased an HDMI to composite adaptor but can't get that to work.
http://www.amazon.com/Sanoxy-HDMI-C...qid=1350066401&sr=1-1&keywords=hdmi+composite
I've done some searching and have found people with AppleTV and have also used the adapter with my laptop, so I know it works. The problem though is that it seems the AllShare Cast Dongle doesn't turn on when it's plugged into this device.
I can get the tablet to connect momentarily but it always disconnects and the device turns off. Anyone used something with the AllShare Cast Dongle to convert the HDMI to composite? Could you share what it is?
Any suggestions on why this setup might not be working?
Can you please confirm the model number of your allshare cast dongle?

HDMI to VGA works fine. OP states that and that the problem is using the dongle with an HDMI to composite adaptor.
What HDMI to VGA adapter are you using? I can't get mine to work, but it works fine if I plug the HDMI.directly into a TV.

allshare cast dongle
when you use the allshare cast dongle the phone gets hot??? I need to know because i want one of this dongles, because when using the mhl adapter the phone gets hot.
I wonder if the dongle need to handshake with the TV HDMI port, if you are using a VGA adapter it wont be able to do this which is why you get a picture for a moment then lose it?. The allshare case Dongle isnt meant to be used that way so I'm not too surprised it doesn't work.

I've never experienced my tab getting hot from using the allshare cast dongle.
Might be getting hot because of the power drain through the wired connector, but the allshare cast dongle uses wireless connection. If your tab/phone doesn't get hot using wifi then it won't using dongle....
Reply to Allshare Dongle & HDMI Converter
I think maybe you have got a fake hdmi converter. So i suggest you should buy a new high quality and original hdmi converter from this professional website: www.hdgenius.com

Ok so I have a Playon wireless controller for pc (I cant find any reference to this brand online) which I Bought a few years ago. It has a usb reciever and has an LED on it that indicates that it is communicating with the usb dongle and has small text under it saying RX 2.4 ghz. The problem is that I would like to connect it to my HTC desire s but I've had problems with using usb host ( an easy way to use an otg cable would be appreciated) is there a way to connect it to my desire s, as I also have several wireless ps2 controllers but I think they use the same system.
Me, too

[BUMP(i think)]
Rudolph, I have the exact same problem!
I have a Logitech Cordless Precision Controller, apparently made for the PS3, and it says it runs on 2.4ghz wireless.
If Bluetooth is on the 2.4ghz spectrum, then surely it should be able to cross-connect with a little bit of freeware.
XDA Developers should try to come up with something like this, because that would open a whole new spectum of devices that could be connected.
In any case, there should definitely be some way to connect these devices.
My controller doesn't have a usb port, but I have another older one that I got from a thrift shop that works amazing on my laptop, but when I try to plug it into my kindle through a coupler and the actual kindle cord, it doesn't give power to the controller, as its a normal usb-only controller, so it doesn't have batteries.
New Idea
So, it seems the solution may lie in the controller, maybe it would be worth getting a cheap controller somewhere and adding a battery to the circuit. That is if the phone would recognise it.

it works, you need a 5pin mhl adapter. (the one for galaxy s2)
it's pointless tho, you will get stuck at 1080p30 on full hd tvs, making it choppy for playing anything other than 30 fps videos
I've used a generic USB-HDMI cable with the Relay and it works. The Relay does NOT use Mini or Micro HDMI. It outputs HDMI over USB. This is called MHL. You can read about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link
The cable requires power to work. You must plug your charger into a passthrough port on the cable. The cable appears to have some active circuitry to get HDMI from the 4 pins of USB.

Any advice of where tu buy in UK?
Proper seller from ebay or amazon or any internet shop (bad experience with MHL cable from china, it's working somehow but discharging phone and sometimes no voice).
I've seen some Samsung cables for 99 pounds which is mad, I would like to spend about 10 or so...
Thanks

the discharging is normal. apparently, it is very intensive for the phone, so much that it discharges while charging. as for the sound, dunno, may be a defective unit.
anyway, MHL 1.0 is crap. it's like the beta version of the thing. mhl 2.0 and slimport should work as intented, but right now only S4 and nexus 4 have them
Hello guys,
My nexus 5 is not connecting with the TV via usb cable. Previously I had a phone and I use to play movies from that phone to the TV. What to do???
You need to buy a Slim Port adapter. It plugs into the HDMI port of your TV, not USB.
Edit: Or if you have a smart TV, screencast. In display settings.
Slimport? Will it work with 'LCD' cuz I don't have smart TV or HDTV??

What TV do you have? You need a HDMI on your TV
Yep it does have a HDMI port BTW its lg 42 inch
"lg 42 inch" hardly tells us anything lol..
If your TV is a 42' LCD with HDMI ports, I'm pretty sure it's a HDTV. Link to your television if you can find it? As long as there's a working HDMI connection, slimport should work.
Just pick one up from RadioShack or something. Keep the receipt. If it doesn't work just go back and tell them that and return it.
Well, I live in Pakistan and I can't find a slimport nearby me but yes I found a Mhl cable will it work?
No

MHL is for Samsung devices. Nexus uses a slimport to plug it on an HDTV and yes your TV is HDTV since it has an HDMI port
