No Driver is required
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

can u simply tel us that is it real or fake????
dont mind :- 1 tip for u alwayz try to tell simply n with short sentence so that with poor english can understand like me........
I don't know how bad google trans mangles things converting all languages, but try this:
the seller does not claim it works on i9003 unless they say "it works on i9003". I will not buy it just to see if it works when others say it won't without a modified kernel.

it has to do with it!!!!!! see if this cable works than it adds a feature to the rom indirectly through hardware part not the software part.......... it does it the other way round

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

You can play video with sound.
But, You cant play games which is seen on the TV.
And, I dont think it is worth $5!
You get it for $2 in any Indian Electrical shop.
Obviously, If you use the skills of bargaining wisely

If i were you i would go to a store where you can check and test if it really works before buying it than to buy from the internet and pay more, then realize that its functions are below your expectations.

adding android to a TV, is MK802 the only cheap solution?

well... i decided to add android to the tv in the living room so my mom can use youtube and such (old timer unti-tech mom)
the MK802 aka "android on a stick" is a cheap solution (forget 75$ more like 80~90 now days)
is it a good solution for me? or are there other options?
tv
add to a tv or computer tv ?
normal TV... 37" LG lcd
Google TV from SONY is an option. It includes a Blueray player and is connected to your existing TV set. This price is a little high at $300. But if you do not already have a Blueray player, it may be a good choice.
How did we went from 75$ to 300$
I want a cheap solution, sub 100$

For TV functions extension? It has remote control.
Fully ready to work from box
MK802 is good choice for the cheap android tv.
but i suggest to buy the remote control, like the air mouse.
also if you need better price, i find this one
http://www.mcbub.com/item/Hot-Selli...8G----WPS-HDMI--WIFI--SKYPE-----White-149323/
compare with the MK802, there is no micro sd slot in this, it's a little sucks.
PS: now most of the china seller don't have the MK802 in stock, better to confirm before you buy,GOOD LUCK!

Nice find, I paid about thirteen dollars more for the 1 gb version so that's a good price for 512 mb.

If you looking for cheapest solution:
CX-01 Mini Android PC Android TV Box Android 4.0 Cortex A5 HDMI USB 4GB
CX-01 Mini Android TV Box + Rii R900 Professional Air Mouse Presenter
But I think it's not better than Mini X and isn't cheapest in version with air mouse
You can wait for the Nexus Q, Sounds like a good choice.
The Q won't be cheap
Anyway... I'm going mk802 1gb,just find where to order it from

Wait for Chromecast or buy Justop A10

Looking to get an android based device for watching Netflix etc. and streaming from my media hub. Thought about repurposing my Galaxy S2 for this but as I can get at least £80 from mobile trade in sites I figure I'd go for this Justop A10 device: http://www.amazon.co.uk/JUSTOP-Andr...reamer/dp/B00D6LEABA/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_t_2_1QAV and keep the phone for a little longer.
However, I like the google cast functionality of the chromecast (probably work around this by using Chrome-to-phone) and the price of the chromecast. If I go for the Justop device (unless someone can recommend a better one at a better price) would it be unreasonable to expect that someday a developer will release a ROM that replicates the Chromecast? Is there anything that the Chromecast can do that these generic android sticks can't and vice versa?
Thanks,
empty

Yes. Just get the chromecast if it does what you want, because it already does it. Well, once you can buy one. Keep in mind that it requires chrome on a PC someplace to play local files.

Decided to go for the Cozyswan S400 (also known as Justop K10A) in the end as will do everything the chromecast can do and more. Also want to start developing my own ROMs for android sticks so will give me a good device to test on (similar, if not identical, hardware to a lot of the other RK3188 devices).
Will probably pick up a Chromecast to play with when they arrive in the UK too as £20-25 is too good an opportunity.

MK808B Plus Review - Quadcore & H265 for under $50

Hi all,
I'm love Kodi and am interested in running it on Android devices due to their economical price and low power requirements. I purchased the MK808B Plus from Geekbuying and thought I'd share a review of the device with you. Let me know what you all think.
It's available at hometheatrelife.com/mk808b-plus-review/
It covers benchmarks, physical and user interface reviews and lots of photos. I’ve also posted an unboxing video on my YouTube channel.
I'm pretty impressed with the MK808B Plus with its excellent media support and capability for some light gaming. It's pretty cool to have a quadcore processor and H.265 support for under $50. have a Let me know if there is anything else you would like me to test/other benchmarks below and I'll update the review on my site.
Hi Michael, I´ve been watching your reviews on your blog. I´ve you tried the Fire TV Stick? how is it compared to the MK808B Plus? aside the quality of the hardware...
I've want to get a hold of one at some point so keep posted
They arrived and Christian Troy is doing the hell of a work on it?! He has released FIRST initial CM12 and a fully working CM11!! 30 $ little beast! But.. what a support!

Hi, I currently have a MK808B Plus in the mail from China. I do have a Fire TV Stick and while I cannot directly compare I have read a lot of MK808B reviews and videos and would gladly answer any questions you have about the Fire TV Stick.
I have unfortunately found that Netflix will play only at standard definition on this device.

[Q] MX player video out functionality?

Hello. I love MX player. It supports a very wide range of file types and codecs. I have recommended this product to numerous people. For me, the premium upgrade is a bargain and I am happy to pay it.
Having said that..... there is one thing that I am struggling with. Does this player offer any type of video out capabilities?
In particular, I have a Dragon Touch A1X android tablet running 4.4 firmware. The MX player works great on this device. However, it does have a mini-HDMI port on it, and I would love to be able to cast from the tablet to my HD television set.
Can someone please educate me on what is the best way to accomplish this........ or if it is even possible at all?
Thanks in advance.

Mirroring is handled by the Android system. Casting, there's a pinned thread on this topic, you should read that.
