Mirror Phone to Tablet? - Android Apps and Games

Hey,
I wasn't sure exactly where to put this so I started a thread. I'm looking for a way to mirror my phone screen to my tablet. I would like to do this through bluetooth if possible. Does anything exist? I've been looking around a few days now and couldn't find anything. My end goal would be to use my tablet as a smart dashboard in my car by mirroring my phone screen through bluetooth so I can have data,gps,music and anything else.
Thanks,

What devices do you have?

Maybe this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.springdesign.screenshare.browser.client

I tried this one, seems to only share your browser or maybe photos. Was looking for more like a screen mirroring app from phone to tablet or something.

HDMI APP for EVO (using it for games on TV)

Hello,
I was wondering if a Dev was creating or looking into making a app over the HDMI to display everyith on your phone, not just when it is in video mode.
My thought was to someday be able to connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the phone and play doom, quake w/e from my phone to the TV.
Any thoughts?

These were my exact same thoughts, lets connect my phone to my tv and and bluetooth keyboard to the phone and have a big giant screen for txt messaging hahahahahaha Would also be really cool for watching SprintTV and the web.
Was really annoyed when I found out that the HDMI out had been crippled in the EVO. I hope this won't be the case for the EPIC.
Any ways, I too hope that someone can create a work around for this.

i dont believe that this could be done with an app but maybe god maybe manufacturers maybe CYANOGEN can help...
or the alternative if google (or anyone else) gives an API to develop apps...
if there were a browser, a better player(maybe rockplayer) and docs to go, things would have been better...
I am definately willing to donate to anyone that gets this working. It would make the phone so much more effective.
I used the Samsung Vibrant video out with a simple cable from radio shack and it mirrors the whole UI. Everything you do on the phone goes onto the TV. It isn't the most beautiful picture, and there is some frame lag, but it was still really nice. It would be even better over HDMI.
Jutst checking around some different forums to see if all the EVO Hdmi threads are dead or if any work is being done on it... anybody ?????
Any one fide something jet?
Nope still looking around and nothing yet. I know there's a dev raising money for a evo that already created an app for the nexus I believe......
This is definately dissapointing I would chip in for this as I travel a lot and would be great to use with my slingmobile and watching hockey games......
DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL THAT ZIP. IT'S A LIE AND PROBABLY IS A VIRUS AND/OR MALWARE.

[Q] 3.5 mm TV out cable

Obviously I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. I'm running a custom rom, the valhalla final. I recently purchased a tv out cable from samsung. It doesn't work on any tv I have. Is it because the tv's I own are older? Or does it have something to do with my rom? If this is the case can anyone suggest a rom whrere tv out works? Please help me!!
Did you go to display settings and turn on the TV out option? If so and it still doesn't work, it may be a TV issue. I've been able to use it on all the TV's I've tried.

You need to switch the yellow (video) input with the red (audio) input when connecting to TV.

I've actually found that only applies to certain TV's for some reason. It's weird. But good point, I forgot about that.

Typically this would be reversed, meaning it would depend on the cable used. The phone sends the video signal on the same output.
I tried any color combination possible. NOthing work. My guess so far is the tv that stoned yoda was talking about. And yes, to answer your question, I chcked tv out. I get a bad picture with static and stuff. By the way, after thinking about it, the switching the cables wont work. That only applies if you don't buy the samsung cable, which I did. The samsung cable has a converter in it. Samsung switched the terminals to give you the illusion you had to buy from them. So I guess Im gonna find a newer tv and try it.....stoned yoda do you run a custom rom?
Mine work on 15 year old anolog television. How much older could your tv be?

View and control phone screen using PC via USB cable

Hey guys,
I used to stream my iphone screen to my PC and was able to control it using keyboard and mouse. Is there a similar way to do this with the skyrocket? It makes it convenient here at work. Thanks!

Try this. It is what I used when my screen was broke. Make sure you have adb running, else it will not launch. Another thing is it is not working anymore on my particular ICS Rom. Should work fine on any GB rom, though. Hope this helps!
Here is the link to the google code page for this project. I take NO credit for this helpful app whatsoever. Devs and further info can be found here- http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
Note- It is a bit slower than your probably use to, but it is the only app I could find for our device.
^^ Thanks. Testing it now.
Our new app, VMLite VNC Server, should fulfill your needs, it does exactly what you need, to control android phones or devices from a PC, so you can use the external keyboard/mouse, etc. We app has fast responses, and works on rooted or non-rooted devices.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en
so far our users like it. You can simply click a button to do USB connection:
more info here:

i use a program called MyPhoneExplorer and the corresponding Android app is in the store.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T and I also have a busted screen. I am trying to just pull my pictures off of it before my replacement arrives. I downloaded the SDK package you linked to but lack the knowledge to just get it to link to my phone via USB. To complicate matters I had it pattern locked but since I can't get the screen to work at all I can't unlock the phone. If I could my computer sees the phone as a portable device but won't show me any of it's files. Any pointers would be helpful.
Hmm
Well, I have a HDMI IN port in my rig . And with a MHL adapter, works perfectly fine on Windows 8.

I use an MHL adapter as well but will matter if the screen isn't functional? As far as I'm aware you still have to direct it via the touch screen....
yea..my bad..didn't read the question properly..

The screen is matched only by the Retina display. Best Android screen on the market. We've had 4 or 5 updates so far, including JB as one of the first non-Google companies.

I have some friends that work for the government and their in the same boat as you. They aren't even allowed to use wireless when their traveling and it's available.
Thanks for this, sounds good. Only thing left to work out is line in then i guess, if someone could test this for me it would be really helpful. Its the last piece of the puzzle i think.
One other question, i take it the only "pairing" the tablet does with the keyboard is just being plugged in? The reason i ask is that if i buy a couple of tablets and keyboards (me and the mrs) can we just swap the keyboards round without any pairing faff?

As far as I know, you can interchange the docks. There's a driver for it installed in Android from the start. There's no personalized settings or anything stored in the dock itself. Plug and Play.

If you are located outside the US in Europe this would be your answer.
If you're a US user then your stuck with the complex USB adapter scenario it seems.
perfect, that actually looks just what im after, simple easy and with cat5 in built. shame it doesnt have line in then it really would be ideal!
edit: just need to find someone that will actually supply it to me now!

[Q] Can't use IR Blaster without HTC TV app?

No IR blaster apps work to control my TV or any TV's other than the TV app which came with the phone? Is this normal and if so how can I use external apps to control my IR blaster? e.g power on or off TV
ROM: Android Revolution HD
Kernel CHECKM8
S-OFF W unlocked bootloader & TWRP
MNumber: HTC6525LVW

I've used this app Smart IR Remote on my phone to control different TV's, fans, A/C's without an issue.
Are you getting any error messages? Anything else we can use or know to help figure out your issue?

No errors & I just tried that and no luck. It's a Vizio TV which I'm testing on. I've tried on another Vizio TV and a Samsung one with no luck too. I know it works or at least worked on the Samsung TV but now it's not working at all on my Vizio TV and I doubt even the Samsung one. (havent tried samsung again yet) Also I put my S4 and M8 beside each other and tried using the same app to turn on my TV and where the M8 failed multiple times the S4 turned it on within half a second first try. I even took off my Otterbox case to try and see if it was somehow blocking it and it still wouldn't work. Could this be some sort of hardware problem or could it be software?

From what I've read, the IR port is the power button too. So make sure you are pointing that end at the tv. That Otterbox is quite bulky, so make sure the power button area flap is up while trying remotes out.
I don't think it would be a hardware issue if you are able to use the stock tv app to control the tv.
What ROM are you using?

I know and I did, still wouldn't work. I'm also having an issue getting 4G in areas where my friends can get it and their using Verizon too so maybe i have some type of firmware issue and I need to flash a stock RUU as suggested in my thread about that. I'll edit this or post again with the results whenever I try it.

Oops, I didn't see that you had a custom Rom. I'm guessing software issue now.
I'm also facing the same issue with Sprint m8, but my wife verizon m8 works with other apps too , I'm on stock ruu , not rooted, no s off , basically I'm on lollipop without any modification .
