XDA To 7" Screen - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hello im not even sure if this can be done
but
I use my XDA with tomtom for satnav and i have just installed on my dash a 7.5" tft, is there anyway i can get the xda to output onto the tft?
Thanks

isnt that what yher connector on the rear of the unit, behind the battery compartment is for. Never seen it used, but I believe its for a VGA putoput

which device do you have? XDA 2 and 2i it should be able to do with optional help from the VGA backpack via video out but all other devices i dont think it can be done

thanks gaz, any idea what leads i need and where to get them from?

hard disk for xda - any ideas or experiences?

Now we all know how great this gadget is as a portable mp3 player,
Its also great for the car.... I no longer use my Cooltrax Mp3 player for long journeys... If anyone wants to try this - Maplin
www.maplin.co.uk
in the uk sells a £10 cassette adapter
http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/module.asp?CartID=030421125121999&moduleno=33816&modulecode=
That also has a handsfree mic (the mic wont work though) ... and enables you to plug the xda into your car hi-fi easily. But more importantly it has the 2.5mm headphone socket, unfortunately only a standard one, not the strange nonstandard xda version with four poles! The only downside is the usual "mobile phone noise interference" when it tries connecting to gprs while the music is playing, unless anyone knows of an easy way of shielding the cable! (get the baking foil out!)
Whats the ONLY downside of using this in the car?
Storage! With the cost of MMC cards being high, and a few games roms filling your mmc card, I started to ponder about using an external hard disk with the xda.
Obviously using a MMC>PCMCIA adapter, then plugging in a pcmcia laptop hard disk is convoluted - not to mention probably quite expensive.
Then I discovered the USB Mass Storage drivers, for pocket pc http://www.deje.gmxhome.de/download.html
which were developed for the Casio pocket Pc.... That got me thinking.... does it mean that you could install the drivers... fit the USB cradle in the car, and use some kind of usb gender changer plug to connect the xda to an external hard disk...
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...m9kdWN0X3NwZWNpZmljYXRpb25z&product_uid=35706
Wow just think, you could put all your music from your home pc in your glove compartment! and power it from the cigarrette lighter (obviously splitting the power into your xda as well) Occasionally loading it up by connecting it to your home pc!
Has anyone tried this, unfortunately I dont have a usb hard disk... :?:
obviously the xda is only usb 1.0 but presumably usb hard disks are downwardly compatibile, and the data rate required for mp3 would not be too much for the poor old version of usb to stream to the device for playback?
The xda user manual and website just says interface is USB (no version specified)
According to the Iomega website this drive does support USB 1.1
http://www.iomega-europe.com/eu/products.aspx?productId=HDD80USB20External
What are your thoughts guys?
No
Derek,
The answer is no. Enter 'slave' in the search function of this board and you will find the reason.
Sorry for the short response to your enthousiastic and long question/suggestion but the weather here is just TOO good te be inside the house.
c ya
thanks climber,
I wasnt aware of the term "slave" in relation to USB. Presumably this is just a software term with regards to the OS, or is it a more fundamental hardwired connection from the connector onto the xda data bus, that software would not be able to repurpose into being a "master device"
Derek
Make every CD as 512M Harddisk for your XDA!
Here is the solution!
http://www.pocketpcpassion.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30816
Don't think so
Well..... it depends on your requirements I guess.
Not mine!!!
Robert
Thanks for the suggestion Joey, but I have to agree with climber... whats the point of connecting a laptop to it. Sort of defeats the object of using the xda as a in car mp3 player, why not use the laptop instead!
I'd like to have a seperate removable hard disk just connected to the xda.
shame the host/slave issue cant be resolved.
What about the PCMCIA adapter method?
Ayone tried that out?
Also a no go. An MMC PCMCIA adapter uses SDIO (as do all cards which are not 'simple storage' cards). The XDA unfortunately does not support SDIO - one of those short sighted O2 thing.
I think they wanted to prevent us from sticking Bluetooth cards in and using them instead of their pricey GPRS netowork!
Shame...
I'm keeping my optimism for the future.... Keeping my chin up despite all the tales of woe...
Hopefully one day soon someone will post a solution with some new fangled device/software combination, either that or wait until 40 gig mmc cards appear...
I'm guessing at 2007, plus of course another 2 years for the cards to become affordable.
Of course by then none of us will want the xda.
:wink:
yeah same here.....
First of all, I am happy with my XDA...........now!
This might change in the future when others enter that market as well. I have worked for Compaq and my old buddies over there (now HP of cousre) snicker about the XDA.
That has two reasons:
A) they are plain jealous because the iPAQ can't yet
B) they know what is coming up next at HP
If would bet (my mom just don't allows me to :wink: ), I would put my money on HP bringing out something like that in the future. The question is when and will it do my laundry as well?
QUESTION TO DEREK: you describe the cassette thing.... what is your experience on sound quality???
You might have seen my home grown carkit and i think of using that for the speaker. http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=853

'USB on the go'
Hi,
The soon-to-come new standard called 'USB on the go' would solve your problems.. If you get for example a hd-chassis with this on built-in, you could possibly connect that chassis directly via USB to your XDA )

A lot of people like to put it in a case of some sort. Nokia E71 stuff is often a good fit, until we get more choice in dedicated things.
Other accessories like car holders and chargers are also popular.

I've got an old windows pda with infra-red, maybe I can get that hooked up somehow
The Blade has recently been hacked to enable the USB host mode of the chipset, so there are many accessories that are now possible (with the right drivers, of course).
how about an extended battery?
I want a proper dock first, what can be connected to the PC/AC supply, and makes the device into a "display" mode, landscape, news and such things, weather, and wakes you up with a special tone telling the time, weather in english, etc. Like "Good morning, [google username here]!

[Q] Media Dock mHDMI Connected to HDMI>DVI Cable = No Output on Monitor?

Really two questions:
1. Is there a way to adjust resolution or over/underscan on the HDMI output of the tablet? When I have the tablet connected to my TV, there is about 1-2" of black border around the mirrored image.
2. I am trying to output to a LCD Monitor, mHDMI>HDMI adapter to HDMI>DVI cable connected to my Monitor, but the Monitor does display any image - not even a "out of display range" error. The monitor will briefly turn on, then dispaly "no signal." Both adapter and cable work independently of each other when attached to my TV. Is this a problem with the tablet, cable configuration, or my monitor?
Is there anything I can do to check/adjust the signal out from the Tablet? I am using the OG Samsung Dock w/HDMI out. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.
[Edit] Currently running Tasks 14 Full Rom with Pershoot's latest kernel. And I have the WiFi only version.
same issue
I have a samsung galaxy 10.1 tab in the office and I am trying to do HDMI mirroring. I do not have a dock but I have HDTV Adapter. I do not have a HDMI monitor at office. So, I used a HDMI to DVI converter. When connected, nothing happens. no errors on the monitor just like you said.
So, does it require a TV/Monitor which has a HDMI input?
Or does it simply require a media dock?
[Edit] Does HDMI mirroring requires rooting?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I would assume HDMI mirroring is built-in, as they sell addons for HDMI output. Semi glad to see someone else has the problem... but now its two of us with the same problem lol. Later this week I'm going to try an ICS build, see if there is any difference.

Well, I was glad I was not the only one with this problem
I did some Googling, search Android HDMI to VGA. Should turn up some links exposing the issue. Basically, android cannot natively do VGA. Need a HDMI to VGA converter, possibly powered, but there isn't much information. Dealextreme sells one for $38... and it may not work.
Sucks, seems like a decades old standard would be something engineers would think to maintain compatibility with.

mHDMI Connected to HDMI>DVI Cable = No Output on Monitor?
I have exactly the same problem with my XOOM and my Samsung T220 DVI-D monitor
I note that noboby has actually answered the questions posed by the previous posters.
Is that because no one knows??
The HDMI and the DVI-D signals are both fully digital and according to info I read on the web are pretty compatible.
I have aslo seen implied that a 5V signal which the DVI-D requires is maybe not available on the HDMI output.
How about some of you clever tech guys on the forums letting us less well gifted folks know if this is really a no-no and maybe why this is the case.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
do you know any deals available to France ?
I'm really considering switching my HP touchpad and Galaxy Nexus for a Lapdock and upgrade the Nexus for a better phone with the proper outputs... Do you think it's worth it ?
JOSE89178 said:
I bought the Motorola Atrix Lapdock since I couldn't find any sub $100 portable HDMI displays. The only affordable displays I could find were USB only. With the Atrix Lapdock and some adapters, I was able to use it as a portable display for several devices, which is great for traveling.
It's a good idea to remove the plate on the docking area (underneath where the phone would be). It makes it easier to plug in the adapters or have to sand/shave them less. You can easily pull it off with your finger nails (the plate actually has a couple of magnets to keep it in place, and two small plastic clips).
........................................................................................................................................................
The Sony Xperia S works fine with the Lapdock, including the Keyboard, USB Ports (THE USB PORTS SUPPLY POWER FROM THE LAPDOCKS INTERNAL BATTERY SO YOU CAN DIRECTLY PLUG IN EXTRNAL HARD DRIVES, OR USB DEVICES THAT REQUIRE POWER WITHOUT THE NEED OF Y SPLITTERS AND WHAT NOT), and the touchpad works as well. Charging the phone does not work when the lid is open (Only works when the lid is closed).
Additionally, the two adapters that connect to the Lapdock had to be modified to fit. I had to shave off some excess plastic around the connector with a Dremel grinding bit.

Step 1: Shave/trim the female end of item X untill it fits the the male end of the HDMI port on the lapdock.
Step 2: Connect any end of item Y into the male end of item X (which should be connected to the lapdock).
Step 3: Connect the Standard end of the HDMI Cable into item Y (which should be connected too item X).
Step 4: Connect the Micro HDMI end into your phone's HDMI Port (Know set your phone to the side for know).
Step 5: Shave/trim the female end of item Z into it fits in to the male end of the micro USB port on the lapdock, once you confirm it fits then leave it plugged in to the lapdock, then connect the other end to your phone.
WOLA! You should know see your phone's screen or the TV Launcher App on the Motorola Lapdock! Additonaly if you are on the go you then you can buy a Universal Windsheld Mount for your phone and stick it to the back of the Lapdock and then clamp it to your phone.

The one in your link is for the N2 and S3-S4. One new feature the N3 came out with is the USB 3.0.
I'm waiting for Sammy to come out with a dedicated dock for the N3 to take advantage of the higher speeds, that is if you want to set it up as your new desktop computer with mouse/keyboard, HDMI monitor and an external HDD hooked up to it... I'll wait.
The one in the link is for the GN3 as well if you check.
I wouldn't hold my breath. Samsung doesn't seem to be in any hurry to come out with ANY accessories for the GN3, let alone a dock that is going to be pretty much the same as this one. The 3.0 usb is only faster for smaller files. There's been a couple of guys on the forums who have run some tests. I personally have found it a little faster for some things, but overall, not much. With my set up and an SSD, I'm not waiting for anything at all when I'm working on it.

It should work fine, but I don't have one so I can't test it to see. By connecting the keyboard with a mouse it automatically switches the interface to the mouse instead of the phones touch screen, so It may or may not see the touch screen feature of the monitor. I would just take it to someplace like Best Buy and test it first if I were you.

Right, it's compatible with the N3, but it doesn't mean it was made for it.
So you think the end user would benefit more (see the actual speed increase) from the 64 bit computing rather than transfer speeds increase from using the USB 3.0? I'm sure the dock station mean for a light home use (internet, documents, multimedia, etc, not sure about gaming with this setup) and not for the 3D modeling and such? I honestly can't say that I was blown away from switching to 64 bit home PC and notebook, the noticeable difference on a phone would be even less.
Thinking about it, can't even say I'd see the benefits of USB 3.0 as I don't (and won't be) copying files between the phone memory and the external storage.

Everything works perfectly. I watch full screen HD movies on my home theater system all the time. And the dock automatically switches the view on the HDMI connected peripheral to landscape. as long as you have daydream toggled off in display and desk home screen display toggled on in accessory. You should also set HDMI audio output to surround if you have a home theater system.
You don't need KMV switcher.
I get my movies from Showbox. Due to XDA policies, I can't post the apk for it here, but you can just Google it to download and install.
I am not getting 1080p
When I hook up the dock to the monitor it is giving me 1280x720. Any ideas?
Hello... I would buy this dock. But a question. Why have the note3 so a different usb-connector.. Micro-usb +??? My Orginal Samsung otg cable works. My non Samsung Orginal mhl-hdmi cable works. What or for What is this connector.. Another little help please. Cover and dock works together i read, is this right? I use Orginal Samsung s view Cover.
Gn3 has a usb3.0 connector. Standard 2.0 micro USB works fine
I'm really disappointed with the smart dock.
There is a lag of half a second between the action and the display on the TV screen, It's impossible to play any games in theses conditions.

Sounds like something wrong with your setup. There are a number of vids on YouTube showing the SmartDock in action, including one by XDA member NZTechFreak, demonstrating outstanding response - certainly no sign of "half a second" lag.

There is lag from the MHL connection to the TV. I've an aftermarket MHL to HDMI cable and Samsungs own MHL connection, both which have a lag on TV screen compared to what is actually happening on the device.
Fine for Movies and Stuff, but completely unsuitable for gaming.

See NZtechfreak's YouTube vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hy3wETf5o0 here.
He plays games with the SmartDock and his PS3 controller, so "completely unsuitable for gaming" is a bit of an exaggeration.
And nobody said there was no lag. I questioned the previous poster's "half second" lag experience. The lag through the dock is closer to a tenth of a second, as is clearly visible the clip.
If that's unacceptable to you, then your choice is clear - don't get one. And not everybody plans on gaming. For me, the ability to stream Netflix to my TV justifies the SmartDock's existence.
