basically that ^^ for the Streak's hdmi dock. that would be awesome and I'd gladly pay for it.
Yeah, this would be a moneymaker for someone smart.
This wouldn't be an app but a system mod. You would wasn't the hdmi to be a turn on turn off feature that worked for everything.
I have the same requirement. As there is no way I'm paying 50 quid for a **** that allows me to watch a film. I have a dvd player and a cable box that allows me to do that already.

Im running CM7 and have seen people use their HDMI outputs on their phones to plug directly into their tv and have it display what the phone sees, but cant figure out how they did it. I don't have a mini hdmi on hand and want to know for sure if it will work before buying one. Will it be a simple just plug and load up a game or emulator and it will instantly display? Or is it more complicated? Any insight would be great becasue i think this would be a great feature.
Dont trust me 100% on this but im pretty sure its should do exactly as you say, its called "mirroring" or something along those lines and i believe that besides mirroring if you wanted to do WebTop or UbunTop (kinda like a netbook) you would then need to do some mods/hacks but mirroring shouldnt take any extra mods or anything
Also just a tip - if you already have an hdmi cord and dont want to spend another 25$ for a micro hdmi to hdmi cord, most radioshacks carry a small micro hdmi to FEMALE hdmi converter for 10$, that way you could save a few bucks nd use your existing hdmi cord! Enless the converter is too bulky for what you will be using it for. I have one, works great!

Just checked, you CAN do hdmi mirroring directly with no other hassle!

How does that docking app start like here ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aimhbfUtVZI
Can you start this docking app without a docking station ? Where is it ?
Just click the Clock app in your app drawer. Job done.
thanks mate, just learned something new .
But I don't get it how is it automatically launched when inserted into a docking station ?
Why isn't this app launched when the micro usb cable is inserted ?
And why doesnt it work for my zenis dock?!
That's what I want to find out, how is it launched
It looks like with the Samsung OEM docking station this app is launched automatically, touch the docking station does not need additional power supply to do this.
worked pretty good for me
worked how exactly ... in the bathroom taking shower or how ?
please explain
The proper docks have a resister in the USB connection that triggers the docked mode.
Apps like "alarm clock Plus" have a setting to launch on standard USB connection if you don't have a dock that triggers dock mode.
There are others but I can't remember the app names.

Good explanation. Thanks.
Holy crap at the prices for the original dock though :| Even on eBay they cost an arm and a leg :s

You need a micro HDMI cable. But that is all. You don't need a dock. You can pick up Micro HDMI cables at Verizon stores, or online. Most everything will mirror, but things like HBO GO app, and Sprint TV will not.
Bought my hdmi cable off Ebay for two bucks.... But thing is in mirror its stretched and blocky..... Not expected from hdmi. Is there a fix to this?

Yes, it's upscaled from 960x540 and even with full hd upscale, it's looking bad, only fix I know, is using mirroring through webtop, it looks much better there.

Yes, I have noticed that it is a little pixelated over standard HDMI. As for being stretched, you want to check the aspect ratio that your TV is using. There should be a button that something like "pic size" or "aspect ratio". It will give you options like 16:9, 4:3, zoom, pan & scan, and maybe zoom 2 or something. Make sure that you are on 16:9.
The other thing is that although the interface looks bad, once you start playing a movie, or game, they usually look a lot better. Those run better when webtop is not running. But if you are browsing the web, or something like that, run it through webtop. You can use the webtop over HDMI hack found in development.

you could always download the "nebtop.apk" assuming u still have webtop installed. this gives way better picture! and eliminates the need of a dock

99$? its too much i think
definitely a slick dock, but I'm inclined to agree that $99 is a tad too much. but extra USB ports a wired ethernet port it is tempting.

No HDMI out?
Apart from a wired ethernet connection, I'm not really sure what the point of this dock is.
It doesn't have it's own battery. No SD, no HDMI. It'd be nice to have VGA, but it doesn't have that either. Sooooo, you get an extra USB. Nice, but USB hubs are cheap.
For $100, I'd just buy another keyboard dock and have it as a spare battery.
OP, thanks for posting. Initially, I was thinking, COOL... But after that little buzz wore off, I started questioning the practicality, and it just doesn't seem to quite make sense.
I've been looking for something exactly like this but the price is too steep IMO. :\
I've got one. Price is to steep for what it is. Should also have HDMI out.
But apart from that it does work well now that my prime has been designated an alarm clock.
I use lucid daydream non stop for the clock.
Timely for the alarm.
And I set up a tasker profile to open tune in to my local radio station a couple minutes after the alarm gets dismissed.
All of that piped to a soundbar connected via Bluetooth.
I picked up a right angle HDMI so I can plug it into the TV as well without a cable sticking way out the side. But it should have been built in.

Hello, Can anyone recommend a wireless hub/set-top box that allows the note pro 12.2 to wirelessly mirror is screen?
My father in law wants to watch movies that are on his tablet on his TV but the TV is quite cheap so I don't think it has an mcl hdmi port (unless anyone knows of a cable that works in a standard hdmi port.)
I was looking at the Samsung allshare cast hub but the reviews state that the audio is awful so it won't be a good fit for watching movies.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.

If all he wants to do is mirror his screen, a $40 Samsung MHL adapter (the larger white one) will do the job. You will see a lot of knockoffs for much less. Some work just fine, some don't work at all. The ones that do work don't always charge the battery. The one I have works great, has the Samsung logo on it, but doesn't charge the battery. The box didn't have the hologram on it and for what I paid it's not worth my time and shipping cost to return it. I have an all in one dongle on the way that costs $14.50 and should arrive by next Wednesday. Another member here suggested it and thinks it should work with all the Note and Tab Pros.
OK thanks for the info.. Do mhl adapters work on any TV with hdmi? The TV in question has hdmi but is one of those no name brands (LEGEND) .. Thanks again

I can't confirm it'll work on a Legend, but it should. My crappy clone works on a Vizio, Samsung, and an Emerson.

That's the one I use
I use the all share dongle all the time and I have never had a problem. I've watched full movies and TV from a sling box with it hooked up to a projector. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones but so far has worked with galaxy note3, tab pro 8.4 and my 12.2.
