What do you mean by you can't get it to work? You don't have video, USB or Ethernet? Or is it all of the above?

USB and HDMI work for me on Vegan 5.1.1. I have yet to try ethernet, as I just got around to loading pershoot's latest kernel. I hear it works though.

I am running the Vegan-GingerEdition [4/11].

Not to insult you, I recommend keeping the screen on, or turning off the screen timeout. USB Debugging should be on as well.

I am also having problems getting the Malata Zpad dock to work for me. I am using TnT Lite v4.4.0. I am not planning on using the HDMI connector, but would like to connect to the internet through the ethernet port and would also liike to use the USB port. When I connect an ethernet cable, the green light by the port comes on and the yellow light blinks, however, I do not see how to have the gTablet use the ethernet port. Under "Wireless and newtworks". there are no options for a network connection -- there is only Wi-Fi -- for turning on and off, Wi-Fi Connections for setting up Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings and turning on and off. How do you force the gTablet to use the ethernet port? I am able to see a Thumb drive when I plug it into the USB port on the dock through the iFileManager application. However, the USB drive does not show up as "Storage" -- this item only shows "Tablet Storage" and "SD Card" but they may be the way it is supposed to work. Any help with getting the Ethernet port to work would be appreciated.

Thanks
I was just about ready to pull the trigger on purchasing a dock. This info is great.

HDMI Mirroring

I ordered the MHL adaptor from T-Mobile's website yesterday, so I should get it today (yeah, I paid the extra $6 for overnight shipping).
Does this phone support FULL mirroring (i.e., when plugged in to TV, TV screen mirrors whatever is on the phone's screen)? I used the full HDMI app on my Evo 4G, and it was great for watching shows from HBO GO on my TV.
Has anyone tried it yet? If not, is there a review out there somewhere that specifically demonstrates this feature?
I guess I'll know tonight when I get home from work!
Thanks,
Rob
I haven't seen it specifically on this phone, but I've seen the Qualcomm MSM8660 demos showing full mirroring. We should be capable of it, but I haven't tried it out yet.
I'm surprised nobody's tried it yet!
Can you use the normal micro HDMI or do you have to buy the adapter to use HDMI? Lol kinda confused how this works with the new port? Could anyone explain? Thanks
You need to buy an adaptor. Basically, it's a dongle that plugs into the USB (charger) on the E3D. The dongle/adaptor has a HDMI port on it, along with a USB port. You plug an HDMI cable into the HDMI port, and into the TV. You plug a charger into the USB port and into the wall.
So no, the HDMI cable from the EVO 4G (I have one too) won't work.
Does that help?

Back to the issue at hand... does it do HDMI mirroring or not? I have this bad ass HDMI integration in my Prius that is preventing me from upgrading from the 4G until at least HDMI mirroring is confirmed.

According to this demo from CTIA it appears it can, but this is unfinished testing hardware/firmware so it's still not a confirmation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ynmqtopi9g
This doesn't exactly give you an answer with the level of certainty you are looking for but it's a good sign. We should see some end users with feedback on HDMI features on the production phone streaming in any time now that hopefully confirms that it can do this across any application without problems or limitations.

hey rtmeikle . I also got the mhl from tmobile. I hooked it up last night to sadly find out that hdmi mirroring is not supported at all. It was all a big hype it appears. Were you able to get it working? I'm hoping that you were so maybe its just my device....if not, then this phone is going back.
Yep, I got mine yesterday and tested it. It works fine.
You have to have the adaptor plugged in to the phone, a charger plugged to the adaptor, and the HDMI cable running from the phone to the TV.
I got full HDMI mirroring which automatically switched to landscape when I tested Netflix and HBO Go.

interesting. thanks for the quick respond. When i connect it to my hd tv all i get on the phone is a message that says *HDMI play a video or slideshow to display via hdmi* on the notifications bar. When I click that, nothing happens...

Strange. The image of my home screen just popped up on my TV; I didn't have to do anything.
I tested it on the TV in my bedroom, a 3-yr-old Samsung 42" Plasma, nothing fancy.
Maybe tonight I'll test it on my other two TVs and see if it works on all of them.
did you allow the latest OTA upgrade or did you cancel it? I allowed it as soon as I turned the phone on. I also tried it on my 58 samsung plasma hdtv. Its not that old but also not that new.
I'm going to try it tonight on my smaller 32 inch lcd hd tv to see if that makes a difference. It shouldn't though.
Not like it matters since all MHL cables are the same but here is the MHL adapter I'm using: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...4ec1-a08e-e133fa772d53&inCart=True&catCode=23

Yep, I've accepted the OTAs. And I'm using the exact same adaptor. Did you plug power into the adaptor too? I didnt' try without plugging it in, but I've heard that it needs to be plugged in to work.
Ok, i finaly got it to work. It wasn't a problem with the phone but a problem with the tv. I had to change some resolution settings on the tv and presto! Hdmi mirroring on its full glory
Now, do you know if I can pair up a bluetooth keyboard and mouse? Thats next for me.
Thanks for all the help.

This is what I am currently doing. I have hooked up the following.
Mouse: Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Keyboard: Logitech MX5500 Keyboard
The keyboard works great. I can type in the applications and setup my keys in the emulators just fine (snesoid etc)
Mouse functionality though is different then you may expect. You don't get a mouse cursor, it just "highlights" selections then you "left click" to go forward. According to my research the right mouse button is supposed to "go back" but is not working for me.
I put up a thread asking others for help with it, so if I find an answer I will let you know.
Updating you on what I found out about the mouse.
"Well it looks like the fancy mouse support with a cursor and button functionality was something that was included in CyanogenMod 6.X then removed on CyanogenMod 7.
They then added a patch for version 7. But now apparently it is being included in his latest CyanogenMod.
Regardless, it appears you need root access "
wait so how do you charge your phone if you use that hdmi adapter? anyone have a link?

the adapter has a USB plug that you use to hook up to a charger, and will charge your phone. Newer TVs are coming that will support charging over HDMI via the MHL adapter, there may be some out but I think will be a standard in 2012 TVs.

the HTC one looks lke it includes a HDMI cable, too, but you can see the usb port on each adapter for charging.

Controllers/Joypads?

OnLive recently came to Android and a number of games require a controller. I tested OnLive and it ran fine, I just need a controller.
Is there any way to use a USB/etc controller on a NT? Or like the Sixaxis or 360 controller.
Without bluetooth (which the nook tablet doesn't offer) using a wireless controller is gonna be difficult.
Maybe a wired one might work but I'm not sure if you're gonna find one that will connect to the nook tablet.
Gotta say though, I've tried some of the on live games that work without the controller and they play really well. If there IS a way to add a controller- this could really step up tablet gaming quite a bit.
How about a keyboard? Is it possible to hook up a keyboard to the NT?

Yes, technically. You need a custom rom installed though with bluetooth activated. But even then the range is very small. But ive never needed to use a keyboard from far away with my nook. Also, some work better than others. Hope this helps.
I really want to plug a keyboard to NT after I installed Quake 1,2,3. It's so smooth but I can never play it!! Like standing in front of a game shop
I thought ROM edits were locked on the NT? Or something was still locked.
But you can enable Bluetooth on the NT? I hadn't heard about that.

While there appears to be a Bluetooth capable chip in the NT, it has yet to be determined whether or not we will be able to enable it -- with or without custom kernals.
There's no way to plug something into the USB port?

if you look closely you'll notice its actually a non-standard Micro USB. 12 pins vs the normal 5 and i believe the plug is a mm or 2 longer.

A standard micro usb cord from my samsung captivate fits it as a data cable, not a full charger granted but should charge it when turned off, the 12 pin is to charge it while in use so it would work if the nook can host usb

Gingerbread has USB host mode but the ROM has to enable it. I have a mini USB to female USB coming. I will check keyboard, mouse and sixaxis support when it does.

[Q] See phone on tv + external mouse/keyboard

I was wondering how do you go around to surf the internet on your big screen tv and also use an external usb mouse/keyboard?
I would need a "Micro USB Host Mode Cable" to hook the mouse/keyboard to the phone AND I also have to use a "MHL Adapter Micro USB To HDMI Converter" to see the phone in the tv and both use the one and only usb micro from the phone... Is anyone using a usb hub with usb micro to usb micro connections? Has anyone tried to use a regular usb hub to connect more than one usb device? Do you need to be rooted to do this?
I guess one option is to find a bluetooth keyboard/mouse but that seems to be expensive...
Thanks!
I know that most people us the MHL adapter for hdmi and bluetooth for keyboard and mouse.
Is there a list anywhere as far as which bluetooth mouse/keyboard works fine? I hate to go that route since I will be using the phone this way at both home and work. I dont really want to be hauling the keyboard/mouse back and forth. At least if I could connect using the usb I could use bluetooth on one place and usb in the other....
Anyway, if you can point me out to where there is a list I will appreciate it...
I still like to hear if anyone is doing this just using usb...
Anyone knows a list of proven bluetooth keyboards/mouse?
Guess not.

I bought this keyboard and mouse and it works great. You can buy it for $44 shipped (they will accept your offer).
Multi-touch is a no go, but it is still pretty slick.

Wanting to use my phone USB tethering as a fail over

Hello Everyone,
I have my phone rooted on 47A with mobile hotspot / tethering working.
My question is has anyone found a device that goes from micro USB port on the phone to a Ethernet port and wired from the Ethernet port to a switch or router? or better yet it also has the ability to charge the phone at the same time?
What I want to do is, if my main ISP for my house goes down. I want have a Dual WAN router fail over to a connection where I plug my phone in with USB tethering and get the house internet up and running as temporary fix. I know there as Wi-Fi devices out there that will work in client mode off my phones Wi-Fi but I want to be able to hard wire everything for the best speed possible.
Thank you
I found something in the link below from HP. Not sure if it will work to charge my phone, but its the idea.

Hi!
I don't have much to suggest in this area. I do know that USB->ethernet adapters exist, and you could physically hook one up through a USB OTG adapter. I don't think it would work that simply, but who knows. I definitely doubt such a setup would charge your device.
The adapter you found sounds promising for both working and charging, since it specifically mentions Android.
Charge it up.
Use the integrated micro USB port to connect your tablet’s AC adapter and charge your tablet while you work.[1]
[1] Charging supported on Android™ tablets only.

I've tested and confirmed it works on my H933 on the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter, and the D-Link DUB-E100 rev C1 but nearly any asix (AX88772ALF on apple and ASIX AX88772B on the E100 rev C1) based network adapter should work.
Edit: Kingston sd100 laptop dock also works (hub and audio also work)
Hi, as this was a quick delivery I ordered one of these from Amazon (actually Souq here in Dubai)
"AmazonBasics USB 3.1 Type-C to Ethernet Adapter - Black" for about $10
plug it in, it just works
I dont have data on my phone and wifi at office is secured access, but with just this and an ethernet cable I am online

Good for you. I just ordered and have a VAVA VA-UC002 delivered (can't post a link yet). Unfortunately it doesn't work with my V30+, it doesn't recognize it as an interface, so I'll have to send it back.
I just ordered the one you mentioned from amazon, hopefully it will work.
Hi guys,
so how is it? I come to some information that in order for the ethernet to work with your phone you have to have the ethernet option in your phone network settings. I don't have ethernet in options anywhere on my LG V30 yet you guys write that it works. So does it work for you even though you also don't have the ethernet option in your settings? Thanks.
@tw9: not sure what settings you are talking about
Nothing in settings on mine either.
As above, just plug it in and it will work.
There's another thing I've done that 'just works' (mostly) when connected to an OTG cable. A wireless keyboard and mouse. My Logitech adapter thing, just plug it in via otg... boom, now your logitech mouse and keyboard work on your phone.
The only 'settings' that seem to effect this are having a 'midi' connection in dev options usb type. But basically you only find out if it will work by trying it. Pretty sure I didn't have to change the setting, it just recognized it and auto switched, can't remember, been awhile.
cheers
