I am not sure if this is possible but could do with some help.
Today i bought a mhl hdmi cable form here http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/bizlink-mhl-to-hdmi-tv-out-adapter-black-p29839.htm
Thinking i could connect to my laptop which has HDMI slot so i could display my galaxy s2 screen on my laptop screen.
It now seems i could have been dreaming as i can't find anyway to do this. I am really hoping someone may know how to here.
Thats because your laptop is to display hdmi out not in, you would need some sort of input video hardware to do this on a laptop
Damn it, ok any other ways to show what is going on on my phone screen on my laptop?

Edit - Fixed the problem, sorry for the question
So I just made the switch from the Epic to the Photon. And please feel free to call me a dumb-a$$, but I am trying to connect the HD dock to my monitor. So here's the thing, I only have 1 HDMI port on the monitor, and I have this dock and my laptop to connect. I thought I could connect the laptop via VGA and the dock via HDMI, but the only way the dock shows up on the monitor is if I shut down the PC. Is there any way, to get this into a "split" screen type of thing (my guess is no), could I do it if I had a HDMI splitter (would that work?)
Sorry for being a noob...please don't hate on me...

It helps a LOT if you tell us how you fixed it. You'd be surprised how many people might want to know this same thing.

I think I was bit "overwhelmed" when I first got the phone home (there were so many fun things to play with) that my sense of logic must have gone out the window (I figured everyone was laughing at me for even posting the question). But to answer your question, the problem is that my monitor doesn't have "PIP" (pic in pic) so no real way to get both the Photon and laptop to display at the same time. But, I can use the laptop display for email, web, (laptop stuff) and the monitor for the Photon doc. What I did was I bought a HDMI splitter (it allows for 3 HD devices), then I set the monitor (in Windows) to display on both monitors separately (my stupid calibration tool was not real easy to allow this, but I finally got it to show the monitors as separate items instead of dupes). Then I just switch to the dock (on the HDMI switch), open up the laptop screen, and voila, photon on the monitor, laptop on the laptop monitor (sort of like a dual monitor). It only works when I switch to the photon dock setting (on the switch). FYI, the switch was like $15, and I spent an extra $5 and got a small, portable keyboard (and mouse) and hooked it into the dock.
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.

give up
At this point of time, I am giving up and tell my boss to buy a new tablet. This is my office one.
I have Coby Kyros - bought it for cheapness. Will try rooting that.
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
Sorry folks have posted this in the wrong place ooops
Can anyone give me a good solution for mirroring my android screen on my big screen tv? I've tried using MirrorOP and cloning my screen to a PC laptop and then plugging that in via HDMI to my big screen TV. Two problems there; one, it lags and two, it won't rotate to landscape mode.
I'm trying to play Final Fantasy III using my Kindle Fire for control and my big screen TV for display. There are DNLA solution but they won't work for games, only media.
Airplay on my appleTV with my wifes iphone 4s works exactly the way that I'm trying to duplicate with my Android.
I think you could try mhl adapter that you could buy to your device specific model if found so write in google you device model number followed by mhl adapter and see

I already have a tablet that will plug into a tv wired (ASUS Transformer). I'm going for wireless.
Hi guys,
I have limited space at my place and I really cannot have another monitor hooked to my laptop 24/7. I need a solution that I can hook up when I need to edit on premiere and that I can remove when I´m not editing. I know there is a way to do this wireslessly with android tablets but it´s super slow and useless for editing. I need to know if there is any way to use an android tablet as a second monitor via USB or HDMI.
I know there is an app for Android called DSLR controller (or something like this) that allows you to mirror Canon EOS camera on your tablet or cell phone using a usb host cable (I´ve tested this on my cell phone and it actually works). For sure there must be a way to do something similar and use a tablet as a second monitor using a usb cable. I´m going to post this on android forum and see what comes up.
cheers

I have been looking at the Habey BIS-6332B as a possible low power field computer using Android, and I am trying to find a good solution as to what to use as Monitor's (Has 2 HDMI OUT) that can be recharged easy by Solar and other means in the Boonies.
There is a Chinese outfit called Chinavasion that sells a slew of pretty cheap Android devices, and their Tablets have HDMI ports!
All the Apps I found so far are for Windows and Mac ONLY. None yet for Android-To-Android.
Curious if you found anything?
If not, any idea what area would need to be Hacked? I am not as interested in a wireless connected Monitor as I am just a better low cost TFT Screen; self powered like the Tablets. For a $65-$120 (US) Device, there has got to be a way
In my mind I picture just some Diodes that need to be reversed in the Tablet(s). Air Display in Google Play is the only one so far that looks close Win/Mac only? Any leads are welcome.
Thanks.
I'm actually searching for something like that.
I would love to output my cellphone to an old 10inch tablet.
I've been searching for tablet with video input with no luck.
Does anyone know what OTG HDMI adapter I need ot which one is correct?
I was order one before I was get the phone and now I see the plug was not compatible.
Sorry for bad english and hope you understand my question
The cable your looking for is called an mhl 3 cable but Samsung stopped supporting mhl starting with the s6 I believe. Casting is a much better option IMO anyway. The last mhl adapter I bought was for my note edge and it was around $60 for the Samsung branded version with back charge. You can pick up a chrome cast for half that and all newer smart tvs have native casting built in.
Ok thanks. But I think with chrome cast will be too much lag for playing games with phone and screen showed on tv?

With the new Chromecast and a decent router you should be good... I haven't really tried to play much but I showed off a few games that way.
thank you. I will buy chromecast and try this way. Hope my internet speed was fast enough with screen mirroring without lag.
If will my TV support screen mirroring I will try this way but its not.
What about if I try change the connector with right one? Plugin on adapter was not right, but attached was the right one.
Problem was only if Samsung was not support mhl cable anymore.
