FIRSTLY SORRY IF THAT WAS ALREADY VIEW IT
But my keyboard is dead i thinking about buying a new one
so "logitech k400" will full work with Xperia s via OTG
Thanks
i read on amazon that it works with a sony tablet so it should work also with our xperia s usb otg FTW
i've been looking for something similar, but thinking maybe something a bit more portable that i could carry in my bag.
maybe this?

Hi guys,
1) I bought Nokia USB OTG HOST cable like this, and it works very well
2) I also bought Samsung Galaxy S2 HDMI adapter like this,
to try on Sony Tablet S.
Unfortunatelly (as I thought) - its not working.
So anyone who thinks about buying one - don't buy it(for now).
Maybe someone knows if other adapter would work?
Maybe HDMI support via microUSB port could be added
in software, of course after we will get root?

I too would also like to know if this would be possible. If i root my Sony S tablet would that help,or there is a custom rom i could flash to my Sony Tablet to enable the use of a micro usb-to-HDMI cable for video/audio output to my 42"LCD TV. I only ask bcuz none of my TV's are wifi/DLNA capable & Id like to use the Sony tablet for streaming Netflix to my TV's. I recently upgraded to the Epic 4G Touch/Galaxy S II & i would rather use my tablet for streaming than my Galaxy S II. Thanks for any info
It would be pretty cool to play a nice graphics game on the Tablet S with it displaying on the 42 monitor!

I think tablet will not give hd resolusion from netflix. I think it will be the same as on galaxy s ii.

Folks, this tablet does not have HDMI out. Even when it's possible to root it, that won't help.

Galaxy S2 doesnt have HDMI out, and work with adapter. How can you be so sure that its not possible?
Hi Condi,
While the Galaxy S2 doesn't have an HDMI socket like you'd have on your TV, it does have the electonics required to do HDMI over microUSB. Unfortunately the Sony doesn't have this because Sony decided to use DLNA instead, mainly because their TV's have this functionality.
I did quite a bit of research on this subject before buying this tablet and confirmed it with Sony UK.
Sadly it's pretty typical of Sony to build their gadgets to work best with their own devices. Another example of this practice is the proprietory power connector that means you have to use their £30 power adaptor, which is pretty pricey for a mobile power adaptor if you ask me. It also means there is currently no car charger for it, which is extremely annoying too.

Graffy,
I purchased th Logitexh K400 for my sony tablet after looking at your post. However, the micro USB to USB converter I have failed to recognize the keyboard. I wanted to check if I am not doing anything wrong before purchasing another converter. Can you pls post the steps you performed for connecting your K400 to your sony tablet s?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Sorry I did not see your questions ..
Step 1
- Connect the mini USB to USB adapter (mine is the one I use with my Samsung Galaxy Note.
Step 2
- Connect the mini USB adapter supplied with the K400 Keyboard
That, for me it works immediately without something else. My tablet is root.

Thank you - Brilliant!
I had this keyboard, then the Sony tablet, then I bought the special connector - and although I tried several times - it wouldnt work for me. I copied the steps in the order according to your video, and it is working perfectly. Thank you! (I joined this forum just to post this thank you message.)
I'm typing this reply from that keyboard right now, that I became aware and purcashed soley because of this thread. I wish companies would pay a royalty to users who got out of their way to show off a good product.
Hi there,
i would like to buy wireless keyboard for my Galaxy tab 7 2 and trying to find the best solution/keyboard. I want to use it for my Samsung Smart TV too. I saw many good review for Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 but finding if there is some other options thank this one.
By the way, is Galaxy tab 7 able to use wireless keyboard with BT or I need to use USB dongle and OTG cable ?
Thank you for you answers

If keyboard is bluetooth then will work with tab 2 without otg but u knw there are bluetooth keyboards that u must put a usb into ur device so that they work wirelessly
That needs otg abt the smart tv idk as I dont have one
I have 3 USB ports on my TV, so there wont be problem with it, i just needed to know if tab 2 supports BT keyboards
Of course
ok, and can somebody recommend me something better than Logitech K400
I tried the k400. I took it back. You need OTG cable to use K400 with our tabs.
I use Rii RT-UMK-100-BT. Its like a mini K400. I like it a lot.

I bought the Play Station 3 Keyboard (Bluetooth) - it works. I bought it for only 10 € (last one in the shop )
Only Problem - No German Layout possible without an app using "External Keyboard Helper" will fix it.
I´m on Galaxy Tab 2.7 CM 10.1.1 ; same problem on a P5110 Stock (no root).
Any ideas how to get it work without an app (German QWERTZ) ?
something in the build.prop?
Changing ro.product.locale.language=en and ro.product.locale.region=US to ro.product.locale.language=de and ro.product.locale.region=DE ?

No it depends on the rom you are using because the languages are in the csc folder and I am BUMPING THIS THREAD
Im using a Bluetooth Keyboard from ANKER.
Perfect layout, quite small, fast connected almost perfect!
ANKER Keyboard
I love it and use it to write a book
OK, it's an old topic, but anyway... Microsoft Wedge BT keyboard works perfectly for me. The only thing I don't like about it is the protruding part at the bottom (where the battery compartment is) -- I would prefer a flat design. But functionally, it's a great keyboard.

Those are NOT bluetooth keyboards -- they use proprietary RF transceivers. If it really is a BT peripheral, you don't need to plug in anything extra, as long as your host is BT-capable.
Cheap option...but
I bought a "aluminum" keyboard for my Tab 2 7. In reality it was plastic with an aluminum color. It fits the tab as a case and is BT. It works fine and I payed all of US $15.
The down side is the keys are very small so no way for my fat fingers to touch type. If I don't look and concentrate I hit 2 keys at a time. But I have been using it for the last 9 months.
Found it on Ebay.
Hi Guys, I'm looking at buying an Xperia Z2 but I need to know if there're any desktop docking stations that have working HDMI port like the xperia p tv dock. Does anyone know of any, third party or not that has the exact same kind of layout as the P dock?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for resurrecting old thread but since no one answered then and i'm also looking for an mhl dock for my z2 and can't find it anywhere can anyone confirm if it exists nowadays?
thanks
Using Chromecast for Z2
Use the Chromecast for the casting the screen.
Xperia has the connectivity using Chromecast from 4.3.
At the lollipop Chromecasting is supported in many devieces.
Hello,
First off, I hope that this is in the correct forum. If not, I apologize in advance.
I am looking to buy an Xperia Z2 tablet today. I want to use the PS4 remote play feature, but I want to hook the tablet up to me HDTV via HDMI. I also would like to use an ethernet adapter, so I can get smoother gameplay when on a network.
Am I able to use an OTG Y cable to achieve this? I have a mini-USB to HDMI adapter and I have a USB 3.0 x 3 + Gigiabyte etherent hub. Is there anyone that has any experience with this or, perhaps, point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance for all of your help, advice and suggestions.
