"Actiontec today showed off at CES 2013 its first wireless display kit called ScreenBeam. This is a Miracast-certified kit that allows for displaying a mobile device's screen on to the big screen TV.
"Actiontec say ScreenBeam is one of the the first devices approved by the Wi-Fi Alliance for their Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast program. This ensure that it's compatible with other MiraCast-enabled devices.
"Actiontec offers ScreenBeam as both a stand-alone wireless display adapter and as a kit. A stand-alone adapters works with existing Miracast-certified devices including laptops, smartphones, tablets, and devices running Android or WiDi 3.5 and higher. The kit also comes with an USB transmitter that adds MiraCast to any existing Windows 7 & 8 PCs.
"Other that that, the ScreenBeam is HDMI-certified, offer 1080P HD video and audio. The device has the range of 50 feet and doesn't require line-of-sight to work.
"The new MiraCast ScreenBeam from Actiontec is available now with the kit costing some $80."

I assume you mean by way of the USB adaptor that's part of the full kit? I doubt something that specific will work over OTG.

>I assume you mean by way of the USB adaptor that's part of the full kit? I doubt something that specific will work over OTG.
I assume N10 has the wifi hardware, and need only custom ROM to add in Mira, now that there is a certified TV end-point to test against. The USB wifi would be more for tabs like N7 w/o 5GHz wifi, which would need custom ROM/kernel for both Mira and USB wifi (dongle) support--and of course for Win boxes w/o WiDi. It'll be interesting to see how low-end laptops (read: that can't do real-time H.264 encoding) work with this unit.
Curious that N10 has no Mira, since it has the necessary wifi, and that it came out at same time as N4 which has Mira. I'm guessing N10's high res is a complication, since Mira's supported display resolution only goes up to 1920x1200 per its white paper.
http://www.wi-fi.org/register.php?file=wp_Miracast_Industry_20120919.pdf
Anyway, N10 has enough dev support here that we should find out one way or the other.
Edit: The few N4-Miracast vids I've seen have latency between 0.5 and 1s. But in the Anandtech Nvidia Shield hands-on, which does the same thing by piping PC video output to TV via Shield, lag was negligible. Shield requires a GTX 650/660M on the PC side, so may be that's the difference. With N10's res being 4x of N4, I think both lag and frame rate will be an issue, assuming that Mira works.

Hopefully Sony keeps up with Razor's future Windows 8 gaming tablet http://ces.cnet.com/8301-33374_1-57...-power-of-portable-windows-8/?tag=epicStories
I hope Sony do the below:

I wonder if Playsation Move controllers can be synced with the tablet at least for the buttons incl trigers at the back, (not the motion interface if too time consuming for them yet but technically could be possible too as we have a front facing camera already) - I hope Sony adds them soon as they are more portable controllers than the regular PS3 controller and their attachment to the tablet itself could be also easily designed at some point.
Also I wish our tablet could do remote play with PS3 as PSP or PS Vita do. Would be so cool if Sony could make it work.
This two things would help Sony Tablet S competing with razor's new Windows 8 gaming tablet:

Although you're suggestions are certainly a good idea, I don't think we'll see them come to fruition. Razer are a dedicated gaming company. They build devices and accessories for hardcore gamers. Sony, with the Tablet S line, are looking for a completely different target market.
The Tablet S is meant to a jack-of-all-trades device and although the PS Certified and the DualShock compatibility certainly improve its gaming credentials, its still (at its core) a normal Tablet and is far better geared for casual use and, critically for Sony itself, content consumption.
The Fiona has an Ivy Bridge Intel i7 which is likely to be at least quad-core, with the possibility of a discrete NVIDIA/ATI GPU, which is a far cry from the Tablet S's Tegra 2 SoC.
I'd love to see what you mention, certainly, but I don't think we should be holding our breath or anything...
I currently own a macbook pro and i am also considering buying a bluetooth keyboard for the prime. Will the apple bluetooth keyboard work with the prime? because if it does, it will serve double duty for my mac aswell as my tablet?

One of the main features of the Prime is that it's has a dock that you can purchase believe it or not. "Transforming" some would say into a netbook.

Buying a ****ty Apple bluetooth keyboard makes just about zero sense.
Just tried this with my (not so ****ty) Apple bluetooth keyboard - I can pair it but it doesn't then appear as an input device so looks like there's more to be done to make this work.
Tried it on my Galaxy Nexus and it worked fine.
As others have mentioned, the Apple BT keyboard pairs nicely with my TFP, but then ... nothing. That's as far as I got ... didn't try too hard to get it to work.
I bought an HP Touchpad BT keyboard, and it works nicely (about $30). Now I have the TFP dock and use that most of the time -- it took me a week or so, but I am now used to the keys and can type well on it (that right Shift key was tough). The shortcut keys on the dock are also quite handy. The HP TP BT keyboard does have nice big keys, however, and would be tempting if I had a ton of typing to do.
The HP BT keyboard even works well with my little LG Optimus V (running custom Gingerbread ROM) phone, when needed. I find soft keyboards (esp. on phones) to be quite annoying to type on.
Works fine for me...
try using bluekeyboard jp
Try downloading and installing bluekeyboard jp from the market others have gotten it to work with their phones and this app. It supposedly fixes the hid issue, though i thought that it was addressed in ics. Keep us posted on whether you get it to work, good luck.
I had no problems pairing and using it to type
Hello.
I was thinking of buying a tablet, but since I bought the xperia s phone, I am thinking if it is possible to use the hdmi out of the phone to a larger, portable monitor and use it as a tablet.
Do you know where i could get a lightweight monitor with capabilities of hdmi in so I can hack it into a diy "tablet".
I am considering to use the display only for output i.e no touch screen, although that would be good.
So basically you're looking for a battery powered TV with HDMI input ? something like this
Well yes,but in not that price range
I am thinking of composing one with various components from tablets, but I don't know how a tablet or laptop monitor can be connected to an hdmi adaptor and work without the use of a motherboard or a graphics card.
I don't see the point of a larger display just to connect to your phone considering that it is possible to get a 9.7" IPS screen dual core android tablet for under US$250.. Check pandawill. Look for the Amlogic -MX chipset or the rockchip RK30XX series.
Heck, they even offer ICS to boot.
I dont think you will be able to find exactly what you are looking for, I but I have an idea for you to consider. The Morotola Atrix has a LapDock accessory. This is basically an 11" screen, a usb keyboard / mouse and a huge battery all rolled into one. Someone on the forum has taken the rear apart and it is basically just a micro USB and micro HDMI cable. He plugged his Xperia in and it just worked. Phone will not charge off the battery while the HDMI is enabled, but everything else is fine.
Now, these devices retail for about £300, but recently 2 retailers in the UK have been selling them for £42 and £48, probably because the Atrix is outdated now.
I very nearly took the plunge myself, but I already have a 14" laptop and an iPad

Something to consider.
BigPhil this is exactly what I was looking for.
Since I don't want to spent much money in buying a Windows tablet now, considering the windows 8 tablet release this year, the Morotola Atrix LapDock would do the job.
Do you have any links for the £42 and £48 UK shops?
Sure, but it looks like both offers have ended.

Worth checking that site periodically
Edit: I have just checked eBay and there are loads £40-£75 on there. Good a place as any to start, perhaps pick up a case at the same time.
Umm... this one ?

How well could you fit an S into the Lapdock? Any S users have one?(Pics pls).
At that price its well worth it.

No apologies needed, that was me being forgetful as ****.
This is probably a very stupid question, so feel free to laugh. I also have no clue how to properly word this into a search, so I figured I would ask and see if anyone has run into the same issue.
I have a bluetooth OBD-II sensor for my car, and currently it works perfectly with my phone. My issue is I would also like to use my Nook color simultaneously with the adapter. First, the bluetooth range in the nook is abysmal and cant talk to the adapter from my dash. Second, it appears only one device can talk with the adapter at once.
My question is: Is there a way to tell the nook to talk to my phone for the data it needs? Kind of like piggybacking off my phone for the OBD-II data? I already use wifi-tethering and tether gps to share data and gps with my nook, so I think it would be possible.
Thanks for reading this and bearing with me
I don't know if you can piggyback, but you can log the information and copy it I think. I'm not sure though. I haven't tried it.
Yes you can transfer the the logs, it exports to different formats if I'm not mistaken
Yea I know about the exporting logs. I guess I mean to say I'd like to use both devices for real time data simultaneously (more screen real-estate to see gauges and info), but it's a crack dream at best lol.
Maybe a fancier obd-ii bluetooth thingy would allow multiple connections. But thanks for y'alls input
Maybe the creator of torque can help. Email him, ask him if it's a possibility.
Not possible. I do them same as you. Uses torque daily. It's one device or the other. Your using a Elm 327 obdII adapter. Right?

Yea http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008TL6RT0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01 is the one I got. It works marvelously for those wondering if the el cheapo's work. Would just like to use it on multiple devices at once :silly:
That is pretty sweet, I have an old serial port odb2 scanner might be time to upgrade, much easier to use a phone then a laptop and a ton of cables
Well I ended up simply mounting my nook close enough to the sensor to where the bluetooth doesn't cut out.

Since wifi tethering and gps tethering work wonders, I think I'm going to stick with this location for the nook. It's out of the way and I can still glance at the gauges whenever I need. Thanks everyone for their help and input though =D
Hi all,
Was impressed by brainwavs delta iem.they say that it requires 3.5mm jack in TRRS band. Is z ultra compatible? Please provide your inputs.
Regards
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
TRRS means tip ring ring sleve and it refers to how the 3.5mm plug is configured.

Almost all modern phones with a 3.5mm port support this configuration. No need to worry about this.
The only major difference is how this technique is being used. Apple has their system and Android has their version.
When you buy a headset choose or tell the seller what device you will be using and the headset will work fine.
For a visual guide. Apple compatible headsets has three buttons on the headsets cable when Android compatible headsets has only one button on the cable.
This image below represents the Apple version of this product. You can see three buttons: Plus, Play/paus and Minus.

Some samsung phones can take headsets with + and - buttons.
Problem is there's no definitive standard for this.

But there is. And Apple will charge phone makers an arm and a leg to use it.

Many manufactures has designed models in a range of years when they used the ctia standard. Also Sony used it in some of their early Sony devices.
Each designing their own solution they followed no standard. And many now only uses the regular omtp.
I found an old cached website describing the details
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:jCfoZjj6TqsJinoutsguide.com/HeadsetsHeadphones/samsung_moment_pinout.shtml+&cd=1&hl=sv&ct=clnk&gl=se
The old HTC hero used a 600ohm resistor, a 220 ohm resistor. This was a time when inovation happened every day.
Further down it describes:
"To detect and use an external input, the Samsung Galaxy S needs to see about 1600 ohms impedance between the microphone and ground pins. This will automatically disable the internal mic in the phone. To connect the output from a PC or other audio device into the phones mic input, you'll need to add a 1.6k ohm resistor in series. This is the same procedure that works with an iPhone."
As we know there has been tons of lawsuites and patent disputes with Apple. Finding the right document is not what I have the time for.
I can not confirm if Apple is the patent holder of ctia. Or if it is free to use. Because many devices does use ctia standard today. Perhaps under license you can use the technology?
Or there is a legacy ctia standard that Samsung uses that can handle multiple buttons but does not upset Apple for looking to similar to their solution?
