can i use my android as a wireless headphone? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can i use my android as a wireless headphone?
i want to watch football at midnight
but i dont want to wake my Family Members up
so I want to play the sound of the TV in my mobile phone and mute the TV
Is there any method?
My phone is LG Optimus G Pro and my TV is LG Smart TV

This looked interestring , although it requires a laptop and a 3.5mm audio cable, probably some PC software as well:

The app it mentions is a paid one by the way.

Control your Playstation 3 with Sony Tablet S

So this was bugging me cause i really wanted to do this. And finally found a way. The only thing is you need an HDMI kinda tv. I have a Sony Bravia. So here is how you do it.
Enable HDMI control on the TV. Turn on your PS3 and check that you can use the TV remote to control the PS3.
Then go to your tablet. Download (if you dont already have) the HD Remote app. Connect it to your TV.
THATS ALL!!
Now you can control your PS3 with your Sony Tablet S.
Enjoy
Thanks for letting us know. I plan on getting the Tablet S soon, and I have a ps3, so this would be nice to use. Excited. Just out of curiosity, how do you like your Tablet S?

What can you control on the ps3?
Thanks for the find
It should be mentioned that this is only possible with the PS3 slim. There is no "CEC HDMI Control" option in my old 60GB fat version. At least I couldnt find anything. Will be glad to be proven wrong tho.
Agreed. My old ps3 gets no love...
Also not that this only works when the PS3 is connected directly through the TV.
I have my PS3 connected to through an 4x2 HDMI matrix, and the Bravia (I have an XBR9) sync does not work. I hoped it would, as I have a Sony GoogleTV bluray box connected via a denon reciever and bravia sync works with that. Go figure.
My slim works with my sony 2.1 soundbar reciever.

microUSB > USB HOST adapter [working]; microUSB > HDMI adapter [not working]

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.

Most portable Android stick that can handle local 1080p

I've looked at what's out there, although the sticks themselves look really small it appears that most of them need (obviously) external power as well as some kind of remote which I'm guessing would be bulky. Is there anything that can be controlled without a keyboard/mouse? Can it be controlled with another Android device?
Unlike most people, who seem to want to use the devices at home for Netflix/cordcutting purposes, I actually want one I could keep in my bag with some kind of storage (SD or USB) full of movies so I could watch them wherever I've got an HDMI screen.
Portability is important, but so is playback of local files. I care less about streaming. Ideally the device would support playing everything up to MKV direct blu-ray rips with subtitles (really critical that subtitles work). Are these android sticks fast enough to do that kind of thing off USB smoothly, with mxplayer or something?
I purchased Minix Neo G4. It plays everything including 1080p mkv via WiFi (150N).

This is a reason I went with the MK802IIIS....I can use my smart phone to control..
Remember that (most of) these sticks won't do (as the software can't) dts/ac3 passthrough over HDMI.
So expect to be using only 2.0 stereo over hdmi.

Are you talking about having the android stick mirror what is on your phone? I don't think so. Some phones with HDMI out can plug into the HDMI port on the TV and mirror.
When people talk about controlling the android stick with their phone, it means they can use their phone as essentially a touchscreen. The stick should be able to browse to any website that you can browse to on your phone. Unless you've got some kind of restrictions on your router. In that case if your phone is rooted, tether off your phone.
neo g4 come with a remote, that makes it more portable to me

LG G Pad 7.0 Rooted to Lineage lost miracast and cast does not work!!

Hi Everyone,
First let me say this site is awesome and I really appreciate what you all do here. I have had my LG G Pad for a while now and I always loved it. The main use was Kodi and Miracast to my 55" TV using a Microsoft wireless USB display adapter. I believe it was running Lollipop from AT&T and always worked pretty good. However, I had started to notice it lagging etc and wanted to clear off all the AT&T bloatware. I was able to get it rooted to Lineage, but in doing so, I lost the main feature I use the tablet for, Miracast. I was able to find the "cast" under the display options, but it will not detect the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter.
Does anyone know of a fix?
Thanks

Amazon Fire 8" 7th Edition connect to Smart TV

Hi,
I have an Amazon Fire 8" 7th Edition with a mini USB outlet. I want to show my Fire movies on my Samsung smart TV in Spain. I DO NOT have any internet access. My TV has HDMI inputs and (i think a USB input.
Question. How can I show my Fire tablet movies on my TV?
Amazon said their older models could cable connect but not the newer ones- which seems to be a reduction in capability.
Help appreciated
regards

You can not as the mini USB port can not serve (send) video content. The last Amazon device to support mini-HDMI output was the 2nd gen HD 7/8.9 which was discontinued in 2013.
Amazon also disabled Android's native Miracast screen mirroring on FireOS . Google Chromecast mirroring does not work well for video output even if you could get it working on FireOS which is doubtful.
Amazon would really prefer you use their Firestick which requires an internet connection.
