Hey Guys, i was planning on buying the old Dell Venue 7. Does it really have miracast support/anything to display to tv? Somewhere said it uses netgear push2tv adapter..but i'm not sure.

I bought a EZCast dongle, streaming of movies are quite well, but I didn't like EZMirror, it's laggy for HD Games etc..

Heres what I'm mostly confused about... When playing a video, I have a tab as I'm sure the rest of you do as well, that says HDMI. what does that mean? is there a cable that is sold to where I can hook up my phone to my tv and stream videos?
Go to the Dell website and your question will be answered. A Google search on Streak HDMI, would have gave you the answer, or search on XDA would have told you.
You need a hdmi converter to output hd video to you flat tv or pc screen,that converter is not included when you bought your phone,so you need to pay some extra money to get one.

Does this HDMI, just output the screen? Or is it just video?

Yeah I was wondering too what this thing was
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.
Hey everybody. I just ordered a Touch pad and am excited to hear about some of the adjustments you guys have made here to increase speed and overall functionality of the tablet.
In looking at the spec sheet it appears that there are no card slots so I can't use a micro SD or an SD card. I also don't see an HDMI out so I guess that I can't hook up the tablet to my TV can I?
Thanks!
No, unfortunately you are stuck with only using the internal storage. As far as I know, the only way to connect your table to a tv would be through DLNA, but not all televisions support it.
Thanks, I'll have to try DLNA. I might even look into Google TV. I believe that's what it's called.
I've been able to play video and audio from my home server on the Touchpad, but am not sure a DLNA capable TV would "see" the touchpad and any content on it. Anyone have a DLNA capable TV to test?

Well, technically you still get 50GB with Box.net with your HP TouchPad.
It works. I downloaded allshare player from the market and launched it. Now when i check dlna devices on my tv, cm tenderloin showed up and was able to play music and vids.

If you really need external storage there is always this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433667.
Thanks everyone. I can't wait till Friday when this Touch pad arrives. I'm selling my ipad 2 and I'm sending my Transformer Prime in RMA as soon as my TP gets here.
Yes, my wife calls me an Electronic Slut! But it's what I do. I'm really excited about Web OS! Especially now that it is open sourced!
Thanks again!
I saw this video today and wondering that device can work on other brand like moto.
I have a TV without DLNA therefore i m looking for a device like that.
Supposely DLNA is not only for HTC, it's a wifi technology.
or maybe it's a android function?
anyway if anyone understand how that work please answer me. thx:good:
Hi I intend to get one of the M5 Pr's but I have one question before doing that.
I come from a NVidia Shield K1 and so I'm used to have the Tab connected via HDMI for watching vids in Hotels.
So is it possible to use an USB-C -> HDMI adapter with the M5 Pro?
Thanks in advance.

Can you please post the used Adapter for it, if it works. I tried at the office with an LG 21:9 Display and am not sure, whether the resolution was too much, whether the adapter did not work, or whether it is not supported

I found an article on notebookcheck.com. They tested the normal M5 Pad and found that HDMI is not possible.
What was your outcome with the Pro Model?

Tried yesterday with USB-2-HDMI Adapter. Notebook is working. Huawei M5 8.4 is not giving any signal.
There is this line in the Vendor build.prop file:
ro.hdmi.service=false
Might be worth experimenting with.

thanks for your answer, but this would not help since amazon is not working with chromecast in offline mode. But it is similar to the answer someone gave on Android-Hilfe.de
Reading in other Huawei sections, seems no others support mhl or slimport. So I don't think it's capable of video output.
So what would be the options for outputting video to a TV screen? I've always used a micro HDMI cable on my current (old!) Tesco Hudl2 tablet, but if cabled connections aren't available, what is the wireless format to use? Miracast or Chromecast don't seem to support all video formats and I'm not sure the quality would be as good as HDMI cable.

I think Miracast (not sure if supported on M5) always work because it is mirror what is on the device screen to the big screen? But it drains your battery fast because the screen must be on at the same time.

Thank you. I've checked, and the M5 does support Miracast (Wifi Direct). I've been trying to test the quality of Miracast using my current phone (S7 Edge) and various receivers, and from what I've seen so far, it doesn't look good enough to play locally stored movies at 1080p or 720p without lag / stuttering.
Chromecast might be an alternative as this sends the compressed file data and not the screen, but as far as I can see this supports only limited container types and codecs. Most of my movie files are MKV, which isn't supported, and some have dolby audio which again isn't supported.
Disappointing, as a quality video out is the only thing missing from the M5 for my current use.
I just bought a Chromecast and I am thinking of returning it ...
I can mirror my desktop mode from the m5 Pro via "Connect" in winodws 10 to my computer but not to my Chromecast ...
what the f.....?? -.-

Return it, Miracast (M5, Windows) is not Chromecast (Google). If you want to cast it to a TV, you need something like this.

Already did so....
are you positive this definetly works?
DONT!!! Buy from good companies. Wifi problems, no android 10, no dark mode, no headphone jack ....
Hi guys -- I tired with the m5 version -- doesn't work! I personally have a Matebook x pro and a mate 20 --both worked on a projection! -- So lets hope the put in an update soon ?
