So I've my new ZU and I find it pretty good...
And I saw the Intel compute stick and thought about using it on the phone...so my question is can we use the phone as an hdmi host.. I know it can be coupled with an hdmi TV using MHL...
Are there any possibilities to use the phone as an hdmi tv

Cmon guys....no one knows these things???
MHL to hdmi cable accessory reflects what is on the mobile phone ? via HDMI input . So, whatever is streaming on your phone ? you can watch on your HDTV . Like turning your television into the phone's monitor .

Not that buddy...I was asking if there was a way to use our phone as the host.. U know use an hdmi camera and see pics on our phone... Like in a situation when we don't have an hdmi tv.. And I want this phone to act as one...

I'm afraid Android doesn't support hdmi host mode as of now, but your idea isn't also the best because if memory serves me well, compute stick needs additional power to operate and if you plug it into a phone, you will already have the usb port used unless you use a hub. Isn't it easier to just plug it in the TV?

You can use this phone as a secondary display for your PC though, not via HDMI, but by USB Tethering.

no this thing has no video output.
BUT i almost bet there is a physical output on the board but no hdmi has been soldered to it.
Hmm, oh well, thanks for the reply. I still plan on getting this even without video output but I was just curious. Some devices have video drivers that can connect to the mini USB on board, if I remember correctly. Thanks, when I get back home, I'll "thank" you.

But the Korean version 5.0 has video output, correct??
I heard there will be a new micro USB to HDMI cable release in later this year. But now still under development.
There may actually be composite TV out via the 3.5mm port. We haven't got anyone with the right cable to test though...

I've confirmed that there is no MHL (HDMI) support. Dunno about analog yet.
I'm trying to connect my phone to my laptop via hdmi but my laptop isn't detecting it.
Can you connect them like this or am I wasting my time? ,
I know my hdmi port works on my laptop.

The port on the laptop with be output only, so no it can't
It depends on your laptop ('s screen): if it supports HDMI as input too (so you can use it as display) then yes, but most laptops have only HDMI output, not input. It'll probably NOT work.
HDMI in probably only on certain workstation.
Laptop under 2000 EUR-->No way
It's a hp g60 . So don't think I can. Nice idea though :-(

As above..
Hdmi on laptops are "OUTPUTS" not inputs.
The data goes out to another screen if you plug it.

Unless your laptop is a high-end graphics workstation specifically with HDMI-in, NO it will not work. HDMI is not like USB.
Your phone is HDMI-out, your laptop is HDMI-out, of course it will not work.
Hi. When I connect the phone to TV with MHL adopter the WiFi stops working. Is anyone having the same problem?

What MHL adapters are you guys using? I bough one with it does not seem to work, I thought all MHL adapters are the same hence the name.

The most common issue people have is not supplying sufficient power to the adapter. You need to provide external power to the adapter itself. With the box type, there's generally a microusb port on the side for your phone's wall charger. Additionally, some people report the order of connection matters. Try different permutations of connecting adapter power, hdmi to TV, and the phone connection. Finally, some Samsung MHL adapters use a slightly different microusb connector. I'm not sure that even fits in other phones.
Some newer TV's have HDMI ports designated MHL that work with regular microusb to hdmi cables, no external power supply needed, because the port provides 500ma. Check the back of your TV, you might get lucky. It is usually the last HDMI port and will be labeled MHL.

Sorry for the probably dumb question, but I m completeley new on this!
I m planning to buy a mini pc cause I cant find a similarly priced tablet with decent connectivity to work on tv...
The reason I m asking is because i plan to use the mini pc as a download server too, so I need it to work even if the tv it will be attached on is closed (or just sleeping):cyclops:
Yes, if they have an external power supply. Some are powered through the USB port on the TV but that isn't advisable anyway. I have my TV on a timer and the droid running 24/7 running a slideshow and the radio so when I come home there's something pretty on the wall and some music to get me. Downloading should be fine if you have the storage space, so make sure you get a model with at least a full sized USB port. I use a mk809iv and am well pleased with the performance, for instance when streaming live TV over Wi-Fi.

I have an atrix dock from Motorola. Been using it for a raspberry pi project but since it runs HDMI and keyboard through two separate connections I think it'd be a great match for the tablet!
Anyone tried it? I'll be ordering an HDMI adapter next week to try it myself.

bought a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter!
aaaand it works!!!!
I tried using my micro USB extension cable and not surprisingly it charged the tablet but didn't hand over any keyboard or trackpad input. Any suggested usb OTG cables out there? I have never bought one before but I basically need one that is male and female micro usb.
I plan to make some kind of addon case to the dock so that the loose cables sit snug and wont unplug. It would also be awesome if there was some way to make it dual screen or "extended desktop" so that the tablet could be functional instead of just docked.
PLEASE let me know of any tips or suggestions as i'm flying blind in the world of OTG cables!
Thanks
Because I'm picking up a charge when I use a simple microusb I'm unsure which of these two I should get

Hmmm never thought about thus and I have one. So your not getting any response to keyboard or pad or did you fix that already.
Not yet! I think with an otg cable I can get it working, but I don't know which ones work on the tablet. Any pointers?

Were you able to get the trackpad and keyboard working
Bought this otg cable in hopes that the keyboard could get picked up but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a confirmed otg cable that works on the shield?

Idk but I just want to be able to control the shield with the trackpad+ *POSSIBLE USB ON THE GO (OTG) FIX*
Power off your shield, plug in USB OTG cable with a flash drive in it. Power on the shield. Once booted, pull flash drive and use whatever OTG compatible device you wish (mouse, keyboard, micro missile launcher--thanks ThinkGeek!))
ONE CONDITION! This method BREAKS CHARGING UNTIL NEXT REBOOT! (thanks nvidia!)
followed the debloating tutorial posted in the general section and it works like a charm! i'll follow up with photos but I am typing this on my atrix keyboard!

It would be extremely cool if you could make a tutorial video omsure lots of people would benefit
I'll tinker more this weekend and put together a full write up but in summary I got the screen and keyboard running but it will not charge through otg at the same time. Just using a standard otg with an adapter on the regular USB end to make it a micro and another adapter on my micro HDMI cable to fit the mini HDMI on the tablet.

Hey @etruj,
I have shield tablet and atrix lapdock as well. for your OTG workaround, i have one suggestion.
From the picture you post, it looks like you are still on KitKat. I had the same issue in the beginning; hdmi works perfect but usb only charges the tablet.
After Nvidia released the Lolipop, the OTG issue has been solved automatically. It was just plug and play, and after 5.0, i didnt have any problems using my tablet with full compatibility (keyboard, touch pad and hdmi)
Maybe asking for too much: only missing thing is two finger scroll on the touch pad LOL
--
Long story short, updating to Lollipop will just make it work without any workaround!

Search this (accessories) forum for "otg cable" or something, there are confirmed working cables and as you found out not all OTG cables will work. Make sure you get an OTG that is confirmed to allow charging as well since this also does.t work with all OTG cables.
