Do you think it could be possible to use a GN as a portable device on an Xbox.. I connected via USB and it shows as a media device on the gn but nothing on the Xbox. Xbox is supposed to recognize mtp devices..
I dl a torrent and wanted to try it.. I prob will get a mhl cable but for the moment I was just wondering
Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Same question. I wasn't able to get my XBOX to see photos or videos on my GN.
This did work on my Droid Charge.
If you download Twonky Server then you can stream over wifi as long as the Xbox and the phone are connected to your home internet it will stream over dlna I do it all the time it works great. The app is only 2.99 but you can get a trial mode to make sure it works
according to details on MTP, the xbox 360 and PS3 can both read MTP devices, but i haven't gotten either of them to read the GN. Safe to say they're not going to work.
but as angelino said, you can use streaming apps and those will work just fine.
Literally yesterday I tried an iPhone gnex and a W7 phone with an Xbox on the new dashboard and none of them worked I think it currently is a problem with the new dashboard as it only in the end recognized a standard USB stick with songs on it
Android - making grown men pee sitting down since 2.0
Hello my girlfriend has this at&t samsung galaxy s3 and she recently broke her screen. She got a new phone through an upgrade and the S3 is now a spare laying around, I don't want to buy a screen to fix it because its too much money. I have an old Atrix 2 that I have connected to my HDTV by HDMI cable and have an app installed in it called Droid Mote Server and that phone is always connected to the tv and the app is set to launch at start up and is controlled by another droid phone running droid mote client. So like that I have netflix, pandora, youtube, web browsing, and basically can run any app.
Well she asked me if I can do the same to her phone connecting it to her hdtv by an MHL adapter then run the droid mote server app to be able to control the S3 that has a broken screen by another phone running the droid mote client. She mainly wants netflix on her tv.
Can this be done with a broken screen? The phone is not rooted, it is connected to wifi at home, all the hardware buttons work. I don't think the digitizer works. So can this be done by connected the MHL adapter and maybe get a cable that I can connect a keyboard to the phone to enable usb debugging to root the phone, install and set up the droid mote server app and thats it? And what would I need to connect a keyboard to the phone?
Hallo everyone,
I'm new in this forum and I hope I am right here.
So the Fire TV is new in Germany and I preordered it.
It would be fine if I will be able to use my wireless Xbox 360 Controller with it.
I have read that it is possible to use the original wireless receiver for PC.
But what's about the remake from it (the version from China)? For PC I have to install the drivers manually.
Is it possible to use? Has somebody tried it?
For example like the "White PC USB Gaming Receiver Adapter White For Xbox 360 Wireless Controller" on amazon.com
Sorry I'm not allowed to post links.
Thanks!

Hello
Yes, i have one from ebay (chinese clone) and it works fine. Lights in the controller doesn´t light up as usually but that happens with the official receiver also.
Hey,
I'm using a knockoff chinese receiver. I got mine on amazon for about 13 USD and it works great. It can be a little tricky to configure the controls with Mupen 64 or whatever emulator you are using, and the 'x' home key always takes you back to the games section of the kftv launcher (despite having xbmc set as the launcher, for example), but it works in game just fine.
Let me know if you have any questions- I'd be happy to help.
Can you connect more than one Controller on that adapter? I read, that 4 Controller + 4 headsets are possible with this adapter (on a PC). Whould be nice for multiplayer games...
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9295 mit Tapatalk
I haven't tried headsets, but I've used at least two controllers at once, and I also understand up to 4 per receiver works (theoretically more receivers = more players, but I'm not buying another one to test that theory).
How to hook up third party controllers correctly
I was searching the web up and down in order to get my third party controller (china) to work without a solution. Actually it was easier than I thought:
- connect the dongle
- restart the Fire TV (5 sec hold of Play+Big Button)
- press X on controller
The controller doesn't stop blinking but if you are able to navigate through menus everything worked well.
I bought this receiver from amazon (www (dot) ebay (dot) com/itm/271687378076?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) and it's not working when I plug it into the Fire TV. I believe the receiver works though because when I plugged it into my mac and I was able to see all the keys responding using 360Controller.
Everybody seems to have minimal issues connecting controllers to their Fire TV. Any ideas?
(Sorry, I don't have enough posts to post links.)

I'm sorry, but it'd be tough to replicate the issue without a device to test with. That receiver looks identical to the one I purchased, but I don't know if it is actually the same on the inside.
I don't know about on OSX, but I found that I could pair the xbox controller with the receiver on my windows PC (using the generic driver). Once I had paired on Windows, I could plug the adapter into anything running android and it would work just fine.
That's the first place I would start- try pairing a controller and making it work on a machine running Windows or OSX or whatever is 'supposed' to work. That way, you can at least tell if the hardware is bad. If you are able to pair and use it on one of those machines, plug it into your Fire TV and use the same controller and see if it recognizes it.
If it works on OSX or Windows but not on the Fire TV, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe pick up a USB OTG adapter and see if you can get it running on another android system. I haven't found a phone / tablet yet that hasn't been plug and play with the adapter.
Lastly, and this is unlikely, it could be that you are running a USB hub that isn't able to provide sufficient power. If that is the case, unplug all other USB devices and test it in the port. If it works there, the hub / draw of other devices is your problem. I'd recommend getting a powered USB hub in that case.

Thanks for the suggestions but I don't think the adapter will work with the Fire TV. I'm not using a hub anywhere in the setup.
I can pair the controller to a Windows machine using the adapter and the generic driver. I'm able to see the computer register all the inputs using the joy.cpl (app?) in Windows. When I plug the adapter into the Fire TV afterwards, I still can't control anything with the controller. Does the ADB debugging switch make a difference? I have the adb over usb set to OFF.
What's an USB OTG and where can I get one? What adapter did you pick up that worked? It might be better if I just picked up the same one instead of troubleshooting this one. Open to any other ideas though.

I'm still not convinced the device is not malfunctioning. Did you actually connect and use a controller to control the PC? It could be that the device is connecting and sending some information, but the part that actually connects to the controller is broken. On Windows, you can just download the driver and install it as per these instructions: https://krisrowland.wordpress.com/2...eless-controller-adapter-in-windows-7-64-bit/
I'm pretty sure this is the controller I bought. Like I said, it looks the same as yours. I'm confident you just got a bad unit.
I had one question:
-Does the rumble function work? (The vibration)

It's been a while since I've actually used it, but if I remember right it does work if you map it properly in the emulator you are using. For example, Mupen 64 has support for rumble packs, and I'm about 80% certain it works.
hi mate did you ever get this working, i have the same issue, bought a cheap receiver from ebay. hooked it up to laptop, installed driver, worked fine. connect to fire tv, nothing!
ARGH!!!!
The cheap china clones just making problems with Android aka FireTV. That's what I heard.
But the original adapter makes me sometimes Problems too. Sometimes the Box Start in security Mode (grey written in the left corner of the screen) or had to replug them After Start to let the Box recognice the adapter again.
I bought two very great Bluetooth Controller from "mi". Really nice. Like Xbox 360 Controller. You can buy it cheap @ allbuy.com.

Hi there, I'm having the same issue here.
HARDWARE: - FireTV 2.0
- xbox 360 wireless chinadapter
- xbox 360 wireless controller
I've turned off the dev settings on my firetv, connected the 360 controller via my chinadapter to my pc to verify that it's paired and working. Plugged my adapter into my firetv. Restarted firetv. Pressed the silver X button, the blue x button, the ))) connect button... Still nothing. I've gone into the "Add a new controller" area (where it tries to establish connectivity) and tried everything I can think of. I was really excited about this and am kinda bummed. Not wanting to buy extra controllers really.
- something noone else has mentioned running into - the firetv seems to crash or reset itself when I push the ))) connect button on the chinadapter receiver. . . weird. . .

UPDATE:
I got it to interact randomly. Unfortunately it was unacceptably buggy. Crashing games, not recognizing inputs and, well, everything that might be awful about a controller. So I guess I'm looking into cheap bluetooth controllers. def not spending $50 on Amazons controller to play freaking android games lol let alone games in the amazon app store. Thanks for the thread and any advice on getting it to work properly you may have discovered.
I am having the issue of not being able to connect my 360 controller via the Chinese adapter to the fire tv....I have got it working in windows but it wont connect on the fire tv. I have disabled developer options restarted the fire tv and hit the x button to try to connect but I get nothing.
Hope this is the correct location for this thread for this, I apologize if it isn't.
I am trying to connect to an apple TV device (to display my tablet on a projector wirelessly) and all the apps I have found only allow me to show videos, pictures or music. I would like to have it mirror my screen. I tried the mirror screen button and I can't get it to recognize the apple TV device.
Is this function not available for android users (my friend with an Ipad can quickly and easily connect to it and it shows his desktop and his browser when accesses the internet) or do I need to be rooted or is there a specific app that I"ve overlooked?
Thank you so much.

I went through this path before and let me tell you...It's not worth the trouble try to mirror your phone to your Apple TV. I found a really solution is to get an Android TV box (just like your phone) and plug directly to your TV and you have Android device on your TV. The device is very compact (as small as a usb stick) but running Android 4.4 quad core and what ever you can do with your phone, you could do the same with TV box. You also could use your phone/tablet/wireless keyboard or wireless mouse to control the Android TV box. So you don't need to use your phone to stream/mirror any more because your TV is now your phone...basically...or you could download apps (many to choose from) from playstore to stream video/pictures from your phone to TV if you still wish to do so.

Thanks for the reply, however I'm not attempting to connect to my TV or my personal projector so I can't install my own device to it.
Is there a thread already discussing this out there? I couldn't find one.
Are there any other options?
Thank you
Is your Apple TV connected to your projector?

Maybe you don't understand what's Android TV box, it's exactly like your Apple TV, but it's running Android 4.4 O/S which is exactly like your cell phone and it comes in 2 different size. First size is small like Rogu or Apple TV, second size is as small as an USB stick. The biggest different is it acts just like your phone. It plugged directly to your projector. So when you turn on the TV box you will see Android on the screen with youtube, browser, Facebook, Gmail, hotmail,contacts, calendar, map, gps, google drive cloud storage etc...it can connect through your home wifi or direct ethernet. Search youtube for "Android TV box" once you have this, you will cut Netflix, Hulu plus, Amazon prime, because it will provide you with the LATEST movies/TV show in HD quality for free. So at the end you don't need your phone anymore to push content to your projector, the Android TV box can do exactly what your phone can do, but you also have option to push content from your phone to the TV box in order to display on your projector too...as a bonus. You also can use your phone/tablet to control this box if you don't want to use its remote. In short, its like you connect your phone directly to the projector but you still have your real phone to make calls.

You were right, I didn't know what an android box was. Thank you.
With that said I still don't if that will work for me. The projector is not my personal item and the apple tv is not mine either, they are used by many of us. If ipads and iphones can't connect to it then your solution (as good as it is) won't fix my problem.
Will the device connect to ipads/iphones?
