htc desire to tv or a projector - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well few days back saw my friend do it on his xperia x2 (which obviously has a tv out feature) but I was wondering if any of you guys can help me do the same on desire using either wifi or thru wire or something. ...
Its possible from a laptop. Desire ---->laptop--->>projector or television. ... point is any way to do it directly or may be thru some media station or anything. ....?
Any help Would be gr8. ..
Thanks

Desire (like most android phones) doesn't support tv out. You can try a cable from another device but you will only get audio not video

blog.clove.co.uk/
Samsung galaxy has it...and probably may be some other devices too

You may use androidscreencast: http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
But you will have a very laggy presentation.
The application is really cool but the refresh rate is really low

If you have a digital TV that understands DLNA, or a set-top-box that will do DLNA with TV-out, then you can use TwonkyServer Mobile on your Desire to stream all sorts of media from the phone to the TV: photos, music, and even video. It may depend on the TV or Box understanding the actual video format and codec being used, but apart from that it should work.
If you don't have such equipment, then I'm afraid there isn't much else you can do.

There was a German dude who managed to activate usb-host and than usb2dvi.
Don't know if that will do the trick but sounds like a nice project.

The German dude thing sounds cool any details on tht. ..
Android screen cast uses a pc. ..was thinking of bypassing tht route

Talked to that guy personally said it ain't possible :-(

Chances are it'll never happen, it was never designed to have TV out...even the HD hasn't got TV-out

First. Do not reply to post 7 years ago, because it makes no sense.
Second, read about the devices bitrate.

[Q] Ubuntu for Android (Galaxy Nexus)

Hi,
I was wondering if it will be possible to use Ubuntu for Android with the Galaxy Nexus?
I know it has Dual-Core with more than 1GHz, more than 512 MB RAM and more than 2GB storage space.
But what about
- Video acceleration: shared kernel driver with associated X driver; Open GL, ES/EGL
- HDMI: video out with secondary frame buffer device
- USB host mode
And do you think it will be possible to connect an external storage to the ubuntu system? In the end 2 GB will not be enough I guess
Thank you!
If someone "hacks" it for other phones, the GN will probably be one of the first to receive it. :-D
That's the beauty of the Nexus line.

@Valynor, what do you mean by "hacks it for other phones"? As I understand it "Ubuntu for Android" is supposed to be a free app in market that is supposed to run on as many smartphones as possible. The only problem I see with the GN is it not having an SD-Card (so it could be there is no USB-host-mode implemented for the phone) and it does not have "read" HDMI support. And I have no idea what kind of video acceleration its got.
So the question isn't weather someone can hack the app but weather it will run the Galaxy Nexus
@MS., Sorry! I am new to this forum :/ Is there a way to move the thread?

No, the "Ubuntu for Android" is not an App that you can just install. It needs to be tailored to the hardware (and software) on your device. It's more likely to come integrated with a custom ROM.
I'm confident someone will do it sooner or later, though.
Oh...turns out that was some wrong information I had there. Well thank you lots for explaining and I will be waiting for that ROM
I don't want to kill your hopes, but...
An HDMI connexion is mandatory on Ubuntu for Android.
The keyboard and mouse are used on the micro-USB USB Host and the video goes (normally) through the HDMI port.
Note: There can be an HDMI output on Gnex, thanks to MHL port, but when you use the Micro USB as MHL, there is no way to make the USB port to work..
So maybe there is a solution, meaning that USB and mouse will be connected with Bluetooth, but that's not a good thing!
Believe me, all the demos are made with a Motorola Atrix and not a GNex, there is a reason ;-)
Dig up the Q.
GN will be the first receiving ubuntu. Just by downloading it on the ubuntu website.
For the USB/HDMI issue above remember that the GNex have a dock connection with one providing HDMI out, you have your usb free for a OTG cable that allow you to use mouse and/or keyboard (haven't tested but you probably can use Keyboard and Mouse at the same time with a dongle).
BTW and IMHO I'll be more looking after Ubuntu for phone than Ubuntu for Android.

It depends on what brand android stick you are using. There is an app for MK808 II and MK 808 III but I never any other app for any other Android stick. Most android sticks are controlled by wireless keyboard/mouse.

I have a different Samsung BT keyboard but the layout looks similar. There are a ton of Android shortcut keys that are very useful. Quick access to the menu and notification pull-downs in particular.

You tried it on a windows device? can you do it for me?
There's a fullsize Keyboard from Anker, with Android and Windows support. And the only one with AAA-Batteries, much superior capacity vs. the tiny internal lithiums of the others. It seems to have no internal memory to remember coupled devices, but this is maybe common for keyboards. The Note remembers the keyboard, after pressing the coupling button on the kb, hit the Note's screen once and it works, with the samsung kb driver taking over. The no fun part is, that later i have to go into device settings to reactivate Swiftkey, which could handle external kbs as well, and on other devices does.

If you prefer the logitech k810, you should get that one. It works very well. I've used it for months without any problems. Some of the earlier N10.1 2014s were defective and had problems with bluetooth keyboards in general, not the just the k810.

Has anyone else tried XBMC on their shield?

It looks awesome, and works well for me. Since this device hooks up to TVs with HDMI, I figured it would make perfect sense to run this.
Here's a screenshot of what the latest version looks like.

Since navi x stopped working now I stopped using xbmc unless someone knows how to get it working.

SO much more on XBMC that does exactly what Navi did. Search! Showbocks android app has also proven reliable.

Hi
In fact it is not a emulator.
It is a emulator frontend.
I followed this steps to make it work:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=183527
The configuration is not easy at all, but it is worth.
I did some scripts to make it possible to have ALL roms with name, genre, cover, snap.
Thanks for letting me know that there's an app call XBMC, it's really nice.
Yes, I've tried using it, works great. Now I can transform my Shield into super-awesome-media-device
was root required?

The newest version of XBMC is out, and it's called KODI now. Source: http://kodi.tv/kodi-14-0-helix-unwinds/
Just wanted to update this thread for Shield Android TV users. There is a development build specifically for the Shield console.
I cannot post links due to not having 10 posts yet, so search for "Kodi for Shield Android TV". In the Kodi shield tv wiki there is a link to the dedicated Shield TV kodi

Sense TV app

Soooo, Sense TV app is gone, and HTC is forcing us to use Peel Remote. I've tried to launch Sense TV today, and it only redirected me to Play Store and Peel app. I can't even use Sense TV to change channels anymore... But I have problems with Peel. First, I can't import anything from Sense TV, and second, even if I skip importing, app doesn't work for me. Is there any way to continue to use Sense TV app, just for changing channels (without network add-onns)?
Thank you for your answer.
I have exactly the same problem and I am pretty angry at HTC and disappointed. Can't run SenseTV, can't run PeelTV and import remotes... This is very bad move by HTC in my opinnion! There are people that have no problems with Peel, but I can't start it!!

Try to replace the version you have with the one that was installed on the device as you got it. Should work

Just download Smart IR Remote, 7 $ but it's worth it. You can make your own perfect remote, change size, shape, color, plus it supports every device with IR, not just TVs.
Can I make combos like in Sense TV? TV+AV reciever+STB?
