Id like to connect my Desire to my desktop-screen, because we'd like to watch soccer during work. We have plenty of computers but none can play flash content, its blocked but i dunno how they blocked it.
Is it possible to display the Desire's screen with the USB cabel on the desktop screen somehow ?
search in the market 'picme'. (I don't know what pc interface it uses, if it is flash I apologise).
I dont know what the playback framerate will be though, probably barely watchable from what experience I have had.
How about DroidVNC?

You need a rooted phone, that's the other side of the medal.
Didn't try Doid VNC yet, though.
1 month later: sorry, thx guys

Hi,
I want to view my Webcam via the internet on my HTC/Excalibur/S620 so I can mointor my dogs when I'm not there, how do I do this?
Has anyone here managed to view their webcams via their HTC ?
Hahahaha URGENT. Why are you going to kill them if they take a whiz on the couch again?
re
No I need to monitor them for Noise as the Puppy has been Barking at the other dog when we are out, So If I see any sign of trouble i can call them at home and tell them to ly down or be quite.
or are you trying to keep an eye on your gf when your out?
I know blackberrys have an app for that, but I havent seen anything for WM.
Theres free software that you can get that automatically turns on the webcam and records when it senses sound or movement.
All i want it to be able to view streaming video on my Device is there anyway of doing this?
Can the HTC somehow view pages with Flash EG Youtube?
To view pages like Youtube you can use Skyfire web Browser
Pop shot what about Orb as it can stream TV\Music\Audio maybe it can do it?
i have used it as webcam using Web Camera Plus 207
lots of softwares here

Having just got the Desire (and loving it) one thing i can't seem to find is something like the mymobiler software which i had on my HD2 (WM) which i used to find really useful.
Basically its a bit of software that lets you have full phone access on your computer screen via the USB connection.
Any body got any recommendations (sorry if its been asked b4 )
Cheers all
Try Android Screencast.
Does that need root access?
Hey Guys,
I need your help. I currently have a carputer running Windows XP in my car now with an 8" touchscreen interface. It works and does what I want it to but I'm thinking I want a cleaner solution. At first, I was thinking about loading Android onto it but then I was thinking I could probably go one step further. My EVO does everything I currently have in the car (nav, music, video, etc) and it'd be awesome to use my EVO as the CPU if I could get it working with a bigger screen. Is there some kind of device on the market that acts as a remote display/screen that allows seamless touchscreen functionality? I'm talking about mirroring the display of the EVO. Like via bluetooth or HDMI out with USB interface for the touchscreen function?? That would work so much better because all I would have to do is mount the screen and run power to it. I could completely remove all of the computer hardware saving space and points of failure. It'd be best via bluetooth that way I wouldn't even have to take it out of my pocket. If there was a way to get it to work with the HDMI port for the video/audio feed and the micro-USB port for the touchscreen interface, I could just run a dock in the car and work it that way. If anybody knows of a device or a solution that would accomplish this, PLEASE let me know! If you think you have an easier/better idea, please feel free to share that as well! Thanks!

I know there are several developers on the brink of completely unlocking the HMDI port functionality so I know it can be accomplished...but getting the touchscreen to be seamless I think would be the most challenging part...
Ok, so after changing some search terms, I was able to find something similar: Mimo USB Monitor. The entire monitor (power, video feed, and touchscreen interface) is though one USB connection. I came across this XDA thread that pretty much explains how it could possibly work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898418 Has anybody done any research on this or know anybody that has or is currently working on something like this??
Any ideas??
That wont work. The usb port does NOT do video out. Your only option for video out is the hdmi port, which as of right now, will only output video and pictures. As said above, there are dev's working on full hdmi output, but who knows when it will be available.

That monitor is a standard USB DisplayLink device. No special video out needs to be on the port, you just need a device capable of operating as a USB host with the correct drivers loaded (which are open source on normal Linux and thus should be portable to Android if someone was so inclined). Thus, any phone which could be used with a USB keyboard, mouse, thumbdrive, etc. can support that monitor.
That said, I've looked a few times and do not believe the Evo has USB-OTG support and it certainly does not have a standard host port, so we may be SOL there. N1 users can do it for sure, I'm pretty sure I've seen it used with an Ubuntu install, creating a kind of hacker's version of the Altrix around a year earlier.
Alternatively, it's not the fasted method, but there are a couple of software solutions that basically let you VNC to your EVO from the PC. androidscreencast is one (google that phrase, can't post links yet) but it seems as though it's stalled out. I think that Droid Commander (or something like that) also has a screen casting option. This way you don't have to worry about touch screen drivers etc.

I wonder how a cheap chinese tablet with a usb host would work.
I've considered just installed a cheapo tablet in my car then go out to rca's or a bluetooth transmitter. My line of thought on is most headunits/music is only stereo(2 channel), so you wouldn't lose anything there. The two big problems I forsee would be a reduction in the the output quality using 3.5 to rca and finding one with a fm radio thats worth a damn.
Well if you really wanted to go a tablet route. there is the smartq v5 you can pickup for around 250. it has full hdmi out usb host bluetooth and hardware video decoding (1080i hdmi video looks soo nice on a tv form it). You can download the android 2.2 firmware and run rocketplayer for allmost any video.
Hi everyone - I just replaced my rooted nook color with a shiny new A100, and am pretty pleased, even with the A100's moderate limitations. The only thing I'm unsure of is whether or not I should root my A100.
I really, really want to root it and get rid of some of the bloat, and get some of my apps onto it, (titanium for example) but I really want to be able to use it in-flight to watch movies. I haven't had ANY luck ripping movies for use on my nook, or on either of my rooted Android phones. I've tried Handbrake and a number of others, most of which I've found recommended on XDA, but no luck so far - I have no trouble getting good quality video, but the audio is always so out of sync as to render everything unwatchable.
I've got a rooted HTC Desire and a Droid 3, and my nook color, but have never found an app that successfully hides root from google movies.
Is anyone having any success using a rooted A100 to watch google movies? What method are you using to hide your root?
Alternatively, is anyone having consistent success with any particular program for ripping movies for use on their A100?
The nook color is horribly underpowered for watching movies, I had one too, same problem. The a100 doesn't have this problem and frankly any movie should play fine.
Try dice player, mxplayer and mobo players, in no real order, all 3 play HD video well, and the first two I know do subtitles.
Hiding root, not sure. I think supersu can do it, not sure about su.

Unfortunately, my failure wasn't limited to my nook; 90% of the movies I've ripped have had sync problems, even when played back on another computer, my Zune, my husband's iphone, or either of my two rooted phones.
I've tried ripping on a few different computers, too, hoping that the problem was my hardware, but even my newest computer, which I built with love and expensive parts, doesn't seem to make movies rip any better. The frustrating thing is that I'm such a rule-follower, I hate having to break DRM at all - I'd be happy to pay for movies that just WORK, without a whole lot of effing around!
Still, I'll try dice and mxplayer - I haven't given those a shot yet! Thanks!

I've noticed sometimes if audio is out of sync, or starts to go out of sync hitting software or software fast then going back will put it back in sync. This is in mxplayer though dice should also do it. Something to try. Dice will generally force hw mode so switching from whatever to another and back works for me.

Hi there, I was just wondering what you think about dex. This is my first time using it.
I downloaded the app on my macbook pro (latest) and my windows pc (full hd monitor) and I noticed that the resolution of the app in both computers is pretty bad. If I watch a video it looks good, in full hd but the app itself is low resolution. The text looks bad, the apps icons looks bad aswell and is in medium size window, not even full screen.
Just wanted to know if is just me or you guys aswell
yeah connecting my note 10+ to my pc and launching dex using the pc app makes it look absolutely terrible with a lot of input lag it's as if i connected it wirelessly it's even worse

I don't understand why is that. I was looking forward to this feature.
The lag makes it unusable.
That and the fact that almost no apps actually work... Yes, it's not "optimized" for DeX. Run the bloody thing anyway. In an ugly window if you must! The phone handles "ugly" floating windows natively, so why not in DeX?
There's something seriously backwards and wrong with DeX.

I agree. This is my first experience with DeX and I am not impressed. I never wanted to buy the docks or cables because I figured I wouldn't use it that much. The only real use I could see for me is watching Netflix at work during lunch but when I plug in the Note10+ Netflix it says "Can't show protected content on your computer." Like WTF I pay for Netflix, what are you talking about? I have also tried to login via the Samsung browser or Chrome and it immediately tells to download the app which doesn't work? Also if you try to open the Hulu app it immediately says it doesn't support DeX....
Hi guys. I had the same issue about not being able to watch streams on Windows DeX. I was trying to use Amazon Prime Video, I was using a USB to USB-C cable. Once I used the Samsung provided USB-C to USB-C cable I was able to watch. It has something to do with HDCP security. If the cable/port can't do it you won't be able to watch.

How would I use the provided Type-C to to Type-C cable with a desktop/tower computer?
this is the quality i have notice how it looks like a bad camstream
Have the same issue. Picture quality looks blurish..like 720p or even 480p. It's not sharp. (Have it connected with USB-C to USB on PC)
I thought the Dex was a very good feature, While in work i could load up Dex and keep personal personal while on my work PC.
But as others have pointed out, the limited support of Apps and the horrible Lag input has made me not want to use it.
Ive actually found more use out of the App Samsung Flow where i can load my full Phone screen onto my desktop. I can open any game or application without any restrictions! Talk about backwards!!!
I think it is an incompatability with Win10... This may be fixed over time but if you use Dex straight from device to TV it looks 10000x bettter... Nil lag with video's and crisper, sharper look...
I run it on my 65" TV with none of the faults I also experienced with Win10...
Guys, I think the issue of low resolution is because of the USB connection, meaning that I guess is the best that can be obtained with that cable connection, if you want a higher resolution I think you will need to use a USB C - HDMI connection.
Honestly I don't have issue with DeX. High res 1080p. Never any lag, doing anything including video. This is on my home PC and work PC. I use it everyday and it's genius. Btw I use 2 different USB a to USB c cables. Windows 10. Minimal spec computers too except for 20gb ram each.
So I noticed that the icons and icon text look ok, but what looks low res is the menu texts and text within any app. If I increase the font size it makes a huge difference, but it also increases the font size on my phone, which I do not want. I am using the smallest font size.
I think what's happening here is that when we connect DEX to the PC, DEX is being streamed over to the PC. The PC client is acting a video player for that stream. Hence the lag. They can certainly increase the resolution of the stream as USB C should support very high resolutions. My guess is that they want to prevent compatibility issues when people will connect the phone from USB C to USB A ports and it will start stuttering if the resolution is too high. That or that higher encoding bitrates will overload the phone.
In any case, for first time users, try the real native experience by connecting the phone directly to a monitor and it will be very crisp with no lag and no app limitations.
I understand the disappointment with Dex in its current form.
This is more of a proof of concept than of a fully functional OS. Think about what something like this will be in 5 - 10 years. By the end of that time the PC will be dead! Everything will be done with the device in our pocket!
Exciting times indeed!
same for the galaxy s10 even with a Thunderbolt 3 cable
