I've recently bought Xperia's HDMI cable. It works fine on TV but I wonder if it's possible to connect it to PC, to Video Cards HDMI, I have one. But when I connect nothing happens. If anyone knows how to use Phone as monitor via HDMI or to view phone on PC monitor via HDMI please help. Thanks in advance
You wanna use your computer as an external screen for your phone(just like tv)? The possible HDMI port in your computer is HDMI-out, and you cannot use it as HDMI-in. You will need some kind of a usb adapter for it.
And if your monitor(you have a desktop pc?) has an HDMI port, it would be an HDMI-in port. Try plugging your phone into your monitor?
it should work probably... don't know if the graphic card or the monitor will be propertly shown on phone due to resolution issues...
Thanks everyone, yea my video has hdmi out only, but i thought i could use it as hdmi in. anyway thanks for help, if u know any 3rd party software to solve my problem, please advice. Thanks for now

Hey.
I acquired an adapter for the arc s that should enable to me to use the HDMI out.
I use the same cable with my netbook, works like a treat. I unplug the netbook, connect the adapter to the hdmi cable, attach the Arc S and I get.... nothing.
Running stock rom 4.0.2.A.0.42, no custom kernel, its even still bootloader locked (i know, shame )
am I missing something simple like a "use hdmi out" switch, and i am just to blind to find it?
help
cheers

I've never used HDMI, but do you have the LiveWare manager installed?
(correct me if I'm totally wrong )
i didnt, do now tho
it only gives me options for headsets/headwear/charger... so ntohing connected with the hdmi out...
and after looking up the demonstrations on youtube it seems really to be plug and play, so .... yeah... at this stage (except if anyone can point me somewhere else) i must suspect the adapter for the cable by process of elimination. F***
/goes off to buy a new one next pay check
cheers

I got a cable with my arc s and it works no problem. Just plug it into tv then into the phone and it automatically switches to the channel. Of connect to phone first I have to manually select the hdmi channel

Could anybody explain what is the difference?
What I've seen on youtube it is possible to connect HTC One X and TV for example and stream it to TV.
Could I use the same cable to connect to external DAC. I guess not because of the issue mentioned here h**p://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars&groupby=&sort=-stars&id=24614 however, not sure why HDMI out works, but connecting to external DAC not, both are digital signals, right?
Could somebody explain it, please?
Hi guys,
My galaxy nexus screen has been cracked and it does not respond in 75% of the screen.
I bought a MHL to HDMI convertor on amazon and luckily got the phone UI to show up on my TV
Now since the touchscreen won't work , I need to connect a keyboard or mouse via USB OTG and use it for navigation.
Problem is the Galaxy Nexus has only a single microUSB/MHL port combined into one.
I have no idea how to split the output from the phone to connect to a USB OTG cable and MHL to HDMI adapter simultaneously !
Any help will be appreciated,
The phone is not rooted AFAIK , but may be I'm not sure. It was running Android 4.1 JellyBean when I dropped it on the floor
The phone does show up on my Windows PC and I have copied the photos off it. But I still want to copy contacts and SMS messages.
You tried just using something like Android Screencast from the PC (USB debugging is needed)
Also, some MHL adapters have a USB port in them, for power. Have you tried getting a crude micro USB splitter? Like this one? http://www.replacebase.co.uk/micro-usb-female-to-2-x-micro-usb-male-splitter-2392-p.asp#.URk59JGYOBs
Not guaranteed that would work though. Also, a quick google of what you want brings up some others with the same issue, have you tried to see if any of them have succeeded?

Good news
I had a spare galaxy nexus in the office and I gently took the screws of both the devices , and just swapped the displays so that I could quickly turn on usb debugging , backup essential stuff and also turn on bluetooth.
Thanks to some assembly videos on youtube ! will share some pics soon

I have the M2 801W. Before I bought it, I did some research and found that unfortunately it cannot be connected to an external monitor.
