I've read from a few sources that the Nexus 7 2013 is Slimport compatible.
Has anyone had success getting it working?

have you tried it? are you asking just as a general question or are you having issues getting it working? fyi its working flawlessly for me
Thanks for the replies. I do not yet own a slimport adapter, I wanted to be sure it works before ordering as they're quite expensive.
Will it bitstream DTS and AC3 surround sound?
slimport not working for me
Unfortunately I am having issued. It worked with a very old hdtv. For my newer samsung and philips 1080p tvs, it would just show a black screen. On one of the tvs, it advises that the resolution is coming through but nothing appears on the screen. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Make sure you have a 1080p slimport, and yes I've seen this issue.

well i'm using it with a 2012 samsung and it works perfectly. i'd suggest maybe trying a different hdmi cable. for whatever reason, this usually solves such problems for me
Tried a few different cables. One worked on there old TV but not on the new ones. I feel like the new TVs can't figure out how to downgrade the resolution to 1080 but it's probably just my slimport
I've noticed that HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, DRM basically) seems to always be active on the SlimPort adapter with no way to turn it off. This is a known issue with older TVs that are not HDCP compliant. If this is the case there's not much you can do.
Actually most consumer TVs will be HDCP compliant or they won't work with your cable boxes over HDMI to get HBO. It is usually the other equipment like PC monitors, capture boards, or switchers that sometimes have issues with HDCP.
The issue with TVs is usually not that they don't support HDCP but rather their support has some interoperability problem with another implementation of HDCP. Compliancy basically meant little in the past as their was no certification and mandatory interop testing.
I'm curious does the Slimport downscale 1920x1200 to 1920x1080 via vertical compression? Or is Android rendered natively at 1080p as a "second display"?

hello!
what resolution can I expect to get when connecting to an external display? Tegra 3 itself shouldn't have any problems with 1080p via MHL should it? But the question is if it will work. Maybe not with stock rom and sense but will it even be possible for a dev to make a rom further on where you can get anything else than mirroring at 720p?
this is the first phone that I think is powerful enough to replace my desktop computer (I don't do much more than internet and watching movies). But 720 doesn't give much work area.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/12/htc-media-link-hd-display-mirroring-box/
This article states "...the Media Link HD does 1080p over 802.11n to any HDMI-equipped TV, instead of just 720p, and promises to mirror games as well as videos, photos and music..."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geCZhmB-f1s&feature=related
This youtube video shows it off from about 50s into the video.
Yea I saw that on engadget, and i've probably seen every hands on video on youtube, it's awesome! But I think the media link will be expensive and I'd rather use an MHL adapter for a desktop solution. I wonder how the media link will work for say browsing.
Nvidias own tegra 3 specs says 1920x1080 via hdmi, but on wikipedia it says up to 2560×1600, though not output specified.
ah ok sorry I miss understood
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=229814
Seems to be £80 for the Media Link and £28 for the cable so a fair difference but worth it imo not to have the wire across the room but then the cable is more portable...
I guess for browsing it will just mirror what's on the screen. Would be cool if you could use the phone as a track pad / keyboard, with the browser window on the TV...
2 more weeks and we should know more...
i've looked in the TF prime forum where someone asked the same question but with a prime instead of one x but noone could give a straight answer.
maybe that's something to contact nvidia for, making them provide a driver for devs that can bypass the device screen and only output to external with different resolution. I don't know how ICS really works but seeing it's for both phones and tablets now the scaling must work differently right? Acer made a demo tablet called iconia tab A700 and it has 1080.
I'll have to wait 6 weeks for mine.
I might get the media link for my tv later. The trackpad idea would be really cool, then you'd only need a bt keyboard. I think asus had a concept demo where you had a laptop dock and put the phone where a trackpad normally is. But I wonder if you'd notice the input lag compared to a normal track pad.

Thats correct t3 is capable of outputting more than 1080p via hdmi, there was a video demonstration showing that
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
What features would be available over normal DLNA? Mirroring or anything like that? Or do we have to have the media link thing?
OK so there was a hulu update that allows 1080p playback in the galaxy s4 and htc dna. I was wondering if there would be anyway to trick the app to think I have a galaxy s4 to receive the 1080p playback.

Yes but I have an mhl adapter and would like to output hulu to my 1080p tv
Edit: Modified build.prop to match that of the galaxy s4 but it didn't work. I didn't change ro.chipname, ro.product.board, and ro.board.platform as it seemed to brick my phone. Maybe it has something to do with that.

That seems like ALOT of work for the processor to do. Stream a movie in 1080p and then send it through MHL. at that point its easier to use a laptop with HDMI.

Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to connect the s4 mini to hdtv by mhl→hdmi adapter in the same way that you can on the s4.
I have bought an adapter suitable for the s4 but doesn't seem to work with my hdtv via hdmi.
Someone please help?
Thanks
The MHL protocol isn't supported on the S4 mini

Is it a hardware limitation, or something we can work around?
No official word on it. The latest kernel updates haven't brought any mhl or otg functionality to the phone.
Perhaps a developer could look into this!
4 months down the line - does anyone know any different to this?
Tried using my MHL to HDMI the other day and didn't work - was hoping there is some kind of work around by now?
Downloaded a few films from the Samsung Hub and was hoping to watch them on something a bit bigger than my phone! Tried the DLNA option but it didn't find my downloaded videos (only videos done with the camera). Guessing this is some kind of DRM restriction?

Actually there is a way but you should by an AllShare Dongle http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Wi-...id=1386596265&sr=8-2&keywords=AllShare+Note+3
The other way is to have a Samsung tv which support Screen Cast or Screen Share which will work with our phone.
I also prefer the MHL way but until now there is no info if this will ever work.

If you have a new Samsung TV which support Screen Share you are good to go also other devices which support Miracast should be also compatable you could see more about Miracast here:

So I noticed the older Galaxy Note 10.1 is listed as compatible with the Altec ScreenBeam Pro... I'm wondering if it also works with the newer 2014 edition. Has anybody tried? It seems to work quite well with the Nvidia Shield (Nvidia actually recommends it out of many miracast devices that they've tried. They've even worked with altec to optimize it for the Shield, so I imagine that would also benefit other compatible Android devices): http://www.actiontec.com/products/63.php

it works, have the shield recommended firmware installed on the screenbeam as well. tried drawing and watching google movies with it. no problems.
I have the Rocketfish MiraCast receiver and it works with the Note 2014.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback... was beginning to think this was going to go unanswered. Guess it may be time to look into getting a miracast adapter! Thanks again.

I am also rooted and MiraCast still works. It is a bit more slugish than my Nexus 7.2. Probably because of scaling down since the Nexus is the resolution as the TV. My Nexus 10 was a bit slower as well.

I have the PTV3000 dongle and the note seems to disconnect immediately after connecting to the dongle with this message "unable to start screen mirroring because of a hardware issue".
quick lookups on google seems to indicate it's related to the status being unofficial. I am wondering if you had any similar problems and if I'd appreciate if you can share your workaround if you have any.
Thanks

Try resetting the ptv3000 and updating the firmware.I got to work after a few mins.

As for the OP question, actiontec has a 4th gen miracast adapter that works

Nope, you just need to plug the adapter into an available HDMI port on your tv
oh cool, thank you. Was just a bit confused on that.
I've had some luck with the ptv3000 on the 2.4.26 update. YouTube videos and games almost work, but my connection just seems barely too slow to be usable. Pictures and anything else seem to work okay for me. Would the screen beam pro work any better for gaming since I'd seems to be endorsed by nvidia?
Are You using the built in screescreen Mirror app
Are you using the screen mirror in the settings or a third party app
I'm using the one in settings. Would any third party app be better?
I've got an older Samsung HDTV (4661 I think is the model) that does 1080p. When hooking up this adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F07KAVM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I get "No signal detected." However, when I connect it to a cheap-o generic TV that only does 720p, it works great.
I'd order a different adapter to try, but I have a feeling that if this adapter works with the generic TV, then it's an issue with my Samsung TV and not the adapter. Has anyone found a similar problem and knows of a solution. Or should I just give up at this point?
My 2013 Nexus 7 is running the latest OS right now, 4.4.2 I believe.
Thanks!

I can confirm this. I have a 2008 Samsung LCD and Slimport from my Nexus 5 does not work. Walked into Target and plugged it into several TVs, both cheap brands and name brands, and they all work.
People on Google's product forum seem to have drawn a similar conclusion regarding older Samsung TVs. http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/o3LTHLbSiv0/vRa3xRaER58J
