I'm not sure what most people are using they're tablets for but IMO this is still a pretty good tablet. Its got a decent camera for a tablet, quick enough for internet, email, Netflix and videos, HDMI connection for my TV, SD card port. But I mainly use it as an e-reader!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Mine does triple duty primarily- depending on the situation.
It is still used off and on to navigate web and to read Kindle books.
On road trips it's my map display tethered to a MIFi.
When at home it's on my night stand and serves as a real time weather display.

Any practical reason to hdmi out to tv?

I just got to thinking about this. I mean besides the cool factor is there any other real reason to output your phones screen to your tv? If you have the adapter and whole hdmi out setup what do you use it for? I guess it would be neat for me for about 10min on my 51" but I can't see any real use.
I've paired mine with ps3 controller and use it to emulate ps1,genisis,snes,nes..and then hook up to TV..now o got a sweet time killer...
You can watch movies, display pictures, give presentations, play games...

Ok I stand corrected, that does sound cool. I would do that. I've got a 360 not a ps3 though. I'll have to do some googleing see if that's possible.

I thought about the whole movie thing. But with all the streaming media devices people probably already have I still don't get it. Maybe I'm assuming to much but any 360 or ps3 can stream just about anything you'd want imo. Pictures I'll never understand, I don't need to see a picture on an lcd. Presentations I can see that for the business guys who need it. Playing games, aren't you still tethered to a cord?
Use a wireless game controller.

I have not done it with this phone since I have yet to buy the cable, but with my Vibrant's TV out all the time, its easier to put the movies on the Phone instead of the game console since im connected to it more often and using the Laptop means if my wife wants to use the laptop she cant without interrupting the movie. (She could ealk the 8 FT to the desktop.. but thats niether here nor there ) As far as games, even though your tethered atleast with the vibrant, it wasnt that bad.. kinda makes the device the console and controller in one and with all of these newer games coming out its pretty nice on my 46". just my 10 cents
Here is the best reason. the NBA league pass for mobile is only $40. I plug my phone to my TV and bam! No need to pay the $160.

I would like to know this as well. I've read elsewhere that they block it from HDMI out, but would like to know if anyone has any experience with this and also if there is some way around it with a rooted device. (ie freezing some background app like you can do with the one they use to block free tethering).

Why would you ever want that? The whole idea of unpartitioned storage w/ MTP is that its less of a hassle. You're just creating more problems by introducing different formatting and partition tables. Kinda funny how everyone complained on old phones dealing with partitions, "low storage" errors, and Apps2SD... now that they have large internal storage and no partitions they hate it too.
Just leave it be. It works really well (on the aggregate) and its the way that Google wants it. I don't see them ever going back to partitions and UMS. Better get used to it.
I just want to be able to connect to my PS3 because my laptops were stolen when my apt. was burglarized, and the only place I have media is on my PS3. I'm not looking to make things difficult. I just think that Samsung already did that by not making it USB compatible with devices such as PS3, tvs, sound systems, etc. Especially these days. My 5 year old Sansa Clip will connect to any media device, I'd like to think the GNex is more advanced than that. Just my opinion...

Well I'm sorry that your laptop was stolen, but that's not Samsung's fault (and btw it was Google's decision on the design and implementation of the storage, not Sammy). Single internal storage and MTP is more advanced and overall a better solution. I think that asking most people, they'd take this solution over the partitions and UMS that allows them to connect to a PS3...
I hear you. I know people didn't just buy this phone to connect to PS3 and to me, it really is a small price to pay for an otherwise great phone. (It's probably gonna make me get a new cpu)lol But its pissin me off that this elite smart-phone can't do something my LG Dare did! I just wanna make sure its not a "pebkac" problem.

Do you want to actually transfer or would streaming be fine? If streaming is okay, I suggest imediashare from the Play Store. You can stream images and videos to your PS3 this way(tried it myself today)

It works fine with old technology. PC's recognize a GNex (or any camera, for that matter) in MTP/PTP mode and transfer files without issue. I think you're confusing an "issue" on the Galaxy Nexus with an actual issue on the side of the PS3 not recognizing MTP/PTP...
MTP isn't some fancy new technology. It's been around forever (since at least Windows XP). It's not like Google invented MTP for use on the Galaxy Nexus (it was actually invented by Microsoft) just to piss everyone off.
And as I said before... single, non-expandable internal unpartitioned storage and MTP are here to stay and you're just going to have to deal with it. Google isn't going to change this, and I for one am happy they've made this decision. Really wish people would quit *****ing about it. If you don't like MTP, don't buy the Galaxy Nexus. You'll be missing out on a great device for a silly reason.

Excellent video mate, is the S3 your main phone these days? I'm sure I remember you doing a similar review on the Galaxy Note, that's what I have although I did get an S3 for the missus and it is tempting, but I'm holding out for the Note 2.
By the way, can you point me in the direction of a relatively cheap bluetooth keyboard and mouse that will work with my Note, but a set that doesn't come with a usb dongle since I want to use the micro usb port on the phone to connect it via MHL to my TV. If that makes sense.

Awesome. $10 sure beats $40 for the official adapter. Just need some compatibility confirmation reviews before pulling the trigger.
Is there anyone out there with a USB DAC who can verify the S3 can actually output digital audio via USB?
This is a long time wish for audiophiles, who will all be getting an S3 if this functionality works.

No, both apple lol. I am guessing he might be using blue tooth for one and usb for the other.
Both bluetooth. I used to use em with my iPad (which I sold to buy a non contract note 2). The apple magic mouse, however, only can use its nice touch features while connected to a mac so its really just a simple, thin mouse. The logitech version of the keyboard has a nice case that it comes with, might be a good alternative.

It might be confusing in the beginning but as you watch the video, pause it and do each step as he tells you. The end result will be so worth it.
Great video, as soon as that dock releases, I plan to do something like this.
Nice video. It would be great to see how well Ubuntu (or some other favorite linux distribution) does. This would give you many other office and math applications to use. Anyone try linux on android yet? Downside would be that it has no audio. But performance should be very good.
Amazing stuff. While I'd have to wait for a dock myself, the USB-to-go cable looks like a wonderful alternative. Now, if I can find a reasonably priced portable monitor, I could truly go mobile - no need to worry about lugging around a laptop.

After seeing this I decided to give it a go. Sadly I don't have a mouse or the MHL connector yet, but it seems to work, at least for productivity. Got ubuntu 12 running with minimal effort, working on debian right now to see which I prefer. It seems pretty hard to use without a mouse, and I am lazy so instead of searching my house for a spare mouse, because I am unwilling to unplug the mouse from my desktop, I instead ordered a cheap bluetooth mouse. When I have everything I will probably make a video for myself.

SlimPort adapters

Anybody have one or planning on getting one? I'm kinda bummed I'll have to get another one (already have MHL) dumb competing standards. The few available on Amazon seem overpriced (in the $30 range) for a chunk of plastic and some wire.
Buy the one from analogix. That is the official one and it does cost $30. It is pricy when compared to regular MHL adaptors, but its worth it if you plan on using it.

What the cable gets you that the chromecast doesn't is direct streaming of content. chromecast does not currently support file playback through gallery. All direct streaming from the device (not from the internet) is "beta"

I didn't even notice the port was not MHL. What nincompoop opted to go with this rather than MHL? Maybe I don't know something I should here, but hasn't MHL been around for a couple years now? And is there anything allegedly superior about slimport that would make it desirable over MHL?
This is just a little disappointing to me because both of my Samsung phones use MHL and at this point my backpack is already the subject of Guantanamo style field stripping every time I fly international.

Yes and? Sorry not being rude but don't see the point. I just thought I'd let people know they can get them shipped world wide for a pretty good price now. Not all of us live in America. Thanks.

Haha no worries. That's true. It will take a long time to arrive. They've just been really hard to get even through Asia so just thought I'd let people know since I came across them. Thanks.
I'm looking for one too. Even the one on ebay cost around $20 from china. Not counting waiting for over a month for it. Bought more than a few items from china, and only about 50% of them ever work.
Just be careful with the non analogical brand slimport adaptors. People from the N4 were having problems with certain ones. You can check in the N4 accessories thread as there is more information about them there.
I can confirm that the official one works perfect.

Got the 30$ analogix one and tried it out last night.. works great on the new N7!
