[Q]Computer/Tech-savvy people only

So I'm hoping people with a little more knowledge than me in PCs would help me figure out this issue I have at the moment with my computer.
Is there any way to block an app/program from detecting your external display? In other words, still use my Vizio as a monitor, yet fool my computer to think it's my laptop's actual monitor?
The reason I'm trying to figure this out is so I can use the Optimum for Laptop app. It only runs on laptops and will not work if it detects that you're using an external display. I have no choice at the moment to use one, since the screen on my Dell Inspiron is shattered. Any tips/advice is appreciated

Try mirroring your display instead of just choosing the external as your main display. Therefore you have both the display on the laptop and on the external screen. If you choose the external as your main it cuts off the feed to the laptops screen. You will probably have to leave the lid open or go into your power settings and
choose do nothing when you close the lid. Hope this helps.

Yeah I say mirror the display as well. If that works, just toss a black shirt over your laptop screen so the light doesn't leak through.

I tried that, but then it would not stream the channel. Like it knows.....
Thanks for replying though. I appreciate it.

try enabling only the external monitor (if you haven't already) using your video card/driver software. i know this is possible in software like catalyst control center and others.

So here's what happens now. The warning about me using the external display doesn't pop up anymore when I change the display to clone on both monitors. But the channels will not load, unless I unplug the VGA to my laptop. Then the channel will start playing. I'm trying to figure out any way to still use my monitor but at the same time my laptop doesn't detect it.

I have the same exact question as the OP.
Have you found another solution to this? If I clone my display, the max resolution to my monitor is much less than I want it to be (monitor is capable of 1920 x 1080).
Thanks.

I have the same issue has there been any progress?

Moved to Off-topic.

Bumping..
Would be nice to have this ability

do i need to be a member to reply to this? (I guess so lol) Optimum STILL doesn't support external display of their optimum for laptop, or thru the optimum app. It's RIDICULOUS! I subscribe to the basic tv but have no cable boxes since I only subscribed to lower my entire bill as I got a promotion for a year. I watch tv now and again on my iphone 6 or on my rca 10" tablet. I have antenna and get all the major channels but when it's really crappy weather out I will watch on tablet or phone. Would be nice if I can cast the picture to my 40" tv instead of watching on my iphone 6. Now that Altice has bought Optimum and doubled our speeds maybe they'll support external display. (But I doubt it....)

Nexus 7 mini-review

For anyone interested (you've probably read most of the pro's and con's before, or else why would you be here) - I did a small mini-review of the Nexus 7 I received from ebuyer today.

is the image retention issue solved on the production unit and how's the sky video chat image quality (when viewed on other device)?

The Gmail app on the Nexus 7 is good, nicely laid out. Would benefit from a landscape view though. . (again, probably fixable by with a different launcher)

The Gmail app can be used in landscape.

"There’s only 1 speaker on it (so watching films is in mono, and only out of the right side of the device)"
Are you sure? All tear-downs said two speakers were present for stereo sound from what i remember.

'Sky' video chat? If you meant Skype - it's awful! I just skyped a friend with a Nexus 7 and the orientation was wrong on the viewing window, and it was very poor quality.
We tested Google Hangout after and it was a lot better.

Thanks for the quick verification. Based on some reviews for the google IO units, the Skype video chat image is choppy and awful. This however seems to be related to the Skype application so hope Skype will release updates to fix this soon.
You can find many image retention topic related to the IO units. Basically if you display a bright logo or image on screen for short period of time and then switch to a darker background screen you'll still see a faint logo/image stuck on the screen but may disappear soon. (kinda like screen burn in on those plasma TVs but much shorter interval.)

I think it offers a degree of asthetics though to have a uniform grill going across, which may be the reasoning behind it.

Skype is horrible to begin with I think.
I had it on my atrix, my xoom, and my SGS3... they are horrible! even on wifi.
we use tango instead now. I really wish skype would work though, because it can easily be used on computers too.
maybe give hangout a try....

Fair enough - apologies, it would appear there are 2 speakers under the 1 grill but as I said - that's completely pointless. You lose any kind of stereophonic effect by stuffing both speakers to one side under 1 grill.
The playbook (for all its flaws!) does this right, it's a great sounding device.

Updated my original post to give a bit of an FAQ, and confirm that it's possible to view Adobe Flash Player content in the browser on the Nexus 7, albeit not in full-screen unfortunately.

Ubuntu tablet dev preview coming out (for the N7) on Thursday!

http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/19/ca...r-preview-available-for-download-on-thursday/
Can't wait!
What everyone else thinks about this?

So excited for this. Will flash it without a second thought.

I want it badly on N7.
Just need to repair it's usb

I'm excited for this as well, although I probably won't use it for very long, I can't go without my android games.

I'm also excited about this....finally a real alternative OS to Android..hopefully it can work with the MultiROM hack.

So I've got to ask, from a daily use standpoint, what would be the advantages of Ubuntu over Android OS?

I cant believe i just sat staring at the countdown clock on my phone in class just to see it will be released Thursday. Way to get my hopes up canonical. Really reduced my trust level in you guys.

Oh wow.. I am so glad I've just seen this.
I've been in two minds about the Nexus 7 as I already own the S3, so it's basically just buying a bigger screen with the same OS.
As soon as this is released I'll be buying this and flashing Ubuntu tablet, that video won me over. I'm really looking forward to it

That's just because of seem less multitasking capabilities, better use the OS like its meant to be rather than putting on crappy devices which can't handle multitasking and will end up giving crappy experience to the user. And its flexible, they announced they are gonna release image for N10 and N7. And nexus 7 doesn't quite matches the requirements.

I was kinda of worried that they would leave out Nexus 7 due to its lower specs than recommended .......... but what's up with 4GB ram? I mean there no tablet with such memory in the market!!!
And also i think Nexus 7 would not have the desktop mode like Nexus 10, but I hope browsers are going to be good!
Also, does any one know ..... are they planning to use debian packaging system for ubuntu phone and tablet, or something else?

High ram is so that if its docked on a large display like a TV, people can use heavy Linux softwares which require way more ram than mobile/tablet applications.
No, nexus 7 won't have feature.

We'll see.. If it works it works.. I'll give it a fair shake.. I just can't help but feel there is a catch coming.. It all sounds a little too good to be true.. I'm also curious how much data mining this thing will do and if they are data mining if it's as easy to turn off as it currently is in 12.04 and 12.10. It's bad enough Google and Facebook siphon every bit of information out of us they can.. I don't need another company doing it.

Duh, they're NOT talking about an Android tablet for the Desktop one; they're talking about a full blown x86 tablet.. My guess; a Surface Pro type thing. Anyone else making x86 tablets these days?

I hope that there will be other Ubuntu based distros coming out with a tab is, like mint for example
Nexus 7:
Unlock/Root
PRIME D
M-Kernel
PimpMyROM

This is one of the many reasons why I love being a nexus device owner. Can't wait to try this out. Not so sure about it being a daily driver now that I've seen the spec requirements. But only time will tell.

This I found results from the phone incorrectly detecting the white balance.
It is easily fixed by pressing the picture button and holding it while your phone focuses and measures the shot. Then a second later release it and the results are a marked difference.
To those using any camera with a half and full press button this isn't a large surprise but with the trend to simple tap on smartphones I find this easily overlooked.

He's a street dog. Someone found him as a pup in the rain and put him online. He's pretty mixed as a breed but has some hound in him. And much smaller than a mastiff :cyclops:
I didnt know about the hold focus either. I felt it wasnt obvious because the N4 unlike htc's and iphones doesnt do an instant photo. it does the shenanigan of focusing with the ring and all the jazz so one would assume it would measure its white balance then. Anyway you live and you learn

Galaxy S5 Leaked ahead of launch[FULL DEVICE LEAK]

Galaxy S5 has leaked today, a few hours from the UNPACKED event. This will give you an idea of what to expect at the event today.
Not much has changed from S4 in terms of design though, which is a disappointment. And it still looks like it's made out of some type of plastic and not even faux leather!
The UI is a little bit different and is much flatter.
The camera is 16MP. It is yet to be seen if it's the ISOCELL tech. Also, UHD recording is present.
According to calculations done by somebody, the battery is 2800 MAh, and it looks just the same as the one on the Galaxy Round.
There is also a Fingerprint scanner on-board, possibly only a Swipe type which is located on the home button.
Menu key has been replaced with multitask key and there is a weird sensor near the camera flash (iris scanner probably). EDIT: It is a Heart Rate Monitor

It is disappointing to me too. I expected a radically changed design this time around.
It looks worse than Hyperglaze or Faux leather. And the white one looks like Styrofoam.
But maybe there will be a premium "Prime" version too. There are leaks about such a possibility.

They seem to be just throwing in a good SoC, Camera, display and bloatware and not bothering about the build quality!

I stuck with my phone (iPhone 4) since 2010. I really want a new device an I'm waiting for every press event from Samsung, Sony, Apple and others. But the leaked pictures are very disappointing. Again...

My preference is for the Note 3

That design team needs to be fired ASAP. I hope the press this time criticizes negatively Samsung with no mercy.

Ewwwww

Looks like a cheap bath mat you get in a hotel

Seriously ._. That's what it looks like ._. This is where I go hahaha Samsung you piece of crap with Knox and terrible ui lol can they not find ANY better styling!?!?!

Samsung need to hire that Duarte guy from Google. His designs using budget material and costs are amazing. With Samsung's pockets and resources he could design something that would beat an iPhone or HTC in beauty and also have personality, while starting a new design language for future samsung devices.
