I need to find an alternative for audio output, I have an HDMI monitor, BUT no speakers to attach to it, are there any output alternatives. Since the micro usb port seems to have no MTP support, what can be done?
You could probably use something like this;

A real possibility, but expensive (in comparison)
Thanks!

Forgive me if a stupid question but the new rage going on is the new USB support for our NCs, what exactly can I do with that functionality now? Examples would be nice. Is it just simple stuff like keyboards, etc?
All of this is unconfirmed, but what I've seen mentioned includes webcams and game controllers in addition to keyboards/mice.
mass storage devices will work as well if you have an external power source
Another stupid question from my side:
How WILL this USB connectivity work? Meaning we connect any USB enabled device to the micro-USB port of the nook from which the charger connects?
That would be cool since that would enable USB keyboards to work with the nook..

And many USB thumb drives work without any external power at all. Not all of them, but an older 2GB of mine works perfectly (especially with the vold file modified so that mass storage devices auto mount)

Would you mind sharing your vold line? Does it work regardless of the sdx partition actually mounted? (In other word, is it wildcarded for any type of flash, or just for your particular drive)

This is all i used (the example line): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14548442&postcount=159
all of my micro usb cards work with a reader.
perhaps they need lesser power to run
So basically, I can plug up a webcam and video chat with a market app? Or am I being too wishful?
Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.

Is there a Keyboard/Mouse that will work with the Nook that anyone is using today? Of course, I don't understand how a mouse would work because there is no pointer/cursor in Android is there?
I'd love to be able to have a mouse/keyboard and not have to lug my laptop around on business trips but just use the Nook instead. May be wishful thinking I suppose.
As soon as you connect a mouse, a pointer appears.

Cool, thanks. I have a few micro USB cables and a couple of female to female adapters on the way so I can hook a USB mouse and keyboard up to the cables.

Did you need a powered USB hub for this, or does the nook power the mouse?

Depends on the mouse. If the mouse can run on 100mA, it will work with no hub (personally tested with a Logitech wireless).
Just wondering if anyone knows whether they've gotten the usb headphones with mic to work. I've been following that usb thread in development pretty closely (although I can't post there; not enough general posts, so I guess I'll have to start spamming), and it appears as though they are close, but I haven't seen a post definitely stating that it works. Seems as though they were getting some noise through the mic, but the rate was off. Too fast or too slow or something. Maybe someone knows?
Which Female to Female adapter to get?
I found some Female to Female adapters on Amazon, but they had mixed reviews. If you are using one successfully , I would appreciate more information about where to get it.

Same here. I bought one from ebay for $1.98 but what they sent did not match the description or picture so I killed the charge with AmEx.
As for webcam support, not working as far as I have been able to test. I can get the nook to recognize the cam but the apps do not see it. Have tried yahoo msgr,tango, ooVoo,fring, ect...
As for uses, mouse,keyboard,sd card reader,direct connection to DSLR's for photo transfer, flash drives.
As for flash drives, I have about 20 here from various mfr and only 1 will worrk without a powered hub but using a powered hub, everything works.

Hi guys,
been a passive viewer in the xda forums for a long time but never posted anything, so be easy on me - It's my first.
I would like to connect my galaxy s i9000 to the pc screen.
I know there's the TV out option, but it involves a 3.5" to RCA cable, and pc screens don't have RCA jacks.
Does anyone know of a way to do this? and if you know what kind of cable is required that will be great.
I'm using the CM9 rom, build 17 from theam hacksung.
Just to clarify, I want to connect to phone to the PC so I can view the phone on the PC screen.
Thanks in advance
Short answer is you can't.
Longer answer is you might.
Your monitor doesn't have RCA connectors but if you have a tuner installed inside your PC, you might be able to connect it to that and then use the software that came with the tuner to display it onto your monitor.
Another method would be to use a RCA to whatever input your display has converter but they are are usually pricey and after a search for RCA to HDMI/VGA/DVI I don't think they really exist.
Even if there was a 3.5mm to HDMI/VGA/DVI cable, it wouldn't work unless the display was designed to take a PAL or NTSC signal through those types of connections.
With cm9, you need to have 3.5mm to RCA cable plugged in then go into System Settings>Advanced>TV Out. The option is greyed out when no 3.5mm to RCA cable is plugged in and the option has to be checked every time you plug the cable in.
Thanks for the reply,
I knew about the tv-out option, but didn't think about using a tuner - that might work!
Another question, do you think that a micro usb - hdmi cable might work?
I saw a while back that samsung offered such a cable that was designed for that purpose exactly.
I've searched a lot of forums but havn't got a clear answer if this actually works, not have I seen a youtube video demonstrating this.
Does anyone know if using a micro usb - hdmi cable wokrs?

Do you know what tuner you have? I'm not sure if yours will have it but there will be a yellow plug like the ones you find on a TV.
I'm %99.9 sure that the I9000 doesn't have HDMI out through USB. It would seem a bit excessive to have two video out ports. Although you did spark an interesting subject, if someone could whip together drivers to work with something like this we could potentially have HDMI through USB but I don't see it happening any time soon.
Here's another way to view your phone through your PC: http://mymobiler.com/
Any way of doing this in CM9? I'm thinking I need a microusb to hdmi cable, but would it work?

From what I've read, I don't think so.
The only way it would work is if you had an app that would provide output via USB, which I very highly doubt would happen. The only other thing I know of that would come close to that would be doing some sort of DLNA sharing, but then you'd be playing it from the TV and not on the TP itself (which could just be sitting there doing nothing, or someone else using it).
The TP wasn't designed for any form of output other than sound, hence why there's only a headphone jack on it. Sorry, mate. If you come up with a way, please share.
Can smart dock of SGN2 work on our phone? it work on S3, may be someone try if possible
If not working then may be anyone can help with similar alternative, I require HDMI + USB Port for devices thats all I want.
I am talking about something like this:

The S3 (and probably also the SGN2) use an alternative micro-USB connection with extra pins that allows to use USB OTG and HML simultaneously. The 4x HD doesn't have that, so the dock could never work on our phone. There do exist docks with only a normal microUSB connection that you could use for HML (HDMI).

Thats really sad, I was hoping to be able to use my wired PS3 controller along with MHL TV connection simultaneously. I assume our phone uses similar pins setup as HTC OneX hope atleast HTC finds a way to do it
u can use a ps3 controller with Sixaxis controller using bluetooth, works great
Hey All,
I'm trying to get my N6 >> OTG >> DAC setup working.
Previously, I was using a Note 4 and this worked just fine. Exact same setup.
On the N6, I'm not getting anything; no output. I'm using USB Audio Player Pro and it does not detect the USB audio device that is my DAC. If I use Neutron or Google Music, it just out rights output to the N6 speakers.
I had a split second of success when using a USB hub that was externally powered, but it stops after a second of audio. If I go straight from the N6 to DAC, I get nothing.
Everything is pointing me to the lack of power output from the N6. I suspect the Note 4 provides more amps?
I found a reddit thread that said they disabled USB charging somehow and had success, but they didn't elaborate on how it was done.
Any help and feedback us much appreciated!
Maybe the fact that the Nexus 6 is not host (OTG) - compatible can help you ?
I don't know how you can make it OTG-compatible, but if you have a way to do this, I would like to know it
USB Audio Player pro works just fine playing 192kHz Flac files through my AudioQuest FireFly, not sure why youre having issues....
I've tested with and Audioengine D1 and a JDS Labs ODAC. Both failing. OTG works, because I can connect USB mouse and USB storage just fine.
Samsung's give out much more power than Nexus devices. Samsung can power a mechanical hdd via OTG where as the nexus generally can't.
Is this something specific to Samsung hardware? Surely, there must be a way on the Nexus. It's essentially a battery and a USB port.

It was originally specific to Samsung. The S3 was the first device able to power a USB HDD.. Whether more devices can now or not, I cannot say.
That's not to say every device that needs power won't work, just those that need more power. I'm sure other usb dac devices work.. Whether yours needs more power than those, I dont know.
like I said, its working for me...so it could be the DACs you have require more power than the NX6 puts out, or maybe it just doesnt like the OTG cable you are using. try another that you know works

With that theory, I should be able to power any DAC using a powered USB (dedicated source) as a buffer. This worked momentarily for the Audioengine D1, but then it is cut-off. I've read somewhere that some DACs will try and detect if the power is from a "self-powered" source. Not sure where I'm going with this as I don't expect a work around. Just wanted to mention that note.

Try with a powered otg cable. Like this; http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Player-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00CXAC1ZW
One plug to charger, one plug to phone, device in the last.

Just where did you come up with that absurd idea?
While the factory firmware is not configured to mount a usb disk, the device and kernel are both most definitely otg ready.
I've ordered a view different cables to test. Hopefully they will come soon.
