I ordered a VicTsing Slimport adapter from Amazon -

(I would link, but I can't since I have less than 10 posts :o)

I have a 2009 samsung 50" 720p TV and it was plug and play. Literally no hassle. I used it to watch last night's OSU/Mich college basketball game using the WatchESPN app and the picture was great. There are vertical black bars on the edges of the TV, but they are maybe 1/2" wide, so barely noticeable. NBC's streaming app also looked great.

I did notice that the very top of the screen was cut off by just a hair. Basically the clock and battery in the upper right corner were cut in half. Obviously not a big deal when streaming video.

I was worried because others seem to have trouble with Samsung tv's but I had no problems at all

I order one from Cable Matters on Amazon and it was DOA. Didn't work even with the HDMI cable they sent me.

Ordered this one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F8FGSOE/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_at_ws_us?ie=UTF8

And it came in and works perfectly on all my displays with any of my HDMI cables.

Does the debug mode matter for slimport to TV

I have already tried two slimport adapters without succes and I wonder if the debug mode (PTP or MTP) is of any importance.

I just cannot try it myself because I gave the articles back.

Does anyone know something on this?

Thanks,

samsung tv issue

i got the analogix version and it works perfect with my Nexus5/7(2013) on a 2003 AOC (rubbish brand) 720p tv and a new cheap Polaroid 1080p tv but i cant get it to work properly with my samsung LE46M86BD model tv.

It kinds of flickers on for a few seconds with good pic and sound but then goes blank and displays nothing for a minute or two (repeats this cycle...)

Sometimes its says mode not supported.

Any ideas how to get it working on this TV as its my main one and the reason i bought the slimport.Im using the same HMDI cable from my other TVs that work fine with it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Alestilohomer:
The hdmi cable is 1.4 or lower? I heard that in some samsung tvs the slimport doesn't work properly due to the hdmi version.

This weekend I've tested mine in a Samsung 7 Series with an 1.4 hdmi cable and it worked fine.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dferg:
i 'presume' my cable is lower than 1.4 as it was bought with my old tv in 2003 but im not certain. How can you tell the difference?

Should i try purchasing a 1.4 HDMI cable to try with the samsung tv?

My mate has new PS4 that comes with hdmi would that be 1.4 that i can try?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Alestilohomer:
See the cable, it may have somerhing printed. If it have printed high speed cable it's 1.4, if not, is lower...

The cable that comes with the ps4 must be 1.4, try with it!

I just tried a slim port from amazon and an HDMI cable that just says High speed Ethernet on it. Samsung TV. I got a picture for literally a second or two and then the screen went blank. I'm sending it back and going to try the analogix version and a new HDMIccable. It really shouldn't be this difficult and I don't understand why it's so easy for some and so tough for others.

EDIT: I finally gave up on slimport. From what I could learn it's random if it works or not, seems like Samsung TV's especially have issues with it. The method I've found that works for me after experimenting with 3 products is using Chromecast and the Allcast app. I can play anything at all now with no pauses, hiccups, or freezes. Only $40 total, $35 for the chromecast and $5 for the Allcast app.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] tasty-xda:
I noticed that a bunch of people in this thread were having trouble where they could get A/V to come through for a minute or two and then it would die and the screen would go black (and possibly give an error message like "device not supported" or something like that). I picked up a cheap adaptor and today it arrived and I get the same results (much to my chagrin while watching hockey...).

I'm fortunate enough to have an N5 as well, so for giggles in trying to narrow down the culprit, I tried the adaptor with my N5 and it works just fine for extended periods of time. After a couple of tests, I'd narrowed down my intermittent disconnects to the N7. I wasn't sure if it was a loose connection or a software issue, so I did two things. I applied light pressure on the connector to ensure contact and I changed the settings in Franco's kernel control panel app on a per-app basis and then watched the rest of the game problem free. After the game, I didn't move the tablet at all, and exited the app, made sure the tablet was set to not turn off while plugged in, and then waited. Sure enough, 3 or 4 minutes later it dies on the TV again (thus xnay physical problem yay).

My theory is there is something in how the N7 handles slimport connections and franco's kernel (or most kernels, I don't know) that causes it to temporarily starve the interface of data, which with some adaptors will send a code your TV doesn't like (and thus disconnects). Setting a per-app setting of a minimum CPU value = 594mhz, and the governor set to Performance solved that for me. Assign that profile to the apps I want to leave on and that did it, no more disconnects. Maybe the speed value could be lower, or turn off the Performance mode, I don't know. Once I got it working, I quit dickering with it.

The N7 is on stock 4.4.2/KOT49H. Franco r16 (current at the time). Hope that helps others if you're having problems.

Edit: more testing needed... can get long stretches and normal disconnects with tweaking...

Can i quess? The slimport looks like this? :D

Anyway, thanks man, i read almost all the comments, i never thought that the last would be the ONE!

So there are at least 3 of us, who are having this problem. (the third one: productforums.google.com/d/msg/nexus/o3LTHLbSiv0/vFb3yixTzbsJ)

I have exactly the same situation. (Nexus 7 2013 picture losts after 1-2seconds, Nexus 5 works like a charm). Is there a way to try this with stock kernel? I have root and some experience, i just dont want to buy franco's app for a try.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] bean1975:
I have finally gotten it to work and ... the results are not pretty.

If I use http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=102&cp_id=10240&cs_id=1024008&p_id=3944&seq=1&format=2 this cable and fiddle around with the adapter it works. Or it breaks up. The microUSB connection to the tablet is not solid. I plugged in anoher micro USB cable for testing and sure enough I can move the micro USB connector up-down.

I have tried other HDMI cables that work solidly as HDMI for the purpose of HDMII -- but they do not work here! I have very nice jacketed HDMI cables, ultra thin HDMI cables which work quite well when fed from my laptop but they don't work in this setup.

How come MHL works so much better??
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Q8-V08:
Doesn't the performance gov lock all cores to the max set value "battery waster"? setting a min value is null and void.

Update: Well eitherway it works, streaming and gaming no longer causes it to crap out after 3-30 mins, noticed also it charges properly now as well staying fully charged before it said it was charging but the percentage continued to drop down, thought I had a loose connection or it was being disturbed by emf do to inadequate sheilding. Thanks for the tip :)

Also does anybody get a fake dead pixel in the center of their tv? noticed it while emulating with fpse on a black loading screen transition, my tv doesn't have any dead pixels though because when I switch between video input sources on blank black screens with no signal it's not visable, changing the screen density & resolution causes it to move position as well.

Yes but audio lags / stutters like crazy on video and games, it may be better on n 5Ghz wifi networks instead of 2.4Ghz b/g.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Obveron:
All adapters seem to limit the charging current. I'm not sure this is a limitation of the adapter but perhaps the tablet itselft won't accept more current when outputting video. I wonder if wireless charging would work better while outputting video??
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Aircraft800:
There is one listed in the AppRadio Unchained thread that claims 1.5A, but It didn't work for me. It has a short micro USB lead, I need a 3ft one. I tried a extension but it looses signal. I think wireless charging is also limited to 500mAh.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Krynn!:
Try the Analogix SP1003. It'll support up to 1.5A charging, depending on what power supply you hook it up to.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Aircraft800:
I wish it had a longer Micro USB cord though. I don't want to see the HDMI cable, cleaner install. Maybe I can pop it open, and solder a longer cord, or splice it behind the dash.

FYI, There is a new official SlimPort adapter out now since most of the posts here - the SP1004. You can buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Official-Slimp...eywords=SP1004

This is latest adapter and from what I'm seeing, it came out in around September of 2014. It supports high speed AC charging thru it's USB port and has fixes for reliability etc. I would say if you're looking to buy one of these adapters, this one for sure, is the one to get.

Analogix, the company that actually makes these, lists it as the latest in the series:

http://www.analogix.com/en/products/adapters/sp1004

I guess they had a lot of problems of not only third party adapters, but also knockoffs of existing models. Even the http://www.slimportconnect.com/ website incorrectly lists the prior SP1003 model.

I'll be ordering one this week, for my G3 and my Nexus 7 (2013), and I'll report back.

my order of the USD 11.00 slimport order from eBay arrived (the price includes shipping).

www.ebay.com.sg/itm/331106883094

works fine on both Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013. however i will be using it more on the Nexus 7 2013.

i am still figuring out the sequence of 100% success of outputting hdmi, but once it connects, pretty stays connected solid, no lost display.

its going out to a full HD samsung, there are blank black unused space on left and right side like a margin, albeit the TV detecting 1920x1080 60p. controlled by bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

i noticed though even if the slimport microusb is connected to a Sony EP880 1500mAh and original sony cable, the whole setup discharges. meaning eventually the setup will die, as the discharge is faster than the charge. however when the tablet goes to sleep (display off) it charges slowly hence charge recovery is possible at that state.

it also seems the tablet gets a bit warm, (so is the Nexus5). something like its playing a slightly graphic intensive game.

my proof of concept worked to satisfy my curiosity of this kind of setup, however the whole setup isn't as efficient as a windows connected to the screen. stock chrome font still big, unable to force make it smaller. pressing enter as send don't work with usual messaging apps. multi-window in spite of Floating Apps app still leaves much to be desired.

this is an acceptable setup i guess, until maybe the intel compute stick comes along.

Nexus slimport vs Fire HDX slimport ???

I was successful with the PPA slimport for use with the Nexus 7 2013, twice, then used it briefly with the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. Now the PPA is dead for both tablets.

Bought the Amazon slimport for the Fire HDX; it worked for a couple hours the 1st time (connected to the charger so the tablet won't discharge too rapidly). Tried it on the Nexus 7 & it didn't work!!! For "piece of mind", used the Amazon slimport on the Fire HDX again & it still worked, whew.

May try again on the Nexus 7 to see if it is the Nexus 7 connection that is "out of whack".

Anyway, will be checking with Monoprice for their slimport since the PPA slimport went to the dump. Forgot to say that had 1st tried a cheapo from Frys that is just slimport cable to hdmi for the Nexus which also didn't work; didn't work with the Fire HDX also but think it needed to be connected to a charger like a "regular" MHL that I had to do for the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4.

To get rid of the black bars you need to change your device resolution & ratio to 16:9 by default it's 16:10

and the idiots at google thought it'd be a good idea to output the navbar in non immersize mode.

To fix output for hdmi and casting set the following with Second Screen

Casting: resolution 1280x720, dpi 192
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Arak-Nafein:
Two different devices, with two different intended uses.

Chromecast is a streaming device. It requires internet, and a "controller device". You can't run straight chromecast with just the 1 device. It gets URLs handed to it, then it does the streaming itself. (Sure, there have been various apps that allow you to mirror your screen, but that's not how it was intended to be used)

Slimport is a straight video/audio output. Everything you see on your screen shows up on the TV you're plugged into. This is a much better option if you intend on using your tablet like a PC with a keyboard/mouse. You don't need internet, you don't need wifi, you don't need another device to act like a "remote control". It's straight up video/audio out.

I own both and I use slimport more. It's just less hassle. You plug it in, and that's it. With the Chromecast, you gotta find wifi somewhere(or create a hotspot) and then run the setup app on a third device (Chromecast, phone for hotspot, and tablet for remote control) that's too much work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Warbuff:
Own both. Drag down on notification screen and hit mirror screen and works the same way as slimport on chrome cast
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Arak-Nafein:
I never said it COULDN'T do that. Just that it wasn't the intended usage, and it's much more of a hassle to setup. It was weeks/months before mirroring even showed up on ChromeCast.
