Avoid Tablet Purchase( Use your Phone as Tablet) - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi Team,
I am just wondering in case any one is using XPERIA S as tablet...
I mean to say just attach a 7" or 10" (only lcd touch screen which dose not comes with any processor and ram) to this gadget using HDMI port, and use it as Tablet to read books and play games in big screen.....?
I have searched for it an did not get any result in this forum hence i am raising this post.
Thanks,
Hareesh.L

Because it's plain STUPIDITY! You can hook it up in a 32 inch TV and play with it!

It works on other size tv's too

But what do you say for reading books, I can not read this in 32" TV....

True but if you hook it up to a 3D TV you can read pop up books

Using the Note as a Computer

I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus threads and saw this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--zcmqIyRI and decided I would try it out on the Note. I did this on my Evo when I had one so this isn't a new idea but I kind like it. This isn't an in depth video, it just shows you how it works with what I have working with it. The commands that the Nexus user can use with his keyboard I couldn't get to work with the Note. Not sure if its an ICS thing or what. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laUNz7QJ9Wo&feature=youtu.be
I too have been playing around with this and it is a pretty novel idea. It isn't 100% there yet in terms of being a setup I could use full time, but it does let me travel without my laptop and plug in to a hotel TV.

I am using both an Apple keyboard and track pad in one setup and a Motorola keyboard/track pad combination in another. They both work well.

Is there a way to make the Motorola Lapdock to work with the Note or something similar?
I was hoping to put Ubuntu on my phone and be able to mirror that to the screen.
Any suggestions?

Can you get any of the commands to work from the keyboard like the Nexus? I'm not having much luck there. Might be a gingerbread thing.

I just found an old Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard (it's a small black box that you set on a table, and it projects a full-sized keyboard onto whatever flat surface it's sitting on using a laser) I used to use with my Windows Mobile 2003 PDA and tried to pair it with my Note today. It works flawlessly! This thing hasn't worked with any of my devices since WinMo 5, and even then it usually required a driver to be installed. Not with the Note! Just need to be sure I have the Samsung Keyboard selected (but it doesn't need to be open). I just keep getting more and more excited about this thing (except for the dark splotches on my display and low Quadrant scores).
Ok this is neat for traveling. Anyone know what cable we need to connect to the lcd monitor?

You have to have the MHL to HDMI adapter for it to work. I got mine on Amazon for $22 including shipping and got it within 5 days. Then of course a bluetooth keyboard and mouse..works good. Does your monitor have HDMI?
Edit: If your traveling I'm sure the tv might have an HDMI...unless you stay in a Days Inn as I do..

No problem. Like I said, Its not the first time its been done but I thought I would share and see if anyone had any different experiences than I did.
The Logitech Tablet Bluetooth keyboard/android 3.0+ works nice with the Note.
It even has 3 special keys to enable the menu, home and search buttons.

PlayStation Games...

Hello all you developer guys.... Does the Xperia S supports all types of play station games like ps2, ps3, ps Vita...
If this Supports means how to install it...
If this doesn't support ps2, ps3, ps vita means whether you guys can make it possible
Sent from my MT11i using XDA
Yeah, was wondering if there would be any way to emulate the Play on the x10. It has HDMI and huge CPU power to go with, so the only issue would no hard controls. These could be emulated like Gameboid etc. Playing Wipeout on the train would be epic.
Please do a SEARCH before you post. FYI, when you create a new post, the "similar threads" pre-search would have found them for you already.

You need a really good PC to run PS2 smooth... The phone would blow up before you install the emulator app.

What has this to do with pc emulators?
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
Only the ps1 titles have an emulator built into the Apk. As for the other newer games we have seen true ports already from PSP (loco Roco on ps cert devices in japan) and we have heard that ps2 games are in Sonys master plan to.

Maybe because if a PC can't run the ps2/3/vita emulator (if some of theme even exists, like the vita emulator) for the games properly with translated instruction set (x86 compared to MIPS on ps1/2, Cell BE (PPE only) on PS3, etc), a similar architecture phone (arm) won't even come close to run it as fast?

What's the problem with my age? You really hate me, don't you?
That guy asked for PS2/Vita emulators... I said that he need a very good PC so a PS2 game runs smooth... My cousin with a Intel Core i3 (''Quad''-core, 2.6 Ghz) run it almost as on the console. If we tried to run a properly ported game to the Xperia S, it will ''blow'' the phone, because of the weak processor (Dual core 1.5 Ghz).

Turning my photon into a nexus Q

Ok so I've got my deactivated Photon and I'm repurposing the device as an Android media player. I'm basically trying to make it a nexus Q/Google TV like device. Looking for suggestions on how to best achieve this. I would like to be able to control the device from my phone (Note 2) as the nexus Q allows you to modify it's music queue.
Some background: phone is unlocked, I'm using an HD dock to connect to my TV or stereo.

Buy an HDMI Cable & download an airplay server app from the market (the is one like that)
and an AIrplay Client
Hdmi out on my photon always looked terribly pixelly. I almost could not stand it but mine is locked so maybe custom roms and kernels fix that issue.

Thinking of doing this on a 32" bedroom TV. How are you all controlling it, do you just set up whatever video you want and then plunk it into the dock, or do you have a wireless keyboard/mouse?

Well that's one of the things I'm trying to figure out. If I can get it to behave like the Nexus Q then I could control it from any Android device. Unfortunately I have yet to figure out how to accomplish this.

[Q]Android Game screen to PC

Hey XDA Devs!
I play Dead Trigger and other games on my GNote 2 using Sixaxis. I love the experience it is totally console like!
To complete the experience, I would love to hook it up to a larger display!
The thing is I don't have a TV with HDMI support. I have a PC running Win7Ultimate (x64). I've looked at many apps like webkey and stuff. They do work but for gaming I can't do with that choppy frame rate.
Hope you get what I am looking for. Awaiting your expertise XDAers!

I have used a similar Toshiba unit and it is hell on the battery. I generally use this instead:

Plus with the above unit, you can share it between your phone and tablet or laptop and it serves as an external battery.
