Maybe I have a defective one or something but is there anything else besides plugging it in I need to do on a nexus 4? (dl a screen mirroring app?)

I guess you have a defective unit cause you only had to connect it to the HDMI input, no need to do anything else. You should definitely check your nexus 4 display settings just in case. I'm using on an LG G2 and it's start mirroring as soon I connect it. Never had a single issue with it, I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

We have issues with it working all the time too. We'll be watching something and all of a sudden the screen goes black. We unplug everything and reconnect everything and it usually works than. Sometimes we end up having to do this multi times and just end up trying another time. Very frustrating!

I have an lg g2 and i have had to turn off my phone and tv hook up the cable. Then switch to the correct hdmi port. Hope this helps. Also make sure your phone case is not preventing the usb from making a good connection

It should just work. But sometimes with my Nexus 4 it takes a few tries till i find the sweet spot (the nexus 4 qi spot is off center)What kind of qi compatible devices are you trying with?

We have the same problem. I was going to try to find someone to salvage the tablet due to it quitting not long after we got it. But finding someone to replace the screen has been the biggest problem. Even custom shops have not been able to do anything with it. If you find anyone, please share. I wish you luck in your endeavor.

It's running android 4.04 and the screen is the big problem for me, not high resolution like the Google nexus 7 and 10 which are the ones I use the most. The screen looks grainy to me but I'm old with old eyes.

Make sure the media your using is formatted to FAT32 if you're not rooted and using Nexus Media Importer. If you're rooted I suggest the ParagonNTFS app (works great for all format types on rooted devices).

Try to reconnect the screen. The little plugin behing the screen. Make sure that's connected all the way

What is ur build version etc? If you can give it then I will let you know how to proceed with the update accordingly. If you can check my review on Nexus One then you can see if urs is the same as I mentioned. If so, u can proceed. Otherwise, do let me know and I will guide properly :)

Mirroring doesn't work properly with some apps, so the movie will be running on my iPad and the external display at the same time and that does use up the battery faster. I tried to fix this but I think it's something within the particular app that controls the mirroring. Hope this helps.

My screen didn't plug it either check for an aux in port like a plug in for headphones buy a small cable adapter on Amazon to be able to use the cable now if it doesn't have it you may boot want to get it but I am not sure.

Sounds like you are on the right path and are getting good advice. Our screen looked like a broken window/windshield with streaks of missing pixels across the screen spidering out from the edge. Remove the snap on bezel with a thin implement of choice taking care not to crack it/ it is a single piece trim ring that is pressure fit. Then you will be able to inspect the screen and plug. On my model 4 very tiny screws held the screen in place- the best tool for that is what is sometimes called a hobby or jewelers screwdriver, often sold as an inexpensive set at most tool suppliers.

There was an app that you have to use. Should have came pre-installed. Sorry I can't help more. I returned this tablet back to the store.

Ordered this to use with a Nexus 7. No way I can find to make it work. Sadly, having to send it back.

I think its just an issue with the Nexus 7. Google has been doing exchanges, or RMAs for this but the best trick I have found is that when your index finger doesn't work, use your thumb.

It was probably for another model or future update. Also try plugging in a smartphone via hdmi. Doesn't work. It's just something Apex didn't install inside. The best thing i ever did was buy an extended warranty on that tv. It died long ago but was able to replace it with something better for almost nothing.

I am usuing a dlp HDTV with the component cables. I had to manually lower the screen resolution in the android settings to get it working smoothly. I hope to get my HDMI port working soon however on my TV.

Potentially. I've been repairing electronics for the past 4 years, so take that in consideration when I say that replacing the screen on a nexus4 is not an easy job. There are a half dozen tools you would need for the job, and the thing is not designed to be opened and upgraded easily. If you feel comfortable with this kind of repair, then I expect this will fix your issues. However, if your screen is simply not displaying (and the backlight is not coming on) your connection for the screen may have come unplugged, I would open it and check the connections first before dropping 80$ on a new screen.
