in the last entry on the topic (experience begins Androidista) I wrote that in the 2013 version of the connector microUSB implemented functional SlimPort, which allows (through an appropriate adapter) to display the image on the TV screen via HDMI.
But last week received a letter from Sergei from Belarus

Quote

I would like to ask you about the stability of slimporta. I have constant crashes. Can run 5-10 minutes and maybe an hour, if you’re lucky. Please share your experience

Experience I was not (do not use in this mode), but there was – spent the weekend testing, everything works (three hours twisted films while cleaning the apartment). In correspondence with Sergei came to the conclusion that for stable operation of the tablet with a TV output mode, you need quite a full charge, the instability occurs at a low charge.

And this occasion I during their Sunday experiments discovered one important, it is not clear yet, the thing just charging plates.

I already wrote, Slim-HDMI adapter also includes a USB-out, the meaning of which I initially was not clear. It is now clear – he needed to connect the charging.

But here just showed oddity even when watching TV connected to the charger when the battery is reduced tablet! For three hours I had dropped from 66 to 42%.

turned out that Sergey – the same.

Sergey believes that the problem in the adapter (high impedance input current is reduced charging), it seems to me – this is some feature of the tablet battery (powered tablet is not constituted as a netbook, the netbook is a direct mains supply and platshet-only through the battery).

But the fact remains : watch TV 12 hours after the tablet will not work – food still “sit.” Strange, but so.
