Isn't it possible for our h4xx0r friends to Change it to real 1080p? Now it looks damn ugly on my 1080p LCD.
Moved to general as not android development.

Can this be something of value?
Perhaps it's possible to do it the same way as LG Optimus 2x, which has a specific application that can switch output. See this video.
I'm finding the current output on the Folio a bit disappointing.
I think we should be able to output 1080p since the hardware does support it.

Love the atrix. bought the doc and its all high quality stuff..
issue: when i plug in the dock it seems like my monitors must be old or something because on my main 42" lcd, it can't display the correct resoluion, and on the other computer monitors it can only display the 'wrong' resolution meaning my 1920x1200 monitor can do the 720 tall, and the other 1080p monitor gets forced on the 768 tall res..
is there a way to set the resolution so it matches natively with one of our monitors resoluion standards? i plan on makin this phone my media center but its all outa wack on aspect ratio and blurry as hell due to the re-scaling. can't seem to find the resolution setup anywhere. when you first hook up a new monitor, it gives you the option (maybe 2 mabye 6 different res to choose from) but none of those work except the bad stretched out ones.. and hell yo ucan't get back to that screen ever again!
Nope. It really only works well with a big television or a really small LCD monitor. In which case, why not just get a PC? Im finding it difficult to use this dock for anything really. It isnt good at any single thing.

got a super cheat dynex 1080p tv that supports the phone webtop application perfectly. nice and clear. now my main issues are as follows:
1. upnp - mkv's wont play
2. hulu is a bit sluggish but does play smoothly when it gets moving.
3. samba working great but again, need way to play mkv's on android
4. netflix states that the browser version is not compatible! sucks.
works great for a back room media server and the cool factor is tops.
Convert the mkvs to WMVs. That seems to work the best for me and keeps original quality. I had to convert my 1920x1080 movies to 1920x1020 because the webtop seems to zoom every move on my plasma and I cant do anything about it. So by reducing the height of the video, it now fits perfectly on a 50 inch plasma.
I just bought an HDMI output cable for my X2 and I am unimpressed with the results. The resolution looks grainy and all the videos look bad. Am I missing something?
I have a 2011 LG Plasma 50" 720P TV.
Well, it starts with your TV not being the greatest resolution, and being a large size. What are you trying to watch? If you are streaming Netflix and things like that, they have been having issues with it streaming in HD. Are you running any ROMs? It also depends on the quality of the HDMI cable you are using. It does make a difference.
I have grainy issues when running some eclipse versions. When stock or on a certain eclipse version I get better video quality o er HDMI...also seems like if I lower the overscan quality seems better but that could just be in my head
I think the X2 HDMI Mirroring just upscales the phone's display without any sort of smoothing. So you get an effective resolution of 960x540 outputting at 1920x1080 with each pixel showing up 4x as big.
If any application actually supports video-out (maybe just the BLUR gallery), then it may output at a real higher resolution. But due to no standard on this sort of thing in Android, no application really supports video out and Motorola really did a crappy job with their mirroring service.
Does RealHDMI or Xternal Display do a better job of this?

those are both for the original droid X, and would disable the internal display and output over hdmi. X2's built in mirroring is better than that.
It is supposed to output at full 720p.
Actually it's supposed to be full 1080p output. Mine works pretty well.

This is one of my pet pevs as well. The picture quality on the phone is always better than the picture quality on the tv. It doesn't matter if I am hooked up to a 720 tv or a 1080. Same poor quality. Not hd like the phone

+1 it says its supposed to output to 1080 but with all the pixelation it looks like it just upscales to fit the tv.

Our native res of 960x540 is actually an hd standard and should look pretty decent when scaled to 1080 as it is exactly half.
Mine also looks lo-res. I'm mirroring to a 21.5" monitor (1080p) and the image looks pixelated. Not using the best cable, but it shouldn't look like it just stretches to fit the screen.

Had anyone else tried.lowering the overscan in phone settings>hdmi
I mentioned it earlier but can't tell if its just my.mind playing tricks on me.
also I've noticed it seems to look better if I put the tv screen setting to normal instead of widescreen or fit to screen.

Our phones resolution is half in each side so it is a quarter, hence "qHD".
The video signal the phone is sending is 1080p, but the phone is just scaling the internal display.
This is compared to the ipad2 (and maybe iPhone 4s) quick just mirrors the screen resolution without scaling in a 1080p signal giving big black borders. But apps can output true HD over the same connection, if they're programmed to.
anyone find out if there is a way to adjust the scaling form this device? did anyone make a rom that can do anything fo this problem?
Hi guys,
I have a doubt regarding the video playback of our galaxies... I'm checking the MHL output, and I have a couple of questions.
The TV reports 1080i, although I'd like to choose 720p, if that's a possibility. In the end the TV's native resolution is 720p.
Also, I'm afraid the video quality, although nice, isn't really hidef. I feel the video is downscaled to the resolution of the phone's screen (800x480), then upscaled to 1920x1080 for the MHL output (and then downscaled again by the TV to 720p). I'll have to say, the result isn't bad, but far from good. Do you know any way to play a video either at 1080p or 720p? Is there a way to choose the MHL resolution?
Thank you!
Hi, i got the official S3 hdmi adapter and i only get 1080I, how can i get 1080P
I have a 1080P 55" sony 240hz led.

maybe it outputs 1080p (progressive) at 30 hz only
But my tv supports 30hz, how would i make it choose 1080p and not 1080i?
and the hz are selected automatically depending on the source.
I tried my dell 24" 1080P monitor, it displayed too at 1080I, not 1080P.
Help, i want 1080P
Afaik it's not capable of such a high-bandwith format, and "only" supports up to 1080i.
So no can do as a forum search should've shown.
some people have said it works at 1080p for them in other forums.
Anyone?
Well i think it has to do with how the phone communicates with the tv.
I am only able to get 720p output. I have a 2007 westinghouse 47inch 1080p capable tv. For comparison i have a samsung droid charge that has direct hdmi2hdmi ability, and on same tv i get 1080i output, i am using oem samsung hdmi mhl adapter.

I have the official MHL cable and it outputs at 1080p at 30hz, however i don't want this display type, ok yea great if i want to watch movies, but i want to play tekken with 2 pads, all i need is the mhl to do it's thing.
60fps would be amazing, however i don't believe that it's possible.
Being bottle necked at 30hz on 1080 i / p or even 720 p is just not acceptable, infact it's a kick in the teeth for the £27 i paid for the thing.
Movie's are great, games not so good, although the jelly bean update i just got did help somehow.
By the way i'm using a 47 inch 1080p capable 3D TV
You get full-hd (1080) resolution, but only at half the frequency of 1080p.
However you should keep in mind that
a) this is a phone
b) your eye is only capable of distinguishing ~24 images per second.
infact it's a kick in the teeth for the £27 i paid for the thing.

Please tell me more about how the fact that your phone is capable of playing content at Full-HD on external screens is a "kick in the teeth"

Because it is !!!
Other phones, ie: the iphone is capable of running games at their full potential speed using their AV link cable, which is just wonderful when i hear it from my friends who have iphones / ipads.
Movies is one thing, but to have the ability to have two pads linked to my phone via bluetooth, the ability to play an age old game on a psx emulator on my phone, I then go out and buy an MHL cable thinking that I can play it at the speed the phone is delivering and then it falls on it's arse and runs at a pitiful frame rate due to it running at 30hz and not mirroring fully, that in my opinion and many others is a kick in the teeth, it should have been thoroughly tested by samsung and not just thrown out there, and for it not to be properly looked at, the £27 price tag i paid for it, is overpriced and not worth the money.
Also about your thoughts on the human eye only having the ability to see 24 frames per second, that has nothing to do with it.
The human eye for all it's faults is still capable of seeing a difference between 24 - 30 or even 60+ fps so having a framedrop is not just noticable it's annoying.
Also the galaxy s 3 is not just a phone, it is a smart phone it is also worth £500 and capable of much more than just making and receiving phone calls, so no not just a phone, it's a device capable of much more.
When a device like the S3 has a peripheral like the MHL cable, promising mirroring of the device onto a HD TV, you tend to believe it, well i paid for it and i wished i hadn't because although it does what it says on the tin to an extent, however it does it with latency issues and input delay, rendering gaming obsolete, which is the main reason i bought this thing.
No 1080p and even no 1080i
Guys
Believe it or not the adapters that we buy from ebay or other outlets are not original although they seem to be. They have a galaxy s3 sticker on the box and Samsung usually does not produce a premium product with a sticker on the box to show it is for galaxy s3.
Anyway, even if they are original they are not able to output 1080p. TV reports 1080i but if you watch full hd (1920*1080) videos with them and you focus on the screen you can easily see that the video is played at 720p not even close to 1080p or i.
Samsung has announced that you can watch full hd videos and 1080p output. but these adapters are not able to provide such performance.
Apparently, the original packaging from samsung should look like this:

Interesting. Mine looks like the one in the video below and has a sticker on the box. I have only used it once and was happy with the result. Could it not be that Samsung hadn't produced the boxes for the earlier released product as my actual lead looks the same.

The actual product looks similar but they must be copies since you can buy them for $20-$25 while the original product from Samsung is about $38. The original products have Samsung hologram on the box. However, have you investigated if the output of your cable is 1080p or not?

I have a hologram on mine, bought from a samsung retailer.
But either way i've seen different results yielded from the cable. On my Viera it's 1080i @ 60hz and on my LG it's 1080p @ 30hz, on some HDMI cables it doesn't work at all.
So yea it's a weird one.
Good for movies, utter useless for gaming. Unless it's a slow game, slight input lag.

They are all blocky and jagged. i think the phone is doing HDMI mirror and upscaling to 1080/24p. However, video playback looks good. Is it possible to change HDMI out resolution? The dev at HTC EVO managed to get change resolution in the kernel. We have the kernel source too. Can we do the same too?
