Does Netflix work on Photon using the HDMI to connect to TV?
It should because all the HDMI is doing is taking whatever is on your Photon screen and projecting it to your TV. We already know that Netflix is supported on the Photon so this shouldn't be a problem.
Yep, watched some MST3K and some ST:TNG already

just make sure you have the correct (good) cable. First one I had did not work well, the second one worked great.
TS out
i tried this yesterday and while i thought the capability was cool it does look kinda grainy on bigger TV's because its just blowing up the phone screen image. A way to improve resolution or a custom app from netflix would be really clutch, but I dont want to ask for too much. +1 for hulu working in webtop mode

Saw some detailed photos of the top of the device and only mini jack port was visible.
I'm not sure though.
Any intel on this one?

Yep, its at the bottom, there are some hardware tour hands-on vids on youTube from MWC that confirm it (possibly the GSMarena write up mentions it too).
Great, vertical desktop dock is now possible as well as more convenient car chargers.
Another reason to buy it

omg every second youtube video shows the device in every angle.... and 80% of the MWC videos have the device charging...
Just so you know, this is actually a MHL port. What this does is it can send data as well as video and audio, so it can be used as a micro USB but also as an HDMI.
Pretty nifty, huh?

I assume it's 1080p output, it would be strange if it's limited to 1080i.

Slight correction: no charging from current TVs unless you have a dongle, in which case it will charge and playback on all current HDMI-input capable televisions.
According to a MHL preview video on youtube, it will playback the same as any other HDMI port. So if the phone supports 1080p playback, it will send that output to your tv through MHL port.
I have used phones that had it on the top (Captivate) Left (Atrix) and bottom (Nexus)
I like it the most on the bottom. The Atrix is almost unusable while charging in portrait.

Does anybody know if the note has an adapter and the capability to do this?

If you can stream media to your TV, the included Allshare app works really well for this. (I was really surprised, I thought it was just more useless bloatware)
If you have a Samsung TV this phone pairs up really nicely. Allshare works great, and there is another program called SwipeIt that pushes photos and videos to your tv.
Skifta (which I currently have on my Nook Color, haven't tested it on the Note since it already has Allshare) not only lets you share content with DLNA devices, but can actually act as an intermediary/remote control as well. For example, using Skifta I can tell my PS3 Media Server to push a movie to my Samsung TV. Now if only the TV didn't ask for permission before displaying it...that could be a lot of fun screwing with friends while they're watching something else. :3
yea my TV is a 4 year old Panasonic plasma so the only way to get anything on it is through hdmi.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Yeah ive used the hdmi out from my infuse with my note, a/v both work great even on my 51 inch screen. The samsung allshare app actually works really well if you have any newer samsung components.
Does anybody use their slingplayer with the note? Does it work well? How about using with directv ? Also what app works better with the note? The phone or tablet slingplayer androod app?
Thank you

Are threre any video quality diffrence between the two apps phone/tablet versions?
I mostly want to use this for the dvr shows not so much live tv. I want the tablet app if it has better video quality but not controls for dvr seems like a deal breaker.Is the phone app video quality just as good? I want to make sure before I put down $300+ and $30 for the app.
Thank you guys for your responses

I have been using slingplayer for a long time. Obviously there have been upgrades over the years but I get the best quality video on my Note. I have the Slingbox Solo.
I am using slingplayer with my solo as well. Works like a charm.

Is it possible to put the tablet version of Slingplayer on the Note? The tablet version doesn't even show up on market for me.

I just got the slingbox pro hd and its okay! All the features and function is there but the video quality is okay. I get the same choppy quality in sd and hd. I have it hooked thru component with digital audio and optimum online boost 30 down 8 up in nyc. I'm happy with the box and hope maybe ICS will make the video quality better along with netflix.

I'm using Slingbox-Pro for 7 years and never had any problem with the Tilt II and now I'm using it on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy " Tablet using Android and don't have any problem either.
When I try to use it on the new samsung focus S, The windows phone reqired that you must change the slingbox pro to slingbox pro-HD. I did that, spent $250 for the slingbox pro-hd, it works for 3 months then the power supply input on the pro-hd burned up. Now I switched back to the Slingbox pro and still working good with my android tablet but will not work on the windows phone. I think the windows phone SUCK !!!.I'll switch to the Samsung Galaxy Note as soon it come out. Stay away from windows phones. Regars,
Anyone know of a way to get it to work with are phones. Can't stand letting this beautiful screen go to waste

My Netflix was brought over from the EVO 3D as a TB backup and it works without issues. I'm just rooted, no further customization.
Well I hope they release an official netflix HD app soon.I swear if I hear of a Damn netflix app for that dumb retina screen iPad it may get ugly in here

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.
