Has anyone noticed a decrease in hdmi mirror mode quality since the gb update? On froyo the mirror mode looked horrible on a 720 tv but was fine on. My 1080p set. I was hoping the update would fix the quality problem on 720 sets as the droid 3 displays at both resolutions fine. The gb update has actually made 1080p mirror mode have horrible quality as well is there a fix for this or is it a hardware limitation

What are you guys using to play video to your tv? I have the cable but not the dock. As I understand it, it doesn't make a difference in quality?
Is there a certain set-up for the best quality or just go with the Mirroring option that pops up on the phone? With the tv being a better display, I wanted to clarify if mirroring was exact or can the phone output a higher quality than the screen on the phone is capable.
Apps of choice?
Thanks guys!

To me same rez when I mirror it I have a 42in and it looks just like the phone does but bigger
I tried with my cable which works for EVO. Gallery and mirror both works in landscape and portrait mode. However, the resolution is the same or even worse than the phone screen. My EVO does better for picture slide show.
The HDMI mirroring uses a resolution of 1280x1024 according to my monitor's "info" box. This is approximately 1280x720 (aka "720p") except in 4:3 aspect ratio. I suspect this is upscaled from the phone display's native resolution though.
hdmi not working
I just purchased an hdmi cable plugged into the back of the tv and to my phone and I am not getting anything except the Motorla symbol. Any suggestions.

Yeah maybe cable is bad or isn't compatible...my first cable didnt work so i purchased another 6 dollar one from amazon and mirroring works now. Cant figure out how to get sound though.
My goal is to allow an app to be presented in full 1080p when HDMI is plugged in. I was told that the Prime only does 1080p output when it detects a video is being played. Is there a way to program an app to make the Prime think it is playing video so it can output at 1080p? If not, would this be something that could be changed with root or a custom ROM?
The UI itself isn't rendered in 1080p, so what are you trying to achieve?

TFP HDMI output
Am thinking o buying TFP but an to be able to output Powerpoint slides as well as video via HDMI to HDTV. Does TFP do that? Thanks.
Search for an app that does this. There are various presentation apps to choose from and at least one must provide that capability.
Going from memory here but last I checked display info on my tv everything (except movies) was 1280 x 720. might be wrong but thats what I remember.

I want to use a RDP app connected to a 24 inch monitor at 1080p. The app supports whatever resolution but since it doesn't trigger the Prime's 1080p out, I only get 720p on the monitor.
I posted these questions in AT/T forum but got no answer probs due to lack of consumers actually using the official adaptor, so would love to ask u guys here since im really aiming at using the cable for presentations etc (and spent 50 dollars on it);
1) How do i fix the borders cut off in landscape mode when connected to TV?? If u look at youtube videos every user regardless of TVs have the screen bit cut off even thou phone's resolution is 16:9 720p?
2) Why does it display in 1080p not 720p (screen on galaxy s3 is 720p)? (my laptop using same hdmi cable without adaptor shows as 720p on TV) id like to be able to adjust it
3) My galaxy s3 heats up to 55 Celsius when playing with the phone and mirroring games. Is this normal? (although my alienware laptop heats up same also when connected to TV)
4) There is a abit of a lag between TV and a phone, the phone also seems to lag more when connected to TV (my laptop doesnt experience this)
Bump
Most TVs default mode is to cut off the borders, I find that odd with HDTV because it's digitial. With the analog TVs they would cut off a little border because the edges of the signal weren't always of the best quality, and it makes the picture look a little "bigger" too. On my Samsung TV there is a "P.Size" button (picture size I presume), and I push that until "screen fit" comes up, which shows the full image. On other TVs I've heard using the HDMI port labeled for PC/laptops will come by default setup to not cut the borders, if it's not labeled that way it's normally the port that shares or is right next to the DVI port.
I have the 1080p display issue with the horrible lag as you've seen. If you come across a solution let me know, because it drives me nuts and some games are basically unplayable which is one of the major reasons I got my MHL adapter. For videos and web it works well enough, since a video isn't interactive you don't notice the delay.
The heating up is probably normal, a phone a very dense compared to a PC and doesn't have fans like a PC has, and I bet the display cloning and charging takes up a bit of power.
Just got my new sammy tv with mhl support and more stuff, but have the same problem as you guys. Choppy playback at 1080p30, that really sucks. It shall be at 1080p60. I will give it a try with the other 2 hdmi slots, maybe it will work then. If not, I'm screwed and have to sell my hdmi-mhl-adaptor -.-'''
Really not cool and I cant explain it to myself, why it shouldnt work ((

It seems max output is 1080p30, yet the phone is really nice and smooth on a tv with 720p or 1080i, as it's 60hz. Really annoying that there aren't any settings for the HDMI output to simply select an output resolution!
Hello all,
I have the international Galaxy S3 and I bought a 3rd party MHL-HDMI adapter.
The adapter works great. However the issue that I have (And lots of others) is that when it outputs at 1080p it only does so at 24-30Hz or so.
I haven't heard of anyone getting 1080P at 60hz.
People who output 1080i and 720p get 60Hz which is excellent.
I would love to know if there is a hack/mod/setting that would enable outputting at 720p or 1080i instead of 1080P etc to enable 60hz on the TV
Is there any solution at all?
Videos aren't as smooth as they should be , and while gaming works it is not optimal, clearly a framerate/refresh issue, not performance as the phone doesn't lag or anything.(And it happens with everything)
I'm on stock Jellybean 4.1 ...
Thank you, I am sure many many people would be interested!
Anybody? Issue still exists.
FAQS this forum Q12 first .

This seems to be a very odd bug. If I connect the tablet to a 720p Sony Bravia TV, it falls back to 480p only, which looks awful. However, if I connect it to another Samsung TV, also 720p only, it outputs in HD just fine. This happens when using same good quality Motorola cable.
Is there any way I can force the Nexus to output in 720p? I'm sure the TV and cable support it. Or is there any other workaround?
actually whats even more weird is that I thought its supposed to output to 1080p. but I haven't checked myself.
It does output at 1080p but the OP's TV is only 720p.
To the OP: I don't believe that there is a way to force the output resolution but try looking on the TV end in the settings.
Funny, I have the same exact issue with the same exact TV. Sony Bravia 46" 720p TV. It's a pretty old TV compared to today's standards.
It only outputs to 480p, and the TV has absolutely no overscan settings. It looks like crap. It works fine on my ASUS 24" computer monitor, as well as a brand new Vizio 60" 1080p TV.
Then again, I also have overscan issues with this TV when outputting my laptop to it via HDMI. Maybe it's just too old. :crying:
After seeing this post I remembered I had a HDMI cable from my Motoroloa xt720 (great phone) so dug it out, plugged it in and it works perfectly, 1080p, only small issue is a little bit cut off the screen at the top and bottom But this is only half of the status bar and a little bit of the navigation buttons at the bottom. My TV is a 2011 LG47lw45ou. Must be a TV issue. Going slightly off the subject.. after doing this I decided to plug in a wired Xbox controller using an otg cable to see if I could play the games on the tablet through my TV... it worked straight away with onlive, no controller mapping required at all, bonus!

Have a look through your picture size modes, you should have an exact scan setting that will display the full screen.
