Hi , I'm a Atrix newbie and I have some questions about TV out :
- When I connect HDMI from Atrix to HD Tv , It's run Motorola Entertainment automatically. But I want to share my phone screen to tv (ex: I want to watch movie with an app like vplayer or mobo). How to do this ?

You can, but only in portrait
It's called HDMI mirroring...and right now it's only in portrait mode....just search for HDMI mirroring...

So, i searched and could not find was i what looking for...
Here is what i would like:
1) PC with movie on harddisc (and for instance tversitiy)
2) stream to galaxy tab (have it working with skifta/rockplayer)
3) connect galaxy tab to tv with HDMI connection
Result --> play movie from pc on tv via wifi
O, and what would be great even greater --> use my HTC desire android phone as a remote control (like pausing and fast forward)
What do you guys think.... is this possible????
you could do that with ES files Explorer
- install ES
- select the folders you want to share on Windows
- open ES files and click LAN then MENU--> NEW--> SCANNER--> it should display your computer with the local IP as name (no need to wait for the scan to end just click BACK)
- click on the media file to open and choose stock player to read it
- you know the rest !
if a file doesnt open with a simple press, just make a long press and select "open as" and select whatever it is
not exactly what i ment.
I know how to play movies on my galaxy tab.... question is, can i play these movie also on tv with a hdmi adapter? And next... could i use my htc desire as a remote controle to use?

1. You would need an HDMI cable that you can connect to your tv and tab. But as far as I know and can find out the Galaxy doesn't have or support HDMI output.
See the specs here: http://gadgetian.com/10288/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-specs-price-2/
It could be possible to do if you can find a HDMI mirroring app like the one I use for my eVo4g, as far as I know their isn't one that would work on Honeycomb.
2. As for using your Desire as a remote, you'd have to find a app that could control what ever media player you use, either through wifi or bluetooth. You might be able to find one on the market. You could also try one of those remote desktop apps on the market.

If your tv supports DLNA push then you can use Skifta to stream to tv without any wires.
I don't have a tv with DLNA support, so i connected my tv to pc as a secondary display and i use Skifta basically as a remote control. I use windows built in media server, it supports DLNA push on win7.

and where do you controle skifta? from you tablet and then let it push to the tv?
Not sure if this is exactly what your wanting, but I use VLC Direct pro to play videos from my sg10. 1 or my android phone to play on my computer. The program also let's you control the player and let's you play the videos on your computer. It wasnt that hard to setup just google it.

Skifta is on my tablet, i use it to browse my movie library (it's on my PC) and select play to PC (it outputs picture to my TV). Hope this makes sense, English is not my native language so it's hard for me to explain it.
Basically i sit on my couch, holding the tablet and using Skifta app to control whats playing on my TV.

You will need to purchase the HDMI dongle that samsung offers. It attaches to the bottom connector of the tab. Just like how the IPad's do.

I have few HD movies of resolution 720p stored on my neo v (unrooted)
Now what i have observed is that HDMI output does not seem like real or close to being HD video...I dont know why is it like that ? because the same video looks too good when i watch on laptop which unfortunately dont have hdmi output..
Is it because smartphones arent intended to output the real HD quality on HDTV..or is it that it will take few tweaks or few apps which will make it more like HD..
Contents i use are genuine HD of 720p files over the internet..
Players which i use on my xperia neo v is mx video player as well as power dvd 4.xx(latest version)
Is there any other player which will make some difference when i watch HD videos through HDMI cable..
And yes my tv is full HD so it does have the capability to output all real HD stuffs upto 1080p
I would be glad with the help...thank you !!
Roooting the phone is not a solution for me...!!
The phone puts out its own maximum resolution via the hdmi cable. That means 480x854.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I really dont buy on this...as my tv shows that the output is 720p...and there is nowhere being written over the internet that it shows its own resolution...
Another reason why i dont think is because i do watch HD 720p movies..and there is nowhere screen being cut off on my HDTV...if it was showing on mobile resolution as the output is being recognised as 720p on my HDTV..!!
Thanks though hoping for more replies..with any help..!!

yes we can see that it is upscaled..but what about 720p mp4 videos..are they upscaled too ? or is it HD output i.e. 720p
Read the default prop it tells you fps HDMI output
Also mod it from there
You may be lucky

Why don't you just use your usb cable for watching movies? Does you TV support USB flash drives? Set your phone to MSC mode, and connect it the TV.

yes my tv supports USB drives..it works pretty well with pendrives on my HDTV..however it cannot play any HD files through USB on my HDTV..only divx files supported..
After being suggested by you i set my phone to MSC mode and connected but TV fails to recognise any USB device being connected
So how to overcome that..my phone is non-root does that have anything to do with it..?

My phone connects fine to the tv in MSC mode. Haven't tried movies, but browsing pictures works good. Is it a fairly new or an old TV?

yes you can say that if not much its been 2years old..belongs to LG LH60 series jazz theatre 32'
Picture on HDMI device must be same as on phone display (here is no windowsXP with super videochip with multidisplay support), therefore picture on FullHDTV is scaled 854x480

I can understand for rest of the stuffs on mobile but what about 720p mp4 videos are they upscaled too ?
Why does they advertise HD then ?
offtopic-Does samsung galaxy S2 and upcoming xperia S who have the capablility to output 1080p stuff through HDMI..is nothing but upscaling ?
Hi all!
I was wondering the way to change the hdmi output resolution of my neo v device, and looking for the xda forums and the internet. Also, i was looking for the way to turn off the screen without the tv turn off too, because i have a USB OTG cable and a mouse, and i think that is a stupid thing getting turned on both screens.
In xda forums i only found about the matter for the Atrix 4G ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501414 )
In the internet, i have found this, for the Pov/viewpad10S: ( http://www.grupoandroid.com/topic/21153-configuracion-salida-hdmi-povviewpad10s/ ). As you can see, is in spanish, and i try to translate it:
--------------------------------------------------------
The HDM output of POV Tegra, Viewpad 10s y Advent Vega is configurable, but not easily, it don't have a interface to do it. The olny way I know is through terminal or Gscript. These are the commands to change the resolution:
First su
setprop persist.tegra.dpy5.mode.width #
setprop persist.tegra.dpy5.mode.height #
Where # is the size in pixels. The first is the weight, and the second is the height. Once done this reboot. The default settings are 1920x1080.
You can configure too if we want to see it only through the HDMI output, only in the tablet or in both. We make it with this command. First it's needed to do su to have root too.
Only tablet
/system/bin/nvdmmultidisplay --lcd
Only HDMI
/system/bin/nvdmmultidisplay --hdmi
Tablet and HDMI working together
/system/bin/nvdmmultidisplay --both
--------------------------------------------------------
With my negative knowledge of programming, i understand that neo v have the first by default, and the second is a way to turn off the phone screen, when a tv is plugged in.
¿It can be done in this phone for some way?
I expect that my bad english will not be a problem. Greetings.
Can anybody tell my what is chromecast?
i heared that you plug it to TV and send the info over Wi-Fi from a Device such as android
At first, is it "Mirroring" or similar to DLNA?
i mean it's just for Photos and Videos and vice versa?
I Actually Want to Browse the Internet on My Tablet while viewing it on the TV
Or Precisely, i want to use My Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 as a Mini-PC and this Tab dosen't support USB OTG or HDMI/MHL Capabilities
so Using a Bluetooth Mouse and On-Screen Keyboard with streaming to TV Over Chromecast would be Everything i want
i just want to browse Facebook, nothing else.
Hey guys, does anybody know of an app or a method that will allow me to stream video (not YouTube or Netflix) to my Vizio Smart TV? It's a really new TV with all kinds of features...I know I could simply hook up my MacBook to an HDMI port or even stream video via Apple TV, but I don't usually have those things in my living room. I'm just basically hoping to be able to stream a movie playing from an app like Showbox(or something similar to) to my TV, without any wiring. Samsung's screen mirroring feature would be ideal...if it wasn't limited to ONLY working with other Samsung products Anyways...please, if you can let me know of anything you've heard of, or have used that might make this possible, it would be greatly appreciated!!:fingers-crossed:
Unless Vizio has some type of app for their TV that I never heard of, there needs to be hardware plugged into the TV that receives the stream. Cheapest and easiest way to do this with android is a Chromecast, $35 bucks, I believe it can or soon will be able to fully mirror your screen no special root app required.
you can use the mdl to hdmi adapter from Sammy and keep a spare (but hidden) hdmi cable plugged into the tv. As far as wireless Chromcast
Did you find a solution?
Did you find an App solution for this? I recently purchased a Vizio and looking for the same?
Can some one help me play videos from phone to my vizo 70 inch smart tv I've tried everything the closest thing I've come up with is I media share but it doesn't allow me to watch it always states video, audio not supported
You need something on the TV Side - I used Fire TV stick
Hello everyone, greetings from Poland .
I would like to connect my G3 to LG Flatron W2361V PC monitor because I want to watch videos recorded with this phone (unfortunately, my netbook isn't to powerfull and I can't even watch movie recorded in 720p on it). I have a few questions:
1. What exactly do I need - MHL micro USB HDMI cable (like this one: CLICK) or something else? Allegro in Poland is like Ebay in US.
2. Will I be able to treat the phone like gamepad - game image on the monitor, and control the game on phone?
3. What about watching movies via third party app, such as MX Player? Will this be also possible?
I think this is all for now. I will be very pleased for any help and suggestions about what to buy.
Thank you in advance
1. You need slimport
2+3 it's possible
So I need something like this - CLICK and HDMI cable like this one - CLICK ?
