[Q] HDMI output problems - Motorola Photon 4G

HDMI output from my Photon is highly pixelated? Had anyone had similar problems?

Is it a massive screen or somethin? I know it only allows 720p not 1080p

Download ROCKO ROM 3.0 or 3.5
HDMI is rock solid

It`s only a 32" screen. It is full HD though.

Maybe its not the phone, its the video try lowering to 420p when playing that video. Talking about settings on the phone. This happened to me once.

Micro usb at the bottom?

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?

1080i output, no charging with the current devices though.

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.

I actually liked it with my Motorola Milestone... Some apps suck in landscape though, I give you guys that.
lets just hope it doesnt require charging daily

The GOAL is a full day on one charge.
You want the battery to last a week? Buy a dumbphone.

Yes and no. I think they just didn't bother to check the specifics of compatibility.

Are two that sell the one directly made for the Flyer using the extMicroUSB that it uses. The thing I am curious about is... if it's MHL, will a normal MHL cable work? Like the one for the Sensation?
Also the phonearena review actually tested this function and it seems to work fine:
http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/HTC-Flyer-Review_id2747/page/3
Nice thanks for the links
Apparently it can use a normal MHL cable. Here is a review of them where they use the adapter from the Samsung Infuse 4G. If you check out the video part it also shows that the flyer is capable of mirroring automatically. The output resolutions are 480p and 720p. I suggest checking it out because it's neat to see the flyer connecting to an HDTV
The fact that it can use a standard MHL adapter/cable is nice as it means options as far as pricing goes:

Here you go. Honestly it looks great and you can really appreciate the Flyer's screen on this vid as well. Also it seems there's no lag on the HDMI out from the little they show.

Thanks bro
This is great news. I bought a flyer not sure if I was gonna keep it. But the mhl cord seeled the deal. I love it already and I don't even own the pen yet.

Netflix,Photon, HDMI

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

Does netflix freeze for anyone else?

I will be watching it and it will randomly freeze but I can still hear the sound. I'm on alpha 2.1 with the newest netflix. Do I need a different version of netflix?
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using XDA App
Yes, I have to quit Netflix and restart the video to get it to work. Any solutions?
Actually the latest version works perfectly for me. And i watch a lot of Netflix

I havent used Netflix much, mainly because the screen looks smushed because of the resolution. Anyone have a fix for that?
Happens to me to. On my htc sensation as well

I don't have that problem. With one of the newer updates Netflix goes to Tablet mode instead of looking like it's made for a phone. And the video quality is very decent, at least for Star Trek and Spongebob it is.

HDMI Resolution?

I just got a HDMI cable for my photon. Works and all, but the resolution is poor quality. Is there a way to change this?
I'm on the latest 2.3.5 update. Rooted too. Stock everything else.

are you referring to the hdmi mirroring? if so there's nothing you can do. i recommend using webtop and then use that for the web and apps. much much higher resolution.
