Broke the glass of my Archos 101. I dont want to spend money on it. Is there anyway I can default the output to HDMI so I can use it on my TV? Since I cant see anything on screen (on account of the fact that i stepped on it)
Thanks guys

Simply by plugging the lead in you should output to HDMI, that's how it is on my G9. The tablet screen remains on but the display is mirrored on my TV

Sounds like you've done more damage than just breaking the screen.

my mini hdmi conector was broken,so i used another conector and it worked
sory guys but i have been bussy
love my archos kyre
Great! Enjoy!!!
you guys shouldnt worry, its real simple. just plug in the hdmi, click the widget to switch to tv and click ok once the screen switches.
angry birds is tough but im gonna try with a mouse at some point.
but i streamed the first episode of pens/caps winter classic in standard def and it looked fine, luckily found the 2nd episode in 720 and played that right from the internal storage and it looked fantastic.
then did a little super mario world and the audio kind of sucked but the game played fine on the big screen
One good thing to know :
I've tried the HDMI output on several TVs (love to show my new toy to all of my Apple friends )
BTW sometimes when you plug the HDMI before switching the TV to the right input the TV doesnt recognize the signal.
So before switching to the TV from the Archos always do in this order :
- Switch TV to the right HDMI input canal
- Plug the HDMI wire
- Click on switch to TV
Never had an issue doing it in this order. Not saying that I was very worried the first time I tried as I had a "input not recognized" message Doooh !
I ordered the MHL adaptor from T-Mobile's website yesterday, so I should get it today (yeah, I paid the extra $6 for overnight shipping).
Does this phone support FULL mirroring (i.e., when plugged in to TV, TV screen mirrors whatever is on the phone's screen)? I used the full HDMI app on my Evo 4G, and it was great for watching shows from HBO GO on my TV.
Has anyone tried it yet? If not, is there a review out there somewhere that specifically demonstrates this feature?
I guess I'll know tonight when I get home from work!
Thanks,
Rob
I haven't seen it specifically on this phone, but I've seen the Qualcomm MSM8660 demos showing full mirroring. We should be capable of it, but I haven't tried it out yet.
I'm surprised nobody's tried it yet!
Can you use the normal micro HDMI or do you have to buy the adapter to use HDMI? Lol kinda confused how this works with the new port? Could anyone explain? Thanks
You need to buy an adaptor. Basically, it's a dongle that plugs into the USB (charger) on the E3D. The dongle/adaptor has a HDMI port on it, along with a USB port. You plug an HDMI cable into the HDMI port, and into the TV. You plug a charger into the USB port and into the wall.
So no, the HDMI cable from the EVO 4G (I have one too) won't work.
Does that help?

Back to the issue at hand... does it do HDMI mirroring or not? I have this bad ass HDMI integration in my Prius that is preventing me from upgrading from the 4G until at least HDMI mirroring is confirmed.

According to this demo from CTIA it appears it can, but this is unfinished testing hardware/firmware so it's still not a confirmation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ynmqtopi9g
This doesn't exactly give you an answer with the level of certainty you are looking for but it's a good sign. We should see some end users with feedback on HDMI features on the production phone streaming in any time now that hopefully confirms that it can do this across any application without problems or limitations.

hey rtmeikle . I also got the mhl from tmobile. I hooked it up last night to sadly find out that hdmi mirroring is not supported at all. It was all a big hype it appears. Were you able to get it working? I'm hoping that you were so maybe its just my device....if not, then this phone is going back.
Yep, I got mine yesterday and tested it. It works fine.
You have to have the adaptor plugged in to the phone, a charger plugged to the adaptor, and the HDMI cable running from the phone to the TV.
I got full HDMI mirroring which automatically switched to landscape when I tested Netflix and HBO Go.
Rob
interesting. thanks for the quick respond. When i connect it to my hd tv all i get on the phone is a message that says *HDMI play a video or slideshow to display via hdmi* on the notifications bar. When I click that, nothing happens...

Strange. The image of my home screen just popped up on my TV; I didn't have to do anything.
I tested it on the TV in my bedroom, a 3-yr-old Samsung 42" Plasma, nothing fancy.
Maybe tonight I'll test it on my other two TVs and see if it works on all of them.
did you allow the latest OTA upgrade or did you cancel it? I allowed it as soon as I turned the phone on. I also tried it on my 58 samsung plasma hdtv. Its not that old but also not that new.
I'm going to try it tonight on my smaller 32 inch lcd hd tv to see if that makes a difference. It shouldn't though.
Not like it matters since all MHL cables are the same but here is the MHL adapter I'm using: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...4ec1-a08e-e133fa772d53&inCart=True&catCode=23

Yep, I've accepted the OTAs. And I'm using the exact same adaptor. Did you plug power into the adaptor too? I didnt' try without plugging it in, but I've heard that it needs to be plugged in to work.
Ok, i finaly got it to work. It wasn't a problem with the phone but a problem with the tv. I had to change some resolution settings on the tv and presto! Hdmi mirroring on its full glory
Now, do you know if I can pair up a bluetooth keyboard and mouse? Thats next for me.

This is what I am currently doing. I have hooked up the following.
Mouse: Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Keyboard: Logitech MX5500 Keyboard
The keyboard works great. I can type in the applications and setup my keys in the emulators just fine (snesoid etc)
Mouse functionality though is different then you may expect. You don't get a mouse cursor, it just "highlights" selections then you "left click" to go forward. According to my research the right mouse button is supposed to "go back" but is not working for me.
I put up a thread asking others for help with it, so if I find an answer I will let you know.
Updating you on what I found out about the mouse.
"Well it looks like the fancy mouse support with a cursor and button functionality was something that was included in CyanogenMod 6.X then removed on CyanogenMod 7.
They then added a patch for version 7. But now apparently it is being included in his latest CyanogenMod.
Regardless, it appears you need root access "
wait so how do you charge your phone if you use that hdmi adapter? anyone have a link?

the adapter has a USB plug that you use to hook up to a charger, and will charge your phone. Newer TVs are coming that will support charging over HDMI via the MHL adapter, there may be some out but I think will be a standard in 2012 TVs.

the HTC one looks lke it includes a HDMI cable, too, but you can see the usb port on each adapter for charging.
So I got the HDMI cable from electroniccrap.com. I have a 720p TV and I only get a blank screen with no sound when I connect my gtab to the TV. However, I do know the gtab is detecting the HDMI cable because the sound from the gtab goes out when the cable is plugged in. I suspect the TV is not capable of handling 1080p signals. Is there a way to downgrade the signal to 720p ?
Sounds silly but wiggle your cable, i thought mine wasn't working but the cable for some reason just needed a little nudge and it started displaying the video.
Known Issue
It is a known issue that SOME 720p TV's won't accept the signal. I have a 50, 42, and 32 inch samsung lcds and plasmas, all work except the 32" lcd.

No, Tegra2s are set in hardware to output 1080p (unless you want to buy additonal hardware like a scan rate converter...(costly)
HAve you tried it on another TV, or tried anpther 1080p input to your TV?
I took the advice from one of the posts above and wiggled the cable here and there. I must have tried for at least 3 hours. Guess what? The cable works only when I hold it at a certain angle , pulled upwards and to the right. I immediately lose the image when I let go.
I sent the cable back for a replacement.

Hi. I just bought an adapter from to connect from the "bottom" 30-pin output (in this case) to a HDMI cable. Thing is, my TV (also a Samsung, btw) will not recognize the HDMI connection, which works perfectly with my laptop. So, I suppose I have missed something here, most likely something quite elementary. Any hints, please?

Did you also attach the power adapter ?
I had the same thing when Trying to connect via the 8.9 dock. You need external power for hdmi to work
External power? As in plugging into the 30-pin thing, which is already taken by the HDMI adapter? (Now I'm SURE I have missed something . . )
Ah - the power adapter! Well, I knew it had to be something elemental! That being said, I can't say this seems like an easy (nor elegant) way of doing things, but it works. At least.
Thanks to the both of you!

Would like some light shed on the matter, how am I supposed to connect the Power adapter while the 30 pin port is taken by the HDMI adapter?

You need a micro HDMI cable. But that is all. You don't need a dock. You can pick up Micro HDMI cables at Verizon stores, or online. Most everything will mirror, but things like HBO GO app, and Sprint TV will not.
Bought my hdmi cable off Ebay for two bucks.... But thing is in mirror its stretched and blocky..... Not expected from hdmi. Is there a fix to this?

Yes, it's upscaled from 960x540 and even with full hd upscale, it's looking bad, only fix I know, is using mirroring through webtop, it looks much better there.

Yes, I have noticed that it is a little pixelated over standard HDMI. As for being stretched, you want to check the aspect ratio that your TV is using. There should be a button that something like "pic size" or "aspect ratio". It will give you options like 16:9, 4:3, zoom, pan & scan, and maybe zoom 2 or something. Make sure that you are on 16:9.
The other thing is that although the interface looks bad, once you start playing a movie, or game, they usually look a lot better. Those run better when webtop is not running. But if you are browsing the web, or something like that, run it through webtop. You can use the webtop over HDMI hack found in development.

you could always download the "nebtop.apk" assuming u still have webtop installed. this gives way better picture! and eliminates the need of a dock
