[Q] MHL cuts off like 2cm on TV. How to fix? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

My TV is a Phillips 47" from 2008. I have the Samsung 2.0 MHL adapter. About 2cm is cut off from every edge. It does this when I connecto my computer to HDMI as well, but I can go into display settings on my computer and adjust it. I'm currently on BMc's 7/14 AOKP build. It did this with my GNex as well and I was never able to figure out a fix.

Is it an OEM one? or some generic one you bought off ebay?

OEM or a really good quality fake.

Is your tv set too zoom in or any special "Format" mode? like 16x9 or anything?

You need to get into your Philips menu/settings. If there is a picture heading, go there and mess around with size/zoom. I can only speak on Samsung and Sony but it seems to me your t.v. isn't set to display 1920 by 1080 right now or you have it zoomed. Make sure it is in 16 by 9.

The phone/adapter are outputting correctly/the same always. Its the TV.
Source: mine worked perfect with 2013 Samsung and Sony high end TVs.

This is what i was getting at with my post, just mess with those settings and im sure you will be able to figure it out.

P.s. the new Sony and Samsung T.V.s(maybe others) come with HDMI ports especially labeled for MHL they allow you to use your remote to highlight/operate apps.
Example would be to open the video app and play a video without ever touching your phone. That is what mhl 2.0 adapter has that 1.0 doesn't.

I think it's set to auto, and my Xbox image isn't cut off using HDMI
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I guess it's the TV. I have a newer 32" in my bedroom, and it works fine.
The 47" only has like 4 options for picture size. 4:3, 16:9, zoom, and auto. Bummer.

Amazon instant video

Confirmed working on my rezound and acer tablet. It didn't work for me before so the question is, did it work for anyone else, or is this a new thing?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Can't find the app that I can load on ics.
Via my HTC Rezound
I'm talking about the web player on amazon.com. I'm able to watch prime videos now. Before now, it would start to buffer, then crap out with a message about supported devices.
This sounds great because already have some movies with amazon. Could you please explain where you found web player and how you got it to work?
Sure. I opened the stock browser and went to amazon.com. Logged in on the full Site, and played a movie.

I have prime, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with purchased movies without a prime membership as well.

Works fine for me too, I also have Prime but I don't see why that would matter.

Same here. I am not sure if it worked before, though. I never thought about trying it. Thanks for the heads up.
No problem. It's about as good as netflix' selection, but with free shipping. Better deal for me!
Still looking for someone to confirm or disconfirm it working previously.
I just tried this and it doesn't work for me. Using stock browser, went to full site of Amazon, logged in, found a prime video to rent and it says I s=do have flash player installed and prompted me to install it. I knew it was already installed but clicked the link to the Play store anyway and sure enough it's already installed. Any ideas on what I can do to get around this. I'm on stock Rezound with ICS update. Thanks!
Make sure that "request desktop site" is selected in your browser settings menu if you have it. If not, try using a different browser like ics+ browser or anything that allows you to switch user agent.

I have two RCA 23 & 19 and in none of the tv's works when I plug the phone, I even tried it in huge SONY 40 in one hotel I had to spend the night once and didn't work neither.
But what do works is:
1 Plug the phone to the tv.
2 Change the HDMI source in the tv ( if you haven't)
3 Shutdown the tv.
4 Turn on the tv. Voila!!!
Let me know if it works. And like this or doesn't matters what settings you have, at least in mine always displays 720p.
The downside it's that the phone screen its always on( I guess we have to see in the screen what we press) and my remote doesn't work( cheap tv). Maybe one HDMI remote will do.

Thanks but turning the tv off and on again but it didnt work. I have to change resolution all the time. And in terms of remote it doesnt work on my lg tv downstairs either

My phone puts my tv into 1080/24p by default, I would imagine your tv dosnt support the default phone resolution. It's a shame the service menu settings don't save as 1080/24p is no use for me either, its fine for watching video content but anything like a game has terrible input lag
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
It works fine at 720p/60 but I have to keep setting it everytime on my tv upstairs. My downstairs tv it works fine on 720p and 1080/24

Can you urgently try panoramic mode. I think there is a major bug. My resolution output in 200kb, same for my friend's S4 Zoom.
---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------
I need everyone's help. When you get the S4 Zoom, take a panoramic mode photo. Check details for file size and post your results. It should be dreadful. If it isnt, let us know firmware.
Some more.

Very nice photos. What resolution did you get using the panoramic mode?
Id be interested to see how it performs in low light with out the flash. thats the toughest test for a camera. By low light i dont mean dark, i mean day time indoors.
Without a diffuser or bounce, flash lighting is very harsh. I like natural looking shots.

XDA HD

This sounds dumb :silly: , but I did not realize that the HD version of the xda app was compatible with the S4 (at least officially). So far, it has been great...way better than that tapatalk 4 abomination. It has the more modern interface (action bar) without the scrolling issues, the stupid settings access, nearly unreadable forum layout, etc. And it is on sale for a buck right now.
sold me. just bought it.
i bought the tapatalk one you referenced and did not care for it.

XDA HD is the niceness. Use it daily. I've actually stuck with PA-based roms (PA, PAC-man, etc.) or leveraged some Xposed AppSettings DPI tweaks to make it work on any device I am using. This was all done after I paid for the regular premium app and realized I would never use it. Regardless, HD does everything I have ever needed it to. I can't think of something it doesn't do that the regular version does.. outside of being less awesome.
I just bought the HD version and I have to say its a lot nicer that the free version

Had the same issue. I opened Youtube and started a video, then turned on my bluetooth on by accident. When I got back on it was stuck. I killed the app by holding the home button and removing from recent apps. Went away after but kinda scary as I couldnt find a setting on this. Seems like it do streaming to external source, maybe tv or something with wifi. Googled this and found its something that are on other phones besides ours.
Youtube why you be making us crazy.
