Hi, I'm trying to connect my phone with the HDMI cable i've got in box with my full hd tv.
Everything seems to work great - except it seems that my phone slows down noticably - in games, ui responsiveness, everything - i take it may be because outputs 1080p signal to the tv and tries to upscale it?
Did anyone notice that ui responsiveness is not that smooth when the phone is connected to their tv? I was thinking there might be a way to output 720p signal to the tv instead ?
Anyone else experienced this?
It connects at 720p by default.
Ive had it connected to my Monitor at 1080 and 720 and the phone still runs great at either resolution
Can you configure how it connects ? my tv reports 1080 resolution when i plug it in.
And i have like 1/3rd of performance - especially if i try to run any game like cut the rope.
yaeh , just tested again, connects as 1080p and when its connected even scrolling of options or bringing up top dropdown bar is not fluid anymore.
What verson of firmware do you use ? Mine is 6.0.A.3.62.
Ive tried to change the "output quality" setting, but it doesnt seem to do anything in my case. I can only set scaling of phone screen on tb 80%-100% regulation.
Ok, so i've found a "scientific" measurable way to test.
In quadrant (free test in market) i get following results:
Without tv plugged in: ~3100, flyby in room with stairs 30-50 fps
With TV plugged in: ~2700, flyby in room with stairs 20-25 fps so only 50% of what i get normally and it has visible frame skip
Can someone check that on your phone and post your results?
I will give it a try as well when I am done with battery test.

Mine was:
Without tv plugged in: 32-42fps score: 3183
With tv plugged in: 23-26fps score: 2876
Hmmm...
ok so we do have a problem then, since your results confirm mine ....
Now i only hope this is some kind of firmware/driver issue,
Games are completly unplayable (at least for me) when phone is plugged to tv, even simple ones like Canabalt from humblebundle ....
Would be good if someone with firmware different than .62 could post their results.
Quick test with Angry Birds:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auksuKwrGsE
Still on .67
Yup, I can easly see 0.5s delayed response to your finger on the movie.
Ok, any ideas what now? I'm trying to contact Sony support but so far no luck.
This is completly unacceptable for such expensive phone.
So this 0.5sec delay is what's bothering you?
Bothering? this renders this phone useless for any other gaming except things like angry birds where you dont have to react on time - besides some other games like canabalt (where you have constantly scrolling fast screen) lag and drop frames like crazy - totaly unusable. Even "cut the rope" where you need to be precise is non-playable.

Check out this video on Xperia Arc S - in the end they run Angry Birds Rio and there is no problem like this present.
I also think that running "ubuntu for android" and using is would be a very bad experience with this kind of issues
So yeah... im pretty bothered overall with delay and 50% framedrop.
Got response from sony support that they got notified about an issue and there will be be a firmware update in next 10 days that i hope might correct the issue.
Dziękujemy za kontakt z pomocą techniczną Sony Ericsson.
W odpowiedzi na zapytanie pragniemy Pana poinformować, iż Pańskie uwagi zostaną przekazane do odpowiedniej komórki operacyjnej i uwzględnione w najbliższej aktualizacji, która pojawi się na przełomie marca i kwietnia.

In my case ! Since i also see this problem, I solve the problem buy not using "TV launcher" I use task manger and i kill this app and i can say that fair improve
but every phone have diffrent app installed other app my influence that as well
I got only 4 screen of apps so not alot!!!
So dont blame me if does not help
BTW
i got hdmi control setting unticked as well

I have to admit, that's a good point. I haven't looked at this from this point of view. Now we have to wait for fix, or maybe there is a way to make it work properly.
Yeah, its interesting to me, that the video of Xperia Arc S i've posted above seems to indicate that the phone doesnt have any issues when connected to tv. So im hoping its something easly fixable with software.
I have uploaded new, longer version now, icluding Angry Birds, Quadrant and video playback:
Sony Xperia S - HDMI TV-out delay - Angry Birds + Quadrant + Playback
Found another one as well:

Awesome work, now it would be great if we could get attention of someone who made custom roms for Xperias - Maybe they would have a better idea whats going on. On posted videos the problem is more visible.
Im not sure if its really "input lag", i would rather blame some kind of rendering problem - input lag is probably a side effect of this.
I don't have mine yet but could it be because the phone's having to render to 2 screens (one at 720 and one at 720/1080)?. Doing this on a pc increases the load on the system even if the screens are cloned - it would be the same on the phones/tablets as well.
From the little testing I did with my Archos 70 before giving up on trying to get it doing HDMI out reliably (wonky £1 adapter at fault maybe) I found that turns the internal screen off and just uses the touch area as a trackpad so as to give maximum performance to the output.
Now the specs of the Archos 70's are a bit poor at best but it does what I want it for - playing music and video while having a nice big 250gb drive. The specs on the latest round of phones should certainly have the power to run 2 screens without issue. However, any resource intensive work (games for example) would degrade performance in such situations.
Are there any similar problems when playing back video?
Maybe try some less intensive games like Robotek or Frozen Bubble?
I would rather say, there is a delay only. When watching above videos, what comes to your mind first? Delay or lag? I would say there is a delay, because picture is rather smooth. So in that case, it would be a matter of changing some settings, rather than phone can't perform running two screens. Arc s can do it, so Xperia S should be even better.
Not having used either handset and with what you've said, I'd say it's more than likely to be a software issue somewhere. Going by Sony's recent behaviour with updates and support little problems like this should be resolved sooner rather than later.
This is what is drawing me to the Xperia for my next handset as HTC seem to just abandon things once something new is out.
Once I get mine I'll hopefully be able to help out a bit more with stock rom problems.
The way the bug works is that when playing on a poco f1, when you try to turn around or look around without using the dedicated shoot-whileturning buttom, the game decides to freeze for a short second before actually looking towards the desired direction. I do not knoe if this glitch is exclusive to the poco f1 however I have played on a Samsung S8 before and the bug does not seem to be present. Overall it makes the gane feel choppy despite the SD 845 processor I have. Just now its 1 question, is it solvable?
i play with a controller and don't have this problem... maybe it's touch-related?!?
I have made this thread since a lot of problems which are currently plaguing the POCO F1 are not being discussed properly on XDA. I intend that people will relate to the issues i am posting here which are still unfixed.
1. SLOW CHARGING
The charging speed on the poco has reduced due to thermal throttling. As soon as the battery temperature hits 37, the speed drastically reduces. I can confirm this and i have extensively tested it. I put my poco in front of an air conditioner which reduced battery temperature and the charging bumped upto 2700-2800mah.
Now thermal throttling is good(Especially since its summer season in India) but they should increase a thresholds a bit. My brother used a Asus Zenfone5z and my dad uses a Galaxy S10. On both these sets the charging throttling is not so harsh.
The narrow tolerance range of temperature while charging has lead to extremely bad charging times. This needs to be fixed.
2. Audio Issues ( Especially PUBG)
Try wearing earphones while playing PUBG in a poco and in a different phone. You will instantly notice how muffled/low the sound is in poco. You can barely make out the direction from which the footsteps are coming or the gunshots are being fired. I never realized this untill i played PUBG while wearing earphones in other cellphones. The sound in poco earphones is extremely low. I am not talking about songs in which case the sound loudness seems to be fine. This is mostly the case while playing games.
3. Speakerphone Loudness
I swear the speakerphone loudness had decreased over time. The poco was plenty loud at the start. Now the main speaker loudness just sucks. Whether its watching youtube, netflix or anything else. They have definitely decreased audio volume. Speaker generates considerable amount of heat. Try watching a movie which is already downloaded on your cell and after sometime you will notice that the hottest area to touch of the whole phone is around the main speaker(and not the cpu or gpu).
This makes me wonder whether the main speaker quality was bad right from the start and Xiaomi actually lowered volume to help avoid any issues. In any case, watching youtube is not as fun as before due to low sounding speaker now.
4.Touch Screen Issues
Well what to say about this. I mean there are tons of thread about this already. Xiaomi just release new touch drivers in Miui beta 9.5.6. This means they are still trying to fix touch issues even after almost 9 months of launch. Whether it is multi touch, ghost touch or missed touches. Poco has it all.
The reason is simple. Poor quality touch sensor. Its a hardware issue. Poco had to cut corners somewhere and the touchscreen was the component which took a big hit. The display quality of poco is general is also not good. But i am not complaining due to what all the poco gives at the price point it sit in.
But the touch sensor should not have been compromised with. This is something unacceptable. The general usage experience of the poco due to touch issues is really bad. It frustrates me daily. I have tried tons of custom firmwares too. But then the issue has to be fixed(if at all it can be ever fixed) through vendor firmware. Custom roms or kernels will never fix it. The most major issue of Poco f1-----------still unfixed----its terrible touchscreen.
5. Auto Rotation
I am not sure if many people have noticed this but the auto rotation while using youtube is extremely bad. This is something i won't be able to explain properly but can say this that i am sure many of you find the auto rotation in youtube not to be a seamless experience. This is not the case in other phones.
The accelerometer in general works fine. So i am mostly sure that this must be a software optimization issue.
6. No 4g+ Vodafone
I don't know whats the deal here but poco will never catch 4g+ in Vodafone. At the same spot other phones from nokia, samsung etc does but poco does not. My poco catches 4g+ in Jio but not Vodafone. No matter the spot, the finding remains the same. How can two different manufacturers produce two different results at the same spot even when both the sets in question have lte advanced capability.
I can only assume that there must be some internal issue between xiaomi and Vodafone due to which poco does not support 4g+ in Vodafone. If any1 reading this post has latched onto Vodafone 4g+ successfuly while using a poco please let us know.
P.S.
Using POCO F1 64GB/6GB Indian variant running Miui Global Beta 9.5.17. These issues have persisted through both stable and beta builds and i have tried all.
I have the Global version of the F1 running Stock MIUI 10.3.4.0 locked bootloader and have not encountered any of the issues you are having.
I had touch problems playing PUBG on poco where the screen just froze and i couldn't do anything, locking and unlocking the phone worked sometimes but it still is a problem
Also had thermal throttling playing pubg for more than 20 minutes, fps dropped down and phone got hot
I don't play any games on my phone anymore so these aren't problems for me anymore but there is one big problem and that being the "call echo" , almost everyone who i had a call with complains about hearing their own voice and it's very annoying, so I'd say this is a very important issue and needs a fix immediately
You must be on stable build then. The echo is fixed in beta builds. Can anyone confirm this??? I am not entirely sure but no one is complaining about echo now to me. Was complaining earlier though.
I can confirm for the speaker loudness issue with listening to songs through headphones or earphones the sound is good.
But the speaker is not that loud and i constantly need to keep changing volumes when watching YouTube video through speaker.
In pubg i need to keep the sound at full through earphones then only its usable.Before this Poco i was using Zenfone Max Pro M1 and its sound quality was lot better as compared to poco at least with speakers and in pubg,i never used to keep my sounds more than 60-65 %.
Nice topic!
Anyways I'm completely agree with your point 1,2 & 3.
For Point No. 4 I didn't face any touch issue yet. I bought this device 21 sept. 2018. But I heard that many people have touch related issue. So maybe I'm lucky one.
For Point No. 5, I didn't face any auto rotation issue till date.
For Point NO. 6, I don't have vodafone But I saw a screenshot of poco f1 somewhere, It shown 4g+ at status bar with vodafone network.
I'm on miui global beta 9.5.9

They have definitely reduced speaker volume. Though its not that bad but its lower than before and as you said, while watching youtube etc, slight background nooses ruins the whole experience. It was louder before for sure.
However, the audio in pubg while using earphones...the difference feom other phones is MASSIVE. People need to check other phones to realise what i am talking about.

Auto rotation is a minor issue in only youtube... Not that major i agree... Lucky you got a touch issue free device.
Touch issues are there thats why they recently released new touch drivers in 9.5.6.
Can you share that screenshot bro??
The only major issue I have for now is audio loudness, I used to listen songs on YouTube at around 80% volume but after recent updates even full volume feels insufficient. Also I feel BT volume has gone down though I am not sure about it.
Touch issues are there for me too but I dont play any game so its a minor thing for me

I think they reduced volume so as to generate less heat. Speaker generates good amount of heat. Maybe high volume would have lead to high heat and damage to speaker..
Ghost touch on notch
Ghost touch issue on pocophone especially on the notch area is making me sick. Is it a hardware or a software issue? Ive tried all the suggested troubleshooting methods like disabling the 3fingers slide screenshot but the problem is still evident.
Screen, audio issues
I have read a similar problem of mine on some forums. When using the phone while holding it, the screen works okay (except for some touch delay sometimes on the lower part of the screen). But what agitates me the most is that whenever I lay my phone flat on a soft surface (Bed is the worst), the phone does not respond at all to my touches (except when I heavily, and i mean heavily tap it)
Some say this is a hardware issue, but I was like what? If the screen works fine when held, how come it's a hardware issue? I think the problem is that Xiaomi tied the screen response/touch with the gyro/accelerometer in the software (MIUI 10.2.3.0).
As for the audio, why bother creating a stereo setup if the other one is just a small earpiece? Also the audio channels are also separate, meaning, whenever you play a stereo audio file (with separate instruments per channel), you can only hear one side clearly. Fortunately, there is a fix, its by turning on the mono audio on accessibility settings, but UNFORTUNATELY, this also affects the output on headphones
I hope Xiaomi fixes this soon!
I have not read about this issue with anyone but since the last update I have this strange problem, when ever i go from First space to Second space, the phone freezes and reboots after a few seconds, sometimes it works but sometimes it freezes completely. Secondly FB and other FB related logins dont work.

Just change ur handset.
or visit nearby mi service center.
Charging issue is happening since june updatea, so I suggeat all of you to go back to may vendor so you can charge your phone as usual
Bought this phone 20 days ago
Bought this phone 20 days ago due to the processor. But now it seems like a mistake.?
Facing ghost touch but it's manageable (I know it's not but the processor...)
I use earphones mostly so no problem with phone speaker. While playing pubg I have to keep sound level at 90% to hear clearly.
Charging... It's charging Faster than my previous phone. I had Lyf Earth 1. Yea I know...
Miui 10.3.6 stable

Bought this phone around 10 months ago, never had any issues except number 6.
I NEVER had 4G+ on my Pocophone in my region (thailand, Truemove carrier), i think this is due to the Pocophone only supporting CA(4G+) on bands 3+40 or 40+40/3+3 (i think), my carrier uses B1+B3+B8 or any of that in 2CA so yeah, pocophone's CA(4G+) capablity is extremely limited due to it only being able to do CA in very limited bands (it will do CA fine with indian carriers i heard)
About number 1, I charge my phone overnight anyways so I am not in a hurry and when i wake up it will always be at 100% anyways. I also sometimes charge it outside of my home with my QC3.0 powerbank, and yes since I am in thailand the heat does affect me and it slows charging down to around 12-16 watts instead of full 18 watts, but really charging is a non issue
No touch issues on my unit aswell, had a great experience from the start of using this phone in terms of touch, guess i got lucky or the earlier pocophone models (9/2018,10/2018) had higher quality digitizers, I also heard problems about screen bleeding which I think you didn't mention specifcally , my screen has a VERY minor bleed around the bottom left corner of the screen
One display issue which I think not alot of users face but I do, is image retention. I experienced this myself when looking at something static for a long time with this brightness (70%-85%), it's noticeable in the "dark grey" kind of screens which is the default dark mode setting in Pixel Experience (the rom that I've been using for 7 months now, don't really like how menus are placed in MIUI, or does that just have to do with me using pixel experience for so long), the image retention is not like some extreme burn-in you see on amoled displays, just a very hard to see but "it's there" kind of thing. The image retention will usually solve itself if you leave your phone's screen off for a decent amount of time (image retention =/= burn-in) and this can happen with any brightness setting i found out, i once left the phone's screen on for like 24+ hours mirroring the screen to my pc with the minimum brightness (i see the screen on my pc anyways so no point in leaving the screen on anything but minimum brightness) and yes it did have image retention once i was done using it after 24+ hours, i turned the brightness up and instantly saw retention in the screen of static menu elements.
Of course that's a bit extreme of a use case, not many people are gonna leave a phone screen on for 24+ hours, but yes it can happen lol
Headphone/audio issues: never experienced bad audio in my pocophone F1 when listening to music (I use PowerAmp and it's high-res setting of 24bit/96KHz) it sounds amazing from this phone, but when playing games the audio is definitely sub-par compared to phones I had before.
Another problem I have is random freezes with MIUI, I solved this by using pixel experience and i really love this rom so this is a non-issue for me since I don't see myself returning to MIUI until MIUI 11 comes out or something like that.
1. SLOW CHARGING
true and frustrating
2. Audio Issues
didn't face it
3. Speakerphone Loudness
it's just a software thing, using any aosp based rom or custom kernel solves it
4.Touch Screen Issues
didn't face it
5. Auto Rotation
what?

I had mine fixed . Try calling the customer care of Vodafone..Tell them your problem of VoLTE not Showing..They will fix that for u..in 30 mins !! Hope this helps ??
Hello there. From the first release day of Pocophone 1, this amazing device is the only one, that suits for my usage and needs.
I have two Poco F1 - both rooted, the first one is mine which runs official los, the second one is my little brother device, who's unfortunately yesterday he dropped on the ground. And here is the case:
The device is Indian version, 6/128 with NVT-ts panel, rooted, with stock miui, pie. After the accident, the phone survive and there is no SINGLE scratch, no screen cracks or similar, but ALL sounds gives error when I try to play them. YouTube starts with its stream buffering, but the video cannot start play, Spotify and SoundCloud gives me unplayable tracks, when dial or receive calls, the phone hangs and I must perform hard reboot to start this procedure again. But ALL games works flawlessly - CoD, PoGo, Wizards Unite etc. Messaging apps like Viber, WApp works too, but cannot perform calls. Proximity sensors works, IR cam works, 10 fingers test on the panel works too, the phone have full network 4g coverage, fast data bandwidth, WiFi works too. Temperatures of the phone is around 25-35 C
I opened the device, check every single cable, reconnect them and this mess is the same.
Additional info: the situation is the same, even with wired/ Bluetooth headphones - no sounds at all and hangs of the calls.
Later today, I'll upload pictures of the opened poco.
I'm open for ideas, how to revive this awesome phone.
Best regards to the coolest community!
I have same exact problem with my poco f1. Help!
Been a fanboy of Pixel since Nexus 4. The best models I think would be the original Pixel, Pixel 2 XL and Pixel 5. Good solid phones for my use without any problems that would bother me.
Pixel 5 was great, I kept it even after getting a Pixel 6 and would occasionally pop a sim card in it to use. I don't do any gaming and P5 had everything I needed besides a bit slow processor sometimes.
Pixel 6 on the other side would constantly make me annoyed. Don't like the size, it's bulky. Oneplus is even easier for one hand use even though it's a little bigger overall.
I am a truck driver and go to many different places. The modem in this phone is just horrendous. It loses signal or has bad connection in places where other phones perform just fine.
Even at my home, P6 is basically unusable, while OnePlus has good enough connection (Verizon).
Charging P6 is a bad experience too. Takes forever if phone is being used and gets hot. Overheating is actually a big problem here. I often use video calling and never ever did I have another phone turning off mobile network, because it got too hot, after 40 minutes of talking.
I just got tired of constant bugs and really happy about finally switching to a different phone. Oneplus does not seem to have any of those problems so far. Great cell connection and charging speed is just incredible. Software seems to be fine, have not had any glitches yet. Overall I would highly recommend it over a Pixel 6

Is there a reason why you can't just move on?
It all most sounds like you have remorse for getting rid of the P6.
For me , i charge my phone once daily and it lasts form 5 am to 12 pm with 5h of sot.
I have a fast charger for when i really need to charge it fast , but usually i charge it with a slow charger during the night.
Its all i need.
About network, i have no problems. No 5g in my area but i have 4g and it offers good enough speed even for streaming 1080p.
5g spends more battery though

Just sharing my experience. I would not say it's a remorse, its more of a sadness, frustration with hardware and disappointment that I had to leave the Pixel line.
Got really used to the software over the years

The same problems apply to 6 Pro
IDK what this post is supposed to achieve but just for the protocol I'd say that I never had any of the issues mentioned by OP.
It's my first google phone , coming from oneplus 3, and i really enjoy it so far.
I Agree with those issues not sure OnePlus 10 is a smart move now though OOS is dead colour OS is
I currently own pixel 6 and a op7t
Charging time is crazy given the battery.Then there is the fingerprint reader

Hi.
Interesting reasons why you want to leave the pixel phone....
1. Pixel 6 is bulky (by your own admission the OnePlus 10 pro is bulkier). I can add you one more; OnePlus 10 pro has a curved screen which, if you are a driver as you claim, is really bad because of accidental touches.
2. Modem ; granted I have some problems with this but from my experience as a user of the pixel 6 this is a problem I had on my esim and seems not to be prevalent on the physical SIM. But that is just me so I think this may be a legitimate concern which for now I do not experience (I travel extensively for work by the way)
3. Bad charging experience. You probably did not buy a proper charger for it. Were you using the specified tech for it? I have been using my pixel 4a 5g charger on the pixel 6 (for obvious reasons that the 6 did not come with one) and the charging was very modest. This charger is 18watts which is not fast charging for the pixel 6. However I went for the recommended PD charger that does 30watts and I am not doing Rapid charging. The pixel does around 23 watt on fast charging and I get very fast speeds with that. But this is probably nothing close to the warp charging on the OnePlus 10 pro but honestly this is not a game changer for me as a person on the move. I have a fast charging car charger which is always ready on the go.
4. Heating: honestly this has happened to me when I used the OnePlus 9 pro and worse when I am on a video call, with the phone charging and having placed it on my dash phone holder holder. If I don't have to hold the phone it is fine with me. The pixel 4a 5g would occassionally go off on me because of temperature increase but this has never happened on the pixel 6.
5. Constant bugs....yeah....this has become like a song for everyone leaving the pixel 6. Honestly I went for the pixel because I know I am on the cutting edge of software and I expect some things not to go well. I have options to change from one OS to another so bugs do not bug me (no pun intended). In any case OnePlus has been known to similarly have bugs. Maybe the OnePlus 10 pro is resting on a conservatively stable software which most likely is not the most recent. Please note that the pixel is not a conservative phone like the OnePlus 10 pro. The system chip is new and not mainstream, backing a groundbreaking AI agenda which is pushing grounds to places where people have not explored before ....this is an adventure into the future of mobile telephony...if you are not the person into adventures and trying new things then the pixel is probably not for you. You will most likely receive the newest updates with newest features never tried on another device and this may break a few things and you have to have the tenacity to wait out the growth with excitememt...otherwise go for a conservative device which may appear to have all the bells and whistles but for me does not whet my appetite.
My 2 cents

It has always been this way with all of the Google series phones. (Nexus).
New hardware and software on release day. Beta testing in the spring.
Not only that, it teaches peeps the ins and outs of adb/fastboot,terminal, coding android, etc...

So in essence the expensive device not working is in fact a benefit in disguise ? Joking aside, Im with you to the point of tweaking and such to get things ironed out, us droid freaks love doing that, but I was talking about the many things that don't work correctly out of the box for the Pixel 6 series and its user base of complaints. Perhaps I they are exaggerated.

There are choices. If a person does not like the Pixel. Good for them. But there is no reason to keep on harping negativity.
Or is it that some people just like to complain about anything.

Good lord, I make an opinion ( based on research )and now its labelled as "harping" ,Opinions are like A holes everyone has one. I was merely asking you as a Pixel owner what are your feelings about this device are you happy , did it bring value into your world?
I've had pixels and OP's for most of the past 5-7 years. Loved the Pixel 3, got a 5 and liked it too but a bit underpowered. Had/still have an OP7T as my "big" phone. With google still offering decent trade-in value I just traded my P5 for a P6 (second go-around with the 6) and it cost less than CAD $500 so no brainer there and I do finally like it now that the most annoying bugs are gone, put a d-brand skin on it to make it less slippery. Was very tempted by OP10+ but I'm pissed with OP's recent (since OP9) lack of focus and their smoke and mirrors BS with the "Hasselblad" camera system etc. Oh, that and it being twice the price of a P6...! So, sticking with Pixels for now. Might go back to OP someday if they stop flip-flopping with hardware for the sake of marketing.

Glad to see your post. I been thinking of going to a One Plus 9 Pro over my Pixel 6.
