Is there any way (via app/driver) to increase the display resolution for a docked g-tablet?
It looks like the hardware can drive much higher resolutons: tegradeveloper.nvidia.com/tegra/forum/does-tegra-250-support-2-deferent-video-output-hdmi-and-vga-same-time
I see the Motorola Atrix has an app that does this trick when docked in their "laptop" dock. It would be real slick to do this with my docking unit - I would probably never go back to a laptop or desktop again, except for remote control from my tablet.
TIA
It wouldn't make sense for a device to push more pixels than the actual LCD is capable of.
I don't care about the display on the tablet when it is docked and hooked to an external monitor - that could be turned off. What matters is the external display and how crappy 1024x600 looks on a 19" 16:9 monitor made to display 1440x900.
Our HDMI out is 1080p. 1080x1920
What are you hooked up to when getting higher resolution? Does the tablet display just turn off and external takes over?
Everything I have hooked my dock up to (4:3 and 16:9 19" monitors and 720p TV) gets the same resolution as my tablet display. So the bigger the display the more jagged the experience.
Thanks
i havent tested my hdmi output (waiting for straight cable) but the specs are there.
since max resolution on the gtab is 1024x600, thats what youl see, but through the cord the (720p, 1080p) resolution should show on the HD TV.
Hi Resolution when you use the YouTube.apk

I was able to get HD (1080p) using the YouTube.APK by selecting HD mode in the application setting. Both the Tablet and the external screen played 1080p videos quite nicely. If you turned off the Tablet display, the external screen also went blank. When I quit out of the APK and set the Tablet to sleep, the HDMI setting appeared to stick in the main Tablet settings. There is no easy way to set the Gtablet resolution using the standard stock settings.
After a few days and trying different TV streaming APKs from the Market. The HDMI Out stopped working altogether. I did a reboot as well as Flash the ROM but the HDMI OUT still does not display. It does recognize the HDMI signal (the LCD shows 1080P) from the dock HDMI port. I am not sure what happened but some how one or more default settings are stuck in the user data configuration file. One of those settings makes my SHARP external display go blank (can't display the set mode). The GTablet continues to display in both 420P and HD (probably 720P) modes.
I will try a data wipe and Flash again to see if it clears the HDMI setting back to the default mode (I believe that is 420p).
If this is the case, then we need some type of HDMI.apk that allows one to set the screen mode to Tablet only, Tablet & External or External only AND set the resolution mode for each. When watching using the dock and an external LCD, I want the default to be 1080p.
So, far when tricking the Gtablet to display 1080p I have some how broken the dock and have not been able to reset back to factory settings.
Any suggestions and/or configuration apk's to resolve this problem?

EDIT: Fixed the HDMI Display by using new cable. I get really nice HD output using the YouTube.APK with the settings set to HD.

Hi,
When connecting the asus tranformer, or any other tegra 2 tablet, to the tv I get a wrong resolution.
What happens is that for the 16:9 ratio it cuts about 5% of all the borders of the image. If then I switch on the tv setting from 16:9 to fit screen it works well and I can see the whole tablet screen.
But some tvs don't have that option, and thus the image shows incorrectly cutting a part of the border of the image.
Do you have the same problem? Is there a fix?
Welcome everyone,
around half year ago I have purchased AUTORADIO DVD/GPS/NAVI/IPOD/ANDROID 4.2 Player FORD MONDEO I was pretty much happy using this gear, however now it start having some issues with screen.
Basically screen whole unit remains operations except screen what is blank but still responsive. Radio should start when ignition turned on and car is powered. unit however does not display logo screen but instead starting last function running much quicker than before. I have noticed that all function like playing cd/dvd or using radio working well. it does also WiFi dongle and 3g dongle. The best part is that panel is still responsive and you can change stations on radio when pressing place where button should be displayed.

Could you share maybe some ideas what could be
Cheers!
Hello all,
Maybe one of you will know the answer, I do hope so haha.
If I connect an Android smart tv box (like the MK809IV smart tv stick) to a HDMI display, can I dim the display with the device, like I can dim a phone screen?
The purpose I have is this: Android device running Torque Pro (this app can show car data like revs, speed, turbo pressure, etc. on an Android device) connected to a display by HDMI. The screen will be used in a car, so I want to auto dim the brightness when the ambient light gets darker. I searched for a lot of options to do this with a custom build display with an ambient light sensor, but I thought Macrodroid can help me out too, with dimming the brightness at specific times. This works on my phone, but will it also work on an Android device that has no screen by itself, like a Android stick or Android mini pc?
I want to screen cast my phone to my tv because my tv doesn't have the discovery plus app.
I can cast my phone no problem but there are black bars on both sides of the picture on the tv. I'm assuming this may be because of a resolution or aspect ratio mismatch between my phone and my tv.
It's there a way to cast to my tv where the image fills the entire screen?
My device is a OnePlus 7 pro
Disable Overscan on your TV box.
change your tv aspect ratio to wide mode or zoom mode whatever you call that thing
The oneplus 7 pro is 19.5 x 9 I'm "casting" using the "Screen Cast" icon in the notification tray. miracast or bubbleunp (not sure which tbh, its an LG tv).
Changing the aspect ratio on the tv doesnt work. I need a phone based solution. I need to be able to just send a 16x9 signal.
When I watch 16x9 content on my phone, there are black bars on the left and right because my phone resolution is 19.5x9 and so im projecting that to a 16x9 screen, its literally casting my whole screen.
@jwoegerbauer I have no such option when casting video from my phone. It's stuck at 16x9
