Hi,
i found some videos on the web showing the 3,5mm->RCA TV Out feature from the original Motoroi XT720. I have the Milestone XT720 and i am assuming the hardware would still support this. The official headphone plug has still 3 pins, as example. It seems simply like the setting is gone ... is there a way to re-enable it ?
I dont care how hacky it is.
yeah, it will be freaking awesome to have that special tv output feature. if only we have some dev to make that option available as an app made specially for xt720, now we can only wait. moto should have made this feature available so that we could toggle from our device display to tv display manually. just a thought why would they have that ONLY for stock media player. this BEAST is more than that!
The new XT720 has an HDMI out that can be used as a tv-out . You will probably have to use an adapter if you want to convert it to vga or s-video
i'm already using this feature tvout via 3.5mm cable..(3.5mm---AV)...with Dexter's 1.3....all fine expect the video display on tv but sound still playing on phone's speaker..hope the devs notice this problem and solve for us...

I will pay a $300.00 bounty through Paypal for this app someone can write:
Please write an app that sends the screen captures, all video, SLINGPLAYER, all programs to be sent through the HDMI port so I can watch my sling player on my nav system with an hdmi downscaler box through composite video, to my Pioneer AVIC Z3.
So I'm asking that a Dev find a way to enable ALL programs and video and slingplayer to be sent through the hdmi port. (I want my EVO to act like a Droid Incredible with the tv out cable.)
Thanks,
Mark
I think its just a matter of time before one of the development figures out a way. I don't think an app is going to cut it, its more of an ability of the operating system.

Hope your really going to pay the $300 when someone releases this.....
I hope I get the first copy before the masses......then yes ill take care of the developer.
I will up the bounty by committing to an additional $50...
Looking to do the same thing for my audi. Would love to use google maps, sling, read email, browse the net, all from my nav screen... Also as a feature of the app: a setting that allows us to lock the screen in landscape mode
JB'd iCraps have a program I believe called video out that accomplishes this..
Here's a video;

I'd also like to see this happen and would be willing to throw some bills if it is completed. This is a great idea.
You might be able to just redirect the phone's screen to the hdmi port which would effectively give every app access to the hdmi port
hope someone is working on this, sry i cant add to the bounty though.
How do you do this?

HDMI output support
Is this what we're all looking for?
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dhtsnvs6_57d2hpqtgr#4_HDMI_output_support_82321908
4. HDMI output support
This device supports HDMI output of video content via a cable. Common use of this could be to connect to a TV or a video projector to show a video clip.
The output of the video is tied to the user connecting the HDMI cable to the handset and to a HDMI player such as a TV, once the two have recognized each other, applications attempting to play video will not see the video on the device screen but it will be sent over the HDMI cable. While this is fairly plug-n-play, there are some things to consider for your application design.
4.1 Blocking HDMI output
We realize there may be some applications which do not want their video content played out over HDMI, this may be for many reasons including, usage rights associated with video or control over user experience. If you wish to restrict a user from using HDMI out with your application you can add the following permission to your manifest.

this might be possible very possible ....
I've come across code allowing developers to enable or disable HDMI out in their apps..
So what's the default? I haven't gotten myself a cable yet, but i'd assume it's disabled.
In due time if laws permit and enough people complain to the developer's i'm sure it will happen.
Also it won't be hard to include the code in the launcher.apk..
Still, it needs to be permitted from app to app, which is a problem..
To solve that problem!!
We need an app, no more like a service, which when active is clear, completely transparent, and allows you to see and control the GUI through that layer but exactly as usual.
So as long as that APK allows hdmi output we will see the entire GUI through the program THUS having a fully output UI.
I should really brush up on my programming.
EDIT: I am officially working on it and progress is going great =)
I know what i'm doing just gonna take a while to get there lol

uhg. the videoplayer in media hub doesnt support mhl. it seems intentional because it wont even mirror the phone screen, it actually shows it mirrored for a second and displays a mesage that it is not supported.
kinda makes media hub not worth having. why wouldnt samsung just put drm protection on a filetype that plays in the normal video player? this is lame. why would i rent a move to watch on my phone with no possibility of playback on a tv? they'd get many more rentals if it was more flexible this seems more like a way to show off than a practical aplication. i dont think it can stream over dlna either. it would be much more useful if i could use it on a hotel tv when i travel or my home tv with a dock.
come on samsung. we need an update! asap!
Yep, I tried it yesterday as well and it didnt work. Thats very dissapointing. Who wants to buy a movie in media hub but only be able to watch on their phone? If you buy the movie you should be able to watch it wherever you wish....
I really hope someone makes a hack for HDMI mirroring like the Droid x has...
I used with slingplayer. It worked ok, I think it doesn't have the horsepower to get it really smooth. But it was ok. Are the media player files drmed? I'll only use it to spend that $25 credit. I'll probably just copy and rip the movies I buy. Did anybody try other media players/movies?

ya know that's probably it. they are drm'd and in a proprietary format. they probably fear that if you had video capture on a computer you'd get around all that and dont want people ripping their movies.
the on board video player works amazing. dont use 3rd party apps, it supports mkv's and such. plus it putsout 1080p when used with mhl, the screen turns off and it switches to a highres mode and powers the mhl exclusively.
a better solution would have been watermarking the output. so that movies if ripped would have evidence of piracy in which case the user could be reported if they distribute it.
i wonder it that's what the update is about. maybe if we spoof the build.prop it wont force the update and then who knows? that might kill it altogether though and other version might only mirror, not use hi res. maybe there is a way to squash the update, an apk that can be frozen or something?
Samsung's response to me when I inquired
@CYNlKALOPTlMlST: @Samsungtweets @samsungmobileus Why can I not use media hub on my tv? #Infuse4G http://ow.ly/i/brzA
@SamsungMary:
@cynikaloptimist Due to licensing rights from the studios, Media Hub content unfortunately can be played only on Galaxy S devices. Sorry :-/

So I checked it out, but couldn't find any definitive information about this.
Is there any way that I can force an app to do an HDMI out with audio to a tv with my Droid X? I'm trying to stream things like HBOgo, or MaxGo to my TV but haven't found a way to do it. It seems the HDMI out only works with images and videos stored on my phone. Help?
Use this app:

I use this app on my Droid 3 since it somehow fools apps that block HDMI into working with HDMI. But its actually designed for what you want.

hi all, i have bought the above smart tv dongle thingy from maplins
http://www.maplin.co.uk/point-of-view-hdmi-smart-tv-dongle-android-4.1-685649
anyone have one of these? im pretty impressed with it, im not too happy with the menu though and id like to customize it a bit.. any ideas on what can be done with this device?
Thanks
First thing to do with this device
I just got one.
First thing I did was install ADW Launcher Ex on it and get rid of the horrible launcher it came with.
Now I have a very fast 42" tablet, with widgets, live wallpapers the lot, no root required.
This thing has loads of potential, but if you read the customer reviews on Maplin you'll see they haven't understood that this is Android and you can customise the heck out of it.
The only thing I've found missing so far is a lock screen in case you don't want others using it while your not there without unplugging it. I also heard it loses datetime if you unplug it, not surprising as it doesn't have an internal clock battery.
It's surprisingly fast, but if you're mouse pointer will lag under heavy load.
Still exploring potential will post back as I find out more.
Ah thanks! I have since rooted and installed different firmware! I found out that it was a re-branded Rikomagic MK802III and installed the latest firmware for that device which is way better. I have XBMC running alongside MX Player Hardware video decoding, all is sweet. I found out all I needed from this guys post. Enjoy

Answers/help will be appreciated.
Point of View HDMI Smart TV dongle - interface & WD My Passport
Hi,
I have just bought the hdmi dongle and m not very technology savvy. One of the main reasons I got it was to be able to connect my WD My Passport to it to play movies etc. However I can't seem to change the settings on the menu - so when I click on Movies - rather than all my separated folders showing up - instead it shows an icon of my 1500 movies (which includes about 750 clips of my kids). I can't seem to find a way to get it to display the folders, or even a list of the movies rather than the huge icons! Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance,
Colette
I really want to buy a rootable android and Pixels seem to be the way to go. However, I'm reading conflicting info about whether or not I'll be able to use 1-2 external monitors with the Pixel 7 Pro. I hoped this wouldn't be necessary.
I'd really like to replace my laptop with a phone that's capable to using 1-2x external monitors (4k resolution not necessary but would be amazing as well - 1080p would be plenty).
From what I see, using a displayport dock via USB-C can enable at least 1 HDMI output:
Project your Pixel phone's screen - Pixel Phone Help
If you have a Chromecast or other device that casts, you can mirror your Pixel phone's screen and audio on
support.google.com
>Tip: Pixel 3 and later Pixel phones work with the MediaGear USB-C Hub Docking Station (item 853265008171). Other docking stations can also work.
Can someone please confirm this is possible and let me know which dock they're using? Also, is there any chance I could use 2 HDMI outputs through the same dock? Or perhaps one USBC-Displayport-HDMI connection + 1 Chromecast connection to enable 2x monitors?
I'd love to be able to code using a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and skip having the carry my laptop around entirely. I have a 1440p portable/external monitor that works wonderfully for both my laptop and my LG V50 ThinQ.
2x monitors would be my dream; the portable external monitor I have is amazingly light and works great (and supports display over USBC and MicroHDMI - plus power over another USBC port). So I'm sure I'd need to plug in in order to operate these for any extended periods but anyway:
Does anyone have experience with this they can share?
Thanks for any/all help. I'm a dev myself so if the solution to this is a custom rom, I'd be happy to contribute to the solution if anyone's working on one.
I will say: My LG V50 ThinQ USBC to USBC video works really well on my portable monitor... So it may be possible to patch that feature into a pixel kernel.
I will definitely look into it once I have the time, if no one else has any hints/progress on the subject.
I will say "technically"... yes. Practically however, nobody has actually bothered.
Should be just a matter of making sure the kernel is built with support for GUD and setting up a monitor with a GUD interface (such as an rPi with the GUD sdcard).
Pixels do not support native, hardware-accelerated video-out.
Any old dock won't work. Only DisplayLink ones and expect performance to be poor.

Not to mention, streaming like Netflix and Hulu won't show. I tried several DisplayLink adapters which claimed HDCP compliance (including this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B072FHTZ8V
with the DL6950 chip:
https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/integrated-chipsets/dl-6000 )
But I could never get any streaming services to work (just black screen once playing started). The rest was acceptable quality (although I wouldn't expect to be able to play games without significant lag and screen tearing). If you find a set up that also works with streaming, please let me know. I'd be very interested in adopting something similar.
***Edit: from DisplayLink's site:
"As the DisplayLink is an app from the Play Store, Android prevents any protected content from video streaming services eg Netflix, Amazon etc, being available to the DisplayLink app. This is an Android restriction to make sure that protected content remains protected and is not available to other applications."

Maybe there is a root workaround, I don't know.
Didn't even know that. Wow.
I still don't forgive Google for removing Miracast.
I really do like Google Cast but that was really anti-consumer.
