I uses to be able to watch TV show stream and my videos on my TV via the g2x HDMI out even with root and eb and cm7 then I went back to stock for a bit and the HDMI stopped working on the same TV using the same cable now all I get is a blank screen and no sound but it says playing on other screen so it obviously recognizes the cable... has anyone else come across this?
I was wondering if at all possible to have the HDMI out be main display when connected and phone just displays an input pad and keyboard maybe. I just think it would make HDMI out much better. On that subject when games were launched while HDMI connected g2x screen could be just controller. Maybe something to tell Google to add their os?
Since the new ICS update (.11 havent tried .17) Netflix is busted when it is being used with the miniHDMI cable... What happens is that it shows the subtitles on the TF screen and the actual video on the TV when it used to work fine before, having both on the TV screen...
Have anyone bumped into this or know how to fix it?
First to say, this is a bit long, but explains exactly what is my problem and what am I doing, I really need help, please. Thank you,
Today I bought hdmi (Male-Male) cable and MHL 5-pin adapter for my Xperia Z1 Compact. And I have a really weird problem. So I set up everything the way it's supposed to be, connect hdmi cable to TV and mhl adapter, charging cable to adapter and then connect adapter to phone, also I set correct hdmi channel on TV. And, I get notification about MHL connected, but there's no any picture or sound on TV. Also, phone randomly stops charging, however mhl notification still stays and screen stays landscape, until I switch to another program on TV or unplug cable. Another weird thing, if I play any format of video in any player(even stock one), video stops every 4 sec and I have to manually press play every time(it's not performance issue though, I can play unoptimized games for qualcomm like GTA SA with same amount of framerate as if I played normally) and sound from video can sometimes go out through phone speaker(and it's not supposed to, instead should come as hdmi output on TV). And here some of the facts:
-My charger and cable normally works
-Without charger connected to mhl adapter, I dont get any notification, so charging part is fine
-If I unplug hdmi cable from mhl adapter, I dont get random charging interrupts, phone charges constantly
-I have stock 4.4 Kitkat Android, no system applications deleted
-My tv is from 2005, Panasonic, without mhl but has 2 Hdmi slots- 720p, in case TV means anything
I have 3 guesses that came to my mind: software issue(like bug or something), unsupported resolution(maybe if phone doesn't recognize TV's 720p and instead sets to full HD(but then there wouldn't be charging issue and probably video pausing issue too) and lastly, broken adapter(To mention, it's right type, 5 pin, so it could only be literally broken inside-loose, but it seems quality and if it was loose there would still be some kind of output on TV, during normal charging period)
Can anyone give some solution...? I can't find any similar problem to mine, so I have no idea what could be the cause.
Hey all, I was just wondering if there was a way to bypass HDCP on Android?
I have some apps that block playback when connected to an external screen like on my TV. Is there any way to get round this? I am rooted.
I did a search and saw some stuff about HDMI splitters but I'm not sure what they do and how they really work, or if they'd work in my scenario. I use a displaylink adapter for HDMI output and it comes with an app
Thx
