HDMI question - Motorola Atrix 2

Since I'm coming from the OG the only way we had HDMI was thru hacks or custom Roms. AT&T has said using your HDMI on the OG was considered tethering. Has anyone been using the HDMI feature that comes on the A2 for Netflix. Would love to be able to hook up to my big screen and watch Netflix again but at the same time I don't wanna lose my unlimited plan either.

Yes it works

I have another question about HDMI on Atrix 2 and i didn't want to open a new thread.
What resolution does it support?
Only 1280x720p or 1920x1080p too, and at what frame rates?

I would assume 1080p since it's HDMI but I may be way wrong lol

Yea netflix has issues at the moment for some reason or another. The crackling if you will notice is strictly when you use the netflix app I assume.

[Q] HDMI out clarity?

I plugged the tablet into a Samsung LCD TV and it doesn't seem very clear.. sort of grainy ..lost quality.. am I missing a setting somewhere? It looks OK don't get me wrong but an HDMI connection I expected to be a lot crisper.

I believe this too. i have a 1080p tv and it outputs to 720p which is fine but it is a bit grainy and the screen blinks alot when trying the youtube app as well.
surely it depends on what you are trying to view ....
Its anything I view. Its just lossy. Even idle at the main screen. I just thought it would be crisper. Its not terrible or anything.

you sure its not mirroring the TF's resolution?
Do you have to resize the output on the samsung ? All my samsung TVs look way better through VGA than HDMI with computers. FYI I dont own a EEE im just a TV geek.
Also make sure you plug it in the DVI labelled port on the Samsung.
if its a samsung set the screen size to just scan ........ that any better?
The issue at present I believe is that the HDMI out at present is showing at the same resolution as the screen even if it is a 1080p file. This will alledgedly be sorted in a future update.
What does hdmi out do on the transformer, is it full desktop mirroring or only used by some apps?
currently it will always output 720p, asus has stated it will be fixed in a future update.

Its full mirroring, so what ever you do on the tablet is mirrored on the TV.

HDMI out on 3.1 - Any different?

I got my mini HDMI to HDMI cable today and having not been able to test it previous to 3.1 I was wondering if everyone elses was poor performing?
I can play a 1080 avatar clip which is encoded baseline mp4 on my tablet perfectly and it is smooth, but as soon as I plug the HDMI cable in its very stuttery and laggy but the audio decodes fine (on the TV obviously - Samsung 42" plasma)
It plays at the same performance as software decoding.
Any one else have issues?
Thanks
Its a lot better than before as it wouldnt do 1080p out before. 720p is much better than before but it still could use some improvement

i couldnt even watch utube with the hdmi out until the 3.1 update!!

[Q] Purchased cord HDMI sound problem??

Hello Guys,
I purchased a belkin micro hdmi cable yday... Mirroring worked pretty fine. Even played some demo 1080p videos on my g2x and they looked great. But the sound still comes from G2x instead of TV speakers.. I am sure tv supports sound from hdmi (i have a ps3 that works like that). I also couldn't find any settings that can change the audio output method. Is this the way it works i.e. (the sound never comes from tv??)..

Sound is most definitely output to TV over. There are no settings (other than manual resolution), it's all automatic.
Yup.. it worked today though with out me doing anything different.. I'l keep an eye on when this happens again. I am running only stock android but just rooted (for the setDNS app to revive my wifi ). So should be a glitch in the stock kernel(like many other problems) if it occurs randomly..

HDMI Audio Problem?

I am not rooted, totally stock. I have tried 2 different HDMI cables and both of them play videos to my LCD TV. But not the audio? Even if I play streaming or from the SD card, no audio. No sounds from any app. And yes the volume is turned all the way up on all volume controls.... media vol, tv vol. Any word on this bug? I have read others having the same problem.
There are posts about issues with certain hdmi cables not working correctly or not at all. There are different grades of hdmi cables which may be the reason. I recommend getting a cable advertised for droid. I got one from verizon store thats for the droid x and works great.
Gremlins are watching you...
Umm, I'm having the opposite problem audio, but no videos. Can play games and stuff and it shows (both audio and video) but if i try to play some movies or something, i get audio only. What's up with this?
Sent from my Droid Charge running Humble 2.2
Yeah I am having trouble too. I want to route the sound out the audio port and just send the video to the TV.
I personally think their is a bug. I have been reading up on this and it works fine for some but not for others. Over at the verizon forms their are a few reports about it. Some say certain cables work on certain HDTVs and then the same setup doesn't work on their friends HDTVs or bedroom HDTV. No consistency or solution, just hit and miss at this point :/

Question on hdmi

I use Skype quite often, and I recently acquired an HDMI cable and I noticed an issue with HDMI plugged into my tv, I want to see the person I'm talking to on TV, but it shows myself on the tv, I kinda want the opossite, also I've had problems with the TV viewing the full android screen, help is appreciated. Thank you

I dont have answers to your questions but...
I think you get some cropping on android becuase the resolution of the TV and the tablet are different. If you go full screen with apps(video players) they actually pump out the 1080p resolution. Test it out... Fire up youtube search for 1080p and play it. On the tablet the little window where the video normally is but on the TV the correct 1080p resolution is played.
Check if your TV has the option for turning off overscan. If it has you will able to see the full android display on your tv without any cropping. My tv doesn't have it T_T, but I did tried on a TV that does and it worked.
Yea, that seems to be a tv issue since i tried with a different tv and it worked, but what about the skype issue, anyone have any ideas?
