HDMI APP for EVO (using it for games on TV)

Hello,
I was wondering if a Dev was creating or looking into making a app over the HDMI to display everyith on your phone, not just when it is in video mode.
My thought was to someday be able to connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the phone and play doom, quake w/e from my phone to the TV.
Any thoughts?

These were my exact same thoughts, lets connect my phone to my tv and and bluetooth keyboard to the phone and have a big giant screen for txt messaging hahahahahaha Would also be really cool for watching SprintTV and the web.
Was really annoyed when I found out that the HDMI out had been crippled in the EVO. I hope this won't be the case for the EPIC.
Any ways, I too hope that someone can create a work around for this.

i dont believe that this could be done with an app but maybe god maybe manufacturers maybe CYANOGEN can help...
or the alternative if google (or anyone else) gives an API to develop apps...
if there were a browser, a better player(maybe rockplayer) and docs to go, things would have been better...

I am definately willing to donate to anyone that gets this working. It would make the phone so much more effective.
I used the Samsung Vibrant video out with a simple cable from radio shack and it mirrors the whole UI. Everything you do on the phone goes onto the TV. It isn't the most beautiful picture, and there is some frame lag, but it was still really nice. It would be even better over HDMI.

Jutst checking around some different forums to see if all the EVO Hdmi threads are dead or if any work is being done on it... anybody ?????

Any one fide something jet?

Nope still looking around and nothing yet. I know there's a dev raising money for a evo that already created an app for the nexus I believe......
This is definately dissapointing I would chip in for this as I travel a lot and would be great to use with my slingmobile and watching hockey games......

DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL THAT ZIP. IT'S A LIE AND PROBABLY IS A VIRUS AND/OR MALWARE.

Google Video does not play via HDMI

Please forgive me if this has been answered before, but this sites search function blows.
Wife and I just rented a movie tonight from the market. Hooked up HDMI during the preview, worked great. But when the acual movie started, the screen goes blank and only sound comes out. I unplug the hdmi from the TF and it starts showing the video on the TF. WTF?!
Restarted, nothing. I tried the screen flip, dumb trick thingy, nothing. I am clueless why android would let something so easy and convenient go unnoticed in 3.2? Anyone have ideas? Is this something Google hasn't even fixed yet or something? Thanks for the help,

Anyone having this problem?!

I had this problem also - I am assuming it is blocked for viewing via HDMI.

That was my first thought but why on earth cant you watch an android paid movie via hdmi?! It makes no sense. I paid for it, why cant I watch it however I want? If this is true in my mind its a huge black eye for android.

Your not rooted right? I'm assuming it plays on your device normally.
That is a pisser. Movies and HDMI should be one of their primary goals of their movie service.

I can confim this issue. I just tried to watch a movie I had rented as well. It's quite annoying. It should be a key piece of functionality.

HDCP problem no doubt. Anyone go through settings in the video app or general settings to make sure there was no option to enable video out over HDMI? Do youtube or onboard videos play on the TV?

I dont know what HDCP is but I have used hdmi out from other apps, tv shows, and it works fine. The TF will show everything with hdmi in but go to play an android movie and it goes blank.
Hopefully this is an easy fix? And no I am not rooted.

HDCP is digital copyright protection.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection

So that means you need a HDCP compatible TV? Or just no go at all?
I always knew hdcp was a bad idea. Absolutely no good.

If this was a HDCP issue, then it's a case of poor programming. I have the same problem, and my HDTV is fully HDCP compliant, as my Blu-ray player and game consoles work fine over HDMI. There should be no reason why the videos won't play if the TV itself supports HDCP.

I think this is a Asus TF issue. I think this is a current firmware bug. HDMI output works fine on my Xoom but not on my TF...

I also have this issue and just received a firmware update a couple of days ago. Still isn't working...

I have a stock un-rooted Transformer with the same problem. HDMI out normally works great, but no Google Videos. Bummer especially that I just bought several from their $.99 special for the weekend.
Any fix or patch?

I just got my TF last week, rented a movie over the weekend and same issue. I have searched in a few places, and similar issues come up based on the TV brand, but from looking here, it seems even with compliant ones, it's an issue. I first thought it was a bug in my tablet, but apparently not. I have a 6 year old Panasonic plasma, if it matters. But again, everything else outputs fine, just not Market movies.

we should contact ASUS

Are we sure it's an Asus thing? We need to see if other HC tablets do this, or do we know that already? I know someone with a Xoom, but no idea if he's tried this. Anyone else?

From what others have said (in others and this thread included), Yes I believe this is just an Asus issue. I've heard the Xoom displays fine.

No. This is NOT an Asus issue. This is a Movie industry issue. They just don't want you seeing the movie in a bigger screen for fear you will show it to a much larger audience. The movie Industry is greedy and F* UP and the paid normal users are suffering for their greed and paranoia....

Can you please provide the link where you saw that? I don't see it in this thread and didn't find it elsewhere when I searched. Definitely could have missed it, though.

HDMI out with rented videos?

So obviously there is some sort of DRM issue preventing me from watching rented videos from Android Market via HDMI out to a TV. All politics aside on why I think that is wrong, is there a way around it? Maybe a different player that will play them and still allow me to HDMI out to a TV?
Thanks in advance, and if this is breaking some sort of rule please close this thread as I don't mean to cause trouble.

So has anyone been able to figure out how to do this?

play/streaming movies to tv?

Im trying to find some way to stream movies from my phone to my TV. From whatvive read the mhl HDMI adapter doesnt work so I tried the bubbleupup app and it works but the movies play extremely choppy.

If you buy the Samsung MHL adapter, it actually does does work very nicely. It's like 40 dollars on Verizon website. It has the cable to hook up to your phone, a slot for a charger to keep your phone from dying and and female HDMI adapter for your TV. I use GalaxyMod RLS 16 and I watch movies from my phone straight to my Hd TV without any problems. Price is kinda steep but works great. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help from what I was reading online it didn't work.

mirroring s7 screen with netflix

I have a s7 which I use screen mirror to show my phone on my Samsung smart tv. (For reference before you ask tv has no Internet and phones got unlimited data) I mirror my screen with you tube and other video services, two weekends ago I mirrored netflix and watch 2 movies. This weekend when I connect with netflix running it just connects and then disconnects. If I connect then open netflix, as soon as it opens the screen goes black and disconnects. I tried netflix support and they was unhelpful. I also connected my TV and downloaded a firmware update, thinking that was a issue. Phones up to date and all involved devices are up to date.
I wonder about copyright issues with digital media, can't mirror to second screen for recording. I asked netflix, of course he said no. However I don't think he understood what I was asking. Props to him for doing his job, however I needed someone with knowledge of their software.
I also just tried it from my asus tablet and same issue. So multiple devices and same issue, comon item is the tv. I performed a factory reset on my TV and no resolve and updated firmware version.
Like I said before it worked 2 weeks ago, now it doesn't. However youtube, fullscrean, directv, and Hulu all work just fine.
Any suggestions?

Same problem here. I found your post because I am trying to resolve. It seems to be a problem with Netflix, since it's the only app that forces the screen mirroring to close. I hope someone has an answer soon. I just got really hooked on watching Netflix again since we've been able to download their shows and watch later. I don't have internet at home, but can download over wifi at work. Come on, guys! Help us out.

I know I'm on a trial of netflix, however I don't see a use in keeping it... a 5in screen if I can't share to my 70in. Phones to small and tablet isn't much better.

Any one got a idea, come on people need assistance here...

My netflix works fine streaming from both my S7 and my HTC 10, difference is it's a Panasonic Tv. Samsung TV's are a PITA i've found and I struggled to screen cast to two different Samsung TV's with my S7.
Not what you want to hear i'm sure.

I understand what your saying but how come all works until Netflix is open. Once the loading N appears it disconnects and won't reconnect until I close the Netflix app. I will make a video of it tomorrow. I'll also try to track down someone with a smart TV to try theirs.

Same problem here..any info would be greatly appreciated...Hulu direct tv everything else works fine except for netflix..some days it will work most days no luck..my tv is a sharp roku tv and it worked fine until late recently

I understand what he's saying about a Samsung TV, but you got a sharp. Also it's multiple devices and only one single app that's common having the issue. Directv, vudu and full screen works fine, so does youtube.

the cheap is you buy some cheap wireless router and sync with your samsung s7 or make wifi hotspot from your samsung s7 and then connect your smart tv. but remember maybe when you share screen this share send data to samsung and all share that you see it can see samsung too. yestarday i share samsung s7 with my smart tv and when i block the smart tv program it didnt work, so maybe it when you unblock the screen sharing it send all what you see with samsung, and man be carefull becouse when you netflix screen share maybe it record what you screen share, this too do it teamviewer, you screen share with teamviewer but after that teamviewer can see all what you had screen share, and if you ask teamviewer to stop record your screenshare they will lie like obama.

What about sharing from my Asus tablet, also tv doesn't have Internet. Only the Asus and s7, they connect to the TV via direct WiFi connection.

if your tablet support make wifi virtual router then it will work. im glad that your tc donr have internet becouse you pay much money and they spy on peoples and i kust remember if you have laptop then it too can make virtual router, you need to see in windows and in linux.

Has anyone had any success? This seems like a failing issue to get resolved. There has to be some one there smart, I'm a 13 year network administrator and I've hit a snag. I see multiple people with issues, yet no resolution.

Haha brain fart.... I totalled missed the pita... I got it...

Just a thought but is it looking for your TV & phone to be connected to the same WiFi network (through a router) rather than using WiFi Direct? Just a distinction I found when pairing my account with an app eg. Waukitv.

Unless the hardware is relying on it, I don't think so. The only Netflix setting is a selection of internet speed. The purpose of Wi-Fi direct is a private direct connection. Also just got the Android N update and still no difference... Also wow it changed the looks of my phone. Especially the settings window. :laugh:

I am having the same exact problem. I have a pretty for signal 4G 2 bars, but I still can watch other things using screen mirroring...just not netflix...which is the only one I really wanted to watch. Any luck at all, anyone?

No it's been several weeks, I'm seeing same issue with multiple devices and tv's across the board.
Hopefully someone can give us a solution, I plan on calling Netflix tomorrow and trying to talk to a developer.

I really hope they have an answer for you. I called the general line on Sunday...got pushed to Verizon...then to Samsung...they all say it is the other ones problem....I am betting on Netflix. Keep us in the loop.

I called Netflix and didn't stop pushing until I made it to a engineer, the only screen mirror software they support is second screen and google cast. Other may work but are found to be unstable and unreliable. I will follow up once I've had a chance to test with my results.
