Sensation Hdmi out - HTC Sensation

Sooooo I just bought the micro USB to hdmi adapter dongle so I could output video from my sensation to my TV. sadly the quality for videos and pictures is not as good as I was hoping; there's a little too much noise and cookies just aren't very crisp. Are there any drivers I can flash to increase the quality? Or, are the drivers in ice cream sandwich better? Any info appreciated

What resolution are the videos you're trying to play?

Just standard YouTube videos and such. even pictures alone there's that noise where the color just doesn't look quite right. Really hard to explain

I bought one and it worked great on my LCD tv. Netflix and games, YouTube, everything works well. But at a Hampton Inn, the tv kept resetting the HDMI interface. The phone kept playing the movie, etc. But the TV wouldn't play the video.
I suppose the interface of the TV is hosed 'cause its a hotel model and needs to fail if it's stolen.

HDMI Input?

Hi,
Is there any possible way for HDMI or Tv input, say from a camera?

You mean like watching pictures from eg a camera on the DHD screen? If that's the case then no.
Edit: You can ofcourse always move the files to your microsd card and watch them that way.
Yes if you can get the camera streaming the signal over wifi. Other than that - no way you can get a live feed on the DHD's screen.

You can use the inbuilt DLNA feature to transmitt movies and music over a network.
But you need a DLNA compatible TV or a Xbox or ps3
I have some problem...

[Q] Question about movie format

I just have a quick question on movie formats and such for phones. As I've been reading for months, the HTC Sensation 4G is supposed to have a screen that is 16:9, which eliminates the need for the "black bars" in movies.
However, I've put two movies on the phone and both of them had the black bars, but played flawlessly. I was just wondering what I was doing wrong. Does the movie have to be a specific format to fit the phone perfectly (without just stretching it out to fit on the video player itself).
Maybe your movie itself has the black bars?

It depends on the aspect ratio of the movie you are watching. Many films are 2.39:1 and so you will have black bars. Some 1.85:1 films will fill the screen depending on how they were issued. All HD TV content is 16:9 and will fill the screen.

I have an issue with playing a movie on the Sensation...
Movie is in Real Media format.
During playback, it was slightly laggy...
Also after playing for a while, it quits itself.
No force close msg or watsoever just out of the movie.
Tried several players still the same.
Movie plays fine on PC and my other phone Incredible S.
Anyone got this problem also or any solution?

Netflix through HDMI

The Netflix apparently works great on my g2x,so I tried using HDMI to my 720p TV and it comes out crappy video quality. Dual video on the phone and TV, phone looks great. The TV looks pixelated and stretched.
Anyone have a solution?

[Q] APP/MOD/HACK for Mic Gain while recording video

Hello!
Everyone knows about a piece of software which makes the camera record loud sound as for example on the iPhone4/4S?
Yesterday I recorded a video (Stereo recording UNCHCEKED) in a club - the video quality was OK, the sound was a distorted rubbish.
I searched the whole XDA, looks like SGS II has something like this. Anything for the Sensation?
Tried some suggestions - none working
Mine does it as well - I guess its hardware

The microphone of the Sensation is just ****. Nothing you can do about it.
Are you on an ICS Rom? The high gain got fixed in Sense 3.6. Also the camera in the market, Camera ICS, should help also. Its the same camera in the Galaxy Nexus. You can up the bitrate for better looking videos. The sound is mono, but it is not bad.

I have no problems with video. Loud audio (music) just can not be recorded - so far with none of the Android phones it seems.

DSP manager in CM10, no problem to control: the mic input - 4 levels. I can shoot videos with nice audio, for example a Rock Concert.:victory:

Recommendations

Just looking for some suggestions.
I have a pc hooked up to my tv now and it's really quite overkill. All we do with it is stream videos from other computers in the house and watch Netflix.
I'm sure these little android stick things are powerful enough to do this.
Can anyone recommend a good one to replace my puter? Just need to be able to stream HD Netflix and play videos.
Thanks!

If it's just videos, probably any of the dual-core devices will do fine. You may need to use an Android 4.1 rom, as the Netflix app is broken on 4.2 for most or all of these sticks.
The mk808 and mk808b are both around $45; the former has slightly better support while the latter has Bluetooth. I have the b model, and it is great for Netflix. (I also use it with Debian in the background to run my IRC connection; it's got plenty of excess power for that plus videos.)
