Hi, I am using HDMI mirroring on the xoom with EOS ICS Nightly v 37. Is there any way I can have the system bar be shown while I am mirroring the screen on a television?
Don't think you can do that since you'd have to scale the video output. Xoom's LCD is 16:10 to allow for the status bar to not interfere with a full 16:9 image. I've never tried hooking up the Xoom to a 16:10 display though...
is there no way to close the display on xoom
when using hdmi playing movie i would love to have my xoom close his display down and just mirror it to the lcd.
can we do that?
Sadly I don't think so, but there are some 3rd party apps for HDMI mirroring. Never tried anything, but that would be one of my biggest wishes for one.

I went out and bought a micro HDMI to HDMI cable at frys the other day. It shows the picture and all but the xoom lags like none other when I put it in. Even a short swipe of the screen makes it pop up the add new widgets, wallpapers and so on. I was wondering what could be the problem with it? Its a non-rooted wifi only xoom.

Though this was working fine before! !!!!!
Mine works great with my LG set. The only thing when I plug it in the black bar at the bottom doubles in size on the xoom and doesn't reset after I unplug it. I have to reboot anyone have a fix?

I picked up a the cord and it worked great.
The only issue I found was neither tv I tried it on could adjust overscan. On one tv the size adjustments were greyed out? and the other didn't respond to changes to picture size.
I will test this when I get my cable this week, should have by Tuesday.

Does your TV have some sort of smoothing like running at 120Hz or 240 in some cases? If there's a "game" mode then usually that runs at 60Hz without a delay because it doesn't have to interpolate in-between frames.

Confirmed this works just change your AV setting on your tv and find the one that works best.

Glad that helped.
Well I tried again today and I found the reboot problem is ONLY with the Youtube, but not with any other applications ... can somebody confirm if they has issues watching Youtube through HDMI !
Is anyone having a problem with the hdmi signal cutting out on their g2x? i plug it in and i was watching a netflix movie, it would go black for about 2 seconds and then show again. Thought it might be a netflix problem till i tried youtube and also playing a movie off of my sdcard. The picture looks great and it seems to be working perfect accept for the screen going black. Its pluged into a50 inch plasma 1080p tv and im using eaglebloods gingerbread rom which doesnt have hmdi options in the settings is this an issue with that rom?
same.
I have the problem, its so annoying, only happens when mirroring hd video. Maybe its the cheap ebay cable im using? or the rom?
if you guys are using CM7 its a common issue since CM doesnt support HDMI output. thats why there isnt a setting of it, of course it still works with games and everything but the movie playing is what it has a problem with. hope this helps
Hello, i used to have an atrix... then a photon and i still got them around but ofc im using the Infuse.
I was used to the WebTOP thing those motorola phones included in wich with just a bit of modifications it was an actually funtional "large screen" mobile computer; as soon as i got the Infuse i go and try the HDMI to realize its just HDMI "mirroring" so it just displays what you have on he screen... so seemengly "useless" at that time i went for rogers GB base ROMs since i wasnt gonna use HDMI.
Anyways now that i see the kernel problem with Rogers GB that didnt let HDMI go out its fixed with the J2 leak i went curious about HDMI again. Still whats the big deal to create the WebTOP display and can it be " ported" easily to Samsung? Or its device specific too hard etc etc?
Would be nice to not just have HDMI mirror but a kind of "WebTOP" for the Infuse since you can turn it into an awesome " micro laptop" with about 15 minuts of mods run full ubuntu etc.
Closest i have found its this:

If anyone could be so kind of explaining me whats the deal about only motorola being able to run a WebTOP OR if its possible to just pull the apks from my photon/atrix and run them on Infuse?

Web top is lame, hwy I can run Web apps and browse Web sites like any other browser. I really don't get it.
You can actually run Linux in place of the Web top on the atrix but it had limitations last I looked. But yeah it is kinda motorola specific. Though if you install Linux to the sd card it is possible to ruin it along side Android. Then with a set of apps you may be able to access it with vnc software through Android to display the GUI on an hdmi device.
I'd imagine this would be slow and take a while to setup but it could be fun try.

Yeah i mean i know you can basicly run browser like desktop etc, still maybe its my bigscree or my infuse but it scales so ugly it doesnt quite looks " HD" and the fact that its always portrait unless you open a video... maybe im playing wrong with MHL and my big screen but the videos dont look as good as i would expect, and again i repeat maybe im doing somethign wron but i sometimes use netflix on my infuse and put it on the bigscreen by the MHL adaptor and it looks UGLY choppy slow etc... if im doing something wrong would be nice if someone helped me out... its a 52" 1080p screen im connecting directly the MHL to hd cable to tv... and running froyo stock atm... looks bad videos look choppy dar sounds sometimes syncs off etc...
thats why i asked about the webtop cause it created an external emvironmet "ugly one" still looked so good while running videos etc that i could say " hey now thats hd"

Yeah the scaling sux, but video playback isn't mirrored the phone screen should be off and it should output high Res video. A lot of the hdmi stuff is closed source and I don't know if the devs can figure out a way to interface with it. I wouldn't be optimistic about a better way.
Are you playing videos pdf the sd card oder flash off websites? If the Samsung player is running and you go full screen it should look ok. If it is windowed or uses the flash powered video player then there isn't any way I know of to get better than 480x800 res with bad upscaling. Try forcing the TV into 480p and see if the sharpness improves, other than that, I guess you have to deal with it.

Hmm idk how netflix works to be honest... but the screen nevers goes off while im playing a movie... that puts the phone temp REALLY hot after 2.30 hrs of playing with the screen on... i havent tried any videos directly from Video player i was saying Netflix quiality trough HDMI SUCKED haha...ill give it a shot at forcing the tv to go 480p thats actually a nice idea i didnt had... tnks man.
You are lucky you can even mirror Netflix. Samsung can't even allow there own media hub to mirror, the studios won't allow it. It would be too ready to record and distribute, media hub videos are only licenced to playback on the device. running mhl only gives you a message about how it isn't supported.

Lol thats true, then ill stick with what i can get hahaha.
I have been trying out Netflix on my TF700 and displaying on a 120hz 1080p Vizio. The sound is very out of sync with the video. This is using the HDMI port on the TF700, no bluetooth involved. During the movie there were several times when the picture became very mottled and blotchy like the video processor couldn't keep up and reduced resolution. Is the poor performance the App's fault, ICS, or what ever.
The Netflix App is so poor it is painful to use. Will be cancelling the free trial just because the App is so bad.

Get wifi analyzer from the market and see if you can choose a better (less occupied) wifi channel. The blotch is typically reduced resolution due to the connection, not the processor. Thanks to prolific hardware decoding, tegra 3 coasts through video.
Can't speak for the sync issue though. Is it in sync when you aren't using HDMI-out?
If you were using MX player, I'd say use s/W decoding for audio out of sync issues. Bit Netflix doesn't let you change those kinds of settings. Do like other poster said and try a less crowded channel.
ASUS hasn't updated the HDMI features on the Firmware version for the Infinity, it lacks a couple options that allowed you to properly fit your tablet to your HDTV's display.
The Transformer Prime has these options in it's latest firmware released several months ago, but these options are absent in the Infinity.
My only hope is that these issues are resolved once ASUS ever get around to releasing Jelly Bean for the Infinity.
I have the same problem with my new infinity. The prime it replaced worked very well with the Netflix app.
I do not see similar problems with
other video, so far.
BS player as well has great reviews and tons of features

Just tried watching a movie on the TF screen and everything was in perfect sync. The HDMI output appears to be where the out of sync condition is being introduced.
I haven't tried Netflix with the HDMI out. On my Evo 4G, when I do it, it sometimes gets out of sync. You just have to stop, and restart the movie. It works most of the time.
As for Netflix, when in the app, if it's laggy as all can be, go into the developers section in settings and turn on force 2D. It helps significantly. Read it somewhere on here and tried it. Might even help with the sync issue.
Thanks for the 2g tip makes netflix work much better. Scrolling with normal settings is terrible even without hdmi. Works normally after changing settings force 2g.

I did change force 2g to on. Netflix works much better. Voice did sync on hdmi in netflix and YouTube. A little delay on Netflix until stream got going about 1 min. I had forgotten to turn off program running on roku so i had two streams at same time. Since Netflix was almost unusable with 3g excel on and using hdmi, i did not try sync test.

I've found that my infinity doesn't output 1080p on the HDMI. Works on YouTube which leads me to believe its the Netflix app itself. Are you guys using the stock Netflix app or threaD modded one?

When i first hooked up tf i had a small boarder off screen on tv. I changed tv settings to adjust vertically and screen resized properly. I had no problems viewing netflix on hdmi to my tv. Video did not play on tf, but did show everything else.
I recently change my dsl from 1.6 meg to 12 meg. Huge difference. I am amazed that Netflix can stream at slower speeds but quality goes way down. I've read that you need at least 4 to 6 meg for good playback. Problems with playback may be caused by slow dsl.
Test on resolution of tv
Tv shows 1920 x 1080 on home screen of tf. When Netflix plays video tv shows 1280 x 720. Tf is changing hdmi output depending on what its playing.
Hulu plus will not play on hdmi.
Amazon plays through browser standard def.
Stock Netflix

To remove the bottom on screen navigation keys with HDMI out enabled:
Go to Settings, then click on the HDMI category at the bottom. The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen will disappear and you will have native 1920 x 1080 full screen output on the TV.
It's really weird that clicking the HDMI category / row instantly removes the navigation keys. It would have been better to have a show / hide preference in the HDMI settings pane...
So I connected the tablet to my tv today via the hdmi out and had some odd color issues. Reds and yellows were way off. Has anyone else tried connecting this way and had any problems? Thanks
No problems here with a Samsung tv connected to it.

You didn't tweak any settings on the tv or tablet? I connected to an lg tv and have never had any issues with anything else that I've ever connected to it.

What you mean with "way off"? They aren't displayed as they should be or they have another hue? Show a picture if possible.
Try going to settings - HDM and change to "Native" instead sRBG in Colour correction preset.
I will redo the test and look especially for red and yellow colors and come back to you.

So I tried on another tv (hitatchi, first one was an lg). Screen mirroring worked better than console mode. The resolution was off in console mode. Colors weren't bad, but switching from sRGB to native didn't make much of a difference.
