Hi,
Does anyone know of anyway or of an app, to have the TF screen shut down while using HDMI? I often use my TF to watch Netflix on my TV, I noticed some apps do show a blank screen but they don't shut it down.
Thanks for any info,
John
With the sotck firmware it's not possible. Maybe with a custom kerlnel. I doubt it though. I have to same issue ;-)

As said there's not a shut down but there is a thread about a low dim that can be achived..I was looking the other day at it..when get time will post back with the link.

Thanks guys,
I think I will write Asus and ask them to think about adding this in a future update, dont know if it will do any good, but cant hurt to ask.
I would be interested in that link about dimming

Took a while to find it..
Search functions sucks in tapatalk..
But for now I think this is what you are looking for.

There has been discussions in the prime thread on in too but turning your pad upside down to me is not really the ideal way to deal with this.
Actually I got to run some tests once I am back home as i seem to remember that a Chinese tv streamer I use..pptv outputs to the hdmi and leaves the pad black..
I got to confirm this again..as away for the weekend in the countryside.

Hi,
Thanks for the link, however, I just installed the new 9.2.1.11 US update (I guess it is ics??) and the netflix is, it isnt ****ting the screen off but it is blanking it. I can see the glow so it is on but no picture. I will check the thread out.
I would like to know more about the tv streamer, I think I know what it is (I have used on PC but never on the TF.
thanks again!!
John
I will play with once back home tomorrow as I am in China so have flawless speeds with it..also upgrading to ICS tonight so will be able to post back..
The reason I brought it up..means they have written some code to do it in the program..so it might be able to be reversed engineered, just a thought.
There's another link in the Zoom thread on this too..

MobiTv apk from the Samsung vibrant from T-mobile. Live streaming works but on demand content says "content not currently available. Please try again later" like on the HD2 you get 30 days free after the trial its $9.99 a month.

If somebody wants to rehost it let me know via PM. I uploaded this from my nexus, no PC :-(
Thanks man! I'll be trying this out soon
good find dude.
Becareful, it looks like it automatically subscribes you to charge you on your phone bill. Not are if it will do it with art but T-Mobile users beware or u might end up with an unwanted 10$ charge on your bill.
Not working for me.. just sits on a black screen

Running for me. Have not been able to get 'On Demand' just like the rest of you. Cool app though...
live tv works but whenever i try to make the video fullscreen i just get a blank white screen with audio.
How many of I are having problems with audio not being loud enough not using headphone.

So does this charge you to use it?
Doesn't work for me. Cyanogenmod 5.0.8
i'm running c.m 6.0 and all i get is a black screen...
It works for me. It starts you out with a 30 day free trail then you gota pay after that
I'm going to install it as a /system/app to see if it makes a difference. That's where I pulled it from on the vibrant. Will report back later.
Edit: ok when i try to push it into /system/app it says that MobiTV.apk is read only. Any way to change that?
Edit: It did not make a difference if its /system/app
its only work on wifi other wise still get the black screen on on tmo 3g
Does not work on Droid. Sits at loading screen and shows it is pulling data but never does anything.with WiFi on, it prompts me to turn it off in order to finish configuration, which it never does over 3G.
pretty impressive, live tv options seem to work. I dont know much about mobitv but i really want television on my phone. Will the full app be available for N1 users or is this as good as itll get for us? thanks
Mines working perfectly. Wonder if it will still run after 30 days. Designed for samsung. If you want live tv on the phone get a slingbox.

Getting the same problem! How did you guys get it to work?
EDIT: Tried it about 3 times and now it works!
EDIT: Needs WiFi after it works to load videos.. sound is VERY low, you need headphones!
Before anyone gets angry....
I tried searching "cancel update", "cancel postpone update", and a couple other combinations - still can't find the thread I'm looking for.
I remember reading that there is a way to cancel updates that have already been pushed to the device. After reading the reviews of 3.2 - I think I'll hold off for now... but the only option I have is to postpone (2 more times).
Can anyone shed light on how to permanently stop the update?
Thanks!

It won't automatically update and install! you will get a notification (in your notification bar ) that an update is available, it will ask you if you want to install the update, just click no.
After reading all the posts on here i'm definately not installing it.

Who told you this nonsense ? I am on 3.2 right now and wifi works exactly like on PRIME 1.6 (3.1 based)
Only issue I've had after 3.2 is Dice Player not loading, but think that's fixed now haven't found the new ver yet, so dunno what peeps are complaining about.
3.2 works great. It's definitely better than 3.1. I dont see a reason not to update unless your tab is rooted.
Does it fix everything people here wanted? Definitely no.
When you get your hope too high, you are going to be disappointed.
A lot of people here act like spoiled whinning kids .
They have no clue about how much work required to debug, program and test it.
They just want everything to be fixed in days. This happens to 3rd party developers as well and that's why they dont feel like their work being appreciated.
Seriously, enjoy what you have.

A lot of people here also preach about things, ignorantly making the assumption they know what others want.
Enjoying what I have is exactly what I want to do. I use remote connect to my PC all the time - and the new "circle" mouse pointer is a deal breaker for me. I'd simply like to stick with the pointer I have now.
As for the option to say "no" to the update... when is that given? My wife tells me "hey your computer told me to update" (awesome)... so now all I have is the "update" or "postpone" prompt. Will I still get the option?
Thanks!
You can allways try to freeze the DMClient app. Stopped me from getting the update.

I have not noticed any new issues with 3.2. My wifi & gps still work. In fact one problem seems to have gone away for the time being. That was having to push the power button multiple for my transformer to wake up.
Th default browser still suck with the lag & crashes.

I'm having at least:
- wi-fi problems (connection drops every couple of minutes, major speed decrease)
- browser window refreshing/redrawing much slower
Btw, for the wi-fi a possible temporary solutions is to set the connection to static as opposed to DHCP (the connection drops seem to be connected to DHCP). Also, take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16169854&postcount=32

Sorry I quoted the wrong person in my last post. Opera is really starting to piss me off. I tried editing my post 4 time and Once I hit save my text would disappear.
Would you mind elaborating on the inability to write to SD? I am on 3.2 and I can write to SD so you have me curious
-Dan
I don't know if there are other meanings of "write to SD" but I ugraded to 3.2 about 20 mins ago and I just created a ".doc" file with Polaris Office and saved directly to my external SD. I also created and deleted a folder from the stock file manager...
WOW, some people are so easilly swayed by what they read on the internet...
Clearly a site like XDA attracts people with problems and people that like to moan, the million other Asus Transformer owners that are perfectly happy don't count?
Get some perspective...
question: Can i disable the notification that comes up all the time asking me if i want to update?
Hulu Plus is available for Transformer on Google Play.
Yay!
Does it have titles that are only available on the Web? (I tried out the app on XBOX and it was ridiculous to pay for a service only to have a lot of the titles available by web only).
The only one I have in my queue that is web only is How I Meet Your Mother. It says it is web only so it looks like they are still blocking certain shows.
So is it working for you guys? I can browse but getting an error when I try to play a show. DRM Engine not supported on this device. I have Codename Android ROM installed. The old hacked app worked fine but the new one definitely looks better.
Yes. I am on rooted stock rom.
And then disables HDMI out on said tablets

Response from Hulu - HDMI Output Disabled
Michael K., Mar 30 10:28 am (PDT):
Hi,
Thanks for writing in and sorry for the confusion. Currently we are unable to support the HDMI out feature on the ASUS eee Pad Transformer due to content licensing reasons. We're actively looking into freeing up these rights and hopefully we'll be able to offer it in the near future. In any case, I'm sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.
If there's anything else you'd like addressed, please be sure to let me know.
Thanks,
Michael K.

Typical canned response I got after I asked about the HDMI output being disabled.

No settings that I'm aware of for HDMI. I just plug it into my TV and change the TV input. Can view anything that is displayed on the screen.
Has anyone got this working yet on a rooted device?
Sorry if a solution has already been found but this works as well. The tegra 3 splashtop app is amazing. I'm on my home network and it works perfectly. So I just use the web version of hulu and it supports fullscreen. Don't know how well it would work on wifi discovery. But at least, if you are at home and want to watch through hdmi it works great

This has been available for a while now. No reason it shouldn't work with our phone, as we have dlna software installed (assuming you're using the stock ROM). I use my phone to stream to my sony NMP-N200 all the time... and it almost usually works.
?
I have a rom that has middle option configurations hd link, I only need the device hehehehe if anyone would like me to discuss tested.
the rom is:

DLNA is awesome. I used it on my EVO Shift when I ported it into my ROM. At first I was like sweet I can use wireless to view my sdcard, then it scared the heck out of me (I'm paranoid) so I stopped using it.

Hmm a bit behind times are we?
Depends on what roms your running for 1.
Ultragen rom has TV out. I tried it, was going to use my phone as a smart TV function to see xbmc movies, and doesn't work for me. Maybe not the right cable.

What about on stock? Right now I'm on galaxy beam
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
It works on stock.
Could we get someone with a little knowledge to elaborate on this topic? I've been trying to get tv out my phone for two years. The ONLY rom I've ever been able to get it to work with is Ultragen. I don't like ICS though. Does anyone know of a BML rom in which tv out will work? Does anyone know WHY it matters what rom you have? Or maybe how to change something somewhere to make it function properly? I would LOVE to be able to get it working on Valhalla Final.......
I keep hearing ....its a matter of the right cables....I've purchased several cables at different price ranges...and hooked them up multiple ways and the best I've managed to get is a very distorted partially visible snowy screen with audio.
And that's with every rom.
From what I understood is it works on CM9, but there is a green line when you change the rotation.
Alternatively, if what you want is to display pictures or videos from your gallery on TV
and assuming you have Smart TV hooked up to your router. You could use iMediaShare
app, (or any DLNA capable app in the market) it works wonders, to stream any video
or pictures from your phone (or youtube) to your TV. Without the hassle of cables
and such.
Besides, I used RCA cables before with our phone, and picture quality is (outright) crap.
Thanks all for the input. Smart TV, which I just purchased anyway, is a pretty good option.
My main interest in the feature was the ability to play emulators from my phone on the tv.
I read a post FBis251 wrote about being able to sync your wiimote to your smartphone so you could use it as a controller for your emulators.
Not too big a deal, as I don't travel often, it would just be neat.
Once again, thanks for the input all.

I'm by no means trying to take away from what the devs do, it simply amazes me, but there has to be a way of getting the feature to work.
I would not go as far to say the roms are incomplete without the feature, as it wouldn't be used that often, but come on guys, how cool would it be to have a multi platform emulator on the fly!?!?

Nope.
It works on GB. Go back to GB, stay on GB and use TV out.
@lumin30-I'm so sorry man. I just read your post and realized I forgot to thank you for your pm response. My bad my man.
I haven't figured it out on GB. I got it on the Ultragen, which I believe is ICS, so anytime I need the feature I just switch to my Ultragen backup.
Only downside is I haven't figured out how to get back to GB other than Odin, which really isn't a big deal either, just a little inconvient.
Tv out works on ics but has a green bar at bottom of screen in landscape but not in portrait. Here are instructions with pics and a link to a video. Make sure you select NTSC. For some reason default PAL. Also make sure your 3.5mm jack has 4 pins like the one in the pic.
