As stated in the title, unfortunately my TV won't let me resize the image while using hdmi mode (don't know why...) and I can't see part of the image.
Is there a fix ? (even rooting)
thanks
I put mine in exact scan mode and it fit the screen correct, if you have that or a PC or gaming mode where it goes 1:1 with the pixels it might look better
Still couldn't fix this issue with my television screen, im attaching an image.
thanks
I have this issue as well. Hate it.. Anyone have a fix?
since I'm rooted I'd flash anything to address this boring issue
My TV has the same problem with different sources. Usually computers. It is a TV problem I think. However, my TV works much better with a smaller input size. It leaves about an inch around the outer edge. Hardly noticable though.
Maybe there could be an app for that. Like SetCPU does with OC's.
I had the same problem since the TV was looking for 1280x720 and the transformer is giving it 1280x800 instead. I was able to fix it using the built in scaling feature on my TV. Its an older Sony 720P DLP TV, so I'm sure most of the newer TVs have a similar scaling feature.

can't understand why but while in HDMI input it won't let resize the image, no problem with AV (like with my xbox)
I wrote about the same issues in another forum (asus transformer forum) and there are other guys experiencing the same issue.
thanks for the replies
I have this to not quite as bad but i cant see the bottom of the screen or a little bit on the edges but the top lines up sweet
I have tried everything hope somebody makes an app or fix for this maybe revolver parts screen resizing !!!!!!
Some tvs suffer from overscan and there is no fix. That being said, www.avsforum.com might be a better place to get more info on tour specific tv

Mx video viewer allows me to pinch to zoom in or out that is what I use cause it was driving me nuts as well.

Don't take this the wrong way but.... could be a cheap tv. My parents have an insignia and there is no 1:1 screen setting even on pc or gaming mode. It always cuts off the over scan space(no overscan).

I had the same overscan problem initially with my toshiba LCD TV, ie. the sides of the transformer desktop were clipped off but i fixed it via the Toshiba's screen adjust settings whereby you can select aspect-ratios such as "16:9", "4:3", "cinema" etc.
The setting that worked for me was "Exact scan". I believe it is called "Native" mode on some other brands of TV.
That's where to look.

Exact scan
Just scan
Native
Pc mode
Usually what it's called. Its just over scanning or a 1:1 pixel matching. But not every tv has this option.

I ended up with the note after replacing my tf101 with the tf300 and tested the note and loved it in every way.
I'm not really even missing the keyboard dock and finding many ways to use the spen on a regular basis.
What I'd love though is to basically use the note as a digital whiteboard for teaching. Essentially to be able to write in smote or quill while sending the screen display over wifi to the PC connected to the projector system. Is there any way to do this? To do a live screencast from the note to a PC?

Have had zero luck even getting it to connect. PC install didn't work at work, tried at home and apparently needed to let it restart and then install all over. Still cannot connect the device though, device always scans when I turn on AllShare cat in network and Allshare on the PC recognizes an "intel" device. Thought for sure the Note would appear there.
Any tips on how to use it?
Does it actually do this? I gave up on it because what I see on Samsung's website only talks about sharing music/video and I didn't see any mention of streaming the tablet display to the PC. (Except the idea that you could watch a game on the PC, but see nothing about this in the app itself.)

Were you able to figure this out? I'm a teacher as well and do things with my HP tablet, but really want to with many Note.
You can execute AllShare through Samsung Kies, as well.
My suggestion would be to try and look at Remotes. You may be able to find drawing input ones. I use Unified Remote for using my phone/tablet as an input device. Although, the free version is limited to about 13 remotes or so. With the pro version you get it up in it's 50's. I'm not sure if this has what you're looking for but you can make your own custom remotes.
Or, alternatively, you can use a Remote Desktop client. Some of these may adjust your screen resolution on the PC so it fits well in the Note 10, but you can easily change it back. But it'll effect the view on the tablet. For this, I use Splashtop 2 HD.

What is Samsung Kies and what is Remotes?
I've done some investigating and I think the only way that AllShare works to screencast to another device is to send it to an AllShare Play device. Unfortunately I don't think (but really hope I'm wrong) the PC software works this way.
I'm curious, has anyone tried the VNC Server for Android and tried connecting in a view mode on a PC?

This is the setup I use and would suggest to everone in need to present from Galaxy Note 10.1:
buy Allshare Cast dongle , search for it on Amazon
buy HDMI to VGA adapter
connect HDMI to VGA adapter to projector and Allshare to A/C
on Note 10.1, Settings/More Settings/AllShareCast, the dongle will be detected something like "Dongle-xxxxx", tap to connect
When connected, start to present, wireless, move in the room, take the S-Pen and highlight the important topics etc.
On that way, no hassles with connection to PC/laptop and then to projector. AND the coolness factor is priceless! Every time I present there is a WOW factor, the downturn is sometimes people are not listening to my presentation but wants to see the technology.
And the Apple fanboys in the meetings around with their iPads - can you imagine several of them told me "nah, that is PROPRIETARY technology" !? LOL! I was very respectful before to other people opinions and personally I am very thankful to the genius work of Steve Jobs but in recent time I simple shoot back very sharp - face it, Apple funboy!

I don not own any Apple product and cannot say anything about it.
Everything what you can see on your Note 10.1 screen you are seeing parallel on the second display. I have tested it with several projectors from Dell, Sony, signal to those devices over their VGA ports and the experience is exactly the same to one with the laptop connected to the projector. The best result is via HDMI port, majority of the business projectors do not have one but monitors and TV have them and the result is gorgeous, beside the screen the audio is transferred too.
The video player is optimized for the AllShare Cast, when playing you can see the video on the second screen and on Note 10.1 you have the control menu.
Polaris office works fine too, same experience, WYSIWYG on both screens. For slides (aka PowerPoint), when connected to AllShare Cast dongle, the slide show button clicked shows the selection of
Primary display
Dual monitor
Controller & Note
but only the Primary display selection switches to presenter mode. Even then, the pen modes is active so you can annotate with S-Pen direct on the slides during the presentation, the killing feature for me.
Small downturn - multiscreen is not working when connected to Allshare Cast dongle, only single screens, but the floating helicopter videos is working and that is impressive for entertaining the people after the work is done :fingers-crossed:.

That sounds amazing. I'd love to see a video of it all in action. Sounds great, especially being able to run a presentation and markup with the pen, but would like to see it before dropping about $100 on the setup.
I've been testing splashtop whiteboard but have had problems getting it to connect. Sometimes it will.... sometimes it won't. Would prefer to just screencast and run everything from the tablet anyway. The presentation mode sounds impressive and ability to swith into Sketchbook or snotes would be great.

First off thank you for your help and input. My school is going to purchase this for me but I have one additional question. We do not have HDMI projectors in our building. I was wondering if an HDMI-VGA adapter would work? It will not provide true 1080P but that is a non-issue for me. I only want to be able to project the S-Note or any note app so my students can take notes on what I am writing. Again thank you for your help.

I use Gold Plated Premium HDMI to VGA Active M/F Adapter in White by Cable Matters (still cannot post links, just search for it on amazon) and it works, tested on several company's Dell and Sony projectors with VGA port.
FYI - I filed a support ticket with Polaris Office about not being able to use the different display modes. This was their response.
Dear customer,
Thank you for the inquiry.
We knew this issue already, we’re working on it now.
We’ll try hard to figure out the issue and let you know as soon as we’ve got the solution.
Please be patient and understand about it.
We will try hard to repay you for all your kindness.
Thanks for your interest.

Hopefully they have a solution soon. The only thing that would improve this setup is being able to use the Controller & Note presentation mode.
Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? .I can project the screen when the dongle is connected with HDMI, but when I connect with an HDMI to VGA converter the Allshate Cast automatically shuts down and the Note restarts.

Did you figure this out? I would not like to make the dongle purchase if this is bound to happen....
did anyone manage to solve the display mirroring to PC software?
I found another way to get very good results in mirroring wirelessly from Note to PC: Teamviewer. Download the free app from the play market, and also the free PC client from the Teamviewer website. A tad laggy, but works well for presentations.

could tell me please the type of hdmi to vga adapter exactly with the manufacturing code, there is a lot of staff on the market and I am pretty sure not all of them are working, thanks
I just got the dongle. It works great!
A few comments:
(1) For rooted device (like mine), the app "triangle away" is needed. The dongle works after (but not before) I reset the counting using triangle away. For un-rooted devices (the device is un-rooted if you didn't root it yourself) it shouldn't be an issue.
(2) The dongle works with a hdmi-VGA converter. The one I bought is this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cable-Matte...7O2U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358947513&sr=8-1
I am sure lots of other converters should work as well. But there may be two things to note. It would be safer if
(a) "Active" converters should have more chance to work than "passive" converters. There is an IC chip in active converters. The passive ones are just data lines.
(b) Make sure the converter does not need too much power to work. The one I bought is raspberry PI compatible. This typically mean the converter the current it draws from the device is not too large. In some previous post it is mentioned the dongle could reset when connected to VGA converters. I doubt it may because of too much power required by the converter.
(3) I didn't notice any lag or instability issues with 30 minutes of use (I installed a firmware update before usage. The discovery of update and installation is automatic. I just clicked OK).
I didn't (and will not) use it to play games or watch movies anyway. I only want to use it to do presentations via projectors. Games and movies transfers much more data, in which case I haven't tested.
I will update if I got problems using the dongle for a longer time.
(4) The "multi-window app" feature goes away when the dongle is connected. (It re-appears after disconnection.)
UPDATE:
After more test, there do exist a few problems:
(1) If I play a video in full screen (both youtube video online or downloaded videos using MXplayer), the video is only shown on external display. Even worse, when I exit the full screen mode of the video player, the allshare connection typically crashes. I need to go to settings to connect again (no reboot needed though).
On the other hand, for youtube without going to full screen, there is no problem. And when I compare the two displays, there is no lag between them.
(2) In polaris office, only the "primary display" mode works well. In other two modes, the external screen only update partially.
Both of them should be software problems. If I don't do (1) of the above, I never met crash or disconnections. I didn't test the device with games. There is no random disconnection so far (this is most important for me).
The connection is stable within 10 meters, while it breaks at about 30 meters (together with 2 doors blocking the space).
Finally, there is a drop of display quantity if the image is quickly changing, and I watch closely enough. But considering I only need to display static images, this is not a problem. The display quantity of static images is great. Compared with the TeamViewer + computer solution, the dongle uses less resources on the tablet and gives much better image quality. The usage of battery is not heavily affected either. I used in total 7% battery power per hour for light usage of the tablet with dongle connection (and among which the tablet screen still used most of battery as usual).
hi all, i have bought the above smart tv dongle thingy from maplins
http://www.maplin.co.uk/point-of-view-hdmi-smart-tv-dongle-android-4.1-685649
anyone have one of these? im pretty impressed with it, im not too happy with the menu though and id like to customize it a bit.. any ideas on what can be done with this device?
Thanks
First thing to do with this device
I just got one.
First thing I did was install ADW Launcher Ex on it and get rid of the horrible launcher it came with.
Now I have a very fast 42" tablet, with widgets, live wallpapers the lot, no root required.
This thing has loads of potential, but if you read the customer reviews on Maplin you'll see they haven't understood that this is Android and you can customise the heck out of it.
The only thing I've found missing so far is a lock screen in case you don't want others using it while your not there without unplugging it. I also heard it loses datetime if you unplug it, not surprising as it doesn't have an internal clock battery.
It's surprisingly fast, but if you're mouse pointer will lag under heavy load.
Still exploring potential will post back as I find out more.
Ah thanks! I have since rooted and installed different firmware! I found out that it was a re-branded Rikomagic MK802III and installed the latest firmware for that device which is way better. I have XBMC running alongside MX Player Hardware video decoding, all is sweet. I found out all I needed from this guys post. Enjoy

Point of View HDMI Smart TV dongle - interface & WD My Passport
Hi,
I have just bought the hdmi dongle and m not very technology savvy. One of the main reasons I got it was to be able to connect my WD My Passport to it to play movies etc. However I can't seem to change the settings on the menu - so when I click on Movies - rather than all my separated folders showing up - instead it shows an icon of my 1500 movies (which includes about 750 clips of my kids). I can't seem to find a way to get it to display the folders, or even a list of the movies rather than the huge icons! Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance,
Colette
I really want to buy a rootable android and Pixels seem to be the way to go. However, I'm reading conflicting info about whether or not I'll be able to use 1-2 external monitors with the Pixel 7 Pro. I hoped this wouldn't be necessary.
I'd really like to replace my laptop with a phone that's capable to using 1-2x external monitors (4k resolution not necessary but would be amazing as well - 1080p would be plenty).
From what I see, using a displayport dock via USB-C can enable at least 1 HDMI output:
Project your Pixel phone's screen - Pixel Phone Help
If you have a Chromecast or other device that casts, you can mirror your Pixel phone's screen and audio on
support.google.com
>Tip: Pixel 3 and later Pixel phones work with the MediaGear USB-C Hub Docking Station (item 853265008171). Other docking stations can also work.
Can someone please confirm this is possible and let me know which dock they're using? Also, is there any chance I could use 2 HDMI outputs through the same dock? Or perhaps one USBC-Displayport-HDMI connection + 1 Chromecast connection to enable 2x monitors?
I'd love to be able to code using a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and skip having the carry my laptop around entirely. I have a 1440p portable/external monitor that works wonderfully for both my laptop and my LG V50 ThinQ.
2x monitors would be my dream; the portable external monitor I have is amazingly light and works great (and supports display over USBC and MicroHDMI - plus power over another USBC port). So I'm sure I'd need to plug in in order to operate these for any extended periods but anyway:
Does anyone have experience with this they can share?
Thanks for any/all help. I'm a dev myself so if the solution to this is a custom rom, I'd be happy to contribute to the solution if anyone's working on one.
I will say: My LG V50 ThinQ USBC to USBC video works really well on my portable monitor... So it may be possible to patch that feature into a pixel kernel.
I will definitely look into it once I have the time, if no one else has any hints/progress on the subject.
I will say "technically"... yes. Practically however, nobody has actually bothered.
Should be just a matter of making sure the kernel is built with support for GUD and setting up a monitor with a GUD interface (such as an rPi with the GUD sdcard).
Pixels do not support native, hardware-accelerated video-out.
Any old dock won't work. Only DisplayLink ones and expect performance to be poor.

Not to mention, streaming like Netflix and Hulu won't show. I tried several DisplayLink adapters which claimed HDCP compliance (including this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B072FHTZ8V
with the DL6950 chip:
https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/integrated-chipsets/dl-6000 )
But I could never get any streaming services to work (just black screen once playing started). The rest was acceptable quality (although I wouldn't expect to be able to play games without significant lag and screen tearing). If you find a set up that also works with streaming, please let me know. I'd be very interested in adopting something similar.
***Edit: from DisplayLink's site:
"As the DisplayLink is an app from the Play Store, Android prevents any protected content from video streaming services eg Netflix, Amazon etc, being available to the DisplayLink app. This is an Android restriction to make sure that protected content remains protected and is not available to other applications."

Maybe there is a root workaround, I don't know.
Didn't even know that. Wow.
I still don't forgive Google for removing Miracast.
I really do like Google Cast but that was really anti-consumer.
