[Q] Can HDMI resolution be changed? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My old tv only supports 576p.
I checked several times with Samsung and my retailer before buying my Note 10.1 that it would be compatible via the HDTV adapter and was assured it was.
Its not, nothing appears onscreen on the tv. I have checked with other tv`s that support 1080p and its all fine, so no faulty cable.
Is there a hack or setting I can change to lower the output to 576p?
Thank you in advance.

[Q] MHL Adapter not working on Samung Galaxy Note N7000

Hello All,
Search quite a few threads on xda as well as internet but unfortunately nobody have been facing issue similar to mine.
Okay, let me put it in brief. I bought an original samsung mhl adapter for galaxy s2 from ebay which presumable works well with samsung galaxy note too (haven't seen any MHL Adapter specifically for galaxy note) as heard on forums and web. It did not work. So, i got back to the vendor and he replaced it to me with another MHL Adapter. That too did not work. I got a refund as the vendor was good.
I still somehow wanted the MHL to work so went to a different vendor, known for good products (i.e. flipkart) and purchased another MHL adapter after confirming with the executives that yes it would work with galaxy note. It too isnt working.
In both the cases, the phone gets charged but there are no such notifications (notifications such as USB Host Cable Connected, or Keyboard Connected or MHL Connected etc). I have a working HDMI 1.4 cable (tested and verified), and yes, i am aware that external power is required to the MHL Adapter. .
Now, every other functionality on my phone is working well, like USB Host Mode, bluetooth/usb keyboards and bluetooth/usb mouse, data sync via usb etc etc, its only the MHL adapter which is giving me an issue constantly. Can the micro usb port on my Note be faulty ? I dont think as every other options are working fine.
I have tried all the three MHL Adapters (2 from the 1st vendor and 1 from the second) after i upgraded my phone to ICS. Are any other users facing the same issue ?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Apparently, there are problems with MHL support on ICS.

MHL adapter regarding....
hi guys,
i am also facing the same problem with MHL adapter. i tried to connect my galaxy note n7000 to sony bravia 3d tv via MHL but failed to do so. whenever i connect MHL to HDMI Cable to tv and to phone nothing happened and not even my phone or tv show any sign of connection or any notification regarding that. my phone not even show the battery charging sign. i also used 3d HDMI cable for the connection but nothing came out.... and when the vender (from whom i purchased the MHL) gave me the demo the same MHL was working fine with his HDMI cable and tv but the cable and tv he used were not 3D whereas i have a 3D tv. i dont understand why i am not able to connect the MHL adapter using 3D HDMI cable to my Sony Bravia 40HX750 3D tv with my Galaxy Note n7000. still struggling with that.... any reply in this regard will be appreciated.... thanx.

[q] can you connect to a monitor over DVI?

I purchased this adapter from monoprice, and I cannot get a picture to show up on an external monitor.
I've tried a samsung which is 1920x1200 and a dell that is 1920x1080. Neither monitors detect a signal.
The cable and adapter work with my phone (LG G2X - tegra 2 based); but the picture is 800x480.
has anyone got this to work, and if so, was there a trick to it?
On my old prime I used a micro HDMI adapter a HDMI cable then a HDMI to dvi and that worked. Not sure about the infinity though
Your monitor also has to support the resolution that the Infinity outputs at (1920x1080 60hz). I have two wide screen LCD Monitors and one supports this resolution and the other does not.
My dell support 1080p natively, and my samsung supports it via scaling. I have used the same cable and adapter to hook up my tegra 2 based phone running 2.3.4. It will output 1080p when playing back a 1080p movie using hardware acceleration. It works with both monitors. The TF700 does not. I'm wondering if maybe it's an ICS thing (or a TF700 version of ICS)
Hmm, did you try turning off the 3D output?

toggling 3d has no effect.
I read that if you leave the tablet on the 3d menu for a few seconds it will toggle the scaling mode on the external display. Again, the monitors just say "no signal".
The hdmi out to an hdmi device ( I tried a TV and a projector ) works great. It just doesn't work over DVI.
I have a theory that this is a HDCP issue. That my hdmi-dvi adapter doesn't support it. I've ordered a new cable that I understand does specifically support HDCP. I report back if it works.

Just so you know, the cable is blissfully ignorant of any HDCP being transferred over it since it's an end-to-end encryption. The two devices being connected together needs to be HDCP compliant, the cable just transfers the data, whether they're encrypted or not.
You're right that it might be a HDCP issue though, but I don't see how a cable can cause that (unless it's a bad cable, that is). HDCP incompatability (in lack of a better word) isn't all uncommon, sadly. HDCP is an abomination and should be killed, preferrably with lots of fire.

A different cable did not solve the problem. As I type this, I have my PS3 connected to my samsung (1920x1200 ) playing in slightly stretched 1080p mode using the same cable that I bought for the TF700.
the PS3 is undoubtedly enforcing HDCP. It plays games and movies at full resolution.
so, I think that's it. the TF700 just does not work over DVI.

Samsung Multimedia Dock 1080p 60fps

Just bought the official Samsung Multimedia Dock (EDD-S20EWE) and unfortunately it only outputs 720p 30fps and it is very sluggish .
Just noticed on Samsung's site there's another dock (EDD-S20JWEGSTA) and it says that it outputs 1080p (no info on fps).
Anyone knows the second dock works at 60fps ?
I also have the S4 MHL to HDMI adapter and it works at 1080p 60fps without issues, would really like to know if the dock works at 60fps 'cause I'll be using it to connect to a 1080p TV, keyboard, mouse and external HDD.
Thanks

I've just got 'EDD-S20EWEGSTD' and it outputs at 1080p @ 30hz. Don't know to check the the FPS though. The box is specifically branded for 'Note II' but still works with the S4. Manufacturer date on the box is 01/05/13.
Found a picture of the JWE box. They've renamed it to "Smart Dock for Galaxy Series" instead of "Multimedia Dock for Note II."

Still running at 30hz for me. According to this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41889724&postcount=20
The newer JWE dock only outputs in 30hz as well.

Only problem is with that is you get 30hz output.
I got a dock which works for the S3/Note2/S4 but the output is 30hz.

Samsung really need to create an updated dock for the S4 which supports 1080p/60hz. This is why I still have not bought one.
Any updates on this? Has Samsung provided us with a dock that outputs 1080p/60fps?
And could also act as USB OTG at the same time?^
Any unofficial or Note III docks etc. that would work like this?

Connecting Note 10.1 to HDMI to VGA to Monitor is blurry

Hello,
In an effort to get my Note 10.1 to display on a projector/monitor that only has a VGA connection I did the following:
I have connected the Samsung HDTV Adapter to my Note 10.1
I have connected the Samsung HDTV Adapter to Cable Maters HDMI to VGA Active M/F Adapter
I connected the Cable Matters Adapter to a VGA monitor
So doing all I was able to get the tablet screen to show up on the 1080p monitor, but it is very blurry. Is there anything I can do?

You're going to get some signal loss going from hdmi to vga and also from blowing up a 1280x800 screen to 1080p, but not so much it's not usable. My first question is are you using the external power source included with the cable matters adapter? Looking at the device this was the first thing that caught my attention "* The HDMI output of the source device does NOT supply 5V/500mA current"
If you're not that is the first thing I would try.
Thank you for your reply, yes I made sure all the connections were powered, unfortunately the blurriness makes the output unusable. My powerpoint presentations have small text that is blurred beyond recognition, while when I use my laptop connected to the projector, that text is sharp and readable. I have since returned the adapters, I'm not sure if there is another solution for me...
Interesting that a 1080p native monitor has no hdmi inputs.
I think when you connect GNote10.1 from hdmi -> vga monitor, it will simply output at 1280x800. And when LCD/LED monitors are not used at their native resolution, it'll look like crap. CRT (and plasma?) was fine displaying different res.
Solution? Time to upgrade and get a projector/tv that has hdmi inputs for proper presentations. VGA is outdated.

I'm having the same problem with the note 10.1 to vga projector. Do you think this is a hardware issue or software issue? As in, would we be able to find a custom ROM for the Note 10.1 that would allow for connection to projector?
Thanks!

HDMI cabe for TV etc.

Hi guys
I never used my 700T Tab S on the TV. Id like to try it.
My TV is also Samsung.
Are the cables all basically the same, or do some allow the tablet to display better than others on the TV?
What about OEM Samsung HDMI cables?
Thanks!!
I have mine hooked up with a Third party HDMI cable as you can see on the Dell 23" monitor with no issues on my T800 Tab S 10.5....
I am also using the Samsung HDTV smart adapter.
To connect a Galaxy Tab S to an HDMI monitor you'll need an MHL 2.0 adaptor and the original Samsung ET-H10FAUW does the job perfectly.
In my experience I would beware cheap clones or Samsung branded fakes, the Samsung ET-H10 hooks to any monitor instantly up to 1080p 60fps, while others I've tried take up to 1 minute, don't work with an optimal resolution and must be always connected with a power source.
Can the Tab S power higher resolutions on an external display, say it's native resolution or 4k?
