[Q] hdmi + full hd video stuttering! - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, i'm experiencing stutters when i try to play movies in full hd format, when plugged to a tv through hdmi.
When unplugged, it plays anything just fine.
I already tried mx player and bs player, and trying to play with subtitles,
I'm running jelly bean brazilian retail, and this version doesn't have hdmi out settings neither
Webtop mode, only mirroring.
Any guess that what can be done to solve this?
I would try to set different resolution and or refresh rate, but, like i said, there isn't these settings.
If anyone has a clue, i would be thankful.

I'm not sure about RAZR hd... But we have the same problem with JB roms in Atrix HD

You probably have cheap HDMI cable. Go to the store and check out high speed HDMI cable and try it on spot before buying ..

It's not the cable

No, unfortunately is not the cable, i have two high speed 1.4 hdmi cables, and also have a regular Razr XT910, with these two cables the Razr XT910 plays smooth and sharp. I tested the same videos, in same conditions and same players.
What i have observed, is that when i plug the Razr HD XT925, the phone screen stutters either, not only the mirrored one (TV Set), and the interface feels heavier, when you are plugged too !
PS. the both cables that i have, came out with the phones (OEM motorola).
Thank You for the tip anyway.

Sometimes it depends on the decoder that is being used to play the files. Are the movies saved to a memory card, if so what class is it.
I use a 64gb class 10 memory card and watch top gear hd videos on my TV all the time with no problems.

Whether you agree or not does not matter. It's a confirmed issue by Verizon and Motorola.
Just connect Razr HD to a lapdock and see how that goes.

Hey Mtvdeo, is it possible to downgrade to ics without unlock the bootloader,
And is there much difference between 4.1.2 to 4.0.0 ( is there webtop like in normal razr?)
I bought mine with jelly bean already, so i don't know if worth lose warranty to downgrade

There is no webtop on ICS for Razr HD. But resolution is great and very stable when you connect to lapdock. If you are on 4.1.2 you need to unlock bootloader.
There is no difference, except that Jelly Bean looks better in terms of design and is a bit faster. That's it.

agreed

[Q] RGB / TV Out for HTC Desire HD?

Does anyone know a way to connect the HTC Desire HD to a beamer or TV (or.. What i'm ultimately looking for, the Video-input of the Toyota Prius built in LCD).
Thanks!
DHD doesn't have a TV out option, maybe the hardware is able to do it, but don't get your hopes up.
only option i see to get content to a screen is via the DLNA option, which requires an DLNA adapter for your PRIUS.
this way you still cant get a screen view there, just photo's or video's or sound.
if you want android in your car, perhaps a cheap china tablet could work for you that has TV out?
> cheap china tablet could work for you that has TV out?
Do you have any Suggestions on that?
I was a bit let-down by the fact that my Prius could infact import the contacts from my phone, but not the contact pictures to browse through.. Obviously, to get the whole interconnected experience, you'd also want the touch screen on the car relay it's input to the phone... still a bit to much to ask for, I think...
Thanks for the tip!
Anyone actually tried to buy this http://cgi.ebay.com/1-4-Micro-HDMI-AV-Video-Cable-Type-D-HTC-HDTV-/140567818112?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1160370007762118256#ht_2020wt_1141
(just an example) to se if it actually works? I mean; isn´t DHD and EVO 4G close to similar in hardware?
Its not possible with the DHD, sadly. All you can do is stream audio/video with DLNA. But no screen mirroring for games or anything. I dont really care because i would never use it anyway. At home i have better devices that i can hook up to my tv And my girlfriend has an old TV without hdmi so... If i wanna take a movie to her place i put it on my DHD copy it to her laptop hook the lappy to the tv and off we go.
You´re right. Just thought it would be funny if it actually worked.

If the hardware wasn't put there by HTC, it will NOT work.
You say it NOW works? How? The hardware wasn't there to begin with, so cannot be there now.

Please post some proof of you getting MHL working on a DHD. I have that MHL usb cable which works fine on my friends Sensation, but I doesn't work on my DHD using any rom. I've tried ICS, CM7, stock and custom roms based on stock. None of them will detect the mhl cable.

Can confirm what you are saying i have a DHD and a Sensation and mhl cable is only working on the sensation on dhd there is no effect

When they actually become available, the Raspberry Pi could be good for getting DLNA on TVs. A lot cheaper than anything specifically for it (but you'd also need a wifi dongle)
No TV Out of any kind for Desire HD
Unfortunately there is no option for TV OUT for Desire HD, no RGB, no HDMI, no MHL, the only option is DLNA.

[Q] does google movies/tv work on jelly bean? for hdtv

On ics google movies/tv wont show on an hdtv when i connect my tf101 to my hdtv through the mini hdmi. Ive heard that people who installed jelly bean have gotten it to work on there tv. Cause supposedly the updqte fixed the issue. Can anyone with jelly bean confirm this please?
I would like to make sure it works before i go through all the trouble of getting jelly bean. Thanks!!
Answered my question. I said screw it and flashed jellybean (raymanfx aosp rom), and guess what? IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!! so its official(if in case it wasnt already), if you wanna watch google movies or tv streaming over mini hdmi to your hdtv, just flash jellybean. Works beautifully
Now my only question is HD... i bought season 4 of wipeout in hd, and it doesnt seem like its in hd. I dont know if its cause of the jelly bean or what but from what i remember on ics hd worked fine. Ill update you guys if anyone can help me though thatd be great thanks

[Q] Atrix Lapdock?

Does anyone have the Motorola Atrix Lapdock? If so can you connect the Razr HD to it? I just picked one up online for 40 bucks and am curious.
Nope. Webtop was removed from the new Razr interactions. I was pretty bummed.

I wonder if there is an APK floating around out there....
There’s a system dump on almost every Razr forum. I've seen a couple guys mod their lap docks to work in mirror mode, but as far as the whole Webtop, maybe someone has a tut on it...

Already asked the question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972838
Apparently it does work - but with HDMI mirror mode, so you will get big chunky icons and fonts on the screen (regardless of being in 720p). Difference to Webtop 3.0 is that Webtop automatically changes the DPI turning it into "tablet mode" as opposed to "Phone mode". Webtop 2.0 uses Linux and not confident that this will be compatible.

Perhaps botbrew basil + debian + vnc + mirroring?
There are plenty of CHROOT solutions out there (Debian, Ubuntu, Backtrack) - just not sure how well they are. I've decided to choose the RAZR classic instead of the HD to replace my Atrix until someone figures out how to change the DPI settings on the fly between modes and getting higher resolutions (full screen) on the Lapdock.

To answer the OP's actual question, Yes you can connect it. It takes a bit of tinkering though. You have to dissasemble the dock part and revers the direction of the usb and hdmi ports. The lapdock will only function as a mirrored display + keyboard/mouse. It works none the less. I am sure the webtop app is redundant at this point in time due to the convergence of androids desktop like features.
The display itself is a bit washed out but a great buy if you want a bit more screen real estate while traveling for netflix, hulu movies etc.
Also, If you are saavy and they are in stock, you can go to radio shack and pick these up for $9.97. I work at RS and have bought most of the remaining ones from our district so good luck elsewhere!

[Q] No HD option for bought movies in Play Store?

Hi everyone!
I have a TF700T running stock with only root and a locked bootloader.
I was able to buy a few movies in HD quality in the play store but there is no HD button when trying to play. If I choose a free episode from some tv show in the play store however then there is an HD option!? I'm guessing these are DRM issues? Free items play in HD, bought ones don't.
Like I said, still LOCKED with only ROOT. Unrooting with OTA rootkeeper doesn't resolve the issue.
I have been searching the net alot lately but haven't found any answer yet which might explain this.
Any help please?? This is driving me crazy!
Thanks in advance!
There are films in the Play Store?
"Sorry! Movies on Google Play is not available in your country yet."
Right. F*ck you too, Google.
Anyway, pro-piracy arguments aside, from what I can tell buying it in HD automatically plays it in HD. It'll revert to SD on a non-HD device, but play in on a HD-device, it plays in HD. Free videos have a HD option because you don't pick SD or HD seperatelly.
http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2528768&&p=movies_hd&rd=1
Seems fairly obvious.
I know that the "missing" HD button is an issue on unlocked devices (due to DRM issues), but from what I've read, rooted devices should be able to play them in HD...
Very strange... Being that you are still locked and the fact that you said that you purchased the HD version, I would contact Google and see what they say - you should be able to view purchased HD programs in HD!
Please let us know what you find out...
Personally, I've given up on using the Play store for videos since Google won't let me view them in HD (since I'm unlocked). There are alternatives out there, so Google won't be getting my $$ because of this! I did spend a great deal of time trying to make it work, but in the end I figured screw them if they don't want my money!

I have bought movies, books, magazines, music and apps through the US and UK store. I use a VPN (freehostedvpn.com) because obviously there is no full play store in Belgium yet. It works great! Even managed to get a Nexus 4.

I guess I'll do that. I ordered a microsd card yesterday so I can get back to ICS. See if that changes anything. If it wasn't for these DRM issues I would have unlocked the damned thing ages ago! But even locked I can't watch my HD bought content in HD!! But with free HD content there is a HD button!??
Anybody else on Jelly Bean locked with root or no root who is able to play movies or tv shows in HD from Google Play?
Still waiting for the micro sd...
Does any know if the hd option is there when still locked and on ICS?
I have received my sd card and succesfully rollbacked to ICS.
I am now running .30 ICS. I am not rooted and the bootloader is still locked.
However playing HD movies I bought in the play movies store will still not give me the HD option in the lower left corner. Free hd tv show episodes will give me that option. I have no clue why this is happening?
I am also sure I am not the only one on these forums with a locked Infinity with HD movie content from the Play Store.
Can someone please check and tell me if I am the only one with this problem or not? I'm sure I'm not the only one with google play movies?
Thanks!

Yes, I only buy HD versions. And when I play a free tv show episode with HD option enabled it plays in HD quality but when playing bought HD movies there is no HD button and the quality is really horrible!! So i'm guessing that would be SD.
If there was no HD button but the movies would still play in HD than that would be ok. But I'm stuck with the terrible SD quality...

Actually, he says right in his post that he isn't even rooted - completely stock, unrooted and locked bootloader - makes no sense that HD videos wouldn't work - I would definitely be contacting Google - that's BS...

HDMI Output to television

I can't seem to get a working output from my optimus 3d, ( with the hdmi adapter plugged in to my tv)
specs :
Android 4.0.4
Baseband Version : OMAP4430/XMM6260
Kernel Version : 3.0.2.1
Build Number : ICS
Software Version : P920-30a-Eur-xx
Yes! I have the same problem too. Since the official Android 4 update my HDMI out is not working. Any solutions?

Some people have written to try another tv or monitor, or try running a video or something before connecting cable. Mine works on a pc monitor. Not sure why there seems to be an issue with tvs...
Mine works good with big screen tv
I have tried both my full hd television 16:9 and my pc monitor, but there doesn't seem to be a signal
My firmware is v30C (Canadian). I'm in the US. If you can get to Best Buy or some retailer maybe try on some other brand tvs. I have not actually tried mine on a tv, only my monitor. V30C is the first firmware that I have even tried using hdmi. For the pc monitor you might need the monitor drivers installed on your pc if you don't already. On mine I have to press a button on the monitor to change input to hdmi. It's probably the same way on a tv (I assume you did that) So you are on stock ics, not a custom rom?
Custom ROM and ICS worked for me (even though I had to enjoy odd rotation in CM10 :/ but still I don't have problem with my ancient 7 years old Toshiba LCD HDTV which is currently being used as a computer monitor via HDMI).

I wonder what the H-E-double-hockey-sticks is the issue with stock?
Dunno, never bothered with sound though - I turned all volumes on my phone down (just so I don't hear the annoying modem tones), and set to vibration but I bet audio may work on CM10, though.
But, here's my takes against the TV; variance of audio chipsets and firmwares. If the firmware isn't even done right (it's common to find unfinished BIOS in all HDTV's built-in computers due to, well, being cheap), there are lot of things missing. So, HDMI specification apparently isn't being strictly followed even though I don't think O3D have problems of following the specification, unless the firmware's whacked. Who knows.
