hi,
is there any way to force the MHL/HDMI output resolution?
The dirty hacks and apps in lots of threads I've tested do not work as expected.
The resolution always depends on the device I'm connected to.
I'm currently running CM11 and I'd like to ask you, if it's possible in any way to force the output resolution to e.g. [email protected] (custom kernel?).
Playing games with 1080p is horrible because of the lag.
Thanks in advance!
ciao
Expensive Solution
Probably the easiest but most expensive solution -.-

I think this is not possible.. MHL outputs exactly same what is on mobile phone

Has anyone tried hdmi mirroring on their Charge? I was curious as to how well it plays video and/or does it have enough power to play 720p.
Beamed from my MB810.
Yes, I tried the HDMI mirror mode and it was great. With mirror mode it shows you what screen is on your phone and diplayed on the TV.
I some videos from my Droid and played couple of them in mirror mode and was pixelated but I played videos taken from my DC and it played great. I tried out pictures I have and those where awesome.
What resolution does the hdmi port output?
On my DLP HD tv and my HD projector it displays at 1080p....Looks damn good too
Are you certain the signal is 1080p? Most TVs will tell you the signal resolution with some sort of "info" button.
I ask a second time, because my understanding is that 720p is the hdmi output signal.
Thanks again.

Both my projector and my tv automatically tell you what resolution it being displayed when you switch to a different input. I am 100% sure it's 1080p as my vision is 20/20 and I can clearly read what it says. Not being a smart ass...lol..but yes it does say 1080p on both of my displays.
when you say 720p is the display output for HDMI, do you mean the device or any HDMI output. Becuase the max resolution through HDMI is 1080p. 720p can be acheived through a component output as well as HDMI and is not the max resolution of an HDMI output. But I assure you that this when my phone is hooked up to HDMI my display tells me its 1080p. If you are reading some where that the device is only able to display 720p maybe it's incorrect or maybe my displays are up converting it some how. Either way it is dispaying at 1080p.

Thanks for clarifying. I do wonder if there is some kind of up converting. I guess you would really have to run some 1080 test patterns on your TV via your Charge to see if it really does generate 1080 output and not just up converting 720..
I do understand HDMI a bit. I have read that the hummingbird CPU/GPU supports XGA resolution, which is not 1080p. I think it's 1024x768.
I was a bit skeptical when someone said it was 1080p.
So I guess the question is, is it up converting?
I'm really interesting in the Charge. I am following all the threads and discussion on desktop use of Android. Right now, CM7 is working great with the EVO in regards to desktop use (extrenal monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc), but I think it's limited to 720p per the HTC/EVO hardware.

Hi! This is my first post on xda-developers. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a "question", bound for a Q&A...
I have an HTC One S (US, T-Mobile) for which I bought a cheap MHL adapter. The adapter plugs in to the phone's micro-USB port, has an HDMI out and requires you to plug the phone's charger into the adapter, providing charge to the phone. I'm pushing to an old monitor so the adapter's HDMI out goes through an HDMI to DVI adapter before reaching the display.
Everything is working fine except for video. It seems that no matter the video quality, the image constantly stutters. Neither the default video player nor MX Player (on H/W, H/W+, or S/W) will play more than a few seconds of video before locking up for several seconds, then only advancing a frame or two. There's no problem with video when not connected to the adapter. A fresh restart doesn't seem to help and I don't think I have any extra memory-hogging background apps (just the standard Sense and T-mobile apps).
Has anyone else had the same problem? My previous feature phone had a simple S-video out that let me show pictures and videos to my family while on holidays. Perplexing that I'm being outclassed by that old brick!
Thanks for any insights/advice!
No problems with my S and a MHL adapter (video is jerky cause it was recorded using a desire):
Skip to 1.53 for 1080P film playback
Give it a try on some other monitor/TV without the DVI adapter.
Also try BS player lite instead of MX player (although this most likely won't fix it as MX and stock should be perfectly fine)

Indeed, it works like a charm on a proper HD TV without the DVI adapter. Now I wonder if it's the adapter or the higher resolution of the monitor I'm plugging in to, and unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to control the output resolution from the phone. Perhaps it's using the highest available or perhaps it has to do some non-native scaling of the video.
Thanks for your help!

What is the res. of the monitor? You should be able to find out what res. it is running at once the phone is plugged in (should be a wee info. box that pops up stating res., refresh rate etc.)
I think it could just be the DVI/HDMI adapter causing problems.
No problem

If it doesn't say that it supports the one S, then don't buy it. It could/should work even if the one S is not listed but I rather not take the risk.

Should work with AOSP ROMs as well.

Hi,
I am learning more about this wonderful system, but now have a question. I finally received by hdmi adapter. Seems to work fine with my TV.
However, I also want to use this in the classroom. So I got the hdmi to vga adapter. It works but the output image is low resolution like 640x480 or 7xx by 4xx, depending on the projector. These projectors can handle hi rez (e.g., 1020x728, adn higher) as I use them with my laptop. So the question is, can we control the output resolution as I can not find anywhere the ability to do that? Is there an app?
Thanks for the help and after waiting for 2 months this is kind of disappointing.

I have got the same problem. Did you find any solution?
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

The newer JWE dock only outputs in 30hz as well.

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?
Hello
I have a Motorola Photon Q
I flashed it with CyanogenMod 10.2
I connected an HDMI cable and I have an output to my monitor... unfortunately it's upscaled so is a bit blurry.
Does anyone know if there's a way to output real 1080p through Photon Q's HDMI cable? (for watching movies, video conference through Hangouts, Skype) or it'll be unable to render the Android interface at 1080p?
Thanks
I also would like to see real 1080p output from the HDMI port as I use my phone for Netflix and stored blu-ray's.
