I noticed that by default console mode output is set to 1080P, however since I have a quite old LCD TV I would like to change it to 780 (HD Ready) but it seems there is no way to change this through settings.
Does anyone had the same problem?
Do you think there is a possible solution?
Thanks

I have the same problem. I can connect the tablet to computer monitor and it works, but when I connect it to TV there is no signal (although cable connection is detected). Maybe there is some app that allows to change HDMI resolution?
nVidia really needs to release an OTA update with the ability to control the HDMI output resolution easily from the native ROM....
Has anyone been able to set a custom resolution, for XBMC for example, without loading a custom ROM?
If you are using a ROM, which one are you using?
You must be rooted but try this in a terminal window on the device (terminal emulator should work fine)
Code:
su
wm density 160
wm size 1280x720
or
Code:
su
wm density 160
wm size 1280x800
to reset it
Code:
su
wm density reset
wm size reset

Unfortunately this does not work. Tablet resolution does change, but HDMI signal remains unchanged.

Ok, In my case it was actually a cable problem. It seems to work now.
On the other hand I still don't know if changing the resolution does change anything about HDMI output.

does anyone have a fix for the hdmi mirroring being abit off? my status bar only shows half way when i hook it up to my tv. any suggestions on how to fix this? its really annoying me!
I think you have to fix that on your television. It's the same on mine and I believe it is just overscan. My TV has 5% overscan and that is just enough to cut off the top and bottom of the phone's screen.

Have you tried a different cable? You should probably post this in general as this is not development.
Just go to your tv setting and look for something called dot to dot or fit screen, p.mode each tv is a little different, but they all do the same thing. You might even be able to find a button on your tv remote too.
I am assuming since you cannot even follow directions on the forum, it is user error.

Moved to proper forum.
What type of TV do you have? That is the important question. My dad has a DLP projection and overscan is something he's been battling for a long time. Not much you can do if the TV is overscanning everything.
With the stock rom, you could try to change the resolution (420, 720, 1080, etc). Sometimes this can help with overscan. We found that at lower resolutions, the overscan wasn't as bad.
With his TV, we ended up using a S-Video Cable to get rid of the overscan, which isn't an option here (HDMI is digital so 1-1 output, where S-Video is analog).

S-Video? Eeek.. I would accept the overscan over standard definition any day.
I have tried a number different emulators on my TF700 and I have found that a number of them (SuperGNES) for instance, will display fine on the tablet but their output is blurry on the TV via HDMI. The screen will even sharpen up for a second when I swap to another app or a menu but when playing it goes blurry. All other pps seem to display fine. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or knows of a solution?
Thanks
UPDATE: Retroarch seems to work fine but I can't seem to get it to work with my 8bitty or my onlive universal controller

Prob the emulator itself. Is it stretching the screen for a standard definition out put rather than HD? Time to contact the emulator maker. it may look fine on the tab but that is because the screen is much smaller.
I tried to change my lenovo vibe k5 plus screen resolution using the commands wm size ..x..
In the terminal emulator the resolution is changed but the physical navigation buttons stopped working , what should i do, what might be the problem.
Anyone please help me with this.
I have a rooted Huawei Mediapad T5, running stock ROM. But 1 reason why I had rooted it, was because of it's annoying resolution. Everything is way too big which causes too much screen space to be filled.
I searched XDA and google to solve this problem. But everytime I boot, the tablet is back to it's orriginal screensetting.
I've found out that lowering the DPI works in my case. It seems to be set at 320 orriginally? At least this is the info I get from terminal and ADB commands. Other apps like CPU-Z tell me 255.
Well, let's say it's 320.Then lowering it to 280 or 300 makes a big diffrence for me and everything looks way better arranged on the screen. But again, after boot it changes back to 320...
Things I've tried (with no luck ofcourse):
- Changing dpi using my tab connected to my laptop using ADB (DPI settings get applied, but are gone after reboot).
- Changing dpi using a terminal-app on the tab itself (DPI settings get applied, but are gone after reboot).
- There was no "ro.sf.lcd_density=" in build.prop. So I added it and rebooted. But no change after reboot.
- I've tried some (root) apps from the app-store, for changing DPI-settings (DPI settings get applied, but are gone after reboot).
When I change DPI with the Terminal, and check display settings first. then it shows me the standard DPI settings of 320. When I use this same terminal to change DPI to 300, then it gives me 2 lines after checking again.
Physical density: 320
Override density: 300
So I was thinking, maybe I should look for a way to change this "Physical density" vallue to trick keeping it like this?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:
I think something is off with my screenresolution.
Information in the terminal gives me: Physical size 1200x1920
Websites detect it as 960x600
and the physical dimentions are:
width 21,6 cm
height 13,5cm
diagonal 25,5 cm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit 2:
I've found that other tabs with similar screen size and aspect ratio have an resolution of 800x1280.
Tried to change this. And this setting is still saved after rebooting. But the screen looks way to big now.
What happens when you in build.prop make DPI setting persistent?
Code:
persist.ro.sf.lcd_density

Should I add this line in build.prop?
Hello,
I attached my G100 to a TV today to watch a movie, figured that should be possible having full Android desktop support.
It works, but the phone automatically chooses 4K resolution, which makes it stutter quite a bit, and the HDMI adapter gets very hot.
I thought I could just switch to full HD, which should take a lot of stress off the device, and would still be plenty for almost all applications. But there doesn't seem to be a menu to change that? Using the ADB "wm size" command just changes the phone resolution, but not the TVs.
I cannot configure anything on the TV itself, and most monitors will just report their capabilities to the connected device, so the option has to be on the smartphone, but either they did not implement that setting or I'm not able to find it.
The Motorola FAQ says something about the "display" settings menu, but I have only options there that change the phones screen settings. When I open settings in desktop mode, the "display" section is grayed out.
Thanks in advance, have a nice day!
