MHL and PS4 Remote Play? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has tried this out yet? Does it work? Can you stream the gameplay to a TV/monitor via an MHL adapter and HDMI cable? I'm thinking about getting a MHL 3.0 cable but not sure whether it will work or not.

Ok, so I borrowed my friend's MHL old generation (for S2) adapter, and that didn't work. First of all the frame rate is very VERY poor, between 5-10 fps. And second it disconnects as soon as I start remote play. Can anyone with an MHL 3.0 adapter try and see if you can get the remote play screen on the TV?

Hi,
I have a Z3C. I tried remote play using an mhl cable that I had from my galaxy S2.
Works fine! There is a noticeable drop in frame rate compared to the PS4 direct output but not too bad at all.
I seem to be getting interference when I pair the ds4 to the phone though and the controls get laggy.

Is that an MHL 3.0 cable?

Anyone with a regular Z3 and 1080p display that can try this out? Don't wanna throw away 40$ on a cable I wont use if it doesnt work

I can't test it.
I have test it with chromecast. It's running okay, but not perfectly (the delay not small enough for me).

Nope, just a 5 quid eBay cable I bought about 2 years ago.

+1 i'd like to know if this works

I was thinking of getting this one http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/televisions-cables/mhl-cable
But I guess I should wait for somebody who's already tested to confirm it works.
I had a dodgy 2 pound version which disconnetted my wifi everytime i connected . This is why i suggest an original.

Works great

all i can say is, i bought the IM750 cable, and it sucks big time. Wont even get 1080p on the screen. Dont get it.

Do you mind sharing your setup? Which TV/MHL cable did you use?

Works great buy it
I've tested it with my xperia sp and mhl 3.0 cable it has no frame drop at all and the tv (lg tm 2) says it has 1080p 50hz input the quality of video looks like a 1080p blu-ray device. Ive tested it on dead trigger 2, gt racing 2 and n.o.v.a 3 its awesome im using the dualshock 4 cuz i have stryflex's awesome custom rom (my phone looks exacrly like the damned z5 with all abilities especialy walkman tnx stryflex again)
So what are you waiting for go buy that cable but 40$ is so much

G2X gaming WORKS on my TV. Yeahh

I just got my hdmi cable in and wanted to show you how Gun Bros looks on the tv. Everything on the screen works on the television (games, movies on sdcard, streaming movies. video chat, texting, everything) Freakin sweet I will make a more detailed vid later when I have more time.

That's pretty sick, I've had my HDMI cable for over a week and had not thought of playing video games. i have only used it to show video's and pictures, gee i guess that's what happens when you have a newborn, you start to loose some of your other man senses!!
I cant wait for my Bluetooth controller to get here. netflix and gaming via HDMI were the biggest selling points of the phone after the Tegra 2. old game emulation is awesome on this thing.
I actually also forgot my 25" PC monitor also has an HDMI input. now i just leave a cable behind it, connect and switch the input when i want to game real quick. this way I am in a seat and at a comfortable distance untill the controller gets here
Yeah I was wondering about the bluetooth controller. just like the hd2 I had and sold with the ps3 controller. I should have kept the controller. Lol

PS3 controllers are working on android now? I remember reading a thread where someone tired but didnt know it worked. link?
as far as me I went with the Datel retro. its like the Wii classic controller but the bluetooth is built in so you dont need the official nunchuck to plug into.

So the datel works just fine with the g2x? Wasnt there bluetooth compatibility issues with the g2x and wii controllers?

Doesnt work with a stock phone until someone does some work with either drivers or bluetooth stack. I really know nothing about that side of things.
I have read that it works fine on CM7 builds

why would you need that when it charges via micro USB? most TVs Ive seen have USB, the few that do not can use USB on the cable box,sat box,tivo,stereo or game console

Uhh...so u dont have two plugs sticking out at either ends kf the phone while youre playing games on it?
Oh. for some reason i was thinking you were using a remote gamepad. IMO the USB doesn't bother me or get in the way as much as the HDMI on the left ( when using both cables )
That looks nice on your TV. I just wish my G2x would output to my TV correctly. When i'm playing nova the edges are cut off and i am unable to play it correctly. I am thinking its my TV but it doesn't make sense.
under settings is HDMI output correctly set or at least on auto detect?

It's most likely a TV issue, I had to change the view setting on my Sony Bravia TV.

Its set for auto detect my TV is 720P with a native resolution of 1366x768. I have been unable to figure out why my tv does not display the G2x's hdmi correctly
Where did you get the cable from?
that's freakin awesome!! time to get an HDMI cable.

MHL Issues

Have any of you gotten a chance to mess around with the HDMI functionality on the phone? I've bought a MHL cable from Amazon that got pretty good reviews (Amazon Link) and a Samsung 11 to 5 pin adapter and have noticed several issues with it.
Bad lag/frame skipping on emulators. Haven't gotten a chance to check it with every rom I have but running SMB3 with Nesoid on my big screen has been a let down.
Flash Player black screen cuts. Watching a video stream through Dolphin Browser HD, I sometimes get an issue where the feed keeps cutting to a black screen for a couple seconds then fixes itself for a few more seconds. Once this occur, there's no way I've found to get it to stop. Connecting it later seems to rid the problem temporarily.
All of this may be because I went the cheap route, but I'm interested if some of you have reached some success with the functionality of the device, maybe fared better with the official cable (w/o the adapter) or with another solution (preferably software )
I have the official $40 Samsung adaptor & it works perfectly.
This setup works much better than the HDMI/MHL adaptor I used for my Rezounds.
The Rezound was very touchy about connectiing (& I have 3 Rezounds & had the same connection problems with all of them). With the Rezound, half the time it wouldn't connect requiring at least one reboot etc.
The G3 connects instantly, 100% of the time. I have a car dock setup that automatically connects the G3 HDMI out to a HDMI scaler & displays the video on my in-dash 7" DVD/NAV screen.

I think you do need the real S3 adapter and wish Amazon would get rid of the generic MHL adapters that say they are compatible with the S3. My S3 MHL adapter works great.
That is great news, thanks for the replies!
Have you guys ran any games/emulators on it?

S3 mhl hdmi adapter

Just received the one for the S3 today. hooked it up, got good video and sound from my Sony Bravia TV. One problem, the video refreshes or goes blank every few seconds on the TV. What can be causing this (Bluetooth on ?). I searched the forums with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

I know when i tried my friends MHL with an adapter for the 11 to 5pin configuration it was constantly refreshing when switching screens or orientation. I wonder if some of these S3's have issues and we dont find out unless we try out the MHL.
I had the same problem, I had the official Galaxy S2 MHL adapter with the 5 > 11pin adapter that was released by Samsung.
Same thing, the screen would go black every few seconds and I would lose sound. I contacted the seller of the mhl adapter and he send a new one but I still had the same problem, so I ended up returning both adapters until I can get a stable adapter =\ I don't know why but i would love to know as well why this is happening. I also have a sony tv.
This is the adaptor I am using:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0080CXSOU/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00
I play Blue-Ray rips that are ripped at super high quality from my phone with no problems whatever.

But is that only once you have it running you dont touch the phone again? When i was using the MHL adapter it was to play a game and every time the screen changed, ie.. from menu to gameplay, it would flash and lose sound as the above poster said. May be an issue with the 11>5 pin adapter not sure.

Well, I have never played a game thru HDMI but I do get calls/texts etc which interrupt the movie and it always starts right up again with no problem. It also works perfectly to play MP3's & video thru my killer car stereo/video system that is hooked up thru an HDMI scaler.
I will try a game later when I get out of work & see how that works.

Hook everything up then reboot in that order out you have this issue.

Hi guys. I'm kind of interested in this...will any generic USB -> HDMI adapter work on our phones, or does it have to be a special Samsung one?
Generic adapters?
Anyone try one of these adapters yet?

[Q] Samsung MHL 3.0 adapter?

Hello,
Would this MHL 3.0 cable work with my Z3? Also would it work with an older TV (is it backwards compatible)?
http://m.expansys.com/mp.aspx?i=264482
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EE-HN910FWESTA
I'd imagine it's backward compatible.
Has anyone tried this?
I'm interested if it would work with my Xperia Z2.
This is the one I use and its amazing better colour then my other mhl

I bought the official Sony MHL 2.0 cable and it doesn't work that well. I've tried it on my monitor and on my TV, and the framerate really sucks. I think it might have to do with my displays, not with the cable itself.

Does Note 10 have USBC to HDMI?

Has anyone tried this or found any method of getting a HDMI signal from it?
Thanks
Steve
I'm a bit clueless about that but I took the usb-c cable that I use from my laptop to my external monitor and plugged it in to my Note 10 to see if anything would happen. nothing....
Hi thanks for your reply. So you normally use a USB-C to HDMI cable for your laptop to monitor connection but it doesn't work with the Note 10?
Bummer....
Tried yesterday to connect Type-C to 3,5mm Headphone adapter just because i still had it from my Mix 3 and even that doesn't work
Gosh that's weird. At least it has a 3.5 mm jack.
I have a cheapy Anycast Wireless/HDMI dongle that worked with my Mi9. When I get home, I'll try it out with my monitor and report back.

Thanks for testing it. I'm still away, but will check the Anycast HDMI dongle later this week and report back.

Well I'm back now and have had a play, but can't get my AnyCast dongle to work. If I go into:
Setting/Connection & Sharing/Cast
and turn cast on, it scans for nearby devices but doesn't find any.
I've tried a few play store apps, including EZMira, but all say the device must not be rooted and mine is.
I did have it powered by the TV usb port, but also tried an external adaptor.
Has anyone got the AnyCast working with the Note 10?
Cheers
Steve
Next up was our new Amazon Firestick. The Note10 sees it, but won't connect to it.
Bummer
I tried the Amazon Firestick (V2/2019) today and it worked for some reason, but was intermittent. Eventually it magically worked, but full screen videos were choppy and sometimes the audio broke up. I notice that if I scrolled the screen, it was pretty laggy and once again, broke the audio up.
Then I changed the wifi on the Note 10 and Firestick from 2.4GHz to 5GHz and bob's yer uncle. Works fine with no delays, choppiness and audio is fine.
I've ordered another from fleabay as my wife gets upset when I plunder the TV for my projects. Can't think why....
I intend to use it with a PC monitor, so I'll be able to get the TV on it too. Life is good....
Well the fire stick arrived and it seems to work mostly fine. The old boot of a monitor I have doesn't have HDMI, so I used a HDMI->DVI adaptor which works.
The only issue is that the resolution is a little high and the monitor complains.
Is there any method of reducing the cast screen resolution that anyone knows?
Cheers
