hdmi mirroring to tv not showing full status bar!

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.

[Q] 720p not scaling properly even with 3.2 update

I have LG plasma TV which only supports 720p resolution. Now the problem is that the image stretches out from all sides when I hook up my transformer via HDMI.
I thought the 3.2 will fix that since this was mentioned in the changelog: "HDMI output resolution quality scales better for greater compatibility with 720p tv's". But it made no difference compared to 3.1. There is no settings in the TV which could fix this.
Is there anyway to get the image fit properly on the screen?

what you are experiencing sounds like regular overscan. Alot of the TVs out there do it, and it's something that stuck around from the analog era.
You should look for a way to disable overscan on your TV. look in the menu or play with the aspect ratio button.
My LG works ok if I set the aspect ratio to its '1:1 pixel' mode.
If it's indeed overscan, then your TV is to blame, not your pad.
Edit:maybe the eeepad has an overscan-compensation. I can't look now. But then your pad would be compensating for your TV screwing up the image. So fixing it onyour TV is still preferred.

I've had absolutely no problems connecting the via HDMI aspect ratio on my Sharp TV, aside from probably a 5-10 ms input lag on the screen for playing video games, which is most likely a problem with my TV.
My Sharp has aspect ratio settings like stretch/native/zoom/etc to ensure that the entire image is displayed.
I'm pretty sure its your TV has these settings, since most HD TVs should. You should be able to play with aspect ratio the image settings on your LG until it fits.
Cheers

Thanks for the replys. The specific model for the TV is LG 50PC55 (which is about 3-4 years old) if it makes any difference.
Anyway I looked throught every possible option from the TV which has anything to do with the image. No help there. Aspect ratio is the only thing which at least does something but unfortunately there is only 4 options.
- 16:9 which makes image to strecth out from every corner
- 4:3 which adds black bars to the sides but image still goes over from top and bottom
- zoom1 and zoom2 which both makes things even worse
So doesnt look very promising. I hooked up transformer on my fullhd Benq computer screen with HDMI and that works perfectly. So yeah maybe the problem is on the TV and/or its 720p resolution and the lack of options to adjust the image.
If anyone can figure out any solution that I can do on the transformer to adjust the ratio and possible get it working it would be much appreciated.

[Q] Incorrect resolution on HDMI out

I'm currently on the stock ICS latest version. I plugged my TF101 to my HDTV and HD monitor via a mini-hdmi -> hdmi adapter and a standard HDMI cable. Video and sound is present....
However, the screen I see on the monitor/tv is not in the native 1920x1080 resolution. The screen is cropped at the bottom and cuts of a the middle of the home/back/recent bar. The sides are not fitted so there's a black bar on each side.
Has anyone experienced this issue?? Is there any solutions to it or any ROMS that I can try out that doesn't have this issue?
I was under the impression that the HDMI output would fit the screen perfectly

when i plug my tf via hdmi cable (hdmi type c [mini] to hdmi type a [regular]), i get 1280x720. It only switches to 1920x1080 when playing hd movies.
Also, it does crop a bit off the bottom, and i can't see the bottom bar at all on the screen. I do not, however, have black bars on the sides.

AFAIK the hdmi output resolution for tf101 is 720p.... chipset limitation.

thank you so much for clarifying. Maybe my screen doesn't auto adjust the resolution or something. From the demos I see on youtube, it fills up the entire screen and doesn't have the bottom black bar (home, back, menu buttons)

I had the same problem with my samsung monitor for a while and it was the auto screen adjustment that was causing the problem. In the settings for the TV display I changed the output from 16:9 to fit screen width.
That solved the problem. Hope it helps.
EDIT: AFAIK HDMI out never shows the bottom bar(back, home, recent apps) on my screen. It just mirrors the whole tablet screen above the bottom bar

The bottom bar is showing on mine when I plug in HDMI out.......well...half of it at least....
However, when I load videos from youtube or media players, it goes full screen. It's ok....I don't use hdmi out much but just wanted to know. Maybe a bug in the ICS stock rom?
Still having problem going into Clockworkmod after root...but that's for another thread

I believe the only way to get 720p is not to use Console Mode and just mirror the Shield to the T.V.
Good Luck...

Are you sure? I connected mines to my T.V. and cancel Console Mode it's at 720p and the content doesn't fit right.
In Console Mode my T.V. jumps restarts in 1080p and fits perfect! Like so...

The TV doesn't have the scan option, where it senses if the resolution is greater than the TV.

[Completed] [Q] Underscan using HDMI on Pipo P4

Hi. I'm using HDMI output on Pipo P4 but i get underscan on my screen. Its for recording purposes so i dont want to deal with TV scaler or workarounds like that.
Internal resolution is 1920x1200 so i guess thats the problem. But i have another Pipo S1 Pro (1024x600) and it outputed perfectly 1080p over HDMI, and HDMI option says 1920x1080 so i dont know whats the problem. I just get black borders around the image. I have tried a few resolution changer apps but it looks even worse forcing internal 1920x1080. Screen zoom on HDMI options does nothing, it keeps the black borders.
Any solution to output real 1920x1080 over HDMI?
Thanks!

You can either ask in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] thread, or check the following threads about HDMI output:
1. hdmi resolution changer app?
2. [APP][ROOT][4.2-4.3JB][10-25-2013] Screen Settings - w/HDMI detection -Ver 1.27
3. [How-To] HDMI Fullscreen Toggle Script [Android 4.2.2 and 4.3]
But those threads are originally for a different device. So be cautious.

I already checked the second one but maybe i think i made a mistake. I will check them again, thanks!

Good. Thank you and thread close.
