An update to the BT Sport app (streaming sports in UK) can now detect when I have my USB-C HDMI adapter connected to the phone, so I can no longer display live sports games in the app on my TV.
Does anyone know of a way to hide the HDMI status from apps?
I have rooted with Magisk, I can't see any modules that help with this.
not exactly the same issue but had similar scenario with netflix. an hdmi splitter was the workaround

Hi,
I have been lurking around the interwebz to find a cheap compatible shield gamepad which works over bluetooth. So far i came across Nyko Playpad pro and Moga Pro. The main issue here is that none of the above is available in my country. So far the gamepads i have tried are below;
PS3 Sixaxis (USB, Bluetooth with Sixaxis app)
Works fine over USB, however while using over bluetooth, the dpad doesn't function. If anyone has a solution to this, this will be the best option.
Xbox 360 Controller (USB)
Works fine as it should.
Does the wireless controller works fine with receiver connected to shield with OTG cable? I read somewhere that is also causes the same type of DPAD symptoms.
Does regular wireless keyboard/mouse combos which comes with thr own usb wireless adapter will work with the shield or do i need to buy a bluetooth only device?
Does the Plugable USB to ethernet adapter is a must for full hd streaming? If yes, does every game streams in FHD or just the supported ones? Or it is just upscaled 720p? I installed Bioshock Infinite to test over wifi (Dual Band N600) and i noticed improvements in detailing of the game and graphics if i set the game resolution from 720p to 1080p? Is thr anyway to stream FHD over wifi ?
Of all your questions, I can only confirm that wireless Keyboard/Mouse works. I'm using a logitech combo that uses those small usb receivers. The Nyko playpad pro 2 is fully compatible according to Nvidia. Don't know about the others, i've read from others that Moga and Madcatz work. I use my Dalshock 3 with sixaxis app, but i didn't try the d-pad. i'll try it out and report back if it works for me.
The DPAD is like mirroring the left analog stick. Please test the issue with native games and gamestream also and thanks for reporting the functionality of keyboard/mouse combo.

No problem. and sorry for not responding sooner, didn't saw the notification e-mail. Anyways, i tested my Dualshock 3 and yes my D-pad works well but only plugged in, while over bluetooth it seems to mirror the left stick.
Hi folks,
I´m not quit sure if it is an Android problem or a problem with my box.
When I switch off the TV when the box is connected via HMDI the box goes "off" (switching off sound for example) is there a way or setting to keep it on? So I can switch off TV and keep spotify for example on?
Yes!

Yes! I use my Chromecast in this way. What you need is an HDMI pass through device, like a stereo tuner. I have both a Chromecast and Roku dongle plugged into the HDMI ports on my tuner (it has a total of 4 hdmi ports) . A single HDMI cable then runs from the tuner to the TV. The sound comes out of my stereo speakers, not the tv, and I use the stereo's remote control to switch inputs (the TV itself is never changed from its HDMI1 input). This allows me to listen to the audio without having the TV turned on. Tuners with HDMI pass through can be expensive, but I got lucky and found one, virtually brand new with 4 HDMI inputs, at my local Good Will for $65.

I found a solution which might work. You need to "block" pin 19 from HDMI which reports powersaving / energy modes. I just need to try it at home

Did you ever get this to work?
Yesterday i receive a new T2 tv tuner.
Carefully complete the installation and I finally connect the av cables on av in and audio in ports of my unit.
I use the avin.app as preinstall application but there is a huge ! In my screen. When i switch cable from video in to f-cam in i open the f-cam and tv tuner works fine but without sound.
Is there any app which can recognise the av in port? Or something else i can do?
Hey all, I was just wondering if there was a way to bypass HDCP on Android?
I have some apps that block playback when connected to an external screen like on my TV. Is there any way to get round this? I am rooted.
I did a search and saw some stuff about HDMI splitters but I'm not sure what they do and how they really work, or if they'd work in my scenario. I use a displaylink adapter for HDMI output and it comes with an app
Thx

I am a photographer and had happily been using Google Photos to cycle images to the TV using the Ambient mode of Chromecast. This was with a Gen 1 Chromecast plug-in in the HDMI port all of my TV. I recently bought a new TCL TV with Chromecast built in and figured I would no longer need the plug-in version. That doesn't seem to work and although ambient mode is there, Google photos will not appear on the TV. If I plug in the old Chromecast dongle into an HDMI port oh, that still works fine. The idea however was to be able to use the built-in Chromecast device with nothing additional. No joy so far.
