Thought i would shoot this question out there while still continuing to search for the solution.. Has anyone had any luck with using HDMI video glasses with an Android phone using HDMI mirroring? I have a EVO 4G running Cyan 7, HDMWin for mirroring, Crazyremote for remote access to my pc, and now just looking for video glasses to use as a portable monitor for the HDMI mirroring. Resolutions less than 720p would be fine too if there is a portable way of converting the resolution to something lower.
Thanks.
I just got the hdmi connector in the mail and it works great but when I play a netflix movie on the big screen it has 2 large bars on both sides of the screen as if it seems to be in a 4:3 format. Is there any way to fill the wholescreen?

I got the same problem using the wireless hub.
My LG BP730 3D UltraHD upscaling Bluray player has miracast and private sound features that may be useful for screen mirroring.
It works fine with my samsung galaxy S4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRSVyxyuO_M even for full HD videos

Are you still happy with this device (LG bp730)? I'm considering buying a 3d BluRay player with miracast support... have you tried any others? I'm especially curious as to how it compares with the much cheaper Toshiba BDX5400. I would also appreciate more details about strengths and weaknesses of the LG unit after having used it for a while.
I'm planning on using it with a Note 2 and an LG 65LM6200 3D TV... if you have a similar setup, can one magic remote work for both devices? I find that the menu & apps (amazon prime, youTube) on my LG TV are often sluggish, any improvement on the bluray player?
Thanks for the input..

sorry for the late reply, just saw your post. Was on a few weeks holiday in aug so didnt see your post. Came back to a gazillion emails in my account so might have missed the alerts from here.
I have update my amazon Uk review for this player. It works fine for bluray and 3d bluray on my LG smart TV. The private sound mode just works for bluray and not other stuff which was a disappointment. There are some firmware bugs, once as i was repeatedly trying to get the private sound mode to work for other stuff the device froze and i couldnt even eject the bluray. Even rebooting a couple of times didnt get the bluray to eject, but after a couple more times it did work fine.
Smart apps on any smart TV or smart bluray player are a joke. I have a smart sony TV, another smart LG tv and a smart sony bluray player and another smart LG bluray player. All their smart features are barely OK but really ****ty in comparison to any cheap android stick or android minipc. Android mini pc is much more versatile when plugged into a regular TV. In my youtube uploads I deliberately showed an android mini PC being used with an old cathode ray TV and now that old smart cathode ray TV with android minipc is smarter than any new smart TV. on the youtube upload the picture looks crap, but on the TV its not crap. Reason it looks crap on the upload is because the cathode ray TV is 420p and i shot it in a 1080p camera and uploaded to youtube in 1080p and hence the 480p TV shown on 1080p camera upload looks crap. Just mentioning this to show that android mini pc is a better buy if you just want smart features.
If you want miracast the netgear ptv3000 dongle is good (also shown on my uploads) and this miracast on this bluray is also good. I havent used the toshiba so cant comment about its quality. I have used miracast on sony TVs in shops and they work fine.

try to see is the problem is some interference. You can check yourself by sitting in various areas around the tv with clear line of sight between tv and the note with nothing in between, if the case on your note has metal then remove the case have you updated the tv firmware. try to link TV to internet via ethernet or powerline adapters instead of wifi. the tv connecting to wifi and miracast at same time might cause some interference. hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.. I was mostly interested in 3d bluray and miracast from a single device... a better / faster UI & apps would be nice, but I probably won't buy the lg since it sounds like it probably isn't that much better than my LG TV, but costs more than the toshiba.
:good:

I sorted it by playing content through dlna and using the smart share app on the tv it workd brilliantly now
I tried my Galaxy Note Edge with HDMI (using the Smart Dock) and Screen Mirroring and in both cases the edge panel was displayed at the top of the screen when watching a movie in full screen on the TV.
Does anyone know if there is a way to hide the edge panel in this case?

I am currently having the same issue plus the screen is getting cropped because of the 16:10 aspect ratio which includes the edge screen, which mean that the note edge is actually pushing out a higher resolution than the note 4 but it also mean the edge sends an image with a black bar on the left and the right of the tv..
The phone really slows down when miracast is used, from 60fps to around 24fps. input responsiveness takes a hit as well.
If you use Wifi direct or all share instead of mirror. You wont get the edge bar.

I spent over an hour on YouTube yesterday and never got the edge screen on mine. I used allshare through the YouTube app
Mine still says Galaxy Note Edge
hello xda developers !!
I just got the USB-HDMI for my Galaxy Note Edge, and first I should say the WOW factor, it is great and (short of) unbelievable seeing this thing working on the bigscreen
(just take POPcorn for testing purpose and you will know what I mean)
Nevertheless, the WOW goes a bit down for the upper bar with the Galaxy thing (and the cropped sizes)
Did you, @bignibb, or others, come to solve it?
@larollin what do you mean with "Wifi direct" or "all share". All that I do is connect the usb-hdmi cable, and HDMI connected message come to screen
By the way, sound goes off from mobile to TV, thats great for TV, but not so much for proyector,
can be set that the sound goes still from mobile ?
thanks in advance

Is that something you have to purchase cables for? I'm just wondering about from my phone to a samsung tv with the built it apps on the phone and tv.
It looks like mine is 1080p or even 1440p when I screen mirror to my samsung tv. Try a YouTube video on 720p then max resolution and see if you can see a difference.
