Other than for playing videos / youtube, what else kicks out on the HDMI?
UI / Photos / Games / QIK / PowerPoint Slides / Etc?
Does the video and/or system sounds come through the HDMI as well?
TIA

I'm hoping that things likst snesoid and such go theough hdmi out /pray
From looking at the SDK, it would appear that the HDMI output needs to be explicitly called so the good news is that anyone can get their app to output to the HDMI. The bad news is that probably nothing other than some of the stock / featured apps right now will probably work with it on launch day.
Just curious if HTC enabled the UI and some of the other apps to use it.
oh my god, haha that would be sick, imagine having snesoid nesoid gensoid gbcoid all in your phone then pop out an hdmi cable, hook it up to your 50" tv and then pull out a wiimote and start playing, talk about gettin an iPhone user mad... hahaha...

that was exactly my thought, though the wiimote program doesn't work with senseui
I ordered my HDMI cable so I'll tell ya'll when I get it. My assumption is only video but I also assume that we could probably find a way to add a feature to the system to output the entire system and UI. XDA has the best of the best here so I'm sure we can do it.
The only app that uses the HDMI on the Evo right now is the Gallery app for videos and slideshows

Doesn't the YouTube App use it as well? Additionally, doesn't the Browser output via HDMI when videos are played and HDMI is connected?
Okay, so sound isn't outputed also..... that really sucks if the sound isnt outputed also.

huh? but HDMI carries sound.. Maybe they changed it so it won't put it out through HDMI and only through the audio jack.

HDMI supports sound. I have my evo but dont have the cable. The videos I have seen on youtube have sound when streaming to tv.
web browsing on tv
while i dont have an evo myself im really excited about and wish theyd have a gsm version. but anyways.. my dream is to be able to have web browsing pouring out the hdmi cable into a large tv screen.. go to a website wtih streaming video and watch it on the tv instead of being huddled around a small screen.. BONUS.. take it anywhere you want and have the power of a laptop with a bluetooth fold up keyboard.. just my thoughts.
I just received my hdmi cable. First thing I did was try to do a search before posting a thread. My problem is apparantly video goes to my TV fine but there's NO SOUNDDD. This is both in youtube and the video player. If anyone knows of a fix please let me know.
Ok got sound to work on my other TV, but no sound in the living room tv. So just to update if sound isn't working its probably the TV and not the cable.
Has any advance been made on this? I was originally under the imression that the full screen would just always get sent to the tv... was very disappointed to figure out otherwise. Especially since nesoid et all don't support it T_T

What exactly can I play with HDMI out? I have some .avi movies that I use arcMedia to play. If I just connect my HDMI and play it will it show up on my tv? Or does it have to be a specific format to play?
As of now, the only things you can output are gallery pictures (slideshow mode only), youtube, and any videos the stock app will play. so your avi's most likely wont play over hdmi.
Does anyone know if you can use the slingplayer app with the hdmi output?

Is anyone working on a fix for this?
Is it just me or did it seem like in the Sense2 'preview' given at the HTC show that someone linked earlier today HTC claimed you could use your TV as a screen for your phone? I believe the quote was something along the lines of, 'what shows up on your phone, shows up on the tv'. They didn't go into any further details, and they were talking about watching videos when they said it. However, if true video out capabilities are included in Sense2, that would be pretty bad ass. Something to keep an eye out for when it finally hits!
You can steam movies from this site (iphonemoviez.net/blog/) and use hdmi to watch on tv (wouldn't let me post full link but I'm sure you guys get it)
I don't think its full ui out yet.. Just wireless streaming of vid and pix...

I use SPB TV app from android market. It is able to stream live ~100 inet channels to HDMI. Reviews are mixed though. And it costs 10 backs for android while free for iPhone, WTF. Not that it worth to pay for given so-so quality and the channel selection could have been better.

I am waiting for my Touch pro 2 to arrive cant wait. I am most excited to start using the Video out function. I was planning to watch movies on it streamed to my tv wiht the cable. I plan to put the movies on an SD card. I also was wonder ing the TV out cable works in the Ubuntu or Android programs people have put on this.
TVOUT does not work on Android or Ubuntu for the Rhodium. I would like to see it work but I do not think its important to the devs working on the Android project cause I have never seen it mentioned as something they are working on. it could be cause the cords are not worth what you pay for them, it could also be cause the TVOUT feature is not as good as it seems to be (Blue flicker with coreplayer) or its just not simple to port to the Android project. You really should ask this question in the "touch pro 2 android development tread" so maybe we can get someone working on it.
there is a blue flicker with the TV out on the feature with Coreplayer what about .avi's in with WMP? I will be using primarily .avi files.
I just ordered my phone so I have not tried it out yet.

WMP with TVOUT seems robotic but its watchable. the only way to play it smooth for me is with coreplayet using QTV as the video driver. the only way I have found around the blue flicker is to convert my videos to MP4 and size them to 480x320 and then when I play them I restart my phone and put the cable in before starting coreplayer.
I can not find this info anywhere. Most likely I can't do this. I would like to use my old EVO like this macbook>stream to EVO>HDMI cable>TV. If this can be done, can it be HD?
And this is why questions go in the Q&A forum.

Why would you stream from your macbook to your evo and then to the TV instead of doing the Macbook straight to the TV?? You can stream from a macbook straight to the tv OR from your evo straight to the TV but not both
I would also like to use my old EVO as a media center. I know XBMC is fairly android-friendly these days. Download and install an APK.
I went and bought a new micro-HDMI cable on Amazon so in a few days and I'll post back with my findings.
My EVO is currently running a CM7 nightly from November.

just use plex or xbmc to get things streaming to the phone
once it streams to the phone, all you need to do is download an app called hdmi win from the market, start hdmi win, start your plex/xbmc app, plug the phone into the tv, boom you're good
the audio is always a little funky though
I got my HDMI cable in and installed XBMC. Using the program HDMIWIN I am able to mirror the device to my TV. The settings allow me to output to the TV at 1280x720 and the TV confirms that it is receiving a 720P signal. In the settings of the XBMC app, I am not able to change the resolution at all from 800x400. The phone itself is stuck at it's native resolution so I don't know if it is actually sending a 720P picture along the wire.
I am thinking that for standard definition media, this would be a good use of a retired EVO but if you're looking for any HD goodness, you'll probably have to use a different device.
Hi guys,
I just bought my hdtv adapter in order to connect my tab to my TV trough HDMI and happily see netflix everynight..... The thing is that for any reason when I plug the cable de image in the TV is a clone of the image in the tablet, but the uggliest point is that when I put a movie in netflix not only the image in the TV is not escalated ( I see the movie in part of the TV screen) but subtitles are not in the TV screen but they are in the tablet.
Any idea how can I can get it fixed. Is there any hdmi output control software or something like that?.
I'm trying yo get my TV dispay as an extension of the galaxy note display.
Thanks!.
I just found out, to my disappointment, the same behaviour with netflix and the allcast dongle.

do you think it's a netflix app issue or the hdmi output resolution that it's unable to fit the whole tv screen?. I hope there is a software to fix it.
Unfortunately, I do not have a clue. I will probably try and buy an android stick to bypass the problem

I would have expected stock was better than this. Seems like a lot of devices have issues with UI overlays and HDMI output. Sounds like even Samsung's stock hwcomposer is a steaming pile of ****. Or this is one of the consequences of Netflix's weirdo JPlayer.
Oh wait, never mind, stock is 4.1, JPlayer isn't used... Probably just Samsung brokenness.
For example, my Xperia T has the following issues when outputting Netflix over MHL:
UI overlays do not appear
Anamorphic video is not scaled properly. (For example, Star Trek: Enterprise on Netflix is anamorphic 640x480 video - e.g. it is stretched to display as widescreen and the pixels do not have a square aspect ratio, but when output over MHL it is displayed as if the pixels were square.)

Isn't there any player or another kind of soft to play netflix movies thorugh? or even better, a fix to it...

Sadly, this seems to be inherent to the HDMI mirror process, as I get the same on my Xoom and all my Moto phones: clear audio and video, but no overlays (controls, subtitles, etc.)
same with Play Movies
I have the same problem with my note 2, note 10.1, over hdmi adapter or allsharecast dongle both with netflix and play movies. Subtitles only on the tablet.
I have contact samsung and google about yhis annoying issue and they both try to blame each other instead of giving me a solution.
What I don't understand is how such a basic thing is not possible
When you use BS player and software encoder the subs is showing in the TV and the phone-tablet. I remember it was the same with the first Nvidia gforce graphick cards with comp-scart output on windows XP. I think it is a hardware problem. I think we need a new genaration og GPU hardware. Question is, what about Nvidia Tegra 4 chipset phones or Shield device???
Have someone got an android phone (could be LG X2) with a real HDMI output purhaps it is a MHL-HDMI problem
It's a hardware issue, yes- the movie is rendered via the hardware-accelerated video channel that also outputs thru the HDMI (and/or Miracast) streams. However, since subtitles (and other such overlays) are decoded and rendered outside the main video stream (that's done on a seperate video channel) that's normally overlaid over the display stream.
This issue isn't limited to just Exynos chips, either- I know for sure the Tegra2 and one of the QCT Snapdragons is like this, too; I suspect the issue actually comes from Hollywood, as DRM protection implies you can't manipulate the buffer that's displaying the external streams (yes, even for your own (non-DRMed) content, sadly), but don't quote me on this.
In order for a player to give you subtitles that display on external devices they'd have to render everything in software, and I don't think every stream will play smoothly that way. I do remember seeing a video player that does do subtitles on the All-Share Cast stream; I think it was the Archos one.
I think what you most have, is just a setting problem.
I have galaxy s3 and samsung tv connected through hdmi adapter.
By default this behaves exactly as my windows media pc, app. 10 pixels are cut on all sides. When you change your tv settings not to overscan, the image is perfect. In samsung tvs (tested 50" plasma and 22" lcd) you do this in by setting the size of the display, from 16:9 to customized. I have Finnish ui, so i do not know the exact terms.
In this way most of the programs work ok, including e.g. Xbmc.
But this does not fix netflix, it is seen on tv as 4:3 without any subtitles. So i would blame netflix first.

I am looking to find a good device that's compatible with my 10.1 2014 edition Note, and will stream video, along with screen mirroring if possible, all to my HDTV. I have a 32" Samsung smart TV that does this flawlessly but I want to also be able to do this with my 42" Panasonic Plasma TV (It has USB ports but does not appear to have DLNA or any method of streaming video since it does not have wifi built in.) I know there's the Samsung brand Allshare device, but I've heard quite a bit of negative feedback about it. Ultimately I want something that will be reliable, and will also stream 1080p video. I saw that there are various Miracast devices, but many that I have seen do not have especially great reviews. I saw that the Roku devices can send video to an HDTV but it seems that they only do this with select Android devices, and I wasn't able to find a list of compatible devices on the Roku.com website. Lastly I was also thinking that I could possibly stream video to my Panasonic TV if I got a wifi USB stick, but I'm not sure if this would allow DLNA/video streaming. Any help with finding a device for my tablet that would allow me to stream video to my TV would be most appreciated.

I've the AllShare Cast Hub and if work well with Note 10.1.
Better than using S3 or S4. With them I've a lot of random disconnections.
Unfortunately AllShare Cast Hub stream only at 720p ancd not at 1080p. On the box I can read 1080p, but I've NEVER got this kind of connection with S3, S4 or Note 10.1.
Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely consider the Allshare box, although I may just go with a hard wired MHL2 connection since I really want to get 1080p.
Just found this IOGEAR box that isn't released till 12/20/2013, yet it looks like it may be exactly what I'm looking for! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815290053
Guess I'll have to wait till its released to see how it performs, and if it works well with my tablet.
It's not screen mirroring, but have you checked out Google Chromecast? I don't have one, but it looks promising and may be the simplest and cheapest solution for what you're looking for.
Do you have a Samsung smart tv? I have a 6500 and my s4 and this note 10.1 2014 screen mirrors fine in 1080. It may be the TV you have? If you don't have a Samsung smart TV the the All share hub is likely what you're looking at to achieve your goal.

I tried the Chromecast and wasn't satisfied. On lifejacket there's a good article about the pros and con's http://lifehacker.com/google-chromecast-does-it-deserve-a-place-in-your-livi-945082974
I think a Roku will be a good solution for many people, but if you take time to read about all the miracast products you may find a really good and inexpensive way to do it.

I have an older plasma Panasonic that is somewhat "smart" but doesn't have built in wifi. The ioGear will work with just about any tv but I definitely needs an hdmi input, and I believe a usb input. Streaming runs beautifully even when running 1080p video files that are over 2 GB. I use MX player (the free version.)
