As the XOOM itself only seems to support [email protected] via the Micro-HDMI out, I was wondering whether the HD speaker dock (with it's upgraded speakers) also allows 1080p output via it's HDMI out? Anyone have it? Does it still only do 720p? If it's 1080p, then is it 60Hz or 120Hz?
Im going to have to go with no, it will not do 1080p out of the dock. all the dock would be is a micro hdmi extension, and HD just is referring to is the "HD" sound that you are now getting.
I dont think the Xoom will be able to do 1080p out being that the tegra 2 only supports up to 1050 lines i think.
but hey you never know with a little tweaking maybe some one can push 1080p out, but will never be a stock feature.
Yes, I am hoping that like the overclock of 1Ghz to 1.5Ghz there might be something similiar that can be done with the HDMI out somehow.
xoom looks great with hdmi out to my 24" monitor, but looks absolutely terrible on my bad ass 58" plasma. go figure.

I just got a USB to HDMI cable, or can be called a MHL cable for my SGSII, but the output resolution was only 720*480(not 800*480, not 1080P, not 1080i) after the phone had been connected to the LCD screen(the screen reported this information).
I tried to set the monitor to "Full Screen" mode, but it just upscaled the image, the resolution still remained at 720*480.
Anyone has any idea about this problem?
BTW, I'm using the SiyahKernel with the stock ZSKI3 ROM.
Thanks!!
Open up the video player, it outputs at max resolution.
It does this because the system UI is running at a low resolution, so it can't output higher.
Like you I was under the distinct impression when I purchased my GS2 that the phone would output 1080p through MHL. Sadly this has not been the case. I was wondering if I was forgetting some setting but based on this thread it appears I'm not.
Wouldn't have been a deal breaker but it's still too bad.

Let's be clear.
The phone DOES output 1080p through the onboard video player. Open up a 1080p video and try it out.
Using the Samsung MHL adapter, I can do 1080i to my 32" Vizio (the only HDMI monitor I have access to). I see this resolution even when not running the video player; i.e. on the main "desktop" and app drawer screens. Of course, that's upscaled, but it still looks pretty good.
The Vizio supports 1080p, but for whatever reason, the MHL adapter won't provide it. I haven't spent a lot of time on this, but maybe I'll take another look at it over the weekend.

I did try the 1080P video playback as soon as I got the MHL, but like I said, the resolotion which the LCD screen reported is only 720*480, no matter in what kind of UI or application.
I had a LG Optimus 2x few months ago, and the HDMI on it worked perfectly with the same LCD screen.
Actually i noticed some interesting things when playing with the MHL. As i got a Samsung P2770HD screen i got basically all the connections. When i plug the phone directly by the HDMI plug screen reports full HD resolution (upscalled ofc, wondering if changing lcd density could give this some smoothness), but when i plug it trough the same cable but with a HDMI-DVI converter on the end the screen reports a lower resolution, phones native one if i remember correctly (which looks actually smooth and not pixelated, but i think there were all the fancy monitor's software enhancements on).

I've got a feeling you got this instead. www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-FT-Generic-Hi...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2567cc3a59
Excuse me, but at a first glance i dont think such cable could give any output at all, from what i understand of the mhl protocol the signal is different (quoting wikipedia "Other than the connectors being used, no USB nor HDMI technology is being used. It is exclusively MHL signalling through the connectors and over the cable. Other proprietary and custom connections are also allowed."). Fortunately we got an easy way to know, Thread starter, does your cable have also the power connection? And do you use it?
I wonder in the Note outputs at 720p?

I see the HDMI output quality very poor
I believe it has to be related to software or cable/monitor hardware, because my stuff gives me full hd resolution. Maybe compatibility issues, as we are using mhl adapters?

what rom are you use ?
Stock, Kies supplied ki4 CF-rooted. Nothing fancy as u can see. Also my screen is a samsung P2770HD, which might be helping. As I posted a page before, I get low resolution when connecting to DVI trough an adaptor.

I use stock KI3 and you should test on some larger LCD 40-46"
When I finally get my hdmi - dvi - d-sub converter i'll try to use
Some of the projectors in the university, that might give interesting results. Anyone tried to use better lcd density values to compensate for the upscalling?

Also can be the cable. Some ebay cables doesn't support HD resolution.
Hi guys
i just bought mhl to hdmi convertor off ebay and it supports 1080p resolution. However when i connect it with my Gnex it only outputs 640x480 resolution ...is there any fix for this??

did you sort this as ive got the same but im using a hdmi to dvi adaptor to try on a monitor, it says 1280 x 720 support on the box...
cheers
I'm experiencing some sort of overscan when using the adapter, but I'm not sure if it is the phone, my av-receiver or the TV.
Oh well. It was dirt cheap on dealextreme.com. Not like I lost a lot of money
I haven't got one yet but have been researching like crazy. What I have found so far is that cheap ones are cheap. They do what yours is doing, the connections need to be wiggled to keep it connected etc. Spring for a good quality one if you're actually going to be using it. The folks at MHL have a good one I think, just haven't been able to find it.
No 1080p when using DVI
What a pity! Back in time, when we had ICS there we at least got the possibility to use 1280x720 (as far as I remember) when using a monitor via mhl->hdmi->dvi chain, now we are only getting 640x480, Even when watching movies.
You will only get full HD whenn you connect directly usb-.hdmi->TV
So no desktop mode any more.

I don't know how helpful this is, but Samsung actually makes an HDMI media dock for the GNex that works really well. I'm not sure how much it costs, however, as mine came with my phone.
The only issue I've had with it is that I have to take the case off my phone to use it.
The real good question...
The real question here is: "Can the Galaxy Nexus output 1080p playback, given his native resolution IS NOT 1080p?"
I mean, I know that OSs can adapt second displays and all that, Linux does that, but can Android do that? Treat the HDMI output as a second and independent display? I hope it can. I have a MHL=>HDMI cable (that also needs the power adapter to be plugged in) and I can only get 720p out of it, and the GNex can actually play 1080p movies, so... That would be awesome to play 1080p movies on my TV screen.
As of my current understanding / testing when connected to a HDTV / monitor etc via MHL, currently the ONe x mirrors the screen, so you get 720p. It doesnt look all that good (I have tested on a few native 1080p Tv's, and some look better than others.
I would assume that the hardware is easily capable of outputting 1080p (rather than just mirroring the 720p screen of the phone ?)
Any Devs, or any opinions as to whether this is something that could ever be expected from HTC, or possible to add to a custom rom..
I understand that other lower spec'd HTC phones can output 1080p (even though their screen native resolution is lower.. - Sensation XL or Evo 3D - sorry not sure which one exactly..).
I have to be honest I was pretty bummed when I connected it to the TV .. I just sort of expected it would do 1080p out of the box....
Also I understand that Media link HD only currently offers 720p mirroring of the screen.. Does anyone know if this is likely to support 1080 (maybe wifi bandwith limitation ..)
the lower spec phones i.e. the evo 3d that i own will only output 1080p at 24hz making everything laggy. also it doesn`t seem to be 1080p at all but simply upscaled by the tv itself. the images are not sharp at all but look fine from a distance. if i set the phone to output a 720p it will display at 60hz and image quality will be similar if not the same. if you look at the specs you will see that the tegra 3 cannot output to 1080p howver the tegra 3 + can. maybe a good dev will be able to help you out since i intend to buy a tegra 3 device too.

Could not stand still here but if you check nvidia's site it says that HDMI: 1920x1080 so it is capable of 1080p

Hey all , just playing around with my One x through MHL and noticed its only outputting at 640x480 @60hz !
It should be 1280x720 at least.
Ive checked on a few screens around my home.
I have this Adapter http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007K8NN9U/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
Anyone else have similar issues?
I wants Full HD's
There should be something wrong either with your MHL adapter or your software, its working pretty well with my ONE X and im getting 720p with no prob...
which adapter do you use ? I might just get a new one!
I use samsung Micro usb to MHL i used to use it with the galaxy note and S2
My girl friends sensation fills my 42" 1080p screen perfectly while outputting via MHL but my ONE X has borders the whole way round. It also does this on a smaller 720p screen.
Guessing its a Tegra issue.

Are you using a HDMI-to-DVI adapter by any chance? During connection handshaking, the phone queries the external display for 1280x720 60Hz, if not found, it will drop down to 640x480. You can use MonInfo the check your televisions's EDID info:
http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm
The CE mode IDs are what are being scanned, and you need to be talking to an HDMI port for this.

This is a known problem with One X unfortunately. It's shrinking the output image if the display has overscan modes, rather, it should be checking if the display has underscan modes and output 1:1 by default. I've submitted this issue as a bug to HTC, and am still awaiting a reply from engineering.
I don't believe this is a problem with Tegra, because the Transformer Prime will display full screen when the HDTV is configured for 1:1.
Ah thanks for the info. I'll will also mention this to them. Hope a fix comes out as its a PITA.
I'm also noticing that the image is broken up in to lots of mini squares when playing MKV. Perhaps this is MK player rather then MHL adapter. Anyone else noticed this?
The small squares look like bad image scaling , there almost overlapped. Circles look jagged etc
I'm trying to hook my S3 to my TV setup and am not having much fun with it. With the MHL I am getting stuttering and lagging. I have:
Samsung MHL adapter (from Infuse)
Samsung 11-to-5 pin converter
Samsung 1080p HDTV
BT keyboard & mouse, charger, HDMI, etc.
Stock ROM
The image quality is good for web and photo use but it lags and stutters. For games it makes some games nearly unplayable. I can see the phone's screen and everything is smooth but looking at HDTV I can see a lag maybe 0.5 seconds and much slower update rate, very obvious when you move the mouse. The TV shows [email protected], so it's not 1080p. I've done a LOT of searching online so maybe there's not anything new to say but I guess some people have been able to get [email protected] I guess one thing I didn't find, does ANYONE have smooth/lag-free 1080p with S3 MHL with any adapter?
I wonder if 1080i video plays at true 1080 resolution because I noticed when I play back 1080i videos I've taken with the phone itself the image quality and speed are much better. Maybe that's why Samsung decided on 1080i output rather than 720p? I came across a kernel for HTC One S (which is also a Qualcomm S4) that supposedly forces 720p... is there one for the S3?
Another issue is that audio only comes out HDMI, I want it to come out of headset to plug into AV system. I've seen a lot of people with the problem posting but no solutions? Probably isn't possible...
My third problem I actually found an issue to. That is removing the onscreen keyboard when using bluetooth keyboard and mouse. For that I used the app Null Keyboard: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wparam.nullkeyboard&hl=en

Thought I'd pipe in. I am also trying to figure out if this MHL adapter allows 1080p video as I want to use it for watching movies on a 60" 1080p plasma TV, as I don't want to purchase it if it doesn't and the forums are very confusing on whether it does or doesn't.
I wanted to say about your second problem. If you want to pipe the audio to a stereo/surround sound system, all you have to do is plug the TV audio output into the sound system's audio input. This is how I have my laptop to TV setup currently: laptop HDMI-> TV; TV audio out -> sound system.
Just be aware, some TV"s or sound systems might not have compatible audio connections. For example, in order to hook up my Vizio sound bar to my Panasonic Plasma, I had to use the fiber optic cable.... didn't have audio RCA audio out on my Panasonic.
Thought I would amend my previous statement. I was assuming that you wanted the sound that goes with the TV only... However, if you are just looking to have music on without turning on your TV, you can get a cheap miniplug-to-RCA adapter from Radioshack or the like. Should probably cost around $10 on any given day. I've been doing this with my sound system and portable phone/players for years.
buy a dual/quad core HDMI "thumbstick" for $100.
It'll be better then what you are trying to accomplish
