3D Photos via HDMI - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, have tried making a 3D photo. I use my bravia HX920 to see the photo with the phone connected via HDMI. The problem is that the resolution is very poor.
Is there any way I can configure the arc to see the 3d photos in the tv at 1080P via HDMI? Thanks

Only 480p and 720p are supported by arc.
Checked it at the service menu of the phone.
Sigh, as most 3D TVs are Full HD.

720p should be pretty good though?? that SD (as per most TV broadcasts!)

Where i can configure 480 or 720?

Go to phone dialer. Type *#*#7378423#*#*. Go to Service tests and look for HDMI Test and choose HDMI Settings. 720p is the highest resolution.

[Q] full hd playback on Wave

Is there any tweak for full hd (1920x1080) video playback on wave??
But this makes really no sense...
Display is 480 x 800 Pixel...
I think als TV output is 480 x 800 Pixel ?
Will check.
Anyway. Wave must shrink/scale Video for playback...
Why not use PC... there are more then 10000000 Tools for convert Videos...
Best Regards

It doesn't make you sense? for example galaxy s support full hd video playback and display is also 480x800 pixel...

At the moment you have NOT full access to change all internal bada OS parts... Read about apps_compressed.bin or the OSP thingies with *.so extension...
So you have 2 choose between:
A.: galaxy s
B.: do nothing and wait... wait and wait...
or C... if Wave not play your Video, then convert before on PC.
Your choice.
Oh forgotten, you could research by yourself... maybe I have something overseen.

But Galaxy S have (micro?) HDMI output, right? So it is possible to get 1080p on Full HD TV. And Wave have only TV-Out analog PAL 576 lines/NTSC 480 lines. And also 4 GB limitation on SD card - FAT32 file system. And finally, there is no difference in video quality on Wave's screen (800x480!) between 720p with high bitrate (4-5 Mbps) and 720p with bitrate ~900 kbps after transcoding (I tested it). Artefacts are invisible on Wave's screen, only on monitor or TV with full resolution of 720p you'll see the video isn't good. But on Wave's display it's clean.
PS. Wave won't play video with too high bitrate (higher than 5-7Mbps, I don't remember exactly, I've checked this on some video samples).

Some HDTVs have 720p resolution. It might have something to do with it, thats why your phone outputs 720p instead of 1080p. I set mine on 1080p and its working fine.

Well on Xperia P you must go in the service menu and enable the 1080p output

Hi,
I have sony ION with ICS-404
Stock Firmwares
Build ↓ OS Version ↓ Region ↓ Model ↓
6.1.E.1.20 4.0.4 International LT28h Generic
My AOC TV support FULL HD ie 1920x1080 Resolution. My sony laptop and [Iberry AUX01 Tablet(Cheaper Tablet ie INR 6000/-)] support FULL HD and working fine with AOC TV.
So I wonder why not my ION should Support FULL HD tv out ie 1920x1080 resolution. Currently I am using Sony Xperia Ion micro-HDMI to HDMI Port Saver Adapter (Type D to Type A).
Shall I need other firmware or HDMI setting, plz let me know !!!
Let it at 1280*720 p
Because if you set it at fullhd(1080) , the phone will only do an upscaling , but the quality will be the same of 1280*720p because phone render all at HD(720p) resolution
Anyway if you want try type *#*#7378523#*#* in dialer , next go to service test and after that go to the tv-out test . Here there are also settings for tv-out

Hi,
Right !
SONY ION phone render all at HD(720p) resolution ONLY, ie HDMI out Mirroring.
But I am seeking Actual 1920x1080 p resolution. Not just phone mode cloning.
Like PC/laptop HDMI out , while connect to Second monitor It uses FULL HD.
Does Sony ION HDMI out use TV/monitor as Second output ?
Anybody using a ION Phone as a live view, external monitor for video?
ie DUAL display Mode ?

How do you change the HDMI-output resolution?

According to my TV, the output resolution is 720p. How do I change the output resolution to 1080p?

Since the phone's own native resolution is 720p and with mhl cable You only mirror the screen of Your phone, I think You can't change the output signal.
I guess...
But hey! Good luck! Maybe You'll find something! :good:

S9 and Netflix low resolution problem

I cant get Netflix app to play videos with higher resolution than 720p and 30 FPS. The S9 has hardware capability to show 1440p and 60FPS, but Netflix seems to limit this to low resolution.
Any fix for this?
I have tried it on out superfast Wi-Fi and superfast LTE, no difference.
You can check this with Netflix own "Test Pattern" videos. Actual FPS and Resolution is shown in upper right corner when you zoom out to original video size.

No root. Actually have the same problem on my Tab S4.
But we get full 4K and 60 FPS on our Samsung TV built in app, and also our Nvidia Shield TV.

I believe resolution is limited by your Netflix subscription, if you only paid for 720p then that's the max res you can watch with

App limitation apparently, this one might get you 1080p
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix/netflix-5-3-1-build-19296-release/
all versions up to 5.3.1 operate at 1080p and a bitrate of 5800kbps which is the highest quality possible on smartphones.

I tested this method today, it works! So it is indeed app limitation NOT subscription. Tested it on my s9 and girfriends s9+, both worked. However, getting to 720p resolution on the newer versions is much faster than getting to 720p or 1080p on this older version. So maybe locking to 720p is the effect of some network and streaming optimizations.
Had to go older to get mine working

I tried 5.3.1 but it immediately prompted me to update to continue. So I used 4.12.2 and my content was watchable again. I’m on an S9 with Pie.

Enable Galaxy TAB S7/S7+ 4K resolution (Using ADB)

I am unsure if this thread belongs here. Kindly let me know if it doesn't or please move it.
I was wondering if the TAB S7/S7+ would let me play YouTube videos on 4K using the native app but unfortunately it doesn't for obvious reasons using stock settings.
So I figured a way to enable this using ADB. I am unsure how much this affects the battery life since I am still testing app compatibility and power usage.
ADB Commands
1. To set 4K resolution -
adb shell wm size 2400x3840
adb shell wm density 1024 (or whatever suits your eyes, mine is 1200)
2. To reset to default -
adb shell wm size reset
adb shell wm density reset
So if anyone's interested all you have to do is -
1. Download minimal ADB and install it if you do not have ADB installed.
2. Open Command Prompt in the ADB folder by pressing Shift Key and selecting the Right Click option "Open command prompt here".
3. Run "ADB devices" without quotes and accept the prompt on your device (Your device must have USB debugging enabled, if you don't know how or have it enabled you probably shouldn't be doing this).
4. Run the above "To set 4K" commands to set the display resolution to 4k.
5. Clear the app data of Youtube and restart the device.
6. (Optional/Reset) To reset the display resolution to default, just run the 2nd set of commands.
Not sure this is actually making the screen dislay 4k.
It doesn't actually MAKE your screen 4k as the display only supports 2k. The device renders everything in 4k and then outputs it on the display just like what Retina Displays or Nvidia DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution) does.
Just in case you want to actually make sure everything is running in 4k, you can simply try running a 4k video on Youtube which otherwise you cant!

Right, so what's the point? The 4k video doesn't look better on a 2k screen.
Since DSR and Retina Displays already exist, I believe there are some advantages. You have to try it to believe it. The displays feel a lot sharper, edges feel smoother, fonts look amazing, overall it just looks good on the huge display of my Tab s7+.
Coming back to that I need to ask you, did you try this before asking me the POINT. Coz I feel if you would have, you wouldn't be asking me this!

Yes, I did, and it looks no different. It's a 2k screen, enabling something to load a 2k screen with 4k will make no difference. Not trying to argue, just saying, it's pointless.
I accept it doesn't make any greatly significant difference but then its subjective. It was just an experiment and I wanted to try it. There are many people out there who always want to run youtube at 4k, this was simply my answer to that problem, although it has its own downside and implications.
Thanks for figuring this out! Often 4k will look better on a 2k screen than 2k on a 2k screen.
This is because pixels from youtube don't always line up perfectly to the tablet pixels and you end up with a resolution less than 2k when you have it set to 2k. When you stream at 4k from youtube, the content is delivered with smaller pixels and ends up looking better on a 2k display.
Thanks for this going to give it a try on my 7 plus.
it worked now i get the option to 2160 resolution, it does look sharper.
good work thanks very simple
Hey
When i use the command "densiti" my screen become wery BIG otherwise the "size" resolution is great
is that normal ??
There's also Newpipe to get 4K Youtube without hacking. As a bonus, it also gets rid of the ads.
Does this work on Netflix? Will the maximum resolution on netflix and prime video change to uhd?
What the Implications and Downsides to this?

The point is higher bitrate. Youtube compresses videos so much so 4k will have a much higher bitrate than 1440p and look better.
Btw, use youtube vanced for 4k but use sparingly as it blocks ads. I wouldn't suggest using it very often because it doesn't support creators
What about on Samsung Dex or any kindof screen mirroring on external monitors? Any way to get the S7+ to send more than 1440p to an external monitor through any means?
For instance if you set the resolution to 4k with ADB, and then you mirror your display via a [email protected] usb-c / hdmi cable to your 4k screen, will the screen receive a 4k signal?
Can anyone (Stryker_Echo9er) try that?

If you have unlimited data and an old device lying around (all it has to be able to do is run the official Youtube app), you can leave the video playing on that device with ads while you watch on your S7 or whatever without ads. Best of both worlds, the only extra you pay is that little bit of electricity to run the other device.
YouTube now natively supports 4K HDR.
Now you can watch high quality 4K YouTube videos on Android phones
Support for 4K HDR playback was only there for iPhone users while Android smartphone users were only able to play YouTube videos at a maximum resolution of 1440 pixels.

I tried doing that on my 8-series Samsung TV, unfortunately, it doesn't work on my TV via USB-C (using an HDMI Dongle) or screen mirroring. I am not sure if it would work on displays with a type-c port.

Thanks for trying. But do you mean that it doesn't work at all, as in you can't use dex on your TV? Or does it mean it just doesn't do 4k?
