[Q] HDMI problem - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have a question for you all.
I have SE Arc s and I am trying to connect my HDMI to my monitor.
The cable is going like this SE ARC S - hdmi(male) - hdmi(female) - hdmi(female) - dvi as you can see I am trying to connect it through dvi output.
First of all I dont have any problems connecting it to my tv set but when I connect it to the monitor it says "no video input" and then it goes to sleep mode.
Two days ago it started working but when I try to play a movie it twitches and freezes.
What is the reason?
Now monitor just says "no video input"
Thanks

Which is your current fw ?

Hi
I am using stock .42 fw and it is rooted, but bootloader is not unlocked.

Sounds like the DVI to HDMI adaptor is faulty, could you test it with something else?

sounds like your monitor might have trouble with frequency. .... your tv is usualy 60hz or 70hz .... check this out .... if it works on tv but not your monitor. ... that could be it

[Q] MHL / HDMI + Bluetooth Devices force exact mirroring

Hello,
I got my Galaxy Nexus (GSM, Android 4.0.4 Stock, rooted) hooked up to my LCD Monitor via the Samsung MHL adaptor (HDMI port). My Plan was to use ist as a take-with-you-pc, so i got a Bluetooth Mouse and an BT Keyboard as well.
When i use the Browser or a text editor everything is working fine BUT if i watch a video on youtube(app) or a streaming site (Flash Player/HTML5) in full screen, it shows me the controls (pause, fast forward, search, back, home, ...) only the Phone and not on my LCD.
I am completly unable to control the Phone with my BT mouse, because i cant see the pointer on the LCD (it works on the phones screen)
Even if i pause the Video/open menue/... i cant do anything witch my BT devices besides clicking blind witch a chance of hitting the right button.
When i watch a video using the MX Player in Software mode, everything works.
It seems the "Issue" (probably by design) only occures via hardware decoding.
Is there any Fix for that?
I apologize for language mistakes...
I haven't tried it on 4.0.4, but this was the issue I reported to Google.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24784
But I'm glad to know that MX Player in software mode works. I'll check that out later on. Thanks!
I have sent the mouse and the HDMI cable back to the dealer (you can do this in Germany :-D ) and ordered a long cable. If you want to use MHL, I recommend you don't buy a mouse but a long cable.

720p output to all tv, can you do it?

Can someone make kernel or tell me how to do this, maybe thru some kind of converter or something like that?
1080p/24Hz is chopy for games so maybe this can be done by software or hardware fix??
There is similar kernel but for One S so I belive this can be done for note 2.
Pls help this is realy big issue for mhl/tv output and i didnt find any solution on web how to make this happen on note 2.
I'm to having same issue.
Choppy with the dock. My GNex works so smoothly compared and it's half the phone although it is rooted.
I'd be very excited to known if a custom kernel can fix this. I've posted something similar already in this thread.
Cheers guys.

I hope for the fix to, it a shame that this isnt implemented like and option in stock software. One again please devs or anybody help us with this problem :crying:
Going to try to fix this thru vga pc because in my tv manual says I can select resolution myself thru this input (RGB PC only).
Maybe you too can do something with this.
Well i cant post links so this is what I will test with my Note2:
RED Galaxy S3 SIII i9300 i9308 MHL Micro USB 11pin to HDTV HDMI
HDMI Female to Female F/F Coupler Extender Adapter Connector
Gold HDTV HDMI to VGA HD15 3 RCA Adapter Cable 5ft
When tested will report here... still hoping for kernel modification of some kind...
I have a N7100 and a smart dock this has been my experience:
HDMI -> DVI adapter plugged into a Dell U2312HM via DVI (HDCP compliant):
- Stuck at 720x480 resolution no matter what.
- When mouse and external display is connected there is a drop in frame rate. However, if the mouse OR the external display are connected seperately the FPS remains high.
HDMI cable to my 26" Westinghouse 1080P TV (HDCP compliant but constantly has handshaking issues):
- Appears to display at 1080p or at least scaled up 720p though I set my TV in 1:1 and there are no black bars so I suspect 1080p.
- When mouse and external display is connected there is a drop in frame rate. However, if the mouse OR the external display are connected seperately the FPS remains high.
It seems that there is a bug in the code that has to do with when the phone enters that "desktop mode." There also seems to be a bug when using an adapter for some reason as well. The N7100 seems to act completely differently than my PS3. My PS3 connects wonderfully using the same adapter and the same Dell monitor, no handshaking issues. Though my PS3 to get sound out of the TV's speakers I have to mute and then unmute the TV to get sound anytime the HDMI link is closed and then reopened (starting a game for example). While it seems the N7100 behaves oppositely.
Update on my Gold HDTV HDMI to VGA HD15 3 RCA Adapter Cable 5ft combination is not working the device dont check connection thru hdmi rgb input (no signal or notification of connection). So I belive only hdmi input/output works with note 2. Once again pls help us regarding this option to lock device on 720p output thru hdmi.
man i really need this force 720p playback option as well...

force 1080p output resolution for HDMI

Hello,
Today I got my Samsung Smart Dock which is working as supposed with my Note 3. My issue is that in a TV, it will display correctly at the TV native resolution, but in my monitor (I-INC iP221) it will display as 640x480 60Hz. The monitor is capable of displaying at 1080p since I use it with my PC. I would like to know if there is a way I can force 1080p to the monitor. I would like to use my Note 3 as a Desktop Replacement for office things, web browsing and media playback.
I have tried several HDMI to DVI adapters I have and I also used an HDMI to DVI cable I also own and it still displays at 640x480 resolution...
My Note 3 is stock ROM and is rooted.
Thanks for all the help you guys can offer.
I already tried using the command
echo U:1920x1080p-2 > /sys/class/graphics/fb1/mode
the modes file shows:
U:640x480p-0
U:1920x1080p-2
but the 1920x1080p-2 mode only keeps the screen black until I disconnect and connect the monitor again where it defaults to 640x480 mode
Hello I have the same issue with galaxy s3 and s4 when i connect to my hdtv directly to hdmi I get 1080P. But when I use my hdmi to dvi adapter I only get 480p. Have you found a solution?

Try disabling HDMI-CEC on your bluray player and your tv or if they are already disabled maybe try enabling them.. Different companies tend to call this different things...
AOC: E-link
Hitachi: HDMI-CEC
LG: SimpLink
Mitsubishi: NetCommand for HDMI
Onkyo: RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI)
Panasonic: HDAVI Control, EZ-Sync, or VIERA Link
Philips: EasyLink
Pioneer: Kuro Link
Runco International: RuncoLink
Samsung: Anynet+
Sharp: Aquos Link
Sony: BRAVIA Sync
Toshiba: CE-Link or Regza Link
Vizio: CEC
i have tried altering settings but still the same problems , now when i connect the hdmi lead to the atv , the sound on the tv channels , stutters every few seconds , even if the atv is unplugged at the mains , is the soundbar faulty , as ive tried different hdmi leads and the same thing happens if i connect an apple tv 2 , even if thats not plgged in at the mains ? thanks
Change the resolution setting on the FireTV from auto to a fixed setting e.g 1080p 60Hz.
The communication error will magically be fixed.
It seems Amazon's Auto resolution function doesn't play nicely with Sony's CEC implementation.

TCL C715 - Major problem with ARC and HDMI-CEC. Please advice.

Hi guys! Ofesad here from Argentina.
First a litte history: I had a Sony XBR55X805E (android tv) until january. Was killed by a electric surge.
Since then I dont have a TV.
So, yesterday I got a TCL 55" C715 QLED. Picture looks nice, however I have been finding problems all around that I cant seem to find a solution.
First, the most important one: NO AUDIO on ARC.
I have a Yamaha RXV-673 (Dolby+ and DTS, no Atmos). The TV "sees" it as an input device. I can see the receiver menus when I select the HDMI 1 on the tv.
I have try'd changing a lot of things and never saw it as a output device. Even changed the hdmi cable and port (in case of mislabeling), no change.
Of course I tested the receiver with another source and it works perfectly, as it always did with the Sony.
Second, the HDMI-CEC doesnt seem to work.
I plugged my PS4 in HDMI2. Enabled HDMI CEC support. Same on the TV.
Turned everything off.
Turned PS4 On using it's joystick. TV stays off.
------
Also tryd turning everything off. Turning TV on. Select Input HDMI2 and the PS4 doesnt turn on.
Both devices used to work PERFECTLY my Sony with the features mentioned.
So, I ask on any advice on this matter.
The new TV seems nice enough but with all this issues it feels quite... "incomplete". Like a "demo" version.
I dont know what to think.
I am really considering returning it unless I can find the solution to this problems.
Thank you for reading and your advices.
Ofesad.
Same problem on tcl 55c735 and apple tv 4k . Cec don’t turn on tv but turn off . Same problem with 50c735 too. Tv bought in France. Try reinstalling on the 50c735 adviced by TCL and do nothing. Worked with my old Samsung TV. I tried other input and and another hdmi cable and don’t work
This is the recommended power up sequence to reduce and solve any handshake issues...
1. Power-off all equipment (At the wall socket).
2. Ensure all Cables, Splitters, Switches, Extenders are connected within the HDMI Distribution Network.
3. Power on all Splitters, Switches, Extenders within HDMI Distribution Network.
4. Power on all displays and set to HDMI input from HDMI Distribution Network (Source device need to be able to contact display to retrieve EDID information)
5. Power on Sources / Players. Ensure that a path is open from source to display for HDCP handshake negotiation by selecting the proper input on HDMI Switches or HDMI switch/splitter combo’s via the remote control (Sources negotiates HDCP Handshake via HDMI Network to displays which is set to HDMI input to respond to handshake).
Some displays will negotiate HDCP handshake / timing better if the source are already powered on and you may need to change points 3,4,5 above to 4,3,5 or 4,5,3 depending on your equipment.
