I have an ion and a motorola atrix lapdock and since the ion has micro hdmi and usb i thought it would work with the lapdock. I had to disassemble the lapdock's cradle and have the wires hanging freely for it to work. I was wondering if anyone else has tried it and noticed no sound through the hdmi and video playback stuttering unless headphone or external speakers are plugged in to the ion. If your gonna point me to thread about the lapdock and the xperia S I read through it a couple times and found no mention. Any help would be or ideas would be appreciated.
I did the same like week and a half ago. Looks like ion don't have drivers for Lapdock USB Speakers. And when I tried to run any HD movie or youtube ion freezed. And when lapdock screen on - Ion not charging, charge only when lid is closed. So I don't see any point to use it because resolution on the lapdock screen sucks .

Hello guys,
I just found this dock with speaker from Philips and want to know if someone has any experience with it and could post a pic with the Arc in there and his impressions.

Its way too expensive i suggest u to buy logitech z110 speakers they are laptop speakers but they also work on the xperia arc s i tried them and they work just fine and u plug the 3.5mm jack in phone's jack and u haveto buy micro to normal usb connector so u can plug them .On mine arc s they play around 2h and they should be around 10 15 euros MAX and the quality is awesome
of course, your logitech are much cheaper. But: can your logitech wake you up at morning or show you the actually time?
Why do they need to do that when the phone already shows that stuff Speakers are about the quality of the sound not fancy wake up things
So I got an HDMI cable today for the device and I am pretty disappointed. I plugged it in and it only detected the device as displaying 720p. Adding to this, the sides were cut off. Another issue I've been having is that whenever I move the device, the picture would disappear, but that might be an issue of the cable itself.
Anyone have any experience with the HDMI out and if I can get it working correctly? I am running the first ICS leak on the device currently.
Also, I've read that some people were able to get 1080p out of this?
Its either the cord, tv, or the port. I know on my TV there was an issue where the video was 1080i/p (I forget which), but the audio didn't play, plugged it into a different port, and the problem was solved. This was on a samsung TV and results may very. If you can, try a different port, then a new cord, finally try it on another hdmi device and see if it works, if the problem continues, then just replace the tab.
God, I sound just like a support person, "Results may very," lawl.
Tried it on my Sony TV and my Samsung Moniter with the same results. I've managed to get a slightly better picture after messing around with the settings on the Samsung. Still not satisfied with the end results.
I feel I need to try connecting this to a scan converter or something just to see what the device is actually sending and stuff.
Hmmmm, I'm not the only one. My tablet worked find on my projector but now it doesn't even know when it is connected to it. Hooking it up to the 47 inch Samsung works without a hitch. I'm going to order the docking station and see if it makes a difference.

Both ics and hc hardware GEN2 I have sides cut off. I've tried different modes on my TV without much success. I think ti interlacing is off somehow.

Picked up an HDMI cable for the a100 off ebay for $5 with free shipping. 10ft with gold plated terminals and it has worked perfectly since day one. I hate how you can't turn the tablet screen off while streaming video :-\ other than that its a treat to have it displayed on our 50" Samsung and the quality is quite decent running the latest ICS leak.
I've tried 2 hdmi cables on 2 different TV's and only get 720p signal and the bottom taskbar is cut off and a bit on the top and maybe sides. I know for a fact that these cables support 1080p. But HDMI is just mirroring so it will mirror at the same resolution as the tab or as close as it can. And our tab is 1280x800 so it won't mirror in 1080p

OK I just got my adapter it is the official Samsung OEM MHL adapter. I had just one problem but I now have three.
Problem #1: I am not sure if its possible or how to go about doing this. OK I use a nice 27" HP 2711x LED Monitor on my bedroom with my Xbox 360 connected via VGA, my gaming rig connected via HDMI, and now I have my MHL adapter connected via HDMI. The problem is that my Monitor is only a monitor and it has no internal speakers, but I have a pair of external speakers that I use for sound the speakers have 3 input options. I can connect directly into the subwoofer portion via the red and white RCA cables(this is how my Xbox is connected), I can connect with my basic 3.5mm auxiliary cable plugged into the speakers input jack(this is the way that I connect my phone to play music), or I can connect via the inline Auxiliary cable that the speakers have built in(which is the way my computer is connected). Im not an idiot when it comes to Tech I know that HDMI cables handle both sound and video but since my monitor only takes the video part I can't get any audio when streaming from my phone to it, so I plugged my speakers inline auxiliary cable to my phone so that the sound would reroute to it, but that didn't work either it produced no sound =/, so I also tried to just plug in my headphones into my phone and again no sound. So are there any work arounds or ways to make it so my phone will let me output sound via its 3.5mm headphone jack or even its loud speaker? Or is there a seperate cable/jack I can purchase to split the HDMI cables video and sound, and make the sound output via either 3.5mm audio jack or red and white RCA cables, and let the video output via HDMI?
Problem #2: OK my MHL adapter was working video wise but today I plugged it all up and it wouldn't work at all my monitor kept saying no input detected so I was sad and I decided to remove my phones battery to do a soft reset. And it fixed the problem so I started web browsing etc and all of a sudden it stopped working again. Is there a work around for this or reason or fix?
Problem #3: Is there anyway to make the output quality full HD? Because when I am outputting and on the browser its like the resolution is so off which results in everything being huge and somewhat pixelated.
Sorry for the length I like for my post to be as in depth as possible.

I'll try to answer your questions to the best of my abilities, as I have a MHL adapter
1) The only way to get sound out of your phone while it is connected to MHL is to plug something into the headphone jack of your phone. Hook up your MHL adapter first, make sure it is showing video on the monitor, then plug in one of these bad boys to your phone - http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...d=1021809&p_id=5604&seq=1&format=1#largeimage and connect the RCA ends to your audio system.
2) Try swapping out your charger to see if that helps. Also, make sure you are using an official charger. I had an el-cheapo chinese charger that made my MHL flicker every now and again and when I used the official charger that came with the phone the problem went away
3) There's no way to change the resolution as far as I can tell / see. Are you on a stock ROM? If no, try to flash the stock rom temporarily and see if this fixes the problem you're having. I always get 1080p (or that's what my TV says) when I hook up my phone to my TV and monitor.
Hi,
I have tested Z1C with both Miracast dongle and MHL cable.
MHL cable is so called 5 PIN cable. The same one that works with Galaxy S2 and HTC One X.
MHL Cable works just fine.
I have also tested Miracast dongle (iPazzport). It connects slowly in Miracast mode. Screen and sound gets transferred to TV very slowly. It is basically unusable. The same dongle works just fine with Asus HD7 tablet.
DLNA mode is not usable either for video. At least not for HD content. It can be used for sound transfer. But it has minor problems also with sound only connections. I have tested with the same iPazzport HDMI dongle and WD HDTV Live box.
Please share your experience.

There is definitely some lag with MHL. I can only express my gut feeling. 50-100 ms, I guess. Is there any good way to measure it?
I am using this adapter:
www.ebay.com/itm/310855110310
I ordered http://www.amazon.com/Decrescent-Adapter-Samsung-Galaxy-Smartphones/dp/B00I5J6WVY
but it will take 2 weeks more to come.
I plan to order the PS3 controller too for gaming on screen, but not sure how it will be with the lag. also not sure if these cheap ps3 controllers will work or i need the original ps3 controller. for wireless of course, not planing to use wired controllers. maybe xbox wireless can work too. testing to come.
For measuring it, the best method is to start the stopwatch and record the TV and the phone's screen with some point and shoot camera, just stop the video later after 10 seconds for example and see the difference between the times.
at least thats what i read around the net ..
MHL lag.
First, tested using timer app in phone. Took pictures containing both mobile and plasma screen.
Out of 13 shots:
0.1 s delay - 9 times
0.2 s delay - 2 times
All the rest, 1 shot had 0.1-0.3 s delay (between TV frames), another had 0 - 0.2 s delay (between TV frames again).
Second test.Used http://vimeo.com/12505989 test video.
My laptop (connected through display port->HDMI) was 100% in sync. Z1C was 2-3 frames late (on 24 fps video).
I would say, it is about 120 ms delay. And it is huge for a cable connection IMHO.
Shame, Sony, shame!!!
My other phone Galaxy S Advance did much better job with DLNA sharing.
Which means that there must be a problem with WiFi (either HW or SW).
I am really disappointed. Way too many problems with a device that was meant to be almost a flagship. I wonder if all those problems also exist with Z1 older brother as well. Or did Sony cut some corners again...
Anyone who could explain why it's necessary to switch wifi off then on again when you activate media sharing (DLNA)?
Say you sit at home, your wifi is on ofc and you like to send a pic or a track to your AVR or TV, then why does it say "please turn on wifi" when you activate media sharing...
