[Q] HDMI connection and TV Launcher - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a mod that enables use of hdmi and tv launcher WITHOUT having the phone screen on?
Wondering because the hdmi of arc supports cec. Therefore i dont need to use the phone screen when connected to tv, and want to turn the screen of, using the tv as primary screen.

MHL display question

Hello-
I am interested in hooking up my SGS2 to my car display for nav etc. Here is my question: Does the MHL output on the SGS2 automatically force the display to landscape mode regardless of the phone's orientation? In other words does the phone's display stay in portrait and the MHL display go to landscape?
Thanks

From what I've seen, no it doesnt. Look up on YouTube that's where I've seen it.

Only videos go in landscape, but you could down load rotation control app and set it to what you like

I don't remember which Rom I was using but the tv output followed my phones orientation. Except video which forced landscape only.

[Q] Wrong HDMI "resolution" on any tv/monitor I tried!

Hello.
I am using a genuine Samsung HDMI adapter and for some reason I am unable to get a correct "screen resolution". The same happens with my Note1. The image is too big for the screen and the top/bottom parts are always cut. I have tried this in over 8 different monitors/tvs. I am running a stock international rom port. Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Maybe change ur tv resolution from aspect ratio to widescreen or full or ?

Might try different hdmi csbles, if you haven't already. And what mode is it in when you see the screen cutoff ? Ie 1080i instead of 1080p?

The 1080i and 1080p wouldn't make a difference. It only changes the way the image is refreshed on the screen. 1080p is clearer but would not make bars or screw with resolution. The resolution is still 1920x1080 on both.

Xperia S Media Center

Hi there.
I am going to make a media center runned from my xperia s.
And I am going to make a stand for it.
My plan is this:
HDMI cable to flatscreen
Audio from 3,5 jack to my amplifier and therefore my speakers.
I just flashed custom rom (XTZexperience 2) wich allows navigation bar because it is gonna be controlled with my mouse and keyboard.
Emulators etc. will be installed and controlled with DualShock 3.
Followings are still question marks:
Wich is best way to connect bluetooth keyboard and mouse? USB or is it possible to connect them straigt to phone without any bluetooth receivers plugged to USB because if so how I can charge at the same time?
And will any bluetooth keyboard and mouse do?
And is it possible that clicking them wakes and unlocks the screen?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english.
Will update soon!

You need a dock to connect keyboard and mouse in the same time.

Phone won't give you so much voltage as dock. But if you want to connect it with bt you also need dock to recognize your keyboard, mouse and HDMI in the same time.

How do you want connect keyboard and mouse without bt modem which was given with keyboard and mouse. You can't just connect keyboard and mouse to phone. Phone isn't Windows and it need BT modem which was given with keyboard and mouse.
Sent from my LT26i using xda developers-app
Yes you can connect them without because some mouses and keyboards are built to not have receiver.

You can use your hdmi out port connected straight to your receiver with hdmi cable so that you get HD video and multichannel audio (with new JB update it finally works), 3.5mm audio jack is waste of cable space.....

Since you already have a few answers for apps to try out, let me offer the knowledge that the S3 MHL adapter works with the Note 2, I use it all the time.
