Does anyone know if it's possible to change the resolution the note 2 Smart dock outputs over the HDMI port?
My 1680x1050 (native) monitor is being driven at 720x480 by the dock which seems unusually low to me.
The monitor isn't capable of 1080 but surely there is a step between 480 and 1080????
Update: I've now got a Dell P2311H monitor which is 1920x1080 native and I STILL can not get anything more than 480p out of the smart dock
Probably best asking here:

Hi guys,
I have some question for MHL specialists please.
I'd like to connect SG S2 to my car's (Acura MDX 09) navigation screen using MHL USB to VGA adapter (like this one http://www.amazon.com/iKross-micro-...ectronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326098625&sr=1-2-fkmr0).
As far as I know, my car's native Screen resolution is 800x480, 15hz, RGB+S. The question is - will this setup work ? Is it possible to adjust output resolution and refresh rate on S2 so that it will output correct image to my navigation screen ?
Thanks in advance.

you can't change refresh rate or resolution on the phone, but the screen in your dash can most likely scale it.
Did anybody tested this? Is it working but not asking for HDMI (this should work), asking for VGA output..
thanks for answer..

Does anyone know of a trick or method to change or force a given resolution for the display output via MHL?
I ask this because it appears to default to the highest resolution available on a given monitor, but 1080p is gimped at 30Hz, which is extremely bad. If I can force the adapter to display at 720p 60Hz at all time then that would be awesome!
I originally have a Note 8.0 but also use a friend's note 2 sometimes for giving video out to a Projector. So, I use an MHL to VGA Converter and a 5pin to 11 pin adapter.
The problem is that both the devices randomly pick a resolution everytime I connect it to the projector. Sometimes 720p, sometimes 4:3 VGA. I just want to fix on a resolution. VGA only rarely comes up, but I actually want it because the projector is natively 4:3 and fills up the screen better with it.
Is there anyway I can select the VGA resolution permanently? Like selecting a resolution in Windows?
I found a libhdmi.so file on the Note 8.0 which contains all the info. About resolution, it has everything from 640x480 to 1080p modes. Is there anyway, I could modify it to get the same resolution all the time?

I have a nice 1080p projector I'd love to drive with the Nexus 7 over Slimport. Performance is great, but the picture has letterboxing on the left and right due to the 16:10 aspect ratio of the tablet. Is there any way to get the Nexus 7 to output only the top 1920x1080 (ignoring the permanent soft button bar)?

Yes, there are ways. Unfortunately none of them's easy. One way is to change the screen resolution but that requires root. The other way is to add support for external display in a video player app. As of 4.2 app developers are able to detect and handle mutliple displays at once. So it's for instance possible to detect that external display is attached, discover what resolution it supports and output video to the external display at a native resolution. I am quite surprised that the native video player does not support that. It shoud work by default that way.

Could you please tell me which slimport cabel you are using? is it SP10002? I am struggling to get a perfect one
I've recently bought myself a slimport adapter so I can hook my g pad up to a TV (1920x1080).
The g pad appears to downscale its native resolution of 1920x1200 to the resolution it outputs over hdmi (in my case, I'm outputting 1920x1080).
As I'm displaying movies on my g pad's screen @ 1:1 aspect ratio, this downscaling from 16:10 to 16:9 obviously leads to distortion.
To remedy this, I'm using "wm size $resolution" to change the g pad's resolution to 1080x1920.
The problem I'm having is that the window manager is doing some stupid stuff with the virtual softkeys in landscape mode at this custom resolution.
See screenshot here:
@ default 1920x1200
@ 1920x1080
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?
How do people successfully use the g pad's slimport to hdmi functionality when the TV is a different aspect ratio to the device?
I'm still stuck on this; is this a flaw with the stock rom for which there's no known solution?

You have to change dpi settings too. Can see instructions here or use Resolution Changer Pro from Play Store.
