HDMI out question

What exactly can I play with HDMI out? I have some .avi movies that I use arcMedia to play. If I just connect my HDMI and play it will it show up on my tv? Or does it have to be a specific format to play?

As of now, the only things you can output are gallery pictures (slideshow mode only), youtube, and any videos the stock app will play. so your avi's most likely wont play over hdmi.

Does anyone know if you can use the slingplayer app with the hdmi output?

Is anyone working on a fix for this?

Is it just me or did it seem like in the Sense2 'preview' given at the HTC show that someone linked earlier today HTC claimed you could use your TV as a screen for your phone? I believe the quote was something along the lines of, 'what shows up on your phone, shows up on the tv'. They didn't go into any further details, and they were talking about watching videos when they said it. However, if true video out capabilities are included in Sense2, that would be pretty bad ass. Something to keep an eye out for when it finally hits!

You can steam movies from this site (iphonemoviez.net/blog/) and use hdmi to watch on tv (wouldn't let me post full link but I'm sure you guys get it)

I don't think its full ui out yet.. Just wireless streaming of vid and pix...
I wonder though what they using to stream to the tv from the phone.. As well as what requirements the tv needs..

Thank you for this! I did not know this. Lotsa good stuff for my 2 year old here.

I know Cyanogen was working on full hdmi out awhile back.

That works too, thanks. Still wasn't to see that full HDMI developed though.

I use SPB TV app from android market. It is able to stream live ~100 inet channels to HDMI. Reviews are mixed though. And it costs 10 backs for android while free for iPhone, WTF. Not that it worth to pay for given so-so quality and the channel selection could have been better.

You can do it wirelessly, but you might get some lag(not good for games) using the Allshare Cast Dongle. Otherwise you might look at doing MHL to HDMI and using a PS3/Xbox controller. Not sure of the specifics, but here is a great video explaining all different ways.

Allshare Cast and Multiview: Must Read!

*Allshare Cast and Multiview: Must Read!People, I have fallen in love once again with this phone. I have had it since early November. I am a huge streamer of movies from my phone. I use the wireless Allshare Wireless Hub. Today I got curious and wondered what would happen if I streamed video from my phone and while watching use the multiview feature to see what would happen. And what happened made me the proudest owner of this smartphone ever. The video stayed in full screen people! On the tv! But still allowed me to go to other apps as if I was just letting it play fullscreen video! I know u can tell I'm excited. But this is absolutely amazing and it does it without a hiccup. I'm actually streaming a movie to my big screen from my Note 2 while I write this post at the same time, all from my Note. Samsung is the ish!*Let me know if this is something u all already knew. Am I late to the party?

Wow. Good to know this works. Are you streaming a movie you downloaded onto the phone or you are streaming a movie from say Netflix?

That's a good question, I was using the native video player, but I just tried Netflix and it also does the same thing for Netflix. One word...Awesome! But it's weird. When I'm watching Netflix in multi view and I go to the other window, Netflix pauses. Annoying. Guess its not optimized for multi view. I'm rooted with stock and I have the Xposed tweak for all apps in multi view.

Yea, I found this out last week. Only works with videos directly on the phone. Hasn't worked with netflix, hulu, or hbo go as they pause and stop streaming. I was pretty impressed too, hopefully this improves.

Yes, you are late to the party by 2 months. But enjoy !

I don't see how I could be that late. For one thing we just got the multi view update without having to root. I was rooted with Jedi 7.2, I couldn't even get my Allshare cast hub to work then because of the stupid counter. So once the update finally came out I went back to stock using the injected root method, reset my counter with Triangle, and then installed the Xposed tweak. Unless you've had the international version I don't see how I could be that late.

You lucky T-mobile users. The AT&T version disables simultaneous use of multi window and allshare cast. I hope someone can pinpoint the difference. This is a feature I really wanted in my phone

Thank God I left AT&T for the $30 T-Mobile plan. They really are the devil.

Are you guys streaming 1080p content without problems through Allshare?

I stream 1080p no problem.

By the way MHL also works like that. I found out yesterday when watching Youtube and using multiwindow that Youtube stayed full screen and I could actually minimize it to just a tiny sliver on the bottom and use the rest of the screen to do whatever else I wanted on multiscreen. I was just as pumped as you were! My girlfriend was over at the time and I described it to her as a "Geekgasm!" lol :victory:

My allshare cast sucked. Dropped frames, had to resync everytime you wanted to connect a new samsung mobile device. Just to sync, it would take 20 tries. Very painful experience. Ill stick to using dlna through my sammy bd player. Works perfect every time.

I am streaming videos, youtube and all online videos from note 2 to my laptop/TV using iMediaShare. Watching streamed videos from phone on TV/laptop screen and simulataneously operating phone as normal including multiview.

I thought the all share dongle only works with stock.. cause mine wouldn't connect unless I was on stock.. and when I went to tv links on line and tried to watch tv the voices would lag... the dongle sucks.. I got the note 2 smart dock.. it has a hdmi slot and usb ports for a cordless mouse.. it's way better...

Need help!
Hi everyone!
I've been an iphone user and finally made the big switch with the Galaxy Note 2 because of the multi view feature and the screen recording mode feature (which apparently never ended up working).
I have a stock (4.1.2) Unlocked international version n7100 Galaxy Note 2 that I've been using with an allshare cast hub. The video is a little glitchy but for the most part works great. I came to this thread by doing a google search on multiview with allshare cast.
I really want to be able to use multi view while I'm connected to allshare cast hub and streaming videos. This feature doesn't seem to work on my phone. Do I have to have my phone rooted to do this? I've never done a custom rom or rooted my phone before and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. Do you just hold the back button during a video to bring up multiview like you would when not connected to allshare cast?
Also, has anyone figured out how to watch netflix while using multiview yet without having it pause video? I'd like to get all of my apps working in multiview and from what I've read so far the only way to do that is by rooting phone, correct?

One of my proudest moments with my Note. I feel you man. It's a great feeling what this phone can do.

I am Stock Rooted, only so that I could download and use Xposed for the xMulti Window Mod to use all my apps in the multi window. I have noticed the Netflix bug with the movie pausing when you try to use Multiview. I have found that if you start using multiview before you click on the movie to watch it will no longer pause. What I do is I open netflix and then use multiview to bring in another app on screen and then I play the movie. Works everytime. And it works like it should without pausing. And you are able to change apps as normal. But i would def. recommend getting the Multi Window Mod so that you can experience the Multiview the way it should have been out the box. I don't know why they didn't allow all apps out the gate. The only apps that I have trouble with in multiview is TMZ and Flipboard. Otherwise I am a multiview crackhead.
Hope this helps!

[Q] AllShare Cast

Hi,
I have a Galaxy Grand and a Samsung T.V ( f5500). The TV supports screen mirroring but my phone doesn't I.e. if I go to more settings there is no option for Allshare cast. Since having a galaxy phone is there some type of custom ROM or any way which will help me in screen mirroring ? Because my phone has features similar to S3 like best face, smart stay etc. Any sort of hack or application?

Nope Its Not Supported !

AllShare App is presently called has Samsung Link I guess and the feature u r talking abt is not there in this But u can use chromecast device to do this but it needs HIGH SPEED INTERNET Wifi..

The chrome cast uses DLNA (so shouldn't it be fast?)? And secondly, how fast internet connection do I require. On thing I have heard is that Google doesn't officially support screen mirroring, somebody modified it to do so. So would it be reliable?
Thanks anyways for replying me.

Lollipop upgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../rom-cm-12-1-galaxy-grand-duos-i9082-t3073108
Just upgrade Galaxy Grand lollipop (cm12). Then you can get Cast Screen option in notification pannel. Turn on your WiFi and TV's WiFi and WiFi direct but don't connect anywhere. after that go to notification pannel touch and hold Cast Screen option , enable Show wireless screen. You can see your TV name at there. Just tap that name. Now you can enjoy Screen mirroring.

hi
i have samsung galaxy grand phone but i change android version glade 5.1. while i m do the screen mirroring with my tv but sound is not come. please give me idea....

Full Screen Mirroring and Quality

Hi there I've got my hands on that beast but 2 things bother me while mirroring stuff via WiFi/Bluetooth .
So I'm playing a game on my phone I'm using Miracast on my TV to cast it to the TV screen but the game doesn't launch in full screen it's more like middle of the screen with up and down having black border.
Also quality of mirroring is idk 720p maybe? Any ideas if that's just the way it should be or there's a way around that? I don't really have a pc to adjust anything with the software so any solution would be nice unless there's none. Btw I turned on in settings for games or apps to run in full screen they just don't.

In apps like YouTube, if you click Full-Screen button the image changes from portrait (with black side bars) to landscape.
Check if Ithere is a setting available to force your game app to run "full-screen"?
I agree with you, even full-scree landscape, the picture quality doesnt look like HQ resolution to me.
