[Q] HDMI MHL adapter won't show Netflix full screen on TV

I've done a lot of searches and found a lot of people have the same problem, but I haven't been able to find a fix. I just got the MHL adapter, YouTube works great, the phone in landscape works great, but when I open Netflix and try to watch a movie, the sides of the screen get cut off like I'm trying to watch a normal standard definition channel or something. Is there any work around to make it show in widescreen on the tv? I mean, it shows in widescreen on the phone, why doesn't it on the tv?

It does it on both the stock4.0.4 and cm9. Its not the rotation that's the problem, it rotates fine, Netflix is just isn't showing up as widescreen on the TV.

Yeah, I'm finding a lot of people with mhl not working, I'm not finding any solutions on Netflix not showing up as widescreen. If I'm missing something and I'm completely retarded, I'm sorry, but if you have a link to the solution, that would be awesome.

Um are u sure your adapter is working

Everything else is working fine. YouTube comes in widescreen , the phone in landscape comes in widescreen. When you're waiting for the movie to play, the big red screen that says netflix is widescreen . It's just the movie that ends up not widescreen. Like I said, I've seen lots of people with the same problem, I just haven't been able to find a solution.

Hi, I have been looking for a possible solution for this issue as well. Actually, prior to ICS, I was getting full wide screen with mhl-hdmi out (to TV) with netflix. I have always thought the netflix upgrade messed up the output, but now I'm starting to think it may be related to the upgraded ROM.
Actually, I believe the issue is that we are not getting a mirror of the screen because subtitles also don't show up on the TV.
I'm now on JB, the issue persists.

I have the sane problem running Netflix on galaxy smartdock with note 2, everything runs fullscreen except Netflix its super annoying just got newest update, no change, frustrating

Well... I was looking for this issue before I got the mhl because One description of mhl-adaptor says there was a license Problem with netflix... will give Update when it was delivered.

So it appears the N4 isn't compatible with these apps, any way around it?

Can't comment on hulu, but the Netflix play button issue is something that has been reported by many on the google play store across a number of devices. As previously mentioned, clearing the app data works, at least temporarily. I've had to do this twice since I got my device. This is on stock rom.

Working on Paranoid Android for me.

Calling Developers to make app

Mirroring app for chrome cast. Is there anybody working on this. How great would it be to launch the app on your phone and be able to mirror your phones screen to any tv or monitor with HDMI.

Thanks bro! I hadn't tried it yet. Worked for me using an older version of the app I had on my phone. Installed it, changed the settings and money. Tethered my IPad Air earlier.

I just tried this app with your settings but it didn't work for me. I get "tethering started with errors " and devices won't even show my ssid
Edit: I tried an invalid ssid, so it "works" but it won't connect to anything and still won't show my ssid when i try to tether anything.

I had to turn encryption off before it would work, I'm going to make sure it works, but when I tapped on it, it started and didn't give me the "started with errors" dialogue. It showed the Download and Upload counters, and I'm looking now to see if my tablet can access internet.
