Hi,
I have an Optimus G with a broken digitizer. I have a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse paired with it. I've got it hooked up to a 1080p screen via MHL HDMI. Everything works great... except one problem: the output resolution is 1280x720.
Now, this should be set at kernel / boot time. I'm wondering: is there a way for me to set (or perhaps recompile the kernel) to force 1920x1080? I don't mind if the phone's screen no longer works, as long as the output to the TV is full HD.

I am considering buying an MHL cable for my SGS2. However, I would like to know what resolution can the phone display on a full-HD monitor or TV?
I have read in reviews that it can output full 1080p when watching videos. But what about using apps (like some office apps, browser) or playing games? Will it run on full HD or on the phone's native 800x480 resolution? What about rotation, will everything work in landscape on the monitor?
This could be a great portable computer (used with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse) if it is able to run apps on the monitor's native resolution. So, what is your experience?
Hi, I have the cable and yes, it is like you said. On movies it will output full 1080 and in application it will use the 480.
Regarding the rotation yes everything can be in landscape depending on the phone position, at least from what I've tried.
This was my idea to, that it could be a portable computer, but ...no.
The resolution, I think, makes me not to use it. In our days we are used to big resolution and in 480 you will be claustrophobic.
And you need the power adapter around you all the time. The cable needs to be powered. It can be powered from the USB on your TV.
I wanted to use the dock with the cable and a bt keyboard/mouse. But the original dock doesn't know data transfer so it can't be used with the cable. The mouse configuration was changed from 2.3 to 4.0 and for me is not practical anymore. You still have to use the phone, for example the back key.
And if I remember well I think when you want to type, the on screen keyboard will appear even if you use the bt one. And in 480 this is half of the screen.
This is my experience.

Hi,
I was given a MediaLink HD. I tried to set it up, I'd configured it propery (and it was detected on the phone) but on the TV screen I wasn't able to see anything (yet HDMI control feature on my TV detected it as a "player"). I have a Sony Bravia KDL-40D3550. I've checked the specs, and it appears to support only 24fps on HDMI.
According to the specs on HTC's official accessory store, it outputs 1080p 30fps. Is this what causes that I can't see anything? Is there any kind of adapter to convert the signal to 24fps?
Thanks!

Hey, did you ever get this working? I'm having the same issue. Thanks.
Hi everyone, I bought today a 11pin usb to hdmi which work perfectly (still the bothering screen mirroring but I guess I have to deal with that) my question is if there's a way to change the resolution or something ? Most games I tried was kinda slower and out of sync and also with some strange vsync problems (image cut). Just wonder if there's a program or a script to enable lower resolution to make the work smoother or maybe a soft to put ALL the display to the Hdmi to avoid the mirroring ????
Thanks !
Hello,
Today I got my Samsung Smart Dock which is working as supposed with my Note 3. My issue is that in a TV, it will display correctly at the TV native resolution, but in my monitor (I-INC iP221) it will display as 640x480 60Hz. The monitor is capable of displaying at 1080p since I use it with my PC. I would like to know if there is a way I can force 1080p to the monitor. I would like to use my Note 3 as a Desktop Replacement for office things, web browsing and media playback.
I have tried several HDMI to DVI adapters I have and I also used an HDMI to DVI cable I also own and it still displays at 640x480 resolution...
My Note 3 is stock ROM and is rooted.
Thanks for all the help you guys can offer.
I already tried using the command
echo U:1920x1080p-2 > /sys/class/graphics/fb1/mode
the modes file shows:
U:640x480p-0
U:1920x1080p-2
but the 1920x1080p-2 mode only keeps the screen black until I disconnect and connect the monitor again where it defaults to 640x480 mode
Hello I have the same issue with galaxy s3 and s4 when i connect to my hdtv directly to hdmi I get 1080P. But when I use my hdmi to dvi adapter I only get 480p. Have you found a solution?
Hello,
I recently bought a Slimport to HDMI cable and an HDMI to VGA converter from Amazon hoping to be able to use it on any monitor available at home and office. Slimport HDMI obviously work out of the box however using the HDMI to VGA converter didn't. Finally after I almost exhausted my googliness, I was able to make it work by simply connecting the Slimport to an external power. But there's still a remaining problem, it always outputs 1080p and therefore I can't use it on old monitors that only supports 720p. I tried several resolution changer apps but it only changes the resolution of the screen but not what is outputted on the monitor. Does anyone here know if it's possible or the apps I tried doesn't work as what it should on my Nexus 7?
I've tried it on multiple monitors already but the output is still 1920x1080. The displayed picture is the only thing that changes.
