SGS2 MHL TV-Out

Hey guys..
Here is a Demo video of MHL TV-Out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFG4S7g0_Ls (Credits to GSMArena)
Some additional info here too: http://blog.gsmarena.com/watch-sams...o-hdtv-through-its-mhl-port-video/#more-13930
Turns out its a sucess in my opinion. The only thing is that the cable is not included.
I want to know if u guys are getting one and on which website/prices.

Definitely getting one but most sites like Expansys, Clove etc say early June for getting stock.

Is the output signal upscaled?

Wish they would have tested a 1080P source...

I thought the Lady Gaga video at the beginning was 1080p...

It was, or at least its file name indicated that (they should have brought up the media details while it was playing to show that).
I was quite tickled to have beaten them to demo'ing USB OTG!
(I wonder if they are the one person to dislike my video so far?!)

Shame it only works when the power is connected
Kinda removes alot of the wow factor when you have to plug in all the cables to make it work.

We need a power cable ?
So stupid, is it confirmed ? No way to use MHL without power ?

I htink you can if the TV supports that, otherwise you need to power the sucker up.

I think video output is limited to 800x480 regardless of video source because it's display mirroring, it does not switch off the lcd when playing video. That's my opinion.

You only need the power cable if you want to charge the phone while it's connected. The HDMI output will work regardless.

Are you sure about this?
Would be very bad..
If it was so, we can't experience full HD movies?! or it just rearranges screen after playback the movie?
Would like to know that..

According to the article, the display won't work without being plugged in:
It took us a few minute to get the thing going – it turns out, the adapter won’t work unless you connect a charger too. After that, the content on the screen is automatically mirrored on the HDTV.

I'm completely confused!
Are we saying that if you want to connect the phone to a tv in order to play a video, you MUST have either (a) an MHL-capable tv or (b) the charger also plugged in?
If so, that's completely ridiculous. Who the hell wants to carry their charger all the time?
If only someone could confirm this. Except none of us have the damn cable!
I'm seriously reconsidering this phone. What with the complaints about the audio, the complaints about the GPS, and now this.

In the MHL consortium video from MWC it shows the display on the phone turning off on video playback (with onscreen media controls showing). For video I am quite sure its output is 1080p (Samsung have an official walkthrough video on youtube today which specifically states this also).

Yeah, I think It's 1080p too. What tv does even support 800x480 resolution? Ofcourse its upscaled somehow. And what idea would it be to support playing full hd if you can't see that its hd?

Personally I'd rather have the option for both, but having to require the charger being plugged in seems to be the lesser of two evils. At least this way you can have the phone continually on if you're using it for extended periods of time on a large screen.

Has anyone tried whether you get TV Out using the 3.5mm jack? I know the quality wont be as good but just want to know.

Tv out plus Sky Go
This works perfect i use it to watch sky go on my tv my parents have sky tv so i put sky go on my phone and plug it in and away i go. No subs for me lol its just a pain when people try to ring or i get a text.

HDMI out full screen

This is really annoying. You can play a video using HDMI out to a TV and it plays full screen, as long as it is from Google movies. However if you try and play a video of your own it isn't full screen. It is missing about 3cm each side. I can't work out why or how to change it as it has the ability to. Any ideas?
Thanks

Does it downscale the image to 1080p when you are in the UI? If not it might be that whatever app you are using is not yet set up for the N10.

Yeah it cuts the side bits off. Only time you get full screen is via Google movie store

Right, that's really odd. Wonder why they wouldn't have system-wide downscaling?

Here we go... Let's see if this actually better than the Infinity. I returned it just to buy this. I use HDMI out a lot...

Let me know if you have any luck outputting full screen

Yup. Huge bars on the side and can't get rid of the bottom bar like the tf700 can. I hope this is fixed. However, I messed with my bravia TV a little it is much better now. I'll post pics.

does audio work?

I'd also like to know.

I get sound, but both the sound and video stutter in Google play movies. Tried ice age and planet earth, both stuttered badly. Hoping this is just one of those things that will be fixed in an update.

I have had my Nexus 10 for about a week now and really like it. This YouTube issue is something that needs to be addressed. Ice Age plays full screen perfect 1080p smooth as silk. YouTube plays at lower quality in a black frame. It also plays on the tablet screen when plugged into HDMI to TV. Make the YouTube app perform like the Google Play app please

Any news on that?

I find that the youtube app won't go full screen when HDMI is plugged in, any solution?

I'm reading everywhere that ppl say it's not outputting fullscreen.
At the chance of being simply wrong: did you ever take into account that the usual TV with its 1080p resolution (1920x1080) has a 16:9 screen ratio but the tablet with its 2560x1600 resolution clearly has a 16:10 screen reatio.
So it simply does not match. If just mirroring what is seen on the tablet... it will always have those black bars on the TV screen.
Or am I just not understanding what everyone barks about?

The transformer it's also 16:10. It removes the bars and (no need for them on the TV) and voila. It also blanks the screen when watching videos. That's one area where the tramsformer is a lot better, but it's a simple fix. You know, I'm not picky but it really annoys ke that such a simple thing to fix has not been addressed. How can you test the HDMI and not notice that and at least give some basic options. That type of thing is inexcusable. Watch them never give us any options.

Thanked because I have the same issue. Anyone figured it out?

Movies
Is there anyone on 4.2.1 who can actually play Google play movies with hdmi out onto their TV?
Mine just stops at the "HDMI Screen" when I try to play the free ice age with a progress spinner in the middle, and other logs in logcat either that might explain the issue ( no logs at all). It's connected to my Samsung D8000 which is definitely HDCP compliant. I've never had it working. The film will play fine though when HDMI is not plugged in. It's really annoying cause I refuse to buy or rent films if I can't hook up to my TV.

I have no problem watching movies or TV shows with the Google Play Movies app, connected to a 46" Sharp TV. Audio & video are fine. There is the occasional stutter, but nothing too bad. I've only played shows off battery - I haven't tried it while charging yet, though I can't believe that would make a difference.

Just tried again on my TV and on my computer monitors, all are fully HDCP compliant. It's either the tablet or the cable cause it doesn't work with any of those screens, just stops at spinner on HDMI Screen every time.
Unfortunately I don't have another device or another cable to rule out which is not the cause.

[Q] Allshare Cast Hub, is it going to work with the S4?

Is this going to work with the S4? I saw a "Screen Mirroring" option on settings but I'm not sure if it's the same thing as Allshare Cast. Did Samsung change the name or is this a completely different feature?

Tested last night and works fine!
In fact with my rooted S4 it even works without having to use "Triangle Away" whereas on my S3 it would just bomb out.
But still only at 720p!
EDIT: and yes it is now called "Screen Mirroring"

It does output in 1080p for Galaxy S4. The resolution will be the same of the phone resolution.
If I were to use the dongle with my Galaxy S2 it would output to 480p on the TV.

No it does not! This thread is about the Wireless Cast Dongle, not the hdmi adapter. I have it in front of me now and the TV states the signal is 720p.

i did wonder when he said "the galaxy S2...." - the Galaxy S2 doesnt have widi and so no allsharecast. I'm going to log a call with samsung to find out why they are miss selling this, it appears to have no 1080p connectivity at all.

Here is my video showing Allshare cast on S4

Two questions
1.Does this feature work with the mobile connected directly to the WIFI network(Got a 2012 E8000 TV)? I bought an S4,and I`waiting for it to ship, but I didnt see anything about this dongle being sold with the phone.
2.Does this app allow for the screen mirror to go the opposite direction. Ie I want what the TV is showing, to be sent to the phone. Being in the kitche, or while taking a dump

I know the S2 doesn't have miracast support, that's why I said: "if I WERE to use it on my S2".
Regarding 1080p in this video the guy said it was outputting in Full HD on his TV, so I don't know for sure what's happening.
I ordered my dongle on Amazon and it should arrive in a few days so I can test it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Utb6tyW32HY

For those of you using the stock video app and allshare dongle - the default output in the video app is 720p. You can change this to 1080p in the settings

Are you referring to the wireless dongle? If so then, from memory, it does not matter what you set the output to in the video app the cast will still only output at 720p unless things have changed.

With you there! But even the 3S outputs at 1080p with the wired dongle so it is capable of doing it, just perhaps not over the air.

Hello there...
I bought the allshare cast hub a few days ago. The connection between the my Galaxy S4 and the hub works well, but it's a bit laggy. Now I've found an APP (AllShare Cast Hub APP), which allows to update the firmware from LF21 to LJ01. The problem is that this APP doesn't work with the Galaxy S4. It seems that it's only available for the S3.
How can I update the firmware without a S3?
Thanks...

[Q] Can OUYA work as a full-feature mediacenter?

I am interesting in OUYA because it has a slim body. I dont want to play video game on it. The only thing I want to do is to play movie. I have a lot of movies stored in my laptop. The current way that I use is to connect my laptop to HDTV by HDMI. Can OUYA replace my current method? I can play 720P movie(MKV or RMVB) on my cellphone(Galaxy note 2). Ouya has the same equipment(Tegra3 with 1.7G). So I think it can play 720P movie smoothly like my cellphone. Did anyone here try playing moive on OUYA?

Yes the ouya plays 720p movies well. I use xbmc at the time. I was thinking about the ouya or the raspberry pi and I am glad I bought the ouya. The ouya, for my use and purposes, is an awesome media center. The internal storage is small but it has a usb port. Xbmc has support for a network attached storage (nas) which is what I use. The ouya also has the added benefit of games. For only $99.99, I recommend the ouya for your current situation. It also has low power usage and it is highly portable.

if you want to use your ouya exclusively as mediacenter you can start xbmc with a autorun-app, don't know what it's called tho.
only culprit is that the button layout isnt quite optimal when using ouya controller but i'm using my cellphone with yatse installed and as a media-solution this couldn't be any better.
not only 720p but even 1080P movies (shared from my nas) are being played like a charm and if you*'e into 3D the ouya should be able to handle most formats, too...but didn't try that, since my tv doens't support it

i didn't have any issues with fullhd-mkvs yet. for all i know there are some culprits with surround sound, but didn't notice anything major up to now.
you can without any problem plug your sd card reader/usb-harddrive/etc to your ouya. the device will be mounted to /media/usb
if you want you could even use a dvd-drive for your ouya, as long as you are willing to compile the needed module for your kernel.
didn't try it yet, but atrix with tegra 2 was able to do this, so ouya with tegra 3 should be able, too

Will work fine. Look at getting a flirc device, so you can configure media centre remote to use with xbmc

Short answer: Better get an raspberry pi with Openelec.
Longer Answer:
yes, i do have 2 and did use one as mediaplayer using mostly XBMC (connected to a linux fileserver) at my home and using it with VLC when beeing at my girlfriends place with an 2TB HD.
Unluckily i really cant recommend it atm because the XBMC version for android/ouya is still lacking CEC support, means you cant use your TVs remote for controlling it and it cant do AC3 audio passthrough over HDMI (if i remember correctly). The XBMC for android still cant play a lot of movie files my Raspberry PI does play without problems. Therefore it makes a much better media player if its ok for one to not use the most fancy XBMC Skins. (I recommend Bello Skin)
In addition to this the Ouya lacks support for direct flashing and a lot of poeple find the companies politics highly questionable. The not acceptance of the last TOS locked my Ouya Console completely and not just the market. Its softbricked now. It has been sold as an "open" project but turns out to be as closed as "a nuns arse". Therefore its unluckily unlikely that we will see an Openelec port for the Ouya. Someone did port Debian to Ouya so there might be a solution using Debian and XBMC but AFAIK there are not all drivers and libs working atm.
¨
cheers,
Tycho

Dont mean to be rude but i dont think you are objektive here.
I dont know what files you are unable to play but i am using mine a lot for Multimedia and didnt have any issues with audio at all. I know that some special dts Formats are incompatible for now.
Surly there are some things about ouya that many of us don't like but that's not the point here. Some are codec support and cec which are still under construction and might always be, but seriously: raspberry?
I really wouldn't want to have such a laggy interface and long folder loading times.
If you really want sth fully compatible with all major Codecs and cec and so on get a finished product like little black box or sth similar. Else be happy to have sth. to tinker with.

Losing faith if I'm honest. I have been giving this project my backing because it seemed to have an enthusiastic following.
I'm not sure there is the focus on the issues that matter to ME, I'm not sure how many people wanted this little box specifically for XBMC but I suspect it was a few. I know the DTS/AC3 issue is an XBMC problem and nothing to do with OUYA but the several other little niggles that affect it are not being addressed.

I think I am going to sell it, I am done waiting for it.. the time multi audio is comming if it even is comming the ouya will be old. The lack of support and community is the other reason.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Ok what I experienced so far is this :
Normally I have my ouya plugged into my TV which is set up to pass aby audio signal through to my home cinema center via optical output. There I never had any issues up to now. Lately I had plugged the ouya into the TV of our bedroom and with xbmc I get audio issues as well.
But vlc and I guess plex as well are able to play ball those files without any issue.
So i guess it's also up to your setup which audio technologies are supported.

I use xbmc on ouya and I have dts and DD passthrough at least on my sony 5.1 home theater. It seems that it depend also from your home theater and/or TV as if you connect the ouya directly to TV and TV doesn't have audio pass through, it will work only analog 2 channel audio.

Good to see someone agreeing to my experiences.

Really? Xbmc on ouya can decode DTS and output 5.1 channels to home theater? I saw a lot of people complained of decoding DTS failure. Be honest, I am frustrated when I saw these comments, because I just ordered one from Amazon and I have a lot of 720P DTS MKV movies. My original thoughts is that connecting ouya to 5.1 home theater. I did saw ouya can output 2.0 or 5.1 surround sound effects on their website. Hoping XBMC V13 could be more perfect.

For some ppl it is working indeed, by switching of amp and turn it on again.
But not for everyone... When I try it I just get same static noise as before...
I never had 5.1 working whatever I tried.
Tried several options in xbmc but it would not change anything

Ouya can decode DTS mkv, I just tested it and my home theater received a PCM audio stream (analog settings on xbmc audio output) and then tested the same mkv with digital signal pass through to my home theater (digital HDMI audio output in xbmc settings) that decoded it fine.
Only thing is that if ouya decode the DTS signal, I have PCM 2 channels audio, if my home theater decode it, I have DTS 5.1 channels audio (my HT is only 5.1).
For the records, I use xbmc 13.0 alpha6 from july 14 2013.

You get static noise because your ouya is passing through the digital signal to your TV or HT to decode the signal. And clearly your receiver is not able to decode the audio stream. You have to change the audio setting output of xbmc to "analog" in order to let xbmc decode it before sending it out to your TV or HT.

nVidia turns our Shield into a next-gen console

Somebody saw this: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-gamestream-a-whole-new-way-to-game
Looks incredible. Console mode allows to put shield next to the TV and let stream from the PC - in 1080p with 60FPS.
God, that is so freaking awesome. Best buy ever. :victory:

sadly that's nothing you can't do with a long HDMI cable and steam big picture
at least is nice they are removing the beta of the streaming

Currently HDMI output only works at 720p at 30 fps AFAIK. This states 1080p at 60 fps with the update, that's something I've been looking forward to.
This, with a wireless xbox 360 controller.... I won't have to lug my tower across the house anymore when I want to game on the couch, or deal with low res and a long HDMI cable.

Awesome update. They mention official support of the bluetooth niko gamepad and also playing with the lid closed. If the support is open for other gamepads (it should be) this is big news for future of the shield as a serious console, handheld or TV connected.
I'm really happy to own this little toy. Long life to the shield!

And the console mode give us real 1080p output outside of movie playback. So we can play all Android games in 1080p or use Shield as small PC with 1080p output.
Damn, the future for this kind of devices looks very bright now.

Yes, many other game controllers work as well (They must support standard Bluetooth HID if they're bluetooth).

This is great news as I already have a moga pro, looks like I will be playing a lot of my PC games in the living room....wife's going to hate me haha.

Awesome, was the D-PAD buttons issue during PC Streaming resolved?
And what about PS3 and XBOX controller? Android has native support of both when connected with usb cable. But both have the D-PAD issue.
The PS3 controller can be used as HID bluetooth but root is needed with the sixaxis control app.
Thanks for telling us.
