[Q] TV out for milestone 2

Hey guys I´ve searched all the web for a way to conect m2 to tv, but I had no sucess. Milestone 1 uses an AV cable and there´s a model called X720 that uses HDMI out. I don´t understand why our model can´t conect to a tv! There´s a way?
[]´s

Nope, there is no way, i tryed out the Nokia AudioVideo Cable, i tryed USB->HDMI Cables, i tryed every goddam cable and searched the web for days...
Yet i had no success in finding anything helpful, so i assume, ITS NOT POSSIBLE :/

Only DLNA with WiFi. There was one thread about it

please check previous threads before posting a new thread. there is no way you can use a tv out on this phone. if you wanna watch anything on your TV from your phone, ur best best would be DLNA, or your USB connection.

It´s very sad there´s no connection availabe...
I know how to use DNLA, but I can´t stream live videos to it.
I want to send megavideo stream from M2 to xbox 360 dnla... but i don´t know how.

thats a tough one. im not sure if such an app exists, but judging by the youtube download apps, you could search for one that can download flash videos. after dloading them, save them to your SD card, and you can play them by directly connecting your phone to the USB port on your TV, or into your xbox.
if there is no such app, download the intended video through your computer into ur MS2 and then play it on ur 360 perhaps?

this is correct. You can download a flash video then streaming to dlna devices. But Im looking for an app that connect directly into dlna network dispensing dowloads. Something like browsing my M2 screen into TV.
Just to save time, because in Brazil network speed is a $%#$.
I don´t know if this kind of transmission is possible but is a good idea for a new android app $$$

im afraid i wouldnt know of any such apps mate, sorry. your could post a thread (if there arent any threads already) on the android software development and post it as an app suggestion, and see if any developers get back to you there.
here's the link to that forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=524
hope a developer there would be able to assist you

i´ll try! thank you

Milestone2 just can't use HDMI or any other means to get a TV out

Buy a new USB storage compatible TV with digital media playback function,
Connect Milestone 2 with USB Storage Mode,
Play media files in the SD card via TV,
Done.
Just kidding , @agent008my is right.

I found an app that function according to my needs. It´s called imediashare. It work with several streaming servers including youtube. It works making M2 a proxy server so you can use a dlna to open. It´s very cool but the software need to include morer servers like megavideo.

Thanks for your feedback. I read the description of the said application on the market. Seems pretty sweet. Obviously as stated more sites will be supported in the future. Hopefully they would include megavideo for your convenience

I need to know HDMI basics o_O *confused*

Hello all... I'm confused by the HDMI capabilities of my Evo. I'm under the impression that when you connect the micro HDMI cable (I just bought), you're able to view your phone's screen on your TV--as thought it were a large monitor. I thought this is what "mirroring" meant.
All I can see with this micrHDMI cable are videos, slideshows and photos--all pointless activities to the way I use my phone, oh! and play a video game or two, which I don't do. I installed two HDMI apps--the only two that I found on the market. The only thing I have not done is flash a different kernel.
Before I flash another kernel, do I have the wrong idea about what mirroring means?

No, you don't have the wrong idea. The evo's native HDMI capabilities will only allow you to see certain things on the tv screen, such as youtube, streaming video, the gallery app, etc (as you already noted). There are two apps in the market, both of which I've had success with. Those apps (fullhdmi and hdmwin) both allow you to mirror whatever is on your evo's screen to the tv. Anything on your phone's screen will be mirrored to the tv you have it connected to. I havent used either of the two apps in a month or so actually, but I thought that a custom kernel was no longer required to use either one of them? (although a custom kernel did make things seem a bit smoother, as I believe it enabled hardware acceleration)
So in short, you don't have the wrong idea, and you are indeed able to do what you have set out to do.
EDIT: I just noticed that you said you have intalled both of the hdmi apps on to your phone. I would suggest uninstalling one of them, as they could interfere with eachother. Decide which one you want to use, and then uninstall the other one and reboot your phone, then try it.

As always, k2buckley is on point. Please note that for the best results, a custom kernel (check my sig for the one I'm using) is better because it will allow the app to work better by allowing certain features and output resolutions to work that will not work without the custom kernel. I use the mirroring feature frequently, so for me it is worth having the custom kernel.

Thank you for your prompt response. Could the problem also be in my TV settings?
This is what I did (Using a 52" Panasonic plasma - w/Vieracast):
1) Installed the app. (Full HDMI by Team Win, uninstalled. Installed FuLLHDMI by orrebmas)
2) plugged everything in (HDMI to HDMI1 port on my tv and micro to the Evo)
3) Selected the input to HDMI1 (using my remote).
4) Results, *Black screen* I didn't see anything until I produced the Gallery, YouTube or videos on my phone which now I'm learning are default.
Other than flashing a custom kernel, I can't imagine what else you'd need to do.

Did you open up the FullHDMI app, and click the button that says 'apply and start mirroring' or something to that nature? It doesn't sound like you started the actual app. And if you don't start the app, it reverts to the phone's default capabilitites. Once you start the app, and hit the button that says start mirroring, it should start. If it won't display, you may need to change the output resolution. I believe there were 4 or 5 settings in the app. On my TV, which is a 50" Samsung, only 2 of the settings would work. All of the other settings, my tv would say something like 'format not supported'. I had to mess around for a couple minutes, but was able to get it to work. And it worked rather nicely as well, once I got it going.

You can find trouble shooting tips and even live support via chat on the FullHDMI website here:
http://members.cox.net/lokifish/index.html
As buckley said, once you connect the HDMI cable from your phone to the TV, you need to hit the button that says "Start FullHDMI Service". If you get a black screen, hit the second tab and make sure the resolution is not set to 720p (unless you have the custom kernel). Also, please note that 800x600 is a resolution for computers and not supported by all TV's, so you may want to try PAL or EDTV if you get a black screen. Once you change the resolution, go back to the main tab and hit the start button again. Since it is already running, it will say "Reapply Service" or something like that.
There are many more trouble shooting tips on the site asides from what I mentioned above. I suggest you check it out. Lokifish is pretty good about being on the chat server, so chances are you can get live help there, as well.

Ok, there we go... it's working. The setting my TV will let me use is EDTV. Thanks everyone for all your help.

Now back to stock YouTube
will not work. I have tried disabling HDMwin service already without success.
Also tried uninstalling stock onboard YouTube and re-installing it.
If I disable HDMWin service, shouldn't this be all I need to do in order
to use onboard YouTube without mirroring it?

If you're on a Sense rom, the YouTube app should work with the native HDMI capabilities of the Evo. If you're on an AOSP rom, you will have no native HDMI capabilities, and the only way for HDMI to work is with one of the two available apps in the market. If you are on a sense rom, and it's still not working, there could be a few things causing your problem. Such as a bad HDMI cable, a bad HDMI port, or the particular kernel you're on may not support HDMI output.

On on a Sense ROM
Netarchy.
The native HDMI worked prior to flashing Netarchy so I know it's ok.
One thing kind of odd that I noticed with the native YouTube before I
re-installed it. The search function stopped working for some reason.
I have no idea why. So, I uninstalled the native YouTube, re-installed
a new one and the search function is back. I now also have two YouTube
icons, only one of which works.
I have yet to try the new native YouTube for HDMI and will do that today.
I also tried dragging the "old" Youtbube icon off the desktop but it won't
disappear.

[Q] Streaming app?

Since it's now possible to install apps in the Q, I was wondering if there's an app for streaming audio directly to the Nexus Q from your computer or something like that via WiFi. Like WiFi speakers. Do you know any app that can do the job?? Would it be difficult to develop?

I think something that uses AirPlay would work well enough. I haven't tried it though - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.airbubble&hl=en
I'm planning on trying this out this weekend to see how far I can get (and possibly putting together some sort of AirPlay receiver service specifically for the Q).

After a little search
After a little search I found this. The only downside is that the server is Windows only.

Looking for APP to remote control Android 5.1 via USB

Hello there!
As the title says i'm looking for an app to remote control my Nexus 5 wich uses android 5.1.1 and mobizen is not supporting inputs on it. My mouse won't work on it and the staff says they are working on it. But I need to capture my device for gaming/YouTube purpose and need an APP which can pass with high bandwidth(USB, because via wi-fi will possibly delay/buffer on 1080P)
Mobizen does exactly the work and i couldn't find out another app. Also my device is NOT ROOOTED and mobizen works on not rooted.
As an alternative i'm recording internally on the device using "Shou" but it reduces my FPS, my device get more hot faster and I can't have any more APPS or games or musics on my device due to low space during the recordings. BUT i can't record my cam while i'm looking down to the device(can?).
So getting my monitor which is ultra wide with full screen from my device which is 1080 and record with NVidia shadow play that records the entire Desktop while recording with my web cam C920 would be really great.
Hope someone knows any app that could do that without root(If rooting the device i still can receive updates via OTA I would go for a root) but if You only know rooting needed APPs put it here so I can think about rooting my device T_T.
Thank You very much for Your time, hope posted it on the right place.
@edit Just noticed...its in on the wrong place. Sorry....... this is HTC section.
Can someone please move the topic? I can't delete it. sorry.

TV sets with Board CV9632H-A50 / Mediatek m7332_eu

Want to start some research about this board. I know that JTC uses it in its TV sets, but its probably widely spread among OEM TVs.
To discover firmware I unpacked a update and found a file: CtvUpgrade.bin that starts with a list of partitions that are in its ROM.
Anyone knows more about the format or want to join me here?

Hi.
The board is a cultraview they like to have a custom OS from Zeasn on it.
To be recognized by the launcher cultraview_open_launcher.
This is built into cheap models.
You get to the hidden tv menu through input / source and then 2580.
I myself have a device from kb-elements with cultraview board and custom OS.

Oh, well - good to have a bro here
I could figure our already some thing in the Service Menu (Overscan, Reduce backlight further more).
But sill I just have quite a few questions:
Does your board allow record broadcast?
Could you get rid of the annoying "Energy waste" pop-ups if you increase volume?
Did you get root access to it?

A german bro.
No root is only possible with a root OS version which then has to be flashed Via USB.
This will void the guarantee.
Especially since at least for me it is an OS adapted by Zeasn.
I suspect that JTC is similar to kb-elements.
The file ctvupdate is only firmware for the board.
I would avoid the ctv mode at least when the backlight is deactivated.

Yeah, where are you from? I am not so afraid of guarantie. But I need to know more about. It would be cool to have a real Android, so where all apps will work. Widevine would be cool.
I've seen different update files for same TV with different serial numbers. Guess it is just the different panel. Would be great to separate android from the HW-specific stuff.
Does your TV allows recording?

Lower Saxony.
The cultraview board is often built into cheap devices.
Jtc / Jay tech, TCL, Hisens, KB elements.
Unfortunately, widevine is not on it and the Android is also an adapted "not Google" version.
Playstore ect are installed, if at all, which sometimes leads to problems.
Root access is also not possible. Unless you have an update for the USB stick and modefiert it for root access.
But that is beyond my knowledge.
Yes PVR works, even on a USB stick which sometimes does not work.
If necessary, it could also be activated in the service menu.

For me Playstore isn't working anymore. Although all other apps does have network it complains not to have it.
I manually updated to latest gsf and gms (Service Framework and Playservices for Android 9+) and also to the latest Playstore. I found that I have to install the Playstore for Android TV [8]. Installing the normal one [0] works, but after starting it complains with: This version is not compatible to device.
Nevertheless it keeps non operational with "no network". Help!
I am wondering what can prevent Playstore from working? Is it because of Android TV?
I am pretty sure the Android on this TV is far from perfect, but hey - why no PlayStore. I think once it worked.
