Everything is connected properly. No notice of an HDMI cable to the phone. It is not rooted.
My phone is Milestone XT720, Android 2.1.
Try going to your gallery viewer and then to menu and you should have a button to display on tv. There might be some options in market to display all the time, but I really have no idea.

Try a different hdmi port on the tv. If that doesnt work, try a different tv. If that doesnt work, it could be a bad cable.
The gallery works, thanks, but I want to watch movies with RockPlayer.
try real hdmi
not sure if it works on milestone but its worth a shot

EDIT:never mind seems to be droid x only
Rock Player doesnt output to hdmi.
Real HDMI not install for me, I'll wait until update 2.2 and will try then. Thank you.
Moved to Milestone Forum, as it has nothing to do with Android Programming

You can get your homescreen to
Appear on Tv by the following trick
Launch Gallery apps (not media gallery)
Play a short hd video (recorded with your xt720)
Select display on tv
Wait for video to finish
This will display the gallery.
Press back button
Your homescreen will be displayed on tv
The only limitation is that your xt720 lcd screen will be stuck in video control mode and your have to guess where to touch the screen!

Thanks, but...
Launch Gallery apps (not media gallery)
Play a short hd video (recorded with your xt720)
Select display on tv
Wait for video to finish
Display gallery show for a second and leave a TV screen immediately. Not stuck ... I tried several times. : (
Once i select DISPLAY ON TV show comes to incoming calls, whether to receive or NO, YES his election, whether this prolem?
I usually select YES for incoming call.Are you definitely using the Gallery app as it does not work in Media Gallery app?
Maybe try a different video, that sometimes help.
Also what software version are you on. I am using a uk xt720 with s/w
Ver str_u2_01_1e.0

Yes, I tried both, same result. : (
Version is the same - str_u2_01_1e.0
I just try few minutes ago. Needed few attempts to get this trick working. Not very reliable!!!
Best to have gallery in landscape mode and play at least 10 seconds of 720p video.
Also I checked rock player app and unfortunately it does not play full screen. Only youtube and default player seem to play full screen.otherwise you get only the 854x480 resolution which is only a fraction of your tv screen.

Alright, thank you. After all, the pictures of the screen didn't stuck, after the video the tv just turn off. I will wait for update 2.2
Thanks again
I think the video player application has to support "Display on Tv" to get full screen. Hopefully there will be an app for that in the future

Hey guys I was just wondering if it were possible to modify
the YouTube app or even develop a new one that can gain full access to the website (no more unavailable on mobile devices ) and the ability to turn off the screen while listening to normal music videos (no music stopping ).
I find it annoying to have the screen on while just listening to a normal song which mainly display still pictures

Is there a way to take a screen shot of a video being played on any of the video players on the Samsung galaxy note. For non rooted phones please. I have tried using spen for various players but just get a blank screen shot for videos.
1 Pause
2 Slide hand across the screen
You cannot, not unless you can convince your player to use software rendering as opposed to overlays.
If you need one frame only from video, there is nice app from market: Frame grabber.

I have tried pausing and also without pausing and spen / slide of hand / home button +power button for screen shot with stock player / dice player / mxplayer pro, but always end with just the blank frame apart from seeing buttons of player.

I have tried software and hardware decoding modes for mxplayer but makes no difference and end with just blank frame for video screen shot.

Yes just need one frame for taking screenshot for labelling parts etc for powerpoint slides for teaching purposes. For example any teaching videos of procedures or ultrasound scan guided interventional procedures if I have a video but I need a frame at various stages to label the parts and use that frame as powerpoint slide. Will try the frame grabber you mentioned. Thanks.
Screencast on your Note Smartphone possible, but...

Screecasts without root access my experience, are almost impossible. There are options to root your phone.With Stockrom by Samsung you get problems. With a CustomROM CM 4.2.2 it´s working fine. The color error you also get solved. Watch PsionparkVideo on Youtube and search for "Screencast color failure corrected "

found a solution for my needs, i use the sony framegrabber app to get screen grabs on any video that i play (but need to download video first). have been using it for a while now, forgot to reply here earlier.
Hi,
I'm using Android 2.3.5
when I connect my galaxy to TV - it works fine
the problem begins only when I watch videos on mobo/mv/original player.
it starts on "full screen" mode and I can't see the subs or the menu, it only shows the video in one size.
it seems like i have 2 different screens

try using mxplayer or rock player though my personal favorite is mxplayer.. it has options of changing screen size, disabling/enabling subs, select audio stream if the file is a dual audio file.. etc
my mistake - I tried mx player (not mv).
tried all options at the software...
but I couldn't fix it.
***at the first second - I do see the same screen on TV an phone, but it changes fast to only video on TV (no subs nor menu)...

Well now I understood your problem better.. the menu is being displayed on the phone but not on the TV screen right?
I apologize that I misunderstood your problem earlier .. and I can't help further in this matter as I am on ICS rom (no TV out in this one yet).. hope your problem is solved soon..
Was thinking about picking up some sale movies from the Google Play store now that we have the ability to show on the big screen via Chromecast. In the store, it says that HD is available for Android devices, and SD is available for the web. Does anyone know what format Chromecast will play back? Thanks

YouTube forces the highest quality possible if you cast from a phone, however, through the chrome browser on a desktop you can adjust the quality. I imagine it works the same way. Netflix pushes HD if available.

Google Play Movies plays in HD when cast from a Android device. I've never tried casting it from the web.
playback messages
When I use Youtube to send a playlist of trailers to my "TV" (it's actually a front projector), I get an onscreen message at the head of every trailer that contains a Youtube logo, the name of the trailer as well as download count info. I really don't want this extraneous info appearing on the screen at all. Don't know if it's being generated by the app or by the Chromecast hardware. Can anyone guess as to how this crap can be turned off. Believe it or not, this "feature" is a deal breaker for me. I'm using this in a home theater ... and I want to have as close to a cinema experience as is possible. I just want the trailers to play one after another like they do in a theater ... with out all the notices..

There's no way to change this yet at all. Maybe after Google releases the sdk but doubtful this will be something they will allow us to change...I understand what you're trying to do but a "deal breaker" really?

That was my concern too. Needless to say it was hd. I got this tv show free when i got my chromecast. (just appeared in my play movies app.
https://play.google.com/store/tv/sh...season-XfXahgRu6i4&gdid=tvepisode-7yIwxH0EIoI
The picture quality on my chromecast was just awesome. My tv stayed at 1080p. I like the chromecast because i can buy movies and tv shows and bill them to my phone. until now i would hookup my laptop via hdmi but it was just 420p.
I think you'll be happy.
I installed cm-11-20141218 on my Nook HD plus. It's my first root. Everything went smoothly.... except in Google play movies it says 'Playback isn't supported on this device' when trying to stream my movies and shows (same issue in Disney Movies). All other Google apps appear to be working fine. However, I can download and watch or cast and watch, but both options produce very low quality images (I do have the HD download option set). Normally the Nook HD plus has great video playback quality. Ironically I can now watch 1080p videos in YouTube (but not purchased videos).
I was hoping that someone might have a simple fix.... thanks.

I don't watch videos there, but I suspect they don't work on rooted devices, so you need an app that hides your root status. I don't know exact name, you can search on Google.
