Hey everyone
wanted to ask about this problem i have been having with my tab
when i hook it up through my tv or pc screen with hdmi the text and image in general
is very low res or appears very grainy.
Is there anyway to increase it or fix the rough image that you guys know of?
Thanks heaps
I've had the same issue. Thing is my beamer isn't 1080p, it's 720p at the most (I'm talking output resolution, not input wich can be anything).
From what I've read, people are having problem with some TV that are not recognized by the dock as HD. Result is the image is at very low res (720x480 or 720x576, I would guess) even lower than the tab's resolution (which is ridiculous).
I haven't found a fix for that, but if anyone have an idea that would be great !
Put it in landscape, it looks much better on tv.
And when you play videos it change resolution and looks great
Sent from my GT-P1000
If anyone knows anything about this please share as i am having the same problem and its very annoying having spent the money on this dock.
thanks alot guys!

Hello,
Ive downloaded and tried some games on my Diamond. Like SimCity SOciitiets Mobile. I just have one problem. The game starts and all is good, but it is just a small square in the top left. The game doesnt cover the screen? Its really really hard to see anything.
Can i change resolution or something? Some games does cover the whole scren, and some dont.. Anyone know why?

I suggest, because some are developed to support vga and some not?

I think your right.
Some support various resolutions, and screen sizes but not VGA. Whereas some will be full screen but ive noticed a bit fuzzy in quality as the image is being zoomed in to fit (if that makes sense?)
Is there anyway to force it to be fullscreen even tough its not 640x480?
Its seems that almost every java mobile game is for poor resolution. Ive tried the NVD software that changes the resolution. But its very hard to load the game after you have changed the resolution.. Anyone has any idea how to change the resolution on start of the game, and then go back to normal?
Any news on this matter?
Almost all java programs are not usable.

Hello fellow Captivaters/ Androiders!
Just out of curiousness, has anyone ever successfully transcode/ convert an actual Blu Ray rip to use on our Captivates? If so, what video/ audio codecs were used and settings? Now before you ask....the answer is YES, i have searched inside the following:

...yea.
I also googled it. All results lead to downloading Pavtube/ Ripbot/ DVDFab/ etc. I don't mind getting into each program, but i would prefer Handbrake if necessary.
I have searched on youtube as well, lets just say its Youtube...lol...sometimes you'll find results that you never knew existed.
If anyone can shed some light, i would greatly appreciate it.
To Android!
I'm pretty sure a Blu-Ray DVD works the exact same way in Handbrake as a regular DVD, assuming if you have the driver software to decode it (Google will have to be your friend here). Just use the Regular Normal preset...instructions I've found elsewhere tell you to use iPod settings for a Galaxy S, but the encodes I've done using that always turn out less than spectacular.

Thanks Shwiggie.
Question: Have you successfully achieved this with Blu Ray?
As mentioned, I have used google, and will try again. Also, i've used both Normal/ High Profile/ Iphone/ Ipod legacy presets and all attempts have failed (Mainly audio). The video, on the other hand, works out perfect. Thanks again.
Hi,
I been using the webtop 3 on my atrix lapdock and it is really amazing
I connected it to my 37" FULLHD LCD screen and chose 1920x1080 50/60Hz as my resolution but it still looks like 1280x720,does someone knows if it is even possible to output 1080p from the droid 4? (I have seen posts about getting webtop 2 in Atrix to output 1080p).
How does webtop 3 works in terms of outputing,since it is plain ICS there is no X server,right?
Is there any config files that I can play with?
It's just in the normal Android settings menu, though I can't remember exactly where, probably under display.
The option only appears once you have an HDMI cable hooked up, and I don't have one available right now, sorry.
Yep, under Dispaly you can find Webtop resolution and can choose 1920x1080 50 or 60Hz.
I see the option, but it's greyed out for me, for some reason. My TV supports it, but it defaults to 1280*720

I`ve just tried it again, connect to my 40-inch Samsung, choose Webtop, by default it`s 1280x720 - but I can change it to 1920x1080.

are you sure you don't have a 1080i TV and not a 1080p? webtop might be picky between the two.
This is often the issue. A lot of 1080i TVs aren't even 1920x1080 they are 1366x768 using cheap panels originally intended for computer use. See if you can find the actual specs, including the native resolution, of your TV. Or post the make and model here.
In any case the phone will be querying the TV for it's capabilities and offering up whatever the TV claims to support.

It's a 42" LG 3DTV from 2011, according to the LG remote control app on my phone it's a 42LW570S-ZD. As far as I can tell it's full 1080P with 100 Hz (so assuming 50 Hz should be no problem either, but it might be picky about this I guess?)
Maybe I should turn off the smooth motion thingy?
Edit: probably a TV related issue indeed, with my projector it works fine. I can select from the whole list of resolutions even though its native resolution is 1024*768.
Edit 2: Now the selection seems to work, not sure why. Maybe playing around with the projector 'unlocked' it, or maybe it was the smooth motion thingy. 1920*1080 seems to be a lower resolution effectively than 1280*720 for some reason, browser still says it's 720P so still need to search some more. Strange thing: 1280*720 @ 60 Hz works great without 'scale to fit' enabled, but same resolution @ 50 Hz doesn't fully fit in the screen. Enabling scale to fit make everything look less sharp, so the resizing algorithms aren't that great.
Edit 3: There's something very fishy going on here. It looks like it's always based on 1280*720 resolution somehow:
- My TV reports the selected resolution, but anything over 1280*720 looks like it's downscaled (horribly).
- Web pages always report 1280*720 resolution via stock browser, even when I'm in 640*480 and can clearly see the lowered resolution.
- Android Assistant always reports 1280*672 (or something) resolution, which is excluding the action bar I guess.
No idea if that's related to my TV or just a general WebTop issue though. The TV seems to respond to every resolution change, and shows the selected resolution in its info bar.
I chose the 1920x1080 all that I am saying it is that it looks like 1280x720 to me.
My TV is Full HD and I use it with my PC in 1920x1080.
Can it be that it scales the picture to be in the same dimension?
Same for me, and the phone seem to report the resolution being 1280*720 regardless of the actual selected resolution.
Also the downscaling algorithm is terrible, 1920*1080 downscaled looks less crisp than 1280*720 full resolution.
Tonight I want to try taking some screenshots, and see what sizes they get.
I was wondering if it could be the HDMI cable, but it passes 1080p just fine for other devices.
acipio Robt.
The chipset(OMAP 4430) should support full HD display and from what I understand on webtop2(on atrix I think) people managed to display the full resolution.
The proof is in the pudding. I took screenshots at 640*480 (clearly blocky when shown on TV, and TV indicates resolution as 640*480), 1280*720, and 1920*1080..
They all have the exact same dimensions!
The actual operating system is running at 1280*720, regardless of which resolution you select! It's resized by the output chip. Nasty nasty!!
(but understandable, else every resolution change would require some apps to restart, and using 1080p instead of 720p would be less fluid while most people can't tell the difference anyway = less customer satisfaction for Average Joe)
So we need some config file hack to enable TRUE 1080p probably.
Edit: XDA forum resizes the pictures, so here they are in full resolution (click the corner icon to view full) - http://imgur.com/a/2DuqK
Edit 2: Even for WebTop 2, it looks like Motorola never stated it supported 1080p - looks like 720p is max. But for older WebTop versions, a higher resolution could be hacked via the terminal, so I'm hoping to find something similar for WebTop 3. So far no luck in any config file or DB I checked.

Hello, sad to see that the only google's answare to the fKe fullhd on webtop 3 is this forgotten thread. Any news? (I'm with a razr with webtop 3 after ics update, the latest jb ota update shows no good news
Hi!
any news? Please help how to enable true 1080p in webtop 3.0.

Yes, without 1080p (or even 1280x1024) support I'll send back the Razr Maxx inkl. HD Dock BT Mouse & Keyboard. I was testing the Webtop 3 solution to connect to a regular Business Monitor (e.g. 19" and 24") to run a virtual Win7 Desktop via Citrix Receiver over that - but with a limit at (true) 720p this is no acceptable solution for me.

Hey guys!
I've been playing around with my Chromecast after I got it today, and everything seems to be working great. Except when I cast tabs (or the whole desktop) to the Chromecast, somehow the display gets cut off by like a couple of inches on each edge. I tried with a Macbook Pro, and a Win 7 desktop (varied the resolution on the computers as well). I have a Haier L32D1120, wanted to know if anyone else is having similar issues. I tried the different options under the Chrome extension, none of them fixed it. I use a PS3/Roku/Apple TV on my TV using HDMI, and none of them have any issues like this.
Any clues?

I'd expect them to handle some overscan, but without some sort of setup util to determine (via user input) the optimal amount, you're likely to still have some. Does it provide a setup in the beginning asking you to move edges of a box or arrows until they are at the edge of the screen (overscan calibration)?

I looked at the advanced video settings on my TV, and somehow the Overscan setting is set to On, but it never lets me do anything in that option or change it. Weird. Might have to look at the manual.
Thanks though.
I think it's the TV that is doing the overscan, since it's an HDMI signal, not a Monitor input like VGA or DVI. So it's interpreting that the signal has been adjusted to be overscanned. Idunno.
Anyway, My TV (Samsung) has an option to adjust the fit of the picture
Menu > Picture > Screen Adjustment > Picture Size > Screen Fit
Now I can see the entire video and no overscanning.

Yeah. Overscan isn't accidental. The reasons may be ancient and a result of inexact control and display, but all modern "TV" displays will scale/crop some of the signal (overscanning) to deal with the format of the signals that had to be padded for displays that had no choice (CRT).
That's pretty much THE defining characteristic of a TV vs a "Display". These days, any decent digital TV can display 1:1 pixel ratio (like yours).
Hi
I bought T325 and i wanna use it as a big GPS (when i'm passenger, it's more funny than watching video while wife is driving)
So i tried Waze. Working fine on all my FullHd devices, but not with T325 2560*1600. Screen is not fulfilled.
Waze is not screen resolution compatible atm with T325. Porbably app will be updated in the future, devices like LG G3 are coming with huge resolution.
Is there a way to solve this problem for the moment, modifying DPI for example ?

I have lot of white squares on the map using WAZE SAMSUNG TAB PRO 8.4" SM-T325 on the corners or at the top and the bottom! How can it be corrected?
youtube.com/watch?v=wn1AU0qziow&feature=player_detailpage
I've just bought a glaxy tab pro 8.4 for the specific reason to use waze ( i'm a taxi driver ) to my horror i'm having the same problems as described here. I had a tab 4 7 inch and it worked fine. Please be a solution for this, is there any way around this?
Guys, haven't received my T320 yet, but try fiddling around with 'Xposed' + 'App Settings', some DPI change or fullscren force would probably resolve this.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but Waze still has yet to fix the rendering issues on higher res screens. I've played with a bunch of settings in X App Settings and nothing seems to help. I think we'll have to wait on a fix from Waze
