How can I best utilize the HDMI Mirror functionality on the phone? I have it working on a Sprint Evo using FullHDMI, but this app doesn't appear to like the Revolution?
Anyone else have it working? If so, how did you get there?
Thanks,

I was just about to ask something similar.. I have tried two different brand mini hdmi cables and i can get nothing to show on my TV. I have tried using it for netflix, videos from the gallery, etc with no success. I have tried all three resolution options with no success... has anyone gotten it to work with the built in HDMI options the revolution has?

What did u view on your tv netflix, gallery stuff, and did u do anything different other than just enable the hdmi port plug and go?

The phone only supports hdcp so some older TVs may not work

Duh. I am such an idiot. I didn't look there. I found it, and it worked PERFECTLY on the HDMI input of my HP All-in-one PC, and on my 65" Sharp TV. Full audio and everything using a cheap cable from Amazon.
Thanks to the original responder for the hint on where to find it, much appreciated. To those who say RTFM, you can suck it because there isn't a mention of that to be found in the guide which came with it.

I had no sound at first. Had to change a setting on the TV to tell it to get sound through the HDMI. Works perfect now. Check settings on your TV.

I've gone through settings, enabled HDMI and tried two different TV's (both less than a year old, one is Vizio, the other is Samsung) and neither of them are working. Any Ideas?

At this point, your phone could have a bad micro HDMI port. I'd have it replaced with a new one. But if you feel like its not your phone then take your phone and your HDMI cable to best buy (or any store that sells Televisions) and ask a representitive that you want to test it out before you buy it (the TV ofcourse).
Most reps will let you hook in your HDMI device without causing much fuss.
If your phone works then its your TV.
If it doesn't then you can get another HDMI cable to test out (or find someone who has a micro HDMI phone and test their phone).
If it works on the second cable then problem solved.
If it worked on someone elses device then your phone has hardware issues.

I would need to revert back to stock or they would just write it off as a complication from rooting it....weighing my options...I'll update my findings.

Rooting your phone voids your warranty, so I'm pretty sure Verizon will check for that when they receive your old phone. They will probably charge you the retail price for the replacement phone they sent you.

The concept to me is really cool. If I didn't already have a laptop it would fill my needs for a computer. Still pricey though...

I don't have one but am very interested in one. Where did you get yours for 35% off?
I have it. Sometimes the hdmi doesn't work. I have to take off and put back on. Otherwise its great. Not $100 worth so im glad I didn't pay full price, but very handy at work and home.
What does this dock do differently? I got a cheap dock on Amazon that works great for me.

It works just like plugging in a standard Micro usb cable into your phone. Option-wise that is.

The op posted about the smart dock. The thread is called smart dock. He said he got 35% off, and still hasn't told anyone how. People keep posting about chargers for some reason? The smart dock gives you the ability to use the full functionality of the mhl http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link#section_5
It's not a charger.

Easy there tiger.
A) This thread is a month old now
B) Have you ever seen a thread stay on topic?
C) >1% of the users of this phone really care about hdmi out. Just no real purpose other than the "oh that's cool factor"
The post I made gives it more than just a "charger" feature set. Which more than likely can be done with the holier-than-thou Smart Dock as well but you'd have to give up the audio port for it to work.

Friend,
how about lag?
Is it ok?
It is really ok. Streaming videos and other stuff is super quick. Only when playing games such as real racing 3 there is lag and problems with picture sharpness, but I didn't bought it for games. I have samsung keyboard with mouse pad so I wanted to use it as pc. But this with multi widnow makes me angry.

Im gonna have to look into this on my tv.
I have the Verizon note 2 and I just tried it. No it doesn't work. I held down the back button and got nothing on the TV or phone. I turned off cast and worked as normal.
A work around would be nice. I can't imagine why that would be disabled.

I have it and it works great with my daughter's stock Note II.
My Note II with CM; not so much.
At least it was cheap.
I don't really see the need, if you connect to wifi with the phone tv, or blue ray you can stream all day without issue.

Allshare dongle is overpriced. Chromecast is multi platform and thus can be used with all your tablets/smartphones and computers.

Also can you use an adapter to display directly to a computer monitor?

Do let us know what it's like.
I dont have any recommendation for you, the one that I suggest you to avoid is getting the Netgear PTV3000, updated all the firmware, this thing sucks. It drops connection, your image will freeze. Tried with multiple devices same result.

I tried the Netgear PTV3000 and it was bad. But if you are in a market for a new HDTV, look for one that support DLNA/Miracast. I have an LG HDTV that support both and I mirror my phone all the time, looks great and very stable.

The slimport just mirrors the phone through a direct connection to the monitor/TV. It works flawlessly. But I realize now that OP was looking for a wireless Miracast solution though. Silly me.
All the Miracst dongles I've looked at had bad reviews. I hope you guys find one that really works consistently. It would be nice to have wireless mirroring on any TV/monitor and I'd rather not go to a Chromecast solution.
i would also like to know of a good and reliable miracast dongle. was hoping chromecast would have an update so it can support mirroring from an android device or at least a mod/hack to enable it but there are none.
I have the Rocketfish one from Bestbuy and it works well. I have used it with a Nexus 10, Nexus 7 2013, Droid DNA, Note 10.1 2014, Shield and a LG G2. It has occasional tearing once in a while but the Shield for whatever reason works the best. I guess due to the 720p screen and not 1080p. I got it a few months ago on sale for $29.99 which I think it is on sale again. It is worth $29.99 but I would not pay $79.99 for it.
I have the PTV3000 use it on my S4, N5, N7, G2, MAXX without issues, there's a few firmware updates that fix a lot of issues. I use it to stream my Slingbox to my TV, there's a slight delay...but don't notice it since I don't watch the phone, just the TV

The PTV3000 also will do WiDi, too, correct?
I'd really like an all in one solution (computer, phone, tablet, etc), which is portable, and lag free. I know there really isn't anything like that out there currently. I am hoping the ASUS dongle will at least take care of the lag problems.

Okay so i have this lapdock laying around that is only used for my raspberry pi and i would like to bring life back into it with either a low latency miracast adapter or some by some miracle someone figures a way to use otg and slimport simultaneously
i figured it would be cool to use the lapdock with this phone, so any decent options out there?

I use the same device and it works fine for playing videos but the lag bothers me when I'm typing. I don't know if we can expect anything faster from Miracast though.
