Hello guys,
I'm experiencing a problem which is NOT good.
I have netflix on my LG P990 and on my PS3. Somedays ago, I've noticed that netflix was kinda lag but only on P990. So I decided to check this out.
The problem has been found: When I connect a HDMI cable to my TV and to LG P990, the wi-fi connection speed drops a LOT. I've been testing with Solid Explorer to check the transfer rate.
With NO HDMI cable connected, I got around 1.5MB/s, at the exactly moment I plug the HDMI cable, it reduces to 200KB/s or less. Sometimes it stops the transfer.
Then, when I unpplug the cable, it starts to go faster again! I've already tested 3 different ROMs: MIUI, CM7 Official and NovaHD ICS (all with FULL wipe) and the problem has been detected on all of 3 ROMs.
Is there anything I can do to solve this problem? I really like Netflix, and would like to use it on my P990 on HDMI cable.
Thank you guys!
did you try another HDMI cable?
Not yet. I will try to get another cable with my cousin to check this out. BUT, I don't think it's the cable. Thanks for you answer.
May I suggest you try this on the official LG 2.3.4 rom too? With full wipe of course.
Could be a bandwidth issues but i think its probably a poor cable.
..
How did you get netflix working with nova hd? I've never managed to get it to work on current ics roms !

Yes, I did. Tested today and got the same problem. I tested with an original SonyEricsson's Micro HDMI cable from a Xperia, and got the same.
Already tested it on another TV with HDMI and got the same.

I don't know how to get it back (and I don't think it's good ideia to go back to Stock ROM, cause this ROM is really slow )
Are there any other options?

I'm pretty sure it's not a bandwith problem. I started a file transfer without HDMI cable connected and got 1.5~1.7MB/s. From the moment I connect the HDMI, after 3 seconds, It's already in 40KB/s and then I unplugged the cable, got 1.5~1.7MB/s again.

I don't have it on Nova HD. I mentioned nova HD beacause I used it to test HDMI on Wi-FI. I use it on MIUI (GB) or CM Gingerbread ROMs
Hey guys,
after some Google search and reading a LOT of stuff, just figured out how to solve or at least get a better wi-fi speed when HDMI is connected.
I've read something about router's configuration on wireless settings could be possibly wrong.
I just logged into my router and chaged the wireless channel from 7 to 1 and eureka! Got it now. Just watched a netflix video without lag and in HD.
Seems HDMI connection when on, still causes some interference on wi-fi, but it's MUCH better now.
Tested with some file transfers as well, and got almost the same speed as without the HDMI connected. Sometimes I get the same speed on both cases.
If I have enough time on these days, I'll test with different channels.
Ps.: Channel 1 worked for me but maybe it's just on my case. Possibly you will have to check different channels on your network.
It's p990 hardware problem
if you plugged HDMI cable and connected to TV, WiFi speed drops very low almost zero
but sometime it works just fine, most of time not,
confirmed this on stock rom and CM7
using CM10 now, haven't tried yet, I think it would be the same.

Hello everyone,
another day another issue:
I connected my O2X to the TV with hdmi cable to watch a long youtube video (1hour44min) but after a few minutes the video stops and it can't load anymore.
I try to go to the browser version of youtube and my browser doesn't load...finally I go to the settings and under Wifi it says disconnected!!! I tried this several times and everytime hdmi is connected wifi seems to stop working.
Now, I'm sure LG didn't mess this phone up that much, where connecting the provided hdmi cable disconnects wifi....I mean come on surely this would be impossible? right?
Anyone had this issue before? Is the solution to get a new ROM or a new phone?
Cheers
I dont hv this problem, have you tried to reboot the machine and solve the problem?

I have a westinghouse 32" 1080p tv. I got the hdmi mulitimedia dock yesterday. I a hdmi cable someone had gave me awhile back that ive never used since ive dont have anything that used it. when I got home and found it took a mini hdmi I got an adapter. after plugging everything in I get no video and the sound goes in and out. like 5 sec on 5 sec off. I cant test on another tv and after searching all day I havent found any1 with this problem. but it seems like they all have the a to c cable. could it be that I need to buy a new cable. does anyone have it working using a regular hdmi cable with a hdmi mini adapter. I.m using the newest overcome rom kratos
I also have the dock and am using overcome kratos, however I don't have the right cable to connect the dock to my tv. I could swear that I read somewhere that the overcome builds don't support TV out.
that is interesting of all the things I thought was the problem I didn't think it would be my rom. could someone confirm this I don't really think I want to switch from overcome

Just tested mine and had no issues. Both picture and sound working. Mini hdmi to hdmi straight from the dock to tv.
just bought the hdtv adapter for p1000 after plug in the screen flashes on the tv but doesnt stay on. I am running GingerBread 2.3.3. I cant seem to solve the issue, I even tried on a newer tv and it does the exact same thing.

I have exactly the same problem as well. I am on Overcome 4.0. I have also tried with 2 different TVs with no success. Still looking for a solution...
I have the same problem
I had theorised that it was because I had updated using the nowipe option! (overcome Kratos edition)
Over the holidays I intend to do a clean Kratos install to see if that sorts it.
I hope you have plugged in the charger to the dock, or else it wont work!
aye done that. no joy though
Yes, charger is plugged in. But still no luck. Tried my wife's Galaxy Tab, which is on Kratos and the exact same issue with the picture showing snow and the occasional flash of the Galaxy Tab screen. I'm wondering if the HDMI Dock itself is faulty.
If so, then my dock has the exact same fault!
I now believe that the snow/static image symptoms that we are seeing is actually indicating an "HDMI Handshake" issue. So I am now researching as much as I can to see if there if anything I can do to rectify HDMI Handshake issues. I'll let you know if I resolve anything.

I tried many ROM(some stock froyo, stock gingerbread, overcome 4.0), only with 2.3.6. cromed works a little better, but still working with the snow for 2 seconds and dark for 5-8 seconds.
I have the same issue. Tried also many ROMS (OC 4.0, Boca RC1, Miui), but no working hdmi output. Is there any ROM where it works?
Last night I flashed my Galaxy Tab with the new and awesome Overcome 4.1.0. HDMI output works fine now.

Just tried flashing Overcome 4.1.0. HDMI is still not working for me. I am wondering if the cable I am using is dodgy. I am using a 2 metre Mini HDMI to HDMI cable. Anyone successfully using a 2m or longer cable?
I use a mini HDMI to HDMI cable, but it is only 1 m long. What is your System? PAL or NTSC?
that is how I am working my setup!
Good day,
Just bought this HDMI cable for my phone is it suitable?

Last Q, when you connect these cables must you turn off your phone or are they "plug and play"
Thanx!
Looks like it will do the job, you just plug it in and the picture appears on the screen.
Plug and play.
Its a bit of a wank really, show off pretty games to friends.. no real use i can think of.
Unless you wana watch a movie on a tv that has hdmi but no USB.

Would have been better if when you plug the phone into the telly, the screen on the phone then becomes a touchpad that you control a cursor on the screen with.
Would have made for pretty good Angry Birds etc. experiences.
Thanx guys, great for showing off yeah
didn't u got the cable with phone???
HDMI cable was included in box when i bought it.and it works great even can play games without lagging ,full hd support..but ya videos little bit lags...

Those thieves!!!, even in Mexico (Telcel as carrier) included the HDMI cable, the main reason I brought this phone! (went from Iconia A500 to this... to watch anime without a PC, I have been without a laptop 3 years straight, I found myself not using it, now with tegra 2 and LG more reason not to).

Yeah they robbed you blind bro.. Cause I have the Canadian (Fido) Version and I got the works.. HDMI, headphones.. usb and Ac adapter.
Mine doesn't have the HDMI cable included as well...
Is it really useful? I don't see I'm gonna need this, but heck I might be wrong...
Hello!
In Germany there isn't a HDMI-cable included either...
I use this adapter and a cable I have always installed in case I want to connect my laptop to the TV.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cablesson®-...HVPM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324144699&sr=8-1
I use it for slideshows, video playback and online radio playback.
...works fine.
And on the phone side it is plug and play, but you TV might need to be changed to the right source channel (i.e. HDMI 3 in my case) – but some TV sets might do this automatically if there isn't connected any other video source.
Heh just remembered, my HDMI cable is hanging out the back of my telly... shame the phone is gone
HDMI is not that useful imho. Some games are great to play on big screen but there is problem with short cable, you need to be very close to TV.
I also tried GTA 3 on big screen (plasma hd ready). Very poor graphic, i would rather install this game on my PC again.

HDMI can be extended http://www.dealextreme.com/p/gold-plated-hdmi-female-to-female-adapter-converter-29363 so you can get at least 3-4m from TV.
Bought it along with micro HDMI and a normal HDMI cable, works just fine. But, it's not so useful, really. Photos are not in high res, movies are sometimes ok but some don't work at all (mkv 4.1 profile and up, there are multiple threads about that). So... maybe it's better to use DLNA and ordinary PC, PS3, real media players.
I never got an HDMI cable in my UK box either.
I have an annoying problem: when i connect my phone to the Television with HDMI, wifi simply disconnects. Before it wasn't very important, but now i want to watch some streamings on my TV and i can't. Is there any solution? Has anyone faced the same problem?

I have the same problem. Maybe we should contact the LG to fix this.
For me HDMI lost his utility without internet connection...

I got this problem too,
if you use network meter by tinyjames, realtime on screen bandwidth monitor,
you can see the actual symptons, not only Wifi disconnect
when you are downloading or Streaming like usual
if you plugged your hdmi to TV/ monitor, the speed dropped instantly getting extremely slow until no traffic is transfer (or disconnected from wifi)
if you unplug ur hdmi cable, it backs to normal
CM7 nightly build
What Rom do you guys use?
Offcial rom or other custom rom ?
I use stock V20q with SR2 kernel. The bug appeared in all previous firmwares I used.
Didn't test the speed, but no disconnects here. 3G or wifi, doesn't matter.
Django 1.2.1, 20q BB&RIL, Spica SR3R2 no OC.
Ok, I've tried this too. CM 7.2.0 RC1 - when I connect HDMI cable, low power sources at around -90dBm gets lost absolutelly. But my own wifi which is around -50dBm sometimes gets better, sometimes worse - difference is about 10dBm.
I consider this behavior quite normal, don't see a mistake about this. Theese high frequencies just act this way And this is HW related, not the problem of SW.
But try something like WiFi Analyzer, you'll see signal strenght of all available AP's on one screen. Or something like squall0833 has written to measure bandwith to get better results..
So if you are near your wifi modem the connection should work?

Hi there,
im having a big problem with MHL on my P880. Once i connect the phone, it simply does nothing. It only charges the battery. The TV recognizes the HDMI-Port i plugged the MHL cable into, but when i change the source to it, it only shows "No Signal".
I've plugged the HDMI into TV, the Micro-USB into the Phone, and the USB into a power source.
But there is no "Media Home" popping up on the P880... nothing
Using the Unofficial CM11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551006).
Also flashed everything again, with full wipe and so on...
This is the MHL-Cable i'm using:

Same problem with same cable and other roms based on the same sources.
The only way to get it work is to flash iodak kernel 9.95 on top of the rom, mhl will work with rotation ok but after the screen turns off you won't be able to turn it on again until reboot.

flashed that kernel now... tried all HDMI ports, even tried on another TV... but still the same issue :crying:
it seems that may: i have to activate MHL anywhere in Android, the cable isn't working or the kernel is still the troublemaker...
So if MHL would work here, the "Media Home" process should pop up. Am i able to force-start that process anywhere?
Does anyone know whats the deal and how to fix it?

just tried Omni, but nothing...
i've tested a galaxy s2 yesterday, and there the cable worked like a charm... I even think now that its a hardware issue on my p880. (may the MHL-chip be broken or so).
Should i try another cable then?
Try stock.
