[Q] How to connect xperia z to bravia tv? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so on my last Sony phone it had a micro hdmi on the side for this
The bravia tv i have is a couple of years old and not one of the new ones with nfc on board, so far all ive been able to find on the net about connecting is to use nfc (only on the new bravias)
so any ideas?

Well if your TV has Wi-Fi then you can use the Screen Mirroring, which can be found under SETTINGS, XPERIA then Screen Mirroring. And if you don't have Wi-Fi enabled TV then you may need to buy a MHL adaptor to connect with a HDMI cable like you did with previous phones.

My bravia hx855 has Wi-Fi but mirroring AFAIK is supported only via miracast, without that you can only use "throw" function....

my bravia is a few years old and dose not have wifi allthough i think you can buy a dongle/adapter for it..would need to look into that, would prefer an option to be able to sit in the chair and send the content to the tv rather than using a cable.
What about wireless streamers like roku etc, anyway to use that?

I have a similar old TV, but it's connected to my PS3 - I throw to the PS3, it displays on the TV.
You can also use an MHL cable to HDMI wire.

Make sure you are switched to the right HDMI port, I know my TV has a few of them
Then try a different cable.

[Q] HDMI adapter issue (MHL)

Hi,
I just received an OEM Micro USB to HDMI adapter today.
I connected my Note to the adapter and then to the HDMI cable of my TV.
Unfortunately there is no HDMI signal on the TV side.
Now, I don't know howto activate TV output on the Note. I don't even know if that's possible.
Can anyone guide me on how to activate HDMI output on the Galaxy Note ?
Should I make any settings ?
Should I play a video ? (or would it give out video from HDMI even at home screen ?)
Should I power the phone and/or the HDMI adapter through USB ?
Thanks.

Connect HDMI cable to MHL adapter, and other end into TV. (duh...)
Plug your charger cable into the MHL adapter. (output won't work without this)
Plug your MHL adapter into Note. (no configuring required!)
Everything you do on your Note will be mirrored on your TV/Screen, at the Note's native 1280x800 resolution. Plain and simple!
Video's that are played via the MHL adapter will be played at their own native resolution, up to and including 1080p.
Enjoy!
thank you.
it doesn't work unfortunately.
maybe my adapter is not working but it passes power through USB.
how can I understand if it really doesn't pass HDMI ?

It's possible that you have a faulty adapter. It should just be plug and play, but you have to make sure that the adapter is receiving external USB power in order for it to work.
ok; it works now.
the micro USB connector was not fully connected...
thanks.
Similar issue
Hi, me to facing similar issue. The MHL adapter when connected does not show any notification on the screen. The only thing it does is charging the phone. Does it mean its a faulty adapter?

and what rom and kernel are you on ?
I'm on stock running ICS and I get funky results, sometimes it works for a minute or two sometimes just a few seconds. The problem seems to be on the TV, a Sony Bravia, the HDMI setting has to be Wide for picture quality (it has zoom, smart zoom, wide, 16:9 and 4:3) but as soon as there is some glitch in receiving data from the phone the TV begins to scroll through those settings to regain a signal and I can't force a setting on wide for the HDMI connector, only for one of the SCART connectors.
The frustrating part is that it works flawlessly when I connect an Asus Transformer. Could it be the MHL's USB connector? If that is the case how can I check it?

Just in case anyone relooks this up.
Connect everything. Then REBOOT PHONE/NOTE. The TV will then detect it auto.
Hope this helps someone !!
It didnt help me... my sony bravia 32" tv just wont show the gnote's video. the same adapter works fine on my samsung 32" tv but not on the sony. I have even upgarded the sony tv's firmware too. tried changing to "Wide Zoom" settings and other things but still no video showing, although the tv does know there is something plugged in to HDMI port 1.
Anyone else got ideas?
Samsung doesn't like sony!

lol, just don't try that any sony device to work together with another samsung device, this is a general rule for electronic trademarks.
*Frankly my friend, I lost a complete day trying my sony ericcson bt handset to work with my note, no success at all, so, I just bought a samsung one and everything gone well.
that sux, bluetooth is a standard and im sure there are no variants... they are cheap, so i will buy another one from ebay and see if it is bcos of the adpater and not the TV.

This did help me using a Galaxy Note and a cheap no-name MHL adapter I bought of eBay. Had it connected to the HDMI input on my Dell WFP3008 monitor.

[Q] Sound over MHL

Hello,
I have found an MHL to HDMI adapter and I was able to connect the Xperia T to my TV (Strange enough my Bravia TV from 2009 does not support HDCP so I connected to an old LG with 720p - Why this connection needs HDCP? Only Sony knows). The issue that I have with this LG TV is that sound is still played by the phone speaker. Can I set the sound to go via HDMI in the TV?
Thanks,

Sound over HDMI works for me. I have the official Sony TV dock.

[Q] MHL and screen mirroring

Hi, We all know that Xperia SP has screen mirroring feature and we can connect using MHL. It works fine on SONY Bravia TVs. My home has a full HD ONIDA LCD TV. It has 2 HDMI ports. If I connect, my phone to this TV using MHL to HDMI adapter, can I see phone screen on the TV? Give some more points about screen mirroring and MHL features of SONY phones with TVs other than SONY.

I have used MHL "TV Out" with MHL to HDMI adapter with Sharp and Samsung TV.
MHL it's not Screen Mirroring. Its two others features. First use MHL Adapter to send signal to TV. Second one. Use NO CABLE (wifi?) connection to display screen on other SONY devices (which support it).
No progblem with MHL at all, but....
First - My MHL adapter needs a little more power than standard SPs charger. With standard charger from SP my phone disconnects sometimes. Recconections after about 10 sec. With another charger (1A/5,1V) works perfect. Airplane mode on and I can play GTA:SA for hours
Second - phone charge veeeeery slow when connected to TV. About 5%/h :S

No not really...
MHL is just another name for Slimport. And it depends a lot on device support, many older devices have a true Mini HDMI port while newer models add slimport support to their USB port that can be plugged into a TV with the proper Slimport adapter.

i meant if phone already support MHL
I use Xperia Z1, its rooted and now it support screen mirroring but MHL is lagless, perfect for playing games especially if you have wireless game controller

Doesn't change the answer as far as the CCast is concerned....
the USB port is really only used for Powering the device under stock conditions and while I assume it might be possible to add MHL support to a Custom rom for Rooted units at this point none of that exists.
CCast is not really a display adapter it is a media device that is more like a browser on a stick.
Once booted the CCast can only communicate and get data via WiFi and thats where the lag comes from.
That said games written specifically for the CCast work differently as the game runs natively on the CCast and you control it via wireless which reduces the lag since very little bandwidth is needed and all the data intensive work is done on the device where WiFi and latency can't affect it.
But so far most games for CCast are very rudimentary I think your looking or Graphic intensive games that normally play on the mobile device...
I think the best you will from those types regarding CCast support is a Observer view where some can watch the action happening on the mobile device but where delay and lag doesn't affect the player.
You are better off and pretty much resigned to using cables for true live update.
