What's the best solution for connecting your Z1 to a tv? Say I'm at a hotel and want to play a movie I have on my phone on the big screen. That's one example. I have a Sony HX750 and they don't seem to be compatible, unfortunately.
So what's the best way of connecting the Z1 to a tv? I see surprisingly no discussion about this.
IM750?

Thanks for anyone that has any feedback on this. I thought hdmi output on the Z1 was gonne be simple!

Any one find a good working Sony Xperia Z1 Micro-USB To HDMI cable?
I've used a original HTC "m490" mhl cable i bought for the hox a couple years back. Works wonders. But I guess anyone would do as long as it's not bought at the dollar store.

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?

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.
Mhl hdmi?
I has already heard wasn't possible but then I saw a site selling it saying normal cables like the one I use to connect to TV with my sgs2 wouldnt work because HTC uses ext-mhl rather than just mhl(dont ask me) so I bought it. Looks like original HTC cable but it doesnt do the trick. went back to stock and what not. No difference. It aint going to happen is it? Ics maybe?
(apologize.in advance.if.theres.another.thread.but.i.just.couldn't find.it)
Cheers!

The razr i has only got a micro usb port you probably know...
Somewhere i heard it would be possible via an adapter to get hdmi signal out of this port...
Can soneone guide me to one of those adapters or is one already shipped with the device?

One is not shipped with the device, but if the USB does support HDMI out that would be fun to try for inclusion in other mods.
You'll need to know if the razr i is MHL compliant. If not you should not be able to have HMDI output on the microUSB.
If so, you'll just need a MHL adaptator, something like this:

EDIT: Cancelled.
Apparently it doesn't work on the M, so I'd be surprised if it worked on the i. It will be cool if it does, though.
it does haves a dock app do ,and somewhere in manual and info papers that comes with the phone, you can read several statements that point to a dock port

Hi Robert,
Do you own a PS3, XBox or Apple Tv????
The reason I ask is because if you download app called 'DoubleTwist' from google play store this consolidates all of your music and videos into one application instead of having seperate apps for each.... Once you have this downloaded and all your content on you can download there paid app called 'AirTwist' for double Twist.
once you have these 2 seetings you can wirelessly send your videos and music over any wifi network to a Playstation 3, Apple Tv or Xbox and no need to have cables lying round and probably costs the same if not less than buying the cable!
Hope this helps and if so please don't forget to press the Thanks Button on the left under my user name

As I've posted in the Sony Xperia z cases and covers thread...
Ok so tried the Samsung mhl cable (for the s2)
And Works with the Xperia z.
Tv launcher loads Works fine, so does the home screen. BUT it somewhat lags scrolling through them.
Where as the Xperia s with micro hdmi Works great and smoothly.
I've tried full hd/ 1080p videos; they all run smoothly on the Xperia z via mhl
Also you must plug it into a usb port (for charging) or plug the usb into your tv for the mhl to work
Refer to pic below.
I think there is an issue with the mhl cable (compatibility maybe) or it could be an issue with tv launcher/Home screen app
Who knows maybe Sonys mhl will work better.

What i did is, removed EC21 cable from Sony dock Dk31; the only genuine solution it is if you want original cable
Check here how i removed it - http://www.xperiaguide.com/2013/10/...ging-dock-dk31-dk30-xperia-z1-xperia-z-ultra/

That line was quoted from the official dk31 guide from sony.
I guess usb port of pc will not give same charge as ac adapter. Ac adapter gives 1.5A so fast charge than usb port of pc.
So for fast charge use AC adapter only.
Took 2.30 hours via ec21 cable to charge my z1
