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.

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.
This is a Samsung product will probably work with GS3 too. Anyways anyone looking for dock this is what every dock should be.

Actually, it looks like it has 3 USB ports, not 2, which seems great, definitely the best accessory for a Note 2 user, can't wait to see someone review it.

This dock looks amazing. One question I have is whether the USB/hdmi ports will work without the dock being plugged in to a wall/computer.
Which model of GN2, and how did you get it and the dock for so little?
THanks!

I work for walmart so I get a 25% discount on accessories from verizon, I just got the 16gb version so I saved 25$ because of my discount
I wonder if the HDMI out will work without having to connect it to a power source.

This looks amazing. I had to order one. I wonder if the HDMI out allows you to display the entire screen like the droid bionic would.
I really want to be able to browse the internet and type documents on a tv with a wireless mouse and keyboard.
Does this have a spot for an extra battery to charge in the back there?

I recently ordered a Pioneer AppRadio2 and have ARLiberator installed on my Note II. Waiting for the radio to come in from Amazon.
Does anyone have experience with the AppRadio with the ARLiberator on the Note II?
How does it run? Is it smooth? Is it worth it?
Thanks!:good:
I have this combo and it is excellent. Pioneer should be paying the dev of arliberator as it is way better than the garbage that pioneer offers!

Do you have to install a brake bypass switch for it work?
I got the appradio 2 its awsome with the note II you have to buy the adapter for the mhl cable or it wont work or just buy a compatible mhl cable but yea I love it in my wifes car.
I installed the brake bypass... worth the 15-20 dollars.. otherwise you have to toggle the ebrake for video. Simple 3 wire connection

For some reason, I left my brake wire unconnected and it works just fine without any warnings when I hook up my phone either immediately before or after the Head Unit turns on. However, if i were to hook up my phone some time after the AppRadio has been turned on, then it will show me the warning screen. So I left it unconnected and just hook up my phone immediately. My AppRadio 2 is a US version too.

Oh, one other thing is I have to have ARLiberator and Bluetooth ready for a connection as well.
Have a new gs3 and i rooted it. I will download ARLIberator once the head unit see the phone. Bought the android pieoner cable, had cable installed by BestBuy (which is where i bought the head unit and had it install by them) and then went and bout gs3 cause of all the reviews. Only thing that works is my phone charging, unit do see phone. Any help would be great..

Go to samsung site or newegg and buy the 5 to 11 pin mhl adapter. Don't buy from ebay as you may get a fake unit and end up with snow issues.
S3 and note 2 needs 11 pin and the pioneer android kit uses 5 pin mhl.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Or just return that pioneer cable which costs way too much and just buy the Samsung 11 pin mhl adapter and any hdmi cable. It's way cheaper and you can get the official Samsung adapter from the Samsung site with the 50% coupon.
the pioneer kit doesn't work with the s3 is cause its a 5 pin when the s3 needs an 11 pin.
Thank u for reply. My pioneer cord is already install and i got it for $35 off Amazon. Do u have a link for the adaptor? With that adaptor my phone will work and charge at same time? Also wondering what a tasker app does and which one do i download? I heard that the tasker will do everything once phone is plugged in and turn off screen too. I plan on plugging in and putting phone in compartment out of site. Again thank you for taking time to answer the other questions and now these if u can..

Its currently out of stock though.. try checking samsung site for the same item.
As for tasker, im using it but it didn't work too well with turning the screen off. Once in a while the screen turns on. Other tasks work ok tho.
You can try downloading tasker and screen off apps and search around how to use tasker to toggle screen off.

I bought two Samsung mhl called one from Amazon one from eBay. Gave me snow every 5 seconds. So video was cutting out as well as audio. Bought one from Samsung and tried it with the identical issue. Ps they are all 11 pin. The hdmi cable is good and bought it from mono price. Anyone have any suggestions.

I use an appradio2 in my car in conjunction with my note 2, I am using an allshare cast dongle so theres zero wires. Everything remains in my glove box.
Boo, my bh-8400bt doesn't have a hdmi port in the back I believe, but it does support app radio capabilities on iOS.
30 more then I planned but if it really works. Wish i had known about it, could have saved me 30 by not ordering pioneer android cable...

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.
