So I bought recently a nokia 75u cable for my SGS to see what's happening on phone on my 10 year old TV.
The single problem I encountered is that the subtitles which I can on Galaxy, are not showing on TV. I've tried LOTS of player and the only who shows the subtitles on TV is Vplayer, but using this app, the subtitles are not so pretty on TV and more importantly, it has some kind of lag (very annoying).
Any suggestions in this direction?
So I picked up one of the HD docks from Amazon. I am using it at work and when trying to play Netflix I get no video on the screen. I hear the audio just fine but for the life of me I can not get the video to play.
If I undock it and go back in to netflix it plays just fine. Any thoughts?
the dock is not connected to any monitors or tv, just trying to get video to play on the phone while I am at my desk. Also doing the same thing with Hulu. So I am assuming there is some setting maybe?
try disabling the hdmi setting under system settings/display/HDMI Settings.
Hi there!
I was wondering if anyone has any idea why my phone wont play videos or sound through mhl hdmi on tv?
Menus and pictures works fine, but when I try to play a video it plays it on phone but TV screen just turns dark, and hdml connection doesn't work any more until I reconnect the usb again.
I have; Xperia T running cyanogenMod 10.2.0-mint (4.3.1 android).
(so far I tried playing music, opening any videos with default player and mx player, on all those hdmi connection hangs. (black screen on tv but keeps on playing on phone).
Any help ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Hi my question is is there a player except localcast which allows me to stream videos on my tv via chromecast but let the audio play from my phone? i searched a lot of websites but could not find anything hope someone can help me here
I could see this being possible by running a UPnP server on the Chromecast and diverting/mirroring the audio through that. I think you'd probably need a rooted Chromecast to do it at this stage though (which I don't have).

I actually got that to happen accidentally while testing casting from Chrome Beta on the phone. I started a Vimeo video playing on the phone, switched to full screen, clicked the Chromecast icon, the video loaded on the Chromecast and started playing, the phone screen switched to control playing on the Chromecast - but the audio continued on the phone. That didn't happen when I stopped and started again, only the first time.
I purchased the Turbo yesterday, there are many things I like but Cast Screen to my Samsung 2014 Smart TV is horrible, the videos are choppy and not worth watching at all, even something as basic as pictures is also pixelated and slow, my wife has Galaxy Note 3 with native Screen Mirroring feature and so does the TV and it works perfectly. Any suggestions or help to get my new Turbo to play smooth videos and pictures on my TV would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Has anybody used the Cast Screen feature at all? Any feedback is greatly appreciated..... continued, I tried WiFi direct; at first it would not even connect to my Samsung 2014 Smart TV, after much frustration I changed the wifi frequency on theTurbo from Auto to 2.4 gigahertz and it connected. My happiness was very short lived, my TV requires for WiFi direct to work that I install a Samsung app. called Smart View 2.0...which cannot be installed on the Turbo; it is not compatible.
I no longer expect that I will receive a reply here that will help me but at least I can be of some help to those sitting on the fence whether to buy a Turbo: If playing your videos from your phone on your TV is VERY important to you: Do Not buy the Turbo, if having a WiFi Hotspot without paying Verizon for double dipping is very important to you: Do Not buy the Turbo. If battery life, performance, reception, storage ( I have the 64 gb model) and overall good feel and looks matters most to you: BUY the Turbo. Good Luck
I can cast NHL Gamecenter to my Samsung TV with no stutter at all. I even have a crappy internet connection. I haven't tried any other videos, but photos are tack sharp. No idea why you might be having issues.
I also can cast Netflix or Slingplayer from the phone to my TV, works ok but it is also silly since my TV has Netflix built-in and Slingplayer plays my own TV channels, the problem I am having is with Screen MIrroring, that is what Samsung calls it, Motorola calls it Cast Screen, when I project my phone unto the TV screen the results are very poor, Videos are choppy and pictures load very, very slowly, when my wife connects her Samsung Note 3 to the TV the results are flawless, no lag, videos on her phone play in full 55" splendor perfectly, with the Turbo it is a terrible experience.
I was hoping someone here could try to play their own phone videos on their big screen HDTV and report back on results or better yet help me to get better results with my Turbo.

I don't know if my experience is helpful because I have a Sony Xperia Z3v and a LG Smart TV. I have much better success with screen mirroring (Miracast) when I have my phone connected to my 5GHz N channel of my router. If I use 2.4GHz, I get similar results as you or it won't connect at all.
Thanks for the comeback, I have a 2.4 gigahertz router so it is my only option, What I notice is a distinct difference in quality between my wife's Note 3 and my Turbo. It may be that since my TV is Samsung and so is my wife's phone, they are optimized for each other. In other words Motorola and Samsung don't like each other. Thanks again.
UPDATE: For reasons I cannot explain Screen Mirroring or Cast Screen from my Turbo to my HDTV is working perfectly and smoothly, I have the exact same hardware and software that worked terrible for the first 3 days of Turbo ownership, maybe I was not holding my mouth just right... now only one thing keeping me from the Perfect Turbo experience: I still have no WiFi Hotspot so I will have to hope an app. is developed that works without root or paying Verizon for double dipping.

Has your performance still sucked? I have a Motorola Turbo and Samsung H7150 and my screen mirroring is horrible.
Screen Cast
I'm using Microsoft's Wireless Display Adaptor and I'm unable to stream Netflix. I get audio,but no video. Anybody else having the same problem? Thanks
I have the Motorola Droid Turbo 2 and I have similar issues with casting my screen to two different Sony HDTV's. Videos from my phone drive will play choppy sound while projecting pixelated chunks of video to the TV. Netflix plays sound but completely refuses to show any video. I will try setting my phone wifi frequency to 5GHz and see. My friend can cast his Samsung with no problem. Might be time to just get an HDMI hookup.
