How can I change the resolution the handy is providing on the MHL port?
I need SVGA for my HMD, but my phone is currently giving out its native screen resolution.

Unfortunately you can't...
Sent from my LG-P880
Is it not possile due to hardware limitations?
or is it only a software limitation, and some custim rom might fix this?
I think there is an option somewhere in the hidden menu settings
There is an option for full hd in the hidden menu but it does not work.

I don't want full HD, I want SVGA.
there is an option for normal VGA and it works.
So its software, so it should be possible to get it also to output SVGA?
isnt there the setting in the hidden menu for 720p - which is 1280x720 resolution.. usually its the refresh rate that becomes a problem for some monitors

No, the device I want to connect it to is a ultra low power Monocular Head Mounted Display, it can display only its native resolution [email protected] nothing else.
i see, so it would be around 800x600 resolution that you require at the 60hz, as far as i know its not possible, but i cannot say im 100% correct, sorry i couldnt be more of an help
i hope you find a solution and best of luck

Did the VGA option in the hidden menu HDMI test page work?

The option worked as fas as it really set [email protected],
but failed in the regard that my HMD needs [email protected] and cant scale any other resolution.
Hi guys, I'm sorry if this has been discussed in another thread, but I've been digging into this for about 2 hours now, and found nothing. I have a backup galaxy s advance, that I recently flashed with a cm 11 rom, and I'm not sure, but I'm under the impression that before with 4.1.2 stock, I could watch 480p videos on youtube, now the maximum resolution is 360p, and it's kinda pixelated. My question is....stock, is 360p the maximum resolution supported ? Also, is there any mod/fix whatever that can force youtube to go to 480p ? From my limited knowledge a 800x480 display should be 480p compatible, but please correct me if I'm wrong I've tried to modify the pixel density from build prop, but with no effect. Any help would be much appreciated
somewhere on the internet I read that Youtube does this restriction when you use HDMI connection to the screen.
I used to have very nice HD streaming for long time but after one of the app updates it is restricted, nothing else changed. I tried even to compare how it looks on my laptop. same video is showing full hd on laptop while on android it shows 360p max.
so by the experience I have it is definitely youtube app which restricts the options!!!!!!!
On stock (and stock based roms) you can watch 480p videos.
On KitKat you can't.
But you could try alternative apps like this one for 720p videos.
ALSO you can use this module in XPOSED called YOURTUBE you can change the resolution of the playing video ( i have not used it myself but the dev has mensioned it in module info)
Thanks for the suggestions guys
After upgrade nougat L19c185b361 . the function of reduce power consume - low resolution 720p don't work after i do sticked on the button .
Anyone know this bug ? Or did i wrong manipulate ?
Thanks
probably obvious but I will ask anyway, have you tried rebooting since turning that setting on?

I already rebooted after setting it on. But no effect.
Got question for you.... how do you know this is not working? I remember trying this out back on EMUI 4.1.1 and and on other phones and I generally dont see a difference between 1080p and 720p however, I did see a difference between qHD and 720p.
Also, lowering screen resolution helps with FPS in games but its been proven that it barely makes a difference in battery saving.

I suppose OP know the option is not working because he still can capture screenshot in 1080p.
In Marshmallow, ROG Power Saving option will make the system run at 720p at all time.
So, when you capture a screenshot or do screen recording, pictures and videos will be in 720p.
I've noticed, from OP's screenshot, the description is now changed to "Lower the screen resolution as required". I guess, in Nougat, resolution will only be lowered when the system determines it should be.
OP should try playing heavy 3D GPU-intensive games and see whether screen resolution changed to 720p.
I need someone who have devices running on nougat b360/361 to confirm this function ( 720p resolution) working like Marshmallow 6.0 or no.
Thanks
I am on B360 and for me this function doesn't work like it was on 6.0 (for example you can see the difference in size of Viber's stickers- in 6.0 when 720p is active, stickers are bigger. Also the apps icons are more grainy. That's not the case in 7.0 ).
It's working. When you launch an heavy app, the low resolution is active. I can see a difference in Clash Royale

Hmmm maybe it only applies for games? Kinda make sense since this is where the majority of power saving will come from if you take the wording "As required".
To be honest if it work only in 3D games its actually useless a bit.
I was changing resolution and DPI all the time with my older devices(only reason why i root my phones today) and even when you use browser or watch videos, changing res to 720 give HUGE battery boost. Actually when playing game beside performance boost, battery life is not that different compared to default 1080.
Im still in 6.0(Poland and Spain still dont have update to 7.0) and after changing res to 720 I can easily get 2 days of heavy video watch + browser and its still left with 15-25%. With default 1080 I could get maybe day and half before battery hit 15%
So if it change res only when launching "heavy app/game" beside performance boost it will not give much for battery. When I was sick few weeks ago I spend whole week playing with that setting so I have some comparison of how it work on P9.
Also to check your resolution you just need to look at "phone info" in settings or just install one of many small apps that check/change res of screen.
It's work on B361. See how the font resolution is changed. You must be blind not to see this right after press the button.
Same here. Worked with MM. Do not work with B378.

1: True.
2: Only rooted
Just tested with B378. Checked by screenshot(res of picture it take) and by app that check resolution(root is needed only for changing res, for checking it work without it), and also by looking at res info in settings->phone informations
I though maybe its work only if power saving mode is turned on? NOPE
Maybe it work only if Power Saving is on, and battery is bellow 50%? still NOPE
Maybe it work only with really, really heavy 3D games? NOPE
Maybe it need some additional setting like forcing GPU rendering in programming settings? NOPE
Maybe it need reset? NOPE tried everytime.
It doesnt even touch DPI, because via programming options->set minimal width I set it to 420DPI so Im allergic to any changes and I see if its different.
So overall, yeah, it doesnt work and need to be reported to Huawei. I will later do that but it would be better if more people do the same.
low res not working for me - B378

I get last post wrong. But anyway I send report to Huawei and I would recommend that to everyone else, so maybe they notice and fix it quicker.
My phone's resolution is 540×960 and my TV's resolution is 1080×1920. The picture looks extremely bad in the TV. Is there a way to get better quality in the TV? Also the response time is almost half second. Can I reduce it somehow? For video it's not much of a problem but for browsing and games, it's frustrating
Thanks in advance
Edit: I use ClockworkMod's "Screen Recording and Mirror" and "AllCast receiver"

There's an app called second screen on the play store. It lets you boot your device using another screen resolution. Root required. :good:

I tried it and it looks even worse. I noticed that for some reason things looks better if I zoom
Hi, I just bought a new note 9, and everything is fine except a few glitches and the biggest pain in the ass, the YouTube app. I've tried changing the phone resolution settings, going back to default setting and resetting the phone , but I'm unable to get more number of options in the YouTube app than 144, 360 and 720. Even 480 is not available for some reason
Please help.

Which version of the phone do you have? And is it on wifi?
That's happened to me, but changing screen res fixed it. Strange

I'm not a big YouTuber but I have noticed certain videos only let you select certain resolutions. My guess is it depends on the aspect ratio and quality and resolution of the original video. That's only my guess but on my Note 9 Snapdragon 6GB/128GB model using the stock YouTube application certain videos only allow me to select certain resolutions.
Try a video you are sure should be available at a higher res if you Havnt. Search 1080p test video on YouTube. If it won't work change phone res to max & retry then. Last of all check in developer menu and set "minimum width" to 411 and keep phone display at max then try. If not I'm lost. Give us as much info as you can. Maybe clear YouTube data & cache then try again, this will set YouTube back to factory/new state.
I'm able to get 144, 240, 360, 480, 720, 1080, and 1440. Stock AT&T Note 9, using max screen resolution.

Thank a lot man! The developers option trick worked like a charm
