What tv have you got?

Have you plugged in other smartphones or tablets via mhl or micro hdmi onto the same tv?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brambizimski:
Tried it on a KDL-55HX820 and a KDL-40W5500 , i don't have any other smartphones or tablets who support MHL though (i think). Please note this is just a cable, without a charger or anything.

I'm also getting an error when connecting to KDL-55HX820, and this is definitely a HDCP capable screen.

^^^ All MHL working like this, charge while send HDMI signal in the same time...

the only difference between 5 and 11 pins MHL's is that with the 11 pins MHL you can use both the HDMI and also connect a USB device ( like a mouse or controller ) to the device... with the 5 pins, you can't, USB or HDMI... if you want a mouse, keyboard or a controller go for bluetooth...

for Short

5 pins MHL

- HDMI output

- Charging

11 pins MHL

- HDMI output

- USB OTG functionality

- Charging

all Xperia's uses only 5 pins MHL, and the 11 pins MHL is not compatible with 5 pins, so you can't use S3 or Note 2 MHL adapter with any Xperia ( or even with other 5 pins MHL Samsung devices like Galaxy S2 )...

BTW, AFAIK the 11 pins MHL is not a standard approved by MHL consortium, while the MHL standard does not have a standard plug and you can't use whatever plug you want, the current standard implementation of MHL only uses MHL signal over standard 5 pins USB plug... it's the most wildly used implementation now...

If you remember the older Docks used to have both USB and HDMI ports in the back side, the Sony updated that dock to remove the USB port, that's because you can't use both ports in the same time with the 5 pins implementation of MHL...

Theoretically If Sony still have the microHDMI then they will be able to have this HDMI + USB OTG + Charging at the same time as the microHDMI has more pin counts ( 19 pins ) so it will be enough for all these things, but microHDMI is not physically compatible with microUSB so they can't use it alone and will require special cable ... and it's hard to have both plugs after they got rid from the microHDMI in 2011 devices... thought it was very nice as there was no need for an MHL adapter !!

I bought other one and works fine but the phone is slower, not very slow but slower. It is easy to check it when you run a modern game . And I can't use the mhl cable without connect it to the power one.

Are these issues normal?

Thank you.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niddnet:
The latter is normal, yes - I think it's actually part of the MHL standard, that it requires external power to work.

As for your display lag, I'll have to check with my cheap MHL cable and see what results I get - I just have to find it first!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benziii:
I will try with the "m490" htc type i bought for my one x a year ago later today and report back.

This is one of the few trumph cards my old O3D had with the micro hdmi.

Off course even if the hdmi cable was included, it was bulkier to carry around.

On the other hand it didn't need external power.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incodnita:
Thank you both!

I'm waiting for someone that can report his experience with the MHL :cyclops:

It seems that the framerate is the half one if you are using the MHL.

As I've posted this in the Xperia z cases and covers...

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.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incodnita:
Very thank you!!! I've read your post in both threads haha

So the problem happens with all cables? Very bad Sony... I never like MHL, miniHDMI is better I think. I hope we can solve this problem because we have a very power device and this isn't normal...

hdmi + usb dongle

Is there a way to connect hdmi and usb at the same time? I want use xperia z with external display and wireless keyboard with usb dongle, but I can't find an mhl-adapter with usb input. Samsung mhl has only power micro usb input. I'm afraid of using bluetooth keyboard, because it may problematic work with wifi together. Anyone has tried this? Earlier versions of xperias have been easier in this context.

You have to use both, the MHL adapter for the HDMI and an OTG cable to connect the usb device to the micro usb input on the adapter.

You plug 5 into phone charging port.

Plug hdmi into 1 and the other end into the tv.

Then plug into no. 3 the usb charger and the other end into a power point or the tv's usb port to power it all. :thumbup:

No usb otg (on the go) cable required

And cannot be used simultaneously I'm pretty sure.

If someone got it to work photo or didn't happen :p

Edit -

Plug the otg between no. 3 or 5 with a usb hub? Maybe?

Make sure the hub has power running to it too

I don't know trial and error good luck

Why not using wireless keyboard, never had issue using bluetooth and wifi at the same time.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalray:
i just bought myself an ASUS VS278Q 1080p Monitor for the Bedroom, mainly for watching Movies in 1080p over UPNP/DLNA with the Xperia Z.

Movies are running great, even with DTS Sound over Twonky Server (PC), BubbleUPNP (Xperia Z) and MX Player (Xperia Z).

The only Problem i got is that with the MHL Adpapter (bought one from ebay for Xperia Z) the ASUS Monitor only switches to 720p Mode when connected through HDMI, although Audio is played through the Monitor Audio Out.

Does the MHL Adapter only support 720p Mode ?

The Asus Monitor supports a lot of Resolutions incl. 1920x1080 50 Hz and 60 Hz.

So is it the MHL Adapter ?

I already ordered the original Sony IM 750 MHL Adapter and hope to get a 1080p picture on the ASUS Screen then.

Anyone got any Experience with that situation that only 720p Mode will show up on the Monitor ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalray:
today i got the original Sony IM750 MHL Adapter and i get the same situation.

How can i display 1080p on the ASUS Monitor with this Adapter ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
5pin or it won't work

If it doesn't have a power connector then you can use it only with displays listed somewhere at www.mhlconsortium.org or www.mhlconsortium.com and nothing else.

If it has a power connector then it will work output video/audio on any HDMI enabled device if possible. (some projectors don't have speakers so no sound obviously).

Phone won't lose power unless you plug in a charger that is actually able to charge the phone.

Example:

USB from PC outputs only 500mA if it's not 3.0 so the phone will discharge because it draws way more power than 500mA

Stock chager outputs 1.5A so it will charge the phone because it's using less power than 1.5A

Try playing very demanding game hardware-wise on full brightness charging via built in USB in your computer. Phone will discharge if your port has USB 2.0 or lower without any modifications - some manufacturers of motherboards have a few "power usb" ports that output more than 500mA - in my PC it's in the back so thanks for that. -.-

As for the quality - no idea :)

My z1 also outputs 720p using no-name chinese MHL adapter with sound. Will try to solve this if it's not the adapter.

Answered because if you google "z1 mhl only 720p" it leads you to this site in the first google page.

i bought a sony tv kdl32w655a and now i get 1080p.

seems the mhl adapter or the xperia z smartphones only work correctly with a sony tv ;)

i tried it on a different tv, too , a LG TV and i get 1080p output but the LG TV says 720p. it's confusing.

all i know is, buy a sony smartphone, a sony MHL adapter and a sony tv and it work, anything else and it get's messed up.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
Thanks for your input. Few years ago I bought a budget 22" full HD display for my PC so my phone has way better display in terms of every single colour, but I'm not swimming in money so I can't afford a new one. I'm into things like PC components so my PC display is fine for me. Buying specifically Sony display isn't an option for me. I'm into getting i5 4670k and R9 290/X and a new mobo to upgrade my PC atm and I'll probably get an SSD and a new case later so yeah. :P

How can you tell that the LG TV did actually output 1080p image when it said 720p?

I could tell it by looking at the phones UI like icons and text that my output wasn't 1080p and my monitor just made me sure of that.

I'd also like other people with MHL adapters to post their experience because unfortunately I'm not able to buy Rocketfish adapter because nobody sells it in Poland + any shipping under 15$ will get me the goods in about one month...

Same error occurs in my xperia z1 too. it connects in 720p mode only with my BenQ TV.

On calling sony local support, they told me it cannot be changed via software at present in mobile. They also asked me check with TV manufacturer whether any setting can be changed to enable full hd.

i own a blackberry z10 too. it has a mini hdmi port and it works like a charm. There is separate setting in z10 to choose the connecting mode like 1080p/60hz or 1080p/50hz or 720p.Sony should actually incorporate a setting like this.

you found any solution? as the source code of firmware is available, can any one modify the source code and let it happen?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
All I could ever find is the service menu which wouldn't allow me to change the resolution as my display showed up as "unknown" or something like that. It has to be used with Sony displays or it simply won't send 1080p resolution, which is gay.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cormar16:
On the setting menu I get 5 formats. 1080p at 24hz and 30hz. 720p at 60hz and couple of lower screen sizes at 60hz. When I connect in lower frames, it connects perfectly. When I try to connect in 1080p, it defaults to 720p.

I wonder whether it has to do with 24hz or 30hz. Need to check my TV supports 1080p at 24 or 30hz. I was connecting z10, ps3, xbox at 60 hz only.

Anyway its crap Sony doesn't have 1080p at 50 or 60hz which seems to be the standard. Also, if we can put 60hz option by modifying firmware, that needs to be looked after. For its flagship phone, Sony missed a trick or two.

This cable that you have on image, is typical microUSB/MiniUSB video cable for older cameras, not phones. I think I have somewhere such cable that I got with old camera.

Little suggestion.

Seeing all that boot.img popping up like boot_repacked and it's unclear what it is.

So it will always be clear what it is and where for.

Also perhaps someone is willing to maintain a all in one repacked kernel thread with all repacked kernels for different roms in one spot?
