This subject is being killed all over the forums in different threads. The hdmi is being toggled for different apps like webtop or media. The config is the other part that supports the hdmi app service options. We have dumped the apk into smalli and have confirmed this.

There is devs working on webtop without dock and it maybe beneficial to combine these efforts to support display mirroring... just a thought
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ANDY12001:
Any updates on this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leadguy68:
There is no need for dedicated mirroring now that you can launch the webtop without the dock.

You can run mobile view full screen once you launch webtop.... and alas, you have HDMI mirroring.

Mods: You can lock this thread.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ANDY12001:
Can i just run mirroring?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
Well thats not fully correct, if you launch a app that has on screen buttons like games or emulators..you cant use or play them using the phone as these dont show up on phone.

so we could still do with mirroring for atrix
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Immix:
As of now the best solution is to do what leadguy68 suggested. I don't think any dev is working on it. It is just not worth it since what you want to accomplish can be done with just one additional mouse click after enabling webtop.

If I am wrong and any devs are still working on this, please ignore this thread, otherwise it is prudent to close this thread. Or maybe OP can state this in the first post so that people stop asking about HDMI mirroring.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] link12245:
I think it's dumb to end a thread because YOU aren't interested in something. I think it'd be a damn good idea to get mirroring running. The webtop mirror is laggy, and I want to play a real game of angry birds on a 100" screen, lol. Keep the work up, if anyone is working on it. I'll keep trying on my end to get it working.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ranova:
exactly. mirroring is still highly sought after. Like another said earlier, for people who want to run emulators, you're sol with the webtop, theres no onscreen buttons AND you cant use your wii-mote while in webtop mode.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] theoski:
Agreed. Still very much needed for games. Web top game emulation is laggy.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] link12245:
The new n64 emulator would be awesome to have. You could bring a couple of wii-motes and have a party!

+1 for needing HDMI mirroring. The Xoom can do this, maybe the Atrix will do this in an update? Heck, the iPhone can do this now with their Digital AV Cable.

Quick n Dirty HDMI mirroring working

Hi,

so there is HDMI mirroring in that thing. As previous posters have pointed out, HDMI mirroring can be enabled in the build.prop file, but HDMI mirroring stops once the phone is booted. That is, because during the init.rc execution, at a certain stage the webtop is booted (init.rc, line 963), which in turn starts the X server, which then claims the HDMI port (how, I cannot tell).

By setting the ro.hdmi.mirror.enable property in the build.prop file to true and keeping the webtop from booting (the hard way - emptying /osh/ubuntu.sh), some basic HDMI mirroring came to live and worked after the phone was booted.

What does that leave us with?

Find a way to disable/kill the X server and either hope that renables the HDMI mirroring, or reclaim the HDMI port ourselves

Configure the HDMI framebuffer (or /sys stuff) regarding resolution, etc.

Streamline it all and put it in some nice little application

Hope someone finds something useful in this post :)

Cheers

Mirroring needed...

I agree that mirroring is needed. That was a good idea to have it as a third option once Moto releases the source and someone can dive in to make the necessary mods.

I played a few games via HDMI on the big screen while maximizing the phone screen when in Webtop but it's not the same as mirroring. On some games you need to be able to click the controls on the screen and it's not easy trying to do that through the Webtop. Some games I was able to play with my Bluetooth keyboard but not all games have key mappings and mirroring is essential for certain gaming aspects.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] clubtech:
By emptying /osh/ubuntu.sh, did HDMI mirroring stayed active once you have unlocked the phone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
nice work!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] weichel:
HDMI mirroring stayed active, even after unlocking.

It was right after I made that post, that I realized that if the webtop can be started (read, ubuntu.sh is not empty) mirroring dies after unlocking the phone.

A possible way of getting (preliminary) HDMI mirroring is:

Modify /etc/init.d/startXServer.sh to start the X server only iff a certain file is not present (introduce some sort of semaphore)

Create that certain file

Kill the running X process

Tada, HDMI mirroring!

To reenable the Webtop, simply remove that certain file and select Webtop from HDMI experience picker.

Btw. even videos played with the rockplayer work over HDMI without no noticeable lack :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ranova:
wow, emptying that file works for mirroring! Im glad you came out of no-where to find this!

I confirm that emptying ubuntu.sh enables mirroring, it runs everything at the fps it would run at if just on the phone (webtop would have fps drops) - but theres no horizontal mode that is enabled. Anyway to enable that?

weichel, please make a new thread in the development forum with your findings. It being hidden here will miss the eyes of many.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] weichel:
I just created a new thread which provides a slightly more polished solution: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988852

If anyone knows howto set certain parameters at the HDMI device (surprisingly there is no framebuffer for the HDMI port), please speak up :)

Hi,

Has anyone managed to use HTC Sync with Inspire 4G? I know this is a known issue with a number of posts on the internet, but I figured if I'd find any solution, it would be in this forum. My Inspire keeps saying it couldn't find HTC Sync on my computer.

[HTC Inspire 4G] matt_b:
i read that htcs servers were down and that was a problem. i don't use a sense rom so i can't check at the moment.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mi04se1:
I couldnt get it to work on my desktop (Win 7 X64), but I got it to work on my laptop (Vista X32).
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Thanks for the input.

I thought about trying that too. I have a laptop with Win7 32bit. If bit is the problem, it could work. If Win7 is the problem, then it won't. But, either way, I'd rather not sync my phone with my laptop as I rarely use it. I want to sync it with my main PC. Look like I'd have to wait for HTC to update its software.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mi04se1:
HTC sync might not be compatible with win 7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] struff:
It is. I have been using it for my HTC Aria since the Arias came out last summer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ask_j:
Mine is working

I have windows 7 ultimate 64bit, I downloaded HTC Sync from htc website after choosing my ph (inspire 4G), then download section. You need to disable antivirus software before installing HTC Sync.

It just worked for me. Also one more thing, when you attach your ph with computer after installing HTC Sync, you need to go to the ph, unlock it and then pull the menu from the top. Select HTC Sync, then it will show up on your computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mi04se1:
I did that like 10 times and it didnt work. I did disable antivirus before the install.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Here's what I found (for me anyway).

This is the only way my Inspire recognized HTC Sync:

1. Make sure Inspire is NOT connected to your computer

2. Run HTC Sync on your computer

3. Connect Inspire and select HTC Sync mode

If my Inspire was connected already and switching from other modes such as Charge Only, it never found HTC Sync on my PC.

BUT, THAT'S NOT ALL. After sync, I discovered that HTC Sync failed to sync everything I told it to. Only some random music and video files were synced for some reason.

To me, it seems still rather buggy, so I'm gonna stick with iSyncr for now.

I updated my dl_desire nand version from 3.5 to 4.1. I just found if I flashed dl_desire 4.1 directly then some thing will be wrong, e.g. I encountered com.htc.bg stopped and account of google failed etc. But If I flashed 3.5 firstly and seltted it down then after I flashed 4.1 every thing will be OK. I did not konw why.

Also I like the Droideye bootanimation so I updated the Droideye bootanimation ( update.BootAnimation.7z ) but it did not work and the boot screen was HTC screen. So why is it and how can I fix it?

Also thx you great work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jyazzie110:
Droid eye needs to be i .zip format. Once in that format rename it to bootanimation.zip and use root explorer to place it in the system/media or data/local or wherever ur old boot animation is stored. After thay reboot and ur new boot animation shud work. I hope i was helpful....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] testok3000:
I just downloaded it from the dl_desire thread and it is an update format in that rom. The system/media is a link to suquashed file system. So I just tried put it to /data/local , it dose not work also. :(

Thx much. It was solved. The animation file is put in /system/etc/customer/ folder now at dl_desire 4.1. So I made a link to /system/customize/resoure/ folder. And finnaly the red droideye appeared.

You need to change the lcd density in /system/build.prop.... Default is 240. Open that file in text editor and should look like for example, lcd density 180.

[Epic 4G General] s9ortner:
Anyone know of a hack or workaround for the piss poor volume on eb13? The alarm barely woke me up this morning.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
They lowered the volume intentionally. Some of the test phone's during beta were blowing speakers out. It has been known to happen on di18 also.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Wow really? The volume is extremely loud. They increased it a lot since DI18. It almost blows my speaker all the time.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
They tweaked the internal EQ. Some frequencies are louder, some are lower. It depends on what your listening to. I had to swap out one of my Epics that was running a dk28 rom because it blew a speaker. One of the reps in our Sprint store has gone through 2 Epics because of the blown speaker but they were both refurbs and running di18 stock.

Ya, i would say mine is louder than it was before.

[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
I feel like mine was overall quieter too. Or at least in most areas. If you go to the midnight rom thread, to pftmedic's website, and to the android developement page, youll find a CWM3 flashable zip called ViperRoms volume hack. It was for dk28, but its still compatible, because there wasnt really any code in it. Just numbers to set the volume. It worked for me.
[Epic 4G General] DangerZone1223:
Just the notification sound is quieter in EB13. It was also present in DK28. In DI18, it was about 15% louder than EB13 and DK28.
[Epic 4G General] cjobanion:
+1 on this.

Mine seemed quieter as well. The Viper Vloume Hack that pftmedic "edified" works great! Also, I have flashed quite a few of the other edify zips from his website and they (all the ones I have flashed so far) all work great with EB13!
[Epic 4G General] twolostminds:
So let me see if I can sum this up and let me know if you think I am right or wrong.

Samsung decided in its infinite wisdom to use substandard speakers in some of the build runs either to save money or because they couldn't obtain speakers from their original source. Due to this manufacturing decision they had to turn what was a pretty decent sounding phone (my phone) in to a POS with the latest software update in an effort to protect themselves from excessive warranty claims.

Overall volume is fine for me, I just wish that we could increase the notification volume sound!

Thanks for the input guys, ill try the hack you guys are talking about. Mine and my wifes alarms are about half as loud as they were before the update. Ringtones are still loud as hell though. I'm just glad I sleep light or I would have been a couple hours late this morning lol. Thanks again guys.

I have issues with the volume in EB13 for the external speaker, it seems much quieter.

The first day I got my Atrix, I put it on WiFi after going home and syncing GMail, etc. I then checked my data. To my surprise...I had downloaded 60 MB! Coming from my iPhone 3G, where I used about 50 MB/MONTH, one day of 60 MB was quite...interesting, to say the least. I am on WiFi at school, at home. I browse FB and Engadget for 1 hr on and off on the trains (where I also get WiFi at stations). I tested my data usage last month because I was hesitant about paying 70$ a month and was considering paying for the 200 MB plan, but I kept the unlimited.

So I set up another control. Yesterday, I kept my internet on--BACKGROUND OFF--and did not access any internet apps, gmail, email, what have you until I was back home and on WiFi. WiFi was kept off during the time before home. Here is the proof (friend's 3GS, my 3G is the last picture you'll see).

Yet....I still used 6MB of data (I cannot take picture of screen at time but I will update in a few hours when I can). This is not a lot, I realize. But if you consider that literally I was not using any data at all, this is quite a lot, especially multiplied by 30 days. 200 - 180 = 20 MB of data useable in the month!

Anyone getting these kind of results?

And as a bonus picture, taken the night I got my Atrix:

4G, **** YEA! (Long Island, NY. 2 Bars, connected to NY server. WiFi settings: 14/5)

QUICK EDIT: I turned off push for every email and yet...I sent an email to myself, a minute later my phone vibrated with new email? Can this be affecting my data usage?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phobos512:
What apps have you installed? Those use data also. Also, did you check sync settings outside of e-mail? There are a LOT of things that use data that are not e-mail. My phone's due to be delivered tonight so I don't have any Blur experience yet but my EVO has a section in settings called "Accounts & Sync" where you can see things that are set to sync at the system level. Individual apps can have their own settings as well - Facebook, Twitter, Photobucket, News and Weather, EBay, Fox News, App Brain, Chrome to Phone, Amazon, Amazon MP3, InstaFetch, MySpace, Google Rader, Skype, Google Talk, all can use data (just going through my EVO's app menu).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfaction:
I got mine two days ago and have only installed a few apps. Email and Gmail are the only ones that would use data...and on Email I made it NEVER update unless manual. I think this is why Android users use more data than iPhone users.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkSi08:
That's not true at all. Since you had to sign up for a motoblur account when you first set the phone up, that phones home, and there is a setting for synchronizing your data and settings with motoblur. Ensure that's off too.

Running a weather widget? News widget? Using the Forest live wallpaper? That monitors weather over the internet too. How about latitude? Picasa? Have your account setup through motoblur on Facebook? That will pull down statuses when the app isn't open, and show them in your contacts.

Point is, there are a ton of apps from the factory that utilize data, and some of the widgets run in the background even if they're not setup on your phone.

Android users use more data than iPhone users because we can do significantly more with our phones without opening applications. A 200MB plan isn't viable for an Android poweruser. The 2GB limit is just fine, though - The most data I've used was around 900MB, and that included pulling down ROMs over the air on my Captivate, etc.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNugget:
I've pulled 900MB over wifi, but only 1.35MB over network. I only let facebook sync over wifi. GMail syncs when it can (my workplace is like a bomb shelter).

Can you please tell me how to check and disable the Motoblur updating? I have no facebook apps or any of that other stuff. no weather, whatever.

I really shouldn't be flipping out but this is ridiculous, I'm paranoid about downgrading and getting hit.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy81:
Android tends to use a lot more data with background data from apps and especially widgets. When your screen is off it usually defaults to your data connection. You can change it to leave Wi-fi on all the time by going to Settings>Wireless & Network Settings>Wi-fi Settings>Click Menu Advance> and change Wi-fi sleep policy to never. This may affect your battery life but you will probably use less data by doing this.
