HDMI options or settings ? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a custom ROM that gives us control of the HDMI ? For example resolution settings, settings for 1080, 720, 480 i or p, a presentation mode not just mirror what's on the tablet.
Thanks

Resolution can be changed (on both the tablet and over HDMI at the same time) via a root command.

As for presentation settings, I'm not sure.

With this app you can resize the screen easily. Requires root access:

Ahhhh my TV still stuck in 480p and it looks shocking, when I plug in my blackberry playbook it works in 720p, I can't believe Google have left HDMI like this its awful.

Agree. Changing resolution doesn't change the HDMI negotiations with the TV. I also have similar problem and would love to be able to force the HDMI signal so it doesn't auto negotiate. Doesn't work on my bedroom TV where I need hdmi the most

YouTube in lower quality?

I'm unsure what quality YouTube is playing at in default but its much too high for my internet speed at my current location. On my computer I play at 480p which is fine. I have a feeling that the Nexus 7 is trying to play it at 720 or 1080 because it takes forever to load anything.
Anything I can do about this? I couldn't find a setting to change it.
Don't think so. Only way I've been able to get HQ or low quality was to share connection with my phone via Bluetooth. basically any connection that wasn't WiFi.

When playing a YouTube video in landscape view lower left hand corner will give you an idea of the resolution. HD will be in 720p HQ is 480p and if it is unchecked it drops down the next lower resolution. If it is showing HD unchecking it should drop you down to 480p.

[Q] HDMI or Pogo output resolution

What resolution can the Nexus 10 output through the micro HDMI port? How about the mysterious pogo pin connector?
I have a 2560x1600 monitor at work and a 2560x1440 monitor at home. I was hoping the Nexus 10 would be able to do a pixel-for-pixel mirroring on these guys, but it only outputs 1080p on the work monitor and 720p (!) on the home one.
It looks really bad on the screen at home. It's an Auria EQ276W from Microcenter, 27" 2560x1440. It would be super nice if the Nexus 10 would actually run this display at its full resolution. I was hoping the Nexus 10 would have SlimPort like the Nexus 4, since I could then use the DisplayPort input which is more reliable for supporting higher resolutions.
Maybe the pogo pins can output a higher res signal?
It's just a shame that I can't use the tablet as a docking device the way I use my laptop.

Do you have any evidence of this? The Nexus 10 has 6 pogo pins.
Current speculation is that they are Vcc, Gnd, Audio L, Audio R, USB D+, USB D-.
HDMI would be catered for wirelessly, If it got implemented.

A charger is the only pogo accessory that's been caught on camera so far, but six pins is way more than you need for a charger.
I tried to find out anything with multimeter, only found that first and last pins are grounded...

{AppN5} mirror to chrome cast.

Really pixelated and laggy for me right now, but progress is good.
Yeah the stream is a bit pixelated and unclear but the Dev in the video was using an apple tv, is there a difference, or could it be my router?

Using an Apple TV is smoother and looks better. Chromecast casting will probably get better as the app progresses.

Yup, slight lag and pixelation around movement, using a n600 buffalo router. Loving the progress and stream to pc is a fun plus, I cant wait for more updates on it. Thanks for the share.
Very good start. I didn't expect it to work as well as it did.
I don't really see much lag, but the pixelation is there. I casted my N5 with a hockey stream on to my desktop and to my TV with a Chromecast and it was definitely watchable but there is definitely room for improvement.
Pretty surprised overall.

Miracast is awesume!

One reason I got this tablet was to try miracast. I picked up a Panasonic. Blue ray player that supports miracast. It was easy to configure and works great! I don't know why but was surprised that it sends the sound also.

Google is your friend:

Isn't this Miracast that requires the screen to be on all the time ?

Yes, it appears that the screen must be on to enable screen mirroring. That is OK for me. I have it on right now with my 50" plasma TV and using my bluetooth keyboard. I just use the tablet kind of like a mouse pad since I don't know how to naviigate to everything with the keyboard.

Can use app Screen Standby to cut the signal to the screen. Funny is you can still tap

MHL to HDMI -Screen Cast

Hello. I know Samsung dropped support for MHL supposedly so people wanting to use their phones on their TVs could just buy Samsung TVs and cast their screens over using adapters. First of all, that's so lame, second of all there has to be another way to cast my phone on my 60inch (not a Samsung, a Sony) without having to hack a Chromecast or Fire adapter. With my Sony z3 I had a mhl cable, I could connect my Bluetooth controller and play NBA Jam on my TV. Does anyone else know another way to do this on the s7?

Why would you need to hack a chromecast?

It was poor sarcasm i guess. I didn't literally mean hack a chromcast....
The Chromecast app has native support for casting your entire phone screen to a Chromecast. As long as your internet connection is solid, there will be little to no lag. It was an experimental feature for a while, but has seen much refinement.
Also if you have a smart tv there almost always is a screen cast option just they all use different names for the method
