Horizontal lines using VGA output - Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development

Hello
I recently have downloaded and installed the latest version of PhoenixOS. When I boot using VGA output, there was a black screen. When I switched to HDMI output, it works fine but using HDTV it doesn't give any good resolution. I switched back to VGA output and the screen was entirely covered with coloured horizontal lines.
Is there any way to fix it?. Thanks.

Is there anyway to make it work????
I select "VGA" and turn it on, but nothing. No Picture. Monitor wont show a thing.
Any suggestions? (and yes, the cable that came with Ameo is plugged in )

Xoom with ICS 4.04 - Hdmi out appears cropped!?

Wondering if anyone else is having my problem?
If i can remember right, my hdmi out to my tv would completely mirror my xoom screen. This was when i first got ICS 4.0.
Now i have had the updated 4.04 since release, but i noticed my hdmi out to tv appears to be cropped. The screen appears to be zoomed in and it is not mirroring my xoom screen anymore.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there some kind of setting that i need to change?
Also would my hdmi connector cord cause this? I am using a different cord then before?

Try turning off overscanning on your tv
Yaarp, aspect ratio too.
same problem with me (and tried adjusting screen aspect ratio) doesn't show system/notification bar and a slight amount of screen real estate above it. I can see all of the first row of icons though, just nothing below them.
Same problem for me... Missing half the icons on left and right hand side...
Very noticable when watching videos as well....
Just an fyi guys its a TV thing, I have two TVs on one I can change and adjust the picture size and aspect ratio and no matter what its cropped and cuts off left right top and bottom... however on a newer insignia I have I can have it set to 16/9 and it cuts everything off as well, however if I turn it to "fit scree " I have the hole picture without any missing area

I would agree but my HDMI socket is shared between my xbox/blu-ray and Xoom and the others are fine.. no cropping at all only the Xoom has the problem...

If u look close enough it does, u just can't tell because how do u know what "should be displayed if u don't ever see it, the only reason u say it does it only on the Xoom is because u know what should be there.
I deal with this on a daily basis,

HDMI Mirror mode
When using HDMI, the bottom 80 pixels of the display where the navigation keys and notification menu are displayed is not projected on the external display. This is done by design and is not a defect with either the device or the external display
Just got a work and play kit for my Xoom 2 ME and it does the same thing. Bit of a shame really, I hear notifications come in but either have to look at my phone or recognise the notification sound to try and find em.

Although I can just put my mouse in the bottom right and click, doh!
Find what your TV manufacture calls over scanning and turn it off. In my lg the option to turn off is to select just scan. FYI you should do this anyways in order to get true pixel mapping from all your sources

[Q] External HDMI Output problem

Using my Acer A500 whenever I connect it using the Micro HDMI it does appear on the screen but it seems to have part of the screen cut off. The status bar on the bottom of the screen and then about the same space on the top and sides.
Is there anything you can get for a root ICS tablet to change the output?
Could it be the cable I am using a 10ft cable?
Or this just what it looks like does the whole screen just never fit.
The TV is a 37 inch HD ready Beko
It outputs at 720p. Does your TV support that resolution?? I have had none of the problems your describing while using the HDMI out.

It does support it as my Xbox output is 720p and when the tablet is connected it says on the tv its output is 720P 60HZ.
any other ideas?
I have the same issue butnot with my TV. My TV will show the entire screen but when I plug into a projector it cuts off part of the screen. I would not think the HDMI out is device dependent but it is certainly looking like it.
Not sure if you checked this, but this happened to me yesterday. What had happened was that the zooming on the TV was causing the problem. It was on 16:9, and cut off some parts. Went through the zooming options until I found one that showed the entire screen (can't remember what it was called).

on a,LG,phillips its original zise a samsung: full screen
Im having the same issue as well, 37" Panasonic LCD. Its fully capable of 1080p as well as 720. I remember connecting my motorola atrix and droid bionic to the TV and both those phones have an HDMI setting --> Overscan setting that you adjust using a slider. With those 2 phones however they problem wasn't the screen getting cut off, it was too small, and adjusting the overscan as high as it could go made the output from the phone fit the tv PERFECTLY.
In our instance, we would need that same overscan slider, and to turn it down. BTW: that setting on the phone was set in the middle by default (say at 50%), so the phone would need it adjusted to 100%, where as our tablet would need it at 0 or near zero...

[Q] HDTV Adapter does not work when any camera app is running

Hi, I just bought the Samsung HDTV Adapter. The main reason I bought it is that I could see what the camera is watching while taking the photo or video. However, whenever I activate any camera app, there is a message on my Note's screen that "HDMI not available while application is running..."
Anybody knows the reason and how to fix it? Also, for unknown reason, approximately top 5% and bottom 5% of my Note's screen are not being displayed on my HDTV.For example, on the home screen, the top half of the time is not displayed.
For the second part - the Note's screen resolution is 1280x800 (16:10) which is a bit more than the usual 1280x720 mode (16:9) in HDTV. Your TV may have automatic adaptation of the picture turned on and is trying to fit the picture by cutting here and there.
I've yet to try using camera with the mhl adapter. Maybe later today.
...
OK, I've tried - same result as yours.

HDMI Black stripes?

I am plugging my N10 into a 1080p tv using the micro to hdmi cable - anyone know if it's possible to get rid of the black borders on the left and right of the screen or to change the output resolution on the N10 to 1080p?
Cheers!

The thin stripes on the left and right only? That's cause your TV is 16:9 but the Nexus 10 is 16:10, the 1080p equivalent of it is 1728*1080.
Is it possible to hide the soft keys on the tv? So only everything above the soft keys is shown, which is 16:9.

Ah yes it is, but most current TV's are 16:9 also. I agree though, can we hide the soft buttons or re scale the screen to fit?
