Hi everyone,
I intended to use my SM-T865 for presentation and conference call with screensharing and it's been great so far. Only one thing that bugs me is that when I share using DEX, I cannot change the resolution to above FHD which causes the participants cannot read the text from my shared screen.
Anyone been experiencing this?
FYI I'm using Belkin hub and hooked to a 4k Samsung TV, so I doubt the source and hub having any issues, cause i used it with my macbook it works well.
Is it DEX does not seem to support this feature although in the resolution dex you can see the other options from FHD to 4k, or is it just me?
Here is an interesting explanation about DeX, from Samsung: https://insights.samsung.com/2020/08/05/the-beginners-guide-to-samsung-dex-5/
From how I understand it, one of the problems could be the adapter/HDMI cable you are using which might not support high resolutions.
Did you try using DeX for PC, as an alternative? It is not working for me (with Note 8, Note 10+ or Tab S6) but who knows?
Unfortunately, I can't test you scenario because my TV is only FHD.
Increasing font size on your tablet does not have any effect on DeX mode?

? indeed I also read around where hub might cause the problem. I tried dex for Mac but didn't work. I'll try another cable then. Best bet already.
I have also tried this dongle from ages ago from my note 9, still not able to move above FHD
If your dongle is from ages ago, probably it won't support higer resolutions then FHD. Try to find a newer one with 4k specs.

I've tried 3rd party DeX cables and thr official Samsung DeX Pad on a couple 4K TV with my Note 10+ and my Tab S6. I've never been able to set DeX above FHD. Very annoying to have a phone, DeX Pad, and TV that all supposedly support 4K, but not be able to use it.

I just tried it with my sm-t865 and its the same here.
Got a 4k monitor with a hdmi 2.0 and hdcp 2.2 port and I used a ugreens hdmi to usb-c cable that also supports hdcp 2.2 and [email protected]
Edit: my samsung s10 also only goes upto fhd.
Also i found this thread. I guess it really depends on your setup. Some luck is involved.

I guess its related to the monitor/tv and if it supports the wqhd resolution. If the 4k tv only has an fhd and 4k setting it probably wont support the wqhd resolution.

That's what i think too, that there are certain resolutions supported only on pc displays and not on tv sets, unfortunately.

I know this is an older thread, but it's coming up in search results. DEX will currently only go to a maximum resolution of 2560x1440, and only if you are using "approved" Samsung DEX hardware or cables. Otherwise it will be limited to 1920x1080.
To override this behavior when using a third-party 4K UHD cable, get the "GoodLock" app from the Samsung Galaxy App Store. Open the app and install the multitasking extension. It contains a DEX section which will allow you to override this limitation, among other useful tweaks.
FYI - wireless DEX is also limited to FHD, unless you are streaming to a Samsung 4K TV over the 5GHz band, then it will go up to 2560x1440.
DEX will never fully utilize 4K UHD 3840x2160 in its current state due to some standards-compliance mumbo-jumbo. I don't understand this, because I can plug the same cable into my laptop and get 4K--it's just a different device. Enabling "Experimental Desktop Mode" through Developer Options on the phone will also output 4K, but launchers don't support it well (yet).
hi all. tell me please - how can I unlock 120 hz mode in Samsung dex? I know that it used to be, then after the update it became 60, but perhaps some information remained in the old kernels. maybe you need a custom kernel...
hello , i've notice something weird as I was giving up trying to get my s10 above WHQH resolution, with good lock
i just tested dex on a s21 plus , installed good lock , and with this phone i can get dex to UHD (4k) with the same hdmi cable + usb c hub i use with my s10 ... so now at least i know it's not about my setup.. but wondering if there is a difference between dex devices , as some could not be able to display 4K ?

Anyone having issue with the original samsung galaxy s3 EPL-3FHU MHL to HDMI outputing in 1080p at 24Hz.
I currently have a 60" 1080P LCD and a 47" 1080P LCD, when connected with the MHL to HDMI, it will only output to [email protected] which play video fine,
but game or menu have that lag/choppy look to it.
I did try it on a buddy 32" 720P LCD and the MHL output it to 720p @60Hz which display game without the choppiness.
Also test it on a 24" 1080P PC Monitor and MHL output 720p to it. Is there any way to change the MHL configuration so that it will output 720p @60Hz onto my big screen 60" and 47" or even a different Adaptor that will only do 720p.
I heard you can use a samsung galaxy s2 MHL with a 5 to 11 pin adapter, anyone have this combination to test what it output at on a 1080P LCD.
If that s2 MHL with adapter works, I will return this s3 MHL and go that route.
I can only get 1080i on all my devices, all my TVs / Monitors are capable of 1080p 60hz but there was no way of making the S3 output anything except 1080i seems it's quite buggy!!!
If it just could be more improved :S No possible settings on the phone, that sucks. I really wanted to choose the resolution myself. Samsung should work on this problem.1080i sucks on my tv, 720p is 1000 times better.
EDIT: Lolz, wtf?? Just tried to connect to my PC monitor, only get 576p, my monitor is 1680x1050p. And the best thing, no way to configurate the output signal :S
We need an app, or a point in the settings. Only then we can get the max out of our superphone.
And I never hard of that thing, that someone got a galaxys2 mhl connector working with a galaxys3.
What Hz or refresh rate are you guys getting with your 1080i, I have seen a picture of someone showing a 1080p @60Hz with a galaxy s2 MHL adapter. The S2 MHL adapter by itself won't work. You will need a samsung 5 to 11 pin adapter which connect in between the s3 phone and the s2 MHL.
guys, I actually didnt know it, but I have a 11-pin mhl-hdmi-adaptor, to be exactly, this one:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0080CXSOU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
But I cant connect more devices over the micro-usb slot. I thought that it is possible with this connector, cause it supports USB OTG and MHL at the same time, so what is up with this ****?
Wikipedia said:
11-pin MHL-USB Connector
The Samsung Galaxy S III uses a connector that is similar to the original 5-pin MHL-USB connector, but it uses 11-pins in order to achieve a few functional improvements over the 5-pin design.
It supports the use of USB and MHL simultaneously (note that the new Samsung 11-pin MHL-HDMI adapter also has a USB-OTG port).
Samsung’s Galaxy S III can power the MHL-HDMI adapter. Although this can theoretically also be done with the standard 5-pin micro-USB connector, the Galaxy S III's 11-pin connector is believed to be the first smartphone that supports this functionality.

Does anyone found a solution for what was the initial question?
I'm having the same issue also using the original samsung galaxy s3 EPL-3FHU except that the display is limited to 30 Hz for me.
Maybe it will be fixed in jellybean.. doubt it very much though.
I am having the same issues ... I have a Vizio 1080p 240hz and I am getting choppy gameplay too. Very disappointing, considering that gaming was the sole reason I bought it =(
I wish Samsung with come up with a solution.

I have a whole different story going on...
With this aftermarket hdmi mhl adapter i only get 720p on tv, sound out of sync, flickering, display cutting in and out.
With same movie on droid charge via direct hdmi get 1080i on tv, perfect sync, all apps work flawless as usual.
This aftermarket adapter cant be that bad...?!
Any input?

And..............only ma466 in the chargue electric not the ma999?, not sufficient foir chargue the battery the galaxy via MHL HDMI...
Is a joke?????
UP
no one more news or gadgets since?
I also have choppy output with my S3 MHL adaptor. I wonder if there's a way to force the refresh rate somehow?
Has anyone tried overclocking to boost the frame rate? I've had the same problem as everyone else when trying to watch 1080 video on a 46" 1080 TV, but it only skips once every second or two on random intervals. It's JUST enough skipping that you know something isn't right, but almost can't put your finger on it. I may try overclocking to boost it in the next few days. If I do I'll post back with results. For reference, I'm using an ATT GS3 rooted with the stock TW ROM.
I just get 1080I on my 1080P sony Led 55" and 1080I on my Dell 1080P monitor 24"
I rather get 720P than 1080I, but i cannot change it
Better but still an issue.
I just installed the Hyperdrive rom with the kernel that can overclock on my SCH-I535 S3 and tried the official 11 pin Samsung hdmi adapter and was getting 1080 at 30hz witch is better then before. Also my phone was syncing to 30hz. Before it was 1080 at 24hz and the phone was syncing to 60hz witch caused every thing to look extremely choppy. Now games are playable but still could be much better if we had 720 at 60hz.
I'm not sure what changed from the stock rom to Hyperdrive but it seems that the output can be changed some how.
Also I seen that the HTC One S has a kernel (ZeroMHL) that can force there hdmi output to 720 but I don't know if the same method could be applied here.
Edit:
It seems that ZeroMHL fixed the kernel by finding key words and changing the limitations. As a professional I'm a video game programmer but I'm going to try and see if I can modify kernel source to get 720 60hz. If I can do it ill post the kernel / source.
Hi everyone,
I just got the Note 3 and am absolutely loving it so far. I also own a Samsung Smart Dock that I used with my previous phone, a Note 2.
When I dock the Note 3, it very nicely detects mouse and keyboard and sends the display to the monitor I have attached to the smartdock. The only problem is that the resolution on the monitor seems very very low and very grainy.
Any suggestions / thoughts / hints would be greatly appreciated
With your note 2 the picture was same?

I'll see about taking a pic, but initial thoughts are:
-On my monitor, I have an 1 inch area above and below the image from the Note 3.
-My monitor reports the incoming signal as being 480p
-My monitor refuses to auto adjust
To try and describe the "grainy-ness" a bit further: Any letter, for example an S (caps), that is rounded will appear with visibly pixelated curves. It is as if the resolution is very low, which would seem to correspond with my monitor reporting the signal as 480p.
What resolution does your monitor use with your Note 3?

When I output to a monitor using the MHL cable or one of the Samsung MHL to HDMI adapters it is full 1080p. 480p I can well imagine will not look too great. It's not a matter of your monitor not adjusting, if the N3 is outputting at that resolution then that is what the monitor will display. Typically the N3 will output whatever the device it's connected to will support so that implies your docking station is the problem. Either that or the input to the monitor is telling the dock that it can only support 480p but that's highly unlikely with any modern monitor.
To help you further, what is the model of the docking station and the monitor you are using and how are you connecting the dock to the monitor (HDMI, DVI, HD15, S-Video etc.)

Thanks, that's very helpful
The monitor is a Dell S2340Mc and the dock is a Samsung Multimedia dock. The monitor works great with both my PC's.
I use a 3rd party HDMI <-> DVI cable to connect the dock to the monitor. (I'm wondering if it's a cable issue?)
I have tested this in 2 configurations:
1: Dock connected to monitor via a KVM switch: Monitor reports 480p
2: Dock connected directly to monitor: Monitor reports 480p
Probably a cable or adapter issue. The hdmi-dvi is probably the weak link. Anyway for you test using HDMI straight up?

Yes. Try and eliminate what could be causing it. If it's physical you can replace it. If it's software then you gotta figure that out.

My Smart Dock is outputting 1080p to my TV.
I have a friend who had problems outputting to his monitor, but that was because his monitor would not accept 1080p at 30Hz which is what the Smart Dock outputs video at, and it dropped the resolution due to this.
Hi people, if you ever want to hook up an HDMI 4 port KVM switch to your Samsung Smart Dock, here is a demo on how to do so:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pBSeNlMmeQ
The Multimedia Smartdock from the Note 2 has a standard output of 720p type resolutions (up to 1280x800) as this is the maximum resolution of the S3 / Note 2. The Note 3 scales output back to 720p in order to be shown on this hence why it is blurry as hell. It is very distinct difference when you compare the Dock output to a Miracast/WIDI output using a dongle - that really does 1080p (with lag) but it is so much crisper and clearer than the dock.

Both. It is roughly about half a second delay between the input/display that makes it a bit irritating. The best way to get around this is to cover the screen of the phone and just concentrate on the big monitor instead. Otherwise you will notice the difference between the two. The only machine that I know of that doesnt have this type of delay is the NVidia shield - There is a function that minimises the delay and works pretty well. Wish this was an option on the Note 3 as well.

Nintendo and nvidia have worked on stuff like this because it's a necessity for latency tolerance. It needs to trickle down already. Big reason I haven't invested in much wireless display stuff. I still live by the cable.

I wanted to connect my samsung s3 to an old viewsonic 19'' lcd monitor (VX922) which has vga and dvi-d inputs. To do this i bought following :
1. MHL adapter (which works fine i connect my S3 to my sony tv with hdmi in)
2. HDMI to VGA convertor
3. HDMI to DVI-D convertor
I have tested each individual components and they work fine. However, when connected to this monitor i do not get any display neither in the vga mode or the dvi-d mode either. Monitor too works fine otherwise but would not work with this setup for some reason. In vga mode with the mhl/vga convertor in place it simply shows a green screen but no pictures. I checked the cable with the same monitor using my laptop and that works fine. Then i tried the mhl / dvi-d convertor option but in this case my s3 continuously shows hdmi connected / hdmi disconnected and does not work either.
I have been working on finding the issue and it seems like to me that the max resolution currently supported by the monitor is the issue. Max resolution it supports is SXGA (1280x1024) and it seems that is not compatible with S3. I wanted to know if there was to lower the resolution which is coming out of the mobile? Has anyone else tried something similar outputting video to a vga or dvi port in the past?

+1 . This one would be good to know.
Another MHL question from me.
Does the XZU support 1080p output over MHL? I have a feeling before the KitKat update that it did. With KitKat update, when I plug in the MHL to my monitor, the monitor reports a 720p signal. There was another post where someone stated you can change the resolution settings but I don't seem to have that.
I use mine with mhl latest kk build and it's 1080p I don't know where you can change the resolution. The only thing that bothers me is that the mhl 1 standard that the zu uses only supports 30hz
Sent from my C6833 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the info. I tried two MHL adapters on two different monitors and both report 720p though I know these monitors will support 1080p through HDMI as I get that resolution when plugging in a monitor. Maybe something weird with the HDCP handshake? I'll try on my HDTV when I get home. Hopefully I don't have to go questing for a different MHL adapter (had to go through three to find one that would charge my phone while using HDMI out).
I have one that it charges my phone directly from the TV but the TV has one hdmi with mhl built in. If you use one that you needs 5v from charger or USB you should try the I9100(S3) mhl dongle works perfectly with our zu

Yes, same thing happens to me as well.
I bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321336887491 and the output is 720p 60hz.
The image is blurry and it is very annoying
If I remember correctly same thing has happened both in 4.3 and in 4.4 (rooted locked bootloader)
Hi harisled, I haven't tried it on my HT setup yet but I think I know why it is not working (at least for me) on my computer monitors. I had forgotten that the MHL 1.0 spec only allows 1080p @ 30Hz until mr.joshuanice had mentioned it. The two monitors I tried it on initially are computer monitors so they probably don't support 1080p @ 30Hz. I'm guessing the HDCP handshake (or whatever it is called) reduced the resolution to 720p @ 60Hz which is supported by my monitor. However, this causes the monitor to upscale causing the image to be blurry (like you have experienced).
I will test it on my HT this weekend which should work (I remembered testing this out a while ago). The only thing that sucks is playing games @ 1080p. As some have experienced, playing PS Mobile games at 1080p resolution makes the game really sluggish (@ 720p is great). I remembered someone had show a screenshot of a menu which allowed you to change the resolution but it may have been a different Sony phone or a different ROM.
You are right, it did output 1080p 30hz on a tv

You can enforce the output format by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* then navigate to Service tests -> TV-Out Test -> Video format. Note that "Video format" will only be modifiable when the MHL cable is plugged in.

I tried that on my PC monitor but, as expected, nothing changed since the monitor does not support 1080p 30hz

when i connect my zu to tv phone appear mhl connected but tv is black screen when open service menu
mhl is on
video fourmat N/A
HPD 1
TMDS off
what shall i do ???
please!!!!
I know this is old, but is there an option to save the MHL-Setting in the Service menu permanently? After each reboot, the screen resolution is scaled to the default settings again.
Everybody who has problems with screen resolution can simply set the resolution and fps in the service menu under "second screen" .. For that type *#*#7378423#*#* in the phone dialer
For me its not even switching to 1080p when I select it in the service menu. It says reconnect but then again its set to 720p. Xperia Z and Z2 only outputing 720p. Are they even capable of 1080p MHL?
Is it possible the MHL cable is just crap?

The Z Ultra has MHL 1.0 or most likely 2.0 since 2.0 requires 900mA and therefore an external power source is needed (which my cable has) while 1.0 only requires 500mA, which is provided through a regular USB/HDMI. Both 1.0 and 2.0 support uncompressed 1080p and Dolby 7.1. MHL 3.0 was released just a month before the Ultra hit the market, so it doesn't have 3.0, which supports 4K and some other stuff.
The Z2 and beyond have MHL 3.0, and yes, it could be your cable. Be sure that it's 3.0 for the Z2 and 1.0/2.0 for the Z.
I tried 2 MHL1.0 adapters before and the output was 720p only for my Sony Tablet Z4...
Luckily I found the MHL3.0 adapter last night and the the output become 1080P 60Hz for my projector now. Try to find the MHL 3.0 from Taobao or eBay.
Hello XDA!
I pre-ordered a Mate 20 Pro. I hope to use it as a desktop PC replacement. Using the PC Mode, or Desktop Mode, or "Easy Projection" as they call it.
I'll use a big UHD TV in place of a monitor. And Bluetooth keyboard & mouse.
And it should even be wireless! (using Wi-Fi, and maybe Miracast if TV supports it, not sure)
But do you know what resolution will it support? Will it output UHD/4K @60fps? Wireless and/or wired?
And what cable should I buy? USB-C 3.1 to HDMI 2.0? Can you recommend one from Amazon?
Thanks!
I am unsure about the new wireless solution I know that it uses Miracast if the TV supports it. Else it uses a Huawei adapter (which I suspect only contains a Miracast adapter for the TV) Miracast supports up to 1080p according to Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast
For wired solution you should check the mate 10 forum there are discussions and recommender cables for that. Also it sucks a lot of battery. There are special dongles that allow easy projection and charging at the same time. Many only allow slow charging speed so the phone still drains battery while charging. There are some special dongles that allow fast charging. Look out for these.
Thanks Alfred!
Good point. Maybe a cable that supports charging like ref. B07F9WDS87 on Amazon ?
Also, maybe a wireless quick charger? There have been rumors of Huawei soon offering a 20W.
And regarding the max resolution using cable, you think Mate 10 users will have an answer? Maybe Mate 20 has been upgraded on this part? (max resolution for Easy Projection output)
I'm not 100% sure about "easy projection" but for samsung dex, I've tried a few cheap cables/adapters and didn't work, finally this one worked okay and it's a reasonable price ($20), I'm almost sure it would work with "easy projection"
Could not add the link but this is the title: "USB C to HDMI Cable([email protected]), uni USB Type-C to HDMI Cable [Thunderbolt 3 Compatible] MacBook Pro 2018/2017/2016, Surface Book 2, Samsung S9/S8, Dell XPS 13/15, Pixelbook More - Gray -6FT/1.8m"
Also bought a Logitech K380 BT keayboard on eBay for around $12
Hi all,
I can confirm Wireless Projection works absolutely fine, but I haven't checked the resolution as yet.
One strange thing however is that I have yet to find a way to use desktop projection via USB cable - perhaps in an OTA

But let me guess.. ur device Ur using either telly or monitor supporting Miracast right?
Thanks @vwite, I ordered the UNI cable. And a Logitech K830 keyboard, with an integrated touchpad/trackpad.
Thanks @Wiggz! Very annoying that you can't find how to connect by cable It's very unlikely that the Mate 20 Pro will be able to output [email protected] over Wi-Fi Miracast while there's hope with the cable link.

Yeah [email protected] does not seem likely wireless. I originally bought the cable for the Note 9 but I'll try to see a difference with the Mate 20 Pro between wired and wireless and if I don't notice any difference at all I might actually return the cable.
Just as comparison, Note 9 has the option of mirroring screen wireless but if I play a video is choppy, while if I use the cable for DeX it seems more fluid. Even if I end up keeping the cable for a fluid experience at home, can't deny that being able to "turn hotel TV into basic PC" when traveling with either just the keyboard or ONLY the phone (using it as touchpad and touch keyboard) seems amazing.

Well it theoretically is possible. If you search the Wi-Fi Alliance website, from the page about Miracast, it says:
Streams HD and 4K Ultra HD movies from a tablet to an HD television
Seems like the device should be certified Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™. And I don't know if the Kirin 980 SoC is. All I found is it supports Wi-Fi 802.11 ac and the Hi1103 chip is able of a theoretical peak download speed of 1.7 Gbps.

I could not find much either about its GPU, the Mali-G76, besides it supports 2 displays, obviously. The main display on the Mate 20 Pro is 3120×[email protected] So is it able to drive a secondary 3840×[email protected] display via USB-C?
has anyone compared speed wireless vs with cable?

I've received my Mate 20 Pro but could test only wired projection on 1080p screen.
I don't have yet a Miracast enabled TV or receiver, neither a 4K screen.
Btw, desktop mode looks promising I could launch a ton of Chrome tabs and not notice any sign of slowing down.

Are there any noticeable improvements to desktop mode over EMUI 8.0 series from the Mate 10.

Frame rate is barely less on wireless than wired but there is a delay. Is not bad at all though but I find using my laptop thunderbolt dock for the odd shopping spree works well
However it does not support ultra wide resolution. My 2560x1080 monitor shows as 1080p

I just tried it using the Huawei Mate book USBC dock, and can't get it to output 4k to my tv. Only seems to output 1080p..anyone else had any success?
The chinese Huawei online store (Vmall) has a miracast receiver from Hagibis that claims to work in [email protected]
I haven't found any user review that explicitly says it works in 4K tho.
If anyone's interested, the model is Hagibis WFD0535G.
Hello to all who are using the Huawei Mate 20 PRO in desktop mode using EMUI 9. The maximum resolution I can output from the Mate 20 Pro is 720p. Also, the functionality of the apps-O/S available is very limited such as taking screenshots of the desktop, multiple windows of the same app like MS-Word/Excel and comparisons between full PC app functionality to mobile app counterparts. Huawei's desktop mode is Windows 95 all over again but for a docked mobile version of the PC hardware in the 1990s. It's going to take at least a good 5, 7, 10 years before DEX or EMUI desktop mode reaches the level of a PC/laptop level.
EMUI 8 - I was able to get 1080p on my external monitor. With the EMUI 9 OTA update, I can only output 720p on my external monitor from my Huawei Mate 10 Pro. Talk about going backwards!!! I was on chat with Huawei support. They reported it to their internal team. Hopefully, it's something they can fix or patch.

I did not use The original huawei easy projection cable
Nevermind. Wrong post. Moderators please delete.
Nope
It supports 1920x1080 only. It won't do t 2560x1440, 2560x1080, or 3840x2160. It won't do 1920x1200, either... I tried them all.
Dex does 3440x1440 and 2560x1440. It won't do 4k. It also won't do 3840x1600, the nice new ultrawide resolution.
