[Q] Video out not working - Captivate General

I'm running Paragon RC5.1 on my captivate, and my video out is not working. Nothing shows up on the tv when I enable it. The link for the cable i'm using is posted below, and the reviews say it works with other Galaxy S phones. Any idea what the problem might be?
www(dot)amazon(dot)com/gp/product/B000I1D0BW

Its not your phone its the cable. There is a common problem with that cable as you can read in the reviews. "try switching red for video instead of yellow. "
I ordered that cable and tried every combination of colors and it didn't work. It's really hit or miss and I ended up throwing it in the trash. I purchased this one the same day the one you posted arrived and it works perfectly...

it is a weird setup - I found the RED cable is actually the video portion of the component cables. Also, I thought the same thing at first (even knowing the standard video output wasn't it), it seemed to take a while to actually display on the big screen I was connected to (audio would play.....but it would take a few seconds before the video was recognized on the monitor - its not that there is a lag in synch, just that there wasn't an immediate output after plugging in the cables.

I also tried all the color combinations, no luck. I ordered an iPod video cable, hopefully that will get the job done.

Did you try using an audio cable as the video cable? With some cables their colors are night correct. Sometimes the yellow is not the video.

I did try that after i posted this and still no video on both of the cables that i bought for the phone.
have you enabled video out? if its not an official htc tv out cable you need to set hklm\software\htc\h2w\tvoutcablein to 1. give it a swing, if thats the issue, theres a software to easily enable that in the future.
I 'm using original HTC TV out cable & it is working

Connector broken?
Hi,
Maybe your connector on the bottom of the device is broken or dirty. Check it and when it's dirty, remove the dirt. When the connector is cracked, pry it back in position with a tool. (I've read about it here on the forum somewhere, can't remember where. Sorry!). Or call customer service and send it in for repair.
You could also try to pull the plug out of the connector a little bit. My TV-cable gives a black 'n white and noisy picture, this trick fixes that for me. Hope this works for you too.

[Q] HDMI Output not working?

Hey all..
I bought myself a HDMI to mini HDMI lead for my Asus Transformer. Unfortunately I can not get it to output a picture at all. I have tried it on two TV's that both support up to 1080 signal, both tv's work fine with my netbook via a normal HDMI lead.
I don't have another device to test with the mini hdmi lead.. so I have ordered another lead just in case the lead is faulty. Is anyone else having the same issue?
I saw in another forum a couple of people reporting a similar issue with the Asus and I'm concerned my device has a problem :/
Any ideas?
The HDMI lead I purchased is this one below, and I have tried it on a Samsung TV and a crappy vistron.
Cheers,
Tim

Not sure what could be the problem cause mine worked straight out of the box no issues at all
Be sure to push the cable all the way in.
When you plug in the hdmi cable to the tablet a HDMI notifaction icon should appear next to the clock. Do you see that?
It seems to only output 720p and no sound, does anyone get sound over hdmi?

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I am not getting any HDMI icon notification near the clock when plugging in the lead. The lead is pushed all the way in as far is it will go..(the plastic of the lead is against the edge of the device).
The TV obviously see's that something is connected though as it goes from saying 'Check Signal Cable' when it's out of the device to 'No signal' when it's plugged in?
I wonder if this indicated a faulty lead.. wish I had something else to test it with
I don't have a transformer yet, but I'm on a Captivate phone. These phones have a TV-out accessory cable. There was an issue with some people's phones where they were shipped with the "TV-Out" setting turned on while other phones were shipped with that setting turned off.
Is there an option somewhere on the Transformer where you have to turn the "HDMI-Out" setting on?

Hopefully just the lead, not the tablet.
I figured out the sound issue, sound for me works if its plugged in directly to the HD set.
If I plug it in via a hdmi switch box no sound.
Good luck getting yours working.

There are a lot of stereo recievers that can pass through the video from an HDMI input, but will not output audio over HDMI. Your audio is probably still in that reciever box, but you'll have to get it out some other way. Try Component or Composite Audio cables.
Could you guys with working HDMI leads possibly let me know where you got yours from please?
If I can get the same lead (I'm in the UK) then I probably have a better chance of it working (if there is not a fault with the device).
Thanks

Hi,
I'm having the same exact problem. I plug the cable into my Transformer - nothing. I've tried to set my monitor to look for it, but it finds nothing. I see no notification on my tablet.
Here is the cable I'm using:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330550984450&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Fortunately, my buddy also got a Transformer (we both ordered from Amazon at midnight on the 26th) so I can test the cable on his device. I'm going to assume if it doesn't work on his then (luckily) it's not my Transformer that is faulty. Then I either have a bad cable or got the wrong one (can anyone confirm if the cable I purchased should work with the Transformer?)
Thanks.

Good luck with the test.. it seems this issue is becoming more common. Could you let me know the outcome as it will be useful troubleshooting my issue.
I'm tempted to go and pay £20 for the cable listed as working above..but what I really need is to test it with a known working cable.
another little update... I realised that my Canon camera has a mini hdmi output that is supposed to output video. The cable I have does not work with the camera either! So I'm hoping this is a good indication that the cable is the issue.
OK my issue is resolved... it was the cheap cable from eBay.
I bought an expensive cable from Maplin and it works fine.. the output from the tablet is grainy/crap and probably not worth the £20 I spent to get it working but at least I know the device isn't faulty
For once it obviously was worth paying for the better quality cable.

Just wanted to add.. the second cheap HDMI lead I ordered from eBay worked fine (picture is still a bit crap though).

I avoid eBay for any kind of cables. If you're in the US, Monoprice has dirt cheap cables that I've used on lots of different devices without any issues. Not sure if they distribute overseas.
My hdmi only outputs at 720p as well. Isn't this thing suppose to output to 1080p? I have the official 3.1 firmware installed.

[Q] HDMI Out Problem {resolved}

Dang, another problem with my Transformer (or with the cable.)
I bought the bundle off of TigerDirect with the Transformer, Mini HDMI cable and case.
I finally got around to opening up the cable and I connected it to my HDTV. Nothing happens.
I did some Googling and it said make sure the cable is fully inserted (yep) and that a HDMI notification should appear on the device. (nope)
Anybody else buy this bundle and try to connect to their HDTV? I'm trying to figure out if it's the cable or the device.
I tried rebooting it as the old standby fix, but still no-go.
Thanks!
Went and tried on my friend's HDTV and it worked like a charm.
Not sure what it is about my Panasonic plasma 1080p monster, but it doesn't work on it at all.
And I know the port is good, it's where I hook up my PS3.
Not too concerned because I won't use that feature too much, but I was thinking of how some hotels now offer HDMI in, so that's awesome the next time I need to travel for work.
Load up some music, some TV shows, a couple games, AND I can even do some work. (Yeah, right!)
I tried mine yesterday on our Samsung and it worked well, I was pleasantly surprised how simple it was to use.
Yeah, me too! (After I put it on a different tv.)
I was also surprised how good it looked for mirroring the display after some people said it didn't look great. Surfed, read some e-mail, even started up the Samurai game and everything looked excellent.
Looking forward to the 3.1 update which supposedly will support 1080p!

Hdmi problem
I couldn't get my TF to work on my Sony Bravia TV. I loaded Clemsyn's kernel (v17) and it now works fine.
clemsyms kernal works for me using 50"panasonic plasma
I don't see how one rom works better than stock on hdmi unless something specific has been added or changed in reference to it. Is that what you are saying?
I do know pluging in the mini hdmi connector into the TF firmly was the difference between it working or not working on my sammy. BTW it looks great and surfing the internet on my TV has taken on a lot greater meaning since. Lots better than my lame PS3's browser
I had the same problem hooking up to my dad's tv, not completely sure of the brand of it. Samsung or Sharp.
Anyway, it would not work on any of the 3 hdmi inputs that were not being used up, so I tried plugging it into the input where his dtv recorder box was connected, and it worked.
Not sure if the tv had a setting in the setup menu's that would have made it work but I couldn't find anything that would have made it work on the other hdmi inputs. I had 3 different cables with me that I tried so that wasn't part of the problem.
I also remember the tablet was saying it was connected to hdmi but there was no video or audio on the tv on the other 3 inputs. Very strange. Works great on my LG I woulda been on one of the 3.1 unrooted asus updates at the time.
that's my experience with hdmi not working, hopefully it helps someone, someday
where is the solution?????
A solution has already been given above. The clemsyn kernel has a fix. Other than that you'd have to wait for a fix from ASUS

but if i install clemsyn kernel i lost all my data, the kernel reset all the tablet?

You wont lose any of your data. Just flash it via CWM Recovery without wiping/formatting.

TV out cable 3.5mm jack. not working

Back part of the cable's box
so how do i do with this problem? or it's not a working version for my SGS i9000?
i am having the same problem, tv out not working i am on slim ics 3.2 with stock kernel.. i checked my cable is fine (i checked it on other vibrant and tv out was working) but not in my i9000 any solution?

The device didn't act weird, only the messed up screen on tv. Our tv is 32" flat screen philips. Xbox and other gadgets works fine.. I'll try it on other tv later.

Is the sound weird too? Try swithing PAL and NTSC modes. Try swithing one of the audio cables (red, white) with the video (yellow) cable.
Are you sure TV out works on slim ICS? If you wanted to be sure you could try flashing a stock rom, (not sure if any ICS rom supports it)
got exactly the same problem with exactly the same cable and 100% the same outcome. im on slim 3.3 with semaphore 1.0s
had the same problem way back with 2.3.x with darkyrom.. didnt care then but i do care now.. so how to solve this ^^
I tried it with other tv. With non flat screen, also philips brand. Doesn't also work the sound is just working but not the video, sound is not that good compare to phone itself and or speaker. I will try to change rom, I'll go back to stock, but i care about my temple run data. Because when i backed it up, and then came ics.. i restore app+data but the game was restarted. :/
I tried switching the red yellow and white cable. Doesn't work either. On slim ics, the tv out was option to enable/disable was working correctly but not on the tv itself. It could detect when the cable is plugged in. That was on galaxy s settings app on ics.

When I tried using a cable made for camcorders with my phone I got a similar
result.
My best guess is that the camcorder cables have a slightly different connector than the ones used with smart-phones, probably because the phone's video and audio jack is the same so it has to work a little differently.
I did manage to get it working though, by pulling the connector slowly out of the phone's jack and wiggling it a bit I got a clear picture, but doing so you lose one of the audio channels.
Good luck!
i made it work. you can either order the original samsung cable (not a camcorder one but the phone one) or i heard the Nokia CA-75U works too. the nokia one is about 2€ here where the samsung is 10€..
but fml, it works.
Has the cable ever worked to your knowledge? Have you ever used a different one?
I got one of these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370496876842?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
and it works on CM9, AOKP, CM7 (basically all the ROMs I have flashed)
I got the same results as the OP when I first tried to do TV out but that was with a cable I already owned that came with a camcorder...
Bottom line is it will only work with a cable that is wired for the SGS (like the one I've linked to)

Help: is my HDMI out broken?

I tried to connect my infinity to a 40" Samsung led tv, but all the blacks are rendered pinkish. See attached image.
Already I tried two identical micro hdmi cables.
I cannot tell whether:
- cable just doesn't support infiniy
- hdmi out broken, hw issue
- yet another jelly bean issue
- some weird combination of the above
Cable is http://www.amazon.co.uk/BlueRigger-Speed-Micro-Ethernet-Meters/dp/B00609B3J2/ref=pd_sim_ce_1
Tv is
"Samsung UE40C6530 40-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p 100Hz Slim AllShare LED Internet TV with Freeview HD"
My infinity is the US model, but TV is UK.
Weird thing that it worked once, but not ever since than.
Cheers
just a quick update.
it worked one more time, picture was perfect, but then quickly switched the input on the TV back and forth (using the remote, without touching the cable, tablet or the TV ) and it broke again, I think this rules out that the cable has contact issues
could it be that the TV is not detecting the signal properly?

Most common issues:
"So what problems does HDMI regularly encounter? "Many problems have nothing to do with high-speed video," says Jeff. "The majority are issues with I2C, the serial protocol used on the DDC line for EDID (Plug and Play) and HDCP (high Bandwidth Digital content Protection).
"I2C is slow, but very susceptible to stray capacitance issues from connectors, cables or anything the electrical bus is connected to. If capacitance gets to a critical point, it slows the signal 'rise time' needed for proper communication. You can have all the high-speed data bandwidth in the world, but without DDC, you're dead in the water."
Possible results are "failures such as no audio, no picture, pink screen or flashing – it has nothing to do with the high-speed data lines. The video can be perfect, but if the DDC line has rise-time issues, the unit will not pass HDCP, and no picture will be displayed."
TROUBLESHOOTING:
HDMI connection troubleshooting
"Flashes, no audio, or pink screen are usually caused by a bad DDC line. You have to eliminate all the good things to find the bad. Power up the system with all the HDMI cables connected, then try with shorter cables to see if the system works at all. If the system still fails to come on, use different inputs.
"Stray capacitance may be inherent in the hardware, so try a DDC line conditioner which can eliminate a lot of problems. 'If the picture comes on, then goes off, it's likely one of the video TMDS channels has a high bit error rate. Many times the picture comes back with tear lines through it.
"The second case is that the DDC line is just not quite making it, and HDCP is not getting a new refresh key. Here, replace the cable or make it shorter. If all else fails, again try conditioning.
Since we have seen multiple issues with HDMI out with the TF700, I would suggest it is likely a combination of the tablet's DCC and the TV getting a little picky on the signal.
Best advise I can give is to try different TVs, cables and sources. That way you can deduce if the issue is the tab, tv, or cable. If you consistently get a pink inversion on any tv or monitor you connect the tab to... then send the tf700 back and get a replacement.

I had this issue before and it's the cable. I could watch for 10 min or so then the color changed, then later it's back to normal. My solution is instead of buying another cable, I used my current hdmi cable, which working for my tv for years and just get a hdmi adapter (mini hdmi with regular hdmi female adapter) from Amazon for a few bucks and it works wonder.
http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Female-M...=1350923284&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+hdmi+adapter
Everyone seems pretty sure about the cable, easy thing to check. However, I would saw that you should also (Lightly) jiggle the cable in the HDMI port. towards the top then the bottom, front, then back. My tablet has isses with the HDMI as well, but when I push the cable to the front (so the tip is touching closer to the back of the tablet using the outer end of the port as a fulcrum) I get picture/audio perfectly. I have to wrap the cable under the dock if I want to watch a movie or something so that it stays this way though.
I guess it could still be my cable, but that seems unlikely. *sigh* it used to work perfectly all the time....

Is that picture from the Infinity or the TV. My response below is based on the assumption it's the infinity.
When the cable is connected, but no picture, are you still getting this above? If so, then I would say the TV doesn't like the signal it's getting. I'm not sure what the output is exactly on the Infinity. In general, the north america signals are a 60hz, wheereas the UK is 59hz. If the TV cannot take a 60hz, then it's going to be continuing problem. You may want to try a different a different input on the TV such as DVI and use a HDMI-DVI adapter. I don't think it'll work though.
I would trying fiddling with the TV settings. Maybe turn the TV off than back on. Of maybe you'll need unplug or replug in the cable from the tablet.
I have an issue here and them with a 16" HDTV, but my cable has a short, so I know it's the cable. Mine, when there is no picture, it doesn't show the above.

This is how it looks on the tv, taken a shot with my phone. Tried to move, push, twist etc the cable, but picture always pinkish. Also tried turning Tv / tablet on off, no luck.

Not to be an ass but look at the picture, clearly it is a Samsung TV that this image is on.
if it's the pink color issue, I would try one of the other TV picture settings and see if that helps. My response prior was for no picture on the TV.
It's possible that tablet is pushing out that pinkish signal, but newer TVs will do a lot fiddling with the signal before it hits the screen.
I have a very basic HDMI problem in that I get nothing at all from the tablet with and HDMI cable plugged in to it. Trouble is, I can't recall what behavior to expect apart from it displaying on my TV; I haven't used HDMI since got the Infinity. I tired using it on my Prime with HBO GO only to find HDMI out is restricted. But, it did work. Anyway, with the Inifnty, I get nothing. The video will continue to display on the tablet. Like others, I have no HMDI settings available anywhere within any settings menu. So, at this point I don't know if it is a hardware defect or software.
I am on Jellybean US 10.4.4.16 build, unlocked and rooted. Any help will be appreciated.
