Do i need to turn the hdmi on after i plugged in the cable? I have a hdmi cable that i use for my playbook. it is working great, i have no issue connecting my playbook to my tv through it, I just got my g2x last night, and i tried to use hdmi, and i couldn't connect it to my tv whatsoever. Does anyone know why this may happen? Thanks in advance.

i bought a "ebay" 15 ft mini hdmi to hdmi and it works fine
there is no need to "turn it on" through the phone! its automatic
TRY going to the HDMI in settings and swtich "auto" to 1080p or 720p
ALSO make sure your on the right hdmi channel via input button on remote/tv

I think I might have a defected hdmi port on my g2x...pretty sure my hdmi cable works... I bought the phone on CL for 300(sold my g2 for 320), so i can't return it....
You have to push down on the phone end of the cable pretty damn hard.

+1 --> it's as if the hdmi cables don't fit right -- just push down really hard on it into the phone. The connection is automatic though, no need to change settings or activate output or anything.

I have a 5' micro hdmi I bought from amazon and the casing around the micro plug is a bit bulky and snags a little on the case of my g2x. I had to press firmly to get it to work, but it does work. I am going to take a razor blade to the plastic casing around my micro plug and see if that helps.
My 25 radio shack cable works flawlessly.

My TV is a 1080P... For some reason my G2x won't let me select over 420 - tells me my TV isn't 1080. Any suggestions?

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.

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.
One of the displays I need to connect with the Transformer only have dsub and dvi connections. Has anybody hooked up their tablet through an hdmi/dvi converter?
I have no hdmi cables to test out, and didn't want to spend the couple of bucks for a cable that I have no use for.
Good question. Bumping to get attention.

I haven't received mine yet, but I think a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable -> HDMI to DVI adapter -> DVI cable should work.
It works for me, at least, I'll just be leaving the DVI cable on my desk and taking the HDMI cable with me when I leave work.
I'll post my results when it arrives on monday.
Edit: May just be able to put the adapter on the monitor and skip the cable altogether.
Like I said, I'll post

I have bought a dvi to HDMI converter to try this out, but have not been near a monitor with dvi input all week. I'll update you on Monday, when I return to work.
I appreciate it guys.

It will work fine, since all the signals are digital. Yes it really is that simple.
Except that I haven't seen a single mention as to whether the TF is using HDCP for it's HDMI output. If that's the case then a DVI converter will not work.

I'm pretty sure HDCP has to do with the monitor/tab not the i/o. My Dell 2407WFP is HDCP, has no HDMI (DVI/VGA only) and my TF works with it.

35$ is too much though. Cheaper options on ebay i bet.
.im facing that problem now with my computer monitor. I hooked up the pad by two seperated ways-first with a dvi2hdmi adapter connected to a simple dvi cable, didnt work.second try was with a special 5 meters dvi2hdmi cable.again.didn't work. I don't know what to do? I tried it with another dvi lcd and it just saying that the monitor went to sleep mode.
Important to say that mirroring to a TV LCD or plasma works great whitout any problem.
What's the dvi problem?
i tried this with a samsung monitor. using dvi-to-hdmi-to-minihdmi adapter. i don't know if it's just 1 adapter too many, but it doesn't seem to work.
I don't need a signature.

Didn't work for me. The monitor just doesn't see the Transformer. Might be a dodgy adapter because the HDMI cable works fine.
Didn't work for me either with 3 different types of Dells at work. Just registered after lurking for weeks just to comment on this issue!
I can't post the URLs as a noob but the cable and converter are from Amazon.
I have newer Dells at home I can test with but that was not the point...

yeah, you need a MHL adapter like bonesy posted
Hey thanks guys... I thought its a simple way...lol..
Why didn't they make mini hdmi like the one in Sony Eric phones... ?
Btw... I don't understand the USB power port in mhl adapter. do we need to plug in our USB power adapter charger in that mhl adapter? Its a power source necessary for this mhl?
I bought an MHL adapter off ebay.
I have found that I need to plug in the charger to the cable but that might just be because I am using the HDMI through an auto switcher that doesn't have it's own power (gets the power from HDMI input). I haven't tried with the HDMI straight into the TV.
I watched a film over HDMI last night and the quality was really good even though it wasn't even a HD movie.
Just get the cheapest one you can find on ebay... they all use the same standard (MHL).

HD doesn't really mean **** if you know what you are doing.
It's all about using high bitrates, low-artifact, low noise, etc when encoding videos. I'd rather have a 25Mbps 720p than a 10MBps 1080p.

Just read this:
The power cable must be connected to the adapter while using it to send video and audio through HDMI. Power charger is not included in packaging. The MHL adapter features an USB Micro-B (female) power input. Connect the charger supplied with your mobile device to the MHL adapter to power your mobile device while it is in use.

oN second thought, I believe it can also take power from a USB port. so If ur TV has a USB port then u can simply plugin the adapter with it to supply power and use HDMI cable to connect...

Just tried with the side HDMI port on my TV which is next to the USB port and it worked.
Most TV's even cheap ones have a USB on them these days.
And yes... completely agree about the HD video comment. It was a very good DVD rip I had done with a decent bit rate.

Recently I order a brand new MediaBridge HDMI cable from Amazon from a friend for use in India in a sealed box & it did not work when I attached it to the phone & my Dell laptop. What could be the reason? Is there any symbol supposed to pop up on the phone or the laptop & on hindsight I just got thinking (gave the cable back now) in case if no symbol is supposed to pop up would directly playing a video on the phone while the hdmi cable is attached make it play on the laptop??
Don't want to be a smartass or anything but I hope you're selecting HDMI as the Source on your TV.
As I mentioned I tried on my Dell laptop running Win 7....is there anything specific I needed to do besides just connecting either ends between the phone & the laptop to get the HDMI working?

I'm sure it the HDMI Micro to HDMI connection from phome to laptop will not work. Laptop HDMI should only be an output, not an input. It will work from phone to a monitor or tv. Once connected you will be prompted to make a choice on the A2 for a display mode.
I bought a Dynex cable from BB that works fine with the Atrix 2 when connected to a monitor or tv.

Thanks. Yes you are right it is a micro hdmi (phone) to regular HDMI port on the Laptop. DAYMN..they should specify to unsuspecting users like me. IMHO many people would not be aware about this.
Bare with me here... though this may turn into a convoluted solution.
I already own a galaxy s2, along with the HDMI adaptor for it (I believe this is a microUSB -> HDMI adaptor?)
Unfortunatly, the Note does not have microUSB ports, or even a normal USB port. So, I was going to buy this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/eKit-Connec...1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1353974512&sr=1-2
Unfortunately, of course, this also does not have microUSB. But it does have miniUSB and normal USB.
So if I get an adaptor such as - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002O1S8...de=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B002O1S8IE
...Will this mean I can use my current S2 HDMI adaptor, on my Note10.1?
While this may seem overly complex, my reasoning is (I think) sound. I will be getting the USB adaptor block anyway, because it is compact and universally useful. And I already own the hdmi adaptor (a Note-specific one is £25 minimum...far as I can see).
So the only extra expense is the £2 for a micro-mini USB adaptor. Saving me £23.
...assuming this will even work.
Any notions?
I do not know for sure but I thought I read somewhere the first adapter will not allow video pass through. Sorry I do not know where I read that at.
I use the hdmi adapter made for the original tab 10.1 and have had no issues. I think its 30$ on Samsung website but i'm sure you could find it cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. Or even an off brand for that matter. Sorry Its not much but I hope that helps.

That was my plan. The galaxy S2hdmi cable is a micro-USB to hdmi converter.
Apparently the 4in1 USB adapter doesn't let any video signal through though. Uyoud have to buy a 30pin to hdmi adapter instead.
Just tried my mhl adapter from my one x no joy shame really maybe someone will find away around it
