mini hdmi out does nothing - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so i picked up a mini hdmi to hdmi cable today and hooked it up to my tablet and my panasonic lcd tv today and i get no notifications on the tablet and no display on the tv at all...bad calble bad tablet or bad tv? the hdmi ports work with my dish, xbox and bluray so it shouldnt be the tv. its a dynex cable from best buy (i work there so its dirt cheap) i dont have another tv readily available to test with and nothing else that uses mini hdmi either.

Can't solve anything without another cable imo, bring it back and exchange it for another one.

*If* it is only a problem is Panasonic TVs I would not pester Asus to fix it. I would pester Panasonic to fix it. That being said if there are other manufacturers with the same issues then it is not Panasonic, but Asus who have screwed the standards up.

I've just tried same thing. Cheap cable from ebay. Hooked up my canon pocket camera and it worked fine on a Samsung TV. Tried the TF and nothing. Also tried a restart while cable was still connected but nothing.
Im on Prime 1.6.
I just tried again pushing the cable in properly this time on the TF. It works fine - hooray.

Works fine with most Samsung TVs, but other brands seem to give it trouble.

Does the hdmi out work properly on your tf?

i just cant get mine to work.... i tried to connect to my 32" LG , its recognize the connection in the tf , but the TV don't show anything (its also make my device very slow and the status bar bigger).
My device is on revolver 3.2 , clemsyn kernel , any suggestions?
Thank you

Works perfectly on stock with my 42" LG. I would suspect kernel driver issues if you're rooted. Can you go back to stock and try it?
didn't work on stock , that's why i rooted
Mine works fine. Could be a cable issue.

The first thing I would suspect would not be the stock OS, to be honest. Check the cable, check your TV manual to see if it supports the tablet resolution, check a bunch of other things, but don't root to try to fix it.

The first time I tried to use my TF on the big screen failed but it turned out to be the cable.
Second cable worked fine.
And I'm not rooted (yet
I tried with another cable same problam, maybey its the mini HDMI to HDMI convertor ?

Just checked mine, works just fine. I am using stock software on a Vizio 42" with a cheap mini hdmi cable.
found this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074816&page=2
look it trough
Works fine for me on both my Panasonics (56" plasma and 47" lcd) and various other HDTV's that I've tried while travelling over the last month or two...
Works OK on my Philips lcd tv.
I'm running Revolver 3.2.
In case it doesn't work I would try another cable and another TV.

Xbox 360 controller

I recently recieved my dock and decided to try and plug in my xbox controller into it. It plugged in fine but when I press the xbox button it didn't flash at all. Is there an app I need to download or is it something else? (I am unrooted and don't plan on rooting)
Wireless (with play and charge kit) or Wired controller?

Wireless with play and charge
Are you on ICS still or JB? Cause on ICS mine too didn't recognized it at first, but after some reboots it came to its senses. Ive played dead trigger and shadowgun just fine.
Haven't tried it still on JB
<EDIT> Ive just seen your post about having the wireless, mine is wired
On older versions of windows... the lights don't necessarily light up (haven't used it with 7 or vista) son it may be that its connected and working just not lit up...

Wireless doesn't work like that AFAIK. I'm unrooted as well but i got the wireless controller to work by purchasing and using an xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver. A 3rd party one should work

It didn't work for me when i tried which is what led me to buying the wireless gaming receiver
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
this will not work because the play & charge kit is a power-only connection, it's for recharging your battery only (i.e. no actual input data is transmitted via usb).
i haven't tried connecting an xbox controller to my transformer yet, but i guess you will need a wireless receiver at the very least...
I can confirm that the wireless receiver works

False.
My buddies and I use play and charge kits all the time on our laptops for long road trips. I happen to have a wired controller so I use that more often...

At least for _original_ Xbox 360 wireless controllers the Play & Charge kit does not transmit any input data via USB. (While that doesn't have to mean anything, Wikipedia seems to agree with me )
Just to make sure, I plugged in my wireless controller - while yes, an entry gets added to device manager, it does _not_ add an actual input device...for this to happen, a wireless receiver is needed.

I tried and tried to get my xbox 360 controller to work on my tablet with the play and charge usb. I finally gave up and got the bluetooth controller from Gamestop. It's not as solid of a controller but it works great so far.

How should I broadcast my Nexus 5 onto my HDTV?

I have a normal HDTV and I am new to mirroring or streaming things from my phone to my TV. I don't want to use any cables and I'm looking to have as little lag as possible.
Is there any dongle or set top box that I can buy and plug it up to my tv? If so, which is the best?

Netgear PTV3000. Just remember.. The device needs an update right out of the box to work.
Chromecast for $35 should work.
Yes the CC works for Netflix/Youtube/GoogleMusic but device mirroring isn't available.... yet.

HDMI out with usb

Is it possible to use the hdmi out and connect a usb peripheral? I have a bunch of lapdocks laying around and it would be cool to be able to use them with this phone with a couple adapters.
Lack of replies make me think this isnt possible.
Yes. With the right mhl adaptor it is entirely possible.
As far as controlling them with the lapdocks.... No. We dont have the software needed. You should still be able to display to them though.

I think the mouse and keyboard on the lapdock is just usb. So as long as i can get it all wired right I think it should work. Any idea what the right MHL adapter is?
I wouldn't risk it tbh. You would have to splice and dice. If i remember correctly, the laptops are made for a dual connection, ie. HDMI and USB at the same time. I'm not sure that this phone is capable of that, seeing as the USB and mhl have to go into the same place.
I think I remember seeing someone trying this before and it failed.
Just about and HDMI adapter on amazon should work. The one I got years ago cost me maybe $8 with shipping.

Expect the d802 doesn't use mhl it uses slimport.

Why is that relevant? This thread is in a Verizon HTC One M8 forum . . . And the M8 uses MHL.

sorry thought this was on the g2 q&a my bad
Using a Samsung micro USB - HDMI worked fine for me using the GPE rom. I was able to have my screen display on my TV with no issues. I was hoping to use this to stream FIOS Mobile to a Hotel TV. Unfortunately, when FIOS Mobile sees an HDMI connection, it won't stream
You do need to power this connection. If not, you'll get nothing. This is the cable I used...
So maybe my original post wasnt clear? I know we can get hdmi out of the usb port. What i wanted to know is if there is an adapter that allows you do hdmi out AND connect a usb mouse or keyboard at the same time. On the samsung s4 or s5 or one of them, there was a media dock that allowed this. Not sure if the hardware is here on the m8 to do something similar.
EDIT: This thing: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
I think samsung uses a proprietary 11pin mhl to do what im talking about. Pretty sure the m8 just has the normal mhl, 5 pin or whatever so this isnt possible. If anyone knows different let me know. I sure wish this phone had a dedicated micro hdmi port.
