Hi All,
Ive had my O3D for 2 weeks now and im loving it, best phone ive had by miles.
The only problem i'm having with it is that I cant get it to output to a tv.
I bought a micro HDMI cable from ebay for a couple of quid and tried it on a Toshiba tv and it worked but there was a red tinge to it and kept turning off. So I tried it on a Sony Bravia and nothing came up at all. Lastly I tried it on a cheap hanspree tv and it worked but with the same red tinge and it flickered really bad.
I contacted the ebay seller and he sent me a new cable which does not have the red tinge to it but still doesnt display on the Sony Bravia and flickers on the Hanspree.
I havn't tried it on the Toshiba yet cus I dont have access to it at the moment but im assuming its gunna work on it.
I have tried to change the settings on the phone but none of options make a difference.
I had a quick google and it says that HDMI 1.4 should be backwards compatible with all other revisions so im stumped.
Any ideas? anyone else had similar issues? I need it working on the Sony and the hanspree cus thats what I use in my house.
Thanks for reading.

Phone is Stock V10d Rooted
None of the tv's are 3D (does that make a difference? I presume not)

I went out and bought a micro HDMI to HDMI cable at frys the other day. It shows the picture and all but the xoom lags like none other when I put it in. Even a short swipe of the screen makes it pop up the add new widgets, wallpapers and so on. I was wondering what could be the problem with it? Its a non-rooted wifi only xoom.

i have similar problem with my HDMI cable. When ever I connect the xoom reboot it self work for few second then stop. After unplug and replug againsame cycle reboot.
Though this was working fine before! !!!!!
Mine works great with my LG set. The only thing when I plug it in the black bar at the bottom doubles in size on the xoom and doesn't reset after I unplug it. I have to reboot anyone have a fix?

I picked up a the cord and it worked great.
The only issue I found was neither tv I tried it on could adjust overscan. On one tv the size adjustments were greyed out? and the other didn't respond to changes to picture size.
I will test this when I get my cable this week, should have by Tuesday.

Does your TV have some sort of smoothing like running at 120Hz or 240 in some cases? If there's a "game" mode then usually that runs at 60Hz without a delay because it doesn't have to interpolate in-between frames.

Confirmed this works just change your AV setting on your tv and find the one that works best.

Glad that helped.
Well I tried again today and I found the reboot problem is ONLY with the Youtube, but not with any other applications ... can somebody confirm if they has issues watching Youtube through HDMI !
I am on my 1st warranty phone of the G2X and it was having overheating issues, i think i have solved that (I wasn't formating the /system in clockwordmod, so i think old files were conflicting and causing cpu time to be eaten and burn up my phone, now it's staying a good 31c while asleep and unplugged, but now i can't use the hdmi out on the TV, i can with my computer monitor but not my tv, on my brand new g2x, the one before i got this warranty one, the hdmi to my tv worked, but it was overheating...but most likely not becuase of the phone but because i was going from rom to rom incorrectly....i have only tried it with Ultimate G2x 1.0 ROM, I am probably going to switch to CM7 w/ faux123's new 0.1.7 kernel if alot of ppl say good things about the new battery reading changes. idk i just wanted to see if other people have HDMI issues with diff tv's or diff roms....i work by a radio shack so i'm going to try it on one of their tvs.

I have this same problem, it is a hardware problem caused by using an HDMI cord that caused a short. Lots of people are getting this due to using monoprice cords. Search g2x HDMI monoprice. Unfortunately it is a hardware problem that cannot be fixed, when you sent in your phone on warranty they probably sent you back a refurbished that was broken by someone else. You need to send it back ASAP and ask for new phone not a refurbished.
well if the output of the phone was burnt out, then it wouldn't work either way. Just make sure all the settings are correct. Your monitor is probably 1080p or better. Your TV?
There were some issues with settings and auto. There could be a number of issues at hand and/or it could just be the phone.
I would try another rom. CM7's works pretty well. There are no settings and AUTO is hardcoded.
I've played with the HDMI out with my monitor and while it works, sometimes I had to screw with the orientation, unplug/replug, toggle phone display on/off, etc.
Once the monitor detects the output, it is golden. But I think there is a period where the monitor looks for a signal and after that period, if nothing is found, it stops looking. Could be the same way with the TV.

I would like to think that its something that could be fixed, but I have tried flashing multiple ROMs including a virgin stock froyo all with the same result.
My HDMI did work properly when I was using a short generic HDMI that I got with my accessory kit, but as soon as I plugged in the monoprice HDMI the battery level instantly dropped to 0% followed by the smell of burning electronics, now the HDMI out only works on a PC monitor but never a TV. I literally went to Sears and they let me plug it in to 15 different TVs and none of them worked. From what I have been reading in these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057564
http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/T-Mobile-G2x/HDMI-crashing-phone/td-p/824403
It seems to be pretty common and no one has been able to get their HDMI to work properly after it fails.
What I would like is if there was some was of forcing HDMI on instead using the auto.
Is anyone having a problem with the hdmi signal cutting out on their g2x? i plug it in and i was watching a netflix movie, it would go black for about 2 seconds and then show again. Thought it might be a netflix problem till i tried youtube and also playing a movie off of my sdcard. The picture looks great and it seems to be working perfect accept for the screen going black. Its pluged into a50 inch plasma 1080p tv and im using eaglebloods gingerbread rom which doesnt have hmdi options in the settings is this an issue with that rom?
same.
I have the problem, its so annoying, only happens when mirroring hd video. Maybe its the cheap ebay cable im using? or the rom?
if you guys are using CM7 its a common issue since CM doesnt support HDMI output. thats why there isnt a setting of it, of course it still works with games and everything but the movie playing is what it has a problem with. hope this helps
Heya guys
Im having a strange problem with my only 1 week old Transformer TF101. I was told, this would be the place to ask, so I really hope someone can assist me
I bought a Transformer as a HDMI-out multimedia solution for my TV and the first week everything worked like a charm. But suddenly, for no reason, it wont show on my LG 50" Plasma. I then tried it on my older Samsung in the bedroom and to my surprise there was no problems connecting the tablet, it showed right away.
I then figured, cable? So I took the cable from the bedroom, but with no succes. HDMI-in on TV then, i thought? But nope. Everything else shows connecting it with the TV's HDMI. PC etc.
I am currently sitting with tablet I cannot use for the purpose I bought it for. What to do? Any help, is very much appreciated!
Ps. my plasma tells that something is connected to the HDMi and even tries to connect, but the tablet does nothing and then the TV says "no signal".
There is no way to change any setting for hdmi on the tf, so I guess yor tv is the problem. Maybe you changed a setting? I only had a problem wit over- and underscan. Try looking into the tv menu... thats my guess

I didnt change anything in the TV's menu and ive looked for settings that could have an influence, but non found. I had the tablet unplugged and when I plugged it to the HDMI the next day, it didnt work, after working 100% for almost a week.
Try a custom kernel. Last year the tf had trouble displaying on some TVs like Sony. About September or so an update came out that solved the issue. I'm guessing the stock kernel still has trouble with LG TVs.

But if it worked? And to be honest, I wouldn't want to have to flash a custom kernel just for simple HDMI out!
And that it works on the other TVs is also strange. I have a LG Monitor and have no problems...
You could just try reseting it to ensure that it's not something in the tablet. Or reset the TV?
So.... something strange has happened.
After not having worked for 2 days, it suddenly worked again. The tablet detects the connected HDMI cabel and the picture shows on the plasma instantly. Im like what the ****? I havent changed anything on neither the tablet or the TV. Dunno if I should be happy or worried, since id like for it to work, when I actually have to use it
I heard from someone that its better to use the HDMI/DVI, than the regular HDMI on the TV, im currently using. Can anyone confirm this?
I am using clean ROM 4.0 DE and when I try to use my MHL adapter I lose signal on my phone everytime. Not only do I lose signal but when I try to just display a movie that I have on my phone, it freezes and wont play. I checked to see if the movie paused but it didn't. I can do everything else (as long as a data connection isn't required). I have not tried via wifi but that really doesn't matter much cause I don't have wifi where I am lookign to use MHL. Is this a ROM issue or a known issue with the HOX and MHL. I had the same issue on r113 or the Nocturnal ROM as well.
Is it an OEM HTC MHL adaptor? Or a third party brand?

Third party from amazon

I get a really grainy, probably only 850x480 picture on mine. Same with my Evo 3D. Both are running ICS. The 3D was full 720/1080p out before updating.
Sorry to hear that. I just got this yesterday. And it really works! Sadly landscape mode doesn't work properly on cyanogenmod 9 so I went back to ARHD and have the full screen landscape setup. Good thing about this adapter is that It already has an HDMI cable builtin you can even pair it with this dock(btw I bought 2)..1 for work and 1 when at home.

I'm using a 3rd party MHL adapter from MONOprice, about $10. I had this issue and realized it was due to the One X's screen timeout. I set power settings to display on always when charged, and it works fine. Try it.
