[Q] HDMI Out isn't displayed properly - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Motrola Xoom is hooked up to a Motorola Speaker Dock, and when I do the HDMI out to my TV, the display on the TV is zoomed in and to the left, like its only displaying the bottom left quarter of the device. Any suggestions? I am running "My Wingray 20130115"

Maybe the problem is on your TV, did you change any settings like "Zoom" and such? Try plugging it on another TV or the Xoom standalone, even another HDMI port, maybe you can find the problem this way , also you can try updating the Xoom to the latest nightly, this version you're using is quite old I think, but AFAIK it should be working . Anyway, give it a try
Good luck,

[Q] HDMI connection icon shown, but no video/sound on TV

I went to use HDMI output for the first time on the transformer today. I plugged it in, received the notification icon that HDMI was connected and the audio on the TF muted (redirected to the HMDI port), but I see no video or sound on the TV.
I know the cable is ok because it worked with my archos tablet.
The cable is pluggged in all the way and I've tested on two ports.
Any suggestions?

I have the exact same problem! Do I really have to root and apply a custom rom to get this feature?
i tried today to hook up my hdmi with 1/2 success. I get picture but no sound...
HDMI was fixed for me in one of the past ASUS updates - maybe with Honeycomb 3.2...
My biggest annoyance, however, is the fact that the bottom bar gets cutoff on my TV, so I can't access the back, home, multitask and menu buttons when using my bluetooth keyboard/mouse... kind of a pain.

What you need is custom kernel, not custom rom. The problem is compatibility issue with certain name brand tv's. I highly recommend clemsyn kernel. It's compatible with most tv's out there.

He's right. I had the same problem with hdmi out and solved it with clemsyns kernel.
But then came another problem, video subtitles doesn't show on the tv u.u
I just flashed Clemsyn's latest, Version 22A. Still nothing on my 32" Vizio, and I get glitchy static and half functionality on my Insignia 32" *Best Buy Brand*. And what does work, I don't have the bar on the bottom either Anyone have expirence with Vizio? I duno if it's the TV but from what I have seen Vizio doesn't play nice with any PC type inputs

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.
Just ordered a different, shorter cable, will report back once get it.

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.

[A510] HDMI

Lacking a510 general forum. For some reason the a510 only outputs 720p to my 1080p capable tv. Even my cheap Onda dual core tab can output crisp 1080p. There's also the lack of HDMI settings in Settings, all my devices that had HDMI slots had them, weird that Acer omits it.
Is the a700 the same? Or is this another a510 blunder(after releasing it so close to a700).
I have to agree with you that it's weird that Acer has omitted any HDMI settings.
The A700 outputs 1080p to my Panasonic tv.
The only problem I'm having is that I'm missing the corners. It's not just this tv, so it's the output that's wrong...
So, how to setup HDMI in iconia a700? I can't believe that we don't have a way to do this!
Sent from my A700 using Tapatalk 2
I don't set up anything. It's just plugging in the cable on both ends and it works... ish (at least the 1080p).
It's, like I said before, not showing the corners and one thing I forgot to mention: It doesn't show a bit of the bottom because of the status bar, more than that it actually takes (this happens not only on the outputted screen, but also on the screen of the tablet).
When I use a (root) app to hide the status bar, it suddenly uses almost everything on the bottom of the screen.
I tried searching for an app which is able to change the output somehow, but with no results
Seems like Google needs to release an update with (HDMI) video output fixes.

wireless miracast screen mirroring with Netgear PTV 3000

Wireless miracast screen mirroring with netgear PTV3000 works fine with occasional stuttering with full HD videos.
See my upload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxZKpg3o-dk&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Gaming there is a lag sometimes with stuttering but works fine usually for videos and photos and Google music and presentations etc. Great accessory. Just hope they enable this feature for screen mirroring for my nexus 7 too soon
for those who don't have the allshare cast hub or other wireless display solution check out sku 7511057 at bestbuy.com. Best Buy has a SMALL rocketfish miracast adapter that works with the s3, s4, note 2, and anything else miracast.

This looks interesting in that it looks like it can be powered entirely from the TV. But I have had Rocketfish products before and they are not that great.
I'm especially interested in the range and latency, Someone shed some light on this.

I don't have any miracast dongle but my guess is that you have a debloated rom which removed all share cast or something relevant to the miracast function.
I have the PTV3000 and so far I have connected my S4, Xperia ZL, Note II, S3, and my Centrino laptop.
For connecting the Note II and S3, you have to use the Samsung AllShare Cast app. It usually takes 2-3 tries to get it to connect the first time, but when it does connect to the adapter the first time subsequent connections seem to happen right away. Also, the Note II and S3 seemed to lose all wifi when connected...any data pulled from the internet seemed to need mobile data (ie. streaming Youtube means using the mobile data to get the Youtube video, and wifi is used to stream to the tv). On the S4, this limitation does not exist as both wifi and miracast works fine. I guess the S4 has an additional antenna or there is something in the ac standard that allows simultaneous transmission and download.
The range is excellent...streaming works a good 50-60 feet away. There is lag no matter how close, so I would say its not ideal for gaming, but for just sharing our screen its great.
The S4 gets really, really hot as well...say goodbye to battery life with this of course.
If you get the PTV, make sure you update the firmware as a lot of bugs were present in the previous firmware. Works great now.

no my SGS4 is stock rom (GT-I9505) and the PTV3000 worked out of the box as shown in the video and later works with updated firmware from netgear website. I have not tried the beta firmware from google forums yet. The links to all this is in my youtube video description.
I have made other uploads of this working with my dell laptop and another video showing the latency. To note the latency, rather than watch the latency video continuously, you need to pause the video intermittently on youtube and see the timer difference between my phone and TV and you will note that latency is between 250-350milliseconds. Ok for videos and photos and angry birds etc but not for any time sensitive gaming. If interested in those videos then click the link on my tag line below which will take you to my uploads on youtube
I think if you are rooted then there are some HDCP errors from what i read. So i read elsewhere that if you do the triangle away procedure then may work. I havent bothered rooting as am fine with the device as is. Its for my wife as the phone is too small for me I am waiting for the Note 3 or something better

powerpoint slides work fine too and using the allshare cast app on the S3 powerpoint slides are shown on the TV but phone shows both slide and extra notes at bottom which isnt shown on TV. so this will be useful for presentations
one difference i noted is that video play on the S4 screen and TV but on the S3 video plays only on TV and not the phone which just shows the allshare cast app

when you first connect the adapter to your TV and your S4 detects the adapter and then you click connect for the first time, then your TV should display a code which you need to enter on your S4 and then they should connect fine and the code wont be asked when they connect again. See if this helps. Did you input the right code displayed on your TV when the dongle is connected to your TV and powered and input signal on Tv shows the dongle output.
I dont think it asked me for a code? When I connect the rocketfish to my TV a rocketfish screen pops up with a setting button on the bottom left and some technical stuff like ssid and it says searching for peers then I flip on miracast on my s4 and it finds my TV and I connect. TV screen says connecting then connects then instead of my phone screen coming up some words come up and tells me my device doesnt support HDCP. I noticed that audio does come through like if I play YouTube I can hear the audio on my TV just no video Just a black screen.
I dunno if it's something in the rocketfish settings but I don't know how to get into the settings it doesn't come with a remote.

on my netgear i get this HDCP error too. First time i connected to netgear from my SGS4 the netgear input on the TV displayed a code to enter on my phone. my pone also showed a pop up box where i fed in the code. it hasnt asked me to give the code again.the same process happened when i connected my WiDi laptop to the netgear the first time. But even after feeding the code and accepting it, it still briefly brings up a HDCP error screen which is shown on my videos and then that error screen disappears and mirroring happens.
Have you rooted your phone and flashed a custom rom if so then you might be getting HDCP errors as far as i am aware and remedy is triangle away process as far as i am aware. Although i havent tried anything like that as havent needed to do it.
I'm not rooted. Thanks for the help I'll keep fooling with it see if I have any luck. It should work the lg og connects right away so maybe there's a setting or something I am overlooking.

when the s4 shows your adapter under miracast screen mirroring setting. click to forget device and start connection process as new device and see if you get the option to enter code and if so then it should solve the problem
Ok so I figured out if I hold down the link on my s4 to connect to the TV I get a pop up that says pin connection the rocketfish gives a pin I enter it On my phone then it connects only problem is I get the same message.

The S4 works fine with Rocketfish's Miracast receiver. I bought one last night at Best Buy to try it out. There is no code needed, but you do need to follow the instructions provided. When connecting for the first time do the following:
1. Turn off TV.
2. Insert receiver into an available HDMI port.
3. Insert the microUSB to receiver and USB to an available USB port on the back of your TV. This is to supply power to the receiver.
4. Turn on your TV and select the input you chose for the receiver.
5. You should see the Rocketfish splash screen.
6. Enable display mirroring on your S4.
7. Hit the WPS button on the receiver.
Within a few seconds you should be connected and see your S4 screen mirrored onto your TV. I've tried the receiver in both my Samsung and Sony TV's and both connected fine without any issues.
It works ok for the most part, but I most likely will return it as it does have its flaws. If you still have trouble, remember to return to Best Buy within 15 days of purchase along with all original packaging and contents for a full refund.

I have experienced the HDCP error message one time, but it was for the AppleTV using AirPlay. The same symptoms occurred: audio goes through but no video. However, the issue was I had an HDMI cable that didn't support HDCP. After I swapped out the HDMI cable the issue went away.
However, since the Rocketfish receiver is plugged directly into your TV's HDMI port and not via an HDMI cable, then I would suspect that your TV may be using non-HDCP components or you have a defective HDMI port on your TV. Try plugging it into another HDMI port or test it out on another TV to see if you have the same problem.
I did everything you described still get the error message I posted. I purchased mine on ebay... the box mine Came in is different then your box maybe I purchased some knock off crap? On the instructions that came with it it says I need to go into settings>display>wireless display and select the SSID noted in step 1. Only problem is I have no idea how to get into the settings you can't navigate into the settings?

[Q] HDMI output very low resolution

Hi,
I've had the shield a while and I have been trying to start using the console mode, however when I use it on my LG 42" TV in the living room as soon as I go into console mode it has loads of graphical errors and this is due to it running at 1920x1082. So I thought I would try it on my Dell 2407WFP which can go up to 1920x1200, I had to purchase a DVI adapter for this to work, it works fine in both console mode and normal mode however the resolution is very low only 640x480, is this caused by HDCP at all? Or is there something else I can do to fix this, its really annoying me now.
Thanks in advance for any help

It's the cinema 3d LED TV, 42LM5800. It ran @ 1920x1080 (1080P) on both my LG and sharp TV. Yet to test my Vizio TV but I'm sure there wont be any problems there either. I'm betting it's probably the cable. I tried an offbrand one on my xbox 360 and it would only work on 720p, and even then the picture didn't look quite right. I switched it out with another cable and it bumped up to 1080, tried using the cheapo again and it wouldnt work at all on my 360 at that point, however it did work just fine on my wife's laptop. I also had a cheapo for my acer a100 tab, and it worked for a couple weeks then just crapped out on me. If you could i would try finding another HDMI cable to use and eliminate the possibility of it being the one you bought.
When you plug in your HDMI cables does your shield recognize it and attempt to switch to console mode?
Sorry for OT guys, but I need to ask and don't want to start a new thread for this sole reason.
I am willing to buy the Shield and use it as an android living room PC, connected via HDMI to a 40" 1080p TV. When I connect the devices, will the Shield output in 1080p a will it basically mirror the screen onto the TV? Because that's what I want - mirroring the device on a 1080p TV.
Thanks
