[Q] HDMI output

So connecting my TF to a bravia w5500 does noting but dmesg shows hdmi handshake error.
In simple words the TF cant get a edid to know what kind of hardware is connected.
But who is ad fault here, my sony bravia or TF .
As note i only have problems with the TF every thing els is working with my bravia.
And i have a 1.4 cable (direct)
any one have same problems and dmesg ( i2c error reading edid )
Edit , a 1.3 cable does not fix it

Try plugging it to another HDMI devices and lets see what you get in dmesg.
I should try my HDMI port too to see how it works.

tested with some tv's all working

All bravia w5500 do not work , so whats up with this ( dont know if more bravia have this problems )

Try changing HDMI setup options of your TV, from a quick glance at the user manual of your TV, I can see there are lots of options for HDMI, some are specific to connecting Sony devices, try turning those off. My TV doesn't have that many HDMI options and it worked straight away.

Works fine with my Visio. I need to adjust the HDMI scaling on my TV but other than that, it's great!

Seems to work with my Bravia HX800.
Whats this HDMI scaling ?

Tested it last night. Connected my TF to my yamaha receiver's hdmi port. My only complaint is the audio volume is low and i have to crank up the receiver.

tf101 and Sony Bravia KDL 40 W 5500
Yes i have the configuration Sony Bravia KDL 40 W5500 and transformer, but with
the new cable that i receive today from ebay, the screen of my tv is black grrrrrr
but oon bravia near the icon hdmi, i can see an blue arrow just when i plug my tf.
this arrow disappear when i unplug the tf, then this cable is good but the screen is
always black !!!!!
somebody have a solution ?

Your problem is basically what this thread turned into:

We're looking into it but it looks like it may be a problem in the kernel.

Well I have Brawia W5500 and also my HDMI does not work...

I have an off brand Auria tv but it works great with all my devices. I can't get hdmi out through my receiver or directly to the TV. The TF shows the mini hdmi connected and blacks the screen. I see on another thread there is a known issue with some TVs and ASUS has acknowledged it.

I have a Z4500, the HDMI from the TF works. But the picture is not great quality, the upscaling of the TF from SD to 720p is very poor.

Also trying to find out if HDMI supports dual display output? has anyone had any luck?

So still nothing?

Allshare App - Stream Videos/Pictures to TV

So I noticed the other night I was able to stream a movie from my Note 10.1 to my Samsung TV. I have 2 of them, which I guess both have a built-in Allshare support. Do all new smart TV's have this and or some sort of feature? i.e. if I went to a friends and they have an LG? or would I need to get something like this?

For tv's other than samsung you need the Allshare cast hub/dongle... This allows you to use your tv set as a large screen...

Would you mind briefly sharing your method?

Connect Allsharecast hub/dongle to the TV via HDMI (turn to right channel), pair note10.1/SGS3 and see all things mobile on your TV screen....
This works on all TV's but be aware that rooted devices must have stock recovery installed to work. I've also noticed that some stock roms won't work no matter what recovery you are using....

I'm rooted with the CWM recovery and the Allshare cast works all the same (but maybe it's necessary to reset the counter with Triangle Away as I did).

Did that but wouldn't work, Back to stock recovery and it worked....
I'm on UK JB. That might make a difference. Also I found that even though I use triangle-away to reset the counter, on JB it stays on 1 every time I reboot...

Can't that be accomplished without a dongle? I swear I've seen that advertised somewhere before...

I have too, My TV is on the list of compatible devices, an LED/LCD TV from 7000 series 2011 (Samsung of course), but it just won't connect.... Might do for later TV's but after a lot of hair pulling and some absolutely useless advice from Samsung's help desk it, "You're not doing it right, that's why it won't work", I bit the bullet and got the dongle...
Works now, after some hair pulling and experimentation as I was rooted....

I even have an ES8000 model from this year and I can't get it to work. Hopefully Miracast will solve the issue if Samsung doesn't fix it on their own.

So if I want to see everithing that goes on on the tablet screen on my tv (xda for example) I need to by a dongle, but if I only want to see the movies or foto or music on the tv I don't need the dongle. I can send movies on the tv screen but I'm not able to mirror everything.

In theory, yes... In practice....?

So just an update on this on my original question. Just got a new LG 8600 Smart TV, and I guess it supports Allshare (or whatever protocol the tablet uses). I started playing a movie, hit the send to TV button and it worked on my LG. it took a little longer to load then the Samsung TV, but it worked fine.

Hi, allshare is different to allshare cast. Allshare sends your movie to the TV as data, the tv then decodes this data and actually plays the movie itself, this is done using DLNA and so any DLNA tv will work with allshare, not just sammsung TV's.
Allshare cast is a different animal altogether, its part of the miracast protocol and simply sends the picture from the phone to the TV, the decoding is done by the phone, the TV simply mirrors the video and audio. Currently the only way to get this to work is to buy the samsung allshare cast dongle. To use this simply plug it into your TV HDMI port and turn on Allshare cast option on your phone.

[Q] HDMI dock does not connect to TV(Sony Bravia)

I've got Sony Bravia TV (KDL60EX720) - When I connect my Samsung tablet 7.7 p1000 model which is sitting on a dock which has a mini hdmi connection which runs into my tv via a mini hdmi to hdmi converter it does not show up as a connected device.
I've taken the cable out put it back in to see if the TV recognise - but Not happening.
I've put the tablet in sleep mode and turned the display back on to see if that helps - NO
Any tips or suggestions on if anyone had a similar issue connecting hdmi dock to sony bravia tv?

Delete this thread mods. No longer required. I've fixed the issue.

Could u give us the solution so next time someone is having similar problem they could find your topic and try if your solution works out for them? It would add some information to this already quite quiet forum. Thanks!

Screen Mirroring with Bravia TV

I have the KDL -65W 950B TV and the Xperia Z3 (T-Mobile Version), I've successfully set up screen mirroring for the two but every time it turns on and connects it automatically disconnects/turns off. Any ideas how to fix this and get screen mirroring working properly?

I use my Roku Stick HDMI, to mirror/Miracast my Z3 on to my TV, works perfectly. I think it may be a problem with your TV. Some other person on this forum with a Bravia TV had a similar issue which was solved by a TV firmware update if I am not mistaken.

I have a W6 sony TV . refresh your internet content on your TV. Turn off any battery saver mode on your phone ,restart phone ,ideally make sure you have a wireless booster plug ... After that it should work fine

I had tried refreshing the Internet content on the tv before, no luck. Tomorrow night after work I'll try turning off stamina mode and giving it a shot. Appreciate the tips.
May actually try it with my Z1s too, hadn't even tried it with it yet.

Hopefully it's not my tv, it did just update the firmware earlier this month. I'm new to the smartphone tv game, so not sure on update cycles...but I'd have to guess they don't update very often?

The TV's will do an upgrade about once every 2 months , sometimes twice. Normally they are only for adding an app to the TV etc , so won't effect the phone. Some updates however are big , it took me 2 months to get my phone and TV talking ! And I'm an IT bod ... They should work with our issue, they will on the W9x android Sony tvs

[NVIDIA SHIELD] HDMI not detected when connected to Sony Android TV

Hello.
I have NVIDIA SHIELD K1 tablet and Sony KD-55S8505C TV (with Android TV on-board). I wanted to play some games within streaming feature. It works fine, but the problem is when I want to use HDMI to display the image on my TV. Once I connect the HDMI-miniHDMI cable, nothing happens... I tried to manually change the display mode to console, but I'm getting a message that HDMI is not connected.
After this I tried the HDMI with other TV and it works correctly. But my Sony is a new one, all HDMIs work fine (I tried them with Blu-ray player and my laptop).
I also tried restarting my tablet and TV many times (I found out it helps sometimes for ppl).
Is there any other thing I can check? No idea what to do.

Did you ever solve the problem? Mirror mode worked on one of my TVs but not another TV.

Yes. There was a problem with my TV's HDMI ports. Something on motherrboard was broken. I sent it to Sony service and they repaired everything. It has worked like a charm since the first use.

Console mode works but not mirror mode so HDMI port is fine.

To me it is happening that my nvidia shield tablet does not recognize when I connect the HDMI. I did a hard reset and everything works perfect again, but after a few days, unchanged nothing stops working again. I did the test with different cables, different adapters HDMI-MiniHDMI and with different screens but I always have the same result unless I make a factory reset again.

Maybe some app, update interferes with HDMI..
Deactivate auto updates in Play store and for Nvidia.
