I hope someone can point me in the right direction for this.
I have a Bluetimes MX5 android tv box for the past year or so. The HDMI has stopped working for the last few weeks.
Only the standard AV is working.
I've reflashed the image on it but still not working. I've tried different cables and TVs but all the same. The box is running a custom rom called Dharmageddon V3.
There was a glimmer of hope when I first connected after disabling auto detect hdmi settings, the picture came up for a few seconds and then went blank again.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Hi,
It sounds like a hardware issue to me, either bad cable, or bad hdmi port on the box or TV.
You can ask for other opinions in this section though,

Hi guys, I have an M8 Android TV box and is working perfectly aside from a little bug/driver issue with my USB Logitech C710 camera. I want to use the camera for Skype/take pictures with regular camera app but the images come out with distorted colors. I tried using different USB ports but the problem persists. Is there any way I can fix the drivers manually so that the picture looks like normal? I tried the camera with my laptop and it works fine. I also installed every known camera app in the playstore and the only one that used the camera normal was Snapexwebcam. If anyone can help me and need more information to reach a solution please let me know.
Thank You for your time
Respectfully, XianLen
PS: My TV Box is rooted
Hi, I hope this is the correct sub forum for talking about Android TV boxes, if it's not please accept my apologies and tell me the correct one.
I have just received this Android TV Box, Cs918 MK888 Q7. I bought it from here: Aliexpress
I have tested it and it's working without any problem with the AV wires, but the quality of the image is not so good. And the problem is when plugged with the HDMI cable, the image in the TV is always appearing and disappearing, you can check this video: Video Mediafire
That's very annoying, since the AV quality is not so good, and I have already tried another HDMI cable and another TV, unsuccesfully. I kwow it's probably a hardware issue but is there any chance that it's software? Or did anybody have a similar experience and can make any suggestion about the hardware?
Thank you so much, I was so happy when I realized xda has a subforum for Android TVs and sticks, I'm sure I can get some answers here or if I buy a replacement find the best ROMs and support.
Thanks again!

Truth is I got rid of this box, but thank you anyway! I'm sure this will be useful for other users with the same problem.
Thank you!
Hey everyone.
I need some help with an HDMI- DVI problem on my MK808B Plus
Goal:
Connect my Android Mini-TV (MK808B Plus) to a specific PC monitor.
Problem:
Monitor has a resolution of 1440x900 and no HDMI.
Story:
I have an old monitor as described above that i want to use for a small project. This project involves an android device. I chose to go with the MK808B Plus. Knowing the connections available on the monitor, i also bought a Mini HDMI to DVI-D adapter cable. I hooked it all up and the monitor detected the input but wouldn't display an image. Just random lines sometimes and then black like it was attempting to connect.
I then hooked it up to another monitor via HDMI and it worked just fine. I then plugged it into the same monitor's DVI port using the adapter and the monitor seemed to see it, and try to display it, but to no avail.
I would like any and all help i can get with this problem. If need be i can even swap the android stick for another model as i have just purchased it.
Thanks
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.
For several days I have been trying to solve one extremely strange problem that arose when working with the Huawei MatePad Pro 11 tablet.
This tablet definitely knows how to output an image to an external monitor or TV through its Type-C port.
To do this, you need to use special adapters or docking stations that can output an image via Type-C to the HDMI port.
Unfortunately, none of the adapters I've tried have worked properly!
I tried two adapters - Ugreen CM511 and Xiaomi 5-in-1 dockstation.
Both adapters perfectly display the image through the Type-C port to the HDMI port if they are connected to laptops or computers, as well as to other tablets that have the ability to work with the so-called "HDMI Alt Mode".
However, whenever I try to connect either of these two adapters to my Huawei MatePad 11 Pro tablet and then connect the HDMI cable to the adapter and monitor/TV, a message appears on the tablet screen with the following text:
"Projection
Connection failed. Please reconnect the cable or restart the device."
After that, you can reconnect the adapter or cable at least as many times and the exact same message will appear. Rebooting the tablet also does not solve the problem.
At the same time, for other acquaintances - owners of exactly the same tablet as mine, everything works fine, and the "Projection" system application with the indicated adapters starts successfully without error, offering two options for broadcasting images to an external monitor / TV. When choosing any option with someone else's tablet, everything works fine.
I already "broke my brain" trying to understand what happened in Harmony OS on my tablet and what kind of failure happened?
I can not do a full reset on the tablet. Too much specific paid software is installed on it.
It will be a real hell if I have to reinstall everything "from scratch" after a hard reset.
I kindly ask experienced users to try to help me with tips to solve this extremely strange problem.
Thank you!
And yet I found the cause of this problem and its solution!
