I've tried both the realHDMI app and the stock gallery app and nobody seems to be able to detect it. First I tried on a samsung DLP (bought it back when they didn't have HDMI) using a micohdmi to hdmi-dvi and got nothing but figured it probably wouldn't work anyway because the TV is not true hdmi, then I tried it on my new akai tv with HDMI (both apps) and a 10ft HDMI cable (i think it's a class 2.5 not sure) and the tv keep flashing blue and black like it was trying to get a single but the phone ended up saying no cable.
I thought realhdmi would have an option to "force" it on. any tips on what I can do?
Thanks for the help guys.
Also interested in fix for this..

So my HDMI port on my xoom is nolonger working. I have used this in the past. And it worked fine. But once I did the ota update 3.0.1 and installed flash 10.2. Its seems not to work,did a restart on the xoom and turned the TV on and off. Unplugged the cable and plugged it back in tryed over and over.Tryed another TV same thing nothing. Is anyone having this issued with HDMI not working on the xoom?

What does it do when you plug it in? Mine is running the new update but no flash and it works perfectly. Just tried it today. You may need to do a factory reset or something.
Also, are you rooted?
Thanks for the reply. when i try to connect the xoom to the tv. The tv just says check signal cable . I have a samsung 8000 and a samsung 58 8000 plasma both didnt work. Says the same thing. check signal cable
I don't think its the OTA or flash because its working for me right now when hooking to my computer monitor.
Fudge with it. HDMI works fine after 3.0.1 update.
Its broken for me too, here's a work around. Have a movie playing on the xoom and then hook up the cable.

I will confirm if the HDMI problem is usual, cause I know people have been having problems with that, I will be getting my HDMI cable in the mail soon, will let you know. I have sometimes experienced slow downs on mine as well. Have you tried formatting the Xoom?

The USB port is very weak on my Xoom (and others, I've read). You need to plug the USB cable into a MOTHERBOARD MOUNTED USB port to make it work reliably. Using a front panel USB port, or any other port that is cabled off of the motherboard, can cause problems.
I personnaly mount my xoom into the front panel USB port and have had no problems with it so far.
i too use the USB ports on the front of my tower and it works fine...
My USB cable that came with it was the problem, used a different one and it was transfering fine

This could be due to the ROM I'm using (Primee-P9 David's mod), but I tried using Rockplayer Lite to watch a video on my TV through HDMI and there was no Audio. Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps there is a setting you are missing (I found rockplayer to be the most problematic player possible for the a500 with the exception of the crappy Acer apps that are preinstalled) - but HDMI carries audio and video only on receivers called HDMI switching or HDMI repeater, from my experience.
Try MX player, and if that fails, try a alternative receiver so we can figure out the source of your problem.

Thanks, I should've tried different apps to see if it was my tablet or the app. It won't be the problem of the receiver, as I'm plugging it straight into a TV :-D. Hoping its not an HDMI cable problem, I just got this cable from monoprice and I don't have another micro HDMI device to check it with. Thanks!

But it might be the problem of the receiver - your TV is acting as a decoder/receiver and depending on what company produced it and what standards it supports......
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
Don't just assume a bad cable before trying a alternative receiver (TV) - plug it into a friends system with known good HDMI and see if that works.
Best of luck, hope you get it working
Well, I've used this HDMI port many times before and it works fine, which is why I was saying that the cable has a possibility of it being bad, but I'll try it on another TV as well just in case.

Always a good idea - that way you know for sure if you have a bad cable.
I tried connecting the tab to my 720p TV and all I get is the android mascot saying 720p? The sound however plays if I play some video. Does anyone else have this problem?
gIVE MORE INFO IT SHOULD JUST WORK
first ..
is your tablet Stock . some custom roms have issues with hdmi..
have you tested the cable with another device.. the micro hdmi cable seems to have a very high defective rate.
With the above known issues ..
if you are stock and you have your tv on the correct input device setting.
try connecting the cable set the tv correctly.. as in hdmi 3 in the tvs menue and the cable connected to port 3..
turn off both ..
turn on tv set it hdmi 3.
turn off your tablet. plug in the cable to iconia.. turn on tablet.. see if this works..
others have said this helps.. my hdmi port would not work correctly when i got my tablet had to hold the hdmi cable just right. this was only temporary for some reason.. g
GOOD LUCK..
Is the picture your seeing with the android figure on your Iconia or your tv?? Or both??? You should see a mirror image of your iconia on the tv. If your getting the message on the tv and the iconia is displaying its normal desktop image than your tv may not support 720p input or your iconia couldn't negotiate the resolution with your tv. Try a different hdmi port or a different tv and see what happens.
its stock with the latest os. The message only shows up on the TV. TV definitely supports 720p as that's what I am outputting my TV stb and my streaming box to. Hopefully this is just a case of a defective microusb cable. I could try it another TV, but it wouldn't tell me if the ddevice is defective or the cable. I guess I will have to buy another microusb cable aand hope it works.
If your seeing an image on your tv than I don't think its the cable. The Iconia just may not be able to talk to your tv properly. I would try it on another tv if able just to confirm. Also, turn your tv off, fully power down your tablet, plug together, first turn on tv, after tv is up and running then turn on your iconia. It seems to me that something is going on with the hdmi handshake and this should get your devices to talk to each other in the correct order.

My Iconia works fine, but I had this same issue on an older Toshiba laptop, and these procedures worked every time.
So I tried the above instructions turning both devices on, connecting, turning tv on first and then the iconia but still the same result. The green android mascot with the 720p? speech bubble. I guess I will have to try another tv somewhere.
Same issue for me, I bought this cable today for 19,99 €.
I read in an another thread (not in xda), that the problem is solved with a high quality cable (hdmi 1.3 or more, 39,99 €).
Or directly in the acer store : here.

Are you on a stock rom near stock.. Some of the Well cooked roms could have a issue with this function.. If you are on a custom rom.. Go to the rom developers thread and ask this Question . If you are on stock 3.2.1 the most current . I would try if you can to test your cable. If the cable is not bad Call ACER (GOOD LUCK WITH THAT). I know mine I put the cable in back of tv on HDMI 4 . SET THE TV Input to hdmi 4 and plug it in..
anyway good luck also people have said they needed to wiggly around there cable use caution doing so..
im using a 6€ cable from some cheap market and everything works fine with thors kernel 3.9r4..
i had many troubles with hdmi and other kernels.. tv and tablet have to be on and then plug in the cable.. thats the only way to get it working for me
Is it possible to connect my PH-1 to a usb-c monitor ?
my macbook pro does just this. Or does the usb-c of the PH-1 have other requirements?
It's supposed to work and supports USB-C Display Port video out. I can't get it to work, but Essential Support claims it does work, took a picture as proof using the same adapter I tried with. Yet, for some reason, I can't get it to work... Even after a factory reset, no root, full stock.
If you're having issues, please let support know also. They may have some issues going on they're not aware of.

It works for me.
I'm using this adapter -> https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYUCWOK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It works with my Lenovo ThinkVision LT1423p. But only with the latest DisplayLink drivers and not those from Lenovo.
However the touch screen is severely miscalibrated...

Am I just doing it wrong? Is this supposed to work with any HDMI-capable TV or does it need to support Displayport or have something special? I've tried connecting my adapter to 4 TVs, each with different HDMI cables, and even tried a couple of other HDMI cables on top of that. The TV detects no signal. I also tried 2 desktop monitors via HDMI -- nothing.
The kicker -- Essential support shared a photo proving it works with the adapter I own. I just don't get it... Only thought is perhaps an unlocked bootloader breaks this for some reason since I tried everything else (factory reset, no root, full stock, reflash system images, etc.)
I am using this monitor: lg-27MD5KA-B-5k-uhd-led-monitor
so i don't need a dongle, because it is usb c to usb c
are there any settings in android that need to be turned on?
