Plug HDMI cable in - screen goes black & phone freezes. Why? A known issue?

Is this a defect? Do I need to return the phone? I'm working with all the latest OTA updates.
I've tried to force 720p and 480p through settings, and tried auto-detect.
If I have it on the gallery app in a slideshow and plug it in, I see the "HDMI" label in the status bar before it goes black.
Strange thing is that the buttons still light up and go off with the HDMI cable plugged in if I hit the power button. But I can't use the power button to turn it back off. I have to do a battery pull.
PITA! HDMI was one of the reasons I bought this dang phone?
Can anyone out there think of any reason why this might be happening?
Thanks for any help.

You're not the only one. My cable is collecting dust somewhere for the past month. Maybe cyan will fix it? This is my first htc and I'm starting to think I shouldn't hold my breath for the company to fix it. As time progresses, I'm liking this phone less. I don't know if all htc phones are like this that it seems like it was rushed to market too soon without fixing the glaring bugs with it.

I share some of your sentiment, but not all of it. I still love this phone. But HDMI was one of their big, giant marketing points that got me to buy it. A phone with an HDMI out! That's crazy! Also, when I think of what I can do with it it's pretty cool.
But for it not to work at all? Not one bit? That is just crazy.
My theory is that they didn't realize what kind of copyright hell they were unleashing upon themselves when they put it on there, and so they intentionally broke it. If they ever release some kind of source code maybe one of these chefs can make it work.

Can you try another cable that is known to work? I've been messing around the HDMI output the past week since I got my cable (Molex #687860003, from eBay), and I think the implementation is pretty fault-tolerant. I've been plugging and un-plugging it repeatedly and never had a lockup, with and without the Gallery/Video application active. Blu-Ray rips at 1280x720p look and sound amazing for such a small device. There was some discussion on another forum about a bad run of Amzer cables (that caused lockups), so maybe it's worth borrowing someone else's cable and giving it another go before turning in the phone for replacement. Good luck.

I use it everyday without a problem (Youtube).

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I don't have another accessible. But you are correct in that I should try it with another cable (and probably on another TV as well).
I went ahead and bought this one. It looks legit, plus it's long. I'll test it again when it arrives. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...40086&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3062wt_1137

ive been using mine since day one without a problem. i bought the phone and cable from sprint on launch day.

The problem is with the old fps fix kernels. now they support hdmi out too. htc has the most lazy ass devs ever if they capped the fps cuz of hdmi... lmao

Wait! Come back!
By "old" fps fix, which do you mean? I'm using the netarchy-toastmod 3.7.2.a kernel, which supposedly had hdmi fixed. (I'm going to update to the latest now, I hadn't noticed there was another.)
Should I be using a different kernel?

Use version c.

Yes, a 1000 times Yes.
Its considerably smaller than I thought it would be. A bit heavier as well.
As many have mentioned before, I wish that the auto-brightness setting were brighter.
Waiting patiently for the dev community to get crackin.

so far so good. No flash sucks but u know this.
Will have to go home to test mini USB charge/connect.

+1 but i purchased this morning from vzw and it has been sitting in my car all day.
from the few minutes i played with it at the store and in the car, i like it even more than i originally did.
it was also smaller than i was expecting which is a bonus.

Yes.
Called Verizon and got them to waive my activation fee, too.
I wish the screen itself had more contrast/brightness overall (I have Auto off and brightness on full, and its still only so-so).

Got mine this morning, copied over an mp4 movie and it plays very well. Don't like the default book reader because I don't know if its possible or not but I couldn't open my own epub files from it which would have been great because the app itself is actually nice. I'm still at work so I couldn't play with it as much as I would have liked to and the time I did have to spend on it I started installing some of my favorite apps (all free) like task manager, androzip, pandora, sketchbook...battery life has been great so far but again no real tests yet. I will def play with it more once I get home tonight and let everyone know if there are any issues. Sorry, forgot to mention how annoying the power button is as well as the extra charger that I have to carry around now.

[Q] A500 Lag During Charging

Hello all, I have 1 issue with my A500. Only during charger plug in, my tab become super lag. This problem started when I doing overclock using flexreaper extreme.
Tried to flash new kernel from eztery, upgrade bootloader to v8, and flash lightspeed ics rom. None of these works as I still have this problem. Even on recovery screen, my tab is not responsive when charger plugged in.
I don't know what caused this. Is anyone having the same problem? Please help.

im on the same but no probs while charging, maybe titanium backup,. nandroid and wipe all and re-install flexreaper

actually i've tried that already. Real format and wipe all and flash different rom and kernel. Strangely it just heppen while charging. Do you think this is hardware problem?

i think it must be as ive never read anything about this anywhere before did it do this when you was stock?

I never have this when on stock. Even after on flexreaper for few months also no problem. This only happen after upgrade to flexreaper extreme with OC. Weird.

have you clocked it back to 1ghz? might help you out? im not really sure dud srry

def take it back and get a replacement that's a hardware flaw another member posted about that then eventually his tab died and wouldnt charge up, if i was you matey i would take it back asap to show them the whining sound so they cannot say you did something to break it, plus you'll have that noted down incase they dont do anything and it then does break.

Tried that already, still have problem. I can minimize the problem by increasing the minimum frequency to 600+MHz.

The whine could also be capacitors (if any) on the logic board that are about to burst or something. Or something is overloaded and getting stressed out.

I don't believe its lag. The switching power supply causes some touch screens (such as mine) to become less sensitive requiring much harder finger presses

If it worked on other versions, just flash back to what worked before or back to ota for real proof. You said it worked till you changed software, so change back and prove it's not hardware.

I found some weird results by making a circuit. Try touching the tab with one finger and a laptop track pad with another. There's a tingle. I think it's a design defect internally - perhaps the screen assembly is touching something it shouldn't be. So in terms of a solution, I don't believe there is one, unless there's a way to earth the screen?

I have once dissemble the back cover. I'm not sure whether this is where the problem started. But I don't have this problem initially. Something is wrong with my device, just don't know where's the problem come from. I might touch something causing short circuit or something.
Tried flashing the stock ROM and still no luck. I don't think its a software issue.

Perhaps it is to do with the consistency of the power supply. My house is pretty old so I suppose there would be more voltage variation. When I get home I'll try and find a spare surge protector and see if it stops the issues. The actual existence of the issues is pretty sporadical though. There is no clear answer to this.
I do think you're onto something though

[Q] Nexus 4 Random Power Off

As the title states. Nexus 4 random power offs. Has anyone seen anything like this?
Here is the background info:
My parents have Nexus 4 phones as do I. All of our phones were ordered at the same time about 2 months or so ago when they became available again. All phones are the 16GB version. All phones bone stock with just OTA updates, not unlocked or rooted other than how they are shipped. All using T-Mobile prepaid plans.
My phone and my father's seem fine. My mom's however seems to shutdown on its own. It is random. Initially I thought that it may be an issue where she isn't used to a smart phone and isn't charging it enough. It happens though at times while it is connected to the charger. It also has happened while carrying it off the charger.
One odd thing is that when they got the phone they brought them to my house and dropped them off to have me set them up. One had the plastic screen protector with the printing on it from the factory the other didn't. I don't know which is which though now. It is a 50/50 shot if this is the one.
I have been around android since the G1 days and run the same phone. I can't think of a setting on the phone that would power it down at a certain time or period of time. She really doesn't have much for apps and is a very light user.
Not sure what to try but I was thinking about doing a wipe of the phone to see if it helps.
Anyone else have any ideas? If the wipe doesn't help the only other thing I can think of is that there is a physical issue with the phone.
I haven't seen this on my phone but there was a period of time where HD Widgets on my N7 would cause a reboot. That was fixed with an app update. This isn't a case where the device reboots. It is a complete shutdown which I find odd. So I have seen an app cause issues kind of like this. For the most part the apps that she has on her phone, I also have on mine. Well I have way more but there really isn't anything on her phone that I am not also running.
I should add that she has the phone in a TPU case. As we all do. My case design is a little different than theirs but they have cutouts for the buttons. So it isn't a case where the case is pressing on the power button. That could be an issue with my case as it covers the power button but I haven't had that issue.
Thanks

Sounds like it might be a defective battery...

That sounds kind of questionable (fishy) to me... I also have the 16GB version, and I also did the OTA when I got it. But to be honest the stock OS lasted only about an hour before I rooted and started trying out custom ROMs I have not had the issue you're describing though. How are the results from your factory reset?
Also, would you consider putting on a stock-based custom ROM (such as rasbean vanilla) for your mother's phone? If the problem is software based then a reset or a new ROM might yield different results. But if the problem persists it might be hardware and I'd suggest you contact Google about servicing.

I don't want to root and have my mom run a modified ROM. They live about a half hour from me so I haven't tried a wipe of the phone yet and because of the distance I don't want to deal with the issues that sometimes come up when you go with modified ROMs when I am not there. She is a very basic user and this is the first smartphone for my father and mother. Keep in mind they are in their early 70s and not really that strong on the tech side of things. I have to get some time to run over there and take a look at it. Maybe later next week.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I think if a wipe doesn't help I will talk to Google. A search really didn't show much other than some people that were seeing a random reboot issue. I have seen apps doing that.
I have been through their warranty replacement process and it is a bit of a PITA. I am on my 3rd Nexus 7 due to hardware issues with the first 2. My N4 and my fathers have been rock solid.
While I have run custom ROMs in the past, I usually run stock until I find a need that requires me to root. Eventually I will probably root and go with a custom ROM on my N4 but

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm giving my parents my old LG P990 phone and I just put an AOKP rom on it. I also installed Nova Launcher for them and configured it so there's just one texting app and one calling app the one and only one homescreen. No dock either, just in case they click something by accident or get lost in the app drawer
Since you have the same phone as your mom, a self-less workaround would just be to give her yours (pre-configured), and then you can fiddle around with the problematic one until you find a decent solution. :good:

Hmm. That is a good idea. The PITA part would be to get everything loaded from my phone to hers. I really wish I could run Titanium backup without root as it would make it super easy to move the apps over. Though I don't have that much loaded on my phone. Things that are a pain to set up have configuration export methods like Tasker. It would rule out the end user being the source of the issue. I don't think that is it though. If we swap and it goes away, then I can consider the wipe as the solution. If the problem moves to me then it is a physical issue and call Google. If the problem persists with her, I load all her apps on the phone I carry as well to see if I start to have the issue or it becomes a training issue. The thing I like about this the most is that it is a clear process to rule out several things. I can go over there and sit with the phone but if it doesn't power off when I am there I don't gain much other than spending some time with my parents.
I don't think this is an issue but I did have to provide my IMEI# when doing the activations. In the past though on T-Mobile I have handed phones down to others and all we did was a SIM swap. I would imagine that is the case here.
Oh and one thing I did leave out. They were using their old cell phone chargers on the N4 phones. I told them to swap chargers and use the ones that came with the phone. The old ones may not put out enough power and the phone could in theory run down to the point where it shuts off and slowly charge from that point and I don't think it would turn back on. Keep in mind a retired user who just had a knee replacement so she is at home more often than not.

Did you find out the cause? I have the same issue happened twice today

Nexus 6 Issues thread

I thought it might be a good idea to come together and list issues we may have found.
I have to say that I love this phone.
Issues list:
1) Apps/widgets that need to access the secured/encrypted storage either crash or report that there is no sd-card, or the sd-card is unreadable.
2) The screen turn on sensor seems a little too sensitive. For instance riding in the car with the phone sitting on my leg, the screen would come on any time the road was bumpy or coming to a stop quickly.
As this will be a running list, please chip in. I am hoping we can track these as well as if fixes are released, or we decide to take them on and fix them ourselves.
I do not want any of the junk like have been in other threads about weight and size, etc. Please keep these to real issues with the phone or the software.

Well.... the app/widget issue is probably more of an issue with the app/widget itself requiring an update for better Lollipop compatibility.
As for the ambient display.... pretty sure they wanted it to be something that's convenient and easy to use. Not something that would require you to violently shake your phone to get it to turn on. I can pick it up off my desk without it turning on, then put it into my other hand, only letting it fall into my hand ever so slightly, and the ambient display turns on. Of course it's going to turn on if you're going down a bumpy road with it on your leg.

Has anyone experienced a crash and reboot yet? It happened to me a few minutes after installing the software update.

Are you charging the phone at the same time? If so unplug the phone from the charger and see if that solves the noise.

One thing I've noticed is that when wireless charging, when it hits 100%, it completely stops charging. You'd think this would be a good thing, but with my N5, it would drop to trickle-charge mode, but would at least keep the charging indicator active. Since the N6 stops charging completely, daydreams will stop functioning, and you'll go back to the home screen. Depending on the charge cycle, the phone may come awake or stay awake most of the night. in addition to making it worthless as a bedside clock, this also makes me concerned of burn-in. This is, after all, an AMOLED screen, which is prone to burn-in issues.

I will say that every now and again, my phone will make a static noise from the top speaker even though there's nothing audio playing. It did it significantly more before I installed the update and barely does it now.

I've only been using the phone about 12 hours now and I'm pulling it off it's first charge now. It may be a total non-issue but it's something I'm keeping my eyes and ears on.

I will say that every now and again, my phone will make a static noise from the top speaker even though there's nothing audio playing. It did it significantly more before I installed the update and barely does it now.

This actually sounds like a hardware defect I would send back ASAP. Thank you all for posting your issues for those of us who are on the fence this helps what we maybe walking into when purchasing this device.

I have seen the restart issue once or twice and it seems like my GPS doesn't get a complete lock on me while using maps, it did at first and after 10 min or so it would no longer zoom in on you in google maps when it locked on your signal. Not sure if this is a google maps issue or a GPS issue though.

Well, I got mine from T-Mobile so I don't think it's just as easy as getting another one. I freaking love the phone though. My biggest and only real gripe is the button placement. I hit the volume rocker almost every time I try to do anything on it. Lol.
