Blank screen through HDMI.Help needed.

I have an Atrix 4G, AT&T branded, but i use it in Europe (unlocked). I have a HD dock. When I'm trying to connect the phone over HDMI (with ot without the dock) blank screen appears on the tv. I'm using the right input, i tried with an LG P990. The phone askes me if i want to use the Entertainment Center or (occasionally) the Webtop. Have you got any idea how to fix this?
System version: 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.Us
Webtop version: N_01.77.37.P
It is an unrooted and unmodified phone. What could be the problem? How can i fix it? Thanks for your replies.

Did you use the same cable with the LG P990? Also, have you tried bypassing the dock by plugging straight from the phone to the TV.

i have tried with the LG's cable and the motorola's cable as well. Also i have tried to connect the phone directly to the tv. Same appears on the screen (blank, nothing).

If it never worked, I would guess it's a hardware issue. The only other thing I can think of is do a "clear data" on the webtop app, but I've never done that so do it at your own risk. Anyone else have any ideas?

If you froze extdispservice with an app that prolly killed external HDMI display check that

or you can flash WebtopMOD v1 or fruitcake

myphoneexplorer - fjsoft.de

RealVNC.
Works, No Issues. Dont know whether it will work over a USB Cable.

I'm curious as to what purpose you want to be able to do this? What are you wanting to do?
And why not just connect a keyboard and mouse via USB OTG or bluetooth? Saves having to install another app on your phone.

Simply ask Can I connect pendrive for my N7?

I don't know anything about your device, but generally there are three scenarios:
The USB-OTG support...
...is included into the kernel. You are set to go.
...is compiled as a kernel module (.ko) and can manually be loaded into the system. Normally, you will find kernel modules in /system/lib/modules/[sub directory]/
...is obviously missing. If this is the case, you can compile your own kernel module. This is off topic, but I might take some time to write a beginner's tutorial - if there is a common interest?

There are a few threads about it. You will also need a OTG compatible adapter

How to use a usb keyboard

To get it working I saw online that you need to get into advance options. Where is advance options? I don't see it.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app

You dont need to set any options at all. Get an otg cable, and plug it in. Thats it and thats all.

Not working for me. I've tried two different ones and I know the otg cable works. I plugged the keyboard in and nothing happens

Different otg cables are made for different devices. Some wont work with the n7. There are absolutely no options you need to set for a usb keyboard to work. None. It is completely automatic. I have used it with stock and many custom roms. No settings needed. None. I would bet that the otg that works with your rzr will not work with the n7.

I used this otg cable on my 8GB nexus 7 with an external sd card. Now I have a 16GB and I'm trying to use the same cable with the keyboard. This is what I saw on Amazon:
I'm just trying to find those settings
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app

I dont know how many ways to say that there are no settings for that. Either it works, or it doesnt. There are NO options for it in settings. The ability to use a usb kb is built into the kernel. Are you running stock or custom? 4.1.x or 4.2.x? Which kernel?
Also, the pic you posted is from January. That means that the poster was stating settings from either gingerbread or honeycomb. Alot of those settings are not present, nor needed in jellybean. In short, those settings are not going to be found on an n7, since jellybean is the only android revision it can currently run.

Need USB port waking up app or shortcut.
Hi guys. I have a N7 and I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Leath...es_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item484c513364 .
The keyboard is nice since it's also a case- the only issue that is bothereing me is that after tablet goes to sleep. so does the keayboard since it is powered by my tablet wia micro usb port. But that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that when I start using the table again I everytime have to unplug the case and plug it back in so that nexus activated the usb port again and starts povering the keayboard. What would make this case perfect would be some kind of app or just a shortcut to put on my homescrean that wouls simulate the unpluging/plugging back in...
This would realy make my nexus7 with the case perfect.
I downloaded a couple of script running apps but don't know anything of calling the USB port and waking it up... and haven't found any scripts to run and test.
Let me know if you know/find something about this...

what windows program can i use to browse phone files?

I need to extract some files from the phone itself (data for certain apps) but my screen is completely busted and I can only turn the phone on and connect via USB. Any windows program I can use to extract information ? My phone was/is rooted

You must always next time post on question section.
Ok back to topic.Do you mean sd memory files. ?
Then better to connect with pc to take all backuo of phone. This is the better way if your screen is blushed.
If you still have problem then better to contact service guys. Then can help you.

Try to use hdmi on big TV with mouse. And install root explorer.
Then you will be able to see all things which you can't see in your broken screen.
Try.
