[Q] HDMI Snow - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've looked around the Internet for this problem, and I have not been able to find any solution to this issue. Basically HDMI out on my Nexus 10 is either solid snow (I didn't know this was even possible on a digital connection), a black screen, or no signal at all. Strangely enough I managed to get into the signal info on my monitor while the snow was displayed and it says the resolution is 1922x1081. I'm also using the latest ParanoidAndroid.
I will be able to test if the HDMI cable is bad this Tuesday.
Does anyone know what could be going on?

Never mind. I guess it was the cable.

TV OUT not working!

Hello,
anybody else got a problem with TV OUT ?
I cannot make it work. And when entering the Service/Test Mode, it won't work there either! Its setting is OFF.
In comManager its all greyed out, no matter if connected with a cable to a tv or not.
There is a reg setting about it and when I enable it there, it shows enabled, but it actually is NOT.
So I am wondering if this is perhaps MY hardware or if there is any 'secret' to it, to make it work.
Thanks!
Everybody's elses TV OUT working fine???
Hey what is this, no replies at all. Should I believe EVERYBODIES TV OUT is working fine?
Or nobody using that at all? I want to know if with all you out there, the TVout in connection manager is greyed out or not (with or without a plug).
Even in service/test mode my setting is OFF and cannot be changed.
Need to know if this is just mine and the hardware is perhaps broken. Thanks!
Mine works.
(I used it very rarely but it's good to know it there)
MS Direct Push not working either?!?!
Good to know at least somebody's works! If you go to connection manager, the TV screen is greyed out on mine, on yours its yellow?
And what about the square where you put the ckeckmark, its greyed on mine, on yours not?
Now, what is your software version?
Thanks

When the cable is not connected, the TV out checkbox in Connection Manager is greyed out. The moment I connect the cable to both phone and TV, a menu pops up and shows a picture and two aspect ratio options to choose from.
Are you sure it's not the cable or the input on the TV faulty? I mean it is clear for me the TV out option is available only after a connection between phone and a valid input of a working TV has been established. Dunno, try other tv sets?
My phone software is plain 6.5.3 generic UK. only mods are sd card fix and overclocking, so very little to do with the matter we are discussing.
Yeah, I tried different TVs. But since it won't even work in TestMenu, I figure it my hardware now.
You see, in testmenu, one does not even need to connect a TV because it will be displayed on the lcd. And no cable needed either.
What is your manufacture date? Its inside battery compartment on white sticker, like 09Wxx or 10Wxx.
Mine says 09W48

It identifies the cable as a headset.
Anything to do...?

HDMI connected and WIFI not working!

When I connect my HDMI cable to my Eeepad the wifi stops working!
anyone else gets the problem?
No problem with that here.
Weird, sometimes that happens to me. I think it makes the wifi signal worse is what it does. How is your signal before you plug it in?
this is exactly what is happening to me. when i dont have the hdmi cable plugged in i get full speed (14 mbits with speedtest). when i plug in the hdmi cable the internet stops working. tried doing a speedtest and it gets a network error.
also, my hdmi connection is only working at 720p, not 1080p. i have official 3.1 installed and the latest dock firmware as well.
any ideas guys?
I would contact Asus (use the US tech support e-mail, don't call their call center) and let them know what you are seeing. I read some had greater success e-mailing them.
A few things to note/think about:
Are you using the docking keyboard?
Are you using a certified HDMI cable?
Does moving the tablet with respect to the display ahve any effect on the wifi signal?
(to get a better feel on the wifi signal strength, I have been using free app wifi analyzer)
Are you getting 1080p out or just 720?

Nexus 10 usable as screen?

Hi xda users,
since the display of the Nexus 10 will be awesome I'm contemplating getting it because I'd really like to use it as a (second) screen for my computer. Does anyone know if this will be possible? Probably not without, but maybe *with* a mod? Can we use this Miracast Screen Share the other way round possibly?
It'd be really cool to play games on it as well, with the power of my desktop. I wouldn't be able to tell the pixels apart/ wouldn't see any pixelisation. Also this will get rid of the need for antialiasing which will boost performance
Woohoooo
There's an app for that
iDisplay or Splashtop 2
I personally haven't tried them out but they might be what your looking for.
Thanks! Well Splashtop2 is only over Wireless, so it's probably going to be to slow at least for gaming. iDevices with USB support looks better. Does anyone know how bad the latency is (with both)?
Anyway to make the tablet as a video monitor? i/e hdmi IN?
Splashtop2 is pretty good and there is hardly any delay so depending on what you are using it for it might be okay, but it doesn't give you an extra screen just mirrors an existing one. If you want an additional screen you could try airdisplay, haven't tried it for gaming but it might be okay.
Also I have played D3 using Splashtop and besides not being a very good game it worked fine.
OMG that's awesome sauce
OMG that's an awesome idea, the Nexus 10 has resolution comparable to my 30 inch monitor... crazy.
please post to tell us if it worked.
Yeah I'm very interested in this. I tried out Air Display and it worked well, but it had low framerates and some lag.
How can I use the Nexus 10 to replace the cracked screen on my Lenovo E420 laptop?
I will not always have access to a wireless network, so I need to find a solution that is either wired or bluetooth.
I assume a wired connection would be best, followed by bluetooth.
Thanks.

I don't think it's possible to do it wired, because the Nexus 10 has no input port for its display.
Bluetooth as far as I know does not have a protocoll for video transfer, so that's not possible either afaik.
However you might be able to connect them per WiFi Direct oder WiFi Ad-Hoc, meaning you don't need WiFi network on it's own because they connect directly or the Nexus 10 to the Ad-Hoc network, respectively. If your laptop supports WiFi Direct (you can look it up on the WiFi Alliance Website, every product is listed there) you might be able to use Miracast. But you need software for it on your laptop for windows or whatever you use. If you got Android 4.2 on it, then you don't need new software ;P (that's probably not easily achieved, but may be soon when there's an official x86 AndroidOSP Version).
If not, try DLNA. I don't know if Windows or Linux supports it, but I think support is achievable through software.
Good luck and report back if it works!

[Q] HDMI hit and miss?

Why is the HDMI output so unreliable? First time a tried it, it refused to work to any extent. There was just no signal detected. I then left it for a few months and it worked the first time I plugged it in. Now yet another few months later it refuses to work again.
because for some reason google have crippled hdmi on this device, i know you have probably tried but ive had problems with some hdmi leads that have worked perfectly fine with other devices but my nexus 10 acts like the port is faulty but once you find a micro hdmi lead it likes then your problems will be over then its just a case of hoping and waiting for some sort of hdmi options and settings.
im currently using a Blue Rigger cable from Amazon and the nexus 10 is playing fine with it http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=a9_sc...words=bluerigger+micro&ie=UTF8&qid=1368533577

Output/Connect Nexus 4 to HD-TV

(Looked for the answer but was unable to find it, so if there is already a thread/post that I missed I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction...)
That being said, I am using;
Nexus 4 16gb (not rooted, yet)
Cabelsson Micro USB to HDMI MHL Adapter
Dynex HDTV (Model # DX-32L 100A13)
This is what I would like to do:
Run apps (Like Netflix for example) on my phone and watch it on the t.v.
Sounded like it would be pretty straightforward but haven't been able to get it to work just yet. Have played around with settings on both nexus and TV, tried different ways to plug it in, etc.. So I'm hoping it is just a simple little something I am missing. I'm fairly tech-literate so it's really frustrating that I can't figure it out.. Lol. So if anyone can help me with I would be ever so grateful..
Couple of things:
I do *not* have a WiFi connection, but have the unl data/4G thru TMobile, Netflix runs like an dream on the phone. (So I guess the "Wireless display" option isn't applicable on the phone..
I also have a laptop running Win 8 if in some crazy old-school daisy-chaining way that I could use that as some sort of intermediary connection.. Lol.. Just throwing it out there
Anyone had this issue or have any suggestions??
Thanks for taking the time to help
Get a slimport adapter, nexus 4 has slimport built in
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk now Free
nexus 4 to tv
That is what I was under the impression that this was... Darn it won't let me post a picture .. So just to be sure googled a pic of slimport adapter and that is what this is. It's made by Cablesson, is white. It has a larger piece to connect the HDMI into, then 2 smaller connections: 1 that goes into the Nexus (micro USB) then 1 for USB cord to go to the power source.
