Hi. Thought I would share this with you. For the last 3 weeks ive been having some issues with note 2 mhl > hdmi where the phone would say "hdmi cable connected" but nothing came up on the monitor. I solved this by unrooting the device (with exynosabuse), rebooting it and rooting it again, without disabling exploit. Thought i would share this with you if theres anyone else having this issue.

Does anyone else experience the sleep of death bug (akin to what happened with Netflix) after having connected your HDTV through Slimport for a short while? It seems to happen regardless of what I'm doing on my phone, just having it connected for a short moment will cause it.
This is on stock Android 4.3 (JWR66V), whereas it was working just fine for me on 4.2. My phone is rooted, but there's nothing running that requires root access while this problem occurs.
Also, I'm using the "official" Slimport adapter, i.e. the only one that existed for quite a while.
Would hate having to send my phone back in, but alas that's what I'll do if it's just affecting me.
I've the same issues since 4.3 Everything was fine before with 4.2.2. When i unplug slimport from nexus4 i cant activate display anymore.
This hapepns sometimes after cahring, too.
So i think your device is ok, just an 4.3 fault like many other bugs
Thanks for the reply. So I'm not completely alone with this!
But I do find it odd that I could not find any existing discussion of this topic elsewhere on the net.. are there just not that many people making use of the HDMI feature or is the majority of people simply unaffected by this problem?
I'm not sure. I've the same issue with charging. I misspelled this on my first post. Same situation, unplug charging cable and i can't activate the display. I found a workaround for this issue, I unplug it only when the display is on. The latest OTA doesn't fix it. Maybe we should create a bug report on googles bug tracker.
There is a thread about this issue in Googles mobile support forum. You should post there, too. So maybe we get more attention about this serious problem. I can't post links yet, search for: "After 4.3 Android updated, the Nexus 4 always shuts off randomly !!! HELP!!!"
I'm having this issue with my Nexus 7 II. Very annoying, can't watch a movie without it disconnecting. Any fix for this?
Currently not, I hope that Kitkat will fix this
I'm having the same problem on 4.4
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
Same here on 4.4 but it only happens when my photo is low on charge.
E.G when there's low charge slimport works o.k but when I unplug it the phone dies and requires me to push the power button for 10 seconds to get the photo to work again.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Maybe we should dump Logcat to get the reason why it dies. It tried it several times but with no luck. When i received System log ouputs via adb, the phone doesn't die.

was found a solution for this problem?
I generally watch TV in the morning by plugging an hdmi cable from my nexus 10 to my TV. Today, the display on the TV started flickering and I can't figure out why. I did a lot of troubleshooting already, and I think it might be an android problem, which is why I'm posting here.
Things I did:
1) switched cables. No change in behavior
2) switched hdmi input ports on the tv. No change in behavior
3) tried several apps and even just left it sitting on the homescreen. No change in behavior
4) switched streaming device (I also have a nexus 7 2013). No change in behavior. The nexus 7 does it now too!
So #4 got me curious. I connected my nexus 5 and now it plays with no flicker. That tells me it's not the TV.
The only common denominator here is Android 4.3. Was there some update recently that might have broken this?
P.S. I'm going to crosspost this to the nexus 7 forum in case anyone there has some ideas too, since it's affecting that tablet too.
I was just using my Nexus 10 with the latest 4.3 update with no problems using HDMI output. I might try and see if KitKat fixes the issue - you should be getting it within the next day or two on both.
Also, I'm curious - when I hook it up, i have a microHDMI to HDMI adapter and then use a normal cable. It wasn't clear from your post if you have one of those, but it might be worthwhile switching too, just for the heck of it. Stranger things have happened

I have two cables. One is a micro HDMI cable and the other uses an adapter. It didn't make any difference.
Alright, I've been scouring the net for a solution and tried various things here but I am at my wits end. My laptop (Dell XPS 15 9530) will not connect with my Galaxy Note 10.1. Now get this, before I rooted my tablet, connecting the two behaved as expected. After rooting, all that happens is the disconnect sound from Windows 8.1 playing repeatedly.
I've noticed a similar issue with my Galaxy Note II, also rooted. I managed to find a workaround for that, it's not stable though and it doesn't seem to work with my tablet.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one with this issue and more importantly, how to fix it. I'm quite limited if I can't connect these two devices.
Well, I feel pretty silly. The issue was the cable. It's just surprising because I tried 3 different cables prior. Just decided to try one more that I had laying around for sh$ts and giggles, and voila, all issues gone. I've spent the better part of the last week on this...
LOL
This almost happens to every samsung`s user. It happened to me a lot of time.
Hi all,
after searching for weeks after getting my Shield TV I have been trying to figure out a problem that is driving me insane. I have a Vizio M65-C1 with the Shield plugged into HDMI 5 (fully compliant).
My problem is that at entirely random times ( about once every hour or two) the Shield will "loose sync" with the TV for a split second, and the screen goes black before coming back and continuing on perfectly fine like nothing happened at all. This happens in any app and the surprising thing is that Netflix doesn't pause when this happens ( which I thought it did when there is a signal issue due to copy protection? correct me if I am wrong please... )
My question is, has anybody else ever heard or seen this with the Shield TV? I had my Xbox One on the same port for a few months before the Shield and it never had a problem, albeit it only ran at 1080p. My main thing I am trying to figure out is whether this is a TV issue or a Shield issue.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
I have the same issue, but with the M55-C2 and the Nvidia Shield. I'm on firmware 1.3.15UHD. The Nvidia Shield does not drop out when connected to my two other TVs, which are not 4k.
Others are having this issue as well.

FUUUUUUUUU thank you SO much for responding. At least I know where the problem lies now. I have literally been scouring for weeks. I have no idea how I missed that thread.
Well the thing that sucks is that this is seemingly out of my control to fix then :/
EDIT: Apparently you copied the link to this thread Has anybody been able to workaround this for now do you know? It's not super annoying, but hardly ideal either.
EDIT 2: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...-hdmi-disconnect-reconnect-problem/?offset=25
Apparently this is definitely a problem with the firmware. Searching handshake with that firmware version got me here.
Nvidia told me to change the refresh rate to 59.9hz as a temporary solution. So far so good
Ditto for me... Same model TV.. Same issue.. Will try setting to 59.9hz to see if problem persists. It's annoying when it happens in the middle of a game ..
Update: Changed the setting last night and the issue seems to be gone.. Thanks for the info !

I am having an issue with screen sharing. It has always worked before today. Right now, when i screen share I get a black screen on both of my smart tvs. If i am playing a video I can still hear the sound. Also, if i share to my tv through youtube it works fine. If i share to my tv through the stock gallery app it also displays a picture. If i share to my tv using the stock video app it also displays fine. The issue only occurs when I use the screen sharing app itself to mirror the phone to the tv.
I have tried restarting the phone, pulling the battery, restarting the tvs, pulling the power wire for tvs from wall and restarting tv that way and I also tried restarting my router. I cannot figure this out and was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and maybe has a fix. Thanks in advance.
Also, my phone is completely stock.
Did you install a security update from Verizon recently? I have an Lg v20 and am having a similar problem.
Sorry, hadn't had anyone reply to the thread so figured it was a lost cause. Im on at&t and yes I do remember getting a security update prior to this occuring. Still havent found a solution.
There seems to be a problem with the latest update for the 990DS as well .
Edit: Yes mine have the same issue after the update
Its odd that there hasnt been more people with this same issue. Im inclined to say its an issue with the last security update because theres 3 of us with similar situations. Just wish there was more info anywhere on the web about it. Either the 3 of us are experiencing an isolated issue or nobody uses screen share.
Just got another security update now. Tried the screen share and sure enough it is working once again.
Fingers crossed
I hope I receive a similar update.
I happen to have two v20’s and one will screen share at full screen and one screen shares at 4x3 with black bars in the sides. Is there a way to fix this nd screen share so it uses the full screen?
LG v20
When screen mirroring apps to my Samsung TV everything all good until I stream netflix, hbomax, espn & tnt. I get no picture/video, only audio and subtitles. Any solution?
I don't recall doing an update and this LG v20 is on T-Mobile network.
