Works fine here bro..

I'm also rooted and mine outputs with no issues. Occasionally the cable loosens and cuts out but I just plug it back in and it's fine. Make sure it's securely plugged in.

Mine works perfect for me

Works for me.

Thanks
Cheers for the replies guys. i'll try some other cables and see if that was causing the problem!

One further thing to check is your TV settings. On my TV for example you had to enable the port in the TV settings before you could even switch to it. Also depending on what the port was defined as it may or may not pass audio. Worth digging around in your TV menus.

Snow/Noise
I have a rooted KFHD. Get frequent snowing effect on the TV when using the HDMI cable. I believe it is the cable, but have read everywhere that HDMI doesn't get noise/snow. So could it be the device or the port?

Snow doubtful.... but snow in general is doubtful
Is this hooked direct into your tv or is there a box between.

Bassbase,
Yes, we use it weekly in the office on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and a Kindle Fire HD 7", it works flawlessly on a 72" TV which we use for presentations with sound and at home I use a HDMI Converter on an old TV at home, it too works flawlessly with Netfix and Hulu. What apps are you using? Have you tried Hulu or Netflix? I can say Root is not needed to make the HDMI Port function properly nor does Root affect the HDMI Port. If you give me the App name we will test it in the office.

Need a little more info, are you rooted, running a custom rom, what program are you trying to get too play on your tv? I love how people come on and post crap like this and expect a decent answer.

Yes I'm rooted running omegaevo v1.1

Not every device you plug the HDMI cord into is compatible with the HDMI stack on the Evo. For example: My LG TV accepts the HDMI out just fine, but my RCA TV causes my phone to instantly reboot.
It would REALLY help if you gave more info. What kind of movie? What player? What codec, resolution, bitrate is the movie? What kind of tv? where did you get the cable?

Try this as soon as the video starts playing unplug the HDMI and plug it back in. I have to do this all the time. You might have to do it more than once.

Project Tablet screen to TV

Is there a way or an app that will allow you to project your tablet screen to a tv? For work we need a TV that will allow us to project the tablet screen on it. We have yet to buy a TV yet and we currently have Galaxy S tablet as an option or the Moto Xoom as another option. Any suggestions? I've Googled for a solution and I've also looked through the market and haven't found anything. Being able to project wireless would be MUCH preferred.
Thanks!
You have the software on the tab already its called All share but you have to use a Samsung TV and that also has to have All Share on it.

I think he means an app that can do the same thing as the HDMI dock. The HDMI dock allows everything to be projected to the TV, not just media. In other words a mirroring app such as ones that exist for the Droid X and EVO but wireless. I would be interested in this find as well. Right now I use the HDMI dock which works quiet well but a wireless solution would be gold.
I use a $24 cable I bought from ebay. Then I project my screen through my video projector, but to a tv would be just as simple.

As has been said already, this only allows you to share media (eg video) rather than apps/homescreen etc.
However, Allshare is a DLNA client/server that works with any other DLNA device, not just Samsung TVs.

This cable is a nice and cheap alternative. However keep in mind that it won't charge your tab while it is in use while the HDMI dock does.
can we log in to internet via hdmi dock to TV?

Yup you sure can. If you have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse you can do anything from your couch if you wanted to. I recommend the Logitech dinovo mini or dinovo edge if you want this option.
I know this thread is kind of old but I want to ask...I want to do the samething wirelessly on my note 10.1 2014....now I don't have a smart TV but with chromecast is it possible? Also would chromecast have to be rooted? I don't want to be able to use some apps...I want to be able to see my TV the same exact way that I do while it is on the tablet

How about the usb cable? I am not sure about your tablet, but it should have a tv out option in the settings. I hope this helps.

HDMI & Flash Video

Does anyone know if we should be able to mirror while watching flash video in full screen? Has anyone successfully done it?
Thanks!
If by mirror you mean plug your xoom into a hmdi port on a tv, then yes you can. I was streaming an bbc iPlayer video stream using flash whilst connected to ky tv. I did this using the eos stingray rom. The hdmi support is awesome in ics. Significant audio improvement over and above honeycomb.

Does ice now support 1080p output over HDMI? I remember that when I tried it i
Over the summer it was only capable of 720p.

Thanks for the information.
Are you able to do this in full screen mode. When I press the player's button to expand the video yo full screen, I can no longer view the output. I can see the browser tabs at the top, the status bar at the bottom, but the video/audio foes dead. It's just a black screen where the video should be.
flash?
I have ics, and flash is a fail. I can watch in the small player, but click that full screen button.... freeze. Crackle don't work, only YouTube app will play full screen hdmi. On their site, HDMI sound no picture on either TV or tablet, but while playing unplug hdmi while in fullscreen then plug back in it works! Is there a solution as I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash several times? Would have figured they would have released a fix as its been over a month. Also I have to use stock browser as opera says I don't have flash

i have exactly the same problem on the JG nightlies.. any solution for this? videos are running fine but when i stream the flash videos full screen my application freezes.
On my Jellybean EOS HDMI mode mirrored the xoom screen, but I think it was only 720.

I noticed that i have to pull the hmdi cable, let the flash stream going full screen, then plug the hdmi cable again..
nevermind, works for me now
I have to plug in the HDMI cable into the TV, turn on my screen, plug it into my xoom, and it will show up on the TV immediately. Everything on my xoom is mirrored fine, but I have to keep my screen on or the TV loses the signal.

havent tested yet if it work with JB
Tested with JB on my xoom and worked great! Useful when watching a movie so the screen doesn't over heat or kill extra battery. Thanks for the link! For anyone else, it does need root to work.

Because HDMI is ALL it has. no composite video on ring2 of the headphone jack, no other way to get video out of the phone onto a bigger screen.
you plug this into your phone, then you can plug your phone into a monitor or projector that doesn't have an HDMI input but has VGA or RGBHV (with appropriate cables)
Many conference rooms/presentation rooms/auditoriums still don't have HDMI/DVI on podiums but use RGB video distribution systems,
and it looks great.
That's why we need this!
Cool! Thanks for this! I have a monitor and speakers I use with my netbook. Now when my netbook is being used for couponing by my roommate I can watch stuff without dragging my roku to my bedroom!

[Q] Can the G2 mirror out to an HDTV?

I posted this question in general and then realized there was a Q&A section. My fault...So can you mirror out to an HDTV with MHL, Slimport ect?
I'm not looking to stream anything like Netflix or Youtube but actually mirror whats going on with my phone to a big screen. Specifically using it for golf instruction with the V1 app. Thanks a lot for any answers

Supposed to via slimport only....
im using the analogix slimport adapter and it mirrors EVERYTHING off the G2 works flawless they are about 30 bucks on ebay
I'm trying find a gadget that will mirror my phone to some RCA jacks. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Basically my car has a monitor that would display anything that's being put into RCA jack in the center console.
How would I go about this?

You'd basically be looking to take a Slimport adapter to get it form the phone, to HDMI. Then use another to give you RCA outs, like this one:
Search Amazon for: Etekcity® HDMI to AV Composite RCA CVBS Video + Audio Converter For TV PS3 VHS VCR DVD
Hope you've got some good room to hide wires.
