Hdmi not working - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone had this problem ? Its a service job or software ?
I tried 3 different cables on 3 different tvs , 3 different kernels including the original and 3 different roms and all i can see its black image on the tv . nothing its changing on nexus, just slow launcher scroll .
Do i need special cable ?
Thank you

I think you have to connect the tablet to your TV then power on your tablet

hmmm I just tried mine and couldn't get it to work either..

You should be able to plug it straight in, no need to restart tablet.
I have noticed an issue with regard to compatability of tv's though. I have a 42" and 32" LG lcds and a 21" samsung lcd tv upstairs, and they all work fine. Just plug it in and go. However there are a pair of toshiba lcd's downstairs, both different models, but niether of them will output audio over hdmi, despite displaying pictures just fine.

My phillips lcd world's just fine... I just wish google would scale the aspect ratio on everything not just google movies...

Try it on panasonic gt30, lg plasma and a cheap tv

Sounds like you need to send it back... I've never had a problem

I should be getting a new cable tomorrow to test. I hope mine isn't a dud too. My A500 had no problem connecting to both my vizio tvs.

I had this problem but I just left it for a month came back and all was fine. Can't explain why.

Just tried my new hdmi cord and it works great. I bought a 6 foot cable off ebay for 5 bucks.
I hope you gets yours fixed!

Found the problem ...
Looks like i have a really bad nexus .. The jack it s devective . if i hold the cable head inside in some position it works but i need send it to service because unfortunately i cant ask for a replace ...
Uff Im tired of problems with this ..

Make sure it's the Nexus and not simply the cable. I have a couple of micro usb cables that in both phone and nexus 10 only work if the cable is pushed upwards when connected. Other cables work just fine.

just got my mini hdmi adapter and hooked it up to the Sony brava downstairs and it works great. come up to our room and hook it to our philips 5000series 42" 1080p TV and only audio comes out and a black picture. tried 3 different hdmi cables and same thing. one cable is for my xbox the other for the cable box and they work on those devices but not the n10.

I tried 6 cables by now . from cheap to expensive, different formats ... All worked or no like i described earlier up . the socket its not working for me .

Unfortunatelly I've Panasonic TVs VT30 & GT30 which do not give sound out from the Nexus10 _and_ Onkyo 806 receiver which doesn't give the picture out from the Nexus10.
Here is the solution: 1 X 2 Port HDMI To HDMI Splitter Switcher Amplifier Box for HDTV PS3 TV 1080P
I got mine from banggood.com 'SKU043635' $18.70

GTA III Questions

I searched the Nexus 7 General and Nexus 7 Q&A and I don't see these questions covered.
I just d/l'ed GTA III on my Nexus 7. It runs nice, but when in landscape, the button placement makes it impossible to use. As in, the game's buttons don't appear on the screen like they do in portrait. The picture is perfect, not cut off or anything. If it helps, I am rooted, and my DPI is stock.
I tried remapping the controls in the game's settings menu, but it would not let me drag any of the buttons from their standard placement.
Anyone have suggestions?
I just grabbed one of those Micro USB OTG Cables and am going to plug a ps3 controller right into the N7.
It worked well on my A500 but the n7 doesn't have a full size USB port obviously.

+1 to this ^^
I use a wired xbox controller through a port and it works fine, also bluetooth ps3 controllers work well. (sixaxis app)
I think there is a GTA 3 setting to move button placement, try that out.

Best android speaker dock? usb audio out

Hey guys i was wondering whats the best speaker dock for Android? i'd like to charge my phone and listen to music at the same time i don't think my nexus 4 supports usb audio out yet, i was thinking about getting the philips fidelio as14037
The JBL power up would be nice but it is out of my price range, any other suggestions?
My plan is to use my existing PC speakers. Get my computer to turn when my phone connects to the WiFi, connect to Bluetooth on my PC and use a wireless charger. no need for any cables.

Gear4 was supposed to release an Android app-controlled clock radio during Q3 but it never materialized. It would be the first speaker dock to take advantage of USB audio.

I'm using the iLuv MobiDock speaker. It secures the phone in any position whether you have put it in the landscape. The performance and clarity of the sound are awesome. But the only thing I don't like is this docking station speaker is too costly.

[Q] HDMI or Pogo output resolution

What resolution can the Nexus 10 output through the micro HDMI port? How about the mysterious pogo pin connector?
I have a 2560x1600 monitor at work and a 2560x1440 monitor at home. I was hoping the Nexus 10 would be able to do a pixel-for-pixel mirroring on these guys, but it only outputs 1080p on the work monitor and 720p (!) on the home one.
It looks really bad on the screen at home. It's an Auria EQ276W from Microcenter, 27" 2560x1440. It would be super nice if the Nexus 10 would actually run this display at its full resolution. I was hoping the Nexus 10 would have SlimPort like the Nexus 4, since I could then use the DisplayPort input which is more reliable for supporting higher resolutions.
Maybe the pogo pins can output a higher res signal?
It's just a shame that I can't use the tablet as a docking device the way I use my laptop.

Do you have any evidence of this? The Nexus 10 has 6 pogo pins.
Current speculation is that they are Vcc, Gnd, Audio L, Audio R, USB D+, USB D-.
HDMI would be catered for wirelessly, If it got implemented.

A charger is the only pogo accessory that's been caught on camera so far, but six pins is way more than you need for a charger.
I tried to find out anything with multimeter, only found that first and last pins are grounded...

How to connect nexus 4 on a car stereo using USB cable ?Is there any setting to be do

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I believe you can thru Bluetooth or an aux jack.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Not unless the car stereo supports MTP. Most only support USB mass storage which is deprecated on many Android devices now.
A2DP or headphone jack work fine.

So there is no setting inside the andriod to make it compactable with the USB cable? Or is there a work around to make it possible without a aux or Bluetooth ?
Not possible at all. I work at a car stereo shop and not a single one I have tried works. Only solution is auxilary or Bluetooth if you want to spend the extra money... Definitely worth it if you ask me though

Does the aux deliver a better sound experience compared to Bluetooth?

As far as i know there is not... USB is a pain in the ass with android and car stereos anyways. It reads the entire SD card directory and makes it a pain in the ass to navigate through your music. Go for Bluetooth man

Bluetooth quality is purer because straight data.

This actually really dissapointed me, as it was one of my favourite use-cases for my phone, not having to maintain two (or more) seperate music collections - prevents the phenomenon of heading off on a planned highly enjoyable car trip with my current favourite music, only to find that I didn't move it onto the appropriate USB device.
My last phone was an HTC Sensation running a 4.1 JB ROM, I forget which exactly, it got changed a lot . Something minimal. Anyway...
I tried using the headphone jack out, into my car stereo aux in, and even when I upped the input source level in the stereo hardware, and cranked up the volume on the Nex4, it only got to about 60% of the volume I wanted. Bah. The Bluetooth adapter for the stereo is like $200 if it's even available anymore. Very lame.
I could get a headphone amp. Actually, that's probably the easiest thing to do for me. Off I go to the web store.
Ramble over. Oh, first post here. Hi y'all. (software dev)
Thanks for the much needed insight into this issue now. Right now I have to look for Bluetooth adapter. And I hope Google will fill this gap of charging and using the music player with the same single USB cable it would be a good thing to have too.
Hi all hope you all having a fantastic day with nexus 4

Bluetooth is convenient as there is no wire, but folks claiming Bluetooth has better audio quality than line out are incorrect (sorry). You will have much better audio quality with the line out, assuming your head unit's aux input has enough gain to get to levels you normally listen to.

My Sony WX-GT80UI says that it accepts MTP.. But when my Nexus 4 is connected, it says device not compatible. How is this? Do I need to have music files on root of card or what else could make a difference?

[Q] does watchon work for anybody??

I thought it would be kind of cool, so I went through the programming and set it up for my LG V and my time warner high def cable box.
Everything seemed to work, but now all it will do is change the channel on the box. The volume doesn't work, and if I go to turn off the TV it comes up with a screen asking which device I want to control but won't let me select either one.
I'm using it on a Samsung tv and a Comcast set top box, and it's working great for me.
ILO tv & comcast box. works great.
Lg and Panasonic tvs, both with com cast boxes are a no go.

Comcast box and Hisense tv, working.
Also have tvs at work, LG, all working (Around 10) with the same code sent on one of the tvs.
Pretty happy with this as now I can control my work TVs without having to fumble around with remotes.
Two different Samsung TV models & two FIOS Multi-Room DVR's...all working great. Volume doesn't work, but that's because it's controlled by my surround sound system.
Mine's the same way. Got cable working but now no volume.
It works with my LG TV. I have a Comcast X1 and am able to change channels, but a lot of other buttons like menu and DVR don't work. Going to give the setup another go tomorrow.

I actually disabled it. I never used the app but apparently it was running in the background and I kept getting force close messages.
I can get everything to work beside the volume on my Demon AV receiver. I can get it to turn on and off but not the volume. Can anyone give me advice on doing this?

Try again man but this time instead of picking comcast for the brand of set top box, go to other brands and scroll to find the actual company who made the box. For example I have comcast xfyinity cable as well and my 1st set up failed selecting "comcast" as the brand so I looked at my receiver and it was made by Scientific Atlantic or some shat like that lol. But it worked choosing it that way. Hope this helps u?
