I have a vibrant and recently got a 3.5 km to RCA out and I'm having problems displaying vibrant on TV. I've tried all combinations but nothings working. Any suggestions.

-make sure the 3.5mm plug is all the way down on your phone
-swap the yellow and red on your tv side
-this might sound dumb but make sure your on the correct input on your tv set...
Can't think of anything else...make sure you click on tv out on your phone

You have the 3 RCA out wire not just a single RCA out, correct?
As mentioned above yellow is not the video, it's red.
You have made the appropriate change in Settings to enable TV Out?
It's also possible that your cable is simply not compatible, unless of course you bought one that was tested already by someone here. Not all of them work, for some reason.
yah I did everything. I thought it might be the Tom I was running. I made sure I did everything. Bit it might just not be compatible

FYI there's a Nokia cable out there that has the correct colors. You can find it on eBay. CA-75u I believe.
CHANGE
change the colors..instead of yellow yellow..red to yellow yellow to red..good luck
I have a 3.5mm to RCA cable that I bought for my Creative Zen X-Fi2 and it works great for the video out on the Vibrant. Monoprice.com has them for a reasonable price.
Just making sure you didn't miss this step. You have to go into settings/Sound & Display/TV Out
You then have to check the TV Out box. This resets every time you reboot the phone so you have to continue changing each time you need it.
Nokia CA-75U
I just got my CA-75U cable in the mail and no matter what I try, I can't get it to work with my Samsung Vibrant.
With all the colors plugged in correctly and music playing, I can hear it on the TV speakers, unplugging white cuts half the sound, unplugging red cuts the other half out.
The strange part is that all I get is one large white zigzagging line halfway down my screen, the REALLY strange part is that it gives me that line no matter which color is plugged into the yellow port!
The TV is on the correct input.. TV Out is indeed enabled.
I have no idea what else to try, could it possibly be the ROM I'm running?
I've got Nero V3 on my Vibrant along with Voodoo enabled.
Any ideas are much appreciated!

I know this may seem obvious but... you have the TV out set to NTSC, right?

Having the exact same problem. Any help would be great.
Just for reference, is this the correct cable? In the comments section some random guy said it worked great on his vibrant so I went with it.

That's why I posted about the CA-75U earlier in the thread. Someone, not on Amazon, said it worked fine too.
Are you perhaps trying to play Avatar? That won't work. It's got DRM.
Well if you were thinking of upgrading to Nero V5 or soon to be V6 you might want to flash back to stock and see if that works.
I have Nero 5 and plugged my non-Nokia cable in, red as video and it's working
For the tv out. I am using a wire set that came with my old motorola zine. You could call tmo and find out where to get a replacement for that phone.

NTSC is used for US made or made FOR US TVs
PAL is for european. not going into details but the difference deals with FPS and power output.
it just sucks how bad tv out looks on my hdtv...i wish there was an option to do it thru hdmi besides buying a video converter box.
frames per second (which is directly related to power output) and resolution are different for PAL tv sets
The transformer is doing some clipping overscan in each TV or monitor that I try. It removes nearly 40 pixels in each side. For example menus doesn't look complete in programs, videos are cut etc. Is possible to avoid this?
Set your monitor to 1:1 pixel mapping.
Each monitor have different options for ajusting HDMI screen but in the 3 monitors that I have tried none make disappear the problem: a IIyama computer monitor with HDMI imput, a Pioneer plasma screen and a Sony LCD tv.
I suppose that there is nothing in the transformer to modify these settings.
Not that I have found, and that's very odd, since my HDMI works fine on 5 different monitors/televisions.
Have you tried a factory reset? Or flashing a custom ROM?
yes, I have reset to factory etc
I thought that this was a normal issue
I had to set -1 for overscan, it is normal. If your TV doesn't let you set overscan/underscan good luck.

well, you don't say what happens, but here's what I did:
10 foot micro to normal hdmi cable.
Plugged it into the tablet. Plugged the other into the TV. Turned on the TV.
Works great! Btw, the bottom bar with the buttons and clock do not show on the TV (by design.)
I have 2 and both have issues if your holding the tablet with HDMI plugged in. It seems the port is a bit weak and so laying it down is the best way for them to work.
Me too
I can't get anything to show on my Panasonic 720P Plasma. Would the native resolution of the TV be a factor?
I've tried 3 different cables, tried jiggling the connections...the micro HDMI does seem to wiggle a little bit...almost like it's a little loose
I bought a cheap cable off ebay, plugged it in, selected HDMI input on the TV and it works perfectly.
Mine is a rooted stock 3.1 but it also worked prior to the 3.1 upgrade.
I thought the same first time I tried.
Turned out to be cable. Got another and that was fine. Worked first time.
Got a replacement for the original and managed to break that on the first go.
To paraphrase Archimedes, Give me a HDMI port small enough and I will break it.
It only takes a litttttle bit of vertical jiggling and it snaps the end off.

Same here, used micro to hdmi cable included in my Motorola Droid X (in Mexico it's called Motoroi X).
Works nice, it mirrors all but bottom bar and not only by desing but also screen is 800px tall and 720p well... 720px tall, so bar is hidden wich is perfect BUT:
Youtube app ROCKS in HDMI, you see the video in your big screen but you see complete layout in your tab, comments, relared videos, video playing in mini mode etc. but I found that sometimes doesn't work (very rare), also flash sometimes works nice and sometimes it kicks you in the balls.
I JUST got my imito QX1 and after plugging it in and navigating through a few items (I managed to connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse) I made the mistake of changing the HDMI resolution. I noticed that the screen was not fitting properly and the moment I changed the resolution my tv blanked out and said "Input not valid". Now, whenever I power off then on my imito QX1 it'll show the homescreen for a brief second before the "input no valid" screen on my tv.
Does anyone know how to do a factory reset on an Imito QX1? I've attempted to contact the tech support on geekbuying.com (where I purchased the stick) but I haven't gotten any help.
Thanks in advance!!
Stumbled and fumbled but I figured out a quick fix. With a download of the stock firmware by iMito and using the Rockchip launcher I was able to reset it to stock.
My 2017 shield is only outputting 720P.I have tried different HDMI cables and a different TV.Before it was working on my 1080p TV until I took it to a diffenet house and it got stuck on 720p.
I have another shield in the house which works at 4k/1080p which means it's not a cable or a tv issue.
I can boot into fastboot but the text is cut off and zoomed in.Also the boot Nvidia logo has a black sqaure around it on the 4k tv.
I'm only trying to achieve 1080P. It was working perfectly fine before.
Any suggestions???
