Before I rooted and unlocked my tablet, I was able to hook up a micro HDMI and output to my flat screen. Since I did all that (and subsequently also deleted a lot of bloatware), when I connect it now it does one of two things:
1) Nothing at all, tv does not show it as being input and screen doesn't change at all.
or
2) tv screen doesn't change, but on the tablet it will say "HDMI connected" and "Click to change settings" - When I click on the settings, it says something about 3D stereoscopic being disabled but doesn't give me the option to ENABLE it.
So just knowing these things, I have concluded that:
-It is not the TV, as it worked before.
-While there may be something going on with the mini HDMI port, such as wiggling it or pushing it further in, even that fix does not overcome the inability to enable or change HDMI settings.
- It is possible that I have deleted something that previously was allowing HDMI out to TV work.( Any ideas on which app/software would determine that? like NVIDIA or something?)
anyone have ideas on a workaround? thanks!

I thought we lost ability to change hdmi settings with the upgrade to 4.2.1? As far as I'm aware it just works when you plug it in.
Maybe you deleted some files you shouldn't?

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

Hi to all
I had recieved the dock and a good HDMI cable.
I tested in a Toshiba 37WL66Z, perfect video, but no sound, ( In the same tv I have connected my laptop and I have sound ), then I thought that it was the dock or the cable, so I tried this in a second tv I have Toshiba 32AV500P, two years newer that the first, sound ok in both HDMI inputs.( so cable and dock are OK ).
What is going on?, I had searched the net alot, but I have not found a solution, I have read that there are people having the same problem with me, concerning the dock.
Can I do something? is there are different protocolls, that the devices communicate each other in HDMI connections?
Can I made an upgrade or something else?
Thanks in advance
I think the compatibility is not a 100%. I had some troubles when I hooked my Tab. It's unbelievable that there is little to no information about the dock to find while searching on Google! (Troubleshooting)
Yes you are right no info, I had searched everywhere, the tab is a new model, perhaps in the future?, very stange though.
Perhaps the compability problem will be solved with a firmare upgrade?
I cannot found a link to ask Samsung Korea directly to check this matter, because a lot af us have the same issue.
If anyone knows a link to them?
I connected my dock, the tab makes a connected sound, but the tv doesn't recognize the dock, so no sound or video.

Ah. that's exactly the problem I had. This is the routine that usually resolves it.
1. Reboot Tab for a fresh start
2. Hook up the dock to power. (Apparently this is required)
3. Dock the tab.
4. Make sure it shows as "charging".
5. Plugin the HDMI cable. (make sure you don't move the dock too much! the connection is crappy and very easily loosened)
Thank you friend. I suspected I would need the power cable. I got one off ebay yesterday.
You have to add #6 to the steps: hold tongue out to the left side at a 30 degree angle. ;^)
Hi all, fortunately I have my motorola Atrix but I have a problem when playing videos by hdmi to TV, connect the phone and it started the implementation of video on TV but nothing comes out, it is as if not detected, know if I have to do something special on the phone to work this out??
Thanks and regards
Do you select the webtop or media setting once you plug it in? If so, and you aren't getting anything, then your unit might be defective.

hello I am Spanish and do not quite understand what I say, I connect my phone to the TV by HDMI and then open the rocketplayer by example and not play anything on TV.
I've seen people talking about playing with the entertaiment center hd but can not find how to start that application. I've seen that in managing applications is a size 0.0B, may be why?
Where I can get this application??
Thanks and regards.

When you plug in the HDMI cable, a pop-up should appear on the phone asking to start the HD Entertainment Center. That's the only way to get video-out onto the TV. If this isn't popping up and you haven't done anything to modify your phone software, then your device my have a problem.
ok thanks for the help, the only modification I've done is to make the root software, nothing else has that something to do?
I have only tested on a old TV, I'll try another to see if that is the problem, my TV is the first that came with hdmi at best can that be right?
Greetings
My Atrix had something wrong with it's HDMI, I had to return it and get a new one. When I plugged it in to a TV the phone would act properly (the pop-up menu would appear, and the controls would be present when the media center was selected) but I wouldn't see anything but snow on my TV. I also tried a HDMI computer monitor to the same effect. I lastly went to the ATT store and tried a dock, same problem.
Interesting to know that it was more than just mine.
Oh, mine was stock, not rooted yet.

Hi all, ultimately the problem is not the phone, I tested a friend's TV and it works perfectly, when you connect me jump hd window center and all good, so I have a problem with my TV.
If someone happens just as well try it on another TV in case.
Thanks for the tips and greetings.
Hey all, I just got an A500, rooted it, flashed bootloader, recovery, custom ROM, all is good. One issue, I did not see anything on point in the Q&A section on this. I have a standard HDMI cable hooked between my laptop and second monitor. I did get a micro HDMI adapter. I pulled the cable from the laptop and plugged it into the tablet. Black screen on the monitor, although the orientation on the tablet does switch. When I pull the cable out of the tablet I do get a "check signal cable" message across the monitor, so it does seem to be "connecting". I've searched every setting on the tablet, there doesn't seem to be anything else I need to do on it. Am I missing something? The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 940BW, fwiw. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Which ROM are you using for your tablet? ICS or JB? I have a Sony Bravia and when using ICS ROM, everything worked fine. But for the JB, only video but no sounds on the TV, only sound from tablet. It's a known issue for JB ROM. Is this the first time that you use the HDMI from tablet to TV? If yes, I suggest you check the TV's manual for set up option for HDMI. For my Sony TV, I had to use the remote control to select the input option every time I connect the tablet to TV.

PJ Sports 10/27, yes, JB. Sorry, I did not make it clear that I am trying to plug it into my 2nd monitor, not a TV. So, effectively it's a direct path from the tablet to the monitor. Does that help to clarify?
Hi I need some help please , I recieved the tv box from a friend with no remote. I plug in adaptor as well as usb to pc to power it up. There is blue light on tv box but no display on hdmi or av input. Any suggestions on how to switch it on or what to do.
It may be possible to control it using a usb keyboard and mouse if you could see the picture and it has the correct drivers. The picture thing sounds like the biggest problem, I would suggest trying different HDMI cables and tv settings. This is highly unlikely, but if by any chance your friend turned on usb debugging before the picture stopped working, there is a tool called scrcpy that can be used with adb that allows you to view your screen on your computer. It’s quite possible that the thing has broken itself, there’s a lot of reviews online about Android TV boxes spontaneously breaking after only a few months of use, sometimes less than that.
