Hi,
I just got a 2017 16gb Shield that is conencted up to my Sony KDL-50W829B
When I first started it, it worked fine I added some apps etc and connected a USB HDD.
Then my logitech harmony.
No for some reason when I power it up via the Harmony or on the Shield's remotes themselves it will turn both the TV on and the Shield but it outputs no picture, there is sound however.
I have tried different hdmi ports and also unplugged the USB HDD as I heard that causes issues. But still no luck it doesn't seem to start. Sometimes if i just leave it, it seems to eventually show a picture.
Any thoughts? I do have a new HDMI cable coming to test (although tbf the cable I'm using works fine for other devices, but doesn't hurt to try I guess)

Hey guys,
I recently purchased a micro hdmi to regular hdmi. I plugged it in my television and it recognized that it had made an hdmi connection but nothing was showing up on the tv.
I unplugged it and figured although it had over 30 5star reviews for a 3 dollar cable it must be garbage. I re-plug in my hd cable box and xbox 360 and now no hdmi inputs are working on the television.
I swapped the tv out with my brothers and replug the hd box and 360 and it still isn't working! I have no idea what the problem may be. Could I have somehow shorted the inputs on the 360 and hd box?
I did try and use a new cable on the swapped tv and still nothing! I am starting to worry that somehow my home entertainment system is now shot due to just plugging in my damn phone into my tv, but I have no idea how it would effect my brothers television.
It could be a loose connection/cold solder joint. It may have just happened when you plugged that cable in. Do you have a warranty on the TV?
was the TV on when you did this?
Just wondering what people have tried to connect to their SGS2s via OTG cables... I have tried the following:
Working:
Generic Logitech wireless mouse via USB wireless dongle
Logitech MX1000 wireless mouse via MX's docking station

Not working:
Samsung ML-2240 laser printer (recognized but won't print)
Logitech STX webcam (unknown device)
Generic bluetooth USB dongle (unknown device)
87 views and no-one else plugging random USB **** into their phone? Just me then, lol.

Would be kind of pointless anyway.
When my SGS2 and an OTG arrive, I will test some of my hardware(G15(gaming keyboard with lcd display), Razer Diamondback(mouse), Saitek Cyborg EVO(Joystick), HD2(Android phone) and if I ever have too much money and time, something like THIS and of course USB storage devices from 16MB-1,5TB etc. ) Will let you guys know how everything works.

I tried my Logitech G15 and didn't have much success. Connected directly, it's simply a high power USB device, and via a powered hub, it sometimes is detected, usually isn't (seems to depend in what order it's connected). Regardless, I haven't managed to make it function correctly.
On the other hand, my Logitech MX 518 mouse works great connected directly.
My Logitech Webcam 9000 Pro is detected (even directly), but is unrecognized.
I did some tests with the OTG.
Working:
All USB sticks I tested with.
Keychain Spycam. You can even charge it with the phone Only the webcame mode doesn't work
Some old Logitech wireless notebook mouse
Standard Logitech mouse (one that came with a pc)
Not working:
NTFS drive(Haven't tried the NTFS drivers)
HTC HD2-ADB: High power device. Can't test with powered HUB, because the only one I have is the one in my pc display and that doesn't seem to work with my SGS2.
Razer Diamondback:High power device.
Logitech G15:High power device. (as reported above)
Saitek Cyborg Evo (Joystick):The LEDs in the joystick are working, but whatever I press, nothing happens on the device.
Cheap keyboard with backlight:High power device.
Edit: of courses wifi, Bluetooth and UMTS/HSDPA aren't working over otg either xD
Will update when I try more devices
Has anyone tried if it works with a Logitech G700 ?
Do I need 2.3.4 for all this ? I've heard I do ..
I was wondering if a usb dvb-t tuner should work to watch tv( i didn't try).
Hope someone will test it
Connected my digital camera Sony CyberShot DSC-W300 with USB and a new folder appeared in the Gallery app with all the pictures, impressed.
Didn't work with a Canon G5.
I tried a generic USB mouse and keyboard, several flash drives and my wireless mini-keyboard/mouse-combo via USB dongle
Everything worked

Nope, works on 2.3.3 as well.
Samsung implemented the host stuff from the start on.
Just wondering which OTG cables you guys are using. Also are there externally powered versions available (to power devices with higher requirements)?
I use a cheap 9 bucks one from the ew-Bay.
One day I left the wireless dongle for my minikeyboard/-mouse thing connected - phone was in standby all day, but battery was dead empty after a few hours *lol*
Xbox 360 wired controller : recognized as unknown device, lovely it looks it's NOT a power eating controller ! Lights turn on ok
Apple iPad 1G : could work great (device well mounting at first) but it's recognized as high power device, so... Not working.
Sony PSP : Works perfect
Another android phone (Xperia x10i) : guest detects well USB connection, it charges battery (!) and USB mount works. However, host doesn't detect anything.
I tryied my usb 3 drive formated with ntfs and it worked,:good: played mkv video nice and smooth.
As for the cable I bought it on ebay just standard otg cable
I tried Logitech M310 mouse and K360 keyboard both worked.
Can't find any OTG cable in my area :/ and Ebay is not supported in PK yet

I have this one from DealExtreme: Micro USB Male to USB Female OTG Cable for Samsung Galaxy S2/i9100/Nokia N8 + More
I've tried a couple of devices that claim to connect V20 to tv by wired usb c to HDMI connector. They work for a while then the picture is lost or the phone itself freezes up. About the longest play I've gotten successfully is an hour but usually something goes wrong within 15 minutes.*
The phone has been out over 6 months now so I thought someone may have found a really dependable HDMI connector? I don't mind the lack of power in because I can always change batteries but phone should be able to play through HDMI long enough to watch one movie. That's all I really need hut I don't want to have to screw around with it 10 times to watch one movie.
Thanks so much for your help!
I've been wanting to make use of this feature, but haven't extensively yet. I have though gotten to make fair use of a micro-USB to HDMI adapter. A few trouble spots come to mind here.
Sounds like you're powering the adapter/phone from an external power source? How good is that power source? My micro-USB to HDMI was distinctly less reliable when plugged in since I was merely powering it from a normal USB port. Try running it entirely from the phone's battery. If this works better then it could be you really need a higher power source when using the adapter.
How good is your HDMI cable? Depending on how strongly the phone/adapter drives the HDMI signal, a lower quality cable could break the camel's back.
I've been running into a different bit of trouble with USB-C to HDMI adapters. I've found several of these, but whenever they've got a USB-C pass-through, the pass-through is strictly for power and does not carry the USB signals. The MyDP specification allows for USB3 to be passed through if 1 or 2 pairs are used for the HDMI signal, but allows for USB2 to be passed through no matter how many pairs are used for the HDMI signal. There are adapters which also include USB-A port(s), yet none which include an external USB-C with the USB signals. Grr!
I use C to HDMI not micro usb. V20 doesn't use micro usb. It uses slimport. I have one adapter which allows simultaneous charging and one strictly slimport C to HDMI. Both behave the same way. I have a high quality 2.5 foot HDMI wire.
Power source was Samsung tv usb powered output 1 amp. Point is I have the same issue with pure slimport and no charging.
The one that allows simultaneous charging does in fact charge and work but always craps out but so does the slimport C to HDMI.
Hmm, entertaining what you find when you do research. I suspect the V20 is using the "MyDP" specification, which is the official specification name behind "Slimport". Seems there are at least two other video out methods for USB-C.
I haven't done enough with the video-out feature of my V20 to have much experience yet. With a V10 whenever an adapter was plugged in without external power there were no problems, but when an adapter with external power was plugged in video wasn't reliable.
I'm interested in reading if you find out anything.

Sorry I haven't tried, but its seems to connect smoother the a wifi dongle.
does anyone know if there's a compatible dongle for the V20 with not only hdmi but also power input and usb host?
Happening to me too - Any suggestions
Your situation's description fits my problem exactly. I have a USB C to HDMI that was vouched as working by several V20 owners. I plug it into my Dell monitor to play games on a bigger screen. It works well for a while, then disconnects and popup on my screen says something like, "LG Bridge has stopped working do you want to exit?". Once this happens, it's almost impossible to get the V20 to share the screen again. It's not a hub, just a USB C (male) to HDMI (female).
Have a Shield TV Pro (2015) was working fine. Not using it for a long time due to moving. Turn it on this week and now no ports are working. I use usb cable to connect it to PC, but no device recognized. Plugged it to my router, can not see it connect to the lan. I tried to use usb cable to connect to my phone to see if it will charge my phone. Got nothing at all. and HDMI no signal at all. However, the lights on and the hard drive can spin.
Has anyone tried USB-TTL or jtag to recover it?
for those gave replaced hard drive. Is it possible that the hard drive problem could cause no port working?
Still stock firmware, never rooted. Please help. Thanks.
shield tv pro 2015 ethernet port not working
I was using it to stream a movie last night, turned it on this morning no ethernet connection. Tried everything, factory reset was my last option, still no joy. With out cable connection in australia the unit is a paper weight. Anyone have any suggestions, looks like the l/0 board in these things can be changed out pretty easily, but were do you get the spare parts?
Hi - I just got a brand new HD 8 Tablet. I purchased it specifically to play movies to a projector because it is capable of HDMI output.
The tablet charges fine when I plug it in.
But when I plug in the USB-C to HDMI cable I have (which worked fine with all my other devices), I keep getting a message on the Tablet "Moisture Detected" and it wont allow anything to play. There is no moisture, I took it out of the box Friday and it has been sitting untouched for 2 days. And again, it does not say this when charging, only when I try to use the HDMI cable.
Very frustrating and puzzling - any ideas? Thanks!

my guess is amazon screwed that up in their OS. I would use scrcpy or casting. But it sounds like you wanted the HDMI option, i didnt even know it was able! Sounds like a amazon tech question that may require a rom update that fixes a HDMI issue. But maybe someone else has something, but this seems more of a amazon fix... IMO

You can use TeamViewer instead of using video output through USB-C.
TeamViewer can remotely mirror your Fire tablet screen to your PC.
For anyone else who may encounter this, I think the issue is that this generation of Fire Tablet does not support HDMI out...
