HDMI not working. - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
So i bought an HDMI mini cable on eBay, got here plugged my Nex10 on it to stream some movies and it worked like a charm.
That was a couple of weeks ago, i have not been able to watch some movies because of collage/work.
so no i have a little time and was gonna watch some movies and when i plug my Nex10 no image?
Its strange because the TV recognizes that the tablet its plug in, but when i switch to HDMI i get no image.
If i unplug the tablet the TV does not recognize no HDMI plug in, But when plugged in it appears to be recognized.
Could it be the cable?
Its been used only once and properly stored afterwards.
Has anyone have this type of trouble?

If I were you I'd double check and see if its on the right input. If that doesn't work, its most likely the cable.

[Q] Acer HDMI - special settings?

I have an A500 with the Acer stock rom on it (3.2), and I'm having problems getting the HDMI out to work. Is there a special setting somewhere that sends the screen output to HDMI? Or should it automatically appear?
I got a micro HDMI to HDMI adapter off of eBay, so I don't know if that's the cause of the problem. I know the HDMI on the TV works because my XBox works fine on it.
I would appreciate anyone's insight into this problem.

Have you tried turning off your tab, plugging in the HDMI cable to both your tab, and TV, then booting up tab?
It should just work as soon as it's plugged in. You'll see a notification that an HDMI display was detected or somesuch. My A500 had a loose HDMI port so it would flake out with the slightest touch. Cables are cheap, so it may be worthwhile to get another cable from a place like monoprice.com and see if that makes a difference. If not, it's either the device or TV. Maybe a friend has an Android phone with micro-HDMI you can test with?
I found plugging into tv first then connecting to tab worked best, before that I only had a blank tv screen... Seems the A500/501 needs the tv connected first, at least mine does...
mine to just works..
WELL it does on my SAMSUNG SMART TV..
ON MY LAME BUT Huge screen SANYO.. (DONT LAUGH IT WAS ON SALE) tv in the living room i have to sometimes plug the cable into the tv.. set the tv to hdmi 4.. IT WILL ONLY WORK ON PORT 4 .. then when i have black screen saying no input found or something like that i plug in the tablet.and all is well..
ALSO PAY GOOD MONEY FOR THE CABLE.. THE CHEAP TINY Connector is not equal on all cables my iconia only works on the gold plated high end cable
i use the same one as i do for my cell phone...
ACER WAS LAME BY PUTTING SUCH A SMALL PORT. there is room in that spot of this tablet for atleast a mini port if not full size I hate micro ports...
I bought a micro to standard HDMI cable (by PNY) last night at Staples and it works fine. I got 10ft for $29.00, compared to the Monster micro 4ft for $39. It worked fine at the hotel I was at on the flat panel in my room. No complaints from me.
I'm surprised at the diameter of the cable, as it is very thin. But, it works! Hellooooo Netflix!
I'm about to try it at home on my old Sony XBR...
Cheers!
I bet he's using a Westinghouse TV if I'm right for some reason the Westinghouse brand doesn't like any android hdmi out this goes for my a500 and my evo. Mine doesn't work and I have had it working with my Sanyo as everyone mentioned just by plugging it in

I also had a problem of not getting my Westinghouse TV, that is only a few years old, to recognize the HDMI input from my A500. Tried everything and it didn't work, but the A500 works on my other three tvs.
I plugged my A500 into an older Sony 52", using the side-mounted HDMI input, and it 'just worked'. Mind you it freaked out momentarily when I flipped the tablet around and the screen auto-rotate kicked in, but once I oriented the tablet in it's normal "upright" (volume buttons on top) position, everything looked great.
On this same topic, I noticed that standard/full-sized HDMI to HDMI Micro cables are hard to find in the retail chain, so I bought mine (dirt cheap prices/shipping and excellent quality) from monoprice dot com.
Really? Huh. Rotation is disabled for me when i plug it into my 25" hanspree
And it 'just works' for me too

HDMI Adapter Problems

So according to Samsung's website, the HDMI adapter form the Tab and Tab 2 will also work with the Note.
I purchased it and hooked it up. My Note sees the TV and the TV sees the Note, but no matter what I do, the TV screen just shows black.
I tried my other TV and got the same thing.
Anyone else have this problem or know a solution?
The female 30 pin port of the HDMI adapter has to be connected to the power supply. Did you plug it in?
Yes.
Has anyone had it work?
Yes, it worked without any issues for me

HDMI to TV - video, but no sound - anyone else?

When I connect my Nexus 10 to my HDTV, it shares the device's display without issue, but there is no sound output. I've tried everything that I can think of. Am I missing something? The last time I connected any android device via HDMI was my Xoom over a year ago, and since I got rid of that pretty quickly (too heavy) it's been a while. Suddenly I am having problems.
This is the cable I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-F...1353207285&sr=8-1&keywords=Micro+HDMI+to+hdmi
same here
Habe the same Problem. Sound isnt Wirkung with HDMI . is there a solution ?
If I find out this thing doesn't support audio out via HDMI :crying:
Someone tell me theirs is fine... please?
All quiet here, too.
I am using this cable.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C3HZCC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01
I had the exact opposite for a while (sound with no video). I was using a micro to normal HDMI adapter and a normal cable and it turned out the cable connection to the tv was loose. Fixed and all was well. Sound and video.
I didn't expect others to have the same problem. That's scary. I'm going to call Google Play support then. Thanks guys.

I have no problem with HDMI audio out... both audio and video work fine... on stock & even with my custom ROM...
I think I found the solution.
Since my TV is older, it only had 2 HDMI ports. I was using an HDMI switch to give me more ports. Running through the switch gave me picture, but no sound. When I plugged in the cable directly into the TV, it worked perfectly.
I found the solution from a Droid razr owner who had the same issue with an HDMI extender.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-support/214913-no-sound-connecting-hdmi.html#post2176611
There should be more documentation for this kind of thing, but a hunch..
...maybe the hdmi ports have to be arc enabled (1.4a) then only giving audio?
So, mixing and matching cables/connectors/switchers will undoubtedly cause problems.
I'm also having no sound, but display works fine. I have it connected straight to the tv with a standard cable. Any ideas?

I am, also, experiencing no sound over HDMI problem. It might be the cable. What cable are you using?
I had a similar problem the other night. I fixed it by disconnecting HDMI and then turning volume up on n10 and then reconnecting HDMI. When connected the volume buttons didn't change volume at all.

I have audio but no video. The same cable works with my Asus tf700 and Kindle Fire HD. I called support and they are sending me a replacement.

I had the same problem. I solved it by connecting my amp to it via the headphone socket, turning the volume on the n10 up and then pulled the headphone jack out.
Odd that you cant adjust volume with just a hdmi cable plugged in.
I have sound but no picture. Using a micro HDMI adaptor to hdmi I've tried a cheap cable and a audio quest cable

I'm using an HDMI to HDMI cable with a HDMI in to micro HDMI out adapter. Getting no sound out at all. It's not coming from the TV or the Nexus 10. Going to buy a normal HDMI to micro HDMI cable and try that...
I got no video! it shows 1080p signal but gives me black screen, any fix?

Bad hdmi adapter?

I got a hdmi adapter to plug into my n10, bought it from DX.com
It just came, and I can't get it to show up on my TV.
I know the cable and tv work cuz I use it for my ps3. So I plug in the adapter and cable, but there's no signal on my tv.
A few times it went from the blue screen to a black screen and said 1280*720, but I never got any picture at all.
Is this a bad adapter most likely? I'm on a nightly Cm10.1 from a week or two ago.
I was going to contact DX to say it was broken but wanted to make sure. I have no other way to test it as nothing else takes micro hdmi.
Edit: I can't even find the order on my account =/ well it was only like $2. Oh well.

how about an experiment?
I've a couple of questions, mvmacd, and an idea you could give a try.
I'm assuming a) by an adapter you mean a unit (possibly with a pigtail) that's male micro-HDMI to female standard-HDMI and b) that your TV has a standard female HDMI port... right?
And if your TV has more than one HDMI port, you're making sure the TV is set to look for input at the correct port, no?
You could consider taking your tablet and cable(s) to a different TV, for example, at a friend's, and see if it works there.

I think it's a good idea to check the features of N10 (or any other device) with its stock rom or firmware intact, so that you have a baseline reference to compare other external cables or equipment with.

"Moisture Detected:, USB-C to HDMI

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...
