Well...what info do you need? Its stock and locked. This is a feature thats supposed to work out of the box. It works for a second and then the tv says no signal.
One of three of my televisions do the same thing. I just think it is a result of using hardware from different manufactures all at once...think about it, the tv, the cable, the phone...its a lot of variables.

Make sure the TV is on and the HDMI cord is plugged into the TV before plugging it into the phone (not sure if the Bionic uses HDCP but that could have something to do with it).
Try a different cable.
Try a different TV.
If none of those work, you have a warranty.

First off:
Running Cognition 3.04
TV is Vizio 32" LCD 1080P
3.5 mm to rca red,white,yellow
not sure the brand of cable, just one I had lying around.
I seem to be unable to get tv out to work. Is there a certain cable that works better than others?
TV OUT Settings are on, and using NTSC. I tried PAL also just in case. I tried all the tv input settings (av1,av2, ...etc)
Saw this work in numerous videos. I must be doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for any input!

I Had a similar experience but my TV is older... I just presumed that the TV couldn't handle the output. At one point I was able to get a really faint sketchy image of the phone that was live but nothing that would let me watch any videos from my phone with it.
Edit: I found Twonky Server Mobile in the Market and stream from my phone to my Xbox360 with no problems. I recommend the app it's great!
I went on ebay a typed iphone tv out get the one with a 3.5mm jack

Got it to work! It was the old cable I was using. I used my buddies nice new Belkin cable and it works great!
How does the quality look? Sound too?
Video Quality: Not so great, but I really didn't expect great quality through AV Cables.
Audio: Not bad at all!
I tried a couple games through headphones coming out of the tv, and the sound was real good.
Eh, not bad. Wish it had an HDMI OUT!

Exactly, that would be sweet. I read a post on here somewhere about a cable that is mini usb to hdmi, that Samsung made but then gave up on. Why oh why would they do that?
I bought a cable from radio shack and it works fine. Connected it to my 46" samsung hdtv and an older tube tv. The older tv only had a cable input so I connected the rca thru a vcr. Both work fine. One note u do need to switch the yellow and red cables when connecting to the tv. Colors wont match up to get it to work.

Well I'm not sure what cables you are using but, Yellow is video and white and red are audio on mine so that ain't happening. But as previously mentioned, I got it to work with new cable, matched all three colors.

i read this too on a forum with the following additional info: (not sure on accuracy)
the reason it doesnt work / needs update for HDMI cable to work has something to do with the dock, in order for HDMI to work in HD through USB it requires all 5 pins/wires, and programming the phone to use them for hdmi would stop the docking cradle from putting the phone into desktop mode.
Samsung basically had a choice to make. Docking cradle with dock mode OR usb/hdmi.
**once again that was read on a forum, truthiness may very.
I just posted an email to Samsung support about compatibility and what software is needed. I will let you know what I hear.
Hi guys , did someone finally manage to get this hdmi cable to work (Samsung ECC1HU0BBEB) with the captivate
I bought it , have tried several ROM's and still nothing yet ! No signal !

I bought the same cables from radio shack also. Work good, but do have to swap red and yellow to get video.
Hey guys, I found this cable on Buy and it looks interesting. I have not bought it yet but it does list the Bionic as compatible. Has anyone tried it? If so, please let us know how it is. If not, and you have a spare $10 go for it and bring back word. When mine comes I'll do the same.
Thanks!
So would be used for headsets with microphones, right? I see no reason for it unless that is the case.
It would be for 3.5mm audio out from the USB port w/o buying motos full car dock set.

Can you charge the phone while using this? It appears to only have a male USB plug, without any provision to plug a charger into a female jack.
i dont think this cable will work, and if it does id be a waste to not just spend another ten bucks and get the moto OEM cable +charging
heres why: the OEM cable not only charges and outputs audio but, more importantnly, *it bypasses the internal SW amp*. this means you are outputting as clean of an analog signal as you can from the phone to be amped directly by your car's components. you lose the ability to DSP/FX/Beats control, but if you use NeutronMP like you should be, it doesn't matter at all
Wouldn't trust the compatibility list, as Apple i-devices are listed as well. I used to be interested in a product like this, but seems redundant to me now... (why not use 1/8" Jack/aux cable?)

Im getting the bionic dock in a couple fo days, and want to set it up in my office connected to a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. I have an old flat screen monitor from my PC, (which died), that has the pin connector. is there an adaptor that will go from the monitor, to the dock USB connector? I have googled, and cant find anything. every link was for items used to connect multiple monitors to one PC, and were more expensive than the bionic dock!
anyone know what I should be looking for, or if it even exists?
You definitely will need an expensive device to convert an HDMI signal to a VGA signal.
You've probably seen DVI to HDMI (and vice versa) converters that were relatively cheap before ($5 to $30). These devices are cheap because the signal doesn't actually have to be converted from digital to analog. The signal is basically just getting switched to different pins on the cable as it passes through the converter.
The signal coming out of our phones (HDMI) is a digital signal so to switch it to an analog signal (VGA) you need a scan converter. A scan converter is a device that actually converts each frame of video from one format to another. If you've ever converted a video file from one format to another on your PC, this is a somewhat similar process. For it to happen on the fly you need a specialized device (the scan converter).
Here is an example of what you would need.

You're right, these things are pretty expensive and you could buy a monitor with an HDMI input for close to the same cost.

I remember seeing a Motorola accessory that allowed for vga output. http://m.motorola.com/Consumers/US-...hargers-and-Adapters/WEBTOP-VGA-ADAPTER-US-EN
But to work THROUGH a dock, that would take some doing. I'll look into this a little deeper after work.
xda premium is insane! ... In a good way.
Thanks! I guess I'm leaving it for now, and will just upgrade the monitor some day. Probably won't need to since the lapdock 500 should be here next week.

Will any Mini HDMI to HDMI cable work for the Nexus 10? What I mean is, are there different ones, the part you plug into the Nexus, I know there are like tons of different usb connections.
I want to play content on a TV. I found a nice cheap $7.99 cable from Walmart, but don't know if it will do what I want?

It is microHDMI. I bought this one from Monoprice for $7.50 and it outputs both audio and video just fine.
So Mini would be a different one then?
Alright, are there USB to HDMI cables available? Does that do everything, any benefits?
You need a micro hdmi cable for your nexus 10... There are micro Usb to hdmi cables but they are for phones/tabs that use MHL... The nexus 10 has a dedicated hdmi port
The the micro hdmi port type D?

Ordered one of these. I tried another cable from another supplier and it was very flakey! Monoprice rocks!:good:
Hey guys.
So I bought one of these, only a 3 foot one, and it's absolutely wonderful.
Two questions though....
How long of a cable can I have before there becomes a streaming issue?
Also, how can I blank the tablet's screen while having it still continue to stream video content?
My device is rooted and I have Xposed framework installed.
Cheers.

Is there perhaps another method?
The reviews for that application are somewhat intimidating.
WTF! This g-d [email protected] thing ruined my tablet. I installed it, then it went to screen off mode, which disabled my HDMI out too. So I couldn't see anything, so I turned it off and back on, and when it came back ... it was all reset to factory! everything is gone! Piece of crap

Would definitely do a backup before installing then.

I have a micro HDMI I got from amazon and I use this app and works well after you learn how to set it up. Once you install you need to set your screen on regular settings to stay awake, I usually set it to 30 min, so the tablet won't turn the screen of while watching video, then I set the app in the settings to turn off screen with HDMI cable detection, then if you need to wake the screen after is off and you're watching something, it has a shake to wake feature, just shake the tab and will wake the screen up.
I have had it wake the screen up before while watching a vid but not often.

I realize since its 4.0+ it should, but I haven't heard anything concrete one way or the other.

I think ICS has the support, but the connection will be an issue. Impedance due to the cable size will likely create minimum power threshold issues.
Is there a shorter cable, or other connector option? This ties into my review concern of the proprietary connector.
Yea, I was thinking about that connector as well. I could use bluetooth I suppose, but I've found that things just seem to work better for me when I can plug it in.
I do have a micro to standard usb cable. Now that I think about it, I should try that with my fire hd.
My wife is giving me crap about wanting the hd+ after I saw the mothers day sale on it, she says the old nook color is still working fine...
