SMART DOCK HDMI not Working - Galaxy Note II Accessories

I am using a Stock ATT Note 2...
I cannot get it to display on a TV.
I have used 2 different TV's, 2 different cables and a total of 4 different HDMI ports. And I cannot get it to work...
My first TV is a Sanyo.. my second TV is an LG.. I even used it on my Wifes Windows 8 PC and it did not work....
I have the mouse working on the phone.. a Bluetooth Keyboard working on the phone.. all while in the smart dock.. however. I cant get it to display onto any TV..
Any Ideas.. or tricks I do not know about..???
THANKS

Do you have a case on the phone? Are you sure it is fully plugged into the dock?

Are you rooted with a custom rom. I ask because if I'm not mistaken, I think the smart dock is only compatible with the stock rom. But if you are rooted with the stock rom and don't want to lose all your settings and apps. Use Titanium backup and then I would do a reset.

Something about the HDMI hook-up doesn't like to work with rooted phones. Unroot your phone, restart it, then see if it works.
If you are using exybosabuse uncheck disable exploit and uncheck disable exploit on boot then hit the unroot button, then restart.
If it works after you unroot you can root it again and you won't have any problems after!

I finally got it to work. ..
I did a battery pull and then restarted the damn thing. .. and shamone....
It worked

Hi,
Sorry for reviving an old thread but is it true that HDMI on the Smart Dock won't work when rooted?

No, that is not true. It works fine so long as you are on a TouchWiz ROM. If you are on Cyanogen or any AOSP variant, it will not work.
I have a SmartDock and I am frustrated with it for a number of reasons; this being one of them.

Can you elaborate to me what are the things that frustrate you with the Smart Dock?

just rebooting usually fixes tv-out problems.
the note 2 sometimes gets confused from switching between all the different usb modes (charge, PC, host, MHL, smart dock) so sometimes it gets a little stuck.
rebooting always works for me.

[Q] hdmi dock mini hdmi adapter?

I have a westinghouse 32" 1080p tv. I got the hdmi mulitimedia dock yesterday. I a hdmi cable someone had gave me awhile back that ive never used since ive dont have anything that used it. when I got home and found it took a mini hdmi I got an adapter. after plugging everything in I get no video and the sound goes in and out. like 5 sec on 5 sec off. I cant test on another tv and after searching all day I havent found any1 with this problem. but it seems like they all have the a to c cable. could it be that I need to buy a new cable. does anyone have it working using a regular hdmi cable with a hdmi mini adapter. I.m using the newest overcome rom kratos
I also have the dock and am using overcome kratos, however I don't have the right cable to connect the dock to my tv. I could swear that I read somewhere that the overcome builds don't support TV out.
that is interesting of all the things I thought was the problem I didn't think it would be my rom. could someone confirm this I don't really think I want to switch from overcome

Just tested mine and had no issues. Both picture and sound working. Mini hdmi to hdmi straight from the dock to tv.
just bought the hdtv adapter for p1000 after plug in the screen flashes on the tv but doesnt stay on. I am running GingerBread 2.3.3. I cant seem to solve the issue, I even tried on a newer tv and it does the exact same thing.

I have exactly the same problem as well. I am on Overcome 4.0. I have also tried with 2 different TVs with no success. Still looking for a solution...
I have the same problem
I had theorised that it was because I had updated using the nowipe option! (overcome Kratos edition)
Over the holidays I intend to do a clean Kratos install to see if that sorts it.
I hope you have plugged in the charger to the dock, or else it wont work!
aye done that. no joy though
Yes, charger is plugged in. But still no luck. Tried my wife's Galaxy Tab, which is on Kratos and the exact same issue with the picture showing snow and the occasional flash of the Galaxy Tab screen. I'm wondering if the HDMI Dock itself is faulty.
If so, then my dock has the exact same fault!
I now believe that the snow/static image symptoms that we are seeing is actually indicating an "HDMI Handshake" issue. So I am now researching as much as I can to see if there if anything I can do to rectify HDMI Handshake issues. I'll let you know if I resolve anything.

I tried many ROM(some stock froyo, stock gingerbread, overcome 4.0), only with 2.3.6. cromed works a little better, but still working with the snow for 2 seconds and dark for 5-8 seconds.
I have the same issue. Tried also many ROMS (OC 4.0, Boca RC1, Miui), but no working hdmi output. Is there any ROM where it works?
Last night I flashed my Galaxy Tab with the new and awesome Overcome 4.1.0. HDMI output works fine now.

Just tried flashing Overcome 4.1.0. HDMI is still not working for me. I am wondering if the cable I am using is dodgy. I am using a 2 metre Mini HDMI to HDMI cable. Anyone successfully using a 2m or longer cable?
I use a mini HDMI to HDMI cable, but it is only 1 m long. What is your System? PAL or NTSC?
that is how I am working my setup!

Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard k400 & Smart Dock??

Hi guys, has anyone tried Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard k400 with Smart Dock to see if these are compatible?
Yes they are compatiable and works pretty nice, only thing is that it doesn't turn off the display so you'll need a wired mouse/keyboard/w.e to do that (think there is an app that does turn off the screen)
Personally I plug in the k400 usb and a wired mouse and go to town

that's odd... everything is working on my end. Have you tried rebooting the phone? and maybe unplug the K400 dongle and replug it in? If everything fails, there might be something wrong with the K400?

are you running a custom rom? it looks like it tries but the letters don't come up. when i start typing the mouse cursor goes away but nothing. i tried rebooting with dongle on and off, taking my phone on and off but nothing. might go back to stock to try it out, i must be missing something.

FWIW! When I first got my smart dock and tried to use my logitech k400. It did'nt work. So I had to re-pair it by plugging in the dongle to one of the usb ports on my computer and going about the whole process to pair it with the keyboard. Once that was done. I unplugged the dongle from the computer then plugged it back in the smart dock, and everything worked. So that may work for you. But if it doesn't, then I would replace the keyboard and or the dock.
Also for anyone wondering how to get the screen to turn off while its plugged into the dock. I use an app called Screen Standby. And if I remember correctly. It should work both unrooted and rooted. I also use Rotation Locker to manually change the screen orientation to landscape. These two combinations have worked great for me whenever I use my dock.

My K400 + Note 2 Smart Dock stopped working nicely together after a week or two with the dock. They worked beautifully together originally, but then I made the mistake of using the K400 with a windows laptop. I'm thinking that somehow, the keyboard still thinks it should be paired with a windows device and isn't connecting well to the phone via the dock somehow. I'm not sure why this is happening or how to fix it.
Sounds like another member (laztpn0i) had the same issue. I can successfully connect the K400 to both windows laptops I own (one on Win7 home premium, the other on XP professional). There is no required / proprietary software to install in order for the keyboard to work. In the device manager, the keyboard just shows up as "HID Keyboard Device" under "Keyboards".
How do I break the link between my windows computers and this K400 so I can use it again with the smart dock for my note 2? Sounds like something you had to do as well, laztpn0i, so any help / advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Phil

Download the unifying software from Logitech and 'pair' the device and the adapter (you can't have it paired to 2 adapters at the same time like bluetooth)

Seems to work fine for me.
Just adding to the data pile. Seems to work out-of-the-box for most things. Trying to figure out the buttons now, but typing, mouse etc. working well.

Note 3 won't connect to PC, Kies 3 installed and everything

So I've run into a weird issue that was happening with my Atrix HD the last few days of its life too and now over to the note on my laptop.
I know this is probably a more computer specific problem, as it's recognized on my desktop but I'm running outta ideas here so maybe someone can help?
I've been flashing and rooting and all that jazz since android was released so I know how to work it and my thinkpad was accepting mtp/android connections as recently as september. I unlocked my Atrix HD bootloader and all that but couldn't get the phone to accept the twrp so eventually I just gave up because it was just a stop gap phone.
But now with my new Note 3, I can plug the phone to the laptop and it'll charge but it doesn't bring up the MTP notification (all my androids do this now)
I've checked device manager, it's not even an unknown device in the list..so weird.
Anyone run into this issue before? I know it's not really phone specific but yeah.
thanks in advance
Are you using it on a USB 3.0 port? My home pc only recognizes mine if it's plugged into USB 2.0. Fought this same fight last night myself. Good luck.

Do you guys have BC 1.1 enabled on your machines? If so that's why the 3.0 port doesn't work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk 5
to both of you, my thinkpad (for some awful reason) doesn't have usb 3.0, so no there isn't any USB 3.0 issues.
Literally plug it into my laptop, and nothing. no response from the computer at all not even in device manager, just starts charging as if the phone was plugged into a low voltage socket or something.
baffling.
works absolutely fine on my desktop, but I don't have all my adb and sdk tools set up the way I like them on there.
I have no idea.
ERR edit that it just started working :/ weirdd

Do you guys have any programs that's suppose to charge devices faster with usb? It has to be software related on your laptop

To everyone with this problem, you have to specifically download the Note 3 drivers from Samsung
samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-N900VZWEVZW
I was having the same problem, but now both Kies and manual usb file transfer work perfectly on Windows 8
I have same problem here as well ?? its not reconizing my phone in usb 3.0 and i have the newest drives as well for note 3 gn 9005
got it working
Had the same problem after trading in handset,maybe there is some kind of hardware identifier messing things up for usb?
I removed (uninstalled and deleted) drivers for usb, including for hub then reinstall hub drivers followed by reinstall driver option in Kies3 to install samsung drivers. This got everything working.

Your going to mess your phone up some kind of bad playing with those settings if you don't know what your doing. Also please don't recommend doing any of that without a trustworthy source because you can cause another person to mess up their phone as well.
The Note 3 does NOT support BC 1.1. That's what "Fast Charge" or whatever they call it is. Your phone will not use that connection so there is no workaround, just disable the BC 1.1 function.

Yes I stand corrected however I always mess with these settings in order to unlock 90% of the gsm galaxy lineup. This is just a different way of mounting your phone to the computer at least that is what I was told and have been doing for a while. I have tried all the methods on the note 3 and so far no problem. I have been using my phone like this for a while without any hiccups and I had this usb problem since day one on my SAMSUNG laptop so I tried this method which worked. You can easily switch back to the same setting but once again you might be right about the messing up your phone part. FYI MTP just stands for media trasnfer protocal I think so I went with it after a little research.
Just letting everyone know what worked for me no harm done

I tried installing the drivers from samsung with no luck and then tried this and no luck either. GOD DAMNIT! Why is google making it harder and harder to do this ****? Why can't it be as simple as moving files to another other usb drive like it used to be.
IT works!!it actually works..
what i did was,,download kies 3,supported kies for note 3, and go to Tools tab, and see the option "reinstall device driver" dont unplug your note 3,,and voila!!just wait a while, and see how the kies recognize ur note 3..:laugh:

Do you plug it in USB port 3.0 or in 2.0? Mine, either port are not working
Try using a USB hub,,, 2.0 or 3.0.... this will work......
Go to device manager then to USB find the Samsung driver uninstall. Plug your note 3 in then your system will see your note 3 and reinstall your drivers. Then your good to go.

No sound over HDMI solution?

I have 2 Droid 3 xt862 phones,neither have working audio when hooked up via HDMI.
Both are rooted but running stock,both have the GSM hack and are flashed with the Chinese radio.
Is the problem with the root or the flashed radio?
The HDMI cable and TV work fine,I tried the cable using an Atrix 2.
I want to use one of the Droid 3's as a media/emulator center and have it always hooked up but the no audio makes that impossible.
Anyone else has this issue?

Which ROM? I would recommend backing up your ROM and SBFing. You can always reroot/Safestrap. Actually if you have SS 3 you can just switch ROM slots back to stock, SBF, and test and then just reroot and install SS and it'll be able to switch back. I've done that before.

I've had the same problem with my D3, probably just a coincidence but since I've installed Minimoto the problem seems to be gone...
Anyway, the solution:
If you reboot the phone with the HDMI-cabe plugged in both to your device and the TV, the sound will work again.

How about connecting headphone output of phone to tv input you can. If you don’t have the input on yourTv you could try hooking the headphone output to a stereo receiver.

i could try that,kinda defeats the purpose of hdmi tho.
i SBFed one of the droid 3s and it still didnt fix the issue,my guess is it's hardware related,maybe a defect since ive read others have had the same issue...
im just going to get a droid x2 and use that for my 16-bit rom gaming .
Ok, did you try rebooting the phone with hdmi plugged in and the tv on? That's what did the trick for me numerous times.
edit:
Perhaps something is stuck in the headphone-jack, making a connection, tricking the phone that headphones are plugged in and thus blocking sound from hdmi?

Dex Not Working

When I put my phone in the station it goes black and my tv does the same for a second. Than te tv says no signal. When I unplug my phone it says "samsung dex"... Is it because my tv has only 720p?
I'm having the same issue. The Dex and monitor worked fine with my S8+ but just got the Note 8 and it's blank.

Nothing happens for me and ive tried 2 dex stations. Could the dex software be missing from my phone?
I have used a generic USB-c-> HDMI/USB-A/USB-C adapter without issue. It was finicky at first. What are the origins of your phones?
I believe Dex actually specs 1080p as minimum requirements.

I have used an old Dell 19" 4:3 display. It's easily 10years old. It letter boxed it, but still worked.
Did anybody find out what causes this as I have the same issue with my note 8, tv says no signal but when phone removed from doc it says samsunsung dex?

I had a Dex Station which would charge the phone and allow USB peripherals to be used but no video out or detection of it by my phone. I returned that one and bought another from someone else and it works perfectly. It could be a defective unit.
power supply can also be an issue. only my original note 8 works. I've tried with an s8 fast charger and it dont work. i have also tried with numerous 3rd party fast chargers and also did not work.( quick charge 2 and 3 compatible)
One other tip is, if you freeze or remove the Samsung Keyboard, Dex will not work. They are tied together.
After having issues with mine I found that little tidbit on line.

interesting.
but as any good trouble shooter would do, if it dosent work on stock rom and settings then issue is not on the phones side.

The OP did not state his phone wasn't modified. Mine was merely a suggestion that was proven to work, all things being equal.

I was having problems with the DeX not detecting and also charging the phone every time I put it on, had to try 6/7 times, but it seems fixed after latest update

it was December or January update not Oreo that fixed it, flashed Oreo on my other Note 8 but haven't tried that in DeX mode yet so not sure if there's any changes in Oreo there, I would imagine it can use the new DeX pad though
