[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!

[Q]AOKP + GT-N7000 Desk dock

What's up you guys!
This official dock.. Desktop dock..http://www.google.dk/imgres?imgurl=...=dceKUKOYI4fMtAbA24GACA&ved=0CE8Q9QEwAg&dur=9
This dock has an audio out jack in the bottom. It's linked to the USB charger and when you plug in the phone to the dock, it will play the sould through it, ON OFFICIAL ROMS, what about on AOKP or CM10? Is there anyways to make this work? Should I try some app? Anything?
- AOKP has dock settings but they grey out as soon as I plug in the phone, and if it's not plugged in the settings simply toasts me that there's no dock, duuuuh. Any1 know anything? I can't go back to stock now, ofc. I can't. I'd just rly like to use the dock for the purpose I once bought it for.. Serving my stereo, yeah.
Help me out?

OMG, nevermind, I found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...hl=en&rdid=net.muteheadlight.dockredir&rdot=1 And it works GREAT on AOKP Jellybean. - Says to work for all Samsung S devices also. ^^ Well happy. Redirects my sound flawlessly. But, wont do the trick for call in audio during car rides. Hell, I don't own a car. Does the trick for me. Deffo.

Motorola Dock

Anyone tried Hashcode's Kexec rom with the Motorola Dock? I can't get audio out from the line out and carmode to launch automatically.

The dock bug has been around for a while now. I'm not sure if it's going to get fixed. But, it's possible it may get addressed in Hash's upcoming reworked kernel.

Yep - I use both the home dock (makes a great alarm clock when used with the Bedside app) and car dock. The failure to auto launch car mode (or either dock mode for that matter) and the lack of audio out via the special USB cable are pretty much the only things keeping me from using CM10.1 as my daily. Audio out has never worked but dock detection did work in earlier versions. I'm not sure when it quit working but I do miss it greatly.

I wonder what causes the dockmode in Gingerbread? I tried moving APKs with the word dock over to CM 10.1 but that didn't help.

[Q] Kernel with car dock support for CM10.1

So far I've expected that the car dock app will be started, when I put the P970 into my car cradle (LG SCS-390) - but nothing happens.
So I have spent some time to find the reason for this (wrong) behaviour.
I use AVATAR ROM 3.0.2, with CM10.1
When I send the DOCK_EVENT using the adb, then the car dock app will be activated.
At boot time the Android expects a file /sys/class/switch/dock/state to read the current docking state - but this file does not exist.
This file should be created by the kernel - but the kernel of the current CM10.1 does not create this file.
Has anyone a kernel which works with CM10.1 and supports the car docking event?
Thanks

[Q] How to get HDMI-out functioning? Atrix HD

I got an adapter for the HDMI outlet. When I use it to connect the phone to tv or monitor, the big screen says no signal.
When attached, the phone does rotate the home screen, which it does not do normally, so I think that the adapter is working.
I have Cyanogenmod android 4.4.4. There are no settings for hdmi, no Overscan like stock OS (there is only Expanded Desktop, whatever that is).
Is there some setting I have overlooked? Is there something else I should do to get the signal out to the monitor? Is my adapter not working?
Thanks

It works for me using CarbonROM 08/04 build using an HDMI to micro HDMI adapter. Also there aren't any settings because I think only atrix HD and maybe a couple others have an HDMI out port. Did you get a Motorola factory micro HDMI to HDMI cable? Or did you buy an adapter like mine?

I have the small adapter, no cord.

I bought an adapter from ebay, the cheapest i could find, and it works no problem with one of my hdmi cable, i have a longer one that stays with no signal, test a different cable. :good:

When you plug the cable and adapter into the phone, does the monitor just blink on and show the phone screen?
Also, does the phone's home screen only rotate after being plugged into the monitor? (like mine does)
My cables to the tv and monitor definitely work. The adapter might not, but its affecting the home screen rotation makes me think it does work; then maybe Cyanogenmod or Android 4.4.4 doesn't work.

The adapter should be working based off of what you described. I'm sitting on the 20140102 revision of 4.3.1 and I see the same thing on my device. Only difference is that I do get a signal. No HDMI option in any menu present. Expanded Desktop is full screen mode and should be used with a BT mouse or Pie. I don't believe there is anything you have overlooked, but then again I have yet to really start playing with KK on my daily device (currently running stable version on DX and alpha version on A4G)

Thanks for the inputs.
Whoop, I see I actually have Android 4.4.2 if that matters.
I have Cyanogenmod 11.0-20140109
I would like to hear if anyone uses either of these and hdmi.

I only have lap dock to connect to but I also get no signal blinking screen on all ROMs I've tried except for stock based I even tried Dr orange's suggested 8/4 carbon build

I'm a little late on this but since I just tested this today: This may be a CM or KK thing as you say. I had the same symptoms you reported when testing with AHD on CM11 1/1/15 msm8960 jbbl nightly but with the same TV setup and cables stock JB phone system worked great with HDMI. More detail From this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57975553&postcount=676 which I posted put up before discovering this thread.(text pasted below)
"I got a Micro HDMI male to HDMI female adapter and had a chance to test in the 1/1/15 MSM8960 JBBL nightly . It did not work although the phone and TV were clearly talking through the cable when connected:
- Phone media sound mutes.
- Phone goes into forced landscape mode for all screens including desktop regardless of native and theme based rotation settings.
- TV screen input type displays HDMI for a few seconds before fading (an indication that TV has seen an HDMI device).
- When cable is disconnected a flash of colored squares on the TV indicates a change of state at the TV, the phone goes back to portrait mode and resumes playing sound.
From what I've read this may still be a limitation of CM but there is also a lesser possibility that this is due to limitations of the TV. The only reports of successful HDMI connections I've seen for the Atrix HD are in stock but I did not have long enough access to the test rig to try stock and eliminate TV and cabling as potential issues. Will do that next chance I get.
[EDIT] Tested in stock on the same gear and HDMI worked great. Phone went into landscape as described above and the TV picked up the image of the desktop fine with minimal cropping of the side edges - possibly correctable at the TV. Media audio plays to TV through HDMI connection with no addition configuration required at TV or phone. Not sure what (if anything) is missing from CM in regards to to fully negotiating the connection and sending the video/audio."

Still chasing functional HDMI out in CM. From my recent post of testing results at the AHD CM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58469229&postcount=683:
HDMI-Micro out fail
HDMI-mico out still Not Working in anything but stock JB. CM and other KK builds not working including the following:
- CM11 msm8960 jbbl 1/1/15 nighlty in ART.
- CM11 msm8960 jbbl 1/19/15 nighlty in Dalvik (converted to Dalvik from ART)
- CM11 msm8960 jbbl 1/25/15 nighlty in Dalvik having never been in ART
- Clean flash of Validus msm8960 jbbl Lollipop (no gapps)
- Clean flash of CM11 msm8960 jbbl 1/19/15 nighlty in Dalvik (no gapps)
- CM11 msm8960 jbbl 1/25/15 nighlty in Dalvik having never been in ART (restored)
In all of the cases listed above when HDMI cable was connected between phone and TV; Phone screen goes to landscape, media stream muted at phone speaker, and TV flashes as if about to receive signal but no video or audio on TV.
I cant think of a reason why the TV would be able to receive properly from stock JB but not any of the other builds on the same device. In the interest of thoroughness I have to test on a different TV. Beyond that I don’t know.
