No HDMI out

[Uglymouse]

I just got a cable to use the mirror mode but it doesn't seem to work. I cannot get any video or audio out. What do you think the problem could be?

Unfortunately it could be your TV. I have a transformer and on their forums there is a big discussion about this. Something about hdcp I think. Anyways what I got from this is the HDMI works with some TVs and not others. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Could be your cable connection. Mine started right up when I plugged it in, but I immediately noticed that if I moved the phone a little that I would lose the connection. It's like it is a little loose on the phone end. Worked fine when I just left the phone laying still. Try making a firmer contact and try a different brand cable. Inspect the micro HDMI port for pin damage.

Does mirror mode mirror the whole phone or just movies & photos.

Whole phone. There might be exceptions that I haven't found, but it appears that whatever is on your phone is mirrored on the big screen.

My coworker's Droid 3 works with the cable and the tv, so it looks like it is my phone, right?

Not necessariy. I would try a new cable first. I have the HD Dock and couldn't get anything to appear on my monitor when the HDMI cable was plugged into the dock. But it worked when I plugged it directly into the phone's HDMI port. So I exchanged the dock - and with the new dock, everything is working just perfectly.

I ran the hdmi cable direct to my 50" Samsung plasma, using mirror mode on the phone it instantly showed the display of the phone on the TV mimicking my every move, however when I tried to get the NFL mobile AP to stream video, it wouldnt. Any suggestions?

Ha..i just posted this over at motorola:

Hi,
Was curious if anyone's HDMI port is finicky. I dont use a dock, just an hdmi cable to my tv.* I noticed that with the slightest movement of the cable or phone, the hdmi connection drops. I have tried 3 cables with the same result. Wondering if my hdmi port is loose or if this is expected behavior as the hdmi connection is typically made when in a dock.

I have the cable and it works on everything EXCEPT when I use my HBO GO and try to actually play a hi def movie. I get a pop up box which says "Please unplug your HDMI cable and try playing hte video again". Is this a rights management thing or is it a technical problem with the phone?

I can play Youtube, all other sources of video, but any real movie service does not work.
