Does mirror mode mirror the whole phone or just movies & photos.
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.My coworker's Droid 3 works with the cable and the tv, so it looks like it is my phone, right?
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.

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.
Some apps have been programmed to not work in HDMI mode. I know HBO is one if them.

It would be nice if htey would just tell you that it does not work, instead of making it look like some hardware problem. Being an engineer, I spent a couple of days playing with things before I came to the conclusion that there is a DRM problem. I mean just outright saying " Some apps have protected content and will not work on the HDMI cable" and then I would just know it is HBO and NOT the cable is bad.
Thanks MOT.
