HDMI trouble

Any one else having trouble with HDMI re-booting? Every time I plug in my hdmi cable to my tv the phone freezes and then reboots, tried stock rom and rooted damagecontrol rom both with the same issue...

No real experience here myself, but from what I've read some TVs work better than others, and some have a problem handshaking with the TV. Have you tried it on a different TV/monitor?

It's the tv, I've went through the same thing, it works fine on my TVs at home but at my mom and my sisters houses it did not work, they both have the same TVs it freezes and reboot the phone.

Hahaha. Yeah, it's stupid. But to be fair a cheaper TV is a lot more likely to incorrectly implement the HDMI spec. Your Bluray player or Xbox might be able to deal with this, but I just don't think a mobile device has the hardware to compensate.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Nexus MHL

Hi there, I bought an MHL cable from Ebay and was trying to connect the phone with TV. I have connected the power cord and did all the setup as required. The phone was charging, but the TV was just showing 'No Signal' as it was not detecting the phone. The adapter looks like a Chinese import at 8$. I tried many suggestion as people have posted here including the connection order of TV, Phone etc and but with no luck. Can someone please help me out here? GNexus is not officially launched in India, but S2 is. So do you think buying the original Samsung S2 adapter will work for Nexus? Thanks in advance!

I have no luck with MHL on this phone. Broken on 99% if not 100% of custom ROM and kernels. Every time I sought support for it I was just told to "use stock ROM and kernel"
Even on doing that my screen glitches and boom. Reboot. Bootloops until I unplug it. I wish you good luck and if you figure out how to get it working, shoot me a pm

Going to buy the Nyko Playpad? Here is something you should know.

Hello people, i'm going to tell you something you should know if you are going to buy the Nyko Playpad.
(I'm not trying to discurage you from buying the controller i'm only gonna give you guys some info. Very good info.)
(Also, if i posted this in the wrong place, sorry, i'm new here.)
Anyway, what i was going to tell you is something that happend to me. I bought the controller to use it with my HTC Evo View 4G Tablet.
The controller claims to be compatible with any Android device, as long as it has a version of 3.0 and up, BUT, it won't work on ALL devices. (A guy from Technical Support told me this.)
So my problem is that I am able to pair the control and the tablet, but aren't able to establish a succesfull connection, after pairing the controller, they don't connect like they are suposed to, insted, the light on the controller goes back to flashing slow, I made sure everything was correct, folowed the instructions sevral times, but no luck. Clicking on the device from the list of devices wont work eather, i only get a message saying to press any key on the KEYBOARD to reconnect; pressed the hell out of the buttons sevral times and they still don't connect.
Later on this day today, i call technical support but they wernt much of help, all they told me was that not all devices are compatible, and to try to reset the controller that there is a button to do so and then to try again. I fond the pin hole but theres no botton, so there is no reset botton, nor does it say anywhare how to do so. (the hole doesn't even say "reset" like most holes.
The controller is not defective, i tried it on my friends Galaxy Tab 2 and it worked with no problem at all, it also works perfectly with my iPod 4g.
So what i'm trying to tell you is to do some background research to see if your device will be compatible, and for gods sake, make sure you are on Android 3.0 or above, some people don't even see that. (I forgot to check so myself.)
Here is a list of devices i tried and if they worked or not and a reason:
Verizon Galaxy Tab 7" (Galaxy Tab 1): Not working. Reason: Below Android 3.0
HTC Evo 4G: Not working. Reason: Below Android 3.0
Galaxy Tab 2: Working Perfectly.
iPod 4th Generation (Running IOS 6.1.3 Jailbroken): Works perfectly in iCade mode.
HTC Evo View 4G: Not working: Reason: Pairs but doesn't connect. (Yes I made sure it was running above 3.0, and my tablet is running on 3.1.2)
LG Optimus L9: Not working. Reason: Pairs but doesn't connect. (Didn't check what Android version it was running on, my friend took it away from me befor i could check.)
I also know that it works perfectly on the Galaxy Note II.
Again, im not trying to discurage you from buying it, its one hell of a good controller, only thing is that its kind of small, but you eventually get used to it after the first day.
It would be nice to have a list of comatible devices on their website, or somewhere, in fact, if there is non, we should all make one by saying which device they tried and if it worked or not.
One last thing, if you guys know how to make it work on the HTC Evo View 4G Tablet, please tell me, perferably something not requireing root, I've Googled to death and even made an account here for help and i got no reply... Or at least how to reset the controller.
Hope this was helpful to you people who want to buy the controller, if i made you change your mind about the controller, sorry, but this has to be somewhere to be found and known about. Thanks for taking your time reading this, and if you decide to help on my little connection problem, also thanks.

I don't know, i.don't have an Ouya, but it is Android Powerd if there is a way for them to connect then it might, but honestly, i've never bother to see what the Ouya is cpable of...

I know this thread is kinda old, but I just got one and am having trouble connecting. There is a little pinhole and a button down inside of it. You have to push straight down and you'll be able to feel it.

Whoa sorry for the year late reply, but i actually tried that pinhole thing and didn't fix it, i figured it was just my ex HTC tablet that was not compatible... so i guess just because it was in the 3.0+ or whatever, it doesnt really meen it will work, to this day, i gave the tablet to my little neice, and its still not compatible lol... but i have a Tab 4 7.0 and a Note 2 i use it with cx

Need help. LG G4 Miracast can't connect to Sony BDP-S5200 Blu-ray player.

I understand that this forum is for advanced users, and mainly about rooting and development, but I have tried everything and everywhere else to find an answer. I've spent hours on the phone with Verizon tech support, Sony, and LG Tech Support (totally useless). I feel that the folks here are more savvy on tech issues like this, and more likely to figure out a solution.
Soooooo, here is my issue:
I have an LG G4 running Android 5.1 and a Sony BDP-S5200 3D Blu-ray player (2015 Model). I live in the boondocks, with no cable or DSL for internet. Basically, my phone is my internet. I have been using a Droid Ultra for months to perform screen mirroring so that I can watch my phone apps (Crackle, Hulu, etc) on my big screen.
A week ago, I upgraded my cell phone from the Droid Ultra to a new LG G4. Since upgrading, I have not been able to use miracast. I turn on the "Screen mirroring" on my Blu-ray player, then go to my phone and turn on miracast. G4 searches and finds the Blu-ray, I tap on it to start, and it shows on both the phone and the Blu-ray that it is connecting. After about 30 seconds or so of watching the "connecting" dialogue, I get a message on the TV screen stating "Communications with Wi-Fi compatible device was disconnected". It won't connect at all, meaning the connection is never established, so it is not connecting and then dropping the connection. I never see the phone screen on my TV.
I have reset the Blu-ray player to factory defaults, and still cannot connect. I installed the software update to the blu-ray and tried again.... no luck. I even took the phone back to Verizon and got another new G4 phone, thinking maybe my phone was defective. Still doesn't work out of the box. Installed the update to the phone but no luck with Miracast.
It worked with my Motorola Droid, as well as my friends LG G3. Does anyone out there have a G4 phone and a BDP-S5200 blu-ray that works with Miracast?
I'd really need this to work so I can watch my shows. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have exact same issue. Same 2015 Sony Blu Ray device, same LG G4 phone. It worked fabulously with my Note 2. I moved to boondocks with no internet. I had to upgrade phone to a newer phone with LTE. I was told the phone would work with screen mirroring. eeeehh NOPE. I've researched and basically a bunch of guys got together, decided to come out with newer version that would force us to buy these dongles so we can get connected again. Greedy bastages. I'm very upset and disappointed.
I'm still looking for ways to do this without having to buy something. It was working before so why mess with something that wasn't broken. Oh that's right. Profit.
Good luck.

Anyone figure out a fix? Sprint G4 works fine stock, but doesent work when rooted or on Ultra Pop.

Same here. My LG G2 was working perfectly with my Sony BDP-S5200. I have a new LG G4 (AT&T) and I can't make it connect.

Any hope for my SM-T320?

As tradition demands, i must start by saying: sry for bad english, will do my best...
I have this great tab since 2014, helped me a lot in my college and a little after. It had seen little use in the last years, i had installed a custom room a while ago (dont remember wich one)
Last year i used it a little mainly as a second screen for my PC, but after a while i started seeing screen flickering problems and restarting loops, now it restarts at the samsung logo screen
Today i tried to bring it back to life with no sucess, so decided to post it here.
Vídeo of the problem i have
i was thinking about a problem with the screen, but it makes no sense, since i have no flickering on the warning screen or recovery screen
Video of the Warning screen and recovery mode screen without flickering, even if i wait a long time i see no flickering or restart.
I decided to flash the original rom using ODIN, it was a sucessful procedure, here is the video of the tablet screen during procedure, but when it completed it restarted with the same problem
I have never opened it, never changes screen or battery. I think it could be something to do with the program for using the tablet as second screen for PC, but not sure.
Any sugestion about what to do? any hope?
I apreciate any help, since i cant buy a new tablet and would be a shame for it to become tech junk.

@kubnivel does it have the same problem when fully loaded or connected to the charger?
I think my T325 was flickering as well before I changed the battery.
That is a very easy process to do.
Now it's running perfectly well on LOS18.1.

@bmwdroid Thx for the reply. I had already tested with the tablet conected to the charger, but not on 100% charge, so i left it charging overnight and turned it on this morning while it was still connected, it finnaly made it past the samsung logo screen, but i was in hurry and couldn´t test it any longer. Gonna try it tomorrow and post it here.
Working with a 100% charge while connected to the charger is a sign that it may be a problem with the battery?

Indeed.
Would be a sign for changing the battery for me.
The low price for a replacement is worth a try imo.

Well, that isn't to hard to do.
You either need a Windows PC Odin or Linux with Heimdall (which I think works on Mac as well).
Here is the link to the Q ROM by @Valera1978 which imho is the best ever published for our devices.
The procedure was described for S4 brilliantly by @Retrial here.
If you need further help just send me a PM.
Although you gotta find first, if you will have to update the bootloader first.
My T325 came from 5.0.2 had it wasn't neccessary but for 4.4 idk.
