Nexus 10 no HDMI output to tv

**xxLiquidX** · 11-27-2012, 06:58 PM

As stated I tried connecting my n10 to my TV and all I got was a black screen. Nothing changed on the n10 either if there was supposed to have something happen. I'm on 4.2 also that updated today for me.

So is there something that I need to do?

Mine works. Make sure you have the correct HDMI input on the TV.

I have the same problem no picture, but sound works fine. Cable is good works with my wife's droid 3. Any settings that need to be changed or is the connection on the nexus 10 bad?

I started similar thread last week. Turns out it was a simple fix. See if these tips help.

(Not being a ****** but search forum before starting a thread so everyone's problems that are similar can be consolidated)

I'm used to forums and did search using key words that may have worked but I did see that thread bit with it stating audio in the title I skipped it.

I'll have to check out the new tablet with my current cable and if nothing I'll try the new cables.

Cool. If you haven't (not sure if you did) try a restart of device. It fixed my problem.

**xxLiquidX** · 11-30-2012, 03:52 PM

Unfortunately it didn't fix it from when I did reset it.

Has there been users using a hdmi cable that works on 1 device but not another?

Replacement tablet has the same response. I'm going to try a better [new] cable.

I had an issues with not getting any audio when connected at first, when the n10 is plugged in the volume controls no longer work on the tablet, just from the tv. i unplugged the n10 then made sure the volume wasnt on mute(it wasnt), reconnected and it worked fine from that point.

I ordered in the blue rigger 10 ft cable and it fixed my issue, I guess this tablet is picky about cables.

Same issue here... I'm thinking Samsung is getting freaky about cords. I can't use the charge cable to charge my razr either

I have been trying to connect my Nexus 10 to the to my Samsung TV via the HDMI port with no success. The screen just comes up blank and says I need to check the setting on the source device. I called PlayStore support and they said that it was not possible at this point, but that an update would be coming in a few weeks. Has anyone else heard of this update?

**bobin704** · 01-01-2013, 05:37 PM

Im having kind of the same issue...with mine, it plays fine on the tablet, but when i plug in the hdmi cord it looks like it starts to buffer..i unplug it and it plays on the tablet, but just can't get it to play on the tv via the HDMI!

I have the same issue. Works fine on the tablet but when I connect to the TV it starts to buffer but never plays. Unplug from the TV and play resumes on my N10??? Results are the same in my Vizio and LG TV's.

Glad im not the only one...let's see who can help us!

Did you mention anything about the brand TV you are using?

I use my N10 connected to my 46' Samsung pretty much constantly. Everything works perfectly. I use it with a bluetooth keyboard and usb wifi mouse from my couch. I'm on version 4.2.1 using a motorola branded HDMI cable I had for my Xoom.

I purchased a new cable and everything works fine now on my Samsung TV.

I have exactly same issue. Got n10 as gift, but this is frustrating as even my first gen iPad works fine on my hd tv. iPad shows me 720p when connected to tv. N10 shows 480p. Tried even blue rigger 10 ft wire as posted in one of the forum post. Funny thing is Netflix works perfectly fine with same wire and same n10 and same HDTV. Did you find a solution to this yet?

**xxLiquidX** · 01-03-2013, 03:58 AM

What brand of cable are you using?

I tested my cable for the first time last night. Everything seemed to work fine, though I admit I am connecting to my TV through an AV reciever.

Rereading this thread it occured to me I tested my N10 without the power cord attatched. Those of you experiancing this problem, are you observing this with your tabs plugged in, unplugged or both?

**excalibur2811** · 01-12-2013, 04:35 PM

My problem is that when using YouTube, for some reason the "expand to full screen" option disappears from the Tablet.
In other words I can see the tablet mirrored on the TV and can scroll to a song video and play it, BUT can't expand the video to fill the screen, because the button to allow this disaaapears from the tablet!
After some experimentation I found that this would work: find the song video I want to play, use TV remote to turn off TV (the tablet then immediately offers the full screen option again!), press on the full screen option, pause the video, turn on the TV and voila - it plays in full screen on the TV.
But obviously this is not very workable, so I was wondering - Am I the only person who has to go through this each time, or is there some fix I should know about?
Thanks in advance for any help.
