HDMI

[Chorizoman]

Why When I Connect The Micro HDMI Cable on the Evo it Freezes My Evo And I have to reset my phone by taking out the battery in the back.... Am i doing something wrong?

 

[storino03]

its your tv

 

[JERAVICIOUS]

what kind of cable did you get and what kind of tv do you have?

 

[Chorizoman]

i have a Plasma insignia 1080p 65 inch

 

[Chorizoman]

if its my t.v im taking it back to best buy

 

[storino03]

haha, take it back. I hear Bravias are good

 

[Chorizoman]

thanks bro yeah im taking it back tomorrow morning.. man and the picture is really good on this tv...lol... Thanks bro i will come back home with a Sony Bravia

your tv needs to sport the latest hdmi technology....i believe your tv must have hdmi version 1.4 ports to play nice with the evo.

That really doesn't sound right.

got the bravia

i received the bravia television.. and my phone still freezes up .. it my evo no good... or do i have to set up some special settings to get the picture on to the tv.?

 

[jmeitz]

its your hdmi cable. had the same issue where it would freeze my evo as well. bought my from amzer and bought my second one on ebay and it worked perfect. I really doubt your tv would lock up your phone. you tv just needs to support 1.3.

 

[Chorizoman]

thanks alot i will make sure i will buy another micro hdmi

 

[storino03]

STORY sounds weird. Did you actually exchAnge your tv for a different model?

 

[Chorizoman]

yeah i had a insignia tv and i took it back to best buy and got me a sony bravia but when i hooked up my micro hdmi it freezes up my phone but someone told me to change my hdmi cable... The One that i got its a HDMI 1.3 cable so im going to see if i can buy a new hdmi cable

I have a similar problem. But instead of freezing it reboots and hangs on the white htc evo screen. doesnt matter what tv or no tv what so ever. as soon as it goes in it fails. haha i know thats what she said

Guys... Please stop recommending the wrong thing... Unless you attempted to connect the evo to another tv and it worked, the fault is obviously on the evo. If the evo freezes every time you connect an hdmi, then it is your device, not the tv. It can't be the tv. The evo is the driver of the software to be able to use the hdmi connection. Exchange your device. That's what I recommend.

Take your Evo and the cable to Best Buy before you haul a $1500 tv home to test it.

I can't believe you brought that tv back. I really hope people with the same issue don't just land on that thread and run before reading our responses.

It's not the tv.

However, you should get a certified electrician to check out your house. If there are problems, you may want to call your title insurance company and seek a refund.

I also heard this problem is ONLY on the west coast. The power grid on the east coast is a TON better.

I have never given advice on the EVO that was incorrect!

This is my first bit of advice on the EVO.

Bringing this one back from the dead (search people! SEARCH!)

Lol anyway... Just got mine in the mail from MonoPrice. Of course, as I expected nothing works. I plugged it in to both the tv and Evo. Opened up YouTube and the TV still says no signal... tried opening the gallery, same deal. Me = annoyed... Any ideas?
