Plugging in HDMI cable doesn't activate app launch options

[dojohnso]

Hey all, when I plug in my HDMI cable into my phone and monitor, I see the floating Motorola logo on my screen (like a screen saver), but nothing happens on my phone. It doesn't display the App Launcher I see in tutorials that allows me to select Mirror Mode. Is there a way to manually activate mirror mode?

If you drag your notification bar down you should see the hdmi connection on there, just like when plug a usb in to the PC

Hmm I would've thought so, but it's not there. I'm going to try the cable on my TV and see if maybe it's the monitor. Would that even make sense?
