Enable Vega HDMI?

[Guest CrArC]

Another hitherto unasked question it seems! Does anything need to be done to activate HDMI on the Vega when using the Modaco ROM?

I've tested with a Samsung telly and a desktop monitor, but both report no signal down the HDMI cables. Is it only available on the stock ROM or something?

No problems with mine using modaco rom but I found you must turn off the tv and then switch back on for it to work. Also check your hd cable to see if that works.

Hope this helps.

I just plugged mine in and it works. Something may be wrong with yours.

You, sir, are a genius. I'm not sure why power cycling the TV was a necessary step, but it certainly worked. Thanks! Now to test on the monitor...

Probably HDCP related. Some tvs don't like having what's plugged into them change while they're on.

Glad I read this. Thanks guys. Was going to try mine tomorrow and didn't anticipate any problems but now know what to look for!

[Guest CrArC]

Really make sure the connector is fully inserted as well, and avoid trapping the port cover between the cable housing and the case - I found it needs to be pushed as far as it will go to work.

I can't get audio to work on sony bravia but works fine on a new lg tv i just bought. Not a cable problem, seems to be sonys are a bit particular.

Anyone working on a bravia?

[Guest CrArC]

There is a confirmed issue with the Sony tellies, I've read that on a few sites around the interwebs.

[Guest rebeldx]

my issue was although my hdmi cables work on alla my gadgets, on the vega only 1 worked, the solution has already been mentioned, the hdmi connectors of the cables must of been slightly thicker on the cases than the 1 that worked ....... even though there didn't appear 2 be any size differences, trial n error prevailed :D

Seems to work fine on my Sony Bravia KDL-40EX503. That was pretty much straight out of the box with 1.09 and the extras to get Market going.

My Vega doesn't work with an HDMI cable when its on the docking station....which is annoying.

I'm assuming that it works off the dock which really would be a bummer as i fancied getting a dock :unsure:

[Guest paulmartin]

Yes - sorry. To clarify the side HDMI slot doesn't work when the device is mounted on the dock. Obviously the rear one on the dock itself does work.

Ok thanks thats not so bad for me then :unsure:

Thanks, that answers another question (not from me, although I was going to test it) on whether you could feed two separate HDMI outputs, one from the tab and one from the dock. It seems not then.
