HDMI Connection No Longer Works
 
I cannot get HDMI connection to work no matter what I do. I purchased this HDMI cable here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Micro-HDMI-Type-...item27b31eee06

It used to work flawlessly using OMJ's rom and somehow stopped working through flashing different roms. I thought it was a rom issue so I switched back to OMJ's and the problem persists.

Sometime I get sound but I no longer get video. OMJ purchased the same HDMI cable.

Bad cable possibly, my buddy and I bought the same hdmi cable for our tv's, mine worked his was garbage. I really think HDMI cables are just junk.

My suggestion would be to flash back to stock and see if your phone persists, if so, then get it exchanged. Be sure you are wiping/clearing correctly...

There is a known issue with cheap cables. They work one minute and don't the next. I freaked out when mine stopped working too, I thought it was my phone. I bought the offical one from a Sprint store, tested it and had no issues. Good luck!

Just out of curiosity, I went and bought the one from sprint and it still isn't working.

What do you mean by wiping/cleaning correctly? I am going to try reverting to stock and see what happens.

Curiosity, can you bring a rooted phone to sprint for repair without voiding your warranty?

P.S. Just a side note, I called sprint on the issue and was told they do not the HDMI actually working. All they support is that it connects. I asked what exactly does "it connects" meant and was told a bunch of stuff that I don't even remember that really had nothing to do with answering the question. However, one thing was made sure to me was that Sprint does not support problem with the HDMI connection not working.

I bought the official htc hdmi cables from Radio Shack for $30 and they work flawlessly.

They came in RS packaging but when I opened them it had htc branding on the cables.

At this point, I am not sure that the HDMI cable is the issue.
