Nokia N8 HDMI issue.

Hi, 3 months ago I bought an N8(American version) from newegg.ca.. I've had no problems until now.. well since i dont have an HDTV i went to my cousin's house to try it out on his 50" samsung.. i connected it using a HDMI cable i got for free with my shaw-on-demand box.. after i connected it the TV kept looking for signal (yes i was on the right HD channel) and my n8 didn't say HDMI on the top right hand corner.. so any ideas on what i should do guys?? is it cause i used the cable company's HDMI cable?? and if I connect the HDMI adapter shouldn't there be a HDMI logo on top right corner of the n8 screen?? if so is my output broken?? please help i dont have any warantee cause i live in canada and bought from newegg (or do i?)

Welcome to the forum.
First thing to check is the TV-out settings.
Press Menu > Settings > Phone > Accessories > TV-out.
Now default profile should be set to Active profile. TV aspect ratio > Widescreen.
TV System set to NTSC or PAL ( that depends on what system is in use in Canada. )
Flicker filter set to On or Off ( see what each does for preference ).
I know the USA uses NTFS so is probably set as the default, and if Canada uses the PAL system
then that's were the problem lies.
I have read on this forum that the warranty only applies in the country the phone was bought from,
but I don't know if that applies to phones bought through an internet retailer. Best to check with newegg
for info on that.
Hope that helps.

1080p apple tv hdmi issues in movie info page.

Hi, anyone have an issue with the latest 1080p device and hdmi issues in the movie previews? With the new hardware I have an issue when I go to a movie preview; the image shifts green and then my tv loses sync. Thanks

It's unlikely to be a compatibility issue with 2 different TV sets, but not impossible - did you use a different HDMI cable with each - if not I'd swap HDMI cables or inputs.
Frankly if it's new I'd just get it exchanged in case you have a lemon - consider compatibility issues if a replacement did the same.

S6000 HDMI Issue

Back in January I bought an S6000 tablet from Best Buy, and I've been extremely pleased with it. However, when I try to plug it into the TV using micro HDMI, the HDMI notification repeatedly pops up and disappears on the tablet, but nothing shows up on the TV. I attempted to phone customer service, but they were of little help. There was a thread a few months ago about a similar problem, but I was unsure if support was available in North America. I really don't wanna be stuck with a defective tablet, so help is great appreciated.

Hello grundo1561
I apologize for the display problems you are experiencing. There is support available for Idea products. I have posted two links, hope you find them helpful,

Possible 3.01 HDMI issue

For several versions Video settings have had HDMI options including along the lines of Auto, YCrCb (or other variant), RGB High, RGB Low.
On my 2.0+ AppleTVs I found RGB low to be preferable giving a less contrasty picture, and on 2.0+ software changing this settingstill works.
Now on my 'new' 3.01 refurb that arrived today the High/Low settings make no difference and look identical.
Can anyone actually adjust High/Low and see an on-screen difference in 3.01?

I've always wondered if some sort of HDMI issue at the time of software update doesn't cause some files not to be overwritten properly. If possible I've undertaken software updates while connected by component. +(in the thought that it might not be so much the particular hardware combination but the state of the software at upgrade)+

Screen problems - black screen and lock-up (plus HDMI issues)

Hi, I'm not sure if these are related to the same fundamental issue, but they are both serious problems that need resolution.
I have a new mid-2012 MBPretina. I am on all the latest updates (10.8.2).
The first problem is the most recent, and the most serious problem. Since I updated the Java a couple of days ago I've been experiencing random black screens and lock-ups. Essentially, what happens is that sometimes when I perform an action (opening an app, clicking a link on a webpage, performing other kinds of in-app actions, etc.) the computer screen will go black. About half the time I can, through my own memory, try keyboard combinations to quit or force quit the most recently used app (the one where the action was just performed), and I will get some glimpse of the underlying apps, while the menubar and other areas will remain black until I move a window on top of the black space. Sometimes no key combinations work and I am forced to perform a hard restart with the power button. This is a serious issue, obviously, since I will lose current work/progress in my apps. I'm not sure if this is because of the new Java update, or has to do with something else, but it started happening shortly thereafter, over the last 2 days. I work most of my waking day on my laptop, and this "black screen of death" has happened about 5 or 6 times a day.
The second problem I have been experiencing since I starting using my MBPr with external HDMI displays in August/September. The problem is that I will plug the MBPr into an HDMI display, the screen will temporaliy go black, and then bring me to the login screen (as if it's crashing, albeit softly). This happens about 1 out of 4 times nowadays.
How can I fix these problems, especially the first?

UPDATE:
Clearly there's a problem because a third of the way through a clean reinstallation from scratch it black screened again. Hmmmm.
Now this is not good. Problem is I can't rule out potential updates from Apple that might have caused this either.
The search for solutions continues.

Mid 2010 Macbook pro - Mini DisplayPort to Hdmi issues

Hi there! I'm having some issues connecting my mid 2010 Macbook pro to my 32" Toshiba LED TV.
I'm running OS X Version 10.8.2 , as mentioned before, on the mid 2010 Macbook pro.
The issue which I have, is that when I connect my Hdmi cable to my minidisplay port through the adapter, I keep getting a blue screen popping up.
I am using a Startech MiniDisplay to HDMI Adapter Converter and ION 6FT Flat HDMI CABLE.
anyone with suggestions on help?

I had issues with getting my MBP to work with my Vizio XVT323SV via the RGB port. What worked for me was downloading SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com/indexSRX4.html) and setting up a custom 1920x1080 resolution using the values found in the Vizio user guide. Works like a champ now. Best shareware investment I ever made. Now I can watch my EyeTV recordings at full HD resolution.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Sidebar: I also bought the Griffin mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable, but I can't get any signal at all via that connection. The Mac doesn't see the TV and the TV doesn't see a signal. Very frustrating. My RGB connection is good enough but I bet HDMI would be even better.

Nokia Lumia 900 Issues and Questions

I bought my Nokia Lumia 900 last March and it's running pretty well. It's fast and reliable, although I have some issues regarding it.
1. When I'm in a conversation and I receive multiple text messages, I need to press the back button as many times as the number of messages I have received so I can go back to the menu. Not a big problem at all, but it can be quite annoying once you've already received a lot of messages and you try to go back to the messages screen.
2. I don't have the compass. When I try to download apps, it says my phone is missing some features that the app requires, which happens to be the compass. The phone's specification (on the Nokia website) says that the phone has a magnetometer, GSMArena and Wikipedia both say that the Lumia 900 has a compass.
3. It doesn't have Xbox Live. It's also included in the specifications that the Lumia 900 has Xbox Live, but when I go to Games, I only get Collection.
Issue number 1 isn't that much of a problem, but issues 2 and 3 are very disappointing. I tried searching for ways to fix these and I found an article saying that a reset will fix the compass and Xbox Live issue. I did that, and when I opened it, I saw Xbox Live on my Start Screen but when I activated my Wi-Fi, it changed to Games and still no Xbox Live there. The compass problem isn't fixed either. To those who experienced the same issues, can you please tell me how you fixed it? Thanks in advance.
Also, about the 7.8 update, I've been waiting for it for some time now and it's now available on my unit. Is it safe to install? I'm worried that if it fails it might make my phone useless. How long does it usually take?

Hi Ronio9riku,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
1. Once you received multiple text messages, can you not open one message and then press the Start button to go back to the live tiles and select Messaging again to go to the next message?
2. The phone supports compass (magnetometer). Have you tried to use the On-Device Diagnostic Tools to calibrate the Magnetomer? You can open the dialer and then input ##634#. Select Magnetometer and then calibrate the phone. Make sure that the location of the phone is On under Settings!
3. The phone supports Xbox Live which you can access on the phone by selecting Games on the start screen or by going to the App List. However, Xbox Live is not available to all countries/regions. You can visit the link for the countries/regions supported: www.xbox.com/LIVE/countries.
It's safe and recommended to update the phone whenever there is a software update offered. This improves the perfomance of the phone so why not connect your phone to your computer, open the Zune and install the update?
For more information, see this link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp7/update-central
If you're asking how long the update takes, it is usually 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Nokia lumia 710 issue before and after send to rep...

need some advice from the forumer/nokia.
Just bought about a month but my lumia 710 already had an issue 3 days after bought it.
had send it to nokia care center at the 1st time due to battery drainage issue but the profesionalism of the staff was too bad.not satisfied with their attitude also.
had told them about another issue like zune can't detect my phone, sometimes can't heard what the people or someone want to said to me when i'm receiving the call. when call out a friend/somebody, they can't hear my voice. didn't receive any call in 1 day but after rebooting the phone got to many missed call log. had been told by my friend that they can't reach me when they call me and all the call that day has been forwarded to voice mail box.
didn't know why it happened. had been send back to authorised reseller about this issue and my phone has been handed to nokia care center by them.
after return from the nokia care center, had ask the reseller what is the root cause , the reseller said the nokia care center just downgraded my firmware/os back to 7.5 mango and said the problem solve. just use it back but my phone issue still arising. when receive/make a call the batteries drainage issue still exist. just talk about 5 minutes and the batteries was shown too be deplete but the main point is the batteries was shown 90% before make/receive a call. ?????????????.
should i returned it back to nokia care center or get back my .....
are they/the tech expert at nokia care center was too lazy or or lack of knowledge or not knowing of the level of troubleshooting method how to solve the problem and didn't know the root cause issue. its about a month send it to nokia care center but nothing/useless due to the issue/problem was still there.
check at the website support using the emei number, the repair/emei status didn't exist.

1st: When i want to wake up my phone it lags, getting a black screen like 3 a 5 seconds before the lockscreen appears.
I have this same issue with the 1600.3030.8773.12120 firmware as well as the original 7740 firmware.
Funny thing, I tried to call Nokia Care phone support to report this issue and the woman told me it was not a problem and that I should "live with it". The nokia rep refused to submit my error report as she felt that "a delay of a second when turning the screen on is normal, and is actually very fast"
I was outraged that a nokia rep could talk to me in this way and totally dismiss my issue as trivial. I'm really mad and disapointed about this.
I would hope that the Nokia reps on these forums have a bit more tact and will address and help us users with this confirmed issue.
Question for nokia reps: Can this screen lag be fixed in a firmware update?
Thank you.

HP 2159m HDMI issue!!

I have an HP 2159m monitor and over the past weeks have been using it for both my computer (DVI Connection) and my Playstation 3 (HDMI Connection) video outputs. At first everything was fine and working great. Now after about 3 weeks the DVI connection is completely fine but the PS3 to 2159m connection via HDMI cable is not working. When the monitor auto scans it says it's recieving a signal from the PS3 through HDMI and lists is as active but when I switch to this display it is always blank and there is no audio. I have tried setting the monitor to factory defaults, downloading the newest driviers, changing various PS3 settings as well as testing the HDMI cable as well as the HDMI ports of the PS3 and 2159m monitor seperately and both seem to work fine. I have heard of this problem before with o solutions so far. Is there anything that can be recommend for fixing this issue??

Ryan,
Try a monitor reset. It has worked for some with the a PS3. Unplug the monitor and hold down the power button for 30-60 seconds. Now plug the monitor back in and give it a go. Only connect one video cable to the monitor.

VGA to HDMI issue with Toshiba TV

Hi,
I'm having issues connecting an old powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 into a Toshiba TV. I have a DVI to VGA converter from the laptop connected to a VGA to HDMI cable running to the TV's HDMI input. The laptop recognises the television in the display settings but is giving me a blue screen. I've tried restarting, and re plugging in the cables and it just won't work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

You need a DVI to HDMI converter or cable. HDMI uses digital video, which is lost when you go to VGA.

Nokia Lumia 1520 Issue

Hi , I had issues with my new nokia lumia 1520 and the issues are as follows: 1)Touch and display problem and screen flickering and doesnt let me use any app on the phone and even if im trying to unlock my phone, it inputs its own password and locks the phone again. 2)Apps not functions as if i click one app another app opens 3)Phone hangs 4)Phone gets heated up rapidly with usage of camera 5)Music volume control issue as with full volume, the phone is still not loud enough at times 6)Paint behind the phone is pealing off and Customer care people (Marathalli Nokia Care) took the phone and finally says that my screen guard is causing all these issue. whereas i was using this phone for 1.5 month without issues untill i updated it to latest firmware 1028.3562.1402.0001. please provide your views as to what can be done next as this phone is just 1.5month old and I have spent a lot on this phone?

Remove the screen guard and take it back to Nokia Care, so they will not have a stupid excuse to refuse repair.

Nokia C3 - Battery Issue

Hi,
Please I need your support for my probelm with the battery of my mobile Nokia C3. The problem is the battery is not set long and every days need to charge . And the charging is taking long more than 4 hr to full the battery. So i want to know if the mobile having issue with battery or the battery has problem? And I want to know how long the battery stay active with normal use like calling , SMS etc..?
Thanks ,
Homran

Hello,
My battery, since some days, empties himself quickly after a refill of one night, the load only holds then one hour it is necessary to put back it in charge.
I measured the tension of the shipper, it is 7.15V what is a lot for a battery of 3.7V, the tension of the shipper must not pass 5V to emptiness.
What thinks you of it ?
My English is bad, excuse me!

Nokia Belle Browser Issues

Hello Again,
I have just encountered another problem with my Nokia N8 after the update to Belle.
My browser is just horrible - I can hardly see images on it because they are too blurry. My facebook dialogue boxes are too small and the pictures and other information displayed on the websites is extremely blurry and unrecognizable. To be honest, I have no idea how to approach the issue because with Anna I have not encountered such a problem.
Anyone, any solutions to that??
Thanks guys )

Unfortunately, I am not able to at the moment.
Still, let me describe it more properly - basically images are too blurry. For example, the Bing search page comes out with a picture everytime you load Bing. Well, the picture looks way too blurry in the Belle browser. Other example - please see m.facebook.com - the dialogue boxes match the width of the screen. Well, in my case, the dialogue boxes are way too small - they are hardly half of the width of my screen.
Images on facebook do not appear in normal size - rather, they appear as very small, tiny images which cannot be properly reviewed. For example, if you tap on an image to view, it would be almost unrecognizably small and blurry. Text appears to be absolutely fine, no problem with text under the new browser. However, images and dialogue boxes are a real problem.
