Help HTC EVO out to TV HDMI cable doesn't work

I finally got my HDMI cable to watch my videos on TV from my EVO...

I plugged it in and NOTHING... Took it to the Sprint tech, they changed my setting to Debugging Off.. I rushed home... plugged it in and NOTHING?
are there any other setting to get it going??


older thread but...

I called a Sprint store today and said that the Shift is not hdmi cable capable. LAME.

I hope she was just misinformed...

Dang… I was really hoping for more information on this topic.

I just received an HDMI cable for my EVO 4G. With the TV and phone off, I connected the cable, turned them on and selected videos in different formats.

No video was displayed on the TV, using either the default Video player or RockPlayer Lite. I know that the cable is at least partially good as the TV displays a different message when the cable is connected that it does when disconnected.

From what I have read, there are no settings on the phone to activate HDMI output; the app either uses it or it doesn’t.


I have tried MKV, M4V and MP4 files with no difference.
What, if anything, can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff
