Tommy Brown Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Samsung phone with USB-C connection. HDMI tv connection I have just received the cable and plugged it in to both devices, but I am getting "no signal". Tried it now on 2 tvs. I am getting a similar cable later for my tablet (micro-b) connection. What the hell is wrong?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will set it all up again. Its another powered device. Liked the idea of a cable from one device to another, but hey-ho. Still waiting on another cable to come today for my tablet, most likely the same outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's enabled the cable might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
