Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing Graveyard :: Eideticker, defect)

[ Forking this from bug 1003507 ]

The galaxy nexus currently isn't working with Eideticker, we seem to be having trouble getting the machine it was connected to (eideticker-3) recognizing its HDMI signal.

I think we should try connecting the galaxy nexus to eideticker-1 (which we know works), to make sure the problem isn't with the capture card (or its configuration). Could you try this retornam? Let me know once you do and I can test to see if we're capturing the HDMI signal from there.

We took down the LG phone connected to eideticker-1 and replace it with the Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.3. We were not able to capture an HDMI signal. Wlach thinks the upgrade to Android 4.3 broke HDMI output. I'm going to try  flashing the phone with an older Android build when I'm free later today and try again

Ok, it sounds like the tentative solution is to use a camera-based setup with the galaxy nexus, since we've had such terrible trouble with HDMI. I'm going to get a camera + chassis working here in Montreal and then fedex it to Mountain View for use in the QA lab.

Ok, now I'm in Toronto. I'm working on getting it working here, with HDMI if I can since the network seems reliable enough here.

We've had a galaxy nexus in Toronto generating results for a while now. Going to add another one soon.
