HDMI port/ cable COULD FREEZE XBOX ONE?

TeleostHydra709 · Nov 14, 2017

Hi.. My xbox one start freeze a lot randomly. I tried all troubleshooting on the website with no difference until I figured out the HDmI port is the problem of freezing. Or it seems like that. The reason I am saying this when it start freeze I move the
cable slowly inside the port which is obvious is loose and the freeze is gone. My question is how come an HDmI port/cable is reason of freeze the Xbox one.

Connect your Xbox 360 Console to an HDTV or monitor using HDMI Cable

If your Xbox 360 console has an HDMI port, you can easily connect an HDTV or high-definition monitor to your console using the HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable.

Here is how:

First, you need to connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port.

You have to connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input on your HDTV or monitor.

After connecting the cable properly, turn on your TV and console.

If the Xbox Dashboard doesn’t appear, you might need to change the video input setting.

The console automatically uses the default display settings. But you can also change the settings on the console to improve the video display.

Note: All Original Xbox consoles do not have an HDMI port.

Hey there.

It's certainly not normal for the HDMI port to be loose if the cable is plugged in completely. Do you possibly have a different HDMi cable you can test with your Xbox One to see if there's any change?

Hello C0nd1t10nR3D,

How the Xbox One works with being able to control the TV is that the Xbox One has a HDMI In port and a HDMI Out port. If a person had a cable set-top box, they would take the HDMI cable from that and plug it into the HDMI In port on the Xbox One, and then
connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI Out port and connect that to the TV.

In your case, I think it could only work if your TV had both a HDMI Out port and a HDMI In port. If this is the case, which I don't ever think I've heard of a thing for just a TV (I guess it could be possible), then you would go from the TV's HDMI Out port
to the Xbox One's HDMI In port and from the Xbox One's HDMI Out port to the TV's HDMI In port.

I hope I have answered your question!

I would use the HDMI cable that came with the Xbox One,

Third Party cables can be hit or miss depending on there quality,

I connected my X-Box One first generation to the HDMI 1 port using a brand new cable compatible with
HDMI 2.0 and 8K resolution.

8K over HDMI 2.0 is not possible, A cable that can run 8K needs to be HDMI 2.1,

also the OG Xbox One uses HDMI 1.4, both the One S and One X use HDMI 2.0

I believe that, with your Xbox one being HDMI 1.4 it's not forward compatible with your TV HDMI 2.0 ports as to possibly why your low latency mode is grayed out, or it just could be the third party cable your using, best to try out the cable that came with
the Xbox.

Definitely worth trying the VGA cables,as it could be the HDMI port on the Xbox

I Am Agreesiv

Make sure whether or not the problem is the HDMI or the xbox HDMI port. One of the cables could possibly broke. If its the xbox im sorry but there nothing you can really do except get a new one );
