so i have a problem with the hdmi port, i dropped my droid razr hd into some soda and it was a bit messed up. the touch screen was not picking up any touch input so i left it in a bag of rice behind my tv ( for some warmth) overnight and the next morning the screen worked but everything was in the landscape position, and at this point i was on ota jb 4.1.1. i decided to use the droid utility to flash back to ics 4.0.4 and still everything was in landscape, when the phone boots the boot animation is portrait but when its to where you can interact with the phone its landscape. i fiddled with the settings in display, when i unchecked hdmi and auto rotate everything went back to normal and the screen even rotates when its supposed to. however when i ota update back to jb there is no disable hdmi option and turning off and on auto rotate does nothing. my question is does anyone know where the "drivers" are for the hdmi port? i would like to disable these and see if i can get back onto jb.

I am having a similar problem.  Currently on Eclipse 4.2.2.  Would like to stay on it and disable the HDMI port hardware.  Any thoughts on whether that is possible?

It sounds more to me like the device believes you have an HDMI cable in.  I would turn your device off then clean out the HDMI port carefully with something like alcohol and a small brush or lint free paper folded tightly.  Don't pour the alcohol in obviously and let it evaporate completely before turning on again.

agree, the phone thinks a cable is plugged in. but in my case I am fairly certain something is electrically fried with my HDMI port. I'll try cleaning it again, but hoping someone has a solution to add the HDMI function back to display settings in 4.1+

Do you have an hdmi cable?  Try putting it in and out and see if it clears it as well.  You said it was soda, so I would bet you got some sticky stuff down in there that is bridging the tabs,.

Or you could do like I did..... take the phone apart and remove the HDMI port alltogether and put a "blob" of silicone over the connections as not to short anything out :) .... voilĂ  no more HDMI problems..... ever LOL

If one don't use the HDMI port for anything (like me) might as well be gone.... LOL .... but it actually worked out good because I was able to replace a damaged HDMI port on a friends phone with it :):)
