Just like the post says my hdmi works sometimes and most of the time it doesn't. I had it working last night watching nerflix and it just stopped, same thing happened today. I am running a Zone23 Rom and bcblend 02 kernel. The mhl adapter I am using is from T-Mobile. Does this happen to anyone else, is the a solution I can try? I just ordered the htc adapter to try that and I have already switched hdmi cars to see if that was it and it wasn't. Any help I would appreciate.

did you connect the power cable as well?
Yes, I know I didn't mention it but yrs the power cable is attached and working, I guess it was my fault for not clarifying it better, it use to work whenever I plugged it in not it is hit in miss with a mostly miss.

sounds like a loose connection. probablly a faulty hml adaptor.
Also, sometimes when it kind of was acting like it wanted to work it would cut on cut off like someone was flicking a light switch on and off.

Well I ordered a HTC mhl adapter and the same thing happen. So I ended up restoring a rooted stock rom, re-applying all my apps, backing up my new setting, wipeing and re-installing my Zone 2.3.4 ROM and re-applying my new setting and it still didn't work.....LOL
But it now works on my 55 inch vizio but not my 46 inch Sony in my bedroom where I would use it the most.
I don't know what the problem is with the Sony because it use to work flawlessly but now it doesn't even read it. I know its the tv because I have swapped everything else, hdmi cable, charger, and mhl adapter. If anyone knows what may have caused my tv to stop reading my mhl adapters please let me know?

Your TV port probably failed. I know hdmi ports look robust like a usb port but they really aren't.
Well my tv has 5 ports and none of them are working with the mhl adapter but the still work with my DVD player though.

Old thread but I may be able to help others.
I have a generic HML adapter from ebay and I found that you need to connect things in the correct order to make it work reliably. I had the best results following these steps.
1. Connect power to the adapter
2. Connect the adapter to the phone
3. Connect the HDMI cable to the adapter
With the stock rom I found a reboot of the phone between step 2 and 3 sometimes helped but generally it was not needed. With the leedroid rom I using now I've never needed to reboot.
Unfortunately my 52" Samsung LCD (2008) has no audio but my 24" Samsung LED (2011) works perfectly every time. I got audio to work 2x on the 52" but I can't for the life of me figure out how.
Just to further update....
I found a firmware update for my 52" Samsung TV on their website. After applying the update I found the HDMI to slightly more reliable with my audio issues but it still did not correct it 100%. I have audio issues 1 out of 4 times now so by my best guess the TV has to comply with the newer HDMI specs in order to operate with the MHL adapters.
Hopefully this helps someone out there.
Appreciate the tip, so how does one update their tv

ok, so I connect the cable/adaptor to my tv/evo3d and get nothing. I tried the mirror app I had on my og evo and it doesnt work. All i wanna do is watch netflix and youtube on my tv from my phone. Its a factory htc mhl adaptor and I know the hdmi cables are good and the tv works with my ps3 on the same hdmi port it just wont display from the phone. Im rooted and running the gbsense-e3d-deck-0.2 rom. Im thinking im just a noob and cant figure out a setting somewhere? so I come here and ask the almighty gurus for some type of direction, because my head is spinning and I havent found much info on the mhl/evo3d mirroring when searching google, any help is appreciated.
Do you have it plug into an electrical outlet as well? Its has to be plugged to the phone,tv and electricity to work
Along with having power plugged in, I also had to reset the phone for it to connect. Took a while for me to figure that out. Maybe didn't have enough memory available.

Only the stock charger will work. No USB, no 3rd party charger. Remember, stock charger.

Not true. I can run it from the USB on my desktop media center PC next to my 37" LCD.
I want to add, for anyone else having problems or will later. I had a problem with this too once and once I reinstalled the stock transfer app for data transfer it worked again too - if you have the bloat removed. Not exactly sure why but what worked for me.
But I tried USB, twin USB, A/C charger and no good. Only stock charger works for me.

I have an EVO 3D GSM, a Micro USB TO HDMI MHL ADAPTER and a Samsung LE40C750 3DTV LCD but i can not get it working...
i tried the stock wall charger and the one comes with the mhl adapter (both have 1 Amp output)...
The TV recognizes that there is something plugged in but i get no video and no sound... i allways get "No Signal, Please Check the Power and Datacables correctly plugged in..."
Do i have to enable the hdmi output on the evo 3d? is there a special app needed? hmm
EDIT: i also tried it on my hdmi capable LCD Monitor... also "no signal"...
as i read the phone should notify me with: "HDMI video out connected" but i never does
i am using Villian ROM
EDIT2: ok i have tried to install a stockrom: 1. i've made a nandroidbackup before that 2. tried to install a stock rom (but failed) 3. did factory reset in bootloader and restored nandroid backup
4. rebooted the phone and i dont know why... now i can use the MHL adapter and see the EVO screen on my TV !?!?!? but why?
I had the same problem: TV recognized the connection but said check cable.
For me it worked just to restart the phone (stock rom) while connected to the mhl-adapter (not turn off and on, there seems to be a little difference).
Maybe this helps others to save a lot of time for not having to backup the whole configuration.
I'm just received my MHL cable. I plugged everything up the correct way and its not picking up the signal. Is there something I missed? Do I need an app? Could it be the Rom I'm using or the kernel? I need help guys thanks.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
It could be the rom and/or the kernel. What are you running for the rom and what kernel?
Having the same problem but in my case It used to work but suddenly when I connect my phone back to the TV my phone din't pick the cable could it be a damage adapter or it's it another thing
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
I had the same problem. At first, it was that the kernel and ROM I was using didn't support MHL. Make sure you have a working combination.
But eventually- I ended up with stutter, snow, lines across the screen and/or no sound or picture. After much frustration and testing with 2 cables, 2 adapters, 2 TV's and then a new Evo3D in store - it turned out the problem was hardware related. My MHL port must have gone out.
I've since replaced it under insurance - and after 2 tries, got a refurb that seems to work flawlessly *knock on wood*.
I searched up "MHL hdmi" and got a few threads from other phones forums on XDA; half were before our phone came out or the cable was available.
My question is which mhl adapter actually works on our phones (i777)
I've seen a large variety out there; ranging from white to black, 2 cables or 1 cable +inlet for power cable, "samsung" imprinted mhl adapters, and OEM ones.
I've read some distort the phone screen while connected to the tv, others cut off wifi while connected, some OEM can use remotes to operate the phone, while others didn't or OEMs not performing properly.
I've seen generic ones from $6 up, OEM logo'd ones at $6 and OEM packaged ones at $33+
Do we have a specific model/brand sure to work without error? Using TV remote is a plus. I've seen some for sale with wireless mini keyboards (bonus) and that catches my eye

I'm personally just using one random black one I got on ebay, seems to work fine.
I would THINK MHL is a standard, and though some might not function QUITE as well as others, they should all serve their basic purpose.
I haven't seen any that don't require USB power though, mind linking to the one you've found? Maybe link the ones with the Mini Keyboards...? I'm interested.

Does any ics build support mhl yet?

I bought a mhl to hdmi cable I'm new to this I plugged it into my phone and hdmi but got nothing then I also hooked up USB power to it when I did that it showed a input for it on my TV but still no video does this not work with ics?
It works with ics. Try this, plug hdmi cable from tv to adapter plug power cable from wall adapter charger to adapter. Then plug into phone. Also what kind of mhl adapter do you have? I personally went through a few and ended up with getting the samsung one for me it works the best. Others had flaky power adapters or reports of doa. Anyway try again like that if it doesn't work try changing hdmi cables I've seen people have that as their cause as well. Also I can tell you that mhl and blue tooth and wireless work awesome on ics better than gb. I can even use it with a ps3 controller etc..

I don't think it works on AOKP or CM9, without installing an extra app. I've been using it on SHOstock 2 just fine. I think the TW ROMs have the support built in. I know 2.3 MIUI does not support MHL.
It only needs the power adapter if your TV does not support MHL. If your TV is MHL compliant it will send power over the HDMI port and charge your phone. The standard is still new, almost no TVs support it yet. You can still mirror the screen over HDMI with a MHL adapter, but you have to power the adapter. MHL compliant TVs should be able to control the phone through the TV, but because those TVs are as common as unicorns I haven't tested it. With a non MHL compliant TV all it does is accept the input from your phone. You must still navigate on your phone. But, you can use a Bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse to control your phone wirelessly.
I got the cheapest MHL adapter on eBay that shipped free from inside the US. I think I paid ~$7. Its worked fine for me over the past 6 months.

Im running ICS 4.0.3 SHOstock2 v2.2.4 with 3.0.30-cherrypicker kernel on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II i777. I purchased a MENOTEK MHL to HDMI adapter and Im trying to use it with my RCA Plasma TV. I connect the adapter to the HDMI cable then the power cable to the Adapter, and then I connect the adapter to my phone. The tv recognizes that I have the HDMI cable plugged in then the screen goes black. While I have the adapter plugged into the phone, the phone works fine, only there isn't anything being displayed on the screen. I try to launch several video apps, still nothing. The weirdest thing is when I unplug the adapter from my phone, it causes the phone to freeze and I have to pull the battery to restart. Is anyone else having a simular problem and may know of a fix. Ive done a few searches but havent been able to find anything. I appreciate any help that I can get.
I would ask in the SHOstock thread. It worked fine for me, but I switched to AOKP. The last SHOstock I tried MHL was 2.2 I think. I would guess its a kernel thing. Maybe try another kernel?

Thanx! I will definitely look into a different kernal. The only problem with asking on the SHOstock thread is my account is new. I don't have enough posts to comment on that thread.

it should work with shostock I've been using it with phone bricker works good. The only roms that won't work at least as of now is aosp aokp roms cause our bases are derived from Samsung bases international or otherwise which contain it. A long time ago entropy told me something along the lines of the mhl code being proprietary closed source which is why cm9 etc doesn't have it. But with ics and the huge user base if anyone is talented enough to get that working they will.

Also for the TV remote in the other post is correct at least what I'm pretty sure your talking about. Cause a friend of mine just got one of those new voice/gesture etc Sammy TVs and they have mhl,dlna etc. Honestly at that point you aren't concerned with a phone remote when you can just use gestures and voice

I updated to the most recent update ShoStock 2.2.6 but I still seem to have the same problem. The television screen is blue before I Connect the phone. Once the phone is connected the screen goes black but doesnt mirror the phone screen. When I unplug the phone from the adapter it become unresponsive and I have to reboot. I starting to think the adapter may be DOA

I'm with you in the ShoStock MHL woes. Some say it works, it hasn't been working for me. The adapter is not DOA if the screen is going black and changing on the TV. My TV (Samsung) recognizes there is an MHL device connected with AnyNet+ but the screen goes black as well. The adapter worked on GB Roms, Unnamed/Unoriginal to be exact. Will try out PhoneBricker.

The most common issue people have is not supplying sufficient power to the adapter. You need to provide external power to the adapter itself. With the box type, there's generally a microusb port on the side for your phone's wall charger. Additionally, some people report the order of connection matters. Try different permutations of connecting adapter power, hdmi to TV, and the phone connection. Finally, some Samsung MHL adapters use a slightly different microusb connector. I'm not sure that even fits in other phones.
Some newer TV's have HDMI ports designated MHL that work with regular microusb to hdmi cables, no external power supply needed, because the port provides 500ma. Check the back of your TV, you might get lucky. It is usually the last HDMI port and will be labeled MHL.
