So, i bought a tmobile mhl adapter plug, and i attempted to plug the microusb, and hdmi cord into the adapter. when i do, my phone tells me HDMI connected- play a video or a slideshow to display, blah blah. anyway, nothing shows up on my tv, it states weak or no signal.
I'm on the latest synergy sense rom.
When i play a video with like youtube, it resizes it to 4:3 instead of 16:9 on the evo 3d, and the sound stops playing but it doesn't display on the tv :/
anyone have any fixes? does synergy not support hdmi out?
Just make sure you have the charger plugged in to the adapter. Do a reboot in your phone and try again.
Had the same prob with leedroid gsm.
See how you get on.
did you plug power cable into the HML adaptor as well?
yep
Yep, everything is plugged in properly, it tells me on my 3d that HDMI is connected. my sound turns off, but nothing displays on my plasma :/ the hdmi cord works since i use it with my apple tv 2, and obviously the adapter works since the evo 3d detects when an hdmi cord and power cable are connected. just wondering if it's the rom. i'm going to try and reinstall the rom to see if it fixes.
did you select the correct hdmi port on your tv?
Yes, I selected the right hdmi port, I even moved the hdmi cable to other ports and checked those as well.

Does anybody have any info on when this cable will be available? I was also wondering if anyone knows if I can play the 3D Movie from my phone on my 3D T.V. with this cable.
I don't have a 3D tv, so I can't test the 3D aspect of the cable, but I have tested the HDMI mirroring.
I ordered the MHL adaptor from T-Mobile's website. Look under the "data" accessories for the Sensation.
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Addons/Accessories/Default.aspx
It was $19 plus shipping. I tried a few local T-Mo stores, but nobody had it.
Anyway, I tested it last night. You need to have a charger, a normal HDMI cable, and the adaptor. The adaptor plugs into your phone's USB port, and then you need to plug the adaptor into your phone's charger and into the HDMI cable running to the TV.
You'll get full HDMI mirroring, meaning whatever is on your phone's display is on the TV. I only tested for a few minutes, but when I first attached it, there was a portrait view of my phone's screen up on the TV. I then tested both Netflix and HBO Go, which both flipped the image to landscape, filling the TV screen. Quality was pretty good with Netflix, and only adequate with HBO Go.
Hope that helps!

Anyone tested a non-MHL micro-USB to HDMI? I don't need charging, just want to display to a non-3D set.

No such thing. Must be plugged in to charge in order for the HDMI out to work.

What a crappy setup. I MUCH prefer the Evo 4G way. With this I have to carry my charger, the USB cord for the charger, a full size HDMI cable, and this adapter? LAME.
You know there's a search button right? There are about 20 threads loaded with MHL information.
Hi guys, i bought the MHL adapter from T-Mobile's website for the Sensation 4G (i have an Evo 3D). I set everything up, plugging the MHL adapter into my phone, standard HDMI into the adapter and TV, and the usb cable into the adapter...
After plugging everything in nothing happens. I even tried playing a video and nothing occurred. How do i activate the video out? Do i just have a bad MHL adapter?
A few questions. Does the battery icon on the phone show it is charging? This means that power is going to the adapter and to the phone. If not, try changing power adapters. If the charging icon is there, then try changing HDMI cables. If this doesn't work, you might have a bad MHL to HDMI adapter.
with your tv off, plug your mhl adapter into your phone, plug your power cable into the adapter, turn your tv on and bam! (note that the hdmi doesnt display the lockscreen)

My lockscreen shows and boot animation , Also to OP ...the hdmi mirroring is not as stable as HDMWIN is for the OG Evo imo, i had to play with it a bit to first get a picture on my Sammy (unplug/replug/reboot etc.)...then i got pic without sound (OG worked w/audio), ended up running hdmi through my Yamaha amp and that worked. Still not as stable as my 4g evo....LAME
btw I've read usb can't be plugged into pc for powering, must be plugged into wall adapter

my macbook pro powers it fine. weird.
I was using it with my stand that had a video on/off button to turn the display on an off. Everything was mirrored fine but I had no audio and hulu was intentionally shutting off the hdmi before any video played. Are they blocking media streaming apps from displaying through the mhl adapter? Oh an i powered mine by pluging it into my ps3.

Funny that you ask this. I just got an MHL adapter off of Amazon that was just the adapter itself (micro USB one end, female HDMI on the other).
I connected the HDMI cable to my TV and MHL adapter, then I connected my MHL adapter to my phone. Last but not least, I connected my power adapter directly to the MHL adapter and my phone started charging.
The input should be immediate from your phone but if it doesn't, check the following:
1. Make sure your TV is on and the input is selected for the proper HDMI port. If nothing is detected, the TV should report that it's receiving no signal.
2. Make sure the power cable is plugged into your MHL adapter. From my experience, it will not push out the HDMI signal without external power.
3. From my experience, you have to connect your phone to the MHL adapter LAST. NOt sure why but if everything else checks out fine and your phone still isn't pushing out a signal, reconnect the phone to the MHL adapter. You should get an HDMI icon on your top bar.
I have the EVO3D stock.
Everything works fine for me (pictures, music, video) except Netflix. For some reason Netflix looks extremely pixellated. Not quite sure why when everything else looks fine.
Just received my MHL adapter. Transfer video just fine, but sound still only comes out of the phone. I could have sworn the Evo 3D was capable fo 5.1 sound via HDMI.
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
I got my MHL adapter from T-mobile.....and it transfers both video and audio just fine.....sound stops coming out of the phone and comes from the tv once connected, I did not have to enter any settings that I recall
Anyone have any ideas what may be wrong here?
I'm using the ACCELL MHL adapter. Plugged into the external power. I can't think of anything I'm doing wrong.
Have you tried a different port on the tv??? Or try the adapter on a different tv to rule out the tv's or the phone. Or it might just be a bad cord.

Sorry to bump up an old thread but I just received my MHL adapter cable (Menotek) and am having the same issue of not getting the audio feed to the TV.
Video works great but no audio no matter what I try.
This is the adapter I bought. Anyone have any thoughts about it? Is it really a piece of junk?

Update:
Went out and purchased a new HDMI cable and now both audio and video work well coming the E3D. Strange since the original cable worked with no problems with my BoxeeBox.
I've tried the several listed proper sequences, I've tried USB debugging on and off, and I've tried rebooting my phone repeated times. I have the Menotek adapter others on here have said they've had luck with... but no matter what I do, neither the phone, nor the several TVs I've tried it with have recognized each other. I feel like there must be some setting or program I'm missing. Please help.
I get sound, no video

My phone is the att stock version. I have the menotenk with rcp and it works every time I use it on a HDTV but if i use it on a dvi device I have to use headphones or any audio cable in the headphone port or at least use a bluetooth audio other wise I get video that plays about a frame every 3 seconds and no audio. If I am not watching a video it will work fine... but that don't seem to be your problem.
Debugging should be off. This is my procedure:
*Make sure you hdmi cable is already connected to the tv. For things like RCP most tv will only work on hdmi port 1, so just to be sure use port 1 on your tv and make dobule sure you are using the right cable for the port.
* Restart your phone, do not load any app that does not load automaticaly.
Make sure tv is on and set for whichever hdmi port that you intend to use.
Hook hdmi cable to your adapter.
Connect your charger to the adapter. (Most tv's will have some sort of reaction to this. My small tv goes from no signal to no video when I do this, my 52" goes from a blue screen saying no signal to a black screen, this might not happen on every tv but if it does in your then you can guess that connection is good.)
Connect the adapter to your phone. (When this happens you should see the charging icon in your phone, also, you will see a message that says something like "hdmi connected", I can't remeber off my head)
In a few seconds you should see your tv flicker and they you should see video and have audio.
Before I got this menotek I bought another brand and it was touch and go with that one, I had to try the above procedure a couple of times and sometimes it would work, most times it would not....
If you are stock and it don't work I will have to say that you have a defective unit.
Sounds like a hassle to me.
I'm on stock firmware using the OEM Samsung MHL adapter. I simply pull the HDMI out of my PS3, and plug it in to the MHL adapter. Then I plug in the power supply. Then I plug the MHL adapter in my phone. Works flawlessly every time...tested on multiple video apps and games.

Hassle? How so? Sounds like the same thing I do.... I'm trying to help the op, telling him how to connect it probably will not do, If he is reading the instruction on the adapter he is alreading doing that same process, I'm trying to give him a better picture than the instructions on the adapter documentation.
Anybody know of/have a fix for MHL on ICS? When I plug the HDMI into the MHL and the MHL into the phone, only audio works. On GB, audio and video work completely fine but on ICS, the screen on the TV is completely black. NOTE* I can play audio, but NO video.
I'm positive it's not an ICS-wide problem because a friend of mine has the Nexus and it works fine. I think it's just the Note.
When your charger is plugged into the adapter, and the hdmi cable is plugged in to the tv/monitor, unplug the mhl adapter and plug it back in the the phone. See if that helps. I had the same trouble. That worked.

Seraphim ROM seems to be audio only
Well, I tried the unplug and reconnect bit and it didn't work for me. Bummer.
