touch capabilities lost when connected with MHL... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
when i connect the phone through MHL connector i cant use the phone, its like the phone loss al touch capabilities and doesnt respond at all...
is there a way of fix this?
the phone is with stock KI3 and CF Root.
thanks!

Im giving this thread a slight bump.
I just bought a MHL adapter for my S2 and I have the exact same problem, there is some response from the screen but it is very choppy and slow.
Playing videos/games works great and the back/menu/home buttons are as responsive as they have always been.
Anyone know how to solve this?

the touch screen problem accurs dues to electrical interference from wires/chargers in near proximity to the phone screen. The problem is only when the wires/chargers are faulty. (not is usage per se but causing the interference)..
the phone screen being capacitive - is prone to anything electrically conductive (including electrically charged air near it).
when you use the MHL adapter... try dragging the phone away from other clutter as far as you can ( keeping it still connected obviuosly)..and see if the problem still persists...

[Q] Weird screen problem

Hi,
I've had a problem with the phone out of the box: when the phone is connected to the charger (non Samsung charger) or the USB in the computer, the touch screen bearly responds. I try to use the phone but it's like the touch panel does not respond, or sometimes it responds and some time it doesn't. Once I disconnect the charger, it goes back to being fully functional.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to fix this? Is there an app in the market to test whether there is a problem?
Gosh, I hope this is not a HW problem..
Thanks.
I'm guessing that the flow of the electricity might be causing interference to the capacitive sensor as I've experienced this a couple of times on my SGS1.
Haven't had this issue though on SGS2.
Some of the HTC Evo 4G phones had a similar issue when it was launched last year. HTC was able to fix it with a software update. But I don't know if your phone ihas the same underlying cause. If it is easy for you to return, you may want to try that rather than waiting for a fix.
I have a Galaxy S1 and had a similar problem. I bought a non samsung usb cable to charge my phone and it caused it to be unresponsive while connected. As soon as I disconnected it, the phone returned to normal. I bought some samsung data cables from ebay and never had the problem since.
A friend of mine had a Blackberry (i think), and used my samsung cable to try to charge his phone in my car. It never worked.....or atleast his phone never said it was charging.
My guess is the cables may have the same connector, but the wiring my be different.
I could be completely wrong though, but this is the experience I had with the original galaxy s
I've had the same problem with the galaxy s 1. No matter what charger I used though charging via usb made it better.
Happens with a lot of phones, Aridoasis above hit the nail on the head.
If you read the manual you will see that it say that that will happen of you are connected to an unstable power source. Which I think will happen when the cable used to charge the phone somehow doesn't match it.
This happens to me when I used a standard micro USB cable to charge it. But goes away when I use my ATRIX's USB power charger

[Q] HDMI issue

hey everyone. ive been playing with webtop and i noticed that if my hdmi cord comes out of the phone. even the slightest bit. the screen cuts out and i have to press it back it. like. this is such a slight amount a small bump could trigger it. is anyone else having this issue? (also. i cant figure out if its the cable or the phone... )
That's odd for sure. My cable holds very firmly in place. My phone even slid off my tv stand one day and hung by the cable and everything still functioned. I would think its the casing on the Atrix might not be right or the cable might not be reaching all the way in ie cable was manufactured too short on the plug end. If you have a friend with an Atrix try out their cable if not call moto they might send a replacement but that idk never heard of anyone calling about that.
But thats just my 2 cents

[Q] External Touch Screen question

I recently purchased a dell 20 inch touch screen. One of the major selling points was that it supported an MHL-HDMI, meaning 1 simple cable would supply both an HDMI and USB connection from my phone to the monitor... which it does. The issue however is that the touch screen does not respond correctly to input. Anywhere I touch on the screen it simply hits the same spot near the top left over and over. USB devices plugged into the monitor (it's also a hub) work just fine.
I thought it might have been the cable so I tried an external MHL adapter and ended up with the same result. Then I hooked up some other android devices(tronsmart prometheus, and an ouya (running CM11)) through hdmi with USB attached and again received the same response. It does however work normally with every variety of x86 computer I've tried; even android x86.
This seems very similar to a configuration issue I fixed on an a touchscreen Ubuntu laptop years ago. Some googling helped me solve that one quickly and easily, but the problem is that I have no idea where to start on this one. Searching is almost impossible as any combination of "android" and "touch screen" tends to take me off in the wrong direction. Even here 4 out of the 5 threads I've found are at least 5 years old and quite hypothetical.
Of course it could always be a deeper issue involving a lack of kernel support, in which case I'm probably screwed.
Any suggestions on where/how to start? If nothing else this can at least act as a warning for people not to buy MHL HDMI touchscreens and expect them to work with android phones out of the box. At least not yet.
Thanks for any ideas in advance
i`am exactly in the same position right now, beside not having bought a touchscreen yet.
my thoughts were also to buy a dockingstation for the htc one x (m8), to have
hdmi and usb , then just connect both to a touchscreen monitor and make use of mhl
to make it work, meaning having proper touch functionallity on the monitor.
and you`re right, i`am searching this topic for some time now, seems like this idea diyed out in 2011,
at least according to the internet
so, not much of help from my side, but def. interested to see how this thread goes !

[Q] My Screen Wont Work But I Want To Use An External Screen

Hey there. I really need someone's help here. See, my Samsung Galaxy S3 has survived a lot of throws, drops, scuffs and scratches and it works great. However I hit the final blow last night when my phone broke into a few pieces. Now it's all back together the only damage done is ;
The Case is deformed
The Front Glass is cracked
And the touch screen no longer lights up nor does it respond to any touch input.
I'm trying to find a way to project my phone's screen onto my laptop without the use of apps or extra cables. Only cable I have is the standard USB Charging Cable. Is there any way I can use this alone and a WIFI Connection to display my phones screen onto my laptop?

Crazy touchscreen while USB in use

I would like to ask if someone else experience crazy touchscreen behavior while your m4 aqua usb is in use, be it charging or data transfer. Its impossible to type, as it type at random or close/open almost every app or menu. But once I remove the usb cable it works proporly. I have a glass screen protector, but I really don't see how it would be connected with this misbehavior.
OS: 26.1.B.3.109, locked bootloader , unrooted.
touchscreens work by closing a circuit between screen and your finger..when electricity passes through cables it creates a magnetic field..what type of glass screen protector are you using..link to it?i have one too but i haven't got any problems like these

Sorry, I had to put a generic one [cheap chinese], as I couldn't found any branded in my local market. Though I just tried and it was working just fine with 100% battery, maybe its related to the a low battery state. Will try later.
Thanks for the repy.
