Make sure you have the DC charger plugged in, not a USB charger

I think sleeco meant AC charger, but the point is valid. You must make sure that it is providing the correct amount of mah to the MHL adapter. If you are not using the AC charger that came with your phone, you should try that.

i use the ac charge that came with my phone.. how can i know what is th mah that is need ?
check that i made:
when the mhl andapter connect (with ac charge) and the HDMI cable is unplug the wifi is still connec... and dont fall
when i connect the HDMI cable again the wifi goes down
can it be the HDMI cable ?

Could be. There are different HDMI revisions. I'd try to get a newer cable. Or at least try a DIFFERENT HDMI cable. Maybe the one you're trying to use is causing some kind of short - who knows? Unfortunately, I have no idea on how to check the cable version. All I can say is mine works just fine, and WiFi stays connected.

ok.. i will try
i bought the adapter and the cable from ebay... if it make difference...

You can get almost any version of anything off of ebay. So not really a difference. The real question that will make a difference: is your MHL adapter the original Samsung adapter? Some knock-off, or third party version? An MHL adapter someone in China made? What about the HDMI cable? Some third party MHL adapters will work ok (I've tried one that worked just fine, but I didn't like it), and I've heard of others that do weird things. Yours could be one.

ok, i will try others MHL and HDMI...thanks

Anybody using HDMI out??

I bought the official HTC adaptor for this and I can't get it to work.
I plugged power into it, used a brand new HDMI cable and nothing works at all.
The first time I plugged it in, an icon came on up top saying HDMI out but nothing showed on the TV screen.
Now, when i plug it in the phone starts charging but nothing else happens at all.

There are a couple members with the MHL adapter. You might just have a faulty accessory because to my knowledge none of them have issues.
MHL adapters do not work on their own, you have to plug a micro USB cable into the side to power it.

Yep, I'm using the HTC mhl adapter and it works, but a USB cable has to be plugged from the wall to the adapter.

Here's the one I'm using.

Probably find a cheaper one out there, but this one worked for me.
Just out of curiosity, what would be the purpose/need to hook HDMI up to your phone? (And no, I am not being snarky or a d*ck, just curious as to what it's used for...)

You can plug the phone into an HDTV and show pictures or play movies at their full resolution on the screen. This phone can probably play HD video better than my (aging) laptop can.

Not sure if you tried disconnecting all of the cables and reconnecting them, but I'd give that a shot if you haven't already. A battery pull may not hurt either. Could also be a bad adapter or phone. Saw a few similar issues in the accessories section.

Did you choose the output in whatever application you are playing the source from? In the standard sense player, for example, there is a button that says output right next to the beats logo. I have heard that the option "TV" appears there when you are connected via HDMI or wifi to a televison.
For me, as soon as I plug in the adapter to the phone an hdmi icon appears in the notification section and the display shows up on the tv.

Yea, mine did that the very first time I plugged it in but it hasn't done it since.
The adaptor has to be defective, I have read a good percentage of them do not work correctly.
~John
I'm using the cheapest one Amazon sells and it works great. I remember seeing someone else had a defective phone. You may be in the same boat. I'd try another adapter and if that doesn't work I would return the phone(exchange)

This is somewhat counter-intuitive, but the Samsung MHL adapter works extremely well. Oddly enough it works better on the Rezound than it does on the Infuse or Epic Touch 4G.
All that to say, yeah, you probably have a bad adapter.
Here's an MHL adapter people posted about using successfully in the accessories forum:

I don't know how much yours was but I know monoprice has great prices on their stuff.

I am also using the one from monoprice. It works like a champ no problems and is only $15. Highly recommend it!
Mine was getting the HDMI logo at the top but no output I was useing the USB OWM rezound wall plug that came with he phone. Well I used a better one i had here and now HDMI out works great... It just will not work with the HTC rezound wall plug power.. even works off of my PC's usb power just not the OEM one.

MHL Support

I bought a MHL adapter last week and I haven't had any successes in making it work.
I"m not sure if the thing is broken, or if the roms(Checkrom and Hyperdroid) I'm using don't' support it.
Anyone able to use MHL using either Checkrom or Hyperdoid?
How are you using it? Have you plugged in a power supply into the adaptor to make it work?
Sorry if this is obvious but any detail is good.

What everyone else said. If the TV/Monitor you are connecting to via HDMI isn't MHL equipped (not many are, yet), you will need to plug the MHL adapter into a power source, or it won't work.
I tried powering it with my PS3's usb outlet.
I will try to use a AC connection tonight. Thanks for the help!

Yeah, that definitely won't work. It requires a certain amount of amps - I believe 700 or 750 milliamps. Whatever your stock AC charger is. I think the PS3's usb only outputs 500 milliamps at most.

[Q] Help! Micro USB to HDMI on HTC Amaze

I recently purchased a "ikross USB to HDMI" adapter on amazon, supposedly supported by the HTC Amaze. However, when i plug the adapter in connected to my TV(s), nothing happens on the phone or tv.
Im guessing I need some kind of 'drivers' on the phone to enable this feature.
Also, my problem might be stemming from the fact that i am running Beastmod v2.2.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for these adapters?
Thanks
I don't believe you purchased the rite thing, I was reading and interested in running hdmi from my amaze, I have read most places you need to purchase an MHL converter, that's why the plug on the phone is the funny square shape

Mhl uses micro USB, so you don't need a special port on the adapter.
My guess for op is that it might be the ROM. I use bullet proof, and my Mhl to hdmi adapter works fine.
Final, try making a backup of your current ROM, flash a ROM with sense, and try again.
Edit: Also, this should be in accessories

Huh I figured cause if you look in the port beyond the USB there are other pins I figured it requires a special plug to reach those pins

The port on the Amaze is a proprietary HTC design, called EXTUSB. It allows the device to get more power while charging, but it is also backwards compatible with microusb cables.

I got one of those, and it works IF you also plug a USB charging cable separately into the adapter - thanks for the stupid design HTC.
In order to do the hdmi out can you use a miniusb or does the adapter have to have the extusb?
Edit:
Also if I am reading this right you need a TV with the MHL chip in it for this to work:

All wrong. A simple Google will show you that EXTUSB was the port HTC used in the days of the T-Mo Wing, G1, and myTouch 3G.
The miniHDMI connector does NOT fit the Amaze. I wish I knew what our port was called... I'll report in if I can find it. But I know it's not EXTUSB
I recently bought Cable Matters Micro USB to HDMI MHL Adapter from Amazon. I have had success using it on stock phone, quicksense v3.0.0 and currently beastmod 2.3.0.
Just to set the record clear. The port on the Amaze 4G is called an MHL connector. It's not a proprietary HTC port, but a seemingly new industry standard. Just search wikipedia for MHL and you can read all about it.
Punchline is that you get a single port that can output HDMI and connect via USB in one go. Supposedly with the proper adapter your phone will charge while connected to an HDMI source. You can definitely use a standard micro USB cable on the MHL port if you just need to charge or connect to a computer via USB.
The one I bought, the power cable must be attached.

That's what Mr. Moo is getting at. MHL ports allows simultaneous output and charging; though I'm not sure they both need to be connected for either to work.
In my experience, the MHL with power connected doesn't really charge the phone. My battery still drains slowly while connected. Is that just me?

HTC calls the port ExtMicro USB. It's backwards compatible with Micro-USB plugs (the five leads on the flange you see on the front), but the proprietary plug has 12 pins total.
I was getting intermittent performance with a Micro-USB MHL-HDMI adapter, and had to have a Micro-USB charger attached.
The HTC adapter for the Amaze (and Flyer, and Rezound) is AC-M500, a 12-pin adapter with HDMI-out, Audio-out (3.5mm) and an ExtMicro USB port. I have pics of these on WikiMedia, and in a thread in the Rezound section.
I wish I could tell you what the 7 additional leads do that a conventional MHL-HDMI adapter doesn't ... and HTC isn't talking. (US Tech Support couldn't even confirm the that the port is different, only the recommended adapter.) aLogCat recorded some HDCP messages when I connected the phone with this adapter to a Dell ST2410 24" monitor that's been reported for not supporting HDCP-controlled HDMI video. When I connected my Amaze to a Samsung T27A300 1080P HDTV, it worked fine.

I have same trouble last week. I bought a "usb to hdmi adapter" from Amazon as a cheap price last month. But it can't work. So last week , i got a new hdmi adapter from Hdgenius .Finally it is OK and can work normally. So maybe you can learn from me and get another new hdmi adapter to have a test.

[Q] MHL cable and OTG cable

If you connect the MHL cable to the device and the OTG cable to the MHL cable the device can't detect the OTG cable.
How can I make this work? I've seen videos in youtube that they connect their device to the TV at the same they have USB bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected.
Anyone tried using MHL cable and OTG cable at the same time?

According to some of wikipedia entries it should be possible to use mhl and usb otg at the same time with a 11-pin mhl-hdmi adapter.
Wikipedia said:
11-pin MHL-USB Connector
The Samsung Galaxy S III uses a connector that is similar to the original 5-pin MHL-USB connector, but it uses 11-pins in order to achieve a few functional improvements over the 5-pin design.
It supports the use of USB and MHL simultaneously (note that the new Samsung 11-pin MHL-HDMI adapter also has a USB-OTG port).
Samsung’s Galaxy S III can power the MHL-HDMI adapter. Although this can theoretically also be done with the standard 5-pin micro-USB connector, the Galaxy S III's 11-pin connector is believed to be the first smartphone that supports this functionality.

Here you go.
So, it should work. But I couldnt make it work at the moment
I also got one of these 11-pin connectors and like it seems only the S3 has these adapters, so why the **** doesnt it work?? :/
I already asked sammy on facebook, just wondering what they will answer^^
Hopefully we will have some pos. results, dude.

How would that work since the micro USB connection on the mhl cable is for power / charger?
In those YouTube videos is it possible that they have the mhl cable connected to the TV and power source, and the keyboard and mouse connected wirelessly via Bluetooth?
Confused because you said USB Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. From what I know they aren't USB.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Samsung should eventually release a dock to use both so unless someone figures it out first you'll just have to wait, because if it just took an 11 pin USB cable someone would have got it working already and we'd know about it, so I reckon it might have some extra circuitry to make it recognised by the phone.
Guys, as I already posted, the connector has 11 pins, so it should be possible to use OTG and MHL features at the same time. thats the only reason sammy brought out this connector and also cause of incompability with the 5-pin connector.
So they should bring the f*ck out somethin for the phone that activates this feature.
And a big problem I have with my mhl-connector is that I cant configure the output
on my 2 TVs at home I get 1080i, (both only 1080i capable), but the picture is kinda oversized so I cant see 100% percent of the picture, only 90% or smt like this.
But the funny part is, that I get on my 1680x1050p PC monitor only 576p screen, what actually sucks So it would be awesome if I could choose the resolution I want to have. But I guess its a thing of the connector (maybe it choose the resolutions iself).
cheers
so the one in the videos using keyboard and mouse are bluetooth thru phone?

I am SO HARD waiting for THAT "DOCK" hopefully will came out any day soon.

To use the MHL cable you must have power connected to the adapter.

That's damn funny because I have wanted to know whether that would work as well, lol.
Did seriously consider trying but as I was on holiday if they broke, I wouldn't be able to get replacement so didn't try it.
In theory I would think it could work, but only if you could somehow wire in power to the hdmi adapter as it appears to need that to run the hdmi aswell as provide power to the phone, at least enough that once the usb adapter tries to demand power to run it isn't enough for the phone to output.
As to whether this is just a a stupid guess and assumption of how the devices and being a noob, I don't know.
If you can get a micro female to male adapter with a usb splitter for power then technically I can't see why it wouldn't work if the limitations are physical as oppose to software based (whole other issue I have no clue about).
EDIT: Wow, when I started that post no one had replied, err, seems a little redundant now, lol. My bad. Also, this 5 minute wait to point this out, have seemed really long...
guess we'll have to wait for that dock.
