Well my HDMI was working fine. But since few days it does not anymore. Funny thing is I haven't installed any new firmware since I started using HDMI (there was no new firmware for me in Poland)
Now HDMI looks dead. Prime do not see HDMI cable when plugged in.
Did anyone of you have similar situation?
from my experience so far with the HDMI on the Prime is that sometimes it doesn't detect that you plugged it in at times, so yo have to keep unplugging it and replugging until you see the notice at the bottom that an HDMI cable has been inserted.

I also have to be sure to pause Music or start my game before I plug it in, or it won't work quite right.
I've been chopping this up to the $5 20ft cable, but I guess not...
I've also had this problem. I've tried plugging it in multiple times and it no longer detects my HDMI cable. I've tried turning the prime on and off, switching tv's but no dice. I might try to get a new cable to see if that's the problem and go from there.
also try just half plugging it in. If it's plugged in too far it doesn't work.

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
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.
I just got an HDMI Adapter for my Canadian Galaxy Tab 10.1 running ICS. Device is not rooted and is running whatever software version is pushed from Samsung. For some reason, I cannot get the adapter to work at all. I've tried different HDMI cables, different TVs and I also tried it on my friend's Rogers Galaxy Tab 10.1, all to no avail. The tablet definitely recognizes the adapter, because when I plug it in, it launches the TuneIn Radio app for some reason, and when I unplug it, all the icons and widgets redraw themselves. I also can't see anything in the settings that deal with the HDMI connection. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?

Although I don't have and HDMI adapter cable, I do know that power cable and plug must be used in conjunction. There should be an slot in the HDMI adapter to connect the power cable.
Click Thanks button if this helps.

Thanks! Plugging it in and restarting it did the trick.
In case anyone is contemplating a purchase of the adapter, I do not recommend it. You need to have it plugged into a power source and you need to reboot the device every time you want to use it. Also the resolution is absolutely garbage, my moto razr outputs much better quality and works simply by plugging in the cable.

Hmm , if there is a program through which to get better resolution and it seems to me that it has not yet perfected the Samsung tab ?

Hi. I have the same problems that you described. To Summarize:
· When connecting only the adapter, it just redraws the screen. After that, I connect the HDMI Cable and nothing happens.
· When connecting the charge cable or power adapter to the HDMI adapter before inserting it to the tablet, same as the first case.
· When connecting the charge cable and HDMI cable before inserting it to the tablet, same as the first case.
· When connecting the charge cable and HDMI cable and restaring the tablet after inserting it to the tablet, no signal is received by the tv.
I'm using a P5110, ¿is your model a P5113?
I just hooked up one of those Volans MHL to HDMI converter boxes. I connected to the TV but when I plugged in the power, the charge indicator on the Tablet flashed on an off and so did the TV picture. I rebooted everything and made sure I tried an isolated USB power supply. I disconnected the HDMI cable to make sure it wasn't an issue with the tv but the power still flashed on and off.
Any ideas? Anyone had success with this? If it looks like a faulty unit, I'll just get another but if it is a design fault, I'll look elsewhere.
Thanks
I purchased the Amazon Basics micro HDMI cable (http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-High-Speed-Mini-HDMI-Cable-Ethernet/dp/B003ES5ZR8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419968500&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+hdmi) and I've been having issues with poor or no connection. The first time I connected the tablet everything was great. I played about an hour of Portal with no issue. I had to reboot the tablet, and after that I couldn't get a signal. I tried the HDMI cable in my Canon 70d and had no signal. I assumed that the cord was bad, but last night I tried again and got a good signal for about ten minutes. I had to change the source on the TV and when I went back to the original input, my signal was gone. Has anyone else experienced this with the Amazon HDMI cable or any other HDMI cable? What are some good low-cost HDMI cables that others have had success with?
Ive used this adapter a few times without issue. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IZYIYX8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .. If the cable is giving you an issue with multiple devices can it be the TV?

I plugged the cable into all of the HDMI ports on the TV and one on my Sony receiver. It seems to react the same way with both devices. But that adapted you linked looks pretty slick.
Sounds more like a bad cable than anything else. If you replace the cable and it continues then the shield would be the next more likely culprit. I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else, though.
Recently picked up the v30 and purchased an otg cable to be able to hook my printer to my phone for work (did this on my g4 no problem). First plug shows up and when i plug it in, the phones usb status goes to "power supply" (like im trying to charge another device, not charge my v30). If i changs it to any other option, a second later it changes back to power supply. I thought this was strange as nothing was even plugged into the otg cable. Returned it and got another one of a different brand , same problem. Got a specific cord thats usb c on one end, printer plug on the other side. Same exact thing. All of these cables worked fine on my buddies Motorola, so at this point, i can only assume its the phone. I have tried plugging multiple devices to the otg cables, even getting a usb to micro usb to try my old otg cable and all had the same problem. Verizon sent a brand new phone to me thinking my cable port was bad. It did the same thing as well. If anyone else has run into this issue or has any advice, that would be much appreciated. My work printer is old and the wifi direct sucks to hook up constantly and it likes to disconnect in the middle of printing.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have been having the same issues. I am trying to use the OTG adapter for my Meridian DAC. Ordered through Amazon 2 times, with different sellers claiming compatibility. But no luck.
And to concur with you, I get the identical issue where it switches momentarily to my selection, then Immediately goes to Power supply.

Regarding connecting a external DAC to the V30 I currently have that working with my V30 and my FIIO Kunlun E18. The cable used is below. I know that it's not the same thing that you are talking about because it's not exactly an OTG adapter but it works for my purposes. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the info.
Do I need to change anything in the settings?
Or is it basically plug and play?

It's plug and play but when the DAC is connected it asks you if you want to set a default app to the USB device. Be sure to select NO and just cancel out if window. I was selecting yes when I had USB pro music app installed and it prevented me from hearing anything from LG music player, YouTube,and other 3rd party apps.

I'm also facing the same issue with an otg adapter, exact same symptoms.
Is there any solution other than buying specific otg adapters like the ones listed above?
I've also noticed that my V30 is very picky when it comes to usb connection. I have an usb c flash drive, and if it moves in the slightest, the connection just drops. It also happens with some usb cables that I've tried to use to connect the phone with my pc.
