HDMI issues? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Is anyone having trouble with the GS2 HDMI cable? I just bought one and when I connect it to the TV it says "connecting" and then "no signal". I know one end is the HDMI out, the other is the USB in and the side one is the usb power feed. I´ve tried the power feed by connecting it to the tv and also tried connecting it to the GS2´s usb power charger....both times no luck. If you click on "sources" the HDMI port shows up as active but there is no signal. I´ve tried in 2 different TVs and the same happens on both.
Is there something I have to activate on the phone?
I´m on 4.0.3 - baseband I9100XXIk4 - build Illusion-ICS v1.01 XXI.PB-I9100

I´ve tested with a stock GS2 and it worked...got some static and "no signal" at some point, but overall it worked. Too bad it won´t work on my ICS

Are you sure HDMI-out works on this ROM? Check the ROM thread.

I don´t think it does. I´ll wait for the official Samsung ICS release.

Same problem with HDMI out
I have the same problem after upgrading to the official 4.0.3. Did you get it to work?

Sadly not. I guess when the official ICS comes out this will be fixed.

I have the LP7 ICS ROM and HDMI works fine. I have the Internation version of the SGSII and using Samsung's HDMI Adapter and it is powered from the mains power supply.
SO there is not a problem with ICS compared to GB.

I'm using this ROM GT-I9100_WanamLite.DXLP7.Deodexed.Stock.NO-WIPE & HDMI works perfect. It is a Samsung based ICS ROM.

[Q] MHL Cable not working

Hello everyone. I bought a mhl cable but it doesnt seem to be working properly. Im running Rootbox ics v1.8 with latest siyah kernel. I connected everything as it was suppossed to be connected, even the charger. My wifi signal drops and the image in the tv dissapears every few seconds and sometimes it just freezes. Phone is working perfectly as always but seems like the tv's image can't keep up with what's going on. if i watch a video that i have in my phone it works fine, but once i start doing anything else, like browsing the web, tv screen just goes black or it just freezes. This is really frustrating. I also tried turning airplane mode on but that didn't help. I also tried to overclock my phone but that didn't help as well. Any help would be appreciated.

MHL doesn't work for mirroring the display on any ROMs that are not based on Samsung stock.
RootBox is not based on Samsung stock, so it is subject to the same issues and limitations that all other AOSP and AOKP ROMs suffer from. This is one of those issues.
If you want MHL to work for stuff other than videos, then you will have to go to a stock firmware, or a ROM based on Samsung stock.

Thank You so much. I just downloaded stock rom and put it as a secondary rom and now i just have to switch roms in order to enjoy my tv experience. Thanks!
I'm having a problem. I have a galaxy sII, but even watching a video in 1080, the image is horrible.
I use version 2.3.6 Gingerbread
UHKI1 I9100
2.6.35.14 kernel N.E.A. K-x 1.4.2
May be the kernel problem?

[Q] Snow Leopord's Stock Rom & MHL

Will Snow Leopards stock AT&T rom located in developers forum restore/provide MHL connection ability?
Edit: Sorry for mispelling your name Snow. It won't happen again.

which ROM does it not work for you with? Also the adaptor needs to be powered by micro usb , and the order that the cables get connected seems to matter. Connect to phone last, trial and error for other two.

I'm on CM 11-20140104-NIGHTLY-e970
Monitor: ACER AL1917W (DVI connection)
Micro USB-DVI adapter: iKross MHL
Connecting LGOG last indicates no connection. I am certain LGOG is powering since screen remains on.
It is why I ask if returning to SnowLeopords stock rom will restore MHL.

You could likely even just use a different AOSP-base rom, no need to go all the way back to 4.1.
I know for a fact that Houstonn's 4.3 PA builds work with MHL, and I believe the official CM10.2 build also work.

I can confirm it is working on Beanstalk 4.4 also , using Samsung MHL that came with Infuse.
Do you know what kernel has MHL support for CyanogenMod?

I installed the Beanstalk 4.4 rom which included the slimkat kernel. The mhl worked. I purchased a rocketfish adapter and plugged it into my hdmi tv and all seemed well. Unfortunately my LGOG started to get very hot. I reverted to my old CM 4.4 with cm kernel and heat problem solved but alas no mhl output.

cm10.2 mhl works. Joy.
Edit: Recent developments suggest I was wrong regarding the 10.2 rom. I reinstalled it and it seems to be working fine. I cannot get my dvi monitor to work but my hdmi tv works great. So I must purchase an hdmi monitor in order to have my LGOG serve as my desktop PC.
My thanks to OMGMatrix for suggesting 10.2 as a solution.
@XDFernando, try the 10.2. I think you will find it easy to get along with.
CM11 now supports mhl
I upgraded from 10.2 to 11 last night and tried connecting to my hdtv and lo-an-behold it mirrored my LGOG, even rotated the view.
I have also not working
CM11 MHL Working
I'm pleased to announce that I have reached my goal of replacing my desktop computer with my LGOG. I use bluetooth mouse and keyboard and connect my LGOG to an $80 LED HDTV via MHL adapter. I was inspired by this blog http://www.livingdigitally.net/2012/02/using-a-mobile-device-as-a-desktop-computer.html. YouTube videos now play through MHL without a problem. My thanks to the CM11 post by shellnut. I'm using the latest CM11 nightlies with the gapps-kk-20140105 and 3.4.0-CM+ kernel. Pretty neat.

Kitkat that supports docking & s-pen?

Is there a 4.4.2 room that supports audio over USB and comes with the s-pen apps?
Anyone have any recommendations? Hoping gchilds slimrom handles this.
So far, none of the non TW 4.3 & 4.4 ROMs I have tried have working USB audio. I finally broke down and bought a Bluetooth enabled radio for my truck and have never looked back.

Thanks. So if I want to continue using a dock with USB audio . Have to stick with an older rom?
What is the most stable rom that does support USB audio?
I'm still running jellybeans. Stable and really have no reason to upgrade. Just want to play.
Anything newer than that?

If you are already on Jellybeans, I would stick with that. You could also create a backup of your current ROM and just restore once you are finished checking out the new ROMs. (That is what I did when I was still tied to USB audio)

Thanks. That's what I did to try pacman.
I'll check jellybeans and see if I have the latest version.
Thanks again.

[Q] SOKP M2 4.4.4 - i9305 - MHL Cable

Hi,
I have purchased an MHL cable so when I transfer movies onto my phone I can watch at the girlfriends house however whenever using this rom, it does not work, and all i get is no signal, I tried on a mates phone and it worked perfectly, however he did not have the SOKP rom.
Is there a way to make it work on this rom (as it has the best battery life for me) or do I need to ask the developer? (not enough posts yet)
