Hi,
today i recived the MHL adaptor. After conecting HDMI cable, USB for power suply i had no pic on screen. The icon was there for "charging" so obviuslly it was reciving power but no pic on TV.
Do i have to enable something or...?
Thx!
Mine had/has issues as well.
Nothing you need to activate. It's supposed to be automatic. Try plugging it all in, and then rebooting your flyer. I believe that was how I got mine working initially.
try a different HDMI cable. the adapters can be finicky about that
2 diferent HDMI cables; TV , MONITOR, no luck no where
maybe you got a bad MHL adapter.
Also, I hate to ask a stupid question but starting at step 1.....
Is the display set to the right HDMI input?

the above link is adapter and yes correct Display HDMI.
Did you try rebooting with hdmi connected? I had one flyer work as soon as pluggin in, another needed to be rebooted the first time I connected HDMI.
Ok working; what i needed to do was not onlly REBOOT but POWER OFF and back ON wheil stil conected. Now works ok.
Thx guys!

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 tried watching a movie on my phone on the girlfriend's tv and got nothing... it's really annoying me now too.
-Plugged hdmi into each of the 4 ports on the tv in case was a bad port
-Tried 2 different phone chargers into a power strip AND tried extension cord from wall (nothing was open directly in the wall)
**Got nothing from those steps**
-Plugged adapter in to pc monitor with hdmi input and charger directly to wall, got picture
-Plugged hdmi into dvd player to test the tv, got picture
My first thought is the charger isn't getting a good connection to the powerstrip because the plug in front of it kinda prevents it from going in all the way - HOWEVER the phone does receive power and charged through it.
But that's why I tried an extension cord right off the wall, so not sure what it could be.
Does the TV have to be newer and support an mhl adapter? I thought you had MHL which required the TV to support AND then there was the adapter that worked with all hdmi (thus it being an adapter).
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.
Hi,
Noob question...
I bought myself the MHL USB Adapter. I want to output my SGSII to my TV. I tried the obvious and plugged in the adapter into the phone along with the HDMI but nothing happened.
Is there something I need to enable (i.e. when connecting a laptop to a project, you have to press Alt+F4 to change output)??
BTW I am running the latest Cyanogen Mod (update-cm-9-20120606-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed).
Only stock Samsung roms will work.
Cm9 official problem list stated same, you should have seen that first.
I bought the cheapest mhl adapter of eBay. The adapter is powered and came with a mains power supply ( a micro USB supply like the GS2 itself) and a vradle . I have to power up the mhl before connecting to the HDMI socket on the TV. Otherwise there is nothing to set up or switch on the phone, it just works, you get the beep and the connection icon in the status bar at the top, like when connecting to a pc by a cable.
I use it to watch rented films from the play store. It gives a very good picture on the TV.

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
