Bought a MHL adapter yesterday and tested it with LJ4 running Franco r20. The phone rebooted upon plugging in to the TV and okay after that but no sound. Checked the accessories setting and the sound output was greyed out. Tested the same with another phone running ICS and no problem at all, no reboot and no grey out, TV plays the sound alright. Anyone encounter the same?
Using the original Samsung mhl adapter?
I have the same problem, but with some chinese adapter from ebay

Non-original. I don't know if you have the same, mine is a "cable type". I just need to plug it into the HDMI and USB without any additional cables, unlike the original. I have another s3 running ICS and it is working fine with the adapter. Are you on JB or ICS?

You probably got a bad adapter. Or does your TV support the resolution that the Rez outputs?
Just got my MHL in the mail and works great.

I just tried it yesterday and it worked great!
I have one I am using from my girl friends Infuse and it didn't work at 1st for me. My problem was that I was just pluging it into the phone and HDMI to the TV. When using it you have to by plug into power to get it to work or so it would seem for me.
Yes you need to plug the adapter into the phone, the charger into the adapter and an hdmi cable from the adapter to the tv. Works great just a pain compared to micro hdmi out! You can buy all the stuff you need from monoprice.com for less than the official MHL adapter.
I have the monoprice one. I can confirm: it HAS to be connected to power (charger or USB both work) to function, not just if you want the phone to charge while using the adapter.
Quoting myself from the other MHL thread:
What I did was use a short HDMI cable, short micro USB cable plugged into one of my TVs USB ports for power, and then mounted the adapter to the back of my TV with velco. I then use a micro usb extension cable to connect the adapter to my phone, cutting down a TON on the octopus effect. And I can always disconnect the adapter to take it with me somewhere.

I searched up "MHL hdmi" and got a few threads from other phones forums on XDA; half were before our phone came out or the cable was available.
My question is which mhl adapter actually works on our phones (i777)
I've seen a large variety out there; ranging from white to black, 2 cables or 1 cable +inlet for power cable, "samsung" imprinted mhl adapters, and OEM ones.
I've read some distort the phone screen while connected to the tv, others cut off wifi while connected, some OEM can use remotes to operate the phone, while others didn't or OEMs not performing properly.
I've seen generic ones from $6 up, OEM logo'd ones at $6 and OEM packaged ones at $33+
Do we have a specific model/brand sure to work without error? Using TV remote is a plus. I've seen some for sale with wireless mini keyboards (bonus) and that catches my eye

I'm personally just using one random black one I got on ebay, seems to work fine.
I would THINK MHL is a standard, and though some might not function QUITE as well as others, they should all serve their basic purpose.
I haven't seen any that don't require USB power though, mind linking to the one you've found? Maybe link the ones with the Mini Keyboards...? I'm interested.

Does any ics build support mhl yet?
I'm using the one from the Samsung Infuse and it works perfectly. I don't know about this TV remote thing since I have a BT ps3 media kb I use.

I bought a mhl to hdmi cable I'm new to this I plugged it into my phone and hdmi but got nothing then I also hooked up USB power to it when I did that it showed a input for it on my TV but still no video does this not work with ics?
It works with ics. Try this, plug hdmi cable from tv to adapter plug power cable from wall adapter charger to adapter. Then plug into phone. Also what kind of mhl adapter do you have? I personally went through a few and ended up with getting the samsung one for me it works the best. Others had flaky power adapters or reports of doa. Anyway try again like that if it doesn't work try changing hdmi cables I've seen people have that as their cause as well. Also I can tell you that mhl and blue tooth and wireless work awesome on ics better than gb. I can even use it with a ps3 controller etc..

I don't think it works on AOKP or CM9, without installing an extra app. I've been using it on SHOstock 2 just fine. I think the TW ROMs have the support built in. I know 2.3 MIUI does not support MHL.
It only needs the power adapter if your TV does not support MHL. If your TV is MHL compliant it will send power over the HDMI port and charge your phone. The standard is still new, almost no TVs support it yet. You can still mirror the screen over HDMI with a MHL adapter, but you have to power the adapter. MHL compliant TVs should be able to control the phone through the TV, but because those TVs are as common as unicorns I haven't tested it. With a non MHL compliant TV all it does is accept the input from your phone. You must still navigate on your phone. But, you can use a Bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse to control your phone wirelessly.
I got the cheapest MHL adapter on eBay that shipped free from inside the US. I think I paid ~$7. Its worked fine for me over the past 6 months.

Im running ICS 4.0.3 SHOstock2 v2.2.4 with 3.0.30-cherrypicker kernel on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II i777. I purchased a MENOTEK MHL to HDMI adapter and Im trying to use it with my RCA Plasma TV. I connect the adapter to the HDMI cable then the power cable to the Adapter, and then I connect the adapter to my phone. The tv recognizes that I have the HDMI cable plugged in then the screen goes black. While I have the adapter plugged into the phone, the phone works fine, only there isn't anything being displayed on the screen. I try to launch several video apps, still nothing. The weirdest thing is when I unplug the adapter from my phone, it causes the phone to freeze and I have to pull the battery to restart. Is anyone else having a simular problem and may know of a fix. Ive done a few searches but havent been able to find anything. I appreciate any help that I can get.
I would ask in the SHOstock thread. It worked fine for me, but I switched to AOKP. The last SHOstock I tried MHL was 2.2 I think. I would guess its a kernel thing. Maybe try another kernel?

Thanx! I will definitely look into a different kernal. The only problem with asking on the SHOstock thread is my account is new. I don't have enough posts to comment on that thread.

it should work with shostock I've been using it with phone bricker works good. The only roms that won't work at least as of now is aosp aokp roms cause our bases are derived from Samsung bases international or otherwise which contain it. A long time ago entropy told me something along the lines of the mhl code being proprietary closed source which is why cm9 etc doesn't have it. But with ics and the huge user base if anyone is talented enough to get that working they will.

Also for the TV remote in the other post is correct at least what I'm pretty sure your talking about. Cause a friend of mine just got one of those new voice/gesture etc Sammy TVs and they have mhl,dlna etc. Honestly at that point you aren't concerned with a phone remote when you can just use gestures and voice

I updated to the most recent update ShoStock 2.2.6 but I still seem to have the same problem. The television screen is blue before I Connect the phone. Once the phone is connected the screen goes black but doesnt mirror the phone screen. When I unplug the phone from the adapter it become unresponsive and I have to reboot. I starting to think the adapter may be DOA

I'm with you in the ShoStock MHL woes. Some say it works, it hasn't been working for me. The adapter is not DOA if the screen is going black and changing on the TV. My TV (Samsung) recognizes there is an MHL device connected with AnyNet+ but the screen goes black as well. The adapter worked on GB Roms, Unnamed/Unoriginal to be exact. Will try out PhoneBricker.

Hey mate, I am using MHL to HDMI and I don't have any problem. I am using shostock 2.2.4 and once I connect the MHL adapert the TV mirrors the screen and if I play any videos it identifies and plays in full HD. Not sure what your mean by RCA cable there, so do you have RCA to HDMI cable and use that cable to connect to MHL adapter?
Same Thing
I am having the same problem with the same identical adapter. Running identical roms as you both. Are you on the lastest versio of ICS Shostock Saxa? Maybe there was a fix in the latest, however I did not see it n the changelog. Maybe we just have bad adapters and Jive's just happens to work. Mine used to work nicely with GB.

I havent updated to ShoStock 2.2.5 but I read in another thread that it could be a kernal issue so I switched to 3.0.30 SIYAH v3.2b5 mswap+ but still no luck, my television screen is still black, the only difference that I noticed was when i unplug the adapter the phone didnt freeze.

Sorry for the late reply RCA is the brand of the TV. Nothing fancy a standard HD Television.
I just updated to shostock 2.2.6.. will see if I get time to test the tv out today and get back to you guys.
Hey guys just tested now. Its working fine... I am using 2.2.6 and its working fine...
Make sure you connect the power cable to the mhl adapter without that it won't work

Even after the update to ShoStock 2.2.6 I still get a black screen instead of the TV mirroring the phone. I tried several different power adapters, 2 of them were the original i777 adapter. Im thinking that the mhl adapter is DOA. Im going to try to return it or exchange it for a different one.
I was using the same menotek mhl adapter you were and coming up with the same results. So I went on amazon and ordered the samsung one. Today it arrived and mhl to hdmi is now working on my phone.
yea i definitely will be sending mine back this week. I dont mind spending a couple extra bucks on the samsung adapter.
Anyone else have an MHL cable not working with the Note 2?i just bought one it connects shows picture plays sound, then cycles through resolutions until it shows again, rinses and repeats. I don't get it, checked settings (there really aren't any) and everything seems ok. Any suggestions? I also tried connecting and restarting, connecting phone first/last still same crap.. No bueno

I have the official Samsung 11 pin MHL cable and it works perfectly fine every time. Don't really understand what is going wrong for you, but if you bought a 3rd party cable based on my experience in the past with a Galaxy Nexus and 3rd party cables I know this has a negative effect on usage.

Are you running a stock ROM? If you're running CM that's where your problem will be, CM doesn't have HDMI support on any device.
If you're running stock and a generic MHL to HDMI adapter doesn't work then Sony may have a proprietary adapter that you have to use like with Samsung devices.
Please post a link to the one you bought.
