Hey
I got an mhl compatible receiver (onkyo)
and an mhl compatible phone (i777)
I have an mhl adapter that basically have two inputs - charger and HDMI
isn't the whole point of an mhl compatible appliance is that ther'es no need to connect a charger to the adapter?
does that mean my phone is supposed to be charged over the HDMI cable?
if it's so - it doesn't work.
can anyone plz help?

I believe the MHL adapter needs it's own power to function, that is why you have to have the charger plugged into it. A simple search on google could answer your question.

I just found a MHL cable for the SGS2 on Amazon with Micro-USB to HDMI.
I have a Samsung HDTV bought about a year ago. Now i know that MHL means you can charge as well as view the phone stuff on the screen but MHL TVs have not released yet (i think, and even if they have i wont be getting one anytime soon).
So my question is can i still see the TV out if i use the MHL cable on my older TV? I know it definitely wont charge.
Anyone?? :S
yes you can.
all you need is the adapter from MHL (micro-USB) to HDMI, connect the HDMI to the TV and you are good to go.
the advantage of the original samsung adapter is the ability to connect a power cable to the adaptor and charge the phone while it transmits the picture to the TV.
hope i helped
Thanks mate
For anyone confused, an MHL cable is a Micro USB to HDMI cable - no ifs, no buts, this will transmit HDMI from a compatible MHL port. Nothing else needed (except I believe it must also be connected to power)
Your micro USB port on the bottom of your SGS2 is an MHL/USB port, and will therefore work.
Important to note is that not all micro USB ports are also MHL ports, therefore will not necessarily work on some other micro USB port on a different phone.
Does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy S II will use a 3.5mm to RCA TV out cable like you could on the original Galaxy S?

Hi, tried one of those cable at work (used for the SGS), but didnt worked.
Guess the 3.5mm jack is for audio only. Not sure, just my guess...
A quick google dearch gave me some link, from xda developers site :

Hope it help
ok probably doesn't then, thanks
The SGS2 is one of the first devices to implement the MHL standard. Basically, it repurposes the microUSB connector to provide digital HD video/audio output. This output is translated to HDMI through an external adapter, allowing you to view the SGS2's output on currently available TVs.
With the recently available MHL-to-HDMI adapter, you plug a charger into the adapter (the adapter pulls a little power from the charger, sending the rest to the SGS2), the adapter into the SGS2, and run a HDMI cable from the adapter to an external display (HDTV, monitor, etc.).
has anyone tried using an mhl adapter for hdmi out from the jetstream? what about usb on-the-go?

I have a MHL for my samsung infuse, maybe i will give it a shot later... I am assuming there is some sort of support as the jetstream has a modified microusb connector. It can support a regular microusb cable but it also takes a cable with an extra 5th pin for something... must be some sort of other dock or cables coming out for it.
MHL does work. I used the "universal" MHL adapter that T-Mobile US stores sell and it worked once I plugged in a 1 amp phone charger. MHL adapters require micro USB power in, and I found that less than an amp didn't work. But the HTC Sensation and LG Thrill chargers did the trick. I have a video of it in action in our Jetstream review:
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/tablets/HTC-Jetstream.htm
The device lists USB external storage under the storage applet. But I had no luck using a USB OTG cable (the Motorola Xoom optional cable). It didn't see flash drives, mice or keyboards. I've asked HTC PR about USB host, but it's taking a long time for them to get me an answer.
btw... the MHL adapter that came with my Samsung Infuse also worked with the Jetstream as long as i had the charger plugged into the MHL adapter, couldn't power itself on its own.

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
I've got a new MHL cable and a USB OTG cable in the hope I could plug my MHL into the SGS3, use a powered USB hub connected to the Micro USB(as this requires independent power) on the MHL and then connect a keyboard and mouse into the USB hub, then connect the HDMI to the TV.
For me it doesn't work. I thought this was the whole reason they changed the MHL cable to the new type. Can anyone else confirm?

I dont think Hub will work on the phone, I am not sure....
Anyway GS2 MHL no longer will work on SGS3, Samsung has released seperate MHL for SGS3, which are available in the Market,
I bought it and tested, working fine for me...

i am planning to get the MHL for S3, if i connect it to the TV, are usb drivers needed in order for it to function properly?
thanks in advance

Afaik the S3's MHL-Adapter is self-powered and does no longer rely on an external power source to operate. (Hooray!)

No, that's a pure HDMI adapter and thus Plug&Pray
Make sure to get a MHL adapter for the S3, the adapters for the S2 and other devices are not compatible to the new pin layout.
