Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me solve my problem. The issue is that when I plug my M HL cable into my HDTV the image comes out sideways, flickers, and looks terrible with lots of snow. The interesting thing is that this didn't happen to me on a stock rom. But now I'm running CM 10 dgungdum style and the problem has occurred. A couple of details: it doesn't say HDMI at the top when I plug it in ( Though it used to When it worked before) Also it seems to be something to do with CM 10 itself because if I reboot the phone with the MHL cable plugged in it starts with the normal display and the CM logo is not sideways but once the operating system starts the lock screen appears and immediately flips sideways on my phone and also on my TV. So I think the ROM has some kind of setting that auto flips the display when the MHL is plugged in but the problem is that I can't find an option to reverse this default. Any help is greatly appreciated.

HDMI is out on cm10 ROMs. That's why you are getting those weird screen displays.

First my phone won't charge when plugged into an outlet, but it will charge when connected to my computer. Any ideas?
second i am running pocketcm and when i open my keyboard to type a text the keyboard on the screen automatically opens and takes up the majority of the screen, any way to disable it preferably only when keyboard is open.
thanks in advance
does'nt sound like a software problem to me, you might have a devective home charger.

As far as the PocketCM goes...I had similar problems with on older versoin I was using. I found a updated version and the problem went away. Here is the CAB I'm using...
When I got my Laptop Dock I was using CM7 pre-beta 4. Just to see what (if anything) would come up, I plugged my phone in. The phone display showed on the Laptop Dock screen: Landscape and incorrectly rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and quite small (not filling the screen vertically or horizontally). The track pad worked.
Might there be a way to rotate and alter the resolution of the HDMI output for "simply" using the laptop dock as an Android interface? (To be thorough with the [Q], what possible solutions are there?)
what happened was HDMI mirroring, which doesn't work in landscape mode (sideways like you're asking)
top men are working on it, just be patient
Understood. I suppose I should have made the connection. Thank you for the reply, I will patiently await the solution of these top men.
I probably know this may be a hardware issue, but wondering if anyone has found a remedy--did a search and cannot seem to find if anyone is experiencing the same problem(s).
Bought used SGS2 that had Cognition 1.6 on it, Flashed Checkrom HD, Flashed back to stock JI3 w/ new bootloader and left un-rooted.
-Screen turns on after screen timeout (15 seconds or 30 seconds)
-Changed to pin unlock--same thing--turns on and remains on
-Screen won't go black/back to screen timeout
-If i push the power button, screen turns off, then after about 20 seconds or so, screen turns back on and stays on
All reboots remain the same, pulled battery, remains the same--screen comes back on. Completely drains the battery
Any ideas? ????
I'm afraid i don't have a warranty and i've already tried contacting this pitiful seller...
***********
Update: 12/1/11
- Replaced USB Flex cable purchased from ebay, but it was version 2.1 instead of 2.2 that i replaced
- Issues of screen randomly staying on is for the most part, gone, except i've woken up to the screen being on a couple times w/ a text message (and screen stayed on)
- Cannot connect to USB via download mode anymore
- Cannot connect to PC (states unrecognized)
- I get random "Back button" presses while using an App or the browser--sometimes multiple times where it goes back to the home screen
- Charging is slow and only reporting "Charging USB"
- Purchased another one from a different Ebay supplier--hopefully, it's version 2.2
*********
Update: 12/12/11
- Replaced with 2.2 revision flex cable from ebay seller yqmama
- Cleaned flex cable connections on main PCB with electronics cleaner
- Charging is now saying AC when plugged in
- Download mode and Recovery via USB work flawlessly
- No other problems seem to be apparent, except the back button went crazy once since replacement
- Seems that the phone is now ready for daily use
My guess would be a rogue app causing it. Have you checked what's waking the phone? Something like BetterBatteryStats should be able to help you pinpoint it, if that is indeed the cause.
If that's not it, at any point have you tried factory resetting the phone?
If you're using JuiceDefender, make very sure you disable the timeout function. It's known to turn on screen by itself.

I literally have no apps installed after i did a factory reset, and i formatted usb storage. I can try betterbatterystats, but i feel like i'm almost at a loss.
Update:
-Installed CM7 nightlies and random screen turning off and on went away, but new problem--capacitive buttons would not work
-Installed CheckRom 3.3.1 and all was going fine 11/15/11
-Installed apps (didn't use TiBackup) from market
-Installed theme from KitchenPro (ICS Domination)
-Added widgets from homescreen (added SamsungWeatherClock--i.e. accuweather)
-Went home, connected via Wifi
-Saw screen turn off and on several times
-Used Watchdog--came up with Event/O and Suspend as acting up
Are these what is causing my screen to wake and stay on sometimes??
updated 1st post w/ findings thus far after replacing USB Flex cable (charge port)
Have a very similar problem as you describe with a water damaged Galaxy S2. I replaced the USB flex cable and it solved the problem I was having with the phone refusing to stay off. However, the screen will not turn off, when I briefly press the power to turn the screen off, it goes off for a second and then it turns back on. I am going to be replacing the home button flex cable when the part arrives. When I open it up to do that, I will be cleaning more parts in hopes I can solve the screen-no-stay-off problem that I'm having.
****UPDATE.
Used a bit more contact cleaner on some of the areas I had overlooked, put it back together and the screen's behaving nicely.
Hi all,
Not sure what I might have done to mess this up but for some reason my HD dock can't detect the proper resolution for my monitor (I have the monitor connected via a DVI to HDMI adapter). It used to work but for some reason has stopped functioning. Now the usual Motorola screen saver (red circle popping around) is distorted and only shows up on 3/4 of the screen. If I try to activate webtop, it goes through the usual loading but the monitor goes black and webtop appears to have loaded (Usual webtop splash screen on the phone appears) but I can't see anything on the screen.
The odd thing is if I take the dock and plug it directly into my TV (no adapter) everything runs fine. So it leads me to think its an issue about the auto detect...
Is there any way to reset this or manually change the resolution to fix this?
Hi i hope everyone is doing great today.
I brought this device a few weeks and worked pretty good. I havent used it for like 2 weeks it was always on sleep mode because i havent turn the tv on for 2 weeks. (it shows like a red light which is sleep mode on the device)
I switch the tv on and then the device with the remote control. It turn on blue indicating it is now on. But for a reason i cant seem to find it the android page on the screen.. it usually just click HDMI1 Or HDMI2 on the tv... like it worked all the times but now i cant see nothing no apps nothing. It has the device on and even if i tried to restart and unpluged and take out the HDMI cable off and back on the device will remain blue as in turn on at straight up even when i plug the cable back in.
So is there a way to fix this or a restart ? i dont no what happenend to the device or what is going on.
Not an issue with the tv...dvd player works... tv works... channels working. But the device shows a blank screen. i tru press the turn off button on the remote control but nothing does to it because there is a blank black screen on tv. I have the device unplug from the wall but even if i turn the power on the back wall the device will always show blue as in its on it is no longer sleep mode.... But still dont see anything on the tv screen for the device to the area which i normally watch. I checked the cables everything seems fine.
The small device has no reset or buttons.. you just have to relie on the remote control instead.
What happened to the device i have no idea... its just shows the device has a blue light at it. When its blue this means the device is turn on.
Since i haven't used the device for 2 weeks it was always on red colour on the device which means (the device is on sleep mode) because im not watching tv)
So what can i do? what do you think what is wrong? Nothing shows on the tv screen for it. But the device has now kept itself on blue light which means its always now ON if i plug the cables... it wont go to sleep mode or anything as in red light but nothing i can do because i dont see anything on the tv screen for this android device
Can you help? thank you

The devie was working pretty much fine and new and worked. When not watching the device went red color mode. But when i turn the device on with the remote control it went blue which emans i have just turn on the device. But i dont see nothing on screen no way for me to restart or anything because theres nothing on the screen on display. Just a blank screen. And no no one has touched the tv what so ever.
I have the same problem. Any solutions yet?
try this, it could be the power issue. unplug the power adapter cable from the device and use the USB port and USB cable for supplying power to the device.
Same issue second box now just frozen tried reset unplugging etc
