Mhl cable help? - HTC Droid DNA

Hey, I just bought a mhl cable off amazon with the intentions of using it to play games with my phone on my TV. When I hook the cable all up (HDMI end to my TV, usb to charger, and micro usb to phone) all I get is a notification telling me I'm connected to a video out source.
Also, when I expand the notification I'm told to start a video or slide show to view on an external monitor, which also doesn't work, and all my apps open in landscape even if I'm holding the phone upright.
I'm running newts sense 5 rom too. I actually wanted to post this in his thread but I guess I can't without 10 posts.
Thanks!

You change the input on the tv?

How about trying it on a stock based Rom to see if it works?

I have Viper ROM. I plug in the MHL and HDMI cable and it just automatically mirrors everything to the TV. I don't have to change any settings.

my mhl works on viper but I haven't been able to get it to work on newts rom with any of the kernals so im assuming it just that rom that wont work

Thanks for the replys guys, next time I get the chance I'll load up a different rom and report back if it works or not.

Are you sure the cable you bought is compatible with our device? I have been looking into this also and on radioshack.com and there are different cables for HTC phones and Samsung which is what I needed. Something about the pins in the micro ish.

Yeah, I made sure it was the 5 pin model. I'm thinking it's a software issue like everyone else did. I'll post my results after I test it on a stock based rom. :thumbup:

Alright, so I flashed ViperDNA and as soon as I plugged the mhl cable into my phone everything locked up and I had to do a hard reboot to get it working again. I'm not sure what that's all about, but could someone point me towards a mhl cable that they've personally confirmed works for our phone?

Alright, so I reflashed ViperDNA and then flashed Beastmode 5.0 and now everything's working great. Well except I can't get out of landscape mode while mirroring my phone to the TV but I just figured it was supposed to do that.

No, my phone does everything mirrored. Portrait or landscape.

My phone switches between portrait and landscape as well

I just use the media link and works fine for both roms

yeah this also happens to me but only when im running the beastmode kernel, no matter what rom im on. Changing kernel has worked for me but I would really like to get it working on sense 5. Also a sidenote, I Loose all signals (3g,4g,wifi and gps) randomly while my MHL cable is plugged in. Does this happen to you?

[Q] Mhl not recognized after s-off?

Mhl output not being recognized after s-off. Anyone else with similar issue? Worked fine prior too. Worked with Temp root also. Any idea's?
Are you rooted stock or on a custom rom. If so which rom?

I'm not sure. I'm soff running mags rom and mine is working fine
Apple sucks ballz
I nand back to stock rom, and working. I'm back stepping now to figure out what I did to flub it up in the first place. I had flashed a variety of new roms out. But had wiped each time. I don't think it was the roms, probably some of my own tweaking.
Did you flash custom kernel? That probably did it if so.

Pretty sure you have to give the MHL adaptor a power source for it to work. As in plug the usb into the wall. So you have the hdmi cable to the tv and the usb cable to your AC adaptor.
Tmobile works.just finefor my.3d after.rooted just like its said.u have to.connect power also it.on the side , for it.to work

Do you have a link to that cable?
Mine works fine....even on the dock and off the dock...

Mhl help.

So I just received my new mhl adapter. Any tips for making it work? I have never used one and am looking for what players it works with and possibly what roms it does and doesn't work on.

Only sense 3.6 roms has it running now but Newt is fixing it on Sense 4. The rest have it broken as well, Miui, cm9,..etc.
And it's a great buy, comes very handy if you want to share a video with a room full of people or presentation or some pics or something. I loved it!
And it will broadcast anything on your screen, including the launcher.
Because of the way MHL via USB works, it can't signal the availability of full capacity USB charging. So, the Rezound won't pull more than 500 mA. As a result, your phone will probably end up discharging when using MHL. Make sure it's fully charged before using it for any length of time.
Hmm I just tried it on vigor 360 and it wouldn't work... May have to restore rezrom to boot manager

thunderbolt to jvc hd tv

how do i hook up my thunderbolt to my JVC MODEL LT-40A32 40inch TV
I'm not completely sure but I don't think the thunderbolt contains the necessary hardware or software to hook directly to a TV. Never tried it personally but if you're just trying to do like a usb connection that may work but hdmi mirroring is a no go.

Have you tried stickmount?
Yes I have. I tried stickmount and a few others. Still no dice. I guess it could be a bad otg cable. I have tried several usb drives and still the same result my DNA. But what's puzzling is the fact that it works on my gnex

"unable to charge device""please use the supported charger"
is a normal error message, even with a stock rom
I get the message when I plug my OTG cable in with no USB device attached, but as soon as I plug my USB stick in, it mounts it.
This is using a rooted stock ROM. Cable works in TWRP and in Android.

Note 2 USB Audio with External DAC

I'm trying to use a Fiio E17 USB DAC/Headphone Amp with my Note 2. It does not work with the stock ROM or CM10.2. It does work using USB Recorder Pro but I'd love to have it work natively. Do any of the Note 2 ROMs have native USB audio working?
Did you enable it in settings?
Settings> Accessories check box to use external speakers.
USB audio works great with my car dock on Jellybeans ROM v22 and on stock.
Still not working on any of the 4.3 ROMs yet though.

I'm getting closer Got the dock to be recognized and it tries to route audio. Now instead of playing through phone speaker it just doesn't play at all. Baby steps.

I'm running a 10.2 nightly (4.3) and I don't have a Settings>Accessories check box.
Unfortunately it does not work yet on 4.3, but akellar is working on it for AOKP.
