Hey, sixcarnage here,
I recently bought an mhl cable on ebay. It glitches up and blanks out on the TV screen, but then I tried turning the wifi off and it seemed normal. Also the phone doesn't charge during...but I'm Ok with that, but still.
I currently am running a senseless rom. Blackout Mongoose with the custom kernel. ATT.
Do you have any issues? This is not the official cable by the way.

There is no where near enough power running through HDMI to charge your phone. Are you using an official MHL cable or a 3rd party one?
Third party
I have this problem with my galaxy nexus with Samsung and third party mhl adapters, ITN works fine in airplane mode or with WiFi on.... The best I can tell is when data is sent over 3g or 4g it causes the signal to cut out... I have tried different Roms and kernals.

It's prob going to be a quality issue guys. I've bought many 3rd party accessories for my phone. Most have either not worked or not worked as advertised.

Hi guys, I got an oem MHL to hdmi cable from eBay, one specifically for the galaxy s3.
I received it today and while the phone seems to detect it's attached to a screen (audio set to hdmi out, landscape mode), the two devices I can connect it to both register nothing connected.
Is there something missing? The first device is a monitor using a hdmi to dvi adapter, the second is a 720p tv with hdmi in. The tv allows me to select the hdmi it's plugged into but says there's no signal.
Does anyone have any ideas?

maybe the adapter does not work with the S3 after all.
Maybe you will find some solution in the accessories threat or here
Can you post up the link to the advert you bought it from?

Thanks. I think it should work, the item description is pretty clear.. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/viewitem?itemId=200829302467
I might see if I can test it on some more tvs. There was a suggestion it may not work with a 720p device.
Sad thing is, they're all Samsung screens.
Are you powering the device from another USB port.
All MHL adapters and cables for the Galaxy S2/3 need to be powered by an external USB port.

Ok it looks like it might be an issue with the ROM, using an AOKP build of JB 4.1.2
Apparently it doesn't support the TV out - shame, I thought I'd finally found the ROM I was going to stick with
Does anyone know a way of getting it working under AOKP?
sorry man, but only on stock roms you can use tv-out. At least for now, lets hope the sources promised for november include mhl tv-out propietary driver from samsung.

Thanks man - I might go to omega's stock-based rom and see if I can get any love with that. Cheers for the help everyone
Edit: For anyone finding this by search later, using a stock ROM does fix the issue. God I can't wait to go back to AOKP though, stock is terrible
I gotta bring this up again... i had same issues when i was on aokp roms. But now.. 4 samsung roms and numerous kernels later i cant get the MHL to work!

If you get the cheap ones there's a huge chance of it not working just from looking through feedback on the Internet. Just spend a bit extra and get a samsung one.
Ive tried mine on many different roms and kernels and it always works.
P.s has anyone managed to get netflix in 16.9 widescreen using the mhl adaptor on jelly bean?:crying:
It's the samsungs 1, that i bought from my carrier. And adapter is fine since my friend got it work with note 2 :/

Have you guys get this MHL feature enabled on AOKP roms?
I'm currently running Slimbean 4.2.2 and I have no MHL

My hdmi port isn't working anymore and google tells me its a motherboard issue and that I should send it in,
however I am rooted with cm10. Should I unroot and flash stock before I sent it in?

That's what i thought of first (even though it would've been weird for it to just stop working), so I tried another rom but it still didn't work.
When I plug it in, I no longer get the hdmi notification also the cable feels loose in the port.
Just wanted to know if I should unroot and stuff for the rma (if it goes through).
Try flashing different rom
Edit: you just answered it. If you are u locked you'll probably have to pay for the repair...

i had same issue, but the fault was with the micro-hdmi to hdmi adapter...
try another adapter or a direct cable, before you RMA or before you install new rom
I just recently bought a new ONN micro HDMI cable from Walmart. When I fist used it, all was fine. Watched movies, listened to music, all was working great. But when I tried to use it hours later, no sound was displayed. After figgiting with the phone and tv a bit ( resetting both, and trying different settings), the sound worked for a bit untill I turned off my phone screen and hasnt worked since. I tried the phone and cable into two other HDTV's, an Emerson and a Vizio... I tried searching for a solution, but all I can find is people who's never got their sound to work. even at first use. And none had the Droid Razr, only Razr maxx
Details about devices
Flashed Droid Razr to Cricket. (not maxx)
50" LED TOSHIBA TELEVISION, 50L2200U
Micro Hdmi cable by ONN
Please help as soon as possible. Thanks
Edit:
When in first use, the phone muted itself and only played through TV, but now it plays sound through phone, and no dound coming through TV.

Seems like a rom issue. But i may be wrong
Well
Lets try this
Switch HDMI Ports
Try a different cable (if you have one)
Try to close all your other sound apps (music player etcs) when connecting the phone to the TV.
If nothing helps, well...i thknk you have any boot manager (safestrap, bmm)...
Try a different rom and see what happens

Yea.. I a noob with roms, I have a general understanding but my phone was flashed to cricket before I bought it. It has gingerbread 2.3.6... how would I go about safely flashing to different roms? I would like to keep all apps. And stay with my current provider..

Yo !
PM me and i'll tell you how to flash roms
There are some tutorials here - but i think that explaining things in a more friendly way will be nice
Right now its 2:19 p.m. here. I'm at work and i leave at 8 p.m.
if you want, you can talk to me trough facebook or msn and then we can go step-by-step on flashing - how 'bout that
or you can contact me on whatsapp (my phone number is on my profile)
Its pretty simple - just never forget to backup ur cid
also...i had the same problem of yours this weekend. But i've found out it was related to hw/sw decoding (using mx player) - switching between 'em and the audio returned. But it may be a rom problem, i don't know...it was very weird to be honest.
problem solved, flashed to a new ROM and HDMI worked perfect.. Now to fine a ROM I like.

I've tried a few different things for my s-off E4G LTE, but I can't figure out how to get mhl working with full mirroring, anyone have any luck with this?
I've tried Meanbean 3.09, works sometimes, but only the status bar is visible.Works fully when playing a video from gallery/youtube. When it doesn't work I get a black output to the tv, and digital looking non-responsiveness from the phones screen, usually followed by a power cycle to get it working again. I have gotten the phones screen to show up normal after a few presses of the power button, but it still didn't mirror to the TV correctly.
Recently, I tried using ViperRom 3.1.7, but alas the same exact situation, digital looking feedback on the touch screen, and blue output to the TV only showing the status bar.
I tried flashing other kernels while using both roms, and they didn't fix anything. If you have it working, what combinations of roms/kernels are you using?
Also the adapter is fine, I've used it with an s2 to achieve full mirroring, and I have been able to play videos full screen to the TV with this phone, once.
Thanks for your time.
Mirroring works fine for me on CM.

Which version? 10.1?
Edit: Looking at the thread for cm10.1, it states mhl doesn't work. Please do explain how you have it working on aosp, as thats what I prefer to use anyway.

I have tried two different cables, every app on the market, thumb drives, powered harddrives, sd card adapter, and even a mouse and keyboard I cannot for the life of me get my phone to recognize any of them. I am on tranquil Rom with crpalmers latest kernel. I have also tried zorbos's kernel. Am I missing something stupidly simple?
I'm on ecliptic with crpalmers kernel, and its working fine for me. I think OTG compatibility is in the kernel, but the ROM has to be able to look to the kernel for it. Try a different ROM or kernel setup.

so I tried your setup and it did not work. I went and got a powered usb hub and tried it with that and it did not work. I plugged my otg cable into my buddys S3 and it worked immediately lol. maybe its just not meant for me
Might have a bum cable. I use a samsung cable I made into a otg and never have any issues. With 4.3 and cepalmers kernel. Also used tranquil with crpalmers and beastmode and they work flawless with the cable I converted. So problem might be with your cable.
StickMount??? It works for me... look it up in the play store.
I never had to use stickmount on my DNA.
Never had a problem here. I think there are Samsung specific otg cables just like there are Samsung mhl cables.
