I cant find any info on this.
I tried the Samsung MHL adaptor that a friend used with his SIII, no luck
After googling forever. I cant find if I need a 5pin adapter or just a normal microusb-hdmi, or a microhdmi to hdmi.
Any help would be great.

I don't think the Torque has an HDMI port on it (at least as far as I know, I'm just going off of what PhoneArena said), so you would probably need a MicroUSB to HDMI if anything.

Just like the post says my hdmi works sometimes and most of the time it doesn't. I had it working last night watching nerflix and it just stopped, same thing happened today. I am running a Zone23 Rom and bcblend 02 kernel. The mhl adapter I am using is from T-Mobile. Does this happen to anyone else, is the a solution I can try? I just ordered the htc adapter to try that and I have already switched hdmi cars to see if that was it and it wasn't. Any help I would appreciate.

did you connect the power cable as well?
Yes, I know I didn't mention it but yrs the power cable is attached and working, I guess it was my fault for not clarifying it better, it use to work whenever I plugged it in not it is hit in miss with a mostly miss.

sounds like a loose connection. probablly a faulty hml adaptor.
Also, sometimes when it kind of was acting like it wanted to work it would cut on cut off like someone was flicking a light switch on and off.

Well I ordered a HTC mhl adapter and the same thing happen. So I ended up restoring a rooted stock rom, re-applying all my apps, backing up my new setting, wipeing and re-installing my Zone 2.3.4 ROM and re-applying my new setting and it still didn't work.....LOL
But it now works on my 55 inch vizio but not my 46 inch Sony in my bedroom where I would use it the most.
I don't know what the problem is with the Sony because it use to work flawlessly but now it doesn't even read it. I know its the tv because I have swapped everything else, hdmi cable, charger, and mhl adapter. If anyone knows what may have caused my tv to stop reading my mhl adapters please let me know?

Your TV port probably failed. I know hdmi ports look robust like a usb port but they really aren't.
Well my tv has 5 ports and none of them are working with the mhl adapter but the still work with my DVD player though.

Old thread but I may be able to help others.
I have a generic HML adapter from ebay and I found that you need to connect things in the correct order to make it work reliably. I had the best results following these steps.
1. Connect power to the adapter
2. Connect the adapter to the phone
3. Connect the HDMI cable to the adapter
With the stock rom I found a reboot of the phone between step 2 and 3 sometimes helped but generally it was not needed. With the leedroid rom I using now I've never needed to reboot.
Unfortunately my 52" Samsung LCD (2008) has no audio but my 24" Samsung LED (2011) works perfectly every time. I got audio to work 2x on the 52" but I can't for the life of me figure out how.
Just to further update....
I found a firmware update for my 52" Samsung TV on their website. After applying the update I found the HDMI to slightly more reliable with my audio issues but it still did not correct it 100%. I have audio issues 1 out of 4 times now so by my best guess the TV has to comply with the newer HDMI specs in order to operate with the MHL adapters.
Hopefully this helps someone out there.
Appreciate the tip, so how does one update their tv

Hey guys, I'm sure this has been answered somewhere, and I promise I've used the search but can't find the answer I'm looking for. I just want to know, what is the cheapest way to get HDMI out of the S3? My Xoom has a micro hdmi to HDMI cable that I can use, and I have a USB OTG cable that works with the S3, but to get HDMI out what cables and or adapters do I need? Preferably not overpriced stuff from Samsung. I'm sure there are people in my situation who have managed to find the right combination of cables to get it to work.
Get it from eBay. You'll get it in something 5-7 $

Hi. When I connect the phone to TV with MHL adopter the WiFi stops working. Is anyone having the same problem?

RE:
Could it be temperature? I have read in other threads that the kernel of this device disable some features when it's temperature is getting too hot (like brightness for example).
I'm not sure about Wi-Fi, but I lose cell service.

What MHL adapters are you guys using? I bough one with it does not seem to work, I thought all MHL adapters are the same hence the name.

The most common issue people have is not supplying sufficient power to the adapter. You need to provide external power to the adapter itself. With the box type, there's generally a microusb port on the side for your phone's wall charger. Additionally, some people report the order of connection matters. Try different permutations of connecting adapter power, hdmi to TV, and the phone connection. Finally, some Samsung MHL adapters use a slightly different microusb connector. I'm not sure that even fits in other phones.
Some newer TV's have HDMI ports designated MHL that work with regular microusb to hdmi cables, no external power supply needed, because the port provides 500ma. Check the back of your TV, you might get lucky. It is usually the last HDMI port and will be labeled MHL.

Are there any kind of laptop docks available that would work with it, such as the Motorola's extinct Atrix lapdock, the fabled clambook or something similar on the market?
Cheers
Not that I know of, but if you were looking for a home solution (as opposed to travel), I've really enjoyed a Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse, with an MHL cable into a 23" screen.
Still working on what's the best software to make the most of this (the new Open Office for Android will come in use). And sorry I know I'm not really answering your question.
I'm confident that with the right set of connectors and adapters you could make an atrix lapdock work. It would be kludgy but it would work.

I was just asking a friend about the Atrix Lapdock. I have one sitting here and a friend suggested something that may work.
Im not saying this WILL work since i dont know if the keyboard and trackpad are powered via the usb connecter or are powered by the internal battery, but if its the latter, you might be able to get a female micro usb to usb female adapter and connect a Bluetooth dongle to it and then use an MHL thing to connect to the micro hdmi connector.
I don't currently have any easy means to try this myself and i don't have the patience to find the adapter(s?) to give it a shot. Running on fairly limited funds right now.
Hi,
Does anyone on this forum use their Z2 over MHL?
I was wondering what MHL Cable / Adaptor you would recomend.
I have seen a Sony one, but is is very expensive (£30).
I was wondering what the thoughts on the cheaper ones were.
Thanks
in Advance.
Anyone got any recommendations for this? I too am interested.
Bought this from Maplin today ( for us with my HTC one. Tablet Z and Z2 ) so will report back when I've had time to test

Sorry forgot to post back ( on holiday ). The maplin cable works like a dream but requires power if your tv isn't mhl compliant

I bought two adapters now and will test, but how new does a television have to be to be mhl compatible? Leaving on holiday tomorrow and would like to use my Xperia2 on the TV in the room, any good guesses on if that's a longshot?

I bought this:
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CI42C4S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
which works perfectly but on my TV requires a separate power source for the MHL.
I've been using a Rocketfish MHL adapter for the appradio in the wifey's car until I can get an adequate mirrorcast dongle.
I haven't had any issues with it. It also comes with a 11 pin adapter for newer Samsung devices.
The Samsung branded 5 pin MHL adapters should also work and be found in stores(they had them at my local Bestbuy along with the Rocketfish I bought).
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking to do, but maybe some sort of cast dongle might be a better option.
For streaming I like using chromecast best(there's 3rd party ones that support chromecast/mirrorcast/DLNA/airplay in one unit). The user experience is much nicer with chromecast but you're limited to using apps with cast icons and a wireless network(mirrorcast/dnla don't require this).
For screen mirroring a straight HDMI cable works best but not even Motorola puts HDMI ports on their devices anymore. MHL adapters work for the most part just as well but can have more failure points and compatibility issues. I haven't tried mirrorlink yet(I do have a new appradio that supports mirrorlink as well as HDMI but it's still in the box) but from what I under stand it's not as fast as HDMI and may give noticeable lag.
