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! It did work like 6months ago when i was on a sammy rom, but ever since I flashed the aokp rom once I can't get the cable work again :/ any ideas? My friend just tested the cable on note2 and the cable is fine. Pls help?

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 :/

Good news for galaxy tab 2 users, both p3100 and p3113. I found an OTG cable which is working like charm and its very cheap too.
I bought this from ebay= http://www.ebay.com/itm/30070135874...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_875wt_1063
This includes
OTG Cable
Normal Data Cable
Damn Cheap and fast shipping
My p3100 (Indian) is running on stock firmware, i only tried pen drive and its working awesome.
I dont know about custom rom , but i am sure custom rom will let me do more with my OTG Cable.
Update: Pen Drive Working on stock rooted rom too, Screenshot attached
You mean the same one that I mentioned on page 2 of this thread. Any reason we have 2-3 threads for OTG cables?
@imnuts
I am trying to keep a clean thread for OTG , that are 100% tested. For all Tab 2 Models.

could the tab recognize nrfs format or need fat32 ?
or what is the format option that we have to do for flash drives to be recognized by tabs by using this otg cable ?

The dock connector got stuck in my GalaxyTab 2, 7 with this cable you recommended. I pulled it out with some tweezers and superglued it back and now I works ok. It still feels pretty snug in there compared to the usb cable the Tab came with. I will be ordering a different one just to be on the safe side.
Really?

I can't tell you how many times I've searched for things and not found them so I appreciate them being around multiple times. If they're around too many times, just delete them or move them. The whole looking down on people tone is slightly nauseating.

I get the "feeling sick" when people point out the rules over and over but learning to search is the key to finding any answer...I used to struggle to search but now find my answers easily most times.
Its really not that big of an issue in an accessory forum but in the dev forums seeing the same question 100's of times in a thread is torture when your reading through them...makes it time consuming for devs to respond to issues and generally makes you hate on people who do it everywhere else...

I just ordered my USB OTG Cable today. For those that don't know what it means, it stands for USB On-The-Go. Basically, it allows you to read files from a portable flash drive straight from your phone. This will only work with a compatable kernel and since we have an ICS Source the developers said it was already enabled within the kernel.
This will be my first time to have ever used one and I was just wondering the pros and cons of having something like this.
I need some feed back~~
well from my POV these are my pros and cons...
PROS:
Extra space (whatever you can get that hooks up to usb, 2tb!!)
CONS:
Lugging around the extra crap
You have a good con list ziggy46..lol
I was concerned about that as well. But I have a 500gb portable external hard drive and it has tons of crap that I can probably watch or listen to on my phone. I can't shove everything on my 32gb sdcard. My 1T sits on my desk for my wife's photography thing she does.
My friend has an OTG cable and he uses his usb mouse to control his phone.
It's pretty cool but really gimmicky.
Hmmm...interesting. Thanks for the tip
if your otg cable works out good for you let us know. i might buy one and get a 2tb usb hdd.
btw, if things are fomatted in NTFS you might need to make a script for them to mount to the phone...
HTC doesn't support USB OTG in general. It will require a kernel hack. It didn't work in GB. I am not sure about ICS.
From what kozmick mentioned in his kernel thread it was enabled in the kernel. Im hoping it works if not then I hope it works on the N7 or my wife's SGS2.

There are things enabled in ics kernel that are not in gb kernel. 2 way call recording is one example.

I still have my OTG cable from my Nokia N8. I wonder if it will work..
Normally USB otg won't work on an HTC device. According to faux its something about the USB stack.
Ok. So I FINALLY got my USB-OTG Cable and even with the enabeled kernel it does not work. Kinda bummed but the part was cheap so its not a major loss. It works on ky wife's SGS2 and I read that it will work on the Idolian tablet I just ordered so I'm cool with that. I'll try and sell the other 3 that I won't need.

Just wondering, for the usb otg on the sgs2, did you need to connect the ext hd with power source? Or is the sgs2 able to power the ext hd?
It was able to power it just fine. I was just using a 2GB flash drive to test and you can see the led light come on. Not sure how well it could keep the charge up tho.

MHL is a technology that enables connecting smartphone with mhl and tv through mhl adapter that is micro usb to hdmi adapter.

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'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.
