I have aZ2 tab and a Z3 comact phone, both are fully up to date with Lollipop. On the tab, when I try to use the mhl cable, the tab screen collapses into a very narrow band of picture at the bottom of the screen. I then have to reboot and the picture on the TV and the tab seem fine - for about 10 minutes then there is a high pitched whistle from the tab and it crashes completely. The phone connects without problem but as with the tab, after 10 mins there is the whistle then the crash.
When I bought the cable I didn't realize that there were diferent versions and bought the v 2.0. Could this simply be the problem or are there issues with the firmware?
Thanks

It seems like if I don't use my tab continuously, sometimes the 30-pin connector will stop connecting to things. I won't be able to use the keyboard dock or the charger until I reboot the device. Is this a known issue or do I have a defective Tab 10.1?
Thanks for the help.
Edit: I forgot to add that I was unable to connect to the WiFi yesterday until I rebooted.
I am trying to use my SS GS2 as a living room PC. It is easy enough to connect the MHL to HDMI adapter and connect the phone to a big screen TV. I am then able to use a bluetooth mouse (Microsoft 5000) and keyboard (Microsoft 6000) from my sofa to "use" the phone.
Most apps look ok. What is painful is when I have to enter text or the on screen keyboard pops up, suddenly, 70% of the TV screen is filled with the keyboard or the text box.
Is there a way to disable the pop-up keyboard? Are there apps that "understand" that I am connected to an HDTV and actually output 1920x1080 and stay at that resolution.
Also, is there a way to turn off the phone screen when connected to a TV. I find that because it is on, the phone slowly discharges (1% per 25 minutes) instead of charging. Since I am using bluetooth to control the phone from far away and I can see the UI on the TV, I don't need the screen on.
For example, I like that I can use the Dolphin HD Browser to look at my Facebook page is desktop mode (same view as my PC). It is irritating that the URL is gigantic, and every time I enter text, the UI zooms in, and after the huge text entry box goes away, the UI stays zoomed in.
Thank you in advance for any advice or guidance you can provide.

Hello! I've just bought a case for my Dell Venue (3840) and it has a keyboard built-in with micro usb connector. It's something like this: http://www.tinydeal.com/protective-cover-stand-with-keyboard-for-7-tablet-pc-p-64754.html (The keyboard looks identical, only the outer side is different.)
The problem is, when I connect it to my tablet - it doesn't work. Somebody would say: the keyboard is faulty. It isn't - it works just fine with my Samsung Galaxy Note III.
Is there anything I can do to make it work with the Dell?
Here's USB Host Diagnostics result:

What's your input set to?
Input & language in settings when plugged in? I'd say note 3 is more advanced than these tablets and you might have to change it manually.
Well, it isn't even detected there. When I press Caps Lock or Numlock on the keyboard, LEDs won't even light up.
Hello,
I have similar problem with my Dell Venue 7, when I plug it into the mobile keyboard it will work for few minutes, but then the tablet stops recognizing the keyboard and the keys no longer work. I have to unplug and plug it again it back on to get them to reconnect. How can I fix it so they stay connected all the time?
I bought a Chromecast device. When I tried to setup it, it showed "chromecast..." at the bottom of the screen and after about 3-5 seconds it goes back to the No Signal screen. The Chromecast is connected to a MINI HDMI2AV Adapter that is connected to the RCA port on my TV. Is there a way to fix it?

So, today I bought a Chromecast (2. Gen). At home, I connected it to my TV (Sony Bravia KDL 40EX727) and tried to set up - but without success. All I got was a black screen (nothing appeared at all). At the Chromecast itself, directly after plugging ac power, the status led turns constant organge for about 0.5 sec and then switches to constant white. And that's it.
I started to research and found some points I struggle about:
- Some users reported unresolved issues with Sony TVs. Can I find a list of supported devices somewhere?
- I tried to reset my Chromecast. I followed the instructions (push the reset button while HDMI is plugged in the TV). Actually, nothing happened. The LED keeps on illuminating constantly white (still not blinking). Google's instructions tell me, that it should turn orange (blinking) and after the successfull reset it should return to a white color. So as you see, nothing at all happens.
- I tried all HDMI ports - no difference
- I tried different USB cables and powering it from USB and from AC - no difference
- I tried turning it on without beeing connected and with beeing connected - no difference.
What else to do?
- tomorrow, I will take it to work and connect it the HDMI port and my computers display (unfortunately, I have no second screen with HDMI at home, neither an adapter from DVI to HDMI or something similar..)
Do you have any hints for? Or is my device just broken?
Thanks in advance!
Problem solved: Device was defective. I exchanged it in the store where I bought it for a different one: works like a charm.
