I use a uGreen multi functional adapter for attaching usb memory sticks and HDMI cable for TV use with my G5. It works great apart from the picture breaks up on the TV from time to time mostly when playing video and curiously only when I have a sim inserted and active.
I'm wondering if the adaptor is somehow incompatible with my G5. I have 2 G5's and both have the same problem. When I use the adaptor with my V20 it works perfectly. Or maybe it's a kernel issue which might make it resolvable.
Has anyone had a similar issue and does anyone use any other brand of adaptor that doesn't have this issue?
edit: this is the one I use https://cf1.s3.souqcdn.com/item/2018/05/02/32/73/00/34/item_XL_32730034_131939745.jpg

Just received my MHL adapter. Transfer video just fine, but sound still only comes out of the phone. I could have sworn the Evo 3D was capable fo 5.1 sound via HDMI.
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
I got my MHL adapter from T-mobile.....and it transfers both video and audio just fine.....sound stops coming out of the phone and comes from the tv once connected, I did not have to enter any settings that I recall
Anyone have any ideas what may be wrong here?
I'm using the ACCELL MHL adapter. Plugged into the external power. I can't think of anything I'm doing wrong.
Have you tried a different port on the tv??? Or try the adapter on a different tv to rule out the tv's or the phone. Or it might just be a bad cord.

Sorry to bump up an old thread but I just received my MHL adapter cable (Menotek) and am having the same issue of not getting the audio feed to the TV.
Video works great but no audio no matter what I try.
This is the adapter I bought. Anyone have any thoughts about it? Is it really a piece of junk?

Update:
Went out and purchased a new HDMI cable and now both audio and video work well coming the E3D. Strange since the original cable worked with no problems with my BoxeeBox.
Hey there, i have tried gathering information about this subject and it seems all threads always lead to this announcement:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/06/29/galaxy-s-iii-new-mhl-connector-also-enables-usb-on-go/
Short: Samsung have changed to an 11 Pin-out to enable USB OTG and MHL Hdmi out at the same time. I purchased an original HDTV Adapter (EPL-3FHUBEGSTD) which as far as i can reliably count indeed has about 11 connectors inside the USB connector that goes into the phone.
Now, i can get HDMI out just fine, but ONLY when i also connect the MHL adapter to a power source (a PC USB Port will do fine), however i have also read, that the phone is able to power the MHL adapter itself but obviously would not be charged then (no surprises there). This does not work however.
Further, connecting a USB OTG cable to the micro usb port on the MHL adapter does nothing. No notification and no devices connecting. No power either, since the LED on my USB Hub does not light up as it should. Connecting any devices to the hub does nothing to change that situation. If i leave out the MHL adapter and connect the USB OTG cable directly to the phone, everything works perfectly. I have tried this with 2 different OTG cables so they are not the problem.
This is an original genuine HDTV Adapter for our phones, which according to that post should be working fine with USB OTG.
AFAIK, this topic --does-- come up more frequently now as i can find a few more discussions about it, albeit none really helpful:

That wiki entry is the most interesting link as it definitely states that using MHL and USB OTG simultaneously is possible and is also the reason why the 5 pin layout was changed to an 11 Pin layout.
Looking forward to reading your replies!
the ability to use MHL and OTG simultaneously would give the S3 so much more purpose. It is powerful enough to replace a desktop computer used only for light stuff like browsing and watching videos, and even simple gaming. If samsung made a dock like the one for the motorola atrix I'm convinced they will broaden their target group. The atrix got everything right with this but is inferior hardware wise. I love the idea of a one device for everything concept. Unfortunately it doesn't rhyme very well with the growth society.
Love the MHL and the OTG is even better only after I got the correct cables as the cables changed on S3 to the S2 version, unlimited space for watching films on my phone is now awesome and even better connecting it to to the TV just need a good dock,
is there perhaps any expert advise on this? According to multiple sources it should work but really doesnt. Did i buy the wrong mhl adapter?
I think they will only both work together when being used with an MHL enabled tv. That way the power comes from the tv and the usb on the adapter can be used for the usb-otg cable.

But if i connected the MHL with the s3. Would sound come out of my phone AND my TV or just my TV. If it justs comes out of my TV, then can i hook up my bluetooth headphones and listen to my video or it would not allow me?
Thanks

Ah ok sorry! Afaik you should be able to choose your headphones as primary audio source in the bluetooth settings. I know I can choose what I want to be output to my bluetooth headset, but I don't own an MHL adapter so I don't know about that. Someone with one should be able to try it, and if they don't own a bluetooth headset/pair of headphones they could try with wired ones and see what happens.

I have recently received an MHL connector (5 pin type) and the samsung 11 to 5 pin adapter for it. I can confirm that if I plug my OTG cable into it, and then into my powered USB hub, I can get the MHL to work just fine, both video and audio. The OTG cable powers it just fine, but does NOT allow me to use other devices attached to the USB hub.
I am still researching. I suspect you need to bring all 11 pins off the phone with a splitter of some sort, or possibly wire data lines through the MHL. Probably not with the 5 pin MHL connector and 11 to 5 pin adapter, but with the full 11 pin MHL adapter. I am not up to that level of hardware hacking. I suspect whoever does it first can sell a BUNCH of them!
Oh, and I have a Moto Lapdock for my Raspberry Pi, and would love to hook my S3 to it too!

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the MHL adapter which when connected to either of my TV HDMI ports (which worked with the bionic's micro HDMI cable) gives a white snow pattern. The HDMI cable sign starts and the audio works. I have gone through 2 PNY connectors with identical results and I doubt that the HDMI cable is the problem.

I'm running Hatka's supercharged 2.0.0. but he says he doubts anything in his ROM could cause this and others who have tried his ROM said it didn't affect their mirroring.
Do you know if there's a way I can check whether my MHL connection is working?
Thanks!
From the technical specs phone supports USB OTG and MHL.
Anyone managed to get this working? I tried USB OTG in several ROMs, but did not work for me. Anyone had success with that? What ROM and Hardware you used?
MHL i did not try so far, because i do not have any adapter. But maybe anyone can share experience with that.
Thx and best regards

Yeah I couldn't get MHL to work either. Very disappointed.
I confirm that USB OTG is working, tried on 3 ROMs (all stock ROMs) and worked with 2 adapters. Tried MHL too but with my adapter for LeTv x600 not worked maybe need another adapter or ROM not supporting but CPU (I thinking) support MHL.

I also tried a standard USB-C to HDMI - MHL cable but I didn't get any signal on my HDMI monitor. Just asked Elephone for help but did not get a reply yet.
I have an OTG adapter that is USB C to read sdcards. It works with my 16gb card, but not my 64gb one. The adapter works fine in my Oneplus 2 with the 64gb card, so I'm assuming the p9000 is having issues somewhere along the line.
Maybe your OTG issue is a similar one.

According to the result of the QR code at
http://www.mhltech.org/experience.aspx
the P9000 is not MHL enabled. I just got negative results with an Aukey USB-C to HDMI dongle with a Sony Bravia TV. The P9000 non-official specs mention MHL capability. Can't know if it's the P9000, the dongle or the TV leading to no display.
I bought the ADAM elements CASA H01 USB Type-C to HDMI Adapter Gold, I tried connecting HDMI to my S8, S8 says HDMI connected but the TV has no response. I am sure the TV works with HDMI as I tested my XBOX on it. Is there anyway to make it work? Or is my adapter broken?
you can try things like switching the tv off/on and the phone off/on whilst its connected. sometimes, not often, that will help
it sounds like hdmi handshake issues. basically a compatibility problem between the phone and the tv.
Thank you for the suggestion, I tried but still doesn't work. If it's a problem between the phone and tv, should I try the adapter on other tv?
I used Choetech USB C to HDMI 60HZ cable to my S8. Everything worked well. https://www.amazon.com/CHOETECH-Thunderbolt-Compatible-MacBook-ChromeBook/dp/B06XP9NV4G/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1495422430&sr=8-5&keywords=choetech+HDMI
I had some HDCP issues when I tried connecting my S8 to a capture device, but that was due to a poor quality cable.
Make sure your device can read the HDMI signal coming from the phone too. It appears to send 1080p or higher, so if your device only understands 720p (some smaller TVs are like this) it might not be able to see the signal from your phone.
I'm having same issue hubbies works mine won't same cord and tv???
Any idea what's going on I just factory reset my phone and still doesn't work
I just got an hdmi to USB c adapter today as well and I first connected it it did not recognize my phone either. The thing that seamed to do the trick was attaching the adapter to my phone first without the hdmi or power cord, then powercord then connecting the hdmi cord and all works well
still not repaired
4 repair invoices 3 months and still not repaired currently on hold with Samsung .... i'm not impressed as this feature was a huge decision for buying the S8+
i use baseus usb-c to hdmi cable - all work good (but no dex)
I have tried two different usb-c to HDMI cable adapters and can't get neither of them to work. Any ideas thanks
Broken and need help
I have a Ugreen Adapter for usb-c to HDMI cable, it worked very well
On several tvs, it WAS working here in Mexico on my ATVIO tv, then I did some phone cleanup and it STOPPED, is there a special application or setting that I've uninstalled????, I'm lost without YouTube on my tv LOL , cant find info anywhere and I swear I installed something on my phone to get it working like 7 months ago in Dallas LOL
biggest thing iv found with EVERY usb type C connectivity issue, POCKET LINT. its as simple as using a sewing needle or safety pin to CAREFULLY take the pocket lint out of the type C port on your device, there are 30 individual pins in there, and they ALL need to make a good connection to your adapter. brand does not matter, if it works with phone A phone B will figure it out (unless your phone simply doesnt support mhl adapters)
Same problem - Galaxy S8+ with Choetech USB-C to HDMI adapter. Worked a couple of months ago not working now. Wife's phone (exactly the same) work a with adapter and HDMI cable. Cleaned, powered on/off, reset phone, nothing works. So frustrating. Any ideas?
I was using my S8+ with my TV. After a couple updates ( prior to Pie) no longer worked. Please don't suggest turning things on / off or factory reset.... The cord is fine. My phone just now updated to Pie, I thought great, maybe it will work again..... nope... I've contacted Samsung, same BS runaround. Samsung - must be a compatibility issue, Me - it was working, Samsung - must be the cord, buy a new one, Me - already did, tried two different brands, Samsung - was one of them Samsung, Me - ......., Samsung - try factory reset, Me -....... by this time I know I'm screwed. There WAS something to do with an update. (And yes prior to the Pie update I did a factory re-set with no results). From the comments on this post appears no one has a solution....
