I have read plenty of people who have the same problem. When I plug in the phone to the tv via hdmi the phone freezes and resets. I have not found a solution for this. It seems like it is really hit and miss. Any help?
anyone? please?
I'm not sure if this helps but I had the same issue and switched to another HDMI port on my TV and it worked flawlessly.. I notice that the port i was trying to use shows up on the TV menu as HDMI/DVI for some reason even though it is clearly NOT a DVI port
Your cable is probably bad. Mine started to freeze up after working fine for two weeks. I checked the cable and the cord was coming apart at the top by the full hdmi connector.
Two new monoprice cables I got since have been flawless. The first was an amzer from ebay.
hi all i got my self a mhl cable a few week ago and kept losing signal to my tv with it so i got a replacement and this one does the same... basicly i get the old style white noice screen at random when trying to use my phone and tv.. ps also their is alot of color banding with this mhl i have...
please please please help me, where can i buy one that will be problem free,
ps on a side note... can multiple bluetooth devices be connected at once.. ie i have a mini rii keyboard and the touch mouse is a pain to use so if i used that with normal bluetooth mouse would both function ok side by side?
I cant help you about the MHL adapter. Sorry.
Regarding Bluetooth devices. I use a BT keyboard, Microsoft BT mouse and a headset at the same time and it is working without any problems.
regarding your mhl cable
is your data (3G) turned on?
if its on then turn it off and try connecting your device to your lcd again
i had the same problem and i thought it was from the cable
but i read somewhere that if the data (3G) is on it will cause the disconnection because of the search for better signal and reconnecting to it
hope this helps you as it did for me
read something new about the 3G may affect the signal to TV. Mine also kinda weird - my MHL adaptor can output my Note screen to my home Panasonic 720p LCD TV and Samsung 27" 1920x1020 LCD monitor with no problem (but it looks much smoother on the 720p when zooming in and out) but it can't work with my in-law's Panasonic Full HD LCD TV. After connected, no signal at all.
yeah you really can see the color banding when its on a big screen. its there on the small display too, just harder to see.
did i hear right that with ics this will go away as they will switch to a high color depth always?
Thought I would ask the obvious question. Have you actually plugged in the phone charger to the side port of the MHL cable when using the MHL to output to the television.
Try connecting the charger to the MHL cable and then to TV and then to phone. Cause otg cable gives errors when done the other way around, so guessing MHL might give similar problems if you don't connect them in the proper sequence.
hiall thankyou so much for info.. ill try tonight..
@Teflanzy - ill try this 3g thing as i use wifi at home so this will not effect my usage
@bubblesmoney - yes mte it dont work at all without power cable, its required on the leads i have
as for colour banding im happy now i know its not just me and ics might solve this
hi all after much effort of testing i still get the signal loss even with 3g turned off is their any other solutions as the guy i got it from sent me a 3rd cable and all of them do the same
i had same issue.
solution is buy original, or very close to original samsung cable, i bought one and no more drops.

If it's visible on a TV then at least it's 100% certainly not a Note screen issue but purely a software problem.

Hii everybody. In a big problem here. I have a galaxy s2. I9100.
Got a MHL cable from ebay. Supposed to be official SAMSUNG adaptor.
http://www.ebay.in/itm/170773709311?...ht_2211wt_1139
And a high speed universal HDMI cable.
Now my problem is that when I connect this HDMI cable to the MHL and to the Charger and the mobile, it doesn't work the way it is supposed to be.
It connects fine to my TV(Toshiba HDTV) and mirrors the display, but only for few seconds. The screen on the TV goes completely blacked out, while the display on mobile is fine. Now I have to disconnect the MHL and connect again to the mobile to get the mirroring on the TV back. Again after few minutes the same happens. I can see the mobile charging via USB and even though the display drops on the TV, the TV is still in the HDMI mode(a black screen). Coz when I disconnect the MHL completely the screen on TV turns blue(indicating no input).
So this shud not be the case of loose connection.
Now can anybody help me diagnose the problem here.
Is it the MHL?
Is it the HDMI cable.(Although HDMI works perfectly with my laptop and TV)?
Is it the Charger? (Using samsung's box charger)
Is it the mobile, hardware or firmware? (on DDKL1 official release)
i have this problem like screen goes black out for a few sec at certain time on my toshiba regza. but its working fine on my phlilps tv. maybe you can try turning your cell into flight mode and see if it will help a certain? some said data may cause the interupt of it.

Thanks a lot dude. It worked.
But can't understand the relation between 3G and HDMI..
Anyways you made my day.
CHEERS.
I'm glad I read up on this before purchasing. I saw some fake Samsung versions, MIChn, I assume the OEM is MIKor? Please confirm if you bought the original.
I am also having problems with my MHL adaptor. I purchased one for £6.60 from eBay.
I contacted the seller as it was not working and they kindly sent me a second one, however that is also not working.
I have tried turning USB debugging on and off but it makes no difference. All that happens is it says USB connected and then almost immediately says USB disconnected.
I tried changing the order of how I plug the cable in to the power and HDMI and phone but still the same thing happens.
I previously had an HTC Desire HD so I am used to being able to select from options when a USB is connected!
Has anyone else managed to get one of the cheap MHL cables to work or will I have to purchase an official one?
Thanks for your help!
P.S. Hi, I'm new here!
mhl issue solved thanks for the solution

I bought an MHL adapter from amazon and i connected it to my tv and it doesn`t work. I connected it to power, Ive rebooted my phone several times and still couldn't get it to work.
Any suggestions?

hmmm if everything is plugged in.. it should be detected right away... could it be a rom or kernel issue? undervolted kernel might cause problems because welll not enough volts obviously. a couple weeks back using faux kernel.. i couldn't use anything below -25 volts to keep a steady display.
I've had the same problem running non stock roms and kernels. My buddy has a stock SGS2 tried it worked, tried mine nothing. Try going back to stock or at least a stock rom. I just ordered my MHL adapter and are currently running Mr. X stock rom with darkside kernel, when i get my shipment ill report back. Hope this helps.
S...
Ive tried going back to the stock rom but had no luck.
My tv seems to recognize that something is plugged in, it just wont display properly. I reset the settings on my tv but that didnt work either. Hmmmm

As simple as turning on & off the tv.
I bought a cheap mlh adapter and a cheap hdmi cable from ebay and had neither the phone or the tv recognize each other. The solution was to plug in the power to the mlh adapter first, then plug it into the phone second; then turn the TV on with it switched to the correct hdmi source and finally, plug the hdmi cable into the mlh adapter. But sometimes I still have to sleep(standby screen) the phone and wake it before it work even with this method. I tried plugging and unplugging these components a few different ways but this was the one that work for me and has continued to work every time. Hope this helps.
Try plugging everything in, then rebooting your phone while it's hooked up to your tv.
Ive tried everything i can think of. Mabey the adapter is bad.

get the monoprice adapter, good and inexpensive.. unless you got it from there.. probably bad adapter lol
Easy to check
I would try plugging the power cord into the mlh adapter then into your phone, if you get power to the phone it might suggest that your hdmi cable is the culprit. If you get power to your sgs2 then I would try switching out the hdmi cable with another to rule out the cable as the bad egg. If both the mlh adapter and the cable test good then one last test would be to switching out which hdmi port you are using by changing the cable to another hdmi port. The last check is unlikely but I am just trying to cover all the bases.
This is just my two cents but sending back products tend to increase cost and adds up quickly. I tend to try every available avenue before returning products. The comment about Monoprice selling this adapter is right on, as this where i got mine for dirt cheap. Good luck with what ever you decide.
need any and all the help i can
I have a samsung galaxy s infuse 4g ... and a sony brava tv... i have bought 2 mhl adapters and 2 hdmi cables .. hooked them up in as many orders as possible as well as turning the phone off and on but still nothing does anyone have any sugestions to help make this work ???
Sounds crazy but if all else fails.
You could use the og adapter. I found on samsungs website http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EIA2UHUNBEGSTA
And i check if your phone the Infuse was compatible which it is. Last ditch effort take the phone and the adapters to your retail store and see if they can get them to work. Sorry, if these suggestions are not better than my above comments, but I can't think of any other measures to try. Hope you get the problem solved.

Did you plug power into the adapter? It needs a power source, so plug your charger into the side of it ...
Yes i hooked it up the same way as the youtube video and i also called samsung tech suport and they said that what i was doing it should work...do you think my luck is that bad that i bought 2 faulty mhl adapters??

Have you tried a different HDMI cable? Or a different TV or Input on that TV?
I have a sneeking suspision that the 2 mhl adapters that i bought are junk possibly.. Does anyone think that it could be because my phone is from rogers (canada) or would they be the same thing as he usa version ?? Because i have noticed that on youtube of the unboxing of my model phone it has a mhl suplied in the box..
Hey thankyou for your sugestions but im having a hard time finding the Samsung mhl adapter in Canada apparently we dont get in im the box with the phone because of some law... Do you think the American website would send to Canada?
Mine did not come with an MHL and I am in the states, I found one on ebay ....
The 2 i have now are from ebay and dont work.. Is yours a actual Samsung one?

Whenever I go to plug it in it constantly goes off and on...Im guessing something is jacked with the port bc whenever I have the phone at a certain angle it works but then once I move the phone bam it stops working and the output to TV goes black...It cant be anything with the HDMI cable bc Ive tried three, & all three work on my XBOX360...Trying to find a tutorial for the HDMI port. The speaker looks pretty easy to swap out.

so the HDMI port is a little jacked up? also i managed to get my speaker working without a replacement, all you need is a needle, and it should work, i could post a video if you like, and if it doesnt work yyou can just go ahead and by another.
If you can post a video on how to fix it with the needle that would be great. I ordered one any ways they are cheap.

It doesn't work. Thought installing a new hdmi port could fix it to like new condition. Also, I thought the method to fix the speaker is by using a magnet? Your video talks about using a pin?

I used my method, and it worked fine. You can try it if you like. Also, does the little HDMI logo pop-up on the notification bar, sometimes I have problems getting it to work also, a reboot helps, go into your settings and make sure it's on automatic. And make sure whatever you're plugging it into is searching for signal

At times it works but the cord has to be angled a certain way. If you dont have it setup exactly at the right angle you lose signal....The only way I can get it to work is by holding the phone & HDMI cord a certain way...I know it has something to do with the port bc Ive tried the HDMI cord on an XBOX and it works fine...I just got the HDMI port in the mail today but I dont have any video on how to remove & install a new one.

I was thinking it was the cord but. The hdmi should be the same way as removing the charger port. You'll need to open the phone and solder very carefully. I recommend taking this to a phone store, make sure it's not a retail store like Verizon it something, like a cheap repair place. Tell them you have the part and they will only charge labor, ask how much the labor costs, mine cost$10. That's the only way I know how to fix that hdmi port

Well are there any other tests I can do to figure out if its the HDMI port or cord? I always thought it was the port bc even my charger port is somewhat loose & if I dont angle a cord correctly it wont charge my phone..

maybe trying another cord? if its doing it on BOTH charger port and hdmi then thats just wierd.. but try another cord and if the same problem maybe both ports got loose, it happens.
Ok I got the HDMI to work it was the HDMI cord that was causing the problem. I used a MOTORola HDMI cord & it worked perfectly! But now I was getting slow downs with my ROM & decided to wipe it to get rid of unneeded apps and data. Well now when I go use the HDMI app it doesnt work!! It says cable undetected but it obviously shows on the tv that its getting a signal...wthhh!?
My S9 works when connected to bluetooth but the screen is black. I can't use the screen at all. How can I retrieve the data on my phone without paying almost $300 to repair the screen?

get a MHL cable and if your digitizer still works, you should be able to navigate thru the menus and be able to bluetooth or wifi all your data off of it. if your digitizer is broken, use the MHL and a OTG cable for mouse/keyboard control

no problem man
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=s9+mhl&i=mobile&ref=nb_sb_noss
those are the cables, and yep, youre correct. the list in the link has everything from a hub style connector (should need something that heavy duty) to the samsung branded one and everything in between. Remember that if you buy one that isnt the samsung one, then compatibility issues may arise. You could just buy it, use it (gingerly and carefully) then return it. Kinda shady, i know, but yeah.

take a phone charger brick, plug the usb into it and the other end into the mhl adapter. Plug the usb type c into the phone and an hdmi cable to the mhl adapter and tv. MHL adapters need power to work
