MHL adapter bad? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So I just received my Samsung branded mhl adapter and tried to use it but I can't get it to work. I have the HDMI cable plugged in (and it works) I have the original power cable plugged in to the mhl adapter. I plug that into the phone and the most I get is that the phone stops playing sound. The TV sees nothing... I'm sure everything is plugged in right. Does this not work on a dlp TV? Is my adapter bad? Or did the unofficial stock update break it?

Tried another HDMI port? Cable?

Yes and yea.
I fear the update or adapter. My buddy has a et4g. Ill try again at his house with another TV and another phone.

Are you rooted? Did you try flashing another ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

not rooted but did the update.zip for the ek02 update.

Can anyone on ek02 confirm mhl still works?

even worse than I thought. My 2 Mitsubishi dlp TVs don't work for some reason.

Evo 3d power cord

Does anyone know if the power hdmi connector is a mini or micro usb connector? I thought it was a mini usb like the original evo, but if it is also used for hdmi, I am not sure.

The og evo is micro USB as well. The hero was mini USB.

I remember reading that the evo3d is using a "mhl" port that will charge and be HDMI out at the same time, not the micro USB that the evo has.

Phone 2 tv?

Hey XDA..can someone confirm the "t.v. Out" option for galaxy S's? Apparently its only the international models? Will a HDMI via usb cable allow me to link mobile through tv. Ive also read GS's play video through the headphone jack, can rca jacks do the trick? Im lookn to watch my phone movies on the "big screen". Is there an app for this action? Thanxs again. U guys make this easy!

Does gingerbread epic have tv out?

I just found out my van works with tv out (through 3.5mm jack). I know its in developement for froyo, but does gingy support it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Up up
same question
It is a belief that there are too many blocks for it on Froyo but Gingerbread should open it up for use...may not be included in stock GB but who here uses stock..lol?
The service is not commented out in th init.rc for the first time ever..

Nice! So maybe.......
What's so frustrating is that if u look deep into the phone, its active and working. Its almost as if sprint has a block on it not samsung. In addition, if u download pro launcher u can create a shortcut for the tvout settings but it just forcecloses when u try to open. I'm dying for this feature so bad!!!

You know maybe they will finally let it out. Wasn't sprint tv the reason they wonked it for us? Because of the deal they had with the provider of that service or something. I hear they're doing away with it. Or they're gonna start charging for it or something.
Cd's or tapes?

this is correct.
would be so nice to have this. Right now, I can stream to my TV via xbox, but would be much nicer to hook it straight to the TV.
now since i don't have two xbox's I can only stream it to one TV which is meh..

I think u are missing the point, a lot of ppl want it to MIRROR to a tv. What's the point of connecting wireless to tv when u can only watch pictures and videos from ur phone memory. 3.5mm Tvout is so useful that u can connect to ANY tv. Think about it, how many tvs out there don't have RCA inputs????

If I'm not mistaken the support for TV out the Epic has is limited to USB -> HDMI.
I'm not 100% on this, there could also be support for TV out via the headphones jack.
But going by what most phones these days do, I'd say we'll see it via USB->HDMI before we do via 3.5mm headphone jack.

No Dice. MHL (aka mini USB -> HDMI) is a no go. EC05 Syndicate 1.2.
Like the 3.5mm, the usb to hdmi is also running but won't work. If u look deep into phone, u can see that its there but blocked somehow . Its believed to be blocked by sprint
Rumors say gingerbread update might unblock. But ofcourse don't hold your breath for either the update or unblock

MHL / HDMI

I bought MHL + HDMI cable to connect my #galaxynexus to my Samsung tv but it didn't work, I bought it from ebay and it's mark as for #galaxynexus comptable... Or what did I miss? Do I need to do extra configuration? Help please

Did you power the MHL by hooking up a powered micro USB to the female micro USB port?
I didn't understand what you are talking about but I do hook the MHL to the HDMI cable to my pc...
What should I do first?

As well as connecting your phone and TV up, it will require more power. There is a microUSB port on the side of the MHL adapter, plug your charging cable into it.
Oh okay! Thats means I still need to buy an axtra connector/cable to make it work?

And it went too far
If you're still having trouble after you get the charger plugged in, keep this in mind. My GN will only enter MHL mode if I plug the cable in with the phone's screen turned off and the TV already tuned to the correct input. If I plug the cable in with the phone turned on, or switch the TV to the right input after I've plugged it in, it won't work. I have a cheap Chinese cable though. Good luck!
With my Samsung MHL adapter from eBay the wireless LAN stops working immediately when I plug it in... as far as I found a lot of people have that problem :-( :-( I tried several different USB power sources, nothing worked
Sorry for that, was just making fun but it's not funny to, am very sorry...

Thanks, so far so good, mines cost abouts 37€ ( MHL + HDMI cable "5 meters ") and it's working just fine...

[SOLVED] my T989 USB port is dead, but I know what caused it; now it only charges

That means no more Odin, and no more USB drag & drop transfer
tried in CWR mode mount
tried mounting normally
tried on several Win 7 machines (comes up as Unknown device)
tried on several Linux machines (it no longer gets detected)
i'm unable to do USB on the Go anymore, it was able to before
the problem started after i pluged in MHL adapter to HDMI
it still works on HDMI if i plug in the MHL
but, i can't find a way to reverse it
i tried even Wiping Data, Wiping DalviK, and Wiping Cache
i even tried flashing a new ROM in CWR
Dude that sux. It still charge tho? And computer?
Have you tried a different computer?

i know a few guys had similar issues here before about losing USB or it not longer being detected
i just wanted to compare notes, and see if they also had this happened after doing something with he MHL adapter or something else.
yeah, it kinda sucks now, i won't be able to depend on Odin to save me any more

the Note is not stable in Tmo, i can't use it as a phone yet, not reliable enough
i also had the same problem on the Note after trying the HDMI on it
however on the Note i can still do USB on the Go
Yesterday my computer was not reading my device either, but after a reboot it was good to go.

that's definitely not it, as i'm in a computer lab, i have access to over a dozen computers & laptops of all sizes to test, and i pointed that out already on the OP message
try with different usb cables, it might solve that problem.
Did you super wipe? Also, try a USB jig to get into download.

hopefully it's just the cable. Also, if you have spare Nokia CA-101D usb cable, try with that. It might work.

Hopefully, that's what it is. I had the same problem with my Transformer. It would charge, but comps wouldn't recognize it through USB. It was solved by purchasing a new cable.
While not exactly the same, since the Transformer has a proprietary port, it seems to be a problem with integrated charging/data cables being used today. The internal wires that carry the data fail, but the power wires remain functional.

Update
It was indeed the HTC USB cable that decided to quit on me
the faithful servant has been with me since like forever... oh well, at least it still can retire as a charging only cable. (gonna sort out the pins to get it to be detected as AC cable instead of USB csble)
tried the original one from Samsung and another one from BlackBerry and they both work fine, even the cheap generic ones from China

I had the same problem with my HTC cable and I called HTC and they replaced it with another one without asking me to return the old one..I was still under manufacturer warranty.. I called Samsung the other day and asked if my cable died on me will they replace it.. They said yes, but I will have to send in the old one first so they can check it before sending me another one.. See how different company do things..crazy.
