Mhl-Hdmi Video not working , Audio does. I have a Samsung Mhl-Hdmi adapter that works fine on my sensation . On the Galaxy s II I am getting only audio through the cable to my tv , No video at all , no screen mirror.
Anyone else try this on their new SGS2?

Had to reboot Phone but now is working fine , it is a little choppy though like it is loosing frames.

Which one u bought n where did u get it from...im trying to get one too.

Thank u

How do you get it to work? When I plug it in from phone to tv, it doesn't do anything or show anything? Is there some app or option I need to turn on?

Is your TV 1080P? Cos i think our phones might only support 1080P...but i could be wrong.

Plug your phone charger into the side of the MHL adapter...... Right where the micro USB port is......

Try an official samsung one or a brand name one.

Don't want to be Captain Obvious, but you know that the charging cable also needs to be
plugged in?

Is the MHL cable required for USB OTG?

All that I'm interested in is accessing external storage. Would this work?

From what i understand you need to get that Micro-A version not the B version. I THINK

No it does not work.

Won't work either way.
That and most cable will work with Galaxy S2 but it won't work with Epic 4G Touch Galaxy S2. Although they are close they are not the same phone.

USB OTG is disabled on the Sprint version of the SGSII. MHL is only to split the USB data from the HDMI stream.

Do you guys know when it'll be enabled? I asked in a development thread for ICS to see if it could be added in the new kernel they are developing for it and got flamed by Jerdog.
I would love to have this as I use it a lot on my Xoom.

It is a really nice feature I use on the zoom as well. It would be nice to get it enabled.
Can anyone verify if the MHL cable works out of the car dock?

Just bought one, one of the guys in the reviews for it said that he bought it for the Galaxy Nexus and it works, but you need to have a 3rd-party app installed, which someone here at XDA already made last week and put it into the market. I should have it sometime next week.

OTG Cable problem

I am having this problem I can mount everything from my mouse to my usb. I bought an sd card adapter and put my sd card in the adapter, but didn't work. I know the adapter is not broken because I have tried it on my computer and it worked just fine

It's not damaged at all. The weird thing my observations are that there is not enought power getting to the adaptor. When I plug the adaptor in my friends Galaxy nexus running on stock rom the light on the adaptor lights up just fine, but mine just blinks for like a fraction of a second and doesn't connect. I'm also thinking it's the rom or it needs a new kernal ???

You need to check whether the kernel you're on supports otg.

Weird.. I've only seen power with hard drives that use the USB power. Can you post the exact make model of the adapter? Also, do you have a powered USB hub you could try? As in connect hub to phone, plug adapter into hub. That way the adapter most certainly is getting the power needed.
It also might be ROM kernel related.

I have tried everything... Changed the kernal. I literally tried every single kernal. I changed the rom, from jedi mind trick to cm9 stable to koodo. I might just buy a newer one. I tired the usb hub and still not connecting. Thanks for everything btw. I am still looking into this because it's something that I think that needs to be done. Still boggles my mind that it works on the Galaxy Nexus but not that S2

While I haven't encountered any issues with sd adapters on the t989, it sounds like you're having either a power problem or that particular adapter isn't playing nice with your kit. You can rule out power by plugging you usb otg to a powered hub and testing with a high powered device (usb drive for example) and should that work, then trying the adapter. If the adapter works off the hub, it's likely a power problem. If not, the adapter hates you and loathes samsung, and wants you to by a nexus.
While not common, the adapter could be asking for a full 500ma even though it doesn't require it or is having some other isb negotiations headbutt with your gs2.
you can also try popping open a console terminal and checking what's happening under the hood. you should be able to see in the output of dmesg when you connect the adapter and what the kernel is saying about it, which will help point you in the right direction.

Does the Startech.com SLMPT2HD Slimport adapter work with the Nexus 7 FHD?

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying the Startech.com SLMPT2HD Slimport adapter for connecting my dad's Nexus 7 2nd gen to his HD tv screen via HDMI.
I know that theoretically this should work but I also read that some of the available adapters don't work (well) in practice.
Can anyone on these forums confirm that the SLMPT2HD actually works with the new Nexus 7?
Thanks a bunch,
ries

Well, for anyone interested, I found out that it works fine according to a video review on Amazon.

I just bought this adapter and was able to test it today.
The adapter doesn't work for me either :crying:
I have an MHL adapter that I tried with my GNex to test out the HDMI cable and that's fine so I don't know why it wouldn't work.
The only thing I could think of is maybe my TV's don't support 1080p60 coming out of the device??? I don't really buy into that though as both my TV's say they do support that.

I also contacted Startech.com and got a quick and friendly reply that didn't help me much:
The SLMPT2HD adapter is designed to work with any device that are MyDP enabled.* The adapter has been tested on a number of phones and tablets I just can't speak to this specific one.* If there was known*issues with the Google/Asus Nexus 7 (2013) we most likely wouldn't have released it.

The response I got early this morning
Thank you for your inquiry!
There is no specific configuration of our SLMPT2HD required for functionality, it works as an external signal format converter.
have you confirmed with the documentation for your device that it utilizes a Slimport, and the steps required to enable external monitor output on that device?
have you tested our SLMPT2HD with a different model output device?
If you have any further questions, please contact us.

Yep... I wouldn't recommend buying this. I have to pay to return it, and they won't refund the money to me until they've tested it and if they say it isn't defective then no refund. Waste of $30 unless I can figure out how to get it to work on the N7FHD

Can vouch for $29 Analogix Slimport adapter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DWGB6CU/) which I originally bought for the Nexus 4 vs the unknown Startech SLMPT2HD at $39.

The signal level for Slimport on the Nexus7 FHD is very low compared with the Nexus 4 and 5. Most Slimport adapters will not work with the Nexus 7 FHD unless specifically designed for it. Startech.com's SLMPT2HD has been re-worked to be compatible with the Nexus7 FHD low signal levels. The new stock is available now, so any new adapters ordered going forward will work with the Nexus7.
