MHL and videos - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I got my MHL adapter yesterday. Of course I had to try it out immediately, but I couldn't get videos (youtube and galaray videos) on my TV, I only hear the sound coming through my TV, games work fine and everything else does work fine and yes I plugged it into a usb to wall adapter (running leaked ICS rom)

Just to make sure it is not the leaked version that is the problem, I would backup and try flashing stock.

I would almost guarantee you that its cuz of the ics leak rom. No I don't have proof and I guess there's no way to be 100% sure but the leak has issues with autorotation which could also contribute to your problem, amongst other things. I also remember reading some issues with video on youtube specifically. Far from stable atm.

Or just another rom that's confirmed working with mhl, presumably all of them.

Got HDMI cable. Dreams shattered =(

Only thing you can do with this piece of wire is play baseline-h264/MP4 and view a photo slideshow and even that works only when it wants. Where's the cyanogen's promise of full UI output to HDMI (his ROM doesnt even *support* HDMI, lol)? Why advertise watching videos on your big TV if you can't play anything (AVI/MKV/etc) besides crappy baseline mp4 even though they all play perfectly fine on-screen using vPlayer/RockPlayer... the only good thing I can say about this cable is it was just $5, shipping included
Supports HDMI:
Stock Video Player
Stock Gallery (slideshow only)
Youtube
NHL
Jetflicks (uses stock video player?)
...
So is this with all ROMs? It seems from what I've been reading the HDMI is pretty much useless, is this correct? I was thinking of picking up a cable just to test it out but what's the point if I can't play other types of videos?
And where might I ask did you get your cable from?

Cyanogen doesn't claim that CM supports HDMI output, but that it's a future goal, as is full WiMax support. Learn to read. The biggest problem facing jeagoss (the guy who's doing the dev work on HDMI) is that the EVO's GPU sucks, and overheats whenever he gets mirroring to work.
As for other ROMs? Well, like you saw, just the stock ones have selective video output. The CM team is/will be/has been working on HDMI, it's only a matter of time until they get mirroring and/or a wide selection of video output via HDMI.
With rumbaed post like the OP's is probably the reason cm team hasn't put a rush on it. Why is their name even coming up in this post unless you were asking info about his rom, which the OP clearly was not.
I have a feeling wewon't be seeing a release until the Evo has a successor. They are going to have their hands full with all the new, more powerful phones. We aren't that far away from the next big Sprint launch if there is one.

until CM or maybe some other ROM gets full UI mirroring and/or any-video-format playback on HDMI my cable will be just sitting there collecting dust... until then, i have my fingers crossed that this happens sooner than later

Another ROM won't get it because nobody else is working on it. Everyone else is either satisfied with it not working, or the limited output that Sense has. Jeagoss is pretty much the only person working on this right now, and he just got out of the hospital from what I hear, which is why there hasn't been any updates in a while on the subject.
Besides, like I said before, the EVO's GPU is crap, and the last time Jeagoss got mirroring to work, the phone literally COOKED. If you want an example, plug in your phone, turn on wifi, GPS, bluetooth, WiMax, maximum screen brightness, and run Wardrive while connected to WiMax for about say... 30-60 minutes. You'll feel what "cooking" is like.
Myn's 2.2 RLS5 ROM
I'm using the Sense based Myn's ROM. I have my EVO connected now via a cheap Ebay HDMI cable (like $5 or $6) on my 47" LCD watching videos I downloaded and the video and audio are perfect. In fact the video is even better than basic cable signals coming in through my HDMI connected Tivo.
CM ROMs have never yet been able to support 4G or HDMI. They are in the works so hopefully soon. If you check the Android Development section there is a new Alpha WiMax mod available but is very unstable.
MIUI ROMs are nice but they too do not support 4G or HDMI.
I got a cable for $3 from monoprice

So what type of video files are you watching and what app are you using to watch them? I thought you could only use the stock video player which doesn't support Avi files

You need to use a site that plays the media using the stock HTC media player, and HDMI out will work. Mediamp4.com streams using the stock media player. Depending on the quality of the upload and your internet speed, some of the movies look really good with the HDMI out. It's a matter of finding which sites work with the stock media player and which don't. I'm sure there are plenty more out there.
P.S. Xshare.com works with HDMI out. Nothing shows off how cool your phone is like streaming porn and HDMI-ing that out to the fellas. lol
I believe Youtube videos, the stock media player and the streaming player all output vie the hdmi. It's actually kind of neat at parties to play music videos and watching full length movies that are being streamed from sites like iphonemoviez.
edited OP with a list of known apps that utilize HDMI on our phones. so far i know and have tested 3 (stock video player, gallery's slideshow, and youtube)... are there any apps/functions that can make use of HDMI out?

Updated the OP? Well, there's something you don't see everyday. I had forgotten to mention that the YouTube app works, too. I think that's it, though. I can tell you the Slingplayer app doesn't work. I still love my SlingBox, but I wish the HDMI would work. That would be awesome at work! lol
RockPlayer plays avi and many other files while allowing hdmi output. I think it might be the app you are looking for.

... when playing using Hardware Decoder (aka, stock video player's engine). does it do HDMI when using Software Decoder?
I watch NHL games via hdmi out and the NHL app on 4g.
Not HD, but on par with SD.
Nice, ill test, verify, and add it to the list once I get back home... D
driving like a maniac while posting on xda atm, lol
For everyone that wants to play movies with HDMI out go to the market and check out a app called jetflicks the app is 1.99 and you do have to pay 50 a year but its worth the money . You get alot of great shows just go check it out !

[Video demo] Connectivity - USB OTG, MHL, RDP, bluetooth keyboard/mouse/gamepad!

Thought this might interest owners and potential owners:
Incidentally, tried Splashtop after the video over 3G whilst out and about today - amazing! Watched a video with sound - playback was smooth. Hardly any lag via 3G in a reasonable coverage area. Also installed an antivirus to my laptop and did some other useful stuff while I was having a coffee at Bunnings - RDP on a 1280x800 screen is awesome.
I should be receiving a USB DAC in the coming week too, so will update as to whether that works or not...
UPDATE: USB DACs do NOT work with the USB OTG feature (as expected). Shame, because the cheapy one I got today sounds amazing compared to my laptop and desktops sound cards! The one I have is a HiFiMAN Express available from here for only $40. Not really for audiophiles, but for those who can appreciate better quality at a fraction of the price these are very good (I think Gizmodo linked to an audiophile review of them where he said they were 70% as good as the sound put out my a $400 sound card, not bad for what the HiFiMAN costs).

sorry,
can you tell me what is the model of the gamepad you use?
Thanks.
Thank you very much for this post. This pretty much seals the deal for me. I will be grabbing one soon.
After watching your video, it looks like I need to find me a nice 20"-23" LED HDMI monitor to go with my Note.
Thank you for this awesome video.
Disappointed to the fact that USB hubs don't work, specially because someone in the forum answered me to this same question saying "yes"
In fact my question was if a SB keyboard and a USB mouse can work together using a USB hub.
Could you please confirm this case?
Thnks!

Hey there, sorry if it wasn't clear in the video - the hub itself works fine, its just that using the hubs external power source to power portable HDDs that the Note can't supply enough power to on its own doesn't work (it does in the SGSII). I presume that KB and Mouse would work together with a hub, but unfortunately I can't confirm as I don't own models that are compatible with the Note (or the SGSII).
If anyone in Auckland has some that are compatible I'd love to try this out for people.

I can confirm that Keyboard and Mouse together work well on SGS2 using powered USB hubs, however its very unstable and sometimes freezes the phone. Hope it becomes better with ICS.
Do you mean that external HDD's can be powered by SGS2? I never thought its possible, seems I need to test that again as my HDD is NTFS formatted so wasn't recognized the last time I tried.

No, the SGSII can't supply external HDDs - I was saying that they do work with the SGSII when connected to a hub that has it's own power supply (that doesn't seem to work in the Note however...).
I don't own a hub but I was able to use a 120 gb external 2.5" USB hdd on the note with external power.
The hdd came with a y cable for additional power supply. I just used the note charger to supply power.
I had to format the hdd with fat32 of course. Win7 wouldn't do it, not with GUI and not on command line.
A app did it http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm.
Another thing was to make 1080p movies playable from the fat32 hdd. I used mkvtoolnix to split the movie into 4gb files.
https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/
With diceplayer I was able to play them without any problems.
What resolution does your laptop run at? When I installed splashtop (phone version), I get set to 1024x720 resolution (looks crappy), while my home PC is 1600x1200. I wonder if splashtop HD would allow me to use the native resolution of my PC (1600x1200)? Any way to install HD apps on the Note?
I set my laptop to run at the same resolution as Splashtop when I'm not at home (otherwise it runs in 1080p).
Don't worry, Splashtop are working on a release version for HD phones (probably just an update to the phone Splashtop) and it'll be available soon - I've been in contact with them recently.

Not that I'm aware of as yet, some talented dev here needs to work it out for us!

Thanks for this thread. Very good information.
But I think it's a bit annoying that it's not 'real' upscaled HD, but just the resolution of the Note (1280x800) being outputted to the screen.
I think Splashtop technically looks very good. But I don't like the security - it seems there is not any encryption in the software, not even the passwords!
What bandwidth does Splashtop require over a 3G connection to be stable? And how intelligent is the streamer to figure out which quality to stream in, in order to get the optimal dynamic stream without lag/pauses ?

Not sure what bandwidth it requires over 3G for stability, I was in a reasonable reception area at the times I've used it over 3G - may have been the amount of bandwidth on offer but the experience was really great with minimal lag (bad upload for my PC at home is the rate limiting step here).
Must be some other Splashtop users here who can chime in?

Yes, they do, tried one today. Some USB mice also work, will try and connect both with the hub when I get home and see how that goes.
Will also revisit HDD connectivity too, as I have a second note Rooted with CF Root - possible that the drives weren't working because of Netchips kernel (in the same way that WiFi tether was broken).
Great video
Iwas surfing around for a page that ensures this device has definitely tv-out feature. I could not be sure for it, cause at most of the pages promoting galaxy note, it is not being said exactly..
Anyway, found here, and watched your video. now I want a galaxy note even 10 times more..
Thanks man, great job..

No more HDMI after the ICS update

Unfortunately after the succesful ICS update i can't connect my G9 to my TV via HDMI anymore.
Checked the cable, checked the TV - everything's fine.
Contacted Archos support:
"No known error, pull the plug at the G9 and reinsert it multiple times!"
Doesn't work - got the information from about 10-15 other german users that they've got the same problem so i informed Archos about that.
Let's see if there will be a fix!
Hi,
With me is the exact opposite... in honeycomb the hdmi would freeze after a few seconds and now in ICS it seems to work... i didn't get to watch a full movie yet but it seems ok
Well until now it seems like only G9 of the first batch that are sold in germany are affected.

@jipee296 Where are you from?
@cyberfux im from the Philippines. i dont know where did the store i bought this g9 get it from...
No panic.
I thought the same with my 101G9. Plugged in the cable in both TV and tablet. Then I activated the screen on the tablet and nothing showed on the TV.
Try this then: with the screen of your tablet still active, unplug the cable and plug it back in. Chances are it will work now. It did in my case.

USB devices not being recognized by tablet

Hello everyone, I just recently got this the 2014 note 10.1 tablet as my first Android device/tablet after much research. I've been liking the device so far and everything it can do compared to my iPhone, but I'm having difficulties getting USB devices to work.
I purchased an OTG adapter from Amazon, and when I connect it to the tablet I get a message on my tablet that reads "USB Connector detected," however, any USB device that I've tried to plug in so far won't be detected by the tablet. I first tried my 32GB flash drive and the moment I connect it the flash drive's indicator light would light up for an instant and then disappear. The next thing I tried was a USB mouse and nothing happened. Then I tried a large external HDD I have (USB powered) and when I plugged it in to the OTG adapter it would actually power the device on, but the tablet wouldn't recognize it. Lastly I tried a USB xbox 360 controller (which is actually the most important thing I want to get working on the tablet, so that I can play emulators) and just like the flash drive, the indicator light on the controller lights up for a split-second and then disappears the moment I plug it in.
Do you know if this is just some kind of a software problem with these new tablets? Are you all able to get your USB devices to work fine out of the box on your 2014 10.1? Or perhaps do you think I have some kind of defected hardware (e.g. the OTG cable or even the tablet itself).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I used an OTG with a 32GB flash drive with mine the other day and watched some videos without issue but the drive is formatted fat32.
Try restarting the tablet & see if it works then.
call edgepsh
I've of course tried restarting the tablet many times, plugging the OTG cable and the USB device in first before restarting, etc. but to no avail.
I'm not sure how the flash drive I tried to use is formatted, but I also tried a USB mouse and a Xbox 360 controller. Those devices should just work out of the box am I right?
Wow I used to restart my old 10.1 & it would work. The new 10.1 seems to be plagued with problems.

Not sure what you mean by plagued with problems. Out of the box it was bit laggy but after the updates it is a very good tablet. I have been lucky as I do not have any build quality issues but all tablets seem to have those at first.

Ok here you go
I have been pulling my hair out with this. The OTG works fine with my S3, but I cannot get it to work correctly with the Note 10.1. Do you have last year's model or the new 2014? My S3 is rooted but my tablet is not. Does that matter? FYI I'm wanting to use a wired X360 (Microsoft version, not third party) controller to play games on the epsxe Playstation emulator. I also have the pay version of USB/BT Joystick Pro from the app store. It correctly identifies the controller model and it can be enabled as an input device. Then it does NOT show up as selectable inside the game itself. I thought it might be the emulator software, but again the same setup works fine on the phone. I'm stuck.

How to enable Miracast and Alt mode on pixel 3a xl?

So im pretty pissed with google for removing the ability, cause i really love the desktop experience of the phone as a small laptop that i can carry anywhere with just an hdmi to usb-c and a wireless bluetooth keyboard.
I bought a cromecast (not the best buy of my life) ,and it not working for my needs.
-The sound only comes from the external screen.And it seem there is no easy way to make ur phone the sound output.
-cromecast 3 needs internet to work,that means if u dont have stable wifi you cannot use it at all,if u have a decent wifi connection its still has a hard time connecting,and it cripples other peoples wifi signal.
-I cannot use an hdmi to usb-c to cast my screen.And then have my bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Really bad move from google, but im asking here the community if they know about a mod to fix most of this stuff?Any help would be appriciated at this point.Is there a magisk mod or a .build way to fix the miracast and usb tethering ,in order for me to be able to use the cable?
I just replied to the thread above this one that there is a Magisk Module to enable Miracast for Pixel devices but I have not tried it. I only know of it because it's in magisk managers download section..

Hey that's my video!! Thanks for sharing it here. I just want to clarify that after testing the old Diamond USB 2.0 adapter (model# BVU195) that I used in the video I did discover that the video output got really jerky when there was a lot of full screen movement going on. I don't know if it's because it's the slow USB 2.0 connection or older DisplayLink graphics chipset. But I did end up buying a newer USB-C powered DisplayLink Certified ASUS MB169B+ Portable monitor and the video output was smooth at full screen on it.
