Is anyone else having issues with the phone detecting an MHL adapter?
At first when I plugged the phone in with an MHL adapter it would work. After a couple minutes later, the picture would go out and TV would show that nothing is connected. After multiple restarts, plugs and unplugs, the phone would not detect anything at all, it would just charge. The only way I was able to get it to work is to factory reset the phone. Once that was done it would work but would have the same issue all over again.
Any tips on getting this to work?
Thanks

A few months ago I plugged my gn into the pc and nothing happened. The pc use to recognize it and i would transfer files ect. now nothing. I have turned off usb fast charge and it still doesnt work. I also just purchased a samsung MHL and it doesnt work either. I had it plugged in and turned on NFL mobile app and it said (error tv out plugged in) so the phone knows it is there but i get nothing out to the tv. yes I have the power plugged into the device. The phone screen does go into side view as soon as I plug it in but nothing shows up on the tv. Im wondering if something is wrong with my phone or if there is a setting im not aware of since both of these are not working.
Im running aokp jb 3 and faux kernel. I would appreciate any help with these issues.

Try flashing a different kernel for ****'s and giggles. I haven't used MHL with faux yet but I know it works on LeanKernel. Just a shot in the dark.
~~~~There is no spoon~~~~
even i am facing the same issue. i have stock jb version on my galaxy nexus (intl version) and when i connect the MHL cable, the screen rotates side ways but nothing gets displayed on TV. let me know if you have tried flashing with a different kernel. Appreciate your help.
So, I got back this weekend and realized that the data connection over USB cables stopped working, even in recovery(PhilZ) mode.
Last weekend it was working fine, and throughout the week it was kept turned off with no disturbances.
ADB doesn't detect the phone.
Power is supplied normally, so the phone still charges. Computer plays the USB detected sound when plugging in/out.
Tried different cables, different computer, and verified that while it works normally on my One m8, it does not on my HOX.
On SlimKat rom, stock kernel.
Any help, guys? I'm really hoping it's not a hardware problem.
Has anyone seen this? It started a few weeks ago.
I use the AFTV at night.. I turn on the TV which is connected via HDMI. The TV will just be a blue screen. The power light on the AFTV will be off.. I can hit a button on the remote, and the power light will come on.. but still no video.. Nothing I can do will kick the AFTV to get it to show video until I unplug power and restart it.
From there, it will operate just fine.. until it sits idle for too long, the power management kicks in, and it wont wake up again.. back to the cycle..
I poked around the settings etc.. I didnt see anything related to sleep mode.. I have screensaver turned off.
Very strange..
Ideas anyone?

If possible hook it up to another TV. I think it might be an hdmi handshake issue. If it is you can try different hdmi cables and different ports. If you dont have another tv then turn off your tv with aftv working. Wait a short time and turn on the tv. See if the issue pops up again.

I think you are on to it. I did some more testing.. Last night I got the blue screen on the TV.. Instead of powering down the AFTV, I unplugged and re-plugged the HDMI and video came in. Its strange this suddenly started happening.. I am not sure what I can do about it.

Unusual it just started happening...are you sure you didnt switch hdmi cables or the port? Could be the latest firmware update but its doubtful because others would probably be complaining about it, and I cant think of why any update at this stage would impact cec.

I agree that is very strange.. I didnt change cables or ports.. but now that I know its an HDMI issue, I will swap some cables or something and see if it makes a difference. There really isnt anything else I can do.. On the tv, switching to another hdmi and coming back doesnt help.. I have to physically unplug the hdmi and plug it back in..
This issue has to do with HDCP and started with the 51.1.6.1 software update. See here: http://www.aftvnews.com/recent-fire-tv-software-updates-causing-blank-screen-issues-related-to-hdcp/
HDCP issues may also increase when the HDMI connection is done in a chain for e.g. with an amplifier between box and TV. The cause is often here that the amp´s do not pass through the HDCP handshake to the TV.

I just read the thread on aftvnews. It definitely seems to be my issue. I swapped to a different cable and it appears to have fixed it. The thread thought maybe the issue was fixed with 51.1.6_3_user_516012020 .. but that is the version I have and the date for the install is Aug 20..
Anyway its a tricky issue.. I guess if you get things working.. dont touch anything !..
Hello dear.
I have a problem with my p601,
I cant connected my tablet to PC.
When i connected, just charging and no any connection.. In odin or storage not show a device, adb not connected...
And when i used a charger show an red stroke on battery icon. And charging is very slowly, during night only 50%.
I'm root my device, install twrp, and install cyanogenmod, but nothing change.
Now whats your idea? How i can fix this issue?
This may be an obvious question but have you tried a different cable or charger? I always found running on stock ROM that charging was an issue unless I powered it down. I have used a 12W Crapple charger and that seems to work ok but charging has never been an endearing part of the this tab.
So in Odin you it doesn't work? Could you have some dirt or contaminants in the USB port, start with the obvious, change the cable, use a different usb on the pc or try another pc altogether.
I had same problem, i noticed that the usb port was loosen little bit, i had to open the tablet apply small pressure with plier to afjust the usb port,,,, and now it's perfect.
I have an S22 with Stock Android and bought Gamesir X2 to play XBOX Cloud and Retroarch games with it.
For some reason I decided to buy the USB-C version over the Bluetooth (I thought I was neat to be able to charge the phone while playing and also less input lag due to BT delays).
Thing is, gamepad arrived, I rushed to plug it in and found out nothing happened. Gamepad blue light stays blinking (its supposed to stay blu when connected) and the phone doesnt even detects anything.
This is supposed to be a simple OTG gamepad, so should be plug-n-play.
I reached to Samsung about 'how do I enable OTG to use my gamepad' and the answer was 'OTG is enabled by default'
I also reached out to Gamesir, they told me to try press G+S buttons on the pad while connected, but nothing happened
There's a Gamesir app that is suppsed to be used to detect it (and also map the gamepad on some touch screen games) but doesnt work for me
I also found some guy on youtube claiming I should enable ADB debug and set USB default to 'File transfer'. Doesnt work either
Anyone having the same issue?
Anyone having a USB-C Gamepad working?
Any ideas on what to try out to get it working?
Thanks in advance
I've recently run into a similar issue however on a S23+. The device I'm trying to use is a Seek CompactPro FF USB-C which uses powered OTG. No need of a cable as it has USB-C built into the device itself.
It didn't work at first, it detected it and tried to open the "Seek Thermal" app which is normal but in the app itself the device was not being detected. Did a ton of searching until finally I found another person having a similar issue where the work around was to plug in the OTG device, then reboot the phone with the device still plugged in.
Give that a try? IMO it shouldn't be like this, and it isn't very well documented anywhere I look...but that worked for me for my device. Did not work any other way. Device works perfectly fine after rebooting phone with it plugged in.

Thanks for your reply 86, tried that but didnt work for me. I saw a couple of videos where the blinking blue light might mean that its not connecting well (its supposed to stay blue) so I guess its something to do with how the cable is connecting. Since Gamesir already told me I have no warranty nor support from them as I bought it on Amazon instead of their site I'm thinking on tearing it appart during the weekend.
If I break it I'll end up with a nice pouch case for my cables (the most expensive pouch ever).
