I first bought the Samsung brand MHL adapter, and the moment i plugged it into the phone, it simply reboot without displaying anything on the TV. I figured it might be the adapter, so I returned it and bought a 3rd party Menotek adapter only to find the same problem.
The power cable is connected to the adapter, and the adapter to the phone and HDMI cable. I even tried a different power cable, and wall charger and same problem occurs.
Is this a problem with anyone else, one that has a fix? If not I might have to exchange my phone, since this is a feature I really wanted.
Could it be perhaps that the Docomo (Japanese) version uses different electric current that it has to convert, but the adapter can't convert?
i have the exact same problem.
at first i thought it was the cable, so i exchanged for another one... it rebooted.
then i thought maybe it's the tv, so i tried a friend's tv... it rebooted as well.
so i figured it must be the phone. but then since everything else was working perfectly on my phone, i couldn't be bothered to go exchange it... i thought i'd hardly use the mhl if at all. guess you should go exchange yours while you still can though.
I'll contact newegg about it, see if I can get a hassle free exchange.
My biggest guess is that is has something to do with the 110v/220v electrical current that it either doesn't receive enough, or too much, causing it to restart.
I am not sure what a good solution is. At least I am not the only one.
hmm i doubt it's got anything to do with electric currents.
it's my understanding that standard usb power is 5v.
anyways japan uses 110v same as US, and i'm in asia 220v and we're having the same problem.
I had same problem as this but the jelly bean update fixed it....

110/220 is AC, which is converted to DC before it even gets to the usb cord, let alone to the phone. Most chargers will support 110 & 220, so there shouldn't be any issue there.
Are you rooted? Have you tried any other ROMs?

i have the same problem and the jelly bean update doesn't fix this problem, any solutions?
I9250 suffers from defect as well
I have problem. Using i9250 original international version. MHL worked once upon a time, jelly bean didn't fix it, started in 4.0.4, last worked in 4.0.2, dont care about downgrading just to examine, but going back to stock 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 might fix it

Ahh forgot about this thread. Using bigxies deodexed rom got it working for me you can find it in the dev forum here.
I have the same people many people had here. But my S3 was never rooted. I just hadnt time yet . I even checked it in the Download Mode. So my s3 was never rooted so now changed firmware.
Anyway the connection always ends a few seconds later.
Googled for hours could't find any1 with same problem.
Best greetz
Pls help me out fast. If it not works. Ill give it back.
You should have posted in the other thread on this topic, instead of starting a new one.
In my case, my phone was also never rooted - and I have the same problems with one of my 2 TV's (a 37" Toshiba 1080P LED) but not with my 55" LG 1080P LED. The LG works perfectly. I recommend trying it with another TV and seeing if it works.
Ive got an LG. But no other TV is next to me
in which thread should ip ost?

Hi, I am having a slight problem and am at a loss.
First of all, my phone is stock. I bought my OTG cable a few months ago and it worked just fine. I was using it to play games with my PS3 remote. However, with less time on my hands, I put the games aside and with it, I was no longer using my OTG cable.
Whenever I plug in the OTG cable, nothing happens and I don't get a notification that a USB device is connected. I have confirmed that it is not the OTG cable as I have tried it on 3 other phones, all of which responded to the cable connecting.
I am not sure when this problem started happening, but I didn't notice until yesterday when I was trying to use my OTG cable. In addition, when I plug in my phone to my laptop, my phone doesn't give me the option to turn on debugging mode. Again, I don't know when this problem actually began. I mention this because I am not sure if it is relevant to my OTG cable problem. Yes, I have checked and debugging mode is enabled.
I am not sure what to do and I have scoured the web trying to find a solution. Maybe I am searching in the wrong places, or maybe I am not just searching correctly, but I figured that my last option was coming here.
I thank you ahead for your time and hope that a solution can be found. I will be more than happy to provide any more details of needed.

Sounds like a bad USB port. You can replace it yourself, or do a warranty exchange. I don't think it's software related but try factory resetting. Or another ROM.

It sounds similar to what my phone was doing a few days ago. I don't have the OTG, but when I plugged my phone in to the computer, it only went to charge mode and didn't give the USB options, and the computer didn't recognize it at all. I ended up flashing back to stock rooted and it started working again. I flashed CM and then AeonFluxx again and it continued working, so I assume that it was either an app I had installed or something extra I had flashed. Either way, it's working now.
TL;DR Try reflashing before you start tinkering with the hardware, that fixed a similar problem for me.

Alright, thanks guys.
I think I am just going to do a factory reset.
I am able to charge my phone just fine and it connects to the computer just fine as well (Heck, I can do what many others can't....connect to Kies). I have no problems with data transfers either.
So I assume this is a software based problem.
...I may as well root while I am at it....
Haha, I will tinker around a little bit more before I do a factory reset and come back with my results.
Thanks again!
Are you using a kernel with fast charge?
Never mind. You are not rooted so that is not the issue.
Well, it looks like the factory restore didn't solve either issue. So I ended up calling it in and hopefully the replacement phone will work. Gonna have to wait a bit though...GS3's are currently on back order.
Thanks again for the advice though guys! Appreciate it!

HA i had to wait THREE weeks before FINALLY getting my warranty replacement. Oh and then the replacement was just absolute **** so i sent that back. ANd am now waiting for another device. Good luck buddy! Hope you have better experience with this replacement crap then i do!
Hello people, i'm going to tell you something you should know if you are going to buy the Nyko Playpad.
(I'm not trying to discurage you from buying the controller i'm only gonna give you guys some info. Very good info.)
(Also, if i posted this in the wrong place, sorry, i'm new here.)
Anyway, what i was going to tell you is something that happend to me. I bought the controller to use it with my HTC Evo View 4G Tablet.
The controller claims to be compatible with any Android device, as long as it has a version of 3.0 and up, BUT, it won't work on ALL devices. (A guy from Technical Support told me this.)
So my problem is that I am able to pair the control and the tablet, but aren't able to establish a succesfull connection, after pairing the controller, they don't connect like they are suposed to, insted, the light on the controller goes back to flashing slow, I made sure everything was correct, folowed the instructions sevral times, but no luck. Clicking on the device from the list of devices wont work eather, i only get a message saying to press any key on the KEYBOARD to reconnect; pressed the hell out of the buttons sevral times and they still don't connect.
Later on this day today, i call technical support but they wernt much of help, all they told me was that not all devices are compatible, and to try to reset the controller that there is a button to do so and then to try again. I fond the pin hole but theres no botton, so there is no reset botton, nor does it say anywhare how to do so. (the hole doesn't even say "reset" like most holes.
The controller is not defective, i tried it on my friends Galaxy Tab 2 and it worked with no problem at all, it also works perfectly with my iPod 4g.
So what i'm trying to tell you is to do some background research to see if your device will be compatible, and for gods sake, make sure you are on Android 3.0 or above, some people don't even see that. (I forgot to check so myself.)
Here is a list of devices i tried and if they worked or not and a reason:
Verizon Galaxy Tab 7" (Galaxy Tab 1): Not working. Reason: Below Android 3.0
HTC Evo 4G: Not working. Reason: Below Android 3.0
Galaxy Tab 2: Working Perfectly.
iPod 4th Generation (Running IOS 6.1.3 Jailbroken): Works perfectly in iCade mode.
HTC Evo View 4G: Not working: Reason: Pairs but doesn't connect. (Yes I made sure it was running above 3.0, and my tablet is running on 3.1.2)
LG Optimus L9: Not working. Reason: Pairs but doesn't connect. (Didn't check what Android version it was running on, my friend took it away from me befor i could check.)
I also know that it works perfectly on the Galaxy Note II.
Again, im not trying to discurage you from buying it, its one hell of a good controller, only thing is that its kind of small, but you eventually get used to it after the first day.
It would be nice to have a list of comatible devices on their website, or somewhere, in fact, if there is non, we should all make one by saying which device they tried and if it worked or not.
One last thing, if you guys know how to make it work on the HTC Evo View 4G Tablet, please tell me, perferably something not requireing root, I've Googled to death and even made an account here for help and i got no reply... Or at least how to reset the controller.
Hope this was helpful to you people who want to buy the controller, if i made you change your mind about the controller, sorry, but this has to be somewhere to be found and known about. Thanks for taking your time reading this, and if you decide to help on my little connection problem, also thanks.

I don't know, i.don't have an Ouya, but it is Android Powerd if there is a way for them to connect then it might, but honestly, i've never bother to see what the Ouya is cpable of...
I know this thread is kinda old, but I just got one and am having trouble connecting. There is a little pinhole and a button down inside of it. You have to push straight down and you'll be able to feel it.

Whoa sorry for the year late reply, but i actually tried that pinhole thing and didn't fix it, i figured it was just my ex HTC tablet that was not compatible... so i guess just because it was in the 3.0+ or whatever, it doesnt really meen it will work, to this day, i gave the tablet to my little neice, and its still not compatible lol... but i have a Tab 4 7.0 and a Note 2 i use it with cx
I am having tons of issues with Android P and the headphone adapters. When I was running dev preview 1 I had a strange issue where they worked with headphones, but not aux cables. I posted here and no one else was having issues so I just dealt with it for a bit. Then the beta came out and I upgraded. Everything started working again after that and I had no issues for a few days. Then it started acting up again. This time with headphones. It would randomly drop the headphones and start playing out of the speakers. Usually a reconnect or reboot would fix it. Then they just quit all together, nothing I did would make them work at all, headphones or aux. So I reflashed back to Oreo. All worked fine, so I upgraded back to the beta. Once again all was good until a few days and everything quit working again. That is where I currently am now. The other thing of note is that it has charging connected device via USB in the notifications. It seems to me that something changes and it starts seeing the adapters as some sort of USB device and not an audio adapter.
I also have 2 adapters and always test both with the same results. Is anyone else having issues? Could this be a hardware issue? I guess the next step is to go back to Oreo for a while and see if it happens there. Maybe it was just a coincidence that it happened when I upgraded.
I only had the issue on the first Dev preview where my aux cable would not play. On the second beta it is still working perfectly and I've been running it since it came out. I don't use headphones, so I have no tested it. I'd say no it is not a hardware issue and is just due to software issues with the beta. If you are worried about hard ware, go back to stock and see if you have the issue. If not, that will tell you it is the software and issues are expected as it is in beta.
I have tried some more steps. I flashed back to stock by opting out of the beta and it still didn't work. So I flashed back to stock with the factory image and that didn't work either. Now the same thing happens no matter what, it just says its supplying power to the device. I contacted support just to see what I could do about it. They are sending a new dongle to test. I do already have two, but it cant hurt to try another first. I suppose if that still doesn't work, the next step will be a new device.
I'd bet bad USB components. Can you connect to your computer? Bet it's not recognized.
Just got my second replacement for bad port. 1st one was smoking.
Second one behaved like yours.... no headphones or PC connection.

Im in the same boat as you. It's suspicious that a lot of people had the same problem.. I dunno if its a HW problem..
I started to have this problem last night. Very frustrating.

Yeah, it seems like that has started to go too. Tested it and windows says device unrecognized. Still seems to be charging for now.
Frustrating
Ever since the last update it stoped working all together.
This is so frustrating.
