If you turn off the screen, the screen doesn't show up on the TV or monitor. Either way, you have to have you phone plugged in to use the adapter anyway (At least the Samsung one makes you have it plugged in)
Yeah. "Extended" screens not allowed? Maybe the hardware only allows for duplicating screen.

Yeah its a drag because i dont even need the sceen to imput commands since i use a ps3 controler to control it.

Every HDMI output I've seen does this. Even on my G2x with a dedicated HDMI port. My Asus Transformer does this too. Kinda sucks on battery. Not only are you running a PSx emulator, running a bluetooth controller, using MHL, but also forced to run with the screen on chomping up the battery.
I guess it is just the way they are wired up.

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!

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?

Btw I'm using a custom rom AOkP build27

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...
Thanks guys, now am extremely enjoying my gnex

Could i have a link that shows which bluetooth dongle works for you?
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using xda app-developers app
So I keep reading, a lot, that otg and dongle work, but then nobody shows how or what brand...
Does it work or are all of these posts saying its works just repeating what they have read?
[I really dont think people should be posting answers in an FAQ if they are just repeating others words]
I have looked and looked and I can not find anything beyond the same reply: "OTG cable and dongle"
If someone can share a link/thread that shows actual success with a Bluetooth dongle and results that would be great!
Thanks!

It doesn't work, there's no driver support in any Kf ROM for any type of Bluetooth dongle.
These posters have all read it doesn't work, they just refuse to believe it.
I have heard that people have claimed success with dongle

I said that the only way it will work is with an otg cable and a Bluetooth dongle. You still do need drivers for it to work.

People are getting confused here, and that's understandable.
Before Bluetooth was around and usable on PCs, you used to be able to buy keyboards with an adapter that would sit in the USB port. They would only work with that specific keyboard and nothing else. They were proprietary and use the standard USB drivers apparently - Which is why the guy who is using the dongle and keyboard in the video is able to do so.
Bluetooth on the other hand is totally different, and while you need the dongle, you also need the drivers. But I think we've come far enough that no one is going to write them.
Crazy story but my nexus started having this crazy charging issue which spread into a USB issue no matter the computer they would all say could not recognize This device ..I thought my phone was through because it was the international version therefore I'd have to get in contact with another country to get this resolved *sidenote I tried mobile Odin and made my phone sort of unusable for a while * ..after much debate I figured I could fix this myself ..scouring the internet seeing tons of people with the same problem I decided to repair this because it was not software and it was not gunk inside the port ..so I ordered the part and saw how relatively easy it was to repair it was ridiculously simple and here I was going to pay someone to fix it lol...thanks google and Samsung for simplicity..that being said ill fix other peoples problem if anyone has it hit me up anytime

Looking to get an mhl adapter. I've read that you can't shut off the phones screen while using the adapter. Is this true? Has anyone found a hack or app for it? Thanks guys!

Correct, I do not believe you can use MHL while the screen is off unfortunately, and I do not think there are any workarounds
