I ordered an Amzer Micro HDMI cable for my Evo a few days ago, and it works and all, but if the cable wiggles around a little bit, it disconnects and reconnects shortly after. The cable does feel very loose in the port (much looser than the MicroUSB cables feel in the charge connector).
Has anyone else had this problem with their Evo, or has anyone found a solution (like a different brand of HDMI cable that works better)?
I ordered the same one last week. No word on when it will ship though. I'll let you know if my cable is loose when I get it.
I am having the same problem with the Amzer HDMI cable. I would have to push the cable downwards in order to get the video to play. If I wiggled it or pushed it up, the picture would be lost. I will replace it once I get fed up with the cable.
I don't know about the amazon cable, but I did order the HDMI cable from the same guy who sold the two batteries and wall charger for 10 bucks on eBay. When I played around with the cable it did feel loose. But when I forced the plug into the phone it went in further and made a solid connection.
Don't know if that will work for you guys too
I had this issue with my OEM micro-usb. I bought 6 more USB cables ranging from 3ft - 10ft... they work fine now. Check the actual cable to see if the pins move around, that may be the issue... aka poor construction

I have exactly the same issue with the cable I got from Monoprice. I couldn't hold the phone and move it around as it would intermittently disconnect. But if I set the phone down the connection stayed throughout.
Before you guys get all up in arms I have the "official" HDMI cable from Sprint and it is loose too. Its the socket not the cable. I'm on my second EVO and they were both the same way, loose.
anyone else have this problem? I have the monoprice cable and the connection is flaky. My EVO is only 2 weeks old.
Same thing here with monoprice cables. It isn't 100% the socket though, as my buddy's cable works perfectly fine in my evo. Don't know where he got his, but will find out.

I have the cable from sprint and it is loose too.
Previously my USB port was working fine and mass storage was working correctly. Now I can't connect to my laptop and it says USB Device Not Recognized. I wiped out my laptop and it still doesn't work. I've looked around and nothing seems to solve my problem. I'm on SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.2 and running Windows 7 32-bit. Can anyone solve my problem?
Are you using the stock samsung cable? If so ditch it for anything else. Their stock cable flakes out...

I'm using the stock cable. where would you recommend to get another one?
i have been dealing with this problem for about a week and a half. I never thought it was the USB. I borrowed my brothers blackberry usb cable and it worked like a charm. Thanks.

I have tons laying around from various other devices, any Micro USB should do. If you don't have any from other devices then any place like radio shack, office max/depot, staples, microcenter, bestbuy.... should carry them, probably even walmart and target in the electronics section. You are looking for a micro USB cable.
You don't need anything fancy(expensive) that's gold plated, high speed, etc... Just try to find something that looks a little less flimsy than the one Samsung gave us.
1. Buy this
2. Plug phone into PC
3. ?????
4. CEELLLEEEBRATE GOOD TIMES COME ON!
Just use a different cable. The cable that comes with the phone is a pos.... How i know?? My girlfriend almost threw the phone and the laptop over the window.. when she got tired of being trying she asked me and I just got the cable from my Evo and voila!!! Its working!!!
Also I had issues if it was a case USB and not one directly on the mobo.
I just used my sisters cable and now it works like a charm.
I bought an MHL adapter from amazon and i connected it to my tv and it doesn`t work. I connected it to power, Ive rebooted my phone several times and still couldn't get it to work.
Any suggestions?

hmmm if everything is plugged in.. it should be detected right away... could it be a rom or kernel issue? undervolted kernel might cause problems because welll not enough volts obviously. a couple weeks back using faux kernel.. i couldn't use anything below -25 volts to keep a steady display.
I've had the same problem running non stock roms and kernels. My buddy has a stock SGS2 tried it worked, tried mine nothing. Try going back to stock or at least a stock rom. I just ordered my MHL adapter and are currently running Mr. X stock rom with darkside kernel, when i get my shipment ill report back. Hope this helps.
S...
Ive tried going back to the stock rom but had no luck.
My tv seems to recognize that something is plugged in, it just wont display properly. I reset the settings on my tv but that didnt work either. Hmmmm

As simple as turning on & off the tv.
I bought a cheap mlh adapter and a cheap hdmi cable from ebay and had neither the phone or the tv recognize each other. The solution was to plug in the power to the mlh adapter first, then plug it into the phone second; then turn the TV on with it switched to the correct hdmi source and finally, plug the hdmi cable into the mlh adapter. But sometimes I still have to sleep(standby screen) the phone and wake it before it work even with this method. I tried plugging and unplugging these components a few different ways but this was the one that work for me and has continued to work every time. Hope this helps.
Try plugging everything in, then rebooting your phone while it's hooked up to your tv.
Ive tried everything i can think of. Mabey the adapter is bad.

get the monoprice adapter, good and inexpensive.. unless you got it from there.. probably bad adapter lol
Easy to check
I would try plugging the power cord into the mlh adapter then into your phone, if you get power to the phone it might suggest that your hdmi cable is the culprit. If you get power to your sgs2 then I would try switching out the hdmi cable with another to rule out the cable as the bad egg. If both the mlh adapter and the cable test good then one last test would be to switching out which hdmi port you are using by changing the cable to another hdmi port. The last check is unlikely but I am just trying to cover all the bases.
This is just my two cents but sending back products tend to increase cost and adds up quickly. I tend to try every available avenue before returning products. The comment about Monoprice selling this adapter is right on, as this where i got mine for dirt cheap. Good luck with what ever you decide.
need any and all the help i can
I have a samsung galaxy s infuse 4g ... and a sony brava tv... i have bought 2 mhl adapters and 2 hdmi cables .. hooked them up in as many orders as possible as well as turning the phone off and on but still nothing does anyone have any sugestions to help make this work ???
Sounds crazy but if all else fails.
You could use the og adapter. I found on samsungs website http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EIA2UHUNBEGSTA
And i check if your phone the Infuse was compatible which it is. Last ditch effort take the phone and the adapters to your retail store and see if they can get them to work. Sorry, if these suggestions are not better than my above comments, but I can't think of any other measures to try. Hope you get the problem solved.

Did you plug power into the adapter? It needs a power source, so plug your charger into the side of it ...
Yes i hooked it up the same way as the youtube video and i also called samsung tech suport and they said that what i was doing it should work...do you think my luck is that bad that i bought 2 faulty mhl adapters??

Have you tried a different HDMI cable? Or a different TV or Input on that TV?
I have a sneeking suspision that the 2 mhl adapters that i bought are junk possibly.. Does anyone think that it could be because my phone is from rogers (canada) or would they be the same thing as he usa version ?? Because i have noticed that on youtube of the unboxing of my model phone it has a mhl suplied in the box..
Hey thankyou for your sugestions but im having a hard time finding the Samsung mhl adapter in Canada apparently we dont get in im the box with the phone because of some law... Do you think the American website would send to Canada?
Mine did not come with an MHL and I am in the states, I found one on ebay ....
The 2 i have now are from ebay and dont work.. Is yours a actual Samsung one?

here is the samsung one on ebay that i bought and it works fine. search this item number on ebay. 110821159886
I got a Micro-USB to USB (female) cable form ebay... from China (I didn't know until I chekced later. I usually have the "UK sellers only" option checked).
Anyway, after an eternity, it arrived today. But, it doesn't work when I plug it in. Nothing happens. My Sandisk Cruzer doesn't light up when I plug it in or anything.
I was on the ninphetamin3 Kernel, and I've tried the Siyah kernel, just in case it's the kernel that was limiting functionality... Apparently it's not because it still doesn't work.
It only cost a couple of quid, but is there something I might be missing that I can check before buying another from the UK?

That is not necessarily an OTG cable... did it SAY it was an OTG cable? If not, it probably isnt. Pin 4 and 5 need to be connected (in the micro usb side) for it trigger OTG functionality. if it is not working it means one of 2 things:
1. You didn't buy and OTG cable, you just bought a cable with the ends you wanted, but without the funtionality
2. Something is broken on your phone... test that cable in another phone with OTG capability (go to a verizon store if you have to)
3. I think i remember seeing you need an app to use some flash drives (keybaords and mice work without any app, i can attest to that from experience)

That's the one I got. It's 5pin, but you're right in that it doesn't say it was OTG.
I don't have another OTG compatible device to test with
I got an OTG cable and I tired loads of different things to get it working.... in the end I rebooted the S3 with a usb drive connected and it worked after that.
I'm on stock rooted LG6
This is what I got

yep, it is just a plug adapter.
You now have 2 choices:
1. cut open the micro USB, and connect pins 5 and six
2. buy one that actually says it is an OTG

I ordered a OTG cable now, but also soldered the one I had and made that into one too., But the OTG one will be ok to pull out in public places, lol.
Hi
(Sorry if this should be in Q&A I thought it would fit better in accessories, mod please move if it's in the wrong place)
I just got a SlimPort adaptor in the mail and i was exited to try it out.
This is the model I got: eBay
But iv'e had nothing but problems since plugging it in...
The signal keeps flickering off and on again, sometimes the screen just turns to snow when it does that.
It does these things every 30 secs or something, faster if i start up Riptide GP2, which i wanted to play with a PS3 controller connected by bluetooth.
I'm running stock 4.4.2 with SuperSU, Xposed with Greenify and Franco r49
Anyone know if its a problem with the cable or the software, and if it's the software does anyone know a fix?
Thanks
Try swapping HDMI cables.

Iv'e tried another HDMI cable, that did not help
All of the HDMI cables iv'e tried works fine with other devices.
I also have this flickering issue. I changed cable but to no avail
I ordered my slim port from Aliexpress for around 10$ and haven't had any issue with it. If you've changed the hdmi and it still gives problem then obviously it's your adaptor. You can't really do much with it except request a refund or replacement.
