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

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.
Just upgraded to official ICS and can't get mirroring to work. Has anyone tried it? If you've gotten it to work, could you share how you did. Thanks guys.

Displaying on your TV screen exactly what is displaying on your phone. It requires the use of an adapter.
Exactly. Has anyone tried to use it since upgrading to ics? I use it a lot and it seems to only work on gingerbread. Thanks.

Confirmed not working for me as well, running this rom. I'd been running CM9 for a month or so and was hoping that going back to a stock(ish) rom would restore this functionality, but I'm optimistic that it'll be patched soon. I've used my MHL adapter maybe 5 times at most so it's not any kind of deal breaker, but I'd still like to use it!

Yes it is working on ICS Touchwiz based roms, I tried it on blu Kuban and wicked sensation. I was using it the other day to watch the hangover 2. I know the mhl adaptor doesn't work on AOSP roms right now. The adaptor I'm using is the Samsung MHL adaptor, that has a port for plugging in the USB charger and it's required to have it plugged in. The phone has to be charging while in use.

I have the Menotek MHL adapter and it does not work on ICS...
I get EDIDRead() errors in my Logcat and then it reverts to DVI mode (which evidently doesn't work over an HDMI cable... go figure)
I haven't tried factory reset yet, so maybe it's a data issue...
Anyone with a Menotek adapter confirm workage on stock ICS?
cheap 6$ adapter from amazon here.. been working on all tw roms since early ics leaks. doesnt work on aosp YET.. we have source so id expect it to be fixed on aosp in the near future

He wants USB Tethering. I have noticed that it is actually broken on a LOT of JB ROMs but nobody uses it or bothers to test it so it goes unnoticed. You might wanna try ICS.... I don't use USB Tethering but I have seen the problem across multiple devices on JB (excluding official JB of course)
Oops thats what happens when replying to a post when half asleep. I didn't think people still use usb thethering. Anyway right now best to buy a usb wireless adapter and use the modified wireless tether for root users. Unless someone else knows of a way to usb tether that works on jb.

Yep, go ICS or get a wireless adapter I think are your only choices... The wireless adapters are relatively cheap on Amazon.

USB Tether app
I use pdanet for my USB tethering needs. I am currently on TBGS3 5.0 (GB08) and tested it. It works flawlessly... the only thing is you may have to pay for the full functionality, depending on your needs. The app itself is not on the market, but if you google it you will get to there main cite, where you can download the app for your computer and, utilizing the push to phone function, can install the app on your phone. Good luck, hope this helped. :good:

Thanks for the suggestion but can't install the software on the computer Will just have to go back to carrying 2 computers.
I use usb tethering for my laptop all the time, running rooted gb08.
If you're getting an "account not authorized" message thats the carrier.
Hotel doesn't have wifi, you can't tether from mobile data...
I don't think you have any real options, unless you can get to a Mickey D's or something that offers wifi...
You're pretty much bumming bro.

I usb to my laptop because the wireless won't connect to that computer (I've tried everything with no luck) but every other device in the house will, and my phone is the only one with tethering capability. So I hop on wifi and plug and play. Unfortunately my scenario doesn't help your situation

Hi everybody,
I'm planning to buy a Note 10.1 2014 ed the WiFi-only version of course.
I was wondering: is it possible to connect a 3G-Phone (like my Galaxy S2) to the Note using a USB adapter and tether from phone to tablet?
I couldn't find a clear answer on the web..
Tanks a lot.
Yes as long as you have tether setup on your phone. That's the way I do it.

I believe you cannot use Wi-Fi tethering (whether its wireless or USB) unless the host device is rooted.

just to make myself clear, I want to use me phone's 3g internet on my tablet via usb cable. i'm not trying to make an wi-fi hotspot, just use the celloar internet from my phone without drain my battery by turn on wifi hotspot on the phone and connect to it from the tablet.
I know that it can be done from phone to computer via regular usb cable, i'm wondering if it will work same way between phone to tablet.
Thanks again.

Use Foxfi, it works just tried it. I used my phones 4G data over Blue tooth mode and works just fine. I am now able to use my phones 4G connection with my wife version tab. No longer confined to hotspots and home network There is a free version and a payed full version without the byte cap.
I didn't have to use usb tethering. Just connected through blue tooth
