I am having the exact same issue. Just bought one and nothing is outputting o.o I'm using Simplistic Rom V with Siyah
Custom ROMs don't support MHL you need an official Samsung ROM for it to work.

Ive been using mhl with asop and a siyah based kernel (Dorimanx) and works fine for me.
hello
I just recieved a 10$ MHL adaptor bought on ebay.
For connection the adaptor I use a 1.4 hdmi cable which support HDMI CEC (anynet) as it was normally plugged to a diffrent device.
After connecting the MHL to TV, power the MHL with a samsung charger and connecting the S2 the HDMI "source" is active but it displays error that there is no signal.
WHAT is the problem?? Doese anybody have a clue what`s happenning?
TV Samsung 46D6750
S2: Samsung stock rom 4.0.3 LPW, SiyahKernel S2 v4.1.3
Oh ok then, I was under the impression custom ROMs didnt support it due to lack of source code. Awesome that you found one that does

Mind possibly pointing me in the direction of a Custom ROM that supports a MHL cable?
everything works . all it was needed was an restart .
performance of the cheap adapter is very good ... to bad that the galaxy SII has so low resolution, a 720p screen would be better so that playing games would look good. Now its rather a mix of pixels and not so good colors... same is with the original Samsung adapter

Now for all you Nitro HD users who didn't know that it is possible to stream video through the Micro USB port, well yes you can That port is actually a MHL port (Mobile High-def Link), which combines both Micro USB and HDMI features together, and all you need is a MHL adapter to connect your phone to your HDTV and stream movies while having your phone charged.
Now my question goes to those who know about these things. Any idea which MHL adapter is compatible with this phone, or can we use any adapter from any maker? And also, has anybody tried using the MHL capability on this phone?
Well, one would think it wouldn't be proprietary based on the fact that all MHL enabled phones use this as a standard now. I have used a MHL cable from an HTC Raider on a Galaxy S II and it worked just fine.
Does anyone else hear a slight grinding/grainy noise when you plug in the Micro USB? It always makes me feel like I'm breaking it.
any mhl adapter should work.
i use the mhl adapter from samsung infuse and it works! but remember to plug in power for it to works.

plug in power? what do you mean? I thought the whole idea behind mhl is that your phone will get charged via hdmi while streaming through it.

I think if the tv supports mhl mode then you don't need to plug in power.
If tv just has hdmi port then you need to plug in power.
The mhl adapter has microusb port for power input.

So my bro got me an Accell MHL adapter for Christmas and I'm finding it doesn't work with my phone. It doesn't even provide a charge. I'm thinking its physical dimensions are such that the connector into the phone doesn't go in far enough (kinda LG's fault for making the port recessed, kinda their fault for making the connector so damn fat). So, if you guys find one that works for cheap, do you think you could hit us with a link?
TL/DR, Accell's doesn't work, please post ones that do

it needs power for mhl to works. did you try to reboot the phone after you plug in mhl and power input for mhl? i tried on samsung infuse mhl adapter and it works!
Yeah, I provided power and performed every possible sequence of hooking it all up that I could think of and also rebooted several times. I really think it's the form factor of the Accell connector combined with our slightly recessed port that causes it to not go in far enough. I just need someone to give me a suggestion of a brand to buy that they know firsthand works well with our P930.

My HDMI adapter does not work on this ROM. Is there a work around?
Which bluetooth keyboards are popular with this ROM?
make sure you have the correct MHL to HDMI adapter, it's not just any microUSB to HDMI
i only use the onscreen keyboard, don't like to carry an extra keyboard with me
The adapter works on a few ROMS as well as stock ROMS. There is something about this ROM that is flawed. Could this be a setting.

Would you mind telling me what mhl adapter you have? I have the minotek brand, and it cuts in and out when I'm displaying on my TV. I'm hoping it's because I got a cheap adapter, but am worried something is wrong with the micro usb port on my phone.

I have an official Samsung MHL adapter. Works fine on Juggernaut, though it's a bit wonky getting detection to work in the first place. Sometimes have to unplug various cables and plug them in again to get it to detect.

Hi all.
I've searched for similar questions and can't find anything that gives me an answer... so here goes.
Model number: GT-N7100 (Samsung Galaxy Note 2)
Android version: 4.1.1
Modifications: None.
Problem:
- Connect MHL cable to phone.
- Connect power
- Connect HDMI to tv & MHL
- Phone pops up a message on screen advising that HDMI connection has been made.
- No output from phone to tv.
I tried originally with the wrong MHL cable designed for a Galaxy S2 (established this thanks to a post I found on here, thanks). Then replaced with one designed for the S3 which should (according to what i read) also work with the Note2.
Am I missing something here?
The cable used was from Amazon and is not a samsung original part. But before spending more money to get the samsung part i want to be sure i exhausted all options with the cheaper alternative.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

my theory is it has something to do with all share cast
I bought a 'generic' adapter at first, did not work. Ended up going with the Samsung adapter...worked fine...
make sure yr MHL cable/adaptor is compatible for note2/s3, they use different pins with older model
Hi all.
Thanks for the replies. [will do the whole thanks button thing in a minute].
I threw the adapter in a drawer for the weekend and pulled it back out this morning to have another crack at it.
Its the cheap n nasty adapter that is at fault. I shoved the connector into the bottom of the phone really hard this time, and instead of black, the tv screen went green. All green. A bit of jiggling later and i had phone output on the tv, but its a very sketchy connection and a slight knock loses the connection, even though the phone still thinks the cable is connected still.
Only problem then is that there is no audio coming through the tv. All phone settings suggest there should be.
So i went upstairs to try on another tv, and it works perfectly with video and audio (once the cable is rammed home good and hard).
Problem solved. For now, it will do. But I will at some point be investing in the genuine samsung part that should do the job properly. And a new TV for the living room ~ current one is old and was a budget model at the time, so you can imagine how bad it is by todays standards.
Hi, can you help to check if the camera apps work when you use mhl ?
Im using the sprint gn2 do I go with the same step when connecting mhl adapter? Before you connect to television is the phone suppose to be charging? I think I have to buy the right one .I bought mine amazon from china and still have not hooked it up to my tv yet. Can there be a problem with phone? Its new never dropped

i just got my samsung MHL adapter which is for the S3 but supposedly should work with note 2 also.
when i connect the hdmi cable and the power cable and then connect it to my phone i see a popup "hdmi cable cvonnected"
however,
my monitor (Dell 2408WFP) just goes into sleep mode.
i also tried another monitor.. same thing.
i'm on android revolution with perseus kernel... which is just a modded stockrom.
i have not made a samsung account so i don't have any of the samung specific apps activated... could this be the problem?
do you need to have that sharecast or whatever to be activated first in order to get the TV out functionality?
I bought Samsung MHL adapter last month for HTC One X and it works fine even without connect the phone to charging.
I just tried that to my new Note 2 and it doesn't work at all.. already try to charge the phone still not showing anything not even a notification saying my note2 connected to the hdmi...

i connect power, mhl en and hdmi cable.... set monitor to look for hdmi signal...
phone then gives me the 'hdmi adapter connected' message and then the monitor goes into energy saving mode...
i guess my adapter is faulty.... it is supposedly a genuine brand new samsung adapter but i got it from ebay hongkong or china or whatever... so... well... you know..

Try it using the 5V - 2A charger, i have read, somewhere i forgot, that 2A is a must for being able to use MHL.
I can't say if it is true or not, i'm atill waiting all stuff be delivered (All-share cast hub, MHL adapter, Smart Dock, etc).
Good luck

For me the MHL cable worked well with easy disconnections (any minimal movement). But I used it with the bloutooh mouse and so I didn't feel so much the issue.
Now the note 2 doesn't reveal the cable. I plug it in and nothing happens.
I don't remember if I changed ROM before the issue but it's sure I always had a custom ROM.
Can be a ROM problem?
I will try the MHL cable with my father's s3 and let you know if is a cable issue.
EDIT:
SORRY GUYS, IS A CAVE PROBLEM. ITS DEAD
I have rooted my device also. Come to think of it, this might just be the issue. Rooted with exynosabuse gonna try to unroot and see if it works. Still want it to work with root though because i use the sixaxis to play games..
Once u unrrot your note 2 did it work with the mhl cable

hi folks
Is it possible to screen mirror image from my phone (SII 4.0.4 ) to a Samsung 32C5000 TV via LAN ? I'm looking for fomething like screenshare or smartview , btw these do not working with my tv. Allshare doesn;t have any of these options just playing files. It would be really cool to play virtua tennis / nes games with usb controller on the tv.
I'm also interested in this. But I have a Samsung Smart TV Series 8. I have tried searching all over, but I never found a way...

You could just get an mhl cable???
The idea is to use the gamepad in the microUSB port with an OTG adapter so MHL isn't an option. Also wireless offers some form of freedom meaning I'm not limited to using cables.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller bluetooth ps3 controller and mhl?
Currently I have a Logitech Dual Action which is USB cabled but I am considering about buying that ps3 controller.
Can you tell me what's the difference between these two adapters?
1. www.ebay.com/itm/MHL-Micro-USB-Male...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item2a1e2ed2ac
2. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Black-M..._MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item41729ff31c
Number 1 looks right
Number 2 is an adapter to turn the s3's micro USB port into an s2's, as Samsung changed the way mhl worked on s3 so you couldn't use s2 mhl cable
Just so you're aware mhl requires stock ROM and the cable must be connected to a power source as well to work.
Hmm ,.I think I'll buy the first but what if I decide to change my phone? Will it work with another Android S3 or maybe some HTC dunno ?
No problem regarding firmware as I am not a fan of custom roms.
The cable won't work on s3 as the cable is 5 pins and s3 is something like 12 but there's adapters available like number 2
Screen mirroring is possible
screen mirroing is capable in phones Galaxy s3 and above and it can be easily ported in galaxy s2 if neatROM develpoers thinks its a worthy feature like they did in feature (Multi - Window) which was also supported in phones Galaxy s3 and above...

Works just as expected. Happy with my purchase.
-USB OTG doesnt require external power works well, speed is high enough to watch movies from USB sticks.
-HDMI needs external power, and works out of the box. Connect and good to go.
But Android really needs some HDMI out options... My TV defaults to 1080p ->24hz<- which is just terribly choppy... I'd prefer 720p 60hz or something if 1080p is too much (shouldnt be since the tablet runs at even higher res/60hz all the time).
Is there a way to change HDMI output signal on the tablet? I didn't find anything.
Another weird thing, the same adapter is not working for my Galaxy S3. No idea why.
Hi all, I'm looking for a similar solution but I'm not very clear on the distinction between the 5 and 11 pin models etc, so finding it hard to make a best guess on what will work for the 10.1 2014.
I tried this because ideally I wanted to go from micro usb to VGA for flexibility:
http://dx.com/p/micro-usb-male-to-vga-female-audio-mhl-adapter-cable-for-samsung-htc-white-233333
but it didn't work.
Giving up on the VGA element and sticking with HDMI, would this have a better chance of success? :

Any thoughts appreciated
I bought this from Amazon and has the same configuration as yours but does not seems to work. It does not charge the note. The usb stick and ext hdd are not detected even with attached power.I'm using Total Commander for reading NTFS.I'm not a tech but I have a gut feeling that the S3 adapter is not suited for our note. You can use it for HDMI but I tried it on my charger and it does not charge the device.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00HNEKZZQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
