Ive have att note 2 running skynote 8.2. Bought the smart dock everything working fine for about 3 weeks. Go to hook it up today and my mouse and keyboard will not work. It still displays to hdmi out on the tv but I cant use the key board or mouse. Though maybe the mouse and key were broke so I hooked them up to a pc , nope both work fine. I did try to flash some bootloader animatins this morning but I did a back up before hand and the animations ended up not working so I falshed back. Help please?

Nandroid backup, ODIN back to stock firmware, try again. Does it work?

So I found out what the problem was. I watched the video awhile ago and it said the smart dock had a hard time powering other things hooked up to the dock and they were not kidding. I had it plugged into an extension cable that also had a lamp plugged in. Even though the lamp wasnt even on it must have been pulling enough power so the dock couldnt power my mouse and key board. Long story short make sure you plug it directly into the wall. The extension cord works I just cant have the lamp plugged at all.

From what I understand, the dock is supposed to Launch the Car Dock screen... Mine doesn't... It charges... I haven't tested Audio yet... But doesn't launch...
Any suggestions?
I'm gonna try my wife's fone (bone stock) tonight and see if it's something I did to my fone that's inhibiting this function

I'm having the same problem. I installed the StartTalking app, and it has its own car mode, so that may be the problem.
I had that same problem.
I had gotten a replacement Atrix, and when I tried using it in the car dock, it wouldn't launch unless you first put the phone in the dock, then turned the car on, then unlocked the screen, and even then it would take a few seconds to recognize it. The original phone would just launch automatically no matter if there was power or not.
Both phones had fresh 1.2.6 SBF flashed, it may be a hardware problem.
Mine has never given me any issue. I love using it! Just wish there was a case that the dock would accept!
Okay... so.. tried the wife's unmolested fone, and same thing... I wonder if the 1.57 patch has something to do with it?..
Might have to shoot moto a complaint...
I found an app in the market which was simply a short cut that you could program for your car mode app. You could also use Any Cut or Launcher Pro to do a shortcut. But I agree. It's annoying.
I use another car app and just launch it manually.
Strange. I'm on 1.5.7, rooted, with GingerBlur and my car dock works fine.

Wonder if I've got a bunk dock... 2 phones and neither workin' makes my left eyebrow raise a little... Gonna try w/ one more fone on saturday hopefully and try and figure out wtf is goin' on
I don't wanna hit a button... That's part of the awesomeness of the dock... Not working as designed = not as cool... =\
It's probably your dock. I got one that wasn't working correctly. I exchanged the dock, and the new on is working fine.
I have the same problem, but I don't have a solution yet. I have the home dock and car dock and was running a stock 4.1.8.3. Everything was great until I decided to root. I read that I could not root with 4.1.8.3 so I flashed 4.1.2.6. and I was able to root, but I lost my home and car dock auto launch when I put them into the docks. I upgraded OTA 4.1.5.7 and no fix. I flashed 4.1.5.7 and no fix. I can use Any Cut to run the programs, but that is only good for those without the docks. I tried running the Dock Settings for the audio settings, but I get an error that reads "Dock not found". The phone charges in the docks, but does not recognize that its in a dock. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

I think people are describing two problems. One was due to the firmware, the other is due to faulty hardware.
I had a faulty standard dock that wouldn't cause an auto-switch on the phone. I replaced it and that one was fine. I suspect that was what at least one poster had with their car dock.
These docks work in USB host mode (which is why the docks can't then be linked through to a PC for syncing). So there is actually electronics in there rather than just a USB pass through.

What ROM? Stock "touchwiz" ICS or AOSP?
Hi, not every ics ROM has working TV out, I use Alba ROM v2 and can confirm it works straight away.

Says: Please note: For the MHL cable to work you will need to have it connected to mains power.
Am I being thick? there's only one port on the Gnote. If that is used to connect to the mains then where on earth do you plug the MHL Cable?
The mhl cable should have a port to plug the power on the side.

Same Problem
I am having the same problem with my friends Note. I am using stock ROM (Unrooted first, then rooted). Yes it is plugged into power, and the adapter does work because we tried on a nexus galaxy and it worked fine. Have tried rebooting, and still no luck. The phone makes a noise like it detects the cable, but never rotates the screen, The TV detects some kind of signal, but it looks like it is detecting the audio only because the TV says "Please use the audio connection for PC for a DVI connection" (Yes that message makes no sense thanks Sanyo). Any help would be appreciated.
Ok so I didn't know how to word the title lol. I woke up this morning my nexus was plugged in through USB to the wall, working just fine. I drove to work and plugged it in like I always do. Left work I do the same thing usually, plug it in on the way home and it was charging. I get home and plug it in to my ps3, nothing. so then I try the wall charger, again nothing. So I restart numerous times, then turn it completely off, still not charging. I then decided I'll make a backup on cwm and restore it. Charging from USB port works again now.
Sorry for the long explanation it's just really weird and I was wondering if anyone else had anything like this happen top them?
I forgot to mention I'm running the latest eclipse ROM with the latest trinity kernel (384 gpu)

Greetings,
I dropped my Galaxy SIII pretty hard and the screen went purple for a bit, then completely black. The phone appears to be working (vibrating on startup, back and menu buttons light up) I hear that the screen and digitizer are busted. Luckly, I insured the phone so I can get another.
Phone is completely stock ROM
Phone is NOT rooted
Debugging Mode is NOT on
USB mode only can be activated by swipe down
I tried running AndroidScreenCast, but my phone's serial does not appear when running adb devices.
Is there any other way?
Bonus points - Can I hook up an HDMI cable from mini-usb and view the screen? Can I use a usb hub and have a kb, mouse AND hdmi cable?
Bump
Will HDMI cable work? I don't want to purchase one and have it not work!
You can try using push adb to launch file explorer on windows, pull off all oh your data and then replace your phone. Happened to me a few months ago, but I chose to replace the screen myself.

Thanks for the reply. How much was the screen? Was it hard to replace?
I have warranty, but it is a $200 deductible.
Hello everyone, the problem that i am having is that i bought a official Samsung mhl adapter for S2 fron Amazon. Now, it worked fine for like 1 week in which i used it 2 or 3 times but after that time the tv screen was showing no signal. I restored my phone to the factory settings and it started working again but after the same time of use it wasnt working again. Restored it again and again the same story. But today i restored my phone again to the factory settings but now it worked like 30 seconds and has stopped working since then. At first i thougjt the problem was causing some app but i havent installed any app in the recent restore apart frm Facebook, candy crush , whatsapp and top eleven so i guess thats not the case. Any help guys plzzz.
P.s. When i connect the mhl adapter with the phone with all the cables needed and it shows that its charging but the tv (Samsung) idicates no signal.
I request the moderators to pls move this post to the q and a deoartment.

perhaps the charger your using is weak amplitude. try a higher amplitude charger. also mhl will work best in flight mode as the network going up or down seems to knock out mhl. although you can use wifi in flight mode with mhl just fine.
does it work straight after you do a reset and the phone at default? it may be also faulty unit because when its plugged in the componets get hot and fail, when cold they may be ok, thats why it sometimes works.
thanks for ur reps guys and sorry as i ddnt check the post for a long time. I will try using it on flight mode and if it doesnt work it might be the mhl thats not working right. And yes it works fine after doing a reset but the Mhl doesnt get that much hot. So i think this not the problem.
doesnt work either in flight mode
