Smart Dock HDMI out doesn't work - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bought myself a Smart dock for my birthday. Too big for the letter box so I had to go pick it up. I was so excited when I opened it up and plugged it in. :laugh: :laugh:
Fully charged, plugged into mains with official adapter phone enter docking mode, audio out works over 3.5mm but HDMI out not working :crying:
Only have 1 monitor test it with but I've tried 3 HDMI cables and nothing :crying: :crying:
Am I being really stupid and missing a turn on HDMI thing?
Stock N7105 running 4.1.1
Asus 24" VH242H Monitor

I plugged my phone into Kies and got 4.1.2. Hdmi still not working though

Make sure your TV is set to hdmi... if all else fails, try another power outlet

You should not have to start anything, make sure you have power to the MHL adapter, plug it in to the phone , make sure the TV's input is set correctly, and plug it in to the TV ... If that does not work , either the ROM you are using is broken, the MHL adapter is broken, the HDMI cable is bad, or the TV input is broken, or some combination there of ......
Wow I didn't even notice this phone didn't have an HDMI settings tab my POS g2x had a few options haha just saying

Getting MHL/HDMI video out to work

I have both a genuine Samsung MHL adapter and the S2 mhl adapter with the 5pin to 11pin converter and I've seen both of these work on other phones.
However, I can't get my video out working on my S3. Both of them connect and bring up active charge and indicate onscreen that "HDMI cable connected". So I know the adapter and cable is being detected but no signal on HDTV. The HDMI cable is good as is TV and monitor I tested on and of course proper input is selected.
Now as far as I remember as soon as it is plugged in the video should automatically show up on HDTV screen...correct? No TV out setting has to be turned on as in past Galaxy correct?
Fyi..I have multiple S3's but currently only have one on hand...its a 747m with KyanROM on it... so not stock..it is rooted and has KT747 9-18 kernel as well.
I have a feeling its the rom(and I could easily test this if I had other phones but don't for a while).
So if both MHL adapters are confirmed working and both the HDMI cable and TV are working AND even the phone states that HDMI cable connected, then what is the issue with no video display?

Do you have the power plugged in? That is, a AC/DC charger to micro-USB cable plugged in to the micro-USB port on the adapter.
Should work automatically
I just received the Min-Suit 11-pin adapter sold on Amazon. Mine switches on automatically as soon as I plug in the adapter. Of course, to make it work, you should first plug a charging cable into the USB micro port on the adapter and you should connect an HDMI cable to the tv. Also, make sure you're selected the correct HDMI input on the tv. If you do all of that, the picture and sound should start up as soon as you plug in the cable.
Unless it was a mistake, your OP says you have s2 adapter. From my understanding, the pins are different on the s3 and will not work with the older adapters.
If you read closer Woody you will see that he says that he uses an old MHL adapter, WITH the 5 to 11 pin adapter
That should work. But I think your ROM is the guilty one...

Dont give up yet, I thought I had the same problem, but my ballistic case was preventing the MHL adapter from going all the way in. I took the phone out of the case and the adapter clicked in. Worked great on the TV, but best of all, worked in the truck via a down converter. Had to play with it to get in deep enough (kind of phone foreplay i guess:laugh to work, but it does.

Have you got the correct MHL adapter? You need one that specifically states it works with the S3 and Note 2.
If yours doesn't, it is almost certainly an S2 compatible adapter, which won't work.

I have the same problem. I think is the power, download this app from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076078
to see how many ma is giving the charger
The normal is about 1700ma at charging, mine is giving 200-460ma at mhl with the stock usb cable
I bought a belkin microusb 5pin cable which is giving 1800ma at charging but i haven't try at mhl adapter yet.

Mine specifically states that it's for S3 on the box. And the one for S3 should work for note 2 as well since they both require 11pin. But for reason it doesn't work for me. I eliminated the rom as the cause since it tried using it with Stock rom and still not working.

Mine is giving 200-460ma at mhl as well using stock charger.
But if plug the charger directly to phone I'm getting 1800.
Problem solved
Its your power adapter I went to RadioShack and got a new power adapter that's 1.5 amps and I haven't had any problems everysince. You have to have the right power amps or your adapter is not going to work

[Q] wind mobile 889v and smart dock usb ports not working?

I flashed the jedi x12 rom which came with SaberKernel_16 kernel and hdmi worked (though cropped a little at top and bottom) but no sound on tv nor usb ports recognize my usb memory stick, mouse, nor keyboard.
Flashed SaberKernel_17 kernel and sound now plays on tv but still no usb support.
Also smart dock line out doesn't seem to work.
Tried flashing Perseus-alpha34.2-t889-CWM.zip but same result.
Anyone able to get usb ports working?
Smart dock model EDD-S20JWE from crackberry.com.
I tried using the charger that came with the phone and now the usb ports are recognized. Mouse, keyboard and usb sticks are recognized. The line out still doesn't seem to work when I hook it up to my stereo or headphones.
I tried using the charger that came with the dock again and the usb ports still work. So I'm still not 100% sure what the issue was...
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Yup it seems the charger that came with the dock doesn't output enough power. The smart dock works great with my HP TouchPad charger.
I'm getting a replacement and will return the smart dock with the bad power adapter.

Official SGS III MHL adapter not displaying on tv

I have the bell SGS III 4.04 with the official MHL adapter right from samsung. The phone says "hdmi adapter connected" but nothing comes up on the tv. I have tried all 4 hdmi ports on my tv and 2 other hdmi cables. The phone acts like it is supposed to when the adapter is plugged in (no sound, landscape mode) just nothing on the tv
Forgot to say im using a Ktoonz kernel if that matters.
