Since the update to the latest build (...BMF2) I have an issue with the MHL connector. I have the S3 connector (EPL-3FHUBEGSTD) and every time I'm connecting it to the Note, the Note just drops to the battery screen. It's the screen which normally occurs when there is not enough power to boot. (big battery with animated dots) A reboot doesn't work, it just drops back to that screen after the system has loaded.
I've red about the boot loop of some Nexus devices. Is this the same problem? Does anybody else have that problem too?
Edit: I have a N5100.
Works fine for me with the 11-pin Adapter from the S3. Maybe you have a hardware problem with your adapter or tablet?

Ok looks like a hardware problem with the adapter. Tried a S2 connector from a friend, no restart bug. So I have to buy a new one. Thanks!

Hi
I just recieved my Adapter but something seems to be faulty on this,
when I connect it with several HDMI cables the mirrored picture starts to jitter or the connection break for a few seconds.
The cables are not decoupled and not really expensive, I have no other HDMI device to test them but I dont think that they are buggy.
The TV connected to is a Philips PFL8404
Some suggestions what I'm doing wrong?
The GT is rooted and on stock ROM.

i have the same issue. i tried two different hdmi cables and two different hdtvs and the issue is still happening. at this point i think its a defective adapter. Im gonna exhange it.
I had a similar issue back when I had a Xoom (which I ended up returning cause of weight). I am debating over ordering the adapter for my Tab, and if they are doing this, too, then I'd be fairly dissapointing. I always figured maybe the Xoom had a loose connection or the cable sucked, but maybe it's something else?
Got my HDMI adapter for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 yesterday also. It flickers and looses connection so much it useless. I've tried several new HDMI cables, and 3 different TVs. All flicker and blink. I'm sure it's a bad adapter. Will be returned shortly.
i would like to see someone post positive things about the hdmi adapter, have been thinking about getting one, but so far all these posts make me believe that its now worth it?
thanks
recieved a second adapter and still the same, seems to be a problem with the GT itselve or with some drivers build in, may the root crashed something, will trx out.
just ttryed another 40 bucks cable and still the same, dont think thats a hardware fault by the adapter. The only thing I can test now is to unroot to stock. Will test later and update.
UPDATE: Unrooting doesnt work
it doesnt seem like the people with the verizon hdmi adapter are having this issue. I wonder if its made differently?
I just received my adapter from Verizon and I can confirm the same issues so its not related to where you buy it.
Anyone notice what the status of their battery life is when using the adapter? Mine glitched the first time I tested it out and I had just taken the Tab off the charger. I kept getting a notification to unplug the Tab because it had reached 100% charge, which I haven't seen before. When I tried it later in the day it wasn't fully charged and it seemed fine. I haven't had a chance to try it longer than 10 minutes yet so not sure if its battery charging related. I know it doesn't work without a power supply so maybe once the Tabs at 100% it rejects power and cuts the HDMI off. Just a thought, I may be wrong.
I just tried it with 30% battery life and still having the same issue. does anyone have one that works?
Yeah I tried watching a movie on mine last night with about 70% battery and it switched from TV to Tab then back to TV about every 5 minutes.
I don't have an HDMI out cable, but I was wondering if you guys were plugging the charger into the HDMI, or if you were using it without it. I'm curious because I saw a review about it stating they needed the Charger to be plugged into the HDMI to get it to work.

yhea thats right you have to plug the wall charger in otherwhise it wont display anything at all, our problem is the faulty result whats on the screen
Wow. I was just about to order the HDMI adapter from Sammy (I stubbornly kept waiting for BestBuy or Verizon to get one in stock). But seeing all these problems, I wonder if they're having quality or other issues, and hence why it's not hitting shelves yet.
Does anyone have a feel for whether all seem to be defective, or if these posts are more representative of the adapters that are defective? (guessing from those saying they've tried more than one, that there seems to be a general problem with the adapters).
Okay I have a 10.1 galaxy tab wifi and a home made dock from a 7 inch tab and 10 inch tab dock. Using the oem power adapter that came with my tab. With my hdmi dock I watched a movie on amazon instant via the browser And I rented a movie from google. Both movies played perfectly through my 50 inch plasma tv via the hdmi dock.. I can tell you that movies would not play from google untell touchwiz update. but after the update I have had no problems whatsoever playing any content via hdmi. Also I don't know if it makes any difference but I have never rooted my tab. Good luck guys I don't know what's going on I hope you figure it out.
Hey mopar. Is your tv a 1080p? Both my hdtvs are 1080i so im wondering if thats causing the issue. I think i read somewhere that this tab outputs in 1080p. I dont think its the video player because it cuts in and out without running any programs. Its like every 30 seconds the tv screen will cut out go black and then come back on. its basically useless.
I believe my tv is the lower of the 2 not sure though.... it's definitely not a high end tv but it is new..w
my tv is a 1080p
I just got the adapter today and haven't had any problems with it so far
I just got the 7 " docking with HDMI out and it works like a charm, so it seems to be a production problem with the adapters. Brought me the 10.1 dock to put the piece on the 7 " base.
Both mine AND my girlfriends gs2 have this problem. When the phone is charging, the touchscreen is not reading the correct point of where I touch. Anyone else having this problem?
Yeah we all are. There is something wrong with the square adapter that came with the phone. Try plugging it into a PC to charge or using a different adapter. It works fine.
I noticed this as well, but only with non-OEM adapters.
And I thought it was only me. Get the same problem only with cheap chargers.
OEM, MT4G, Transformer, Touchpad, Galaxy Player, Ipad & iPhone chargers all do not experience the problem.

I don't and I also have this problem.
I believe its the square Samsung charging adapter.
Powered by the SGSII....
Ditto here, it behaves Ok when charged from my laptop, PC and Motorola charger (came with my Milestone), but definitely quirky when charged from the square little adapter that came with the SGS-T989D.
Add me to this list as well.

Same here, but it does change when I use another Samsung adapter like the one from my Vibrant it'll actually work once i use that one.
I have the problem with non-oem...oem is just fine for me
This is happening to me. I am using a Quikcharger for Samsung which I bought from Sears. Anyway to fix this? Because the OEM square charger + data cable is to short to use in bed.

it only happens with defective charging cables
how i know?... i just accidentally crippled a pin of my existing charger, and now even though it still charges, it causes all kind of random weird things in my phone.
so i simply stopped using it, and changed to another charging cable

So you are saying the OEM wire is defective? Has anyone used the cube with a different wire or vice versa?
I just bought this new charger from Sears and it still gives me a quirky screen

This is a known issue with the SGS2. Any inconsistencies or issues with the power supply via AC will cause the screen to tweak out. Possible causes are a bad cable, bad power source (outlet), or improperly inserted microUSB connector. If you try a number of times and cannot get the cable to connect properly, return it or get a new one.

it's not a SGS2 only issue, it happens to all the other phones i've owned before
So i picked up an MHL dvi adapter off of the egg.......
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0PG0822857
It is having terrible flicker issues when using 4g, if i hit airplane mode it works really well but i cant do that for obvious reasons. Thoughts?
I have tried different kernals with no luck.
Did you connect the power plug?

Most (afaik) don't function without power being applied, but this definitely sounds like a power issue. I assume you have it plugged in to a USB port on either your TV or computer? Try using an AC outlet charger.
Yes the the power has been applied, i have tried both a computer and a 1 amp charger with the same results.
I also have a MHL HDMI cable that works fine.
Only the DVI one flickers. and only when other things are running on the phone. turning off 4g causes the flicker to pretty much go away.

I could get it work ONLY with the official samsung charger. I had an iphone and a HP touchpad charger both of which didn't work.
I have not tried my official charger yet however..... my issues are directly related to 4g...... when its on flicker is bad. if i toggle it off it pretty much does not flicker any more. Not sure if its a power issue or what.......
Thoughts.
I believe this has been reported before with Verizon Nexus. GSM version doesn't exhibit this problem AFAIK. It must be an issue with the CDMA version.
As for the solution I can only suggest you try the original Samsung MHL cable or another brand and see if it makes a difference. I use the official cable with my GSM model and no issues. I do however get random disconnections during use, which can be fixed with a unplug and replug.

Hey everybody,
I recently purchased the note 2 about 3 weeks ago... about 10 days into the purchase I exchanged the device for a new one because it had an excessive number of black dots (google amoled or note 2 black dots if you arent aware of tgis issue), and some other problems. So I got my new device works great, still has black dots when you load the grey screen but its minimal. Heres the problem. There is something wrong with my charger port. I plug in the microusb wire and it falls out from time to time. I tried using tge microusb wire that came with my samsung media dock and it seemed to fit a bit more snug but still eventually fell out. Moreover, when I connect my note 2 yo my samsung media dock (which connects it to my tv via microusb), the screen flickers. The flickering on the tv confirms that something is wrong with my microusb port, maybe it flickers bc it is not connected properly. Plus my first note 2 that I purchased never flickered. Could anyone provide an explanation for the loose charging port and the flickering on my tv? I think the two are related. Also has anyone sent their device to samsung for this? If so did you receive the device in working condition with no dings amd and scratches?
Thanks everyone =)

Well it could be a bad charging port this time. Try transferring big files from windows to confirm.

Thanks I will try to transfer a large file and see if it gets interrupted in the proccess.
Anyone else have issues with their microusb port? Was the charger loose? How did you guys deal with it?
Thanks in adv

I posted in this in the accessories section but I realized that it is more of a troubleshooting issue. Im sorry I am kind of new here
Hey guys,I purchased this dock and at first I absolutely loved it. However, just recently when I use this dock to connect my N2 to my tv, sometimes the content on my tv screen flickers. I use qualoty hdmi cables and made sure all cables are secure and toghtly plugged in. It is important to mention that this is my 2nd N2 (I was having problems witg my first N2). This screen flickering never happend with my first N2 and I want to know of it is the accessory that is a problem or my actual smartphone that is. I should also mention that my 2nd N2 has a problem, whenever I plug my charger in it is loosely plugged in and falls out sometimes (if this is an indication of a faulty mocrousb port then perhaps the faulty microusb port is causing the flickering on my tv screen).*Does anybody have this accessory? How does yours work?Thanks for your time.
