HDMI freezes; anyone know the cause of this?

I have read plenty of people who have the same problem. When I plug in the phone to the tv via hdmi the phone freezes and resets. I have not found a solution for this. It seems like it is really hit and miss. Any help?

anyone? please?

I'm not sure if this helps but I had the same issue and switched to another HDMI port on my TV and it worked flawlessly.. I notice that the port i was trying to use shows up on the TV menu as HDMI/DVI for some reason even though it is clearly NOT a DVI port

Your cable is probably bad. Mine started to freeze up after working fine for two weeks. I checked the cable and the cord was coming apart at the top by the full hdmi connector.
Two new monoprice cables I got since have been flawless. The first was an amzer from ebay.

[Q] Hdmi Not Showing anything

Ok so whenever i plug my Hdmi cable in, i get a notification about Hdmi telling me to play a video or something like that. I tried to play a video and use the gallery app, nothing shows up. I even tried FullHdmi and HdmiwIn telling me my cable isnt connected.
Rom: Myns RLS5
Kernel: Netarchy 4.3.4 With HdmiwIn
I even tried plugging in the Hdmi cable while my Tv is off, not working. This is my 2nd Hdmi cable both having the same problem. Any help this is really frustrating
Also tried 2 tvs

are you using a case with your evo? if so try using the cable with the case off of the evo. that was my problem, cable looks plugged in but it's not. had to trim down the rubber around the cable to make it work with the case on.

im not 100%, but i think that only certain things play thru hdmi regularly. try something like FullHDMI for HTC EVO or HDMIwin from the android market, which should put the phone screen right on the tv no matter what you're doing.

[Q] How to HDMI Out (unrooted) Evo 4G?

Okay so I am sorry for the extreme n00b question here, but I have done some forum searching and some googling to no avail. How do I use HDMI out on my OG Evo 2.3.3 OTA Unrooted? I know you can show videos and such using a cord, but mine does not seem to want to do it. I have followed all instructions indicated by the HTC User Guide and from various sites and forums and it is not working. Could it be an issue with my port? How would I know? And, lastly, what can I do? I am covered under TEP from Sprint and I have no mods on my phone. Any help is appreciated and will be thanked.

When you plug in the cable to the phone and tv, and turn your tv to that input, you should see an hdmi icon in the notification bar. If you are not, then its either a bad cable or a bad port.

That is what I found to do elsewhere and it has not worked. I've used two cables (both bought from Amazon.com) and neither have worked. They fit the phone just fine and they plug into the television just fine but then nothing happens. Other HDMI devices work fine on the television. I think it may just be the port. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a 2.2 refurb. Thanks for your help anyway.

[Q] Captivate Glide Reboot when Plugging in MHL Adapter

Running SGH-I927RUXKJ5_STOCK_ROOTED. Phone reboots when plugging in a Micro USB to HDMI MHL Adapter. Upon reboot phone operates normally but no display on the external monitor. Anybody have MHL adapter working on Captivate Glide? Thanks for any help.

I ordered mine on ebay.
Phone doesn't reboot when connecting MHL cable.
But no video output to HDMI ...
I'm running Rogers ROM + Cranium kernel.
Edit :
it works !
You just need to connect the adapter to the power supply.
Just tested it with a HDMI videoprojector.
Powerpoint presentation displayed full screen.
Video file as well.
No lag at all.
Didn't check if audio was routed through HDMI (the videoprojector I used doesn't support it).

I can confirm that audio works. Anything you can see or hear on the phone goes to the TV.

I get video but no audio but that might be because of my audio setup.

I have tried it as well with a MHL adapter I bought at Monoprice and you do get audio. I have noticed sometimes it does not work though when I plug it in. I do not know why. I am wondering if the MHL adapter I bought is flaky or if Our phone is sometimes picky.

i checked the connection, video and sound work great.
No connection loss.
Connection works everytime I connect the cable.

Have you any issues with the length of your HDMI cable I found 3 feet works but 10 feet does not did not try a 6 foot as did not have 1 at the time. I think it can not be to long as it needs power from the micro USB and too long may not have enough power. Just curious on the length of your HDMI?

The cable I used was 6 feet long.
It worked great. It had no impact on video quality or sound quality.

Are you asking where to download SGH-I927UCLG9, or are you asking whether SGH-I927UCLG9 is compatible with hdmi, or what are you asking?

What makes it work?
Is the MHL functionality connected to the ROM you use, or the device? or both? I have a kitkat rom and was hoping that would make it work, but it doesn't, and didn't with the official Ice Cream Sandwich version either.

I don't have an MHL adapter, but I'd try cleaning the USB connector on the phone. The reason I say this is that my i927 would sometimes have trouble connecting to the PC by USB and often, when receiving a phone call, it'd switch to car mode, as if I had a car accessory connected.
I cleaned the connector on my phone by rubbing the contacts first with an x-acto blade, then with a piece of paper with WD40 backed by the blade and finally with another piece of paper with ethyl alcohol. Don't forget to remove the battery before trying this and be very gentle to avoid breaking the connector.

[Q] MHL Adapter not working

I bought an MHL adapter from amazon and i connected it to my tv and it doesn`t work. I connected it to power, Ive rebooted my phone several times and still couldn't get it to work.
Any suggestions?

hmmm if everything is plugged in.. it should be detected right away... could it be a rom or kernel issue? undervolted kernel might cause problems because welll not enough volts obviously. a couple weeks back using faux kernel.. i couldn't use anything below -25 volts to keep a steady display.

I've had the same problem running non stock roms and kernels. My buddy has a stock SGS2 tried it worked, tried mine nothing. Try going back to stock or at least a stock rom. I just ordered my MHL adapter and are currently running Mr. X stock rom with darkside kernel, when i get my shipment ill report back. Hope this helps.
S...

Ive tried going back to the stock rom but had no luck.
My tv seems to recognize that something is plugged in, it just wont display properly. I reset the settings on my tv but that didnt work either. Hmmmm

As simple as turning on & off the tv.
I bought a cheap mlh adapter and a cheap hdmi cable from ebay and had neither the phone or the tv recognize each other. The solution was to plug in the power to the mlh adapter first, then plug it into the phone second; then turn the TV on with it switched to the correct hdmi source and finally, plug the hdmi cable into the mlh adapter. But sometimes I still have to sleep(standby screen) the phone and wake it before it work even with this method. I tried plugging and unplugging these components a few different ways but this was the one that work for me and has continued to work every time. Hope this helps.

Try plugging everything in, then rebooting your phone while it's hooked up to your tv.

Ive tried everything i can think of. Mabey the adapter is bad.

get the monoprice adapter, good and inexpensive.. unless you got it from there.. probably bad adapter lol

Easy to check
I would try plugging the power cord into the mlh adapter then into your phone, if you get power to the phone it might suggest that your hdmi cable is the culprit. If you get power to your sgs2 then I would try switching out the hdmi cable with another to rule out the cable as the bad egg. If both the mlh adapter and the cable test good then one last test would be to switching out which hdmi port you are using by changing the cable to another hdmi port. The last check is unlikely but I am just trying to cover all the bases.
This is just my two cents but sending back products tend to increase cost and adds up quickly. I tend to try every available avenue before returning products. The comment about Monoprice selling this adapter is right on, as this where i got mine for dirt cheap. Good luck with what ever you decide.

need any and all the help i can
I have a samsung galaxy s infuse 4g ... and a sony brava tv... i have bought 2 mhl adapters and 2 hdmi cables .. hooked them up in as many orders as possible as well as turning the phone off and on but still nothing does anyone have any sugestions to help make this work ???

Sounds crazy but if all else fails.
You could use the og adapter. I found on samsungs website http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EIA2UHUNBEGSTA
And i check if your phone the Infuse was compatible which it is. Last ditch effort take the phone and the adapters to your retail store and see if they can get them to work. Sorry, if these suggestions are not better than my above comments, but I can't think of any other measures to try. Hope you get the problem solved.

Did you plug power into the adapter? It needs a power source, so plug your charger into the side of it ...

Yes i hooked it up the same way as the youtube video and i also called samsung tech suport and they said that what i was doing it should work...do you think my luck is that bad that i bought 2 faulty mhl adapters??

Have you tried a different HDMI cable? Or a different TV or Input on that TV?

I have a sneeking suspision that the 2 mhl adapters that i bought are junk possibly.. Does anyone think that it could be because my phone is from rogers (canada) or would they be the same thing as he usa version ?? Because i have noticed that on youtube of the unboxing of my model phone it has a mhl suplied in the box..

Hey thankyou for your sugestions but im having a hard time finding the Samsung mhl adapter in Canada apparently we dont get in im the box with the phone because of some law... Do you think the American website would send to Canada?

Mine did not come with an MHL and I am in the states, I found one on ebay ....

The 2 i have now are from ebay and dont work.. Is yours a actual Samsung one?
