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...

Having the exact same issje with the original s3 adapter. It worked fine 2 days ago and then one day from another it magically stopped working on my note 2. Still works with other devices..
ok.. i decided to actually create a samsung account and installing the all-share cast app hoping this would finally make the mhl work..
but alas..
same thing..
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..
i think i will order the wireless all-share hub in stead...
Are you rooted? I've read that hml doesn't work if you are.
Edit: I should have read the rest of the thread. Looks like you solved the problem.

well yeah... if getting a wireless allshare cast hub instead for 80 bucks is a solution.. then yes.. i guess it's solved..
by the way,
yes.. i have root.. where did you read that a rooted phone prevents the MHL adapter from properly working?
do you have a link or something?
in that case i could still try to persuade the Android Revolution HD Rom developer to look into the issue...

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
It seems like the china products r all faulty

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

Recently purchased the 11 pin Samsung MHL adapter for my new at&t note 2. I have a Sony Bravia LCD TV. When I connect the adapter to my TV I get the message "hdml cable connected" but see a blank(black) screen on my TV. The phone shows the charging status so I know the power is connected. I also have a note 1(5 pin MHL) phone and an older adapter(5 pin) that works just fine with the same TV. This kinda proves that the HDMI cable that runs through the TV to the adapter is also fine because it can stream with my note 1 without problems. I can only think of 2 possibilities : Sony Bravia is not compatible with Note 2 MHL or I have a faulty adapter(more likey ?).
I also tried rebooting the note 2 just to be sure.
Any pointers ?
Thanks !
sorry to see that no one has answered this. had hdmi working perfectly on my evo 3d. same adapter not responding at all on my gfs note1 and the same black screen issue on my note 2. hope to find a solution soon. Ill follow up if I find a solution.

Hey. Ive had my MHL adapter for about 2 weeks. It has worked just fine until today. Now my tv gets no sound or video from the adapter. I used it last time yesterday and it worked just fine. Now i get nothing. Its the original s3 nhl adapter. Any ideas what might have happened?
Anyone?
Okay i found out that it wasnt the cables fault, tried it with my friends s3 and it worked. It must be some software bug. Anyone experienced anything like this?
Well.... hi everyone
It's been a long time since i wrote in english xD... so sry if I make any mistake.
The problem:
I got a HDTV MHL adapter... It is original and its for s3 as far as i know it should work for the note 2... i tried tons of times to connect my GT- N7100 to my smartv and didnt work, then tried on a 3d Bravia and nothing... Yes, I connected the adapter to the power - HDMI - Device and the note starts to charge but no msj is shown... also i tried the HDMI cable with my laptop and runs perfect.
Too late but I started to read a little about any issue about it and find out it might be an issue with the root... rooted phones doesnt run mhl properly and before i run the unroot and loose all those things that didnt cost me anything but time i want to be sure
So 1st I want to know if theres any rooted person with the mhl hdtv working
Or any rooted user has found a way to make it work
Thank you very very very much
Hi there,
I have a rooted n7100 and using an MHL adapter and it works fine.
I tried several MHL adapter and this is the only adapter to work as far as i know
http://www.amazon.com/Skiva-Samsung...TF8&qid=1372308885&sr=8-1&keywords=mhl+note+2
I have used XNote Rom, Moon Rom, ARHD Rom and they all work
does your adapter have the mini cable that is specifically for the note 2?
When i plug in the cable it shows on my phone "HDMI Output" or something like that.
I know what your saying that the phone charges, it just means that the cable you are using is not for the note 2
I am rooted and use my MHL adapter all the time...no issues. I am running a stock rom.
Hi, I just bought an OTG adapter to connect USB stuff to a Galaxy Tab S 10.5, however it does not seem to work with my iPhone 5S.
Whenever I connect the phone to the tablet using the adapter the tablet recognizes it and the phone starts charging, but only for about one second, then the phone is disconnected and stops charging, but again for about one second when it is reconnected by the tablet and so on... lt essentially gets stuck on this loop until it is physically disconnected.
The OTG adapter works fine with a Sony camera I got here, so this problem is unlikely to be hardware related.
Has anyone seen this sort of problem before? Any suggestions on how to solve it?
Thanks,
Victor
