HDMI output, help?

Hey guys, I am interested in getting HDMI out to work, I bought a generic mhl USB to HDMI cable, I am on TLS 10/15 4.1.2 rom (cm10) and I have a 55" led 3d lg smart TV.. I connect everything accordingly, main to phone - power to mini USB input on mhl, and out to HDMI on TV, change to the proper input on television and I get nothing, but occasionally my phone goes into dock(clock) mode....? No visual output on TV ever tho... oh and my phone charges as well.... does anyone out there use HDMI out? Is there something that I am missing, setting , apps, option in ROM?.... thanks in advance.

Most likely its the adapter. I bought the Samsung branded adapter and it was a POS. A lot of he adapters are finicky. Id suggest ordering a different adapter and if that doesn't work you can rule it out, return it, and look elsewhere for problems.
I've had great success with this one. It's got an extra long cord which is nice also.

Cm10 October 12th 4.1.2 build by last sidekick... apparently I've found that others on cm10 are reporting no HDMI connectivity as well... so I guess ATM I'll have to wait.. my cable seems to be of high quality and advert said that it was compatible with our phone.

I turned it on using ROM Toolbox build.prop editor: add an entry with property name "ro.hdmi.enable" and set the property value to "true", reboot, and it works. I copied this setting from a flashable zip from another forum.
But both on CM10 nightly 10/17/2012, and AOKP nightly 10/15/2012, I found that after disconnecting the cable my phone often has a reboot (not exactly a Random one in this case), as if it had been destabilized, had a memory leak, or some such. So my guess is that the developers have left this setting out to avoid the issue until other issues get fixed. The video and audio quality were fine, however, so the basics are there.

Edit 10/25/2012: both current AOKP build 5 and CM10 nightlies still reboot after using HDMI in this fashion, in my experience within the first minute after detaching the micro-USB/hdmi connection (I am using the Samsung on, but the same occurred with the Menotek one) the Hercules will simply reboot. So this is an instability which occurs with both ROMs, and it also persists with the kernel from the King Kangers AT&T Thread, which otherwise works well: [Kernel]3.0.43[JellyBean]AOSP/ETC | King Kangers One | .11 |SKYROCKET Edition|
Besides making use of HDMI less useful (though I haven't seen it reboot while actually watching video that way, using Youtube or local video), it seems to betray an underlying bug in the kernel or in both ROMs.

Ahh. Gotcha.
Backup and flash a diff ROM to see.
Keep an eye on the adapter though. I had a Samsung official MHL adapter and it died on me for no reason.

[Q] MHL and MTP issues

Here is my question...
I have lost the ability to both see my phone (GSM Galaxy nexus) when connected to my Windows PC and the ability to us HDMI out via the MHL cable. Not sure I've ever seen anyone with this problem before.
Here is what I've done to troubleshoot...
- Ensure MHL/USB cable is working by connecting to my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (yes, I have two Nexii). Tried different charger.
- Tried different TV.
- Rebooted
- reflashed ROM (Modaco)
- Wiped, changed to stock ROM
- Tried different USB cables, USB ports, PCs.
- Rebooted PCs, tried different combinations of plugging cables/ phone in.
- Dug through settings
- Different batteries
- Googled.
If it is a hardware issue, Samsung is saying that they cannot help me with my UK purchased Galaxy Nexus.
Any ideas from the community. My last step is to go in on a Nexus 4...

Sounds like usb port damage. There are plenty of tutorials and information on replacing it yourself or like you said get a new phone. Those that have had your same issue here have also fixed it with realigning the pins in the port using a cocktail sword or something similar. Cleaning it out could help as well

[Q] MHL to HDMI function not working

I've used the newer Roms on the dev threads but I have not found anyone that can use the MHL to HDMI converter. Is there an app that can re--enable this? The stock rom can do this but not the recent roms.

MHL won't work on stock rom cause this phone use slimport by default.

I'm running CM10.1 (one of the latest nightlies) and the MHL is fully functional via HDMI cable.
Remember that you have to connect power supply to the converter in order to make it work.

Tried on latest cm10.1 stable and it works great.

RootBox supports MHL. And I've successfully used an MHL-to-HDMI converter from monoprice.com to show/play local pics, local videos, local music, and YouTube on our HDTV.
Haven't tried MHL on any other ROMs.
Sent through the magic of an LG Optimus G (E971) running RootBox 4.2.2.

Confirm to work on stock JB 10D rom. I bought my MHL adapter almost 2 years ago,from dealxtreme.com,for my old galaxy s2. I sold the phone,but i kept the adapter for my next phones.It seems to be working ok. It's a cheap adapter,paid 10bucs for it.They even gave me an USB OTG adapter with it .

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try connect this again tonight. I've updated to Liquid smooth rom (this should also function as with the raw CM 10.1). I'll post my result by then. thanks.

I tried to plug it again but no progress. It still doesn't recognize the connection. I'm now using RootBox rom.

Try with stock. Don't report non working features with custom roms,you do realise we can't help there, right?

As i used it on cm10.1there were no notifications about connected in notification bar or in phone itself.
But its surely working, just plug the micro USB to your phone, the HDMI to your TV and charger to socket and change the channel in tv to hdmi1 or hdmi2..... depends on where you have pluged in your HDMI. And you should See your phone in TV.
And again, you will get no notifications that it is connected to phone or tv, on mine was the same, but works 100%. Just plug everything together and choose right channel.

Which build of RootBox? MHL was only added in the middle of June, I believe. Defintely works on the June 21 build, haven't checked the June 24 build that I'm currently running, but it should work.
Which MHL adapter are you using? Does it has a full-sized USB plug as well as the micro-USB and HDMI? Is the USB plugged into anything?
I found the one I have won't work unless the full-sized USB plug is connected to the TV as well as the HDMI plug (needs it for power).

RootBox Rom June26 build. I was using a Samsung brand MHL to HDMI adapter. It was working with the stock rom. looks like this one :
http://mag.divineo.cn/magento/mc-mhla.html

The resolution of mhl on cm10.1 is 1080p and cannot be changed.
If your TV is not FullHD, you may get no signal.

Could you guys direct me to an adapter that will work with LG OG? I'm looking to buy one, but am a little confused. Some say Samsung adapters will work, but I've read online that there are different versions (difference in PIN's?). Which version should I buy 5 pin or 11 pin. Does th MHL version matters, 1.0 or 2.0 ?

11 pin is for Samsung, will not work.
Mine actually is from Energizer brand (brings a 11 pin adapter too) , I had another one before.
I think that every MHL 5 pin will work.

Does anyone of you guys know if slimport works on our phones? maybe thats the reason mhl isn't working on newer roms(Android4.3)

face the same problem with CM 11 nightly build 20140104.

Me, too!

I have the same problem. I used the MHL adapter (ETAOUIOUBE adapter) with the stock rom and when I changed to CM 10.2.0 it stoped working.
Can someone help? It's a feature I used to use a lot and I'm thinking on going back to stock just for this feature :crying:
Thanks!

Why no one makes a rom for car mount.

More n more people r going to do android tablet car mounts.
I for one r looking to mount an lte model to my car.
But there is no rom like 2012 does.

The front camera is off centered so that's a 2013 model.
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013) running 4.4

There are a lot of ROM / kernel variants that will give you USB Dac, OTG charging on a 2013. I personally have 2 Nexus 7 2012's with USB ROM and Timur Kernel as home stereo sources that I stream from Squeezeplayer.
I just did KitKat on my 2013 Nexus 7 but CM10.2 and Glitch kernel will do car mount stuff. AOSP with ElementalX will also work.
Heck once a 2012 Nexus 7 is in the car it doesn't look any different than a 2013 or lack any capabilities. If I put one in my next car I'll put a 2012 in there.

It's a 2013 LTE.
Unfortunately this is not a complete setup yet. But I was planning on doing it similarly to the setups I've seen on the 2012s.
OTG Y-cable to a 12V source, USB hub. Flash drive, and then a DSP to my amps.
Probabily will run CM 11 for the OTG support.
I've tested the battery life though as you asked. screen on, gps running, and bluetooth and with the max 1.1 amps in it at least held steady battery. it didn't drop, and didn't charge.

So.it's basically a kernel that will make the otg usb charge n function .
So what is the difference with Tim's rom if the kernel doesn't supports?

Android Auto with OnePlus 3 running Oxygen 3.1.2

Anyone had any luck or tried their new Oneplus 3 with Android Auto yet? I have been unable to get mine to connect with the factory USB type C cable on my Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. My Oneplus One running Sultans CAF 13.0 ROM runs no problem. This could be enough to make me return this new OnePlus 3 honestly. I really rely and love Android Auto.

unlock bootload and flash cm13, since sultans rom runs off of CM13 and see if that works

Sultan has not made a ROM for Oneplus 3, or else I would definitely do that. I am watching the threads with other CM 13 authors but seems a little too early to jump in on any of those.

OK I have tried Resurrection Remix Official which is a CM based ROM, still no luck (Very nice ROM with a ton of features BTW) Have some Type C cables and adapters on the way from Amazon, maybe it is the factory cable?? If anyone has had success or issues would love to hear from you, I can't be the only one

Come on guys, Android Auto is a must these days....how can we make it work ?

Glad I saw this thread before I bought. If Android Auto will not work on it then I'll gonna pass on it. Hope they get it working in time as I do want this phone.

I did have similar issues with ROM's when I first got my AVH-4100NEX and my Oneplus One, luckily I just kept trying a few different ROM's until one worked. Never figured out what the issue was but now most I have tried have worked with the One. Just being so new there are only so many to try with the Oneplus 3 at this point.
I have contacted Oneplus about it, they don't even know what I am talking about, they just keep replying that they can't guarantee the phone to work with all bluetooth devices. I have told them twice now it is not the Bluetooth, in fact my Bluetooth has been fine. It is only when the cable is plugged in. I have made some progress on the latest ROM I have tried, it now says Android Auto is connected on the phone, notification, BUT...it isn't because I do not get the 2nd notification I am used to saying the phone is in car mode AND the Android Auto button on the head unit is not lighting up.
Tried multiple cables now, and known working micro USB cables with type C adapters now. Same results. It's either the phone or the ROM. Next thing I am going to try is a different version if GAPPS specifically play services, since everything uses it it would appear.

I was able to get my OnePlus 3 connected to my Seat Leon with Android Auto a few times after I plugged it in and out dozens of times, did some restarts of the OPO3 and the media unit, plus some tinkering with the USB MTP and notification access settings. But it was never stable, longest lasting connection was about 15 minutes long, than it crashed again. The overall success rate for connecting is about 1 of 10 times. So altogether not usable...

The question is on the official 1+ forums also and they are ignoring it.
I'm guessing there will be no AA support.
Oh well, The Axon 7 is being released soon and hopefully it will work there.

Work around accord 2016
I had a tough time getting Android Auto working with my Honda accord 2016. All other phones worked fine except the op3.
Finally was able to get it to work. Here is what i did:
1. Enable developers options
2. Connect the phone to the car while the car is on
3. Go to developers options and under "select USB configuration" pick "MIDI"
Then Android Auto connects to the car. It is really disappointing to see the bugginess of the phone. I really like the hardware. But the software is s**t. If I wasn't past the return date I would have gotten a different phone. Oh well at least I got it to work for now. Hopefully op will release an update to fix the glitches.
Had connected to support and asked them about Android Auto support before i figured out the work around. They flatly stated that Android Auto is not a supported feature. Support was supposed to be added in "a few weeks". Don't know how long weeks are in OP land
Cheers and hope this helps someone

Ah you used midi? I tried mtp but that didn't work. The latest release fixed the issue of it not saving the selected USB mode. It always reverted to charging
