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

Is anyone else having issues with the USB-microUSB cable provided by Samsung?
I have had trouble physically getting it plugged into the charging block and staying seated. However, my biggest issue is connecting it to my laptop. I plug it in, connected to nothing on the micro end and Windows tries to install drivers and eventually errors out. Then I can't connect my phone at all. I had to use my cable from my HTC EVO to get the ODIN connection for rooting working properly.
I seem to remember when my mom got her Samsung Transform, we had similar issues with the USB-microUSB that came from Samsung and we had to use my cable to root her phone too.
What is with Samsung and shotty USB cables?
i can't connect my sgs2 to USB storage. when i plug in the usb cable to my computer and phone it will charge but nothing else happen. i had stock rom before but are currently using jug 4.0. i thought it was the rom so i downgraded to 3.69. still the same problem. i mean i can do anything with the phone just can't let my computer detect the phone. i tried to reinstall the driver, nothing works. please help!
Is your cable a samsung branded one? I had that same problem but with stock rom. I used an LG branded cable and the phone would connect to the computer and charge, but would not go into USB mode.
yeah, i am using the one that came with the phone, i guess i will try to use a different one. it was working fine before, don't know why it just stopped!
This has happened a few time for me. Sometimes the phone has only needed a reboot, the wire definitely plays a big role... I bought some cheap cables that didn't work at all... some of the older roms wouldn't show USB connected unless drivers were installed (kies). An issue I've more recently unveiled is after using an MHL adapter sometimes the USB will connect for 30-60 seconds before unmounting storage again. Hope that helps
My SGSII HercuDom needs more w00t. It always needs more w00t!
I had the same problem on a stock phone (purchased in late Oct from T-Mobile store in Arizona). I would connect it to the computer and it would charge but would not recognize the USB function (for data transfer or modem use).
Took it back to T-Mobile and they overnighted me a new one for no charge. New one works fine.

hi all i got my self a mhl cable a few week ago and kept losing signal to my tv with it so i got a replacement and this one does the same... basicly i get the old style white noice screen at random when trying to use my phone and tv.. ps also their is alot of color banding with this mhl i have...
please please please help me, where can i buy one that will be problem free,
ps on a side note... can multiple bluetooth devices be connected at once.. ie i have a mini rii keyboard and the touch mouse is a pain to use so if i used that with normal bluetooth mouse would both function ok side by side?
I cant help you about the MHL adapter. Sorry.
Regarding Bluetooth devices. I use a BT keyboard, Microsoft BT mouse and a headset at the same time and it is working without any problems.
regarding your mhl cable
is your data (3G) turned on?
if its on then turn it off and try connecting your device to your lcd again
i had the same problem and i thought it was from the cable
but i read somewhere that if the data (3G) is on it will cause the disconnection because of the search for better signal and reconnecting to it
hope this helps you as it did for me
read something new about the 3G may affect the signal to TV. Mine also kinda weird - my MHL adaptor can output my Note screen to my home Panasonic 720p LCD TV and Samsung 27" 1920x1020 LCD monitor with no problem (but it looks much smoother on the 720p when zooming in and out) but it can't work with my in-law's Panasonic Full HD LCD TV. After connected, no signal at all.
yeah you really can see the color banding when its on a big screen. its there on the small display too, just harder to see.
did i hear right that with ics this will go away as they will switch to a high color depth always?
Thought I would ask the obvious question. Have you actually plugged in the phone charger to the side port of the MHL cable when using the MHL to output to the television.
Try connecting the charger to the MHL cable and then to TV and then to phone. Cause otg cable gives errors when done the other way around, so guessing MHL might give similar problems if you don't connect them in the proper sequence.
hiall thankyou so much for info.. ill try tonight..
@Teflanzy - ill try this 3g thing as i use wifi at home so this will not effect my usage
@bubblesmoney - yes mte it dont work at all without power cable, its required on the leads i have
as for colour banding im happy now i know its not just me and ics might solve this
hi all after much effort of testing i still get the signal loss even with 3g turned off is their any other solutions as the guy i got it from sent me a 3rd cable and all of them do the same
i had same issue.
solution is buy original, or very close to original samsung cable, i bought one and no more drops.

If it's visible on a TV then at least it's 100% certainly not a Note screen issue but purely a software problem.

Hii everybody. In a big problem here. I have a galaxy s2. I9100.
Got a MHL cable from ebay. Supposed to be official SAMSUNG adaptor.
http://www.ebay.in/itm/170773709311?...ht_2211wt_1139
And a high speed universal HDMI cable.
Now my problem is that when I connect this HDMI cable to the MHL and to the Charger and the mobile, it doesn't work the way it is supposed to be.
It connects fine to my TV(Toshiba HDTV) and mirrors the display, but only for few seconds. The screen on the TV goes completely blacked out, while the display on mobile is fine. Now I have to disconnect the MHL and connect again to the mobile to get the mirroring on the TV back. Again after few minutes the same happens. I can see the mobile charging via USB and even though the display drops on the TV, the TV is still in the HDMI mode(a black screen). Coz when I disconnect the MHL completely the screen on TV turns blue(indicating no input).
So this shud not be the case of loose connection.
Now can anybody help me diagnose the problem here.
Is it the MHL?
Is it the HDMI cable.(Although HDMI works perfectly with my laptop and TV)?
Is it the Charger? (Using samsung's box charger)
Is it the mobile, hardware or firmware? (on DDKL1 official release)
i have this problem like screen goes black out for a few sec at certain time on my toshiba regza. but its working fine on my phlilps tv. maybe you can try turning your cell into flight mode and see if it will help a certain? some said data may cause the interupt of it.

Thanks a lot dude. It worked.
But can't understand the relation between 3G and HDMI..
Anyways you made my day.
CHEERS.
I'm glad I read up on this before purchasing. I saw some fake Samsung versions, MIChn, I assume the OEM is MIKor? Please confirm if you bought the original.
I am also having problems with my MHL adaptor. I purchased one for £6.60 from eBay.
I contacted the seller as it was not working and they kindly sent me a second one, however that is also not working.
I have tried turning USB debugging on and off but it makes no difference. All that happens is it says USB connected and then almost immediately says USB disconnected.
I tried changing the order of how I plug the cable in to the power and HDMI and phone but still the same thing happens.
I previously had an HTC Desire HD so I am used to being able to select from options when a USB is connected!
Has anyone else managed to get one of the cheap MHL cables to work or will I have to purchase an official one?
Thanks for your help!
P.S. Hi, I'm new here!
mhl issue solved thanks for the solution

Hey,
I just rooted my P601, and I got it working & everything's working fine, but since the rooting there is a red cross on the battery icon while connected to my laptop, it's connected to my laptop and recognized; BUT it WON'T CHARGE! It will charge with wall charger though. I tried different cables, and different laptops, but it seems that the problem is my tablet.
Can anyone help me?!
Thanks in Advance
@reza_1661 theres nothing wrong with your tablet, when I connect my tablet (not rooted and stock firmware) to my laptop the same thing happens as its connected as a media device to tranfer data between the two.

I thought it should be possible to charge it with laptop like all other devices such as my mobile phones ... ! So, there is no way to charge it with laptop? I haven't done something wrong?
No you have not done anything wrong. A usb port can put like 500mAh so it would need like 16 hours to charge your device.

that also happens to me but when i have my tablet connected to a wall socket, to solve the problem i have to disconnect and connect several times for it to go back to normal

maybe it is the "same" cable even with different ones... just for data transfer and not for charging the device...
found a fix
Hi, I have the same issue since 4 months ago, it was already rooted, so I change the usb flex with other new and did not worked, the red cross always appears and it couldn't connect to the pc but the hdmi works fine, so I opened the note and in the place that the flex connect to the motherboar there is a kind of clip, when I presed that clip it charge normal and the pc recognize it so I left there a little piece of paper to make continously presure and woks fine now

You might be able to charge your tablet on your laptop if you power it off (the tablet)
Yes, Tilagoon is correct. The red x means you're charging at super slow speed and you have to have the screen off.(don't use it while charging with PC USB)
Hello.
I have an Acer Iconia One 10 (B3-A30) that for some reason stopped charging when the tablet is powered on. The usb port actually doesn't do anything when it is powered on, I can't access it from my laptop either.
As soon as I turn it off, the tablet charges fine and is then recognized by my laptop(charge only).
Any ideas on what might be happening? I have tried every USB cable in the house.
Thanks in advance!
