Hi all,
I am having problems connecting my M8 to my TV with an MHL to HDMI converter. I connect everything up as instructed and it doesn't work. It charges my m8 but that's it.
I have tried it with my galaxy S2 and it didn't work. Then I flashed it back to stock ROM and it was fine. It worked perfectly.
The M8 is running stock Vodafone Rom. Android 5.0.1 sense V 6.0
Has anyone else had MHL working with this setup? I'm wondering if MHL is broken on the M8 Android 5.0.1 stock ROM?
Has anyone else had an MHL converter that worked on an S2 but not on an M8?
Thanks everyone for any replies.
Ok. After having a search it seems that some "cheap" cables will be a bit hit and miss. I.e. they might work for some phones and not others. The cheap electronics probably don't have much leeway with the way the device outputs the stream.
I ordered an official Samsung Galaxy S2 mhl adapter to try that out. I saw on another thread that this worked with the M8 without a problem (probably much better electronics inside). It actually cost me only £2.99 - the same as the unbranded cheap one ??? Should have gone for a Samsung one from the start!!!
I'll post my results when it arrives.
Meanwhile - any issues getting MHL to work on the stock ROM I've got? Or should this ROM work fine?
it worked
Although I didn't get any response I can confirm it DID work.
So I'll add some sentences here so this might appear in search results for others with the same issue:
Working MHL to HDMI adapter for HTC one M8
Samsung MHL adapter for HTC one M8
Which MHL adapter for HTC one M8
MHL adapter not working on HTC one M8
I can confirm that the Samsung MHL adapter for the Samsung Galaxy S2 works perfectly with the HTC one M8.
The CHEAP adapter I got from EBay does NOT work. So if you are having problems getting an adapter to work then this is likely the problem. The cheap one does work with my old Samsung Galaxy S2 - so it's not faulty. However, the cheap ones must not meet the specs quite right to be compatible with every device. So a cheap one may or may not work with your device - it's pot luck.
I picked up an official Samsung one for only £2.99 - just as cheap as any other.
This is a quality device. And should work with all phones (as long as they are not 11 pin ones).
On another note. If you are not running a stock ROM make sure that it supports MHL.
On my old galaxy S2 running the Centinal ROM MHL would not work. I switched it back to stock ROM and it worked just fine.

Hello guys, I registered in this forum hoping to find a solution for the problem I have.
I bought an original Samsung HDTV Adapter (Micro USB type) to use it to connect my new Galaxy S3 to my LCD Samsung TV via HDMI cable, BUT IT DOESN’T WORK !!
I checked the same adapter with a Galaxy Nexus and it worked just fine, but I had no luck to get it work with Galaxy S3. Any reason for that?
Please help. Thank you!
Have you set the TV-Out options on the phone?
There is no TV-Out options in the phone !! , any other thoughts?
The settings might be in the AllShare application or something like that, most phone's with TV-Out don't have it enabled by default as you have to choose PAL/NTSC/etc. I'm just guessing based on my SGS1 though, I don't have my SGS3 yet.
Can confirm it's not working. Couldn't find any mention of mhl in the manual either.
Also mine that I used with Note is not working

Damn, this is a bit of a major for me! I hope this isn't a case of Samsung not including MHL to sell more of their AllShare Cast dongles...
Charlie Sheen aproves this accessory.

This is a major letdown. I've also bought a MHL adapter to use with my (delayed pebble blue -.- ) SIII, didn't expect this to happen.
Anyone else has tried connecting the phone through hdmi?
That’s really frustrating!! I guess I figured it out and it doesn’t look nice from Samsung.
I found this accessory online which is yet to be released and compatible with the S3:
Part No: EPL-3FHUBEGSTD (sorry I cant post links as im a new user and the system wont allow me, u will be able to find that part in MobileFun site )
The same older model won’t work !! it’s the same device though with an older version. Here is the old model part no. which is available in market now:
Part No: EIA1UHUNBECSTD (u can search it in the same site “MobileFun”)
So if you have your old HDTV Adapter, I guess you can’t use it with the S3. That’s BAD Samsung, really BAD
Anyway, if any 1 can figure a way to make the older model work with the S3 please post it here, as im not eager to buy a second HDTV Adapter
Hi
I tried my old Bizlink with my S3 - it definitely does not work. Apparently only the new cable (EPL-3FHUBEGSTD) will work.
MobileFun expect their new HDTV adaptors on Friday.
Well, this is annoying. My old Samsung official MHL one doesn't work, and neither does my prototype one from the MHL consortium. Would like to know how Samsung explain messing up a connection standard?
My speculation: they have changed it so that the adapter delivers more charge to the S3 during MHL connection sessions...

Thats what i thought also !! Samsung must have changed the power requirement for the newer model. Its very annoying from Samsung i agree.
Got a confirmation from Samsung that the MHL adapter sold for the SGS2 won't work for the SGS3. They didn't mention whether they would release a new one, but I assume they will.
i have same problem i think they want us to buy dongle

They won't work. They will have said that in anticipation of them working (which is entirely fair enough on their part, since, you know, MHL is a connections standard that Samsung seem to have messed up).
TV Output should be work as 1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080 resolution?

It will mirror the phones display at 1280x720p, but will output HD video to the videos actual resolution up to full HD.
(when we have a working MHL adapter that is)
I'm having some issues getting my MHL adapter to behave properly. I have my E4GT running ICS MIUI, and I also have my work phone which is a sensation 4G running stock ICS, unrooted.
I ordered 2 different types of MHL adapter, a menotek and an official Samsung, and have been trying different combinations to get it to work on my 1080p TV.
1. MHL will work with both my E4GT and my work phone is they are running Froyo, but with no gamepad compatibility this is a dealbreaker.
2. No ICS roms I have tried will mirror over MHL. Mijz goodness just shows a black screen on the TV, whereas MIUI won't even show that (but it will change to landscape and lock rotation on the phone).
3. My work phone works 100% mirroring. This isn't ideal since my wish of MHL mirroring and gamepad compatibility is for my personal phone with all of my games on it.
4. Any combination of connecting the MHL power, HDMI cable, or connecting to the phone (Since I read the order *might* have an effect) is fruitless when running ICS builds of Mijz goodness, Viper, Recalked, or MIUI, on both adapters.
5. Searching the forums is fruitless, since most threads point back to threads with people either saying it should work out of the box, or no, it will never work since the source code for mirroring isn't released yet.
6. Both adapters are verified working with my work phone.
So the question is, what am I doing wrong? I noticed an HDMI mirroring notification comes up on my Sensation when mirroring, but nothing comes up on my personal phone. Is it missing a key program?
sounds wierd.. to answer some of your questions.. mhl support doesnt work with any aosp ics or jb rom that im aware of.. only tw based roms.. i havent had any issues with any tw based ics rom. i usually have hdmi to the adapter, then plug power to the adapter, then plug into the phone.

Well, I went back to the stock rom and sure enough MHL works. I haven't had luck with any other rom so far, even TW based roms.
It could be my TV, adapter, or any combination of things. I know stock works and I'm happy.

stock 4.0.4. I needed it to be ICS for gamepad compatibility. I flashed a couple of kernels and MHL mirroring is not kernel dependant, unlike when HDMI mirroring was implemented on EVO 4g.

Thanks for your response. I'm also on stock 4.0.4 (FI27), but unable to get MHL working. I posted about it here.. Which adapter are you using? I don't really need it, but it's not the first time I've made a foolish purchase. Maybe I'll get another one.

I just tested it on my menotek adapter. It doesn't work, but it does with the OEM samsung adapter. They're $9 now.
The more recent versions of touchwiz broke compatibility with the Menotek adapters.
You might be able to get them to work in DVI mode, but they fail HDMI initialization.

That's a great price. Any chance you have a link? My search finds them for $12+.
I'm also finding this one at Monoprice, which seems like a decent price ($10.20).
Menotek works with FK23.
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)

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!
Does anyone know what version of MHL the m8 supports? Also any recommendations for adapters is greatly appreciated.
Test results
I successfully tested the original Samsung HDTV to HDMI Adapter EIA2UHUNBECSTD. The HTC One M8 is charging to the same time. I did not expect that.
It failed with the Cable Matters 6 Feet Micro-USB-to-HDMI MHL Adapter - the same cable worked with a Samsung Galaxy S2.
Bump
I'd like to know which one to get aswell

I've hunted high and Low and have never found a direct answer. I've been thinking of finally ditching Touchwiz for my note 3 as I did on my note 10.1. However, I need MHL for my in car audio/video link to function properly, so the headphone jack is out of the question. I know MHL works on the Google play edition Samsung phones, so I know it's not impossible.
Long story short, if anyone knows if any kitkat or lollipop aosp roms have working mhl support, speak up.
