I received my monoprice MHL adapter, plugged the hdmi cable into it, plugged the power into it and plugged it into my phone. the phone shows HDMI hooked up and my monitor will alternate between showing whats on the phone and going to a white fuzzy screen then back to mirrored than fuzzy every couple of seconds.
I plugged my brothers sensation in and it works fine so I doubt it's the adapter, he is rooted running a custom ROM.
I am unlocked and rooted but running stock rom, T-Mobile USA version.
So I went into T-Mobile and asked about this issue, they didn't know, they called tech support who in turn told them to call HTC. They gave me HTCs number, I called and explained what was going on, HTC tells me the phone ISN'T MHL compatible, that we're supposed to use the media link dongle, which costs about $100.
He suggested I try just a straight up micro hdmi cable to my tv instead.
So an older phone (sensation) has the ability, but this new high tech, best of the bunch phone can't do it, what a bunch of ****.
Edit: OK, I figured out the issue, I was running an HDMI to VGA cable to my monitor, since the monitor is a VGA connection. I then went ahead and hooked it up to another monitor that had a straight HDMI connection and it worked perfect, so VGA HDMI cable no good, straight up hdmi to hdmi works great!
Edit 2: So I just tried the MHL adapter again with the vga HDMI cable, and now it works. It's like it needed one cable to make it work and now it will work with the other, nothing changed except that I tried it another TV.
a HDMI to VGA cable? as long as you dont have special equipment this cable can't be used for anything HDMI is a completly digital standard. DVI is digital + analog so a VGA - DVI adapter is possible, but HDMI to analog is without special hardware impossible.

You are correct sir, my bad, it is a DVI cable. So just replace VGA with DVI in my first and second post.
The cable I have is this one.
Thanks.
Okay. Could be a problem with HDCP.

I'n having this issue too.. still unresolved
My MHL came in 2 days back. Hooking the phone up keeps alternating between what's on the phone and the white noise screen. I have a straightup HDMI cable going from the MHL to my LCD TV.
Any suggestions are welcome

OK, I noticed if i just go and hook up my cable to the mhl the problem comes back, the solution is to hook everything up to the phone, then reboot the phone and the problem will be gone. One other thing is make sure you have your media volume turned up as it affects sound output, so if your media volume is muted, it will also be muted or whatever volume the phone is set at. I thought I was nuts when there wasn't any sound coming from my stereo until I realized that I had my volume all the way down.
DO the reboot thing and it should work no problems, also, our phones don't need to be plugged in to your power cord to use the MHL, so I'm wondering if the MHL adapter is even necessary for us if we can live without the power cord needing to be attached.

Thanks.. Will try and circle back..
Re: The power cord, not sure if it's 'needed' but I'm guessing without external power the phone wouldn't last an hour.
Seperate issue - When I last tried, I was playing around with it and the phone heated to a point it was slightly uncomfy holding the phone.

Yup, without the external battery going to the phone it will drain dramatically. I also noticed the heating issue you mentioned.

Update: So I tried hooking up all the cables to my phone, restarted the phone and then plugged it into the TV. It still gives me same results unfortunately. I get a display but it keeps going away every few seconds and the white noise screen appears.
What a buzzkill... My old phone (Sensation) was flawless in this respect
I'll start from the beginning. I noticed my phone's screen would kinda freeze or blur like a static tv. The screen would dim when I slide it open. I figured it would be either one of these 2: the lcd screen or the main flex cable. I had already replace the digitizer like 4 months before this and the digitizer work great after installation.
Here's my problem. Now that I installed the main flex cable the lcd works great but the digitizer stopped responding. I also noticed that the phone will only charge if I turn the phone off then plug in the charger then turn the phone back on. If the phone is on and I plug in the charger the phone will work for like 5 seconds then it will freeze then restart by it self. Its wierd.
I checked the cables, all the cables, to make sure they were all properly connected and locked. Everything inside, hardware related is working.
Here's something else that is important. My mother has the exact same phone as me. So, I switched the earpiece flex cable, (I thought maybe it was this cable that could be malfunctioning), from both phones to see if this cable was the problem. The lcd on my phone still worked but still no digitizer response. Here's what is crazy about this. Now my mothers phone does not work. I installed her original cable and rechecked all cables and now her phone has the same problem!
I came to the conclusion that there is a slight chance that it might be a minor cable mistake that I made on BOTH phones -or- There is some sort of software or firmware or something that needs to be installed. (Like when installing a new printer on a computer, you would need the installation CD) Maybe after I unlocked and pulled the main flex cable some sort of memory was interrupted or something. Although I am not sure if that is even possible...but umm...yeah. Any help?
Hey! I've been searching everywhere for answers, and while I have many times come to XDA on Google searches for advice with my Androids over the years, this is the first time I decided to make a post.
My seemingly loyal Galaxy S7 has just completely stopped turning on its screen. It vibrates and notification lights/charging lights appear, but other than that? Nothing. Black screen. I tried all the combinations of holding down different buttons, none of those worked.
I went to the repair shop and they said that they'd have to fix the whole screen which would be anywhere from $130 to $200.
I just need to access the phone to get my files off, so I was thinking if I could do the following.
I have an OTG to USB connector, I plug into that a 4-usb port, then I plug a mouse into one port and a USB to HDMI cord in another port. Connect HDMI cord into that and plug it into my computer's monitor.
Would this work? Or does S7 not have HDMI support at all whether I plug the phone into the stuff or not?
Hello everyone,
Here I've got a I-Joy Draco tablet That won't boot. It wasn't with me by the time it worked correctly so I have no idea what its specs are, other than ports, a DC-5V for charging and a USB one too like for most Samsung phones. No Sim card slot but a Micro SD one on the side.
So as mentioned before the tablet won't boot up. I've left it to charge overnight but still no answer when power button is pressed. I tried to boot into recovery but it won't work either.
When I plug it in a computer thou, there's a sound, like the one that lets you know you've plug something in. I get that sound too when I long press the power+volume button while plugged in computer. That makes me believe the issue might not be hardware related.
Problem is I don't know where to find ressources for that device so if you guys could direct me I'd really appreciate it.
Cordially
Hi,
i have an Leagoo T8s phone with Android 8.1. It served me fine for a while, but...
This one developed a power problem. Once the usb cable is plugged in it Powers Off instantly.
So it looks like a bad contact in usb, but it isnt. I thought to had takled it by bending the metal little plate over the battery connector so it pushed a bit harder to the board.
Because when i squeezed the phone a bit just below the fingerprintreader, the blue led started to burn while usb was plugged in. It only then seems to charge.
Well that does not seem to work anymore either. When i measure the battery it is still above 4Vdc. Seems ok. (there is a little dot next to the connector)
Now when i connect to my win10 via usb, then when pushing Power for like 10secs, you can hear the sound of a USB plugged in followed a sec later by the usb unplug sound.
So it does something, but what?
Then without USB, it only turns on when pushing power and bang it a bit to my hand. So it looks like a bad contact somewhere, but also some weird but because putting in USB power really gentle turns it off.
Would like to use it for development of apps as it was a nice phone for the price and what it offered.
Already bought another one from a brand hopefully a better quality (xiaomi redmi note 9), no more Leagoo for me.
Anyone here knows what the problem is? Maybe someone from LEagoo factory?
Thanks!
