Yes i plugged in as well .
OH do you think it could have any thing to do with being rooted ???
Mine is all messed up, but i noticed that when I had my power adapter plugged into a surge protector it wouldn't work, then I plugged it into the regular wall socket and the hdmi turned on.
But like I said my hdmi out was all screwed up, you can read it in the thread i created here.

I am on the phone right now with Sammy. First they said the phone was not capable of outputtonf video purchased via Media Hub to a TV, now they transferred me to Level 3 and said it should work. The error I get is:
TV-out not supported while application running. Phone display only.
What good is the HDMI cable and the $25 credit? While I was typing, I got hung up on while the hold music was playing. Second time!

According to Samsung support you CANNOT playback movies purchased via Media Hub and play them back via the HDMI/MHL adapter. Licensing restrictions are the main reason why. As for the "what's the point of the HDMI cable" question that I can answer with a simple response - some of us rip and encode our own videos. Those CAN be played via the HDMI cable.
Level said it is impossible, then said, yes you should be able to. I was on the phone with them again and got hung up on again when transferring me to level 3 support! WTF!

So I followed the instructions on that came with the HDMI adapter and it will not work at all. I purchased a movie and want to watch it on the big screen and this is killing me trying to watch it on the small screen.
What am I doing wrong?
I think that you cant watch media hub movies thru the HDMI output. there was a post about this issue somewhere.

This is correct. I think I read the same post. Movies purchased via Media Hub are NOT licensed for playback on anything except the phone itself. Only Galaxy S phones are licensed for output-to-TV playback per Samsung support.

yep. thats kind of messed up tho. Samsung better clean their sh*t up. starting with their gps on some devices.
hmmmmmm that does suck...
Well It still does not even play the movies I recored myself on the screen. I saw a video on youtube showing that is worked but not with the settings that need to be set to get it to output the phone to the screen.
you should be able to play anything that is not protected. the trailers on the phone work great for me. maybe you have a defective unit, test it with the movie trailers they provide.
Did you connect the power cable to your MHL adapter, also use the charge block & cable that came with the Infuse, then make sure your tv is set on the Input(HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc) that you have the HDMI connected to. SHould work after making sure you follow these steps.
I couldn't do it with my usual charging block, so I had to use the original one that came with the Infuse 4G.
some times hdmi is funky.is evrything hdmi 1.3? some hdmi devices are incompatable
How do I get the HDMI working on the charge? I don't see an option for it anywhere, and I didn't get a prompt when hooking up my phone to the TV

plug the cable into your device and then into your tv it will work automatically. there is really nothing to be done on your end except making sure your tv is on the right input and you are using the correct cable.

This is the cable I bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VWYBC2
Works great, don't need to touch any settings; just plug in and go.
I did read that this cable has issues with HDMI 1.4 so if you have a brand new TV, you should look elsewhere.
I just picked up a cheap cable at Target. It works flawlessly. As started before, make sure the cable is hooked up to the right input, make sure the phones screen is on.

What do u guys think of this?
I would suggest not taking a gamble with an adapter, which can always introduce extra problems, when you can get a complete 3' cable for less:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10253&cs_id=1025301&p_id=6973&seq=1&format=2
Or a 6' cable for about $1.50 more:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10253&cs_id=1025301&p_id=6974&seq=1&format=2
There are a bunch of other lengths and options on MonoPrice, as well, and whichever way you go you'll be better off than overpaying in a physical store.
Doesnt work?
I did this on my charge, plugged into phone and then tv. Still says no signal? Cable is brand new from monoprice. I am running a different kernel and ROM, could that be an issue?

If you're sure you're on the right input and wiggling the cable in the phone doesn't help you could have a bad cable. My first one crapped out within seconds of beginning to use it.

Your TV might not like the signal the phone is putting out. My tv, which is a dinosaur in terms of 1080p tvs (its actually the first one to market, and has a DVI input) is finicky with certain resolutions, and alas, my droid charge through hdmi does not work either. Try a different TV to rule out a bad cable...
Quick question. Does the image mirror the resolution of the phone? Because whenever I hook up my charge, it seems to be missing some area on the top and bottom but I'm thinking this is justthe resolution of the phone.

OK, I have no idea what I'm missing here. When I plug the HDMI cable into the phone, nothing happens. TV stays black and I get no prompt on the phone. What am I missing here? The cable is brand new, Andy phone is not rooted. I'm running go launcher and go locker. Any help?

Is it a motorola hdmi cable?
No, it's a rocketfish. I wondered I ft that would matter. Are HDMI cables not standardized yet?

Recently I order a brand new MediaBridge HDMI cable from Amazon from a friend for use in India in a sealed box & it did not work when I attached it to the phone & my Dell laptop. What could be the reason? Is there any symbol supposed to pop up on the phone or the laptop & on hindsight I just got thinking (gave the cable back now) in case if no symbol is supposed to pop up would directly playing a video on the phone while the hdmi cable is attached make it play on the laptop??
Don't want to be a smartass or anything but I hope you're selecting HDMI as the Source on your TV.
As I mentioned I tried on my Dell laptop running Win 7....is there anything specific I needed to do besides just connecting either ends between the phone & the laptop to get the HDMI working?

I'm sure it the HDMI Micro to HDMI connection from phome to laptop will not work. Laptop HDMI should only be an output, not an input. It will work from phone to a monitor or tv. Once connected you will be prompted to make a choice on the A2 for a display mode.
I bought a Dynex cable from BB that works fine with the Atrix 2 when connected to a monitor or tv.

Thanks. Yes you are right it is a micro hdmi (phone) to regular HDMI port on the Laptop. DAYMN..they should specify to unsuspecting users like me. IMHO many people would not be aware about this.
Just received the one for the S3 today. hooked it up, got good video and sound from my Sony Bravia TV. One problem, the video refreshes or goes blank every few seconds on the TV. What can be causing this (Bluetooth on ?). I searched the forums with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

I know when i tried my friends MHL with an adapter for the 11 to 5pin configuration it was constantly refreshing when switching screens or orientation. I wonder if some of these S3's have issues and we dont find out unless we try out the MHL.
I had the same problem, I had the official Galaxy S2 MHL adapter with the 5 > 11pin adapter that was released by Samsung.
Same thing, the screen would go black every few seconds and I would lose sound. I contacted the seller of the mhl adapter and he send a new one but I still had the same problem, so I ended up returning both adapters until I can get a stable adapter =\ I don't know why but i would love to know as well why this is happening. I also have a sony tv.
This is the adaptor I am using:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0080CXSOU/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00
I play Blue-Ray rips that are ripped at super high quality from my phone with no problems whatever.

But is that only once you have it running you dont touch the phone again? When i was using the MHL adapter it was to play a game and every time the screen changed, ie.. from menu to gameplay, it would flash and lose sound as the above poster said. May be an issue with the 11>5 pin adapter not sure.

Well, I have never played a game thru HDMI but I do get calls/texts etc which interrupt the movie and it always starts right up again with no problem. It also works perfectly to play MP3's & video thru my killer car stereo/video system that is hooked up thru an HDMI scaler.
I will try a game later when I get out of work & see how that works.

Hi guys. I'm kind of interested in this...will any generic USB -> HDMI adapter work on our phones, or does it have to be a special Samsung one?
Generic adapters?
Anyone try one of these adapters yet?

I haven't used my Infinity in a few months and instead of selling it I'm thinking about recommissioning it as a media player for the living room, but I have a few questions first.
Is it possible to connect a tv via hdmi and have the tablet only playback the video on the tv or will it always play on the tablet itself too?
The keyboard dock has a usb slot, is it possible to connect a usb hub and connect maybe 3-4 hard disks (with external power supply) to it? And if so, what kind of transfer speeds are we looking at? Is 48Mbps realistic?
Thanks in advance.

When you connected the hdmi to the TV, your device screen will be black. Second question is yes, you can plug a mini usb hard disk to the dock usb and play back the movie from the external hard disk and streaming to your TV.

I can confirm the same findings.
Beware. The 4.2.1 OTA broke my HDMI. Evidently it's rare but it does happen. In the process of downgrading now.
