Anyone wondering if the Infuse MHL will work on the Sensation? IT DOES! - HTC Sensation

Hey guys!
Recently took the plunge in the Marketplace and purchased a new Samsung Infuse MHL cable.
Stupid me, I didn't even check threads to see if it would work on the Sensation, shortly after, I noticed alot of people having problems with MHL cables on their Sensation.
Well, I received the Samsung MHL today and it works 150% on my Sensation running the latest Leedroid.
Simply plug USB from MHL into Sensation, Power charger to MHL, and HDMI to MHL and it will broadcast your phone on the TV. Everything you do on your phone will show up on your TV. I then selected a movie file (Halloween 4 ) and It works perfectly!
Just a heads up for anyone wondering!!

That's what I've been using for a couple of months now. The best part is you can plug the usb end to your laptop and set up the rest, it works fine but it doesn't charge. Just FYI

I was using insertcoin, I think it just shows its charging but its actually not. The icon just shows its charging. Keep it on for a while and let me know if it actually charges. The original tmo mhl cable couldn't do that.

Problems while charging

Is anyone else experiencing any problems while charging their sensation?
When I have it plugged in it seems to be very jumpy and doesn't recognize where I have touched on the screen. Example, it takes a few attempts to open the notification bar. Or I try to scroll through my home screens and it might bring up the customize menu etc etc

It did this to me the first time I plugged it in after bringing it home. I did a factory reset while it was still plugged in and it was still happening. I was about to take it back but it worked fine after unplugging and haven't had the problem since. Does this happen every time you plug it in?

I have not seen this problem with mine BUT I had the same problem with an old android phone (Behold 2--- HORRIBLE phone!) and it turned out to be a bad charger. I threw it out and got a new one. Problem solved. Have you explored more than one charger?
This usually happens if u use a non-stock charger, or if you connect too many devices to same power plug. Could this be the case?

Interesting... It happened to me with the stock Sensation charger. I normally plug my charger into the outlet on the wall my bed is pushed up against so I was pissed at the shape of the charger. I have been using my MT3G charger ever since because it hugs the wall. Makes me wonder if its the Sensation charger that is bad instead of just a fluke...
Just plugged it into the stock charger and yes, the charger is the problem apparently. Thank you for helping me discover the solution (which should have been quite obvious to me since switching chargers fixed it..) #Facepalm
This happen to me yesterday. It was fine if charged through my pc. But using the stock wall changer it started going crazy. So needless to say I exchanged it now all is right.
Funny thing is it worked perfect when I got it . Just yesterday it just started going crazy. So between this and unresponsive screen issues I just had to exchange it.

I think this could be the cause as it seems to be fine with the official charger.
I'm happy with this, at least it ain't me phone. Already sent one back.
Thanks for the replies y'all

Stuck in car kit mode

My phone automatically launches locations and stays on speaker mode whenever I call or answer.
I've read up on this and it seems to be linked to after market chargers from looks of it.
Anyone have any tips or experienced same problem and been able to fix I really don't wanna have to revert everything to stock to get a new one and do it all over again.
If I installed a new female charge port on phone would that fix it ?
Anyone got any cheaper ideas to save me time and money
Plz and thank you
Edit* omg found answer in hd2 forum HTC sucksI wiggled the usb cord in the female charge port till it exited outta navigator and speaker phone went off what a ghetto phone hope it doesn't happen again I don't know if i can wiggle it right again lmao
Sounds like HTC did something wrong with there charge ports sad its been happening since hd2 now on this phone

Are you charging via pc ??
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
Have you tried a different battery? Perhaps a new battery would solve the issue? This way you can see if it's the device or battery. If your still having troubles with a new battery it could be the device or the charger It's self. Hopefully its something as simple as needing a new battery but you must do some experimenting to find out. I'd start with a new battery and see if that corrects your issue. Best of luck.

Thank you for your reaction but ive tried already other chargers.. last night something else happend, normally when your battery is down and you charge it you can use your phone right? I have to charge my phone full before i can use it..

Erm, sounds like it's really dead I'm afraid
Have you attacked the usb slot with a small brush?
Tried a different cable?

If only charging died, i would suspect your battery. But as long as nothing is working, it should be mentioned port.
Well than the USB port broke.... Only thing to do is to find a place to fix you're device. Or buy galaxy s3 - One x

tried different cables,, no luck,, i think i have to get it repaired,, can anyone tell me for how much money ,, i can get it repaired??
EDIT: is it even possible to get it repaired??
You could try one of these:

Pretty cheap and looks easy to fit from the disassembly vids I have seen.

Thanks man! Is it possible that the my phone motherboard is ok? I have heard in these cases ,, u have to replace the whole motherboard,?? Or just the flex cable will work?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
No idea, but for that price its worth a go!
Mine charges but won't connect via adb, so I might try swapping mine one day
Also worth bearing in mind HTC's come with a 2 year warranty if you are still stock.

It might be your phone's microUSB socket.
Congratulations! :highfive:
Since the beginning of my stay here on the Desire S forum, I believe you are the first one to have this problem.. (correct me if I'm wrong)..
Have a look at the teardown video on YouTube and you will see the little connector that joins the USB port on to the main board. Make sure it is fully connected and if so then disconnect and reconnect. There is no electronics in there, so not much to go wrong unless you actually damage the connector.
i think your usb socket in your DS is damage.
Its a really bad feeling,,, u know

[Q] Skyrocket boots when charger is connected

I can't seem to find this particular problem anywhere. With my i727 off, when I connect the charger, any charger, it immediately boots up. I have turned off + on Boot - animation, sound, shutdown animation. I am on Embryo 6.11 and this has just started recently. Any suggestions?
If I had to guess I would say your usb port is dirty and contacts are being jumped.
Either that or the chargers you're using are no good.

Thanks, I thought it might be something like that. I will search for USB port cleaning techniques. also try to test chargers.

Not at the moment, however when I get home in a couple of days I will try that again. Thanks.
Stock charger works fine. Aftermarket unit appears to be the culprit. Even the wife's Blackberry stock and car charger (AT+T) work OK.
