MHL/HDMI support?

I just got the rogers verson of the skyrocket yesterday and was thinking of going to buy a MHL adapter so i can use the HDMI.
is there any HDMI/MHL support in the stock rogers rom?
also is there away around the bluetooth stack problem so i can use sixaxis or wiimote to control emulators? if not it looks like i gotta buy that phonejoy game controller.

dont see where there wouldn't be support in the stock rom. The more difficult thing is to find the adapter in canada.

MHL to HDMI is supported on all SGS2 phones

MHL adapter is working with my AT&T Skyrocket SGH-I727. Attached are a few pics and a link to a video I just made showing proof.
Should work with your Rogers version as well.

No problem, you're welcome!

Hypathetically, if you want to watch a video or movie from the phone (lined to your tv monitor), will the screen on the phone turn off to conserve battery? Or is it possible to turn off the screen without stopping the video from playing on the monitor? Thanks.

Would the MHL adapter charge the phone when connected to the television?

On my Skyrocket and my International SGS2, the phones will not output video unless I have the microUSB cable plugged into the MHL adapter.
The MHL Adapter plugs into the microUSB port on bottom of phone. The MHL Adapter has an input for a microUSB to charge/power the phone and an input for the HDMI cable to TV.

Good question Mike,
I've only "tested" the connection from phone to TV, I haven't watched a full movie/video.
As for conserving phone battery power, my phone will not output video via MHL unless I have the microUSB cable plugged into the MHL adapter.

I doubt it but i do not have an hd tv anymore. So would there be a way to use an mhl adapter and somehow convert to rca. And if we have to use an mhl adapter for video out im guessing a micro usb to rca would output nothing or just sound? Anyone?

Maybe using a HDMI to Composite converter would work
http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Composit...TF8&coliid=I16ARD8PBYT1ZI&colid=2X9SHCO024ETT
The MHL adapter has a microUSB cable that plugs into bottom of phone.
Then the MHL adapter has 2 other holes on it. a microUSB hole to charge/power the phone/adaptor. A HDMI output.
You might be able to use the HDMI to Composite converter I linked above for your purposes.
Hope that was a better description of the connections involved.

Thank you and yes i have seen those just wasnt sure if the signal would properly convert threw all thoae changes lol micro to mhl to hdmi to composite lol

Im going too pick up the mhl adapter and a hdmi to composite so if anyone else wanted to know ill post my results this weekend

Excellent! Looking forward to hearing about your results with this project.
I thought about that HDMI to Composite as well so I could output video from my phone to my car stereo 7" screen. Just for the heck of it to see if it would work.
Good luck Guinea Pig!

Btw.. If you want to play your videos on your wired/wireless tv, you can try a app called twonky.

Stupid question: when I connect the phone to the TV using the adapter should it automatically show up on the TV or is there an app or setting I have to go through first?
I tried connecting it once and nothing happened.

i think you have to have power plugged in also at the same time. Then i read some posts about possibly needing to reboot the phone with everything plugged in.
to my understanding once its plugged in, everything gets displayed on the screen.. home screen/apps/everything

Allshare Dongle & HDMI Converter

Probably a bit of a stretch here but if anyone can help I'm sure it's the XDA community.
I have the AllShare Cast Dongle and it works fantastic. Use it with HDMI connection regularly, also use an HDMI to VGA Adapater. I purchased an HDMI to composite adaptor but can't get that to work.
http://www.amazon.com/Sanoxy-HDMI-C...qid=1350066401&sr=1-1&keywords=hdmi+composite
I've done some searching and have found people with AppleTV and have also used the adapter with my laptop, so I know it works. The problem though is that it seems the AllShare Cast Dongle doesn't turn on when it's plugged into this device.
I can get the tablet to connect momentarily but it always disconnects and the device turns off. Anyone used something with the AllShare Cast Dongle to convert the HDMI to composite? Could you share what it is?
Any suggestions on why this setup might not be working?

Can you please confirm the model number of your allshare cast dongle?

The sticker with S/N reads "Model: EAD-T10JDEBXAR"

Can you please check another hdmi to vga convertor?

I couldn't get it to work with an HDMI to DVI converter cable.

HDMI to VGA works fine. OP states that and that the problem is using the dongle with an HDMI to composite adaptor.

What HDMI to VGA adapter are you using? I can't get mine to work, but it works fine if I plug the HDMI.directly into a TV.

allshare cast dongle
when you use the allshare cast dongle the phone gets hot??? I need to know because i want one of this dongles, because when using the mhl adapter the phone gets hot.

I wonder if the dongle need to handshake with the TV HDMI port, if you are using a VGA adapter it wont be able to do this which is why you get a picture for a moment then lose it?. The allshare case Dongle isnt meant to be used that way so I'm not too surprised it doesn't work.

I've never experienced my tab getting hot from using the allshare cast dongle.
Might be getting hot because of the power drain through the wired connector, but the allshare cast dongle uses wireless connection. If your tab/phone doesn't get hot using wifi then it won't using dongle....

I think maybe you have got a fake hdmi converter. So i suggest you should buy a new high quality and original hdmi converter from this professional website: www.hdgenius.com

Help-Problem with hdtv adapter/ TV

Hi, i recently bought the hdtv adapter(EPL-3PHPBEGINU) for my galaxy tab 7.0 plus and i was very disappointed when i connected it to my TV(Sony Bravia KLV-40NX500) and nothing came up. Did a lot of googling, went through forums but couldn't find what's going wrong.
In the manual of hdtv adapter it is mentioned that tv should support anynet+(HDMI-CEC) , my tv has sony's own branding of HDMI-CEC(Bravia sync). I also came across forums where they mentioned sony bravia TVs worked fine with samsung mhl adapters.
Anyone who has used the hdtv adapter, please share your experience.
When i connect hdtv adapter to tab, there is sound that dock is connected and also tab screen refreshes. And yes i have connected my charging cable to mhl adapter and phones charges off it.
I am using a HDMI 1.4 cable to connect from adapter to tv.
I am running stock ICS 4.0.4 on my tab.

Try an different HDMI cable. Things are sometimes picky about cables.

May be this is the right adapter EPL-3PHPBEGSTA.

While connecting the HDTV adapter power adapter also should be plugged in. Please check and tell. I'm also waiting to buy the same adapter. i have a samsung gt-p6200
I think EPL-3PHPBEGSTA and EPL-3PHPBEGINU are same item. I think INU stands for india. In samsung india and samsung US sites the part number is shown as EPL-3PHPBEG if you search for EPL-3PHPBEGSTA and EPL-3PHPBEGINU.

Hi,
i bought the same adaptor and my tv is panasonic. It didnot work with the hdmi cable i had, a cheap one. I bought a new belkin 2mtr hdmi cable nw it is working for me.

[Help] n5 not connecting to TV.

Hello guys,
My nexus 5 is not connecting with the TV via usb cable. Previously I had a phone and I use to play movies from that phone to the TV. What to do???

You need to buy a Slim Port adapter. It plugs into the HDMI port of your TV, not USB.
Edit: Or if you have a smart TV, screencast. In display settings.

Slimport? Will it work with 'LCD' cuz I don't have smart TV or HDTV??

What TV do you have? You need a HDMI on your TV

Yep it does have a HDMI port BTW its lg 42 inch

"lg 42 inch" hardly tells us anything lol..

If your TV is a 42' LCD with HDMI ports, I'm pretty sure it's a HDTV. Link to your television if you can find it? As long as there's a working HDMI connection, slimport should work.
Just pick one up from RadioShack or something. Keep the receipt. If it doesn't work just go back and tell them that and return it.

Well, I live in Pakistan and I can't find a slimport nearby me but yes I found a Mhl cable will it work?

No

MHL is for Samsung devices. Nexus uses a slimport to plug it on an HDTV and yes your TV is HDTV since it has an HDMI port

Micro USB to HDMI cable for Moto X Play?

Hi!
Does anyone know whether connecting our phone to a TV via Micro USB to HDMI cable would work?
If so, is there a cable you'd recommend?
I loved using my previous smartphone as a portable movie player and I'd love to do the same with my XT1562.

you could buy a micro usb mhl hub to hdmi which normally includes a few ports other than hdmi. I haven't tested it myself but the prospect of installing Kodi into the phone, plug the mhl hub, hdmi cable to the tv, plug a bluetooth mouse adapter to the mhl hub usb port then you get a small android tv player. the only problem would be charging the phone, I'm not sure if the mhl hub could charge it.
Tell you what, I have an old moto Atrix HD with dual port (mini hdmi and micro usb). Perhaps I should buy the mhl hub and see if it works.

AFAIK Moto have no MHL nor Slimport, so it's not able to send video through MicroUSB.

Depending on your TV you could use screencasting.
