MHL Adaptor

I have not seen ir mentioned, but just thought I'd mention the Bizlink at MobileFun works with the Sensation. They've had stock and more arriving Monday.
As far as I can see the official one is still not out.

I don't know about European availabilty. I bought one from Tmobile here in the states for $25. plus. Still have not tried it, but they were in stock and it actually arrived very quickly.

All the adapters, regardless of manufacturer should work, thats part of the whole point of MHL - its a standard connection type. My prototype MHL adapter, and my Samsung MHL adapter both also work with the Sensation.

I got my MHL adapter today from Tmobile.
Doesn't seem to work. Tried connecting power adapter to the MHL adapter as well. HDMI input does not even recognize. Tried on TV and Pico projector.
Will return for an exchange. Hopefully a bad piece.

Mine didn't work the first time I connected it either. I rebooted the phone and it came up fine.

Any other ideas? I have 2 mhl adapters both don't seem to work. I also tried 2 sensations after a reboot.

Mine arrived today from Expansys. Just short if £13. Worked first time and seems perfect. Plugged everything in and then power last of all to the adaptor. Displays everything thats on the screen fine. A right bargain compared to what Htc want on pre order.
Just a thought, I don't have my broadband atm but as anyone tried anything like bbc iPlayer through it and if so what does it look like?

Ordered this adapter hoping it would work on my Flyer - no such love, wrong plug. Brand new/never used, and for sale. $30 shipped in the US. PM me if interested. Paypal preferred. Thanks.

This is what interests me, otherwise I don't really have much use for one. Which HDMI cable is needed for these gadgets, is it one with the standard full size ends or mini connectors?

Mine has a standard full size HDMI connector on it.
I just got the cheapeast one off ebay. Cost about £9. It's white.

OK, I'll take a look there too.

Hey does anyone have there hml adapter working on a Rom besides stock? Once I rooted and switched to android revolution I can't get it to work. I took out the battery and rebooted but is still not working?

Yes.
I am using Android Revolution HD 3.6.7 and it works fine!
Phil

And I tried it with 3.6.7 last night and it didn't work at all. Bulletproof 1.4 works but he connection is spotty. I would really like to figure out how to turn it on manually.

I received my MHL adapter today and the BBC iPlayer does work with it, the picture if quite pixelated in comparison to say Youtube, but it is watchable.

Cheap MHL adaptor
I bought a cheap MHL adaptor from ebay, £7.07 including postage.
Used it on my (factory fresh, never rooted or updated) sensation XE, android 2.3.4, HTC Sense 3.0.
The adaptor worked perfectly, sensing connection, screen on off, everything.
MHL Adapter Micro USB to HDMI Galaxy S2 i9100 G14 Flyer

MHL (micro USB to HDMI) adapter works fine!

I just tested today my MHL adapter from monoprice (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2) and it works just fine.
It actually mirrors the phone screen all times but I could not change this behavior.

Sweet! I really dig monoprice... they did me good on hdmi cables.
I was curious to know if your touch inputs on the phone transfer over to the TV set as well. Like a circle appearing where your fingers are touching the screen.

kind of a stupid question but does this remove the phone charging abilities?

no. there is a micro usb port on the side of the adapter for charging.
In fact, you must have it charging to work.

I bought the monoprice one and, while it has a charging port, it doesn't require the charging cord to be plugged in in order to work... It just won't charge the phone at the same time if it's not plugged in.

Problems with 2012 Camaro.

Hey I have a '12 Camaro SS and it has its own USB port (for iPhone and iPod.) But I charge my S3 on it. Every time I connect to it I get this message

I don't care about music since it has an auxiliary input but I just hate the message. Can I get rid of it? Also the Camaro tries to read it so it's just an awkward silence when the radio goes out can I do anything so my s3 won't be detected but charged.?

Buy a car charger. The computer in your car is incompatible. Much like radios having iPod support. But yours doesn't have android support. You can eliminate the wires which are not needed for charging, but that's risky in its self.

You have two options. The first is to just get a car charger. The other is to enable UMS mode. Doing that would allow your camaro to read the phone as a regular USB thumb drive. I'm not sure if it would work for the internal SD card alone though, but it would definitely solve your problem if you had an external card in there (you could even put music on the card and play that through your car).

Since cables have molded plugs, you cannot mod them easily. There are two USB cables available that come wired to prevent the phone from getting a data signal on the cable. This would keep both the radio and the phone from sensing each other. There is a problem however. Charging from a USB port most new phones limit their current draw because USB can only supply 500 milliamps (1/2 Amp). When an AC charger is used the phone draws more current and charges significantly faster. Fooling the radio's connection to the phone could result in damage to the USB port.
The use for these cables is to fool the phone when plugged into 12 volt car chargers that have USB connections. Most of these chargers are detected as a USB connection by the phone, and the phone refuses to draw more current. You can see whether the phone thinks it is charging from USB or AC in the settings menu or with many battery widgets.
Amazon has two modded cables one a "Naztech" and the other from PureGear.

To answer your question, you would need to find a USB cord that doesn't support data. That or like everyone else said, buy a car charger.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Haven't found anywhere online with them in stock though. Amazon, T-Mobile, and AT&T all list it as backordered or something similar. My corporate discount gets 25% off at Verizon, but they only have the flat one right now, sadly.

so it doesnt work? Disconnecting randomly isnt doing what its supposed to do. I dont consider it working unless it works like normal.

I bought the JBL PowerUp speaker, also made for the lumia... Same issue with disconnecting. (( I'm so frustrated.

im wondering if maybe using a high power (2-3 amp) USB adapter would make a difference.. like the ipad charger

amperage too low?
I'm hardly an engineer, but the specs say the DT-900 is only 300ma. Maybe that's causing the problem with the N4.

I tired both the Nokia puck and the JBL speakers in a Verizon store. Both had the infamous charging/not charging problem.
It's a no-go for either I'm afraid. I can assume the same for the Fatboy pillow too...

The charger works perfectly fine, you just have to make sure that the nexus 4 isn't sliding off because of the glass back. That'd what was causing it to connect/disconnect for me. Works great after I just put a piece of microfiber cloth on it before laying the phone down.

I've seen it mentioned that the reliability of the charging depends on whether NFC is turned on or off. Think it was mentioned by someone on Engadget. Not sure how that would affect the Qi charging, but worth a shot I suppose.

Guys, it very may work for Droidz, if you read The Verge's report you will notice that the charging issue seems to not affect ALL Nexus 4's, read below is an excerpt from The Verge's article
""The Nexus 4 and the Nokia DT-900 are supposed to properly work together," says Menno Treffers, chairman of the Wireless Power Consortium. Indeed, not everyone is having trouble pairing the Nexus 4 to the DT-900: Engadget reported success, for instance. But a single bad experience instills doubt in a standard that needs as much traction as it can get early on in the game."

Galileo support & HD Voice enable & Quick Charger?

Hi guys,
I have received my XZP (EU version) yesterday, love it so far but I would like to ask few things, pls:
1.) At Sony's page there is a mention that it supports Galileo. But I wasn't able to get any Galileo satelite :/ Does anybody know if it is going to be enabled in some update?
2.) Is there a way to enable something like "HD Voice"? When ppl who got P10, iP7 etc call me, I can hear them like they would standing 1 meter next to me. When I make a call from XZP, nobody noticed anything
3.) Is there a difference between UCH12 & UCH12W charger? I had a UCH20 (so no Quick Charge) one at box and I was wondering which one I should get. Also, could somebody tell a difference in "charging time", pls?
THx a lot

Puff, 2 hours with 50e charger?

I'm not sure I understand why the cable would make a difference. As I understand it, USB C uses a specific pin in the cable for devices and chargers to communicate charging needs.
I guess this could make a difference if the cable isn't actually wired using the USB C standard and rather uses the USB 2 or maybe 3 standard, but you would think that the included cable would be designed appropriately to maximize USB C standards.

It looks like that is just another variation of the UCH12W charger, but it's hard to say. Sony's accessories are just plain confusing and difficult to find, and it's really annoying. I ordered the UCH12W from eBay and am just waiting for it to get here because I couldn't find it anywhere else.
