[Q] Galaxy S3 Samsung MHL 11pin cable not stabile

Alright, I have searched and searched for a solution to this issue.
What started this all off is that I purchased a Pioneer AppRadio 2 that I wanted to connect my Verizon Galaxy S3 too. I plugged everything in correctly got a connection from the appradio app and with a nice crystal clear display. Then in 7 seconds it all went down hill from there. So after a lot of troubleshooting here is essentially what it does. Once plugged in after a few seconds the display comes up and if I have music going it starts playing, then in 7(est) seconds I lose signal dor a second and then it comes back for another 7 seconds, etc... I have tested a ton of things and still get the same results...
Devices: AppRadio2, Yamaha Reciever (This decodes HDMI before sending it on) and a Samsung DLP Television
HDMI Cables: Generic HDMI, High end Monoprice and a Mid Level Monoprice HDMI
USB: 3 different cables
Power Adapters: Car 1.0A and 2,0A; Home: 1.0A Verzon power adapter and attached to PC
Phones: I replaced my Galaxy S3 with another thinking it was the phone itself (Verizon warranty)
MHL Adapter: I purchased two Samsung MHL GS3 MHL adapters from amazon (two different vendors), EPL-3FHUBEG, (I had links in here but the damn forum won't let me leave em in).
I have been on the phone with Samsung for hours and verizon. The Samsung tier 2 support tech has opened a ticket with research or something and am currently waiting to be contacted in some way.
Has anyone else experienced similar? Any solutions?
Thank You...

At this point I can only charge my Samsung galaxy s3 with pieonerr android cable that I had installed at BestBuy they also installed my appradio 2. Not exactly sure what to do next

First off to really get the most out of the unit got should arlibitator in the play store it will blow your mind.
That being said there has been a lot of talk on the forums that the mhl adapter sold on amazon are in fact fakes. I can confirm this add I purchased one from amazon abs after having issues with 4g cutting out I got one directly from Samsung, that don't even feel the same. So your charging problem could be from using a bad mhl.
On a side note the pioneer charger only puts out about 500ma which isn't enough to charge the battery normally. Most ppl installed a 3.1v charger from amazon.

Charging works but everything else dont. Head unit dosent see phone when plugged in. Want to order the parts I need asap. Not sure what to order

So the Galaxy Gear is the only smart watch i know of with a camera at the moment, but Qualcomm is coming out with a smart watch called the Toq, that has a battery life of 2-3 days, but it uses wireless charging in some sort of case. The Toq also comes with bluetooth headphones.
I couldn't imagine having to charge the galaxy gear every day to much of a hassle.
Keep an eye out for a Google smart watch.

I'm using the Onn brand sold at Wal-Mart. I haven't had an issue with it at all. I got mine at a local goodwill. It comes with the main adapter and an adapter for Samsung devices. It also can charge the device at the same time.

I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-t2801885
Seems like the HDMI adapter situation is a total mess. The MHL standard is a joke, because apparently no one bloody follows it correctly.

Unfortunately i live in Europe. So i can not go to Walmart and grab it.
And yes it is really messed up I can not be sure if the product i wanna buy is gonna be compatible.

Any MHL3 works.

Is there an MHL adapter that will work without needing to be plugged in to a power source? I just bought one off Amazon, but it certainly didn't work without being plugged in to power....
