Hi,
Im hoping someone may be able to help. I've had an s3, s4, s4 lte and now the dual sim s4. Its a great phone however I cant seem to get the hdmi out working, this is important for me as I run an app radio in my car, so use my s4 for everything from music to sat nav etc.
With my mhl adaptor from my s3, from my S4 and a new s4 mhl 2 adaptor. Each does the same thing. If the connector is only pushed in partially (presumably so the first row of contacts meet) then it charges only. If its pushed in further then it does nothing, no charge and no hdmi.
Has anybody got the hdmi working on a dual sim s4?
Cheers Gav
Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same problem with my s4 i9502, no HDMI out on the Smartdock EDD-S20.
Maybye I will try with a stock ROM (Android 4.3 ?).
If anybody has ever succed to activate the MHL video on this phone, please advice !
I will also try with the samsung wireless HDMI receiver, hope it will work.
Regards
Hello,
What I have understood from the Chinese forums (Google translation...) is that it is a software / firmware limitation
The workaround that I have found (works on my i9502) is to use the samsung allshare cast dongle (HDMI wireless transceiver).
But it works only thanks to the modification of a lib (see this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45605884, personnaly I used root browser app to do it).
It seems that flashing a stock Rom for a i9500 is possible (even if you lose the dual-sim function..) so this could enable the MHL function.
I do hope that one day someone will find the trick to make HDMI out works one the i9502.
Regards

Hi, i'm new in this king of stuff and i have past the last two days looking into many page of different forum for connecting my Appradio3 (sph-da210) with my Samsung galaxy s4 which is rooted and updated the Wicked Rom v7 for galaxy s4 t-mobile version. I buyed the Samsung OEM MHL adapter that i connect to my HDMI cable in the back of my HU and my stock USB cable that's also connected behing my HU. Everything is looking to work i can see my phone screen mirror on my appradio3 but CAN NOT USE THE TOUCHSCREEN ....i have a Red X with the hand ...can somebody help me with this ..I would very appreciate ! .....I've read that maybe it's the ROM version of my s4 that makes all this appens ..i'm little bit lost with all this ...thanks to everybody who will help me !
My simple question about all this would be ...
How can i have the touchscreen control of my S4 on my appradio3 ?
Hi people
So I bought the tegra note 7 recently, before discovering that a 4G LTE version was on the way. So I wanted to know if there was any way to make voice calls with this tablet using an external USB dongle and my sim. My USB OTG cable is in transit as of now so I'm not sure even if the tablet supports external dongles.
Any and all help is appreciated.
P.S. this is my first thread post here. (and I'm not very smart with such stuff)
Plz help.

The Note certainly has a microphone because there is a built in voice recorder. You can't see the voice recorder in the app tray, but it's on the tablet (I stumbled upon it after I installed Nova Launcher then was looking at what shortcuts/actions I could assign to the dock).
As for using a USB dongle with OTG, I haven't tried it because I have a MiFi. Perhaps someone else can chip in...
C'mon guys...help a newbie
M prepared to compromise now... ..i think 'tablet talk' will suit me and sync and transfer all my calls and texts from me cell to tab over wifi direct or bluetooth but if some one could suggest a free alternative for it?
i need something to transfer all my calls and texts to my tab and vice versa...possibly over bluetooth.
well i wanted to root my s4 so i could use joystick center touch server along with an app im working on, but now i cant get mhl to work on my s4 i9505 it worked the same day 4 hours before i rooted it and today when i tired to test on my tv just hdmi connected, black screen.
i know the cable works because it works on my sister phone which is from the same shop i acquired mine from, but her phone is unrooted with knox flag 0x0 where as mine is now 0x1 but im on the original tw 4.4.2 rom the knox came with so im confused.
help me someone thanks
It's one of those things that isn't mention when you trip Knox. You lose HDMI out.
This is a fix for screen mirroring and Allsharecast. Maybe it also works for HDMI out.

what if someone opened up a stock tw rom and took the files hdmi relies on then overwrite them on a 0x1 device maybe hdmi would work since the new files wouldnt have been modified by knox?
That won't work because the rom files remain default when knox sets to 0x1.
What steps did you try from the post I gave? I can't test it, but from what I read it should work.
I know this thread has seen a couple of full moon's but I did a lot if searches an read a lot of post's and websites but I don't know how to manage this issue.
since my knox is dripped to 0x1 mhl/hdmi adabter has stopped working.
Has anybody done research of fixing this problem Or is there a work around?
Thanks for your replies
Best regards
CatRR
#EDIT:
I'm on build: KOT49H.I9505XXUGNK4
Baseband: I9505XXUGNK4
Any ideas?

Can this one work on lollipop too???
It is made for android 4.3 but worked as well on 4.4 kitkat bat as lollipop is such a major update I don't think it will work there.
MHL stopped working after Rooting
Hi,
my experience with an S5 G900F running Android 5.0.1 stock ROM is, that before rooting MHL works fine with different adapters available on the market.
After rooting however, at least one of them (it's a 5-in-1 adapter with HDMI, USB-A, SD, Micro-SD Slot) stopped working at all, while the original Samsung MHL (MHL to HDMI) adapter still works fine. Anotherone, it's a cable with HDMI plug on the one side and one cable coming out of that, with a USB-A plug on the other side, and the second cable coming out of the HDMI plug is the MHL which goes to the phone. The vendor of that cable is "CSL computers", an Ebay shop. It costs just a few Euros and works fine with the rooted phones. I tried two different G900F and a GT-I9300. All with Stock ROM and all rooted.
Cheers,
Hartwig

Hi im having same problem with SM-G906L
(S5 prime lte lgu+ korean) After 6.01 root, no mhl. Ive ordered samsung mhl after my red generic version stopped working.
Hopefully samsung mhl cable will fix problem.
Im thinking this is a cheeky way for samsung to sell more of there accessories to 'phone rooters' without pissing off everyone else. Could be wrong.
Thanks harwigw for some hope on this one

Little update on this, from my experience, rooting does NOT affect MHL support at all. It all depends on the ROM that you are using. Stock ROM always works fine, rooted or not. (I am using CWM auto-root). It even perfectly supports fun stuff like CEC Remote Control. The one adapter that I mentioned as not working anymore turned out to have a wire broken, and worked again after I soldered it back on.
If you are installing a custom ROM, then MHL goes south. I once saw it working with CM11 on an i9300 and then never again. On CM11 the phone freezes as soon as I plug in the MHL adapter, and eventually reboots.
Maybe a Custom ROM that is based on Samsung-StockROM-code will support MHL, but I have not tried that, so I cannot confirm.

Test
I recently added service to my S4 At&t mdl version. It's running Goldeneye 53 from several months ago. It's 5.0.1 lollipop. I've read that since 4.3 people have been having issues getting video out working. I have a new Alpine x009u in my vehicle but it won't show video. I have a new Samsung mhl and an older one which I don't know from where. My Alpine will show Chromecast on the screen but I don't want to use this device as a hotspot for Chromecast. I thought I could get it to mirror but it still wants a WiFi connection. Any help would be great. I tried connecting my s4 to a standard TV hdmi but no luck either.
Hope someone could help me with this. I have been using an iPhone for the last 5 years and in such I have a Pioneer Appradio 4. I am trying to see if I could make the android jump and purchase a S7 edge.
My Appradio supports mirrorlink as well as Appradio live which is garbage.
What I have been reading is there is no Mhl / hdmi support on an s7. However mirrorlink is available on the phone. Is anyone able to confirm that the S7 will connect via mirrorlink on my Appradio? I have been looking everywhere for an answer but most of the stuff is for the older galaxy phones. Sorry if I'm a bit ignorant to searching android stuff I've been chained to iOS and CarPlay for too long.
*Side question-- with Miracast do you lose all connectivity to cell data?
Thanks for all the help in advance
If your Pioneer Carplay head unit supports also Android Auto you can use this method for connecting.
Miracast doesn't interfere with the phone running data connections (wifi or mobile).
Unfortunately it doesn't support android auto. Which is pretty lame.
I dont't know about your head unit, but generally Mirrorlink should work also with the Samsung S7 Edge.
Thanks for the info now my only question is will it work with ARunchained reloaded once this is set I'll be ordering my Galaxy and getting off this iOS nonsense

For that app to work it's required to root the Galaxy S7Edge.
Anyway, if you're not used with Galaxy rooting, Knox and related possible Samsung warranty limitations, you can find these information on the forum. Moreover, to be able to root you need to buy the Exynos version, not the Qualcomm 820.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/index-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-t3382679
Okay good I found it on the website it has the exynos processor. Once it's rooted and I change everything I should be able to run this app then? I messaged Area51 hopefully he will message back regarding it. Thanks again for all the info and help.

Yes it works
I can confirm you that Galaxy S7 works with mirrorlink and the AppRadio 4. The sound and video quality are simply perfect. I have been using MHL before with Sony Xperia and ARU, mirrorlink is better. The only issues are the restrictions that mirrorlink implements in the navigation, no recent apps none slide notifications, etc. Hope some friend could mod "Samsung Mirriorlink.app" to break freee these limitations but also in the current situation i recomend you to use mirrorlink with Galaxuy S7 because as I said, the stability and quality are just perfect.
appradio 4 mirror link
did u have to disable android auto?

so it will only work with rooting your s7 edge? if so how do I root my s7 edge? I to want to use mirrorlink with the sph-da120
I Just installed the SPH-120 and I can only get my Galaxy s7 to connect to blue tooth. Tried the developer mode with USB debugging, Switched to MTP configurations, and both USB ports along with multiple APPS. and I cannot get it to connect.
When I connect to the second USB port, Both the phone and radio attempt to connect but the phone screen shuts off and the radio says incompatible USB (original cable).
Hi how do you connect wich cables you use to get it working like you say?

I just created an account here so I can add a reply in case anyone struggles to get MirrorLink to work. I got an SPH-DA120 to work with my Samsung S7 Edge. I went through the same process of connecting the phone, seeing the connected message on the phone screen, and then the SPH-DA120 screen says "Incompatible USB." I thought it was an error but it was simply my failure to understand MirrorLink. You have to first get a certified MirrorLink app on your phone and then choose the home button (or whatever it is...looks like a Windows 7 start menu) and your certified MirrorLink apps will show up there. When you choose the USB/Ipod2 source the HU will always say "Incompatible USB." In my case I used RockScout, which then gives you access to everything on the phone by selecting a "Choose Source" option--that mirrors your phone's screen and provides a gateway to everything on your phone.
Maybe this process is common knowledge about MirrorLink but I spent way too much time googling this and trying random things to get the phone to connect. Something else worth noting is you need a high quality USB cable. The HU seems fine with USB extensions (even cheap ones) but it requires a high quality cable to connect to the phone. Some work, some don't. Not even all Samsung cables work.
One more thing...I actually contacted Pioneer's customer support to get assistance with this. To my surprise they replied to my initial email within an hour. That's impressive for customer support at a large company like that. Admittedly I figured out that the USB cable was the problem shortly after I sent the email but the quick response from them was nice.
Can somebody confirm if a non rooted Galaxy S7 can MirrorLink using rockscout while in motion using the 7000nex soft touch bypass? Trying to mirror every app and function while in motion using the nex. This includes YouTube, Google maps, chrome etc
Great information here. I just started driving a Jeep with appradio 4 in it . I have a galaxy s8 plus. Any advice what to do?
Still stuck with my note 8. Stock android Mirrorlink works but very limited. I tried with rockscout, button savior, LG mirrordrive app etc to screen mirror my phone but n way. The only fault is with Messenger pop-up showing nicely on my car screen. So I tried rooting my phone with magisk and hide my root but the Mirrorlink app is not working anymore. When connected to my phone it says authentification not valid... and the database is no more the same when I want to add some apps in pkgnames...
Hi,
I have problem with mirrorlink pioneer sph-da110 with galaxy s7 edge when I connet via usb I see mirrorlink in appradio. I click in mirrorlink then I see Lg Mirrordrive an I choose this after that I have dark screen and nothing else happens. Somebody can help my where is problem?
