Guys, I have a MHL HDMI adapter connected to my AV receiver (Denon AVR 2312) but the screen on the TV just flicks and no phone display appears. If connect the MHL HDMI adapter directly to the TV - it works. Anybody has tried to connect sgs4 to AV receiver via MHL HDMI adapter? I have 9505 with android 4.3 test version

I have the same Receiver (AU version with slightly better Audyssey) and can confirm it does work. I Have MHL cable plugged into SAT/CBL input. Have a look through your amps settings, specifically the input it's connected to.
What kind of cable is it- Official Samsung or Ebay Yum Cha?

Thanks. I use theoriginal Samsung MHL-HDMI adapgter... (but not original HDMI cabel). I tried all HDMI inputs, including the front AUX one... the phone shows me - Connect the HDMI directly to TV... very strange. I tried to make the HDMI settings in AVR not to upscale, not to convert etc.. But the same result.. Today I asked Denon support - they simply did not know what is this MHL
I have this same issue. Believe it or not, the input has to be an input specified for MHL/HDMI. Yes, it works if you plug directly into the TV, but if you try to pass it through a receiver input it won't go unless the input says so. Some receivers and some blu ray players have designated HDMI inputs that also handles MHL. If you look at the label of these inputs it won't just say HDMI, it will be labeled as MHL/HDMI.

What kind of an adaptor do I need to connect my nexus 10 to my TV (it's an older TV, not flat screen, not HD. I don't care about losing the HD, just the size.)
Thanks!
Micro HDMI to HDMI, DVI, or maybe even Component (not 100% sure on that). If the TV doesn't have any of that, then you'll likely need an Analog converter to go from HDMI to VGA, Composite, or RCA.

Check your TV. If it has HDMI, you want micro-HDMI to HDMI. If it doesn't have HDMI, but does have DVI, you'll want that.
If it has neither HDMI nor DVI, you'll need a new TV Or an HDMI to analog converter.
Nexus 10 to CRT TV connection
I have a nexus 10 tablet running stock 4.4.2. I bought an hdmi to rca converter from amazon.com and a micro hdmi to hdmi cable so that I could hook up the tablet to my old sharp crt tv. When I plug in the connections I am seeing a stripe coloured screen that says 'no signal ntsc'. when i turn the switch on the converter to pal it says 'no signal pal'. Could you tell me why this is happening and if anything could be done so that I can see the content from my tablet on my tv? Do I need any software/app installed to make this work? The only ports on the tv are the composite rca ones. I know the tv is old but its its 55 inches and in perfect working condition so I really don't want to purchase another so please if there is anything you know that would help I would be more than greatful.
My setup: the microhdmi to hdmi cable plugged into the micro hdmi port on the tablet, then the rca cable connects to the back of the tv and the rca ports on the converter. Should work?? Help me please. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Does anyone know if Slimport will work if I use a hdmi to vga adaptor/cable on the other end?
As in: Nexus 4>Slimport>HDMI cable>HDMI to VGA adaptor>Monitor.
Thanks
Don't take my word for it, but there is no HDMI to VGA adapter, you'd need a small converter box. Even with that box, I don't know if it will truly work.
What you could do for sure is Nexus 4 > Slimport > HDMI to DVI Adapter > DVI
Ah ok thanks. Searching amazon I see that they have HDMI to VGA in one single cable. do you think that would work?
Slimport to HDMI-VGA adapter didn't work

I tried what you mentioned but didn't work. I thought it was a "power" problem so I connected the power supply cable and didn't work either. I tested slimport and HDMI to DVI adapter separated and both work so I don't know what could be the problem.
I bought this HDMI to VGA adapter: Search for "Black HDMI Input to VGA Adapter Converter For PC Laptop" on Amazon, I cannot post external links yet
Problem might also be Slimport requiring HDCP... but I don't know if that is actually the case.
hey,
i can't get it to work through my av receiver (denon avr-1909),tv is lg 37lf66,or lf65,not sure now),of course i have 11pin mhl adapter from samsung,connecting directly to tv it just works,but not through receiver,it displays "Connect your device to the TV directly via the HDMI cable",i traced it to string "hdmi_connect_indirectly",which makes more sense than the message
so,is that some kind of protection,or what the ** is samsung trying to tell me? (this string is all that i can trace )
logcat captured as 'clear-connect-wait for text-stop'
that message "TvoutToast : Připojte zařízení přímo k TV pomocí kabelu HDMI" is my error message,only in czech lang
edit:forgot rom-currently omega 7,but the same problem was with stock,some earlier version,maybe a month back latest
I have the exact same issue on my i545 Galaxy S4 when using my Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter. It works fine connected directly to my TV, but not to my receiver. What's odd is that the old MHL cable for the S3 works fine with my receiver when connected to the S4
It makes me wonder if Samsung intentionally set it up like that. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this issue.
Problem connecting S4 through AV receiver
Hi Guys
We have the same problem - just upgraded our TV to Panny GT60 and AV receiver to Pioneer LX76 - connecting S4 to TV with Samsung MHL adapter works fine, but get the same message as above when trying to connect through the receiver (either using Pioneer's supplied cable & MHL port or the Samsung adapter via a normal HDMI port).
Contacted Samsung and had this response:
Dear Matt,
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Support.
I am sorry to hear the issues you are having in connecting your device to an AV Receiver. I can understand this is very frustrating.
Unfortunately with the HDMI output of the device we can only support a connection to a TV I am afraid. We are sorry for any inconvience but a connection to an AV Receiver is not a supported feature of the device.
If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.
Our Customer Support Team love feedback! Share your thoughts on this response by completing the survey at the bottom of this page.
Kind regards,
Thomas
Online Support Team
SAMSUNG Customer Support Centre
I've also emailed the MHL consortium as they list both devices (AV & phone) as "MHL compatible", but to be honest expect a similar answer. Pioneer think that it may be something to do with copy protection as if you can stream HD video via the receiver you could output it to a recording device of some sort.
Anyway, hope this helps,
Best
Matt.

Code:
Share your videos, photos and more on your HDTV! The MHL 2.0 HDTV Smart Adapter supports HD signals up to 1080p.
Connect directly to your MHL-enabled mobile phone with a Micro USB input to create an HDMI docking station.
Then, connect a standard HDMI cable for easy connectivity to home theater or monitor. In order to function,
the Adapter also needs to be connected to a power source via the Micro USB port on the adapter itself.
(HDMI Cable and Micro USB Travel Charger sold separately). MHL 2.0-enabled phones allow a higher charge
to be passed through the adapter, allowing you to play video without needing to attach a charger.
my home theater is denon avr-1909 + ue40es8000 and also my blood is starting to boil...
also(and i'm 99% sure this is in stock rom) there's option to select audio mode to stereo/multi-channel,sure to prevent piracy..
aaaand one more thing....i can play music to receiver when i disconnect tv from receiver(i could disable hdmi-cec,but you know.. ),so it appears,that s4 don't like more than one device on hdmi bus(as we know,that all devices must talk to sender i guess,in this case s4),so this seems as a bug to me....
i'd like to see any mention about galaxy s4 supporting only tv as hdmi device...
edit 4.9.: got +- the same answer as Matt ...still trying,because i believe this is bug,maybe cyanogenmod has some cure(i think i checked and it was the same,so maybe some closed cource firmware?)..let's hope for samsung fix

S4/hdmi works with note2 or S3 cable
Hi All,
I also have the same issues with ET-H10FAUWESTA cable but hdmi output through my onkyo hometheater works with a cable for S3/Note2 from "Cable matters". I can't tell about mhl, i have not tried, but audio & video work well.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Same issue
I'm having the same issue with my ET-H10FAUWESTA cable. It worked for a while before this, but now it's displaying that error as well, even when it does display through the receiver. I don't understand why it would stop and then start again. Why would they support 7.1 surround sound and 3D if you can't even put it through a receiver? My TV doesn't have 7 speakers and a sub woofer.
Hey guys,
I received today my MHL adpater
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171436891054?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The signal to the TV is working fine.
My problem is when I'm connecting devices to the USB host port, there is a power over there but my phone not responding, while those devices are working with a simple OTG cable.
Some help over here?

I have been looking for the same thing, an MHL - OTG - charging dock/adapter/dongle, I have not found anything that people report as working reliably on the S5 (I am also looking for one to work with a Note 10.1 2014).
Have you tried to connect a power supply on the micrUSB port? I have a MHL adapter and it needs external power.

Yes, I did.
I even tried connecting a USB hub and I saw there is a power from the USB Host.

I was under the impression you can either use mhl or otg. Not both at the same time. You tried just using the thumb drive by itself without the hdmi plugged in?
anyone had luck finding an adapter allowing you to use hdmi alongside otg?
anyone found an adapter than can do hdmi and usb host at the same time??? there seem to have plenty for s4 but nothing for s5?? although s5 is using a newer and more capable mhl if i am not wrong

i meant the image quality,to just watch and control your device its ok,to watch a 720p movie its not ok,video will be blur sometimes and it will be a little delay at sound.
few days ago i used a friends standalone hdmi adapter was performing amazing even at 1080p.
it is very nice thank you very much

I got that hdmi connection kit and it works great with my S3 doing hdmi 1080p and otg simultaneous + charging. But with my S5 it will only do hdmi 720p or otg not both. Image quality is poor on the monitor but great on the HD TV.
Maybe "Display Link" is the way to go to get wired screen mirroring and otg at the same time on the S5?
I gather the Zenfone 2 has MHL capability - high definition video and audio (up to 7 channels) output to HDMI via a USB MHL cable/adapter. Has anyone tried connecting to a TV by this method?

GSMArena says that it did have MHL, but everyone who has tried had not gotten it to work, so I'd say it doesn't have it.

Good job I didn't buy an HML adapter I saw yesterday then
I tried to compile in Moorefield's HDMI into my kernel for fun the other day; not so great.
Phone booted up, but said that there was an hdmi connection ( without connecting anything ) and started overheating fast.
I'm guessing that there might be an hdmi connection on the board somewhere that connects to the microUSB bus, but it's soldered/jumpered over.

I think, it's full-featured HDMI connector reserved on SoC (in case if used in Android TV dongle), not MHL.
There is Intel WiDi wifi display service integrated in the Rom. How can we use that for wireless display to a pc or android/smart tv?
Mhl didn't work, tested and asked in zentalk, online chat support and in xda..
But i seen an apk with name hdmi don't know what it is for
