How to enable HDMI out via MHL cable? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the note 4 and I'm using the micro USB to HDMI MHL cable. I have both of the items plugged in but I get nothing. I see no output on my TV. is there a setting I need to turn on for it to output to TV? Short if that I don't know what else is the problem

hi ,
firstly , i don't think a MHL cable will work with Note 4 ( not sure )
You need MHL3 or similar ?
i have a N910F and my setup is that i use a Samsung MHL3 adapter connected to HDMI cable.
this setup works 100% ,no issues I am quite impress, how it scales some video's to tv .
There is no settings " to turn on or off ".Its a matter to connect phone to MHL3 adapter , to HDMI cable, to tv HDMI
( Reminder............ you have to set tv to correct HDMI channel on tv ) and thats it ...!
You have option to either play your device with or with out connecting charger to MHL3,
but i have found that it drains battery power "reasonably" fast as it does not turn your device screen off
( you have to dim screen to save power ) I just also connect my charger to MHL3 adapter .
(The MHL3 adpter also works on my Note 3 and Note 8.0 tablet .)
According to me if you have Note 4 ,you need MHL3 or similar .?
i do not know of any other work around (.I am sure there might be ? )
(see photo in post )
good luck
post entry.
I know /read /followed a thread here discussing " simalar issue ...... about MHL working etc , on Note 4 " (,quite some time back ....few months maybe ) You might find some tips /answers that you find usefull/workaround , in this relevant thread ?
if you search Note 4 forum( Gener/Question section ,you might find it .I unfornately have not got link )

Pimping Out Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 - USB host & cam questions

Hello everyone.
I am currently modding Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 for car instalation and everything seems to be great except I have problems with two things:
1) As the tab will be also my main music player I would need an USB host from time to time (check: http://www.expansys.si/samsung-usb-adapter-for-galaxy-tab-series-no-30-pin-to-sd-slot-229630/ ). It would be hard to switch that adapter with power supply just for the time I need to stick USB in it so I am asking if anyone knows if it is possible to have both active at the same time: power supply and USB host? Or if anyone has some other interesting idea how to transfer data to tablet asap from time to time? Please note that it will be really hard to reach it when installed.
2) Since the tab has back camera (which is useless to me in cars interior) i was thinking if there is any possible way to get that camera out of the tab with some extender or something? I've been looking at the interior of a tablet and the camera doesnt look to be attach in any other way than just a flat cable. Any ideas?
Thank you guys for your help in advance!
Make love, not war <3

It sound like this will be a permanent installation.
Instead of €22 for an adapter, I'd rather use a breakout and hardwire:
http://www.kineteka.com/galaxy-tab-connector.aspx
This will also allow you to wire the earphone output also.
Yes, with many devices you can charge and do host mode at the same time.
It's mostly a question of convincing your device to play nicely with a non-standard operation.
You can just bring out the USB leads or hardwire in a hub for more options, like a keyboard.
I'd use a DC converter circuit board hardwired instead of a cigarette lighter adaptor.
Something like this, maybe: http://www.lightobject.com/LM2576-High-Input-7V40V-Switching-5V-Power-Module-Regulator-P549.aspx
I think somewhere in the Tab 10.1 forums, someone figured out the proper wiring for a powered USB host adapter. 90% certain that would also work on Tab 2 7.0

[Q] A few questions about connecting the Galaxy Note (Int ver) to HDTV/projector

Hi, I have a few questions in regard to connecting the Galaxy Note to the HDTV/projector.
Q1: Is it true that no matter which adapter I use, I need to supply power to the adapter? If so, could you please let me know the reason? I guess this can be done by connecting the stock AC adapter which came with the Note to the adapter via a usb cable.
Q2: In a retail store, I found the adapter in transparent plastic packaging. However, in other stores such as the Samsung store, I found one in white paper packaging (like the one shown in the attachment. I know the one being shown is for the S3). What is the difference? I asked Samsung but they only asked me to buy from their store which does not offer any discount.
Q3: What is the difference between a HML Adapter vs. a HDTV Adapter?
Q4: In some postings, some people mentioned that they could connect the Galaxy Note to a projector by serially connecting the two devices via the HDTV Adapter and a HDMI-VGA adapter. Others said that the Galaxy Note cannot output VGA signals. I am a bit confused. Is there an adapter that is capable of connecting the Note to the HDTV and a projector (of course not at the same time)? An adapter that can do so without external power is the most desirable.
Thanks.
1. Yes u need the power adapter, as phone doesnt hv enough power to output hdmi signal.
2. Mhl cable outputs digital hdmi out for an hdtv/ digital screen.
3. I would buy the one in plastic box for s2 n note. Other seems to be for s3- and i hear it has a different pin configuration. Tho im not 100% sure. I can confirm s2 adapter - in see thru plastic box works.
4. You need an hdmi to vga adapter for analog projectors, this converts digital to analog- once u have that u can project via that. I hv a projector wit dvi, if u hv a simillar projector u dont need such a converter but a cable.

[Q] i9505(int) hdmi through receiver

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.

switching to wireless hdmi is always a good idea.
If you're dead set on using cables though, I can't help you.

Make sure your dongle is plugged into the USB 3 port. I didn't have to do anything else and mine works fine.
