I have this Note 3 which has a busted screen (touch seems to react, LCD black). So I got a smart dock for it so I could use it with my tv as a "desktop computer". But when I plug it in the dock the phone starts charging and the docks OTG light comes on, but the TV still doesn`t show anything.
Do you guys know any possible fixes?
I also tried mirroring with a pc, but as USB debugging is off I can't do that either, any ideas on how to turn it on with a busted screen?
did you connect the MHL adapter to a power source?

Yes, I tried it out with a S3 and it worked perfectly. The only thing I can think of is that there are some mirroring settings that are not toggled.

was just wondering if worked on Computer screen
These phones apparently support MHL, but I can't get it to work. I've got a mini USB to HDMI lead, but don't get any output at all. How do I make it work, is it supposed to just show my screen as soon as I plug it in, or do I have to use an app? Does it have to be powered or something?

What kind of MHL cable is it? It needs to be an 11-pin one (made for S3/Note 2/S4).

What device are you trying to use it with? Does it itself support MHL?
I just thought any tv would display it through HDMI as an input, didn't realise the device I connected my phone to mattered. Coincidentally though it is a Samsung. And aren't mhl cables all the same then? Samsung made their own to be arkward?
Think you need mhl 2 for the s4 and for it to display 60hz
Hi Guys,
I have an Imito MX2 and have been trying to hook it up to my monitor that has an HDMI input, but it doesn't "boot" up (Screen doesn't display anything). I have played with the monitor settings and still nothing. Can anyone help me with this? I know people have said they were able to hook it to a monitor but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance!

your tv has probably multiple hdmi ports, you need to have a close look at your remote control for a button that switches between all ports (like hdmi1, hdmi2, vga,....)
try all hdmi ports
if this doesn't work, make sure your stick is well connected to the hdmi port, if yes, make sure also that the power usb cable is connected
when the stick is on, you'd normally see a led light on it
if still not working, contact the person/website you got this stick from.
good luck

Thanks For your Help, but I forgot to clarify a problem. The monitor I'm using isn't a TV (It's a computer monitor). Before I purchased the Imito, I've read that people were able to get it displaying on their monitor. The second thing is, the monitor doesn't have an HDMI in Port, instead it has a Display port. I am using a Female HDMI to Male Display Port and that doesn't seem to work. Maybe I'm stupid, but, shouldn't that work? Thanks in advance again!
I'm on 4.4.2 stock rooted, and using a MHL/HDMI cable I bought from eBay (http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/271413587689).
When I plug it in (including the charging USB cable), my Note 3 detects that a HDMI cable has been connected. However, nothing appears on the TV (I tried different HDMI ports). I have also tried restarting my phone as per the instructions on the eBay page.
What does happen is that the display on my Note 3 lags and stutters when the cable is connected. But no matter what I do, I can't get the screen to be mirrored on my TV.

No. o.o
BTW, I disabled some services. Are any of them required for HDMI output?
Bump. Please help, thanks.
There are two ways to do it with Samsung Galaxy S4/S5, which are the Wired method and the Wireless Method.
First, Wired Method. For this you will need to get a Samsung MHL to HDMI Adapter.
•Before plugging in any cables you need to adjust some Settings.
•Settings > My Device Tab > Accessory > Audio Output > Put a check mark next to Surround
•Connect one end of your HDMI cable to the tv and the other end of the cable goes into the mhl adapter. The MHL adapter has a female HDMI recepticle in one end of it.
•Connect the power cable (for the MHL adapter) into the wall and then put the other end of the power cable into the MHL adapter. The MHL adapter itself needs to be powered in order to work.
•Set the TV to the proper Input and you will now see what is displayed on the phone on the TV.
Second, Wireless Method. For this you will need to get a Samsung Allshare Cast Dongle.
•Connect the Dongle to the TV and select that Input.
•When the light on the Dongle blinks Red press the Reset button until it turns Blue.
•On the Phone go to Settings > Connections Tab > Screen Mirroring and turn that on.
•After a few moments the Dongle will appear on the list of devices.
•Tap the device on the list and it will start mirroring the phone on the TV.
Nice little guide. instead of an allshare cast dongle you can also use a chromecast to mirror your screen, i believe they are a lot cheaper, and allso usefull with non samsung devices.

It works somehow with my philips tv. There is 1-2s lag and I need to reboot my phone before connecting. And it will still fail to connect sometimes.
My s4 screen working works perfect with my SONY BRAVIA.
But it gets disconnected frequently, once in every 1-2 hours. Any solutions?
There's another way now, for a list of phones. See https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6059461?hl=en If your phone is on that list (click or press "Supported devices"), you can 'cast your phone to any TV with an HDMI jack with Chromecast. Just install the Chromecast app.
ezcast dongle is the best
nice, thank you for sharing.
gotta try this out, thanks!
