Hi, We all know that Xperia SP has screen mirroring feature and we can connect using MHL. It works fine on SONY Bravia TVs. My home has a full HD ONIDA LCD TV. It has 2 HDMI ports. If I connect, my phone to this TV using MHL to HDMI adapter, can I see phone screen on the TV? Give some more points about screen mirroring and MHL features of SONY phones with TVs other than SONY.

I have used MHL "TV Out" with MHL to HDMI adapter with Sharp and Samsung TV.
MHL it's not Screen Mirroring. Its two others features. First use MHL Adapter to send signal to TV. Second one. Use NO CABLE (wifi?) connection to display screen on other SONY devices (which support it).
No progblem with MHL at all, but....
First - My MHL adapter needs a little more power than standard SPs charger. With standard charger from SP my phone disconnects sometimes. Recconections after about 10 sec. With another charger (1A/5,1V) works perfect. Airplane mode on and I can play GTA:SA for hours
Second - phone charge veeeeery slow when connected to TV. About 5%/h :S

Hi,
I just received an OEM Micro USB to HDMI adapter today.
I connected my Note to the adapter and then to the HDMI cable of my TV.
Unfortunately there is no HDMI signal on the TV side.
Now, I don't know howto activate TV output on the Note. I don't even know if that's possible.
Can anyone guide me on how to activate HDMI output on the Galaxy Note ?
Should I make any settings ?
Should I play a video ? (or would it give out video from HDMI even at home screen ?)
Should I power the phone and/or the HDMI adapter through USB ?
Thanks.

Connect HDMI cable to MHL adapter, and other end into TV. (duh...)
Plug your charger cable into the MHL adapter. (output won't work without this)
Plug your MHL adapter into Note. (no configuring required!)
Everything you do on your Note will be mirrored on your TV/Screen, at the Note's native 1280x800 resolution. Plain and simple!
Video's that are played via the MHL adapter will be played at their own native resolution, up to and including 1080p.
Enjoy!
thank you.
it doesn't work unfortunately.
maybe my adapter is not working but it passes power through USB.
how can I understand if it really doesn't pass HDMI ?

It's possible that you have a faulty adapter. It should just be plug and play, but you have to make sure that the adapter is receiving external USB power in order for it to work.
ok; it works now.
the micro USB connector was not fully connected...
thanks.
Similar issue
Hi, me to facing similar issue. The MHL adapter when connected does not show any notification on the screen. The only thing it does is charging the phone. Does it mean its a faulty adapter?
i hope i am answering my own question but still if there is anything which i may be missing here

and what rom and kernel are you on ?
I'm on stock running ICS and I get funky results, sometimes it works for a minute or two sometimes just a few seconds. The problem seems to be on the TV, a Sony Bravia, the HDMI setting has to be Wide for picture quality (it has zoom, smart zoom, wide, 16:9 and 4:3) but as soon as there is some glitch in receiving data from the phone the TV begins to scroll through those settings to regain a signal and I can't force a setting on wide for the HDMI connector, only for one of the SCART connectors.
The frustrating part is that it works flawlessly when I connect an Asus Transformer. Could it be the MHL's USB connector? If that is the case how can I check it?

Just in case anyone relooks this up.
Connect everything. Then REBOOT PHONE/NOTE. The TV will then detect it auto.
Hope this helps someone !!
It didnt help me... my sony bravia 32" tv just wont show the gnote's video. the same adapter works fine on my samsung 32" tv but not on the sony. I have even upgarded the sony tv's firmware too. tried changing to "Wide Zoom" settings and other things but still no video showing, although the tv does know there is something plugged in to HDMI port 1.
Anyone else got ideas?
Samsung doesn't like sony!

lol, just don't try that any sony device to work together with another samsung device, this is a general rule for electronic trademarks.
*Frankly my friend, I lost a complete day trying my sony ericcson bt handset to work with my note, no success at all, so, I just bought a samsung one and everything gone well.
that sux, bluetooth is a standard and im sure there are no variants... they are cheap, so i will buy another one from ebay and see if it is bcos of the adpater and not the TV.

This did help me using a Galaxy Note and a cheap no-name MHL adapter I bought of eBay. Had it connected to the HDMI input on my Dell WFP3008 monitor.

Hello,
I have found an MHL to HDMI adapter and I was able to connect the Xperia T to my TV (Strange enough my Bravia TV from 2009 does not support HDCP so I connected to an old LG with 720p - Why this connection needs HDCP? Only Sony knows). The issue that I have with this LG TV is that sound is still played by the phone speaker. Can I set the sound to go via HDMI in the TV?
Thanks,

Sound over HDMI works for me. I have the official Sony TV dock.

ok so on my last Sony phone it had a micro hdmi on the side for this
The bravia tv i have is a couple of years old and not one of the new ones with nfc on board, so far all ive been able to find on the net about connecting is to use nfc (only on the new bravias)
so any ideas?
Well if your TV has Wi-Fi then you can use the Screen Mirroring, which can be found under SETTINGS, XPERIA then Screen Mirroring. And if you don't have Wi-Fi enabled TV then you may need to buy a MHL adaptor to connect with a HDMI cable like you did with previous phones.

My bravia hx855 has Wi-Fi but mirroring AFAIK is supported only via miracast, without that you can only use "throw" function....

my bravia is a few years old and dose not have wifi allthough i think you can buy a dongle/adapter for it..would need to look into that, would prefer an option to be able to sit in the chair and send the content to the tv rather than using a cable.
What about wireless streamers like roku etc, anyway to use that?

I have a similar old TV, but it's connected to my PS3 - I throw to the PS3, it displays on the TV.
You can also use an MHL cable to HDMI wire.
greetings,
i did a lot of googling around, but only found more and more confusion. i understand that the xperia t has a microusb port that can be used for charging, connect usb devices with an otg cable (tested), and connect an external monitor/tv with an mhl adapter (haven't tested yet).
i've also come across a dock (sony calls it the 'tv dock') which is supposed to charge provide charging *and* allow a monitor to be connected - some say it has a usb port for connecting accessories, but according to the pictures and videos i've seen, it's clearly only meant for charging.
so.. since most people here are a lot more knowledgeable than me, my question is:
is there any accessory/cable/hack that allows me to connect an external monitor, a keyboard, *and* charge the phone at the same time?
thanks,
bamdad
p.s. this is my first post, so hi xda folks.. ^^
On Xperia Arc S, this is possible, because he have Hdmi port and micro USB port for charge.
Here in Xperia T, we have only one port, micro USB. I use mhl to Hdmi cable with USB cable to charge and make possible to see picture on TV for example, and I use Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad like mouse.
For me, this is all that I want, to make this feature to work.
Edit: Another possibility is to use screen mirroring function from phone with HDMI mirroring dongle to TV.

meh, too bad. i'm not really a fan of bt keyboards, because most of them run on batteries. i read somewhere that in *some* phones it's possible to get both usb and hdmi on the same connector (iirc it has something to do with it having more pins).
what do you mean by that 'mirroring function'?
Yes, the USB and Hdmi are posible on one cable. I have this one:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/281051732741
Edit: for mirroring like this for example :
HDMI CHROMECAST Dlna stream.
http://m.aliexpress.com/item/897156534.html?tracelog=storedetail2mobilesitedetail
This is for free micro USB on the phone to charge it and plug your keyboard and mouse, with USB-Otg cable to the phone with USB hub or dock Dk10 for examples.

1)Samsung has a dock station hdmi and usb to patch mice and keyboard for(ex. N7100).
2)Otherwise OTG cable adapter can fit micro usb to HDMI.

Miracast for example.
Hi I'm using chromecast 2 and using it to cast and mirror videos and stuff to my tv. The tv had only one hdmi out. So i purchased a belkin hdmi cable of two metres and an hdmi splitter online. Now i can switch between set top box and chromecast easily without having to switch the cables connecting to the hdmi port each time.
