Hey guys! I got my Note a few days ago from handtec, along with the MHL adapter. Should I be able to just plug it in and have the display mirrored onto my Monitor, or do I have to do something inside the settings that I'm missing to activate it?
Plug it in.
That's all there is to it.
Do make sure of course that you have a power cable plugged into the adapter itself or it wont work.
Plug it in then restart shouod work after

I did not have the power cable connected. Sucks that you have to have it connected, but oh well! I got it working! I'm actually using a HDMI to DVI cable. I don't have a HDMI cable, but I had that from a older TV, so hey, why not!

You shouldn't have to. I've always just plugged it in and it works.
As stated before, you have to have the power cable plugged into the adapter. Have you done that or are you just connecting the HDMI cable and the phone?

I've done the whole nine yards.
Mine just don't work.
I ordered a Samsung one today.
The monoprice one does not fit right.

Lame.
Well here's hoping you get it all sorted out mate! It's a greatly underused feature of such a powerful phone lineup
hi guys,
sorry to bump this.
i got one of these adapters with the phone, but mine doesnt work.
is it because im running a Stunner ROM?
My dock has been charging my phone perfectly for weeks, the other day I came in and plopped the phone on the dock and nothing.
I checked the pogo pins (of the dock) with a multimeter, they are working. I've tried different power sources for the dock as well (wall adapter, pc, other cables).
I've checked to make sure the pins are making contact with the phone, good solid contact.
I haven't changed anything on the phone recently, any suggestions?
The phone charges fine through USB.
[ANSWERED]
since i apparently posted this on the apple forums instead of xda, all the replies were "shoulda bought apple products"
so anyone having this problem, i solved it by reinstalling a nand backup. apparently it was a software issue. hopefully this saves you from the apple fanboys.
do you have original sony cradle? i had chinese replica and it did not work all times.

No, I was too impatient for it and got the goosewhite dock, besides I like the looks of it better tbh. The dock is putting out power, I don't get why it's not charging. its not a complex system at all.
Get the Sony one if you don't want the same issue occurring.

why would changing the dock have anything to do with the problem? when voltage is applied to the pogo pins, the phone does not charge. how would changing the dock i use make a difference in that at all?
i would understand if the pogo pins were putting out less power or no power, but they put in exactly the amount of power going into the dock, they make good solid contact, i've check continuity and its making a solid connection...
Then take the dock apart and see if anything got loose

Because the one you've bought is rubbish!
I brought this as an alternative to the Sony DK26 because I was sick of opening the flap everytime I wanted to charge my phone. It does fit the Xperia Z and looks nice enough. It also activates the dock mode and the Xperia's smart connect function. This is why I gave it 1 star. HOWEVER, it outputs at 500mA as opposed to the 1800mA delivered by the Sony dock. This means it charges your phone incredibly slowly. I had my phone on the dock charging for 11 Hours and it managed to deliver a battery charge of just 51% which is ridiculous compared to the Sony charger which delivers a 100% charge in 2 hours.

I do not get why would anyone go for something cheaper and unreliable. Its like those iPhone users buying cheap non original cables to charge their iPhones, ended up causing the phone to blow up or messed up and blames it on Apple.
and yes you are the owner of the phone and you have the right to buy whatever 3rd party equipment for your phone, but dont expect it to work 100%.
Doesnt make sense if you ask me sir.
It is really hard to determine the main cause of this matter. It could be your phone: hardware or software (i doubt it is this one), or the 3rd party dock.
You tell me which one to throw and buy a new one.
Already told you why I bought it. There's nothing but stupidity in that review as docks do not put out power, they transfer it, the power supply puts out power. As for the amperage, it puts out what you put in. it will do [email protected] if you are stupid enough to put that through it... Assuming the wires don't burn. if you are going to base your assumptions on a review, at least choose one from someone knowledgeable. also, my dock never took 11 hours to charge, not that i ever bothered timing it but it sure as hell wasnt more than 4 hours (and thats giving an a good bit of a safety margin), i'd guess 2 hours 0-100 if i had to.
What I'm telling you is that the phone is not accepting the charge, not that the dock is messed up but the phone. And I wanted to know if anyone had similar issues or suggestions.
I'm glad you have insight on the matter and an opinion, however you are not trying to answer the question. I've already informed you the dock is intact and making a connection. I've checked the voltage of the xperia official charger at the cable at its end: 4v dc, the dock when hooked to that charger is 4v dc tested at the pins. I can put a larger amount through it, and any number of amps. A pogo dock is a very simple device, official or otherwise, the difference is mainly in price and design. The diy thread is a perfect example of that.
@LitoNi
I took it apart, nothing is loose. thanks

It's been answered, you've not bought an official product, that's the problem! Buy cheap unofficial batteries, expect issues, buy cheap replica SD Cards, expect issues, buy cheap unofficial chargers, expect issues, and looks like you can cheap docs to that list too.
XperienceD, please continue answering me with your infinite wisdom you learned from the internet. obviously you know everything about electronics.

From me to you.
Hi last night I went to plug in my bionic to same plug as always; same cable that came with the phone; and it sparked, burnt my hand, and smoke was coming from phone. Smelt the smell of burnt electronics. It turned on this morning though should i get it replaced? or what should i do? Thanks in advance.

Cant get data to engage at all and hardly any cell signal. It powers on and can use apps they connect to internet like Pandora but cant search Google or receive Google voice calls/text some times make out bound calls cant receive any incoming.
At first they went going to help me out at Verizon. Then i got on with the district manager and they are giving me a note 3 and a nexus 7 both with otter box cases, for note 3 also car dock and extended battery. :victory:
Also here is a image of my burnt fingers from this ordeal.

I was also but part of it was my hand getting stuck holding it due to prior nerve damage in my hand. I was using a 2.1 amp charger that came with phone.
Something that has been bugging me since I got this phone, is that neither the charger that came with it, nor the Verizon car charger they sold me, plug fully into the device.
Is anyone else's like this? Or did I get a factory defect?

Might need to see photos to understand what you're talking about, but I've never seen a Micro USB (Or Mini USB for that matter) Plug fully into anything.
This is fully inserted:
For a comparison, here is the same charger plugged into my old S4:
lol.. seriously? does it charge? if yes, does it really matter to you how much it goes in? why? just so you know, its about the same on my n6. maybe mine goes in a tiny bit more..

Yes, seriously.
Once I plug it in, I cannot touch or move the phone. If I do, the charger pops out. In the car, any bump/pothole/hard turn/whatever, will cause the charger to pop out. And it is extremely annoying.

same with mine. when a chord is brand new, itll hold for two weeks or so, but eventually it starts popping out. i do have chords that hold better than others, but itll still happen. it used to bug me, but doesnt anymore, at all. it just seems as something wears down with time. but, it never did go into the phone all the way, but used to hold well regardless. honestly, i don't think that those two affects are related.
Oh well, guess I just have to deal with it.
Mine goes in to the same level, but is fairly secure unless I'm using a questionable USB cable.
Sent from my Nexus 6
Yeah, see mine are not secure at all. Even when they were new, they would pop out very easily. And they are both good quality chargers, so I don't know what the problem is
So I was using my phone and was running low on battery power. My ended up dying at like 5% as usual with my droid turbo. I was with my friend in his girlfriends car and plugged it into her cheap charger she picked up at a gas station or something. My phone registered the charger and then began the battery symbol like usual although it never got to the battery percentage, it just stayed as a gray battery symbol with the lightning bolt. After a while the phone screen went black and wouldn't respond to anything and figured that the charger just made the phone go dead and that I could plug it into a Verizon charger to make it work again. When I got home I plugged it in and nothing, no response at all not even the green light at the top of the phone. I plugged it into my computer and it shows up on device manager as QHSUSB_BULK. Now to be clear my phone was never rooted or had anything done to it. The phone was completely stock. I need help frantically because I need to get some media off of the phone if at all possible, whatever the cost. Not sure if just letting it charge for a while will help or not. Thanks for the help in advance.
If you plug it into your home charger it should turn on at least and show the battery symbol when charging and it should go up if you haven't tried it already. If it doesn't, sounds like some kind of charging issue.

The phone doesnt respond at all to any commands. The green light doesn't even pop up as if thebphone was clear dead. Took it to Verizon they thought the battery might be fried which I guess would keep the phone from turning on.
That is entirely possible. When I buy after market chargers, I generally only buy anker stuff. I've never had a problem with their stuff. Get what you pay for. Not that you bought that but yeah.

Yeah I definitely learned a lesson. Is there any way I can get the data off of it though? Would Motorola recover the data for me or is there some way? The data should all still be there considering there were no deletion processes. Of course maybe im wrong but I just hope I can get everything recovered.
It's possible if it will connect to your computer and you can read it but otherwise I'm not sure
Assuming the charging port is damaged you could try a wireless charger.

Well like I said the computer can read it, but thats all it can do. It recognizes it as being plugged in but cant do anything else.

If you try a Qi wireless charger, that would give it the chance to actually charge. Maybe some circuitry in the USB port is damaged and it's not receiving a charge. You actually have the phone, so you know better. But wouldn't hurt to go to a store and try putting it on a Qi charger for a few minutes as a test. When my phone is OFF and I put it on a Qi charger, it actually turns it on, boots the phone.
That is definitely a thing to try. If your computer can read it then you can easily save the files off the phone.
I'll have to give that QI a try. People st Verizon probably didn't even think of that.
How would I go about getting the data off of it though? The phone doesnt show up on computer just shows up in device manager under the code I wrote in the first post.

One step at a time. If it will charge normally with Qi and boot, then it once booted it might show up as device on PC.

I tried the QI charger and it did not work. Thr light on the Verizon pad flashed red. Thr battery has got to be fried. So im not exactly sure what to do next.
Well, you can always get a new one through insurance or through swappa. I get that it's the stuff you want to save though. Might not be able to if your computer can't see it as a SD card unfortunately.

Well the way I look at it there's always other phones but not memories. So if worse comes to worse I'll just tear the phone apart and find the internal storage.

So there's no way you guys can think of to get this data off? I could use all the help I can get
Even if you tore yours apart and found the memory chip, it's soldered onto the board. I know because I've opened my turbo to do repairs and it's not hard but not easy. Maybe, just maybe, if you had the sophisticated equipment you could apply the proper voltage to be able to read the card, assuming you could find the + and - pins on it and then also the transmit pins on it and solder yourself a usb cable to direct connect to it to the computer, that might work but would be extremely complicated. I'm a professional electronics technician and I test, build, and repair boards but not phones. I do surface mount work though. Anyways, got off topic. So unless you got that going for you, I don't see it happening.
One last thought, do you have Motorola drivers installed on your PC? Could help. Don't know.

There are youtube guides out there on how to replace the battery in this phone. It's not easy, but it's probably easier than finding the storage chip and figuring out a way to build a new physical interface to access it. New battery = resurrected phone = get your data back. Maybe.
https://youtu.be/VHFkTgjWzOo
Yeah that's also probably a lot easier than all that. The battery isn't too hard to replace. I totally over thought that.
