I don't believe the HDMI specification allows for charging. However, if you get the correct MHL cable (what you're using to connect to the TV, it can include the ability to charge if you plug in a micro-USB charger to the appropriate location on the adapter.

Here's one example I found with a quick Google search: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU4887602

I have no experience with the linked device, just providing an example.
