HDMI mirroring

[jdbower]

I've got this one:
Amazon.com: Menotek Micro USB to HDMI MHL Adapter IMPROVED WITH RCP (Remote Control Protocol) for Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Evo 4G Tablet, HTC Sensation 4G, Sprint Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy Nexus: Electronics

However I think this has been updated as well with RCP (I find that pretty exciting, I'd love a touchscreen mounted in my car that I could use to control my phone). I purchased it just before Christmas.

Thanks for the reminder about the XDA thread, I meant to subscribe to it when it popped up and then kept forgetting. I'll try to sneak in a request to have this mod implemented as a "Charge Only" mode - I find PTP/MTP useless since I transfer everything over WiFi and it's a horrible security risk when using public USB charge stations like at airports (you're letting whatever is on the other end have access to your files).

If you have a password on your phone, the screen is locked, and you plug in a insecure USB data port, the files will not be shown. You should also have USB debug off to be safe. As soon as you unlock your phone and enter the password the files will be shown on MTP.

Yes, but then I can't use my phone while I'm charging it Seems like it's a side effect of this mod anyway so I'm happy.

Uhhh..... Maybe I'm having issues, but I got that MHL from Amazon and nothing happens. Do I have to enable something? I plugged charger into adapter, adapter into phone, and hdmi into TV. Just noob error, or do I have to tweak something?

There should be nothing else you need to do, the screen switches to landscape mode after a few seconds and your TV should display what's on your phone. Check the connections, if possible swap any cables you can, and probably try another TV. The TV will need to support 720P and you need to make sure you're on the right input.
