That sounds like its 500mA from the HDTV itself I.e. from the device on the other end of the HDMI cable. However, what if your HDMI cable has a separate micro USB input for power, will it not receive the power from the output source?

I have just received a PortaPower battery pack that outputs 2.1mA so I'll use my mhl cable with this connected, watch an HD movie, and see if the power still drains or if it actually goes up. Probably wont be able to check till tomorrow evening though.

UPDATE Sorry, just read the above posts and seen someone has already tried this and verified it does charge the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
Where can I go in the phone to find out? I thought I'd seen it before but can't find it now.

UPDATE: just tested my portapow battery and its faulty so cant report back for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
While the device is plugged in select settings (from the pulldown notifications bar), Battery.

At the top it will say charging and right next will say USB or AC.

---------- Post added at 06:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 AM ----------

I think it's defined in the MHL spec on both ends to be honest. I think since there is a USB switch inside the phone which turns off the USB port (to avoid damage), the silicon image chip takes over. On their website they too state 500ma.

So it might be a limitation in the phone hardware too. If it's not a limitation of the silicon image chip, then someone just needs to make an MHL adapter that allows and reports NOT being a USB port. Similar to how the data pisn get crossed but tells the charger to draw greater than 500ma (not a USB port - go for broke).

I don't know how you would cross these pins since those pins are used for HDMI transmission. Maybe the official Samsung portrait MHL dock (the super expensive $60 dock) does some sort of trickery here and gets the full 1000ma rate. It's not out yet.

I still think the Pogo pins might work best so long as the phone can charge from both ports at once. If not, then my second guess would be that we would have to alter our MHL adapters to remove the output charging pins or wires so that the phone would have to use the pogo pins, but still supply power to the MHL adapter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
OK 'fixed' the 'fault' with my portapower pack (note to self: RTFM).

It says 90% - Charging (USB) when plugged in. I didn't see it before cos it said 99% - Full so it wasn't charging even though it wasn't at 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Looks like someone is trying to mod in USB fast charge mode:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487676

Would be great if we could break the 500ma limit.

Also someone made a full screen mod so that you can remove the annoying Navigation buttons when using MHL/HMDI out. Going to test this now:

Update: tried it with MHL, works great full screen!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnutz:
I think the issue with the MHL is the screen staying on and if the screen would turn off USB mode would probably be enough. Sorry if this is off topic but rather than a charge mod for the MHL I just want the option to turn the screen on the phone off and still have the video output via MHL. I have been researching it but haven't had any luck finding a solution for this yet. It seems silly that the screen on the phone needs to be on while using MHL and IMO is just asking for it to have a shorter life when it is constantly on for hours at a time while using the MHL. I know this thread is all about faster charging but in the case of the MHL it is the screen staying on that is killing it for me. Otherwise the MHL works fantastic and if you haven't tried it yet I recommend you do!

I was impatient about waiting for the cable to come in the mail so i headed to radio shack bought only mhl they had it being for htc... Both HDMI and micro usb are on the bottom so wasn't awkward t like I've seen .....worked great on 46 led picture was outstanding temperature was no more then a normal charging and I actually gained 2% on battery

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ReverendSin:
I recently acquired a Samsung MHL cable/adapter/dongle/whatever from Cellular Factory on Amazon, everything seems to work great, I expected the battery drain, but what I didn't expect was the signal loss while using it or the intermittent connection loss. I don't know how or why it would interfere with the radios but as soon as the HDMI is plugged in my connection drops and I have to use WiFi. Which is fine as 4g is terrible where I am anyway.

The other issue is that at seemingly random intervals the MHL connection is cut and I lose the picture on my TV (Panasonic Viera 58THX-PZ800U, 58" Plasma). I've got two of the same TV and have tried it on both and get the same reaction with three different HDMI cables. I have seen very few posts with similar issues spread out around the web but nobody openly discussing them so it would seem that occurrences of this nature are few and far between. I don't know if it's a faulty power connection or the drain on my battery being too overwhelming for the phone but I doubt that as a lot of people are reporting great success with the MHL cable. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hjuo:
Disable data connection, it works for me, I have a SGSII but it's probably the same. Also when I connect usb to pc I have problems if the connection is enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quick_:
I have the same issue with the Samsung MHL adapter, cuts out and I hear "microwave" buzzing on my speakers during the times its cutting out.

Good idea, can you still leave wifi on and not experience the "cutting out" issue?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
This sounds like an EM interference issue. Try using an HDMI cable with a ferrite core (or two) on it. An HDMI cable, like any long wire, can become an unintentional antenna.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ReverendSin:
I don't have an issue with WiFi atm, but I haven't been able to fix the video cutting out intermittently. CellularFactory has offered to let me return the cable for a refund which I will probably do and then buy another one. It's entirely possible I just got a faulty MHL cable. If that doesn't work I'll try the type of HDMI cable ATnTDude recommended.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragonsla:
I don't think you got a faulty cable. I got the monoprice one and then the Samsung and they BOTH cut out even with data off (But MUCH more with data on ;]) depends on what your doing, ie. movies on airplane mode will be fine. (all just IMO)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhonmont:
So i got today a MHL adapter from ebay for $8.6, its a non brand/Chinese made.

The thing is once i connect it, i get great mirroring to my HD TV, but WIFI just fails, if connected it does not have internet access, no networking, also if not connected to wifi it does simple dont connect. 3G/2G works good but not WIFI while i have this MHL adapter connected. once i disconnect it wifi works great.

i have the GSM Unlocked i9250 GNexus. and Originial 4.0.4 with root.

Any thoughts? anyone have seen this before? any fixes?

Thanks guys

EDIT: solved.

I went ahead and search outside Galaxy nexus xda forums, and found that the guys with the S II had this issue too, seems the MHL/HDMI Cable have some issues with WIFI channels. so i changed my wifi to the channel 4. and its fixed now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spytfyre:
I've got a Panasonic viera TCL32E30B

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and just took delivery of an MHL adaptor to connect it via HDMI

I can't seem to get any picture and have checked the settings for the viera connect set to auto detect

Any tips or an I faced with getting a Samsung telly and will this work with a Samsung pc monitor

I've already tried it with an HDMI-DVI cable in two monitors too no avail

The idea behind this is I can use my Android Citrix receiver on any tv/monitor to connect to a vdi instead of using a pc. So far no luck though and this solution would need to be simple for users to follow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phxtravis:
Possibly the MHL adapter, I used to have issues with a "cheap" one I got from Amazon, then I got monoprices "premium" model and it works perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dzl:
make sure you plug the hdmi into the mhl adapter, the power into the mhl adapter (making sure its plugged into its power source), then plug the mhl adapter into the phone. this method always works for me, but I have not tried it with straight dvi yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sparkdroid:
Try the app "Screen Standby" from the app store. It lets you force the screen off but not put the phone to sleep. I can even be set to automatically perform this function when it detects an MHL cable is plugged in. It also can leave the touchscreen active for navigating using the external display.

So I was able to successfully overclock my phone last night.

Today, after several black screen of deaths, it's no longer OC'd. Not sure if it's the black screens.

I flashed faux's DS kernel .044 on CM7 nightly 174
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
If you have setcpu make sure you check "set on boot"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
It'd be best if the OP waits til they find a setcpu configuration that doesn't cause issues before they set it to set on boot. Until then I'd just start setcpu manually with each reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EggRoll53:
Oops I forgot to include, I set it to 1.55ghz found stability issues with that, then set it to 1.4ghz. Checked it to "set on boot"

Now it's back to normal and it says the max is 1ghz.

So I can "no longer" overclock. Wow I can't believe I left that out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Waldano:
Seems like u flashed a new kernel and setcpu doesnt read it. Go to device selection in setcpu choose auto detect and should be fine, I hope
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EggRoll53:
I actually didn't flash a new kernel. I didn't flash anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Waldano:
Have u tried device selection anyway?

Thanks waldano. I restored a backup which changed it from auto detect to tegra. Now I set it back.

[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
To be honest, I haven't run across a single bug either. The phone never force closed, the camera works fine, wifi is good, and the UI is clean and smooth. This may be due to the fact that extra features haven't been added yet, but if this is a sign of things to come, then I'm 100% satisfied!

The only issue I have with the ROM is the battery drain… the firmware itself is fine, but it sucks the soul out of my battery! I went from a full charge to 56% in an hour and 40 minutes. Granted I'm a big of a heavy user, but that kind of drain is insane… I trust some battery optomization will come in RC2, so I'm not too worried. :)

So can anyone get into contact with the dev and ask him to make a legit thread here on xda?? I kind of don't wanna make a new account at another furom that I'm not gunna use just to ask him to make a thread over here lol
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
I'll ask, but I seriously doubt Kejar's going to do it. Dev abandonment is an unfortunate part of being part of the XDA community… many devs simply don't want to deal with the trolling and headaches around here. The thread has been up on Rootzwiki for 4 days, and there's only like 11 posts…if that thread were here, we'd be 30 pages deep (mostly in garbage) by now. Like I said, I'll submit a request to Kejar, but don't be surprised if I get a negative response… :-\

[Motorola Droid 3] smoshism:
I agree about the battery drain. Granted mine isn't quite as bad as yours, I'm still definitely looking forward to future releases.
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
The battery has actually gotten much better as the ROM "settles in". I've had the phone off the charger for about 5 hours (medium to heavy use) and I'm down to 36%, so I'm deffinately seeing an improvement! :)

At this moment the app is requesting com.motorola.service.vz.entitlement and force closes when it doesn't find it. My guess is that if someone has one lying around they can upload it for you and you can put it in your root/system/app.

Hi all,

I haven't posted much on here. I have done a lot of reading. I've tried MANY different roms from my Tilt running 6.1.

I am not using my Tilt as a phone much these days. It used to work pretty well as a GPS.

Is there a rom out there with just the bare necessities? I was looking for Alex's UltraClean, but can't find the version for the Tilt/Kaiser.

I don't need browser or any other programs. The camera app can stay and of course, whatever is necessary for the GPS to work.

I don't want/need anything else.

Is there anything like that around? Is UltraClean my best bet? If so, where can I find the version for the Kaiser/Tilt?

You should always turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when not connected to something. WiFi has been a thorn in my side too. I don't use it very often, and sometimes when I use it at home I forget to turn it off.

One of the things I miss most from my WinMo phone was the constant LED and notification indication WiFi is on. With Android and iOS if you are not connected you don't have any icon showing its on. There should be a WiFi with an X, like when you have no signal, to indicate: Hey you! Yeah, you ... you left WiFi on, you dope! Or, an option built into the OS that will let you turn it off automatically when disconnected for so long. I know there are apps to do this (juice defender is a popular one), but this such a core common sense thing that should be built in. At least with Bluetooth you see the logo staring at you when you leave it on.

Sorry to rant, that's been bugging me for 3 years.

GPS on the other hand only activates and uses battery when needed. However all sort of apps can call the need. Again, this warns you when its in use, so its not a surprise later.

I get much batter battery life than with my captivate, but I keep on top of WiFi and BT when not using them.
