Default MHL/HDMI support?

I just got the rogers verson of the skyrocket yesterday and was thinking of going to buy a MHL adapter so i can use the HDMI.

is there any HDMI/MHL support in the stock rogers rom?

also is there away around the bluetooth stack problem so i can use sixaxis or wiimote to control emulators? if not it looks like i gotta buy that phonejoy game controller.

dont see where there wouldn't be support in the stock rom. The more difficult thing is to find the adapter in canada.

MHL adapter is working with my AT&T Skyrocket SGH-I727. Attached are a few pics and a link to a video I just made showing proof.
Should work with your Rogers version as well.

Hypathetically, if you want to watch a video or movie from the phone (lined to your tv monitor), will the screen on the phone turn off to conserve battery? Or is it possible to turn off the screen without stopping the video from playing on the monitor? Thanks.

Would the MHL adapter charge the phone when connected to the television?

On my Skyrocket and my International SGS2, the phones will not output video unless I have the microUSB cable plugged into the MHL adapter.

The MHL Adapter plugs into the microUSB port on bottom of phone. The MHL Adapter has an input for a microUSB to charge/power the phone and an input for the HDMI cable to TV.

Good question Mike,

I've only "tested" the connection from phone to TV, I haven't watched a full movie/video.

As for conserving phone battery power, my phone will not output video via MHL unless I have the microUSB cable plugged into the MHL adapter.

I doubt it but i do not have an hd tv anymore. So would there be a way to use an mhl adapter and somehow convert to rca. And if we have to use an mhl adapter for video out im guessing a micro usb to rca would output nothing or just sound? Anyone?





donations are never required. how ever I got laid off. and my car blew the engine. so anyone who does donate. I just want to say it is very much appreciated
