S3 mhl hdmi adapter

---

Just received the one for the S3 today. hooked it up, got good video and sound from my Sony Bravia TV. One problem, the video refreshes or goes blank every few seconds on the TV. What can be causing this (Bluetooth on ?). I searched the forums with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

I use my MHL adaptor every day and don't have that problem, are you using the official samsung adaptor??

I know when i tried my friends MHL with an adapter for the 11 to 5pin configuration it was constantly refreshing when switching screens or orientation. I wonder if some of these S3's have issues and we dont find out unless we try out the MHL.

I had the same problem, I had the official Galaxy S2 MHL adapter with the 5 > 11pin adapter that was released by Samsung.

Same thing, the screen would go black every few seconds and I would lose sound. I contacted the seller of the mhl adapter and he send a new one but I still had the same problem, so I ended up returning both adapters until I can get a stable adapter =\ I don't know why but i would love to know as well why this is happening. I also have a sony tv.

This is the adaptor I am using:

I play Blue-Ray rips that are ripped at super high quality from my phone with no problems whatever.

But is that only once you have it running you dont touch the phone again? When i was using the MHL adapter it was to play a game and every time the screen changed, ie.. from menu to gameplay, it would flash and lose sound as the above poster said. May be an issue with the 11>5 pin adapter not sure.

Well, I have never played a game thru HDMI but I do get calls/texts etc which interrupt the movie and it always starts right up again with no problem. It also works perfectly to play MP3's & video thru my killer car stereo/video system that is hooked up thru an HDMI scaler.

I will try a game later when I get out of work & see how that works.
