Default HTC MHL Adaptor

Just got my MHL adapter.

I noticed that while videos run perfect, the screen is laggy, and emulators run like crap.

Is this due to the hardware or Sense?

Also, when the MHL is connected, it automatically goes to landscape, and the kickstand is unusable because the display doesn't auto-rotate.

Is there a way to modify that?

I find emulators impossible to use. Input lag is ridiculousness

Yea I noticed that too haha.

I hope this is just because of Sense because I mainly got the adapter so I can play using the TV and a couple of controllers. D:

i used my GS2 (epic touch) with an MHL combo with n64oid and the performance was practically flawless. It might have been the smoothness of an exynos cpu but still it sucks to hear its not so on our next gen chipset

Got a PNY MHL adapter for $10 shipped no issues what so ever. I was really worried after all the feedback but like Mc Donalds says I'm lovin it!

Maybe it's the 720p phone display that's causing the slowdown

Can anybody with a GNex comment?

Let me clarify, it's not slow fps. It's input lag. I can't play games like metroid fusion because it's too slow to pick up when I am trying to input through the PS3 controller. The phone's screen is PERFECTLY playable. It's the HDTV mirror that isn't. So, input lag. Only on through HDMI
