Does the MHL adapter (micro usb to hdmi) work on the M8?

[Badelhas]

I've been unable to make it work.) the phone enters MHL mode but the TV (tried several different tvs and protectors) doesn't show any image.
I'm I the only one?

Cheers

Worked for me with a HP MHL Enabled monitor. Just be sure the input is marked MHL ready. Not all HDMIs on a device are MHL Enabled. THere was some scanning, manual for my monitor as i kept the connection to the workstation alive while connecting another device (the phone). You can try a different ROM from XDA. I see it mostly as a software issue. The phone needs to start some services when connecting.

Thanks for your answer.
My old galaxy S4 and S3 worked flawlessly. With the M8 I've tried 3 different adapters on 2 tvs and one projector and it just doesn't work. I didn't know that the TV had to be MHL compatible, never heard about that before, are you absolutely sure? Isn't hdmi a universal thing? I've tried custom ROMs, same thing. I don't get it.

I think the adapters for Samsung and HTC are different. There are 5-pin adapters for the HTC and 11-pin for the Samsung and there isn't backward compatibility I think. You should check this first.

Thanks. I know. I tried 3 non Samsung (5pin) adapters.
