MHL/HMDI

Just received the IM750 MHL adapter yesterday. I ordered the Sony MHL adapter to avoid compatibility problems and expected it to work flawlessly with the Xperia Z.

When I use it to connect my Xperia Z phone to my Philips philips 37 pfl 5603d / 10 TV the screen is mirrored via the HMDI cable.

I however have the following issues: 

1. In most cases I get no sound via the HDMI cable.

    -However when I switch off the TV, then start playing music or video on the Xperia and then switch on the TV I get            sound and it keeps playing.

    -But when I switch to another application e.g. Walkman to Youtube or the video ends and I replay I do not get                   sound  again.

    To me this seems not a cabling issue, but an Xperia X software issue. 

    As a workaround I can use the headphone jacketbut this is not what I intended to get.

 

2. When I connect using MHL and play a movie the battery is drained instead of charged although the standard

     Xperia Z power adapter is connected. This limits the usefullness of MHL. Would using another USB adapter

    delivering more power (e.g. from iPad) solve this issue.

So far MHL experience is a disappointment.

Ordered same Sony MHL adapter to avoid compartibility issues with my Xperia Z, but it didn't work with my LG TV! The TV didn't even pick up any signal from the device!

Same problem here!
