hi all,

 

I got MHL(black) from samsung.com that also comes with 5-11 pin

However, when MHL is connected to Samsung S3 GPS signal got cut and data is impacted as well.

Take a look how GPS test is impacted when MHL is connected and disconnected video

 

I have X8500BHS and video via HDMI works, but without GPS it is useless.

I went through Sumsung support hell and were told that it's normal that GPS and data got cut as I don't need those to watch on TV anyway ... , while another tech said it isn't normal and GPS has to work regardless - not sure whom to believe

 

What MHL adapter do you use that doesn't cut GPS signal?

 

Thanks.
