Working MHL Adapter

I've tried 2 from Monoprice and one from Best Buy and none of the MHL Adapters have worked at all with the Nexus.

Can anyone recommend a working one ?
 
I was going to order one from monoprice myself. I guess I'll have to stick around and see what other options people chime in with.
 
This is puzzling, as it *should* work - do you have power plugged into the MHL adapter via the micro USB port on the side? Apparently, these adapters will not work without power, and some indicate that the battery charge needs to be fairly high for it to work, even if it is connected to the power adapter.
 
are you using the power cord that came with the phone. I ordered the $7 MHL from overstock when they were a great deal.

Had it plugged up with a blackberry charger and it would NOT work. Used the supplied power cord and it works like a champ.
 
Its all about power. If you plug in the power charger and you syill dont get singal just restart phone and you should be fine
 
Alright. So using the Verizon charger was the trick. Can anyone explain the different in amps or whatever with that charger ?

To me it's not practical to use. You have to have power, a large HDMI cable (and it has to be long enough to be far enough from the TV). Fun but I can't think of a real use for it.
