Hi guys. Just wondering if when using an MHL adapter, the screen on the Note has to be on? I mean, if I want to play a game there's no need for the Note screen to be turned on if I am watching a 40"+ TV.
Thanks!

Hey,
I want to connect my XZ directly to my LG Full HD tv so I can watch my pictures, videos etc on it. I was thinking about buying HDMI a cable for this, since I don't have a Throw compatible tv, but I have 3 questions about this:
- Will this cable really work with it?
- Can I plug it directly into the charging port of my XZ, or do I need an additional adapter?
- Will this harm my phone? I think we've all noticed the XZ gets hot pretty quick, so I assume this will make it even worse.
Thanks for your help.

-No that cable won't work as Xperia z doesnt have a micro hdmi port.
You need to get a mhl cable.
-The mhl cable plugs into the charging port.
-No it will not harm your phone, all smartphones get hot these days

Also when buying an mhl/hdmi cable or adapter (for use with a hdmi cable) do check it is the 5 pin version. Often you won't find info on that on the product, in that case you should be fine if it's compatible with Galaxy S2

i think the MHL should work not the regular HDMI cable. make sure you plug in the power adapter to the cable, before you plug it in to your phone.
Has anybody tried the official Samsung MHL adapter with the Note 3 yet? I picked one up and it is laggy. The tv displays exactly what is on the phone but when hooked up to MHL the phone seems to lag. As in, if I look at the phone's screen it is lagging behind too. When I unplug the MHL cable, it stops lagging. Tried with some games and even the line that follows your fingers using swype lags. Anybody else try this and have this issue?
Note 3 has MHL?
I plugged it in with my MHL cable that came with my home theater receiver and nothing came up on screen.
On my Optimus G I just plug the cable in to the micro USB and bam it works.
Do we really need a special adapter?

If it is a normal MHL cable you need the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter Samsung sells. I think I may have figured out my issue. Looks like I purchased the universal MHL 1 adapter from Samsung. Last night I ordered the MHL 2.0 adapter which hopefully will work out better as I've seen videos of people playing games without lag.

How'd the new one work out? I am using a Chinese one I used with my gs3 and its perfect for videos but with games there is a fraction of a second lag that makes playing Mario impossible.
If better mhl cable fixed ur issue let us know thanks.

The newer MHL 2.0 adapter has a higher refresh rate so that should resolve your problem.
i paid $11 for the 3 plug red wired mhl 2.0 setup on ebay ... works like a charm.

I'm quite new to Wi-Di and Miracast. Can someone briefly explain how it works? I tried to do it on my friend's Samsung Smart TV since I think it would have miracast capability but it wouldn't work.
Also, I don't think my TV has Miracast function, would buying a dongle like this work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wireless-iP..._Internet_Media_Streamers&hash=item2ecd29d58f
Do I just plug that in one of the HDMI port?
Thanks in advance!
I guess not many people use Miracast? Maybe it's not very popular yet...
I have the netgear ptv3000 miracast device. Yes u just hook ur miracast device to ur TV HDMI port, and then instructions will appear on ur TV screen. U connect from ur tab wirelessly to the miracast device. Go to ur display settings in ur tab u should see miracsat under screen sharing tab. But to be honest miracsat doesn't feel as smooth sometimes very laggy. I would suggest buying a very long micro HDMI cable and directly connect tab to TV. That's what I do.

Okay thanks for the advice! Yeah I was wondering how well it performs, if it lags still then I'd probably stick with HDMI connection then. Does it support HD video playback?
Yes it supports 1080p playback, but like I said, it is very annoying and laggy. For me it would play for 30 sec then freeze and sound would go off sync. Its not worth it in my opinion.

Hello!
I just bought a MHL adapter for my Tab and it doesn't work. The adapter runs with no problems with the HTC ONE M8(just Plug&play) , but on my Tab S2 i get only a slow chargin message.
Is there something that I need to do in the settings menu in order to get the connection?

I had all kinds of trouble getting either my 710 or 810 to connect. If I fiddled with it enough, pluging/unplugging, turning the TV off/on while plugged in, switch apps etc. it would finally connect but the resolution was lousy. Broke down and bought a Chromecast dongle. Even with that, the Screen Mirror res was bad but apps with built in Chromecast connectivity like Netflix were OK.
Sorry for the bad news but Samsung really dropped the ball on this issue.
I have a cheapo mhl adapter for my tab S that works just fine. Resolution is fine too.

A cheap one,i don't know...it just says MHL Adapter on the damn thing.
And is a 5 pin model,i'm going to try one with 11 pins.
Yeah, I think you'll have better luck with an 11-pin adapter. I don't think a 5-pin one will work on the S6.

The best will be universal - 5 & 11 pins in one.

Define "fine". What resolution are you getting? 460P , 720p or 1080p? And what aspect ratio? IOW, does the picture fill the screen or do you have wide black bands or each side?
