Has anyone found a compatible mhl cable to order?
Sent from my LG-P880

Search on google for: 3m 10 Ft MHL Micro USB HDMI 1080P 3D Cable fr Samsung Galaxy i9100 HTC Sensation
This one works over here.

I tryed my old MHL cable adaptor (bought some months ago for my old SGS2) and the video quality it's great but no digital audio from device. :'(
Some other people tryed other adaptor?

Samsung works great
I bought the one from Samsung original, amazing 1080p quality, best I ever saw on my 40 inch television.
It's the one that samsung offers for S2 and S3 and it works really perfect, no lag, no glitches and it gives amazing high quality.

But Samsung has different cables for S2 and S3... I have MHL adaptor for S2 and it works perfectly with P880. With sound of course...

Is there a way to wirelessly mirror content? I think the SGS3 can do this with a special apparatus or something.

I retried it and great video and audio. Sorry. But only in 720P. My TV it's HD-Ready and not FULL-HD.
My MHL adapter it's a simple model compatible with GS2 and I bought on eBay one year ago. I payed it only 10 euros.

I can see some of you having success in display it on the TV
but I have try two different MHL adapter (I dont know if it is for S2 or S3 but I can;t seem to get it work on a computer monitor with HDMI
are there any sitting I need to change or apps that I need to install???

Maybe some settings in the hidden menu will do the trick for those where it doesn't work (not tested, since I don't own a MHL-Adapter)
Type: 3845#*880# in the phone app and the hidden menu will open. Scroll to the end and choose "HDMI Resolution Test"
There are some Settings, maybe something will make the Adapter work

will try

Hey,
I am occurring the same problem, and its annoying, but credit to Hidden92 in the "resolution" menu under "HDMI Resolution Test" , i have changed resolution to any of them and only once the email on my Samsung TV appeared.
Also i have noticed that the settings that i am selecting doesnt saved and each time i am getting into "HDMI Resolution Test" menu , the settings rolled back to default.
Well...
Anyway , you should try to do this , the less it will work for you
=====EDIT======
I have managed to Play movies using MHL cable.
it has been some connector problem, i have moved the cable abit left to right and it begin to work.

Hey MrWunderbaum,
I own 4X and using Generic MHL cable 1080p that was bough for 15$.
Everything works fine.
You should try.
In Addition, LG owns their own MHL cables , but they are abit more expensive.

I tried and mhl 3M cable that is supposed to charge the cell phone while you project, but the problem is that it must be connected to energy to work. the cable is supposed to be designed for samsung SIII and SII

Sorry for hijacking this thread a little bit and pardon my rant.
Not too long ago i bought a mini HDMI to HDMI cable for my Optimus 3D. But now im using 4X, I can't help but feel i've been f**king trolled by LG somewhat cause that cable i had is now utterly useless. Instead they are using this MHL cable.
i mean, why can't they put a mini HDMI port for the good of saving the planet and our wallets like what they are doing for microUSB?
I've got few questions in mind. Are they going to introduce another cable for their next line-up? Is this MHL port here to stay? Nobody wants to spend 30 bucks buying a cable and to have it put out of the picture by the time he change phone next year.

MHL will stay I guess. Mini-HDMI is actually quite useless, it is necessary to add an additional port to the phone for something that can be done using the already existing one (less places where dust can get into the device). The only problem is the high price for MHL cables (The mini-HDMI adapter for my O2X was about 3€).

Cheap and good
I use this: http://goo.gl/13LEr
Play 1080p and Netflix for HD TV very well.

I have ordered myself S2 mhl adapter that also has seperate charging port. I dont need long wire as i already have long hdmi cable connected to tv, so i just needed smaller adapter to connect to tv hdmi cable. Hope it works - mhl + charging
Check out the 1 i ordered (already shipped ) :

[Q] TV Out ?

First off:
Running Cognition 3.04
TV is Vizio 32" LCD 1080P
3.5 mm to rca red,white,yellow
not sure the brand of cable, just one I had lying around.
I seem to be unable to get tv out to work. Is there a certain cable that works better than others?
TV OUT Settings are on, and using NTSC. I tried PAL also just in case. I tried all the tv input settings (av1,av2, ...etc)
Saw this work in numerous videos. I must be doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for any input!

I Had a similar experience but my TV is older... I just presumed that the TV couldn't handle the output. At one point I was able to get a really faint sketchy image of the phone that was live but nothing that would let me watch any videos from my phone with it.
Edit: I found Twonky Server Mobile in the Market and stream from my phone to my Xbox360 with no problems. I recommend the app it's great!

Got it to work! It was the old cable I was using. I used my buddies nice new Belkin cable and it works great!
How does the quality look? Sound too?
Video Quality: Not so great, but I really didn't expect great quality through AV Cables.
Audio: Not bad at all!
I tried a couple games through headphones coming out of the tv, and the sound was real good.
Eh, not bad. Wish it had an HDMI OUT!

Exactly, that would be sweet. I read a post on here somewhere about a cable that is mini usb to hdmi, that Samsung made but then gave up on. Why oh why would they do that?
I bought a cable from radio shack and it works fine. Connected it to my 46" samsung hdtv and an older tube tv. The older tv only had a cable input so I connected the rca thru a vcr. Both work fine. One note u do need to switch the yellow and red cables when connecting to the tv. Colors wont match up to get it to work.

Well I'm not sure what cables you are using but, Yellow is video and white and red are audio on mine so that ain't happening. But as previously mentioned, I got it to work with new cable, matched all three colors.

i read this too on a forum with the following additional info: (not sure on accuracy)
the reason it doesnt work / needs update for HDMI cable to work has something to do with the dock, in order for HDMI to work in HD through USB it requires all 5 pins/wires, and programming the phone to use them for hdmi would stop the docking cradle from putting the phone into desktop mode.
Samsung basically had a choice to make. Docking cradle with dock mode OR usb/hdmi.
**once again that was read on a forum, truthiness may very.
I just posted an email to Samsung support about compatibility and what software is needed. I will let you know what I hear.
Hi guys , did someone finally manage to get this hdmi cable to work (Samsung ECC1HU0BBEB) with the captivate
I bought it , have tried several ROM's and still nothing yet ! No signal !

Galaxy Tab HDMI Dock - $35 Shipped @ Amazon

Hey guys,
Just letting you know, in case you were in the market, that the HDMI dock is $35 shipped from amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ECR-D...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1297451030&sr=8-1
I picked one up, it works great! 40" of Angry Birds is awesome, lol.
The Samsung keyboard is also on sale from amazon for $65
a keyboard which allows for landscape connection should be available.......
hahahahaha adinis I totally agree with you I was just pointing it out
You will need an A to C hdmi cable too to connect the dock to your screen.
Anyone used this HDMI dock? I bought the regular dock for $20 and refund it right away. It was going to damage my tablet due to poor contact and also the sound jack reduced the volume by over 50% while killing completely the bass.
I hope this new model does not have the same issues.
Edit: I see someone else mentioned the bad design issue.
too bad with Gtab design will make any landscape dock impossible, it would be sweat..
also available on amazon.co.uk for £17.99
I just picked this dock up for $15 from amazon.com (US) love the way it sits on my desk now.. just gotta wait and see if the hdmi out via the dock will get fixed in CM7..
Took both the dock and the keyboard, one for home and the other for work. Now if only the Tab 7 had USB host, I would be done for onr year or more....

Galaxy Tab Desktop Dock
Just picked up a bargain in PC World (Currys) in Sheffield UK,looking through a bargain bin and came across a dock,asked how much and got told £1.97p so I rushed to the till before they changed their minds... Its cost me more (£3.99) to buy the HDMI cable !!! was told the reason was that they didnt do Galaxy Tabs anymore..
Mmmmmmmmm..... chair spinning as I run to PC World
Lol I picked my HDMI dock from Amazon brand new for $16.... you weren't looking hard enough they still have them around 16 to 20 US....
I just bought this one. 15 bucks ain't bad.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-HDMI-Multi-Media-Desktop/dp/B004DB7ZZK
Pretty nice. Only gripe I have is that you have to use the usb cable to connect the dock to your compy. I figured it would have came with an extra cable or something, or rather.... I was hoping it would haha
Hey thanks for this!! Really useful!
I have 2 Sprint SPH-100's that I bought used off XDA Marketplace. I can't seem to find any concrete evidence that they would work with HDMI using the supplied Samsung adapter.
Will the SPH-100 work with HDMI out?
One of the tablets is for my son and I thought it would be really slick to get him some emulators and Wiimote setup on this to connect to his TV in his room.
Actually I just found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ECC1TP0BBEGSTA-Galaxy-Tab-Cable/dp/B004DFADZK/ref=pd_sim_e_2
It is Samsung-Composite cable (he has an older tube TV) and I bet it is lacking an HDMI port. Wonder if this would work because this would be perfect... might be worth taking the chance.
[UPDATE]
HDMI Dock $12 Amazon
[UPDATE 2]
After doing some research it appears the P100 supports both HDMI out and Composite. After reading some reviews I decided to purchase these P1000 composite cables per other Tab owners because it is compatible with the P100 and also offers USB charging at the same time. If this successfully works it'll be great!
On the other hand, I see that the Tab has issues with the WiiMotes but shouldn't have any problem with my SixAxis Controller. The PS3 controller will also offer greater amount of gameplay... so it works out in the end.
Composite (Red, White, Yellow) + USB Charging Amazon
Why I don't want this kind of thing is I don't know whether the screen is or isn't being zipped.
I suspect the quality is not actually full HD
Will the Tab 2 7.0 fit in this thing?
this thread is over a year old lol

Yes it supports TV out. You need to buy an MHL adapter though. That said, it works like a charm. However, it does bog down the performance of the device (except when playing movies) because it's having to do the processing for two displays instead of one. Playing games, or web browsing, etc will be noticeably slower. However, if all you're using it is for media output, you should have no problems.
You can usually get your hands on an MHL adapter for about $20 or less.
I'm thinking about buying a HDMI MHL "cable", but have anyone here tried this one or this one? Do we need a specific MHL cable, or can we use all of them?
Edit: Found the original Samsung MHL cable for 20 Euros, so i think i'll go with that instead. It says its for SII and Galaxy Nexus, so i guess it'll work with the Note too.

Either of the one that you listed should work just fine. There's really little/no difference between those and the official Samsung one because MHL is an open standard, and hence will be compatible across many different platforms and vendors.
OK! Thanks
Now, here's a tip for possibly getting your official Samsung MHL adapter for free: Go to your local AT&T store and ask the rep if they still have the accessories for their Infuse 4G display unit. Normally they send those all back to corporate, but if you're lucky, they may still have theirs, and since corporate just throws them away anyhow, the store had no issues with just giving me their spare MHL adapter for free
I set it up with external power but couldn't get it to work. The phone switched to CLOCK.
Would a cheap $11 eBay MHL adapter work well or do we have to fork out $40 for the Samsung one?

I bought a (what would be about) $9usd cable in a small store in Hong Kong, and it works perfectly.
You have to plug the power part in first (I have a power bank thing which works well), then the micro usb into the phone, and then the phone will start outputting. Don't just plug in the microusb->hdmi and then the power, that didn't work for me and I spent a while trying to figure it out. I haven't noticed any additional lag at all.
Everything is displayed. When the phone is in portrait mode (e.g. launcher) the TV will have lots of black on either side. When playing videos landscape, it takes up the full tv screen. Sound is also output.
my tv does not have hdmi and only have the traditional red/yellow/white input. Is there any cable to connect my note to my old fashioned tv?
You can probably get some kind of HDMI to component converter, but with hdmi being digital the signal will need to be converted to analog so it will be expensive.

the price you will pay for that best you buy a new tv because the convertor sucks trust me when i say so..... a proper convertor will run 100 bucks plus even then the tv can handle the HD res so it will flicker and blank in and out or dont shows at all... spend 129 and get a nice 27" or higher native hdmi monitor...

Well, now you have one more reason. Also, a 15" CRT (ie. the old-style tube) TV consumes several times more electricity than even a 40" LCD/LED one so you're only doing a disservice to yourself by using it.
How to turn off screen using hdmi out? as battery consumption is so high even the charger cant keep up when streaming video.
I'm also having problems with my MHL adapter.
I bought this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005KJYMSC/ref=oh_o00_s02_i00_details
from amazon, as it was cheap says specifically it is compatible with the Note.
But it doesn't work, my TV just says no signal. I have the charger plugged into it, I have my 3g turned off. Everything seems right, but it wont work. I'm rather annoyed.
I have a feeling, that despite it saying so on the listing, it is infact not compatible with the Note. It says on the packaging max resolution 1280x720p... so that could well be the problem.
Moral of the story, buy the official Samsung one and save yourself the bother!
Guys,
I would like to connect my note to my car radio (7 inch screen) which has video in RCA cable.
I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261025098138&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
However, it does not work when I try it on my TV. It says 'no signal'. I was told by the seller that the Note does not have the TV out option as opposed to the S2 for example. I've checked the specs on the samsung galaxy website (TV out for S2, no TV out for Note in the connectivity list).
So, is there a specific cable like MHL to RCA that I could use?
Thanks
I got the original samsung mhl adapter from a very nice fellow here on xda for $10 shipped, he had a bunch of them he was giving away, I tried it on my S2 (Note on CM9 doesn't do MHL) and other note was broken.
Once I get both my notes back I can update the thread with more info.

Tv out via 3.5 jack

I wanted to know if it is possible to connect our device to a tv which has not have a hdmi port, through a 3.5 rca cable like galaxy s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SU4Czu3LpU.
Does the hardware support it!?
interesting, i have this cable will try and get back in the morning.
If you watch the video, the galaxy s has a TV out option, in the settings, I have not seen this on the note, so i doubt it will work.
John.
i was thinking if the hardware exist then someone with the proper knowledge do the job.
You have an MHL cable to do a HDMI connection!
I have one right here from my galaxy S. Tried it last year on my note and sad to say it doesn't work.

Agreed just use the MHL cable.
Its only a few pounds from eBay and works brilliantly. Perfect HD picture.
However I've noticed this function is no longer working now I'm on paranoid Android ICS so I might have to revert back to stock rooted GB.
Tried out the cable ... didnt work
MHL is the way to go.

[Q] MHL Lag with official Samsung Adapter

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.
