Greetings,
People seem to be comparing the S3 mini to the S2, which i find to be a little bit strange, I seem to have found out that it support much less Bluetooth profiles than the S2 I9100 phone. But I have a few questions for you guys, on gsmarena it is indicated that it will NOT support USB Host or USB OTG which is a requirement for me, can anyone confirm this or not? Also, if it does support USB OTG, will it use the old MHL connector or the new one that permits to use HDMI and USB at the same time?
Thanks for the help!
Carl

Can anyone confirm this? Want to use hdmi with my S III mini.
Actually it's not very clear, someone says the old one,some others the new one ( 5 pin /11 pin if i don't get wrong). You need to find someone who already tried
i tried usb otg, and it didnt work but i saw somebody say its just a software limitation.. somebody also said he tried tv out and it worked but he didnt mention which cables he used...

I know one end is a female USB port where a USB mouse can fit into, however...what kind of connection goes into the Note?...I need to know so I can search online and place an order...thank you.
Please can someone confirm that this is the correct adapter to enable me to connect a mouse to my note:

I don't know if the one of your link will do it but what I know is that you should be looking for a USB OTG(on the go) which is compatible with either the GS2 or the Note.
I bought something like this and it worked just fine.

Theoretically it should work however not all OTG adapters work as they should.
If you don't mind paying extra the original samsung OTG cable is fairly reasonably priced ATM.

I've contacted the seller and lets hope I can get a refund now.
So...any OTG cable is fine?
One more question....for those who know or who have tried, does a wireless mouse work with this cable?...as i'm thinking of getting a bluetooth mouse, thanks.
yes most otg cables will work, some say they will not work with 2.3.3. and above
the cables are for attaching usb devices if the bluetooth is usb based then it should work but if it isnt and its a normal bluetooth mouse then i dont know

Create an app to do what ?
There is no HDMI port on the phone, the only solution i see is to use the USB port, but then you would also need some hardware that connects on the USB and reinterprets that data sent to it and export that on a HDMI port.
I for one haven't seen any such devices (USB-to-HDMI for phones).

It is called MHL adapter
It does exactly that- micro usb to HDMI and is being use in galaxy nexus and galaxy note etc
Unfortunately not the case for our blacky
So, finally end with smart share..USB mass storage only...
NO HDMI...:banghead:

Cant tell you how much i hope you are wright and we get to use mhl
are you sure you cant use an micro usb-hdmi cable, parhaps with an app that interprates the signal and send it through usb

As said before it is nothing to do with an app. It has to be supported by the kernel. So far not possible for the black. Also possible issue is the output electricity. It needs to be 5v 500mA.
Technically speaking the OBs chipset supports usb-otg and hdmi .
Just matter of incorporating mhl in the kernel now or on ICS.
P.s. In an optimistic mood i bought the before mentioned adapter, and it has optional external power supply ( the phone charger or battery pack) .Waiting for it to come, and either there will be some change in near future or there will be new phone which supports mhl out of the box.
opti_black lacks HDMI connectivity..
thats sad but true .
It is not OB that lacks it.
The SOC can do it. It is LG that ain't interested in giving us the option.
i certainly wouldn't use it
i did not use it at all in my optimus 3D
As like the members say it certainly depends upon the taste of droidser.. some of them take its advantage while other rarely..
However its overall use by droidser is least.

So guys are you sure there is nothing to do in order to connect OB to TV by hdmi cable?
I just bought a LED TV a week ago and I want to connect the ob to it..
Afraid not a lot to be done. I have usb to hdmi adapter and it works fine with Galaxy Note , but as mentioned before not with the OB.
Following closely the development for the galaxy sl. They are still in a lock down and no luck.
But still hope is there.
ow about on screen phone??can use it for make an app for hdmi?
done some searching around for this too but no real solution. If you want to see your phone screen on the TV, connect it to you computer, use some remote screen software and connect the computer screen output to the TV
Does the S3 mini support video out? (MHL) Does it use use the same MHL adapter as the S3? Googled it but I can't find a definitive answer. THANX!

This microUSB port is MHL-compliant too, letting you output HD video and surround audio when using the right kind of cable. The one downer is that Samsung has made this port ever-so-slightly proprietary and it'll reportedly only work properly as a video output when used with Samsung's own cable. This costs around £20.

This is very good quote from trustedreviews.com , but did You tried this? (no offence)
Because I searched for some information about MHL support in my gt-i8190 and i found contradictory answers. Some sites and reviews said that S3 mini supports MHL, others that it doesn't. Even on official samsung site there is no information about this. (only "No TV Out")
So the questions are:
1. Does it support MHL? Anyone tried it with success?
2. If it supports, what MHL standard? 5-pin or 11-pin?

Hi
Did you ever find out if the S3 mini supports MHL
I tried to fit an 11pin adapter into one today and it definitely does not fit
Like you I cannot find and good info in the mini to see what the video output capabilities are
Thanks Ross
I checked spec at gsmarena.com.
MHL support onty S2, S3, S4, Note1, Note2, Mega6.3, Note8.0, Note10.1, Tab3.
So sad mini doesn't support.
I know the KFHD7 can't power things plugged into the micro USB but assuming a USB hub or power from another source just having the data cable plug into it should work, right? I've tried a USB2 HDD and USB wireless mouse/keyboard and they don't work though, although they do on my Samsung Galaxy S3 using same apps to mount in case of the USB2 HDD.
If this is possible what am I missing to make it work?

i m going to explain you why you cant use them (i bought a keyboard) amazon disabled usb otg in the kernel. i said amazon to turn it on. i contacted them 2 times, and nothing. i think, we have to contact them to enable it (all forum users) or pay me 35 dollars for a bluetooth keyboard!

Damn, lack of USB OTG support is a real shame, I was hoping to use the KFHD7 as a portable media centre/laptop replacement but it might be impossible by the sound of it.
One thing i forgot to mention is that my KFHD7 is modified with TWRP and CM 10.1, runs really smooth compared to the stock software. But is USB OTG stillnot possible like it was on the original Kindle Fire? Seeing as this newer one uses a second bootloader and all.

Hey guys,
I was looking at the Samsung smart dock :
( can't insert link as I am a new Member)
And was wondering if it would work on the Xperia z1?
I know that the z1 supports MHL and OTG so I'm guessing it could work..
Also, I realise that the actual phone won't fit onto the dock properly but I really want hdmi out with at least 2 usb inputs, so I'm fine with using a micro usb male to female cable to run from the phone onto the dock.
This is my first post so let me know if I'm doing something wrong
Thanks in advance

It's a hardware issue actually, Samsung uses special usb connectors which can active both mhl and usb at the same time, not sure Sony does too...

I use something like this and it works fine to have HDMI out, but never tried using the USB in at the same time.
You can use the usb as storage or only for charging while using hdmi?

I heard that the USB input on that could only be used for power and nothing else.. :/
I think that's correct, as the HDMI output does not work unless there is AC power going to the Micro USB in.

Theres a cheaper version of the dock on ebay for $11 which has HDMI and USB (both full size) ports. I might buy it and try that one first.
A stupid question, how can I use the MHL cable and charge the Z1 in the same time? It is possible?
