Hello,
I want to do some stuff at the same time with my phone.
Watching a movie from an usb stick while charging the phone.
So, I've bought this HDMI converter
When you plug this into the phone you can plug in your charger or USB OTG adapter in the usb port on the HDMI converter.
But i can't find any splitter cable on the internet or ebay so i can charge my phone and connect my usb stick at the same time.
I wonder if this is even possible. It is possible to charge the phone when HDMI converter is connected and it is also possible to connect my USB stick to the HDMI converter.
Anyone ever tried this or has found a simple micro usb splitter cable or normal usb splitter cable?
You can't connect a normal USB Hub because i can't send power back to my phone through the hub.
Thanks :good:
Sorry I can't help with your splitter request.
However I'd be really interested in knowing if those two items work fine with the Note 2?

so the i know it isnt possible with the 5 pin mhl adapter (the old one thats not compatible with this phone)
I wonder if the 11pn version does allow this. I know the cables dont exist for what you are looking to do, there is a galaxy note smart dock 2 that seems to allow hdmi and 3 usb ports, if they allow it at the same time then it would be at least possible.
it must be. did you try the smart dock?

I've ordered one and i will see how it will perform. smart dock is nice but pricey i'd like one for home and work!
Bought this one http://goo.gl/6OiGx and as it is listed compatible with the NOte 2 and the Galaxy S3 i was hoping it would work with the Note 2 as well - nope: only power OR OTG, not both.

Old thread... at least on my GS3 I have found that the ability to charge and use USB OTG at the same time is kernal specific. Anyone ever find one that works on Note 2?

Hi ,
I wanted to use my galaxy s2 MicroUsb HDMI MHL adapter and OTG USB cable with Galaxy tab "7" with this 30 pin galaxy tab to micro USB adapter.
Any help regarding usb host and hdmi capabilities will be appreciated.
HDMI is supported via Samsung Media Dock. Could have googled for that. There is no listed USB OTG support listed for it, but there is a Keyboard for it, which could be indicative of UDB OTG support, at least of a proprietary nature. Both of these accessories require the standard charging cable to provide power during use.

I bought Mhl adapter because i was going to buy galaxy note. Then at the last moment i changed my mind and bought galaxy tab 7 t-mobile. My media dock as also arrived. But still waiting for 30 pin con to mic usb adapter and mini hdmi to hdmi adapter. I will let every body know if any thing is discovered.

As it stands, HDMI is available through the Dock as mentioned, but there is no USB OTG support. Keyboards can be connected to the 30-pin (Samsung keyboard) or through Bluetooth (third-party keyboards).
There was a project to get USB Host support going, but it seems to have stopped. You can try the OTG gear since there are many variants of Tab and many ROMs etc, but I don't think you'll get anywhere with them since the stock software doesn't seem to support anything apart from the Samsung official accessories.
I am working on getting USB OTG working, but it wont happen anytime soon.
You cant just plug in anything that fits and expect it to work. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 30-pin to USB and 30-pin to SD are for that device.
so in conclusion, it never work?
I was thinking of using OTG + USB to RCA cable rather than HDMI...
I am using GT 7.0 plus
see if someone can answer?
is the OTG P1000 USB working on the plus model?
thks!
Hi all,
I know there have been other postings regarding this, but none have helped me solve my situation:
I have a "stock ROM" AT&T Note 2, and have tried two different Smart Dock units from Fry's. I get NO usable HDMI signal from either when connecting to my ASUS V228H monitor; the HDMI cable/monitor have been checked as working by connecting my DVD recorder up and successfully playing video content. USB connections to a wired keyboard and mouse worked well on unit #1, for some reason not on unit #2. There was no improvement when I rebooted the phone into safe mode. Lastly, the phone is correctly recognized by a PC when connecting via USB (MTP mode).
I'm ready to scrap the whole Smart Dock idea and instead buy an MHL-to-HDMI adapter and bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo, which I think can be found with total price just around that of the Smart Dock... unfortunately, I guess there's no "splitter" that could let me hook a hard drive up as well, like I could with the Smart Dock.
Does anyone have any ideas? I of course would hate to have to hard reset the phone, but might do it if there's really a good chance of it helping.
Final question: is it possible that the microUSB connector at the base of the phone could get damaged in such a way that USB to PC connections work, but MHL video does not?

did you plug the dock into an original Samsung charger?
did you reboot?
mhl takes a lot of power, so you need to have the charger plugged in to make it work.
and the usb port can get stuck in a certain mode if you've used it too much without rebooting, a simple reboot will reset it.
I am using the new micro-USB to USB cord connected to the wall charger (FYI, plugged into a power-strip, not directly into a wall outlet, would that actually lead to MHL getting too litle power?). The phone was recently rebooted. I have typed this response using a USB-connected mouse, so at least that's working. HDMI is STILL not working.

I'm guessing that unless it's specifically stated for the gn2, like the samsung dock, the microusb connector is using 5 pins instead of 11. That's the issue you'll have with mhl adapters, too: find an 11 pin, or buy the 5-> 11 adapter.
If it says compatible with the note (not note2) or evo, that's a pretty solid guarantee it's using 5 pins.
-----
I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
in this case the amount of pins is irrelevant. (edit: unless you didn't get a note 2 smart dock)
have you tried a different screen/TV and cable?
there are multiple versions of HDMI, and your cable or screen may be sufficient for an old DVD player but not a newer device.
Interesting that nowhere on the Smart Dock's box does it say "compatible with Note 2". But looking up the part # on the Samsung.com accessories site yields the following description:
Smart Dock Multimedia Hub
EDD-S20JWE
Compatibility: Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S4
As for HDMI protocols changing over time leading to incompatibilities... WTF? They don't need to create specification version numbers like USB to clue the user in? I will test your theory with an MHL to HDMI dedicated connector purchased today. If you're right, even this device won't work with my monitor...
This is going to sound like the annoying tech support people on the phone but... are you sure everything is plugged in tight?
I only ask because when I first got my smart dock I was getting picture but no sound with my hdmi cable and I was about to try a different cable but decided to try replugging everything first and voila...it started working!
It didn't make sense to me because it must be plugged in if it's working even a little but apparently either the phone wasn't docked all the way or more likely I hadn't pressed the hdmi cable in enough.
Would be nice if it's that simple in your case. Good luck!

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I had tested the Smart Dock's connections to make sure all were tight. No improvement.
I have given up on the Samsung Smart Dock for now. A "rig" that appears to be working is as follows:
1) Cirago MHL1000 MHL-to-HDMI adapter.
2) Mobile Phone->Voyage adapter (Micro 5 pin to 11 pin)
3) Comkia 3 foot HDMI cable.
4) ASUS VE228H monitor
5) HYPE Bluetooth Curve optical mouse
6) SMK-LINK Versapoint Bluetooth Slim Keyboard
You are definitely right about needing to check on the connection status of the various connectors. I periodically lose the HDMI video signal, which requires that I press the MHL adapter's plug tighter into the 5-to-11 pin connector. Yes, I also have the case off the Note II when attaching everything.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app (using the rig above).
Okay, I'm noticing that the HDMI signal gets lost every 5-10 minutes and blacks out the monitor for 5-10 secs. I also have been having the issue of definitely less than 1080p output (not sure if even 720p) except for video player and Angry Birds Star Wars which do look good.
Is this a problem of the Cirago MHL1000 plus 5-> 11 pin converter, which would be solved if I just spent some more bucks on a Samsung HDTV cable with 11 pins? Will the Samsung MHL 2.0 cable for the S4 provide better output for a Note 2 than the Samsung S3/Note 2 cable?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Okay, I sucked it up and bought the Samsung MHL 2.0 HDTV cable for the S4 and backward compatible with the Note 2. I think I've gotten things as good as it's going to get. Video out is stable and actually at higher resolution than using a Cirago cable and a 11 to 5-pin converter.
I unfortunately have no USB input capability for hard drive access. Is there any adapter to insert in the "circuit" to let me attach a HD to the Note 2 if its MicroUSB is already occupied by the MHL to HDMI cable?

hi
Hello, I have a problem when connecting a peripheral (mouse, keyboard, etc) the screen automatically flips and turns black, saying, which it is connected by hdmi too. that's not right.
otherwise it has explain, does not leave me connect the mouse and keyboard, because the s4 assumed that this also connected the hdmi.
Hey all.
Just bought a 5-pin MHL cable after accidentally buying 2x 11-pin cables. Now the problem is the phone doesn't seem to recognize the MHL cable at all.
I plug the USB end into a 2.1A adapter (double the necessary), the HDMI cable into a Panasonic HDTV and the MicroUSB into my XPZ. Figuring it should work like that I turned the TV onto the correct channel and nothing happens.
Previously when I had the 11-pin cables the phone would at least switch in landscape mode and not come out (even thought the cable wasn't right). Now that I have the right cable it doesn't work at all.
I'm running the latest nightly build of Avatar ROM but as far as I know their isn't any problem with Avatar and MHL.
Any help would be great. Cheers.

Does anybody know of a working MHL adapter with at least a 12" USB cable?
I tried these and they do not work (work probably 1 out of 20 times if you keep plugging/unplugging)

Is the Skiva MHL Micro USB to male HDMI cable (6.5 feet) for Samsung Galaxy S3 (SIII LTE i9300 L710 i747... the one that works with your M8?
I really want to get one that will work.

No, only the old Samsung one works consistently which has the short usb cAble.
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171391851548
works perfectly as I think most will.
It's all down to the sequence you plug the cables in.
Power>Phone>HDMI
Cant remember the correct sequence but try it out.
COPIED FROM AMAZON AD.
1. connect the charger to the adapter cable and power supply
2. connect the adapter cable to the HDTV device
3. connect the Smartphone to the adapter cable

I tried allcombinations before posting and none works consistently with the 2 cables I bought .
With the old Samsung adapter, it doesn't matter which order you plug in phone, power and hdmi.
I don't think all cables/adapters (advertised as 5 pin) are same. It cut open the usb part from the working Samsung adapter and it has 7 wires.
The other non working ones have 5.
If anyone is interested to know, this one works for me most of the time. Doesn't matter which order I plug it in (I usually plug the phone last though)

Its 3m in length and requires external power to work. It charges the phone although slower than MHL drains, i.e. your phone will still be discharging while connected via MHL but at a much slower rate.

Hey !
For me, using the Dualshock 4 via Bluetooth is impossible, it lags and duplicate commands, but it actually works perfectly via OTG
how?
Plugged it in my MI 9 and nothing happens.
I'm using original MI 9 charger cable and and otg micro usb adapter like this.
no reaction at all.
even tried a usb-c to hdmi hub (has hdmi, USB port and PD). nothing.

Is the OTG working on other devices?
I'm using a Samsung one (see attachments), it's the one included in the Galaxy S10 box, a friend gave it to me because he had one already, you can find it here
I just plug the controller inside the USB and then plug the OTG in the phone using the Type C
I think you are actually plugging the phone into the controller because the OTG you sent me is a Micro USB one, so you might be plugging your phone into the OTG that you actually plug into the controller
I see but also tried one of these:
RON 26.05 32%OFF | Kebidu Type-C Female Adapter Usb Type-C Hub Adapter 3-in-1 USB C hub to HDMI USB3.0 with Charging Converter
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/2dG8IbBa
Which I'm essence is the same as otg using the hub and still nothing
unfortunately xiaomi screwed us again.
although android 10 comes with dualshock 4 support, it's nowhere to be seen in miui11
so here's the deal, both of my Dualshock 4 controllers are v1.
Borowed a V2 from a friend, no lag whatsoever. not sure, but I suspect a driver issue on the phone side with v1
