Are you sure you bought the correct one?
Youll need the one for the galaxy s3 because it is 11pins i believe and there are mhl ones with 5 or 7 pins which is what most sell. So you might just need the 11pin adapter
so if you do buy it make sure its the galaxy s3 one as it is already 11 pin usb connector
You need a 5pin to 11 pin adapter to make what you have work, the adapter can be found for $3 shipped
The Samsung kit I got has the 5pin to 11pin adapter included but I have no signal on TV with or without the adapter . The Note does make a tone when I plug the adapter in. Do I have to enable something on the phone?? Thanks, Mike

Do you have your USB power connected to the MHL adapter while connected to the Note?
There's another MHL thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014441
Yup. Everything connected and just tried a different USB cable and also the 2amp Note wall charger. Giving up for tonite. Would appreciate more hints or advice-did look at some of those other posts. Thanks!

I got nothing to add. I just plug my Note into the MHL adapter, select my source on my TV and boom, I see my phone screen on the big screen. There's nothing to set on the phone AFAIK.
The resolution when using MHL is just 1920x1080 30Hz only, the screen quality is very bad, I'm disappointed
No, all stock for now..

Update:
My Amazon Basics 3 meter HDMI cable was no good. Different cable fixed my issue.

I use the Samsung MHL and Samsung 11 pin adapter and the picture quality is amazing. Even on my projector the resolution comes up as 1080 and it looks awesome.

How many pins does a note 2 have?

Are you running a custom ROM?

I bought this cable for my note2. it works great and the image out on my tv is pretty awesome. for this to work you just need hdmi to hdmi cable and your charger and baam it works. this product at times needs to be moved around so it can show on the tv but other then that it works and its cheap.
I have 1. It works but it is a little laggy for watching videos.

Yea you might have the wrong adapter. I have the Orealo C1 MHL Slim Pico Projector that i use with mine. It the projector came with two cables and I tested them both separately one was the HDMI and other was MHL. They have to be used together for the Samsung to have a video output. Not that its a bad thing because it extends the cable length. LOL. But check that you have the right one.
Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151158410612 this work for me perfectly fine. Came in 2 Days work for my s4 and note 2 .

I only have 2 hdmi ports in my vizio tv with 2 hdmi cables. I'm thinking of getting the above. Would a female to female hdmi adapter take away from the quality of the image?
Does anyone have a link to an mhl adapter with a female port which works for you?
Thx!
Anyone had any luck with these cables? Specifically using an external DAC while still powering the phone. It's possible on my Nexus 7 with a custom kernel.

I am using one of these cables, but in a different manner, ie I am accessing a WD Passport 1TB external drive. (does not have ac in) Both my drive is powered AND my phone is charged. (tried using both a 10kmAh external battery pack as well is direct AC adapter.
Know it's not exactly the setup you are using, but as far as cables go, the phone seems to work well with this setup. YMMV

If I may ask, where did you get the cable? The only one I found so far is on Amazon and review there say that it will not charge the phone, just the external device.

On my Nexus, I did have to flash the right kernel. I'm guessing that will have to happen here too.

Just an update. I ordered one of these http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=261170130579&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=87388073446
Should have it next week to test but based on the seller's description and testing on similar devices, sounds promising. I'll report back.
I have just bought it.
Initially USB hosting works, but I have no chance to charge at this time.
-----update-----
The female micro USB jack does not charge the phone like the one for Galaxy Tab.
Do you think we still need to add a 40.2k ohm resistor just in the galaxy s3 and will a stock kernel work?

I would like to add I managed to get an OTG + charging cable working for the Note 2 (N7100) using a cable made with these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953061
But... the 4.1.2 update stopped the USB from working on my Note 2, and someone else is reporting a similar problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38611244&postcount=42 . What happens is the Note 2 does detect it's using a dock, but the USB functionality doesn't work for some odd reason (even after a reboot).
I will reply again if it starts working in a future update.

Probably the same as the s3 - shorted pins = otg+no charging, resistor fools the phone into thinking it has an accessory/dock that can charge safely.

It sees that it's in a "dock" but nothing I plug in will work. It does charge though. If I short out the pins I get host mode, but no charging. This is with the Jedi rom, not stock.
Just a quick question.. will galaxy s3's mhl to hdmi cable work on our note2?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
My experience last week.
Bought one
Try it at home
returned it within the hour
Odp: MHL
Bought one of eBay and works perfectly well.
Yes, it works and works well.. Buy it from Samsung with a 50% off coupon and you get it for around $25 with shipping. I bought one from eBay ($10) and it was not from Samsung, even though it said it was and it did not work.
As I am discovering, though, take note of the copy protection the S3 employs. Connecting it to a recent, big-name TV? Probably fine. No-name, older, analog, or some foreign displays refuse to connect.

Thanks for the response. As mhl to hdmi for note 2 cost a lot dearer here compared to the one for the s3... I was just thinkinv if theres any difference as Ive read confirmation that the two devices uses the same adapter
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
The only thing I know that is important in regards to the MHL adapter is that is must be a 11-pin and most on the market is a 5-pin which is why a lot of the adapters dont work
The connectors section of this Wiki Page says that older tvs will also require it to be powered.

I've just bought S3/Note 2 Samsung MHL adapter and it doesn't work without external power source when connected to the LCD monitor (the monitor is 4 years old). But maybe it's different story with new TVs or monitors.

yes.. that is exactly the ONLY different between MHL for S2 and S3/Note2
S2 uses 5-pin micro USB
S3/Note2 uses 11-pin micro USB
I bought OEM S2 MHL adapter.. and it comes with 11-pin converter. no prob at all.
I bought two at ebay from two diff sellers. Around $10 shipped from Hong Kong. Have been using them for over three months. Working fine and the material quality is not bad.
it works.
Sgs3 and note 2 has the same Microusb port.
I tried both in Samsung Galaxy Smart dock and it works flawlessly.
I hear u cannot conect both mhl and usb otg cables to smart dock with both working at the same time. Is that right? I wanna know this cause i want to use a rf (USB)wireless keyboard while having the phone mhl'd to my tv(used as a pc). Don't want to use BT keyboard. Any news on that?

I recently ordered a Pioneer AppRadio2 and have ARLiberator installed on my Note II. Waiting for the radio to come in from Amazon.
Does anyone have experience with the AppRadio with the ARLiberator on the Note II?
How does it run? Is it smooth? Is it worth it?
Thanks!:good:
I have this combo and it is excellent. Pioneer should be paying the dev of arliberator as it is way better than the garbage that pioneer offers!

Do you have to install a brake bypass switch for it work?
I got the appradio 2 its awsome with the note II you have to buy the adapter for the mhl cable or it wont work or just buy a compatible mhl cable but yea I love it in my wifes car.
I installed the brake bypass... worth the 15-20 dollars.. otherwise you have to toggle the ebrake for video. Simple 3 wire connection

For some reason, I left my brake wire unconnected and it works just fine without any warnings when I hook up my phone either immediately before or after the Head Unit turns on. However, if i were to hook up my phone some time after the AppRadio has been turned on, then it will show me the warning screen. So I left it unconnected and just hook up my phone immediately. My AppRadio 2 is a US version too.

Oh, one other thing is I have to have ARLiberator and Bluetooth ready for a connection as well.
Have a new gs3 and i rooted it. I will download ARLIberator once the head unit see the phone. Bought the android pieoner cable, had cable installed by BestBuy (which is where i bought the head unit and had it install by them) and then went and bout gs3 cause of all the reviews. Only thing that works is my phone charging, unit do see phone. Any help would be great..

Go to samsung site or newegg and buy the 5 to 11 pin mhl adapter. Don't buy from ebay as you may get a fake unit and end up with snow issues.
S3 and note 2 needs 11 pin and the pioneer android kit uses 5 pin mhl.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Or just return that pioneer cable which costs way too much and just buy the Samsung 11 pin mhl adapter and any hdmi cable. It's way cheaper and you can get the official Samsung adapter from the Samsung site with the 50% coupon.
the pioneer kit doesn't work with the s3 is cause its a 5 pin when the s3 needs an 11 pin.
Thank u for reply. My pioneer cord is already install and i got it for $35 off Amazon. Do u have a link for the adaptor? With that adaptor my phone will work and charge at same time? Also wondering what a tasker app does and which one do i download? I heard that the tasker will do everything once phone is plugged in and turn off screen too. I plan on plugging in and putting phone in compartment out of site. Again thank you for taking time to answer the other questions and now these if u can..

Its currently out of stock though.. try checking samsung site for the same item.
As for tasker, im using it but it didn't work too well with turning the screen off. Once in a while the screen turns on. Other tasks work ok tho.
You can try downloading tasker and screen off apps and search around how to use tasker to toggle screen off.

I use an appradio2 in my car in conjunction with my note 2, I am using an allshare cast dongle so theres zero wires. Everything remains in my glove box.
Boo, my bh-8400bt doesn't have a hdmi port in the back I believe, but it does support app radio capabilities on iOS.
30 more then I planned but if it really works. Wish i had known about it, could have saved me 30 by not ordering pioneer android cable...

Maybe because the S3 used a proprietary adapter that was 9 or 10 pins for Samsung devices only.
A standard MHL adapter is a normal 5 pin micro usb plug.
But i could be wrong.
