You cannot find, or you forgot to google ?
The note hs HDMI over MHL.
So you need to buy the cable
Yes I know it has hdmi out as I have found that on Google and eBay I'm talking about standard old Samsung TV out via 3.5mm so I can use it with my vuzix wrap

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.
Yesterday I got an mhl adapter (a Samsung one).. however whenever the phone begins to display to HDMI, overall performance goes down to the point that any interaction with the phone lags pretty severely.. Has anyone else faced the same issue?

Yes I have.
You gotta remember, just how much more work the Note is having to do in order to render images on two displays at once when you have the MHL adapter hooked up. Both devices still have the exact same GPU in them, so you're asking the same hardware to do completely different work.
Example:
The SGS2's screen resolution is 800*480 on its own, so that's 38400 pixels, or 76800 pixels when the MHL adapter is hooked up (800*480)x2. So, even the SGS2, when rendering 76800 pixels while using the MHL adapter, is still less than what the Note renders on its own with just one screen (1280*800 = 1024000 pixels). So when you hook up the MHL adapter to the Note, and now all of a sudden the GPU is tasked with rendering 2048000 pixels, it's no wonder things start to bog down a bit...
That said, even 1080p video playback should be completely smooth, as video rendering uses a completely different engine.
So to sum up, SGS2 with MHL adapter = 76800 rendered pixels, which is less than the 1024000 rendered pixels on the Note without the MHL adapter attached (which is why it's so smooth on the SGS2). With the MHL adapter attached, the Note is having to render 2048000 pixels, which is really pushing the boundaries of what the Mali-400 is capable of.
Now about that i bought the mhl converter and i just put it on the phone without a hdmi and hooked the charger on it. I noticed the phone want even charging it was losing battery from 45% did go to 25%. Is this normal? The phone just pushes the images to mhl even without a second display to be connected to it?!?!?!?

This is due to how much processing power it takes to drive two displays at once. The phone is having to work exponentially harder, thus if the workload exceeds the power being provided by USB, it will make up the difference by drawing from the battery.
The Note's charger is 1 amp I believe. Try using the 2 amp charger from a galaxy tab instead. That should provide enough power to drive the Note on MHL, and still have enough left over for charging the battery.
I didn't notice any significant slow down when I used my mhl adaptor? I only played angry birds on my 55" plasma though, and I use it to play music. and i have a snidy chinese one not the official one.
Why is there no option to turn off mirroring on the phone. I hate having a movie playing on both screens, it is such a waste. Does ICS fix this??

The problem is that i didn't have a second display on the mhl it was only the charger but still phone was losing battery. It should recognize if another display is on it or not

I understand that the phone definitely has a lot to do, but I'm worried that my phone isn't functioning right.. Especially that it seems that there are other phones out there that don't face this problem.
If you take a look at the video in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19068253&postcount=1
And especially the part with the n64 gaming, it's clearly very smooth. Mine doesn't get anywhere near that.. The video, sound and input all lag/chop..
I was hoping to find if anyone else faced and solved this or a similar problem.. :s
Oh, and also of note is that my battery drains even while it's plugged in (but both displays are on), even though Samsung clearly states that the mhl adapter should charge the phone while in use...
It seems to me like it might be a performance issue on the phone side (I'm on stock). Any suggestions? (but preferably I'd rather not have to switch to a custom ROM, at least until a stable cyanogen mod gets released)
I don't understand why there is a 1080p output when it really laggy. Is there a way to make it 720p ?
I would assume the display lag when using an MHL - adapter should lessen a bit when ICS is released. After all, Gingerbread uses software to draw its graphics which is already in and of itself a slow process, not to mention when it has to draw two displays in software. ICS, on the other hand, can draw most things with hardware-acceleration and thus the impact on performance is much lower.
As somewhat anecdotal evidence I may offer you the fact that I have an Iconia Tab A500 which originally runs Honeycomb. Honeycomb doesn't support hardware-acceleration either, so the situation is similar. However, when I slapped an ICS ROM on it I saw a large performance-boost in almost all operations. The thing about A500 is that it also runs a dual-core CPU, has the same amount of RAM as Note, and has even the same screen-resolution.

That is not how it works.
When you plug in the mhl adapter it renders the phone screen resolution and the TV resolution. It doesn't simply double the resolution.
For example the sgs2 renders 2457600 pixels on a 1080p tv.
The note however would render 3097600 pixels in the same case.
There is higher load on the note, but nothing too extreme.

Is this safe to use on a regular basis? Does this mean if I use the Galaxy Tab charger for my Note that its battery will get charged faster? Is there any risk of fire/explosion or damage to the battery or phone if I use a charger with a higher amperage?
Simply put, MHL sucks! I'd like to strangle whoever came up with it. Bring on dedicated HDMI ports, even better HDMI with power capabilities.

Does anyone know if this is safe to use? I can pick up a spare Galaxy Tab charger tomorrow, if it means I can replenish the Note's battery faster than it drains during HDMI hookup/output.

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

So, I plugged in my rocketfish mhl adapter and it instantly came up on my monitor but only in 720p. I can't figure out how to change it. Suggestions? I know the One supports 1080p @30 fps through mhl.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Stock rom and kernel? Do you have another TV to test on? Mine fires to 1080 right away and it's some cheap cable from the Philippines and ARHD. No selection for other output methods in settings that I can find in 4.2.2.
ARHD 10.1 rom w/ stock kernel I believe. Unless the image was bundled with a kernel. I didn't flash one (3.4.10-gd6f147e [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT). No other TV at home to test with. I'll try on another set when I can. I know my monitor is definitely 1080p.
I have the same problem, and I have bought this from amazon.de

Hi, i use a adapter similar to the one gernerttl posted.
It works with a Hisense 4K TV on HDMI with 4k 30Hz but the aspect ratio is wrong. I have got black borders left and right on the TV.
Does somebody know, how to change the aspect ratio or maybe also the rsolution? I think 1080p is enough and i would like to get 60Hz for maybe playing retroarch on TV.
P.S. on an other TV it is 1080p and 60Hz but still block borders left and right.
Dex works ok
Smart View is not usable with HDMI connected.
