MHL to RCA? - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Howdy,
I have a dvd player in my VW camper, is there a cable anyone could recommend to go from MHL to RCA? Will it work on a custom ROM? There's a lot of conflicting info out there. Thanks!

you can do a search on amazon for a mhl 2 rca and come up with a few results for that cable. and as far as custom roms go. i would imagine it would work on a touchwiz based rom(jedimasterx2 would be a good example here) as far as the likes of non touchwiz based roms(ie. aokp) it wouldn't work as allshare is not included. hopefully i answered your question. can't tell ya much more then that. maybe someone else can chime in on the cable who has maybe purchased one. i unfortunately only have the mhl2hdmi not the rca varient so.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. It's a dvd player/in dash receiver, so it has rca aux inputs. I looked into those cables and a lot of reviews say they don't work and a few actually say it won't work with custom roms, which to me sounds kinda strange.

it wont work with a simple cable.
MHL only outputs digital signal so no analog RCA, you need something to convert it with a scan converter from HDMI to RCA, which require external power.
Also it wont work on customs roms because MHL uses proprietary drivers and only works on stock roms.

That's what I feared. Thanks for the confirmation.

I wish such a cable or some workaround existed, I would've been able to hook up my Note 2 to my car's Pioneer touchscreen system

I got an mhl to HDMI adapter and then a HDMI to rca converter from Monoprice. Works perfect

[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!
I went on ebay a typed iphone tv out get the one with a 3.5mm jack

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 !

[Q] Micro USB to digital audio out adapter?

I was if Note is able to output "digital" audio signal via it's micro usb port. So, it can connect to a external DAC for better processing. Has anyone tried this or know where I can buy adapter for this purpose?

There has been some discussion in using an MHL HDMI adaptor and then an HDMI to digital out, like TOSLINK/OPTICAL. A bit clunky. The HMDI must output digital audio. I would like to see someone try it and report. I've found the sound quality a bit crappy.
Try playing a FLAC file as opposed to MP3. Really not worth bothering with MP3 if you are looking at an external DAC.
So I found this
Expensive but its an HDMI to headphone amp. 24/192k 110dB
Some newer HTav amps have HDMI input, would love to see someone hook up a note to one and report on audio quality!
and this. Bit cheaper, but if anyone has one, rip it open and tell us what the chips are!
The s3 has usb audio support. Check it out over in the S3 forums or google it. only certain usb dacs are Supported hopefully it will be ported to the Note! if you have ICS, root and a usb audio device you could check dmesg output. Can't post links from my phone. I read about the glandos kernel that might be worth looking at. Its some exciting development.

Looking for a Car dock which supports MHL/HDMI

I know these have most likely not being produced but just in case anyone may know off something.
I currently run the app radio 2 and have my Note 2 in the glovebox but would prefer a car dock that could be powered and support HDMI/MHL.
A neat and tidy solution as the current MHL/HDMI solution is messy and not nice to look at and would be nice to be able to access the phone in times when there are issues with the App Radio.
I recently bought one of these cables.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009N7E6IS/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
It works great for my TVs and I didn't need to buy the Samsung mhl Adaptor.
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't look too messy when paired with a decent looking car mount.
But I would like to know if your stereo head unit has an HDMI input because other wise this would be useless.

This phone doesn't do MHL but it uses Slimport. As far as I know there are only hdmi and vga adapters. Maybe find hdmi to composite rca? Not sure if it would work though...

slimport cost too much just for "try" , Is there some fake cheaper option ? just dont wanna take a risk and paying 20$ and it'll not work.

No, sorry. If you have a computer monitor then you could do slimport to vga but current devices aren't made with output to crt tv in mind.
I use the Netgear PTV3000 with this HDMI to Composite / AV Video Converter and it works fine. Miracast has a noticeable lag. I also use this slimport adapter directly to an HDMI TV but I haven't tried it with the HDMI to composite adapter. I saw one Miracast to HDMI + AV adapter by Visson.

this is where i got mines
Did your MHL cable work for the M8?
I have a cheap one I got for my Samsung s3, and it has an adapter that goes between the phone and the cable and if I don't use that adapter it works fine. I think the Samsung interface has a switched wire that's why it needs it. So not all cables are the same but if the universal one had a removable adapter it will probably work.

How did you guys got it to work? I bought two different MHL 5pin adapters and none worked. The MHL symbol does appear on the phone but there is no image on the TV. I dont undestand and I am getting desperate, does someone has any tips?
Cheers
A "cheap" MHL cable will probably be MHL 1.0, which won't support 1080p (1080i @ 30Hz max rather than the 1080p @ 60Hz that MHL 2.0 supports)
Most MHL cables are also designed for use with recent Samsung devices, which use a proprietary MHL implementation, which is NOT compatible with non-Samsung devices.
The MHL "standard" is almost totally useless, mostly thanks to Samsung creating this confusion, plus the fact that almost no-one ever categorically states what version of the format (1.0, 2.0 and now 3.0) their devices are.
The new Sony devices support MHL 3.0, if they use a standard implementation then their adapters might be the way to go, assuming they eventually turn up and don't cost an arm and a leg.
Anyone with T-Mobile firmware can please confirm if MHL works?
