Mhl hdmi?

Mhl hdmi?
I has already heard wasn't possible but then I saw a site selling it saying normal cables like the one I use to connect to TV with my sgs2 wouldnt work because HTC uses ext-mhl rather than just mhl(dont ask me) so I bought it. Looks like original HTC cable but it doesnt do the trick. went back to stock and what not. No difference. It aint going to happen is it? Ics maybe?
(apologize.in advance.if.theres.another.thread.but.i.just.couldn't find.it)
Cheers!

The port is a standard mini USB port. it's not MHL.

don't it just! Anyway, the HTC Media Link DLNA streamer works, and Expansys were selling them for half price last time i looked...

OTG USB cable

The anandtech review says that the nexus 7 has OTG support, so I just ordered this OTG cable. Its only
$4 .00 and ships fast. If you're in the UK search OTG on eBay and you'll find a cheap cable that ships to the UK, this one is in the US though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-O...Accessories&hash=item43b051fc2e#ht_4080wt_689

Link to anandtech review? im very curious about otg.
Edit: never mind i found it !!!!!!!111

Thanks! I think I'll pick one of these up. Although I'm not sure exactly what I'd use it for yet.

Plug in a keyboard and/or mouse for faster typing and a mouse pointer.
Anandtech http://www.anandtech.com/show/6054/google-nexus-7-mini-review has updated their mini-review to say that "Unfortunately I found out that mounting USB storage will not be supported natively. In addition MHL is not supported."

Well hopefully one of the devs can fix it :banghead:

Why not use Bluetooth keyboard and mouse? I used these on my Galaxy Tab 7 plus.

Can be useful if you're suddenly stuck up ****creek and only have USB devices around you .

Is there any USB OTGs that look just like a small USB dongle and you can put microSD cards in there instead of USBs?

This may be along the lines of what you're looking for. Just pop it in the cable in the OP.

Actually the devs don't need to fix anything, all you need to do is root the device and bam, you can mount an OTG USB device. That's what I'm gonna do!

Is there such a thing as dual USB otg cable, Micro USB to dual female USB? I figure the tablet could charge whilst using external storage that way

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..

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.

I'm confused by this whole pin thing! !!!
How many pins does a note 2 have?

Are you running a custom ROM?

http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Female...20&sr=8-16&keywords=mhl+adapter+galaxy+note+2
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!

MHL

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?

Galaxy Tab 3 Sprint 7" HDMI out without dock?

I have one of those red wires that has hdmi out and also a charging link included... my old HTC evo 4g lte works with it, but a galaxy tab 3 doesn't? I just get "connect to dock" and i think something about audio it says.. But no video.. I have a s3 mhl adapter but of course that doens't work either.. I am guessing... galaxy tab 3 7" sprint won't hdmi out to the tv with the proper usual mini to big hdmi output cords.. correct?

You know there is a forum for tab 3, right?
