Hi all,
I have appradio 4. I was using a Samsung 2.0 MHL adapter for my S5. To my surprise, it does not fit S6 Edge. What is the proper accessory?
im sure i read somewhere the s6 doesnt support MHL,
from memory i was part kickstarter for a new mhl lead and they had to ask all s6 owners to cancel as samsung didnt support it?
Yea the post above is correct. S6 only supports screen mirroring miracast not mhl. Sucks if you ask me. Only plus is you can actually hold a charge in your phone using mirroring unlike mhl. Atleast that's how it was with my HTC one.

I have a HDMI cable that works perfectly in a Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Note II, so I was certain there would be no problem using it on the Galaxy Camera, but it seems to be a proprietary port which is a fraction smaller than a micro USB.
I am a bit angry about this, as it means a (probably expensive) Samsung branded cable needs to be purchased. Considering how expensive the camera is, Samsung should have at least provided one.
The other problem is finding a retailer that sells one. I can't seem to locate one as yet.

Hi there, with regards to the HDMI port on the Samsung Galaxy Camera, I believe it is using a standard micro-HDMI sized connector. These ports have been in use on Android devices for a while now so you should be able to pick one up for a reasonable price rather easily. Here is an example of a cable that should work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-HDMI-...=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item1e6125af08
Good luck in your hunt!

Thanks for the info, I guess I was so used to a phone's multi use Micro USB socket I forgot that the camera has a separate HDMI socket and that it's pretty much standard! Doh!
I shall now buy a cheap one off eBay.
Thanks again.
I bought on ebay an HDMI cable compatible with GS2 and Note, but with gCam does not work. Does anyone know tell me a compatible model, tried in person? Thanks

I know that Samsung HDMI cable are not compatible betwwen S2/Note and S3. I believe Note 2 and Galaxy Camera use same new format that S3 and it's probably why it doesn't work for you. but not 100% Sure.

Samsung uses 3 different types of connectors in their devices.
there's the regular mhl connector used in the note 1 and S2 which I think is a 6pin connector.
The note 2 and S3 use a Samsung mhl connector which has 11 pins and also allows you to use usb for sync/data transfer while outputting video.
and there's the regular old standard micro sized HDMI port which is used in the galaxy camera.
It's a tiny little port next to the battery, which requires a $0.50 adapter plug to get a full sized HDMI cable plugged in, or you can just use a cable with HDMI micro on one end and full sized HDMI on the other.

Does the S3 mini support video out? (MHL) Does it use use the same MHL adapter as the S3? Googled it but I can't find a definitive answer. THANX!

This microUSB port is MHL-compliant too, letting you output HD video and surround audio when using the right kind of cable. The one downer is that Samsung has made this port ever-so-slightly proprietary and it'll reportedly only work properly as a video output when used with Samsung's own cable. This costs around £20.

This is very good quote from trustedreviews.com , but did You tried this? (no offence)
Because I searched for some information about MHL support in my gt-i8190 and i found contradictory answers. Some sites and reviews said that S3 mini supports MHL, others that it doesn't. Even on official samsung site there is no information about this. (only "No TV Out")
So the questions are:
1. Does it support MHL? Anyone tried it with success?
2. If it supports, what MHL standard? 5-pin or 11-pin?

Hi
Did you ever find out if the S3 mini supports MHL
I tried to fit an 11pin adapter into one today and it definitely does not fit
Like you I cannot find and good info in the mini to see what the video output capabilities are
Thanks Ross
I checked spec at gsmarena.com.
MHL support onty S2, S3, S4, Note1, Note2, Mega6.3, Note8.0, Note10.1, Tab3.
So sad mini doesn't support.
Notice: none of my TVs supports MHL (so I need something, that will let me charge my phone).
I bought MHL cable that was made for Galaxy S3, but it sadly didn't fit to my microUSB port, ofc it didn't work.
The question is, will my HTC One M8 work with MHL adapter that is designed for Galaxy S2 (this one is 5Pin)? It looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/cHkfPMZ.png (not sure if I can post link to store here).
I currently have a Note edge and have been looking at edge+ and note 5. I've seen a few post on xda stating that neither phone supports MHL 3.0 is this true, also do they still support OTG? I can deal without MHL due to chomecast and screen mirroring but I have to have OTG support especially since they ditched micro SD. Can anyone confirm both for me thanks.
Otg works fine
Hi all. I have a tab s2 on marshmallow, only had it a couple of weeks, and found an MHL cable from a Samsung smart tv I've had a couple of years. I assumed this Samsung cable would just work and I could watch the tablet on the tv. Not so. I'm gutted as my old tablet had micro hdmi so it was painless.
Do I need to do anything to get MHL working? Am I missing something?
Screen mirroring is fine but I've found lip sync issues with sound hence wanting it connected directly.
Thanks in advance. Alan
I know their phones haven't supported MHL for a few generations now, and I'd honestly be surprised if the Tab S2 does.
Of course I've just had my tablet for a week, and don't have an MHL cable, but that's just my thought

Note 4 was the last Samsung smartphone, AFAIK, to support MHL-out. That truly was the last great Samsung device because after that they jettisoned removable batteries, infrared blasters and, for a year, expandable storage. All in the name of saving a few pennies and trying to be hipper and more Apple-esque.
