Unusual HDMI port

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.

Here's the video I think.

He says all we need is :
Micro 5-Pin to 11-Pin Converter Adapter
USB 2.0 A female to Micro USB B female adapter
40.2 k resistor
No idea, how to get this 40.2 K Resistor.

Is anyone going to try this out?

I am. Have half the parts already and in the middle of my note II mobile office build. Was looking for something like this.
I'm curious if the resistor value is different per output or strictly used to tell the phone its on a smart dock? Then how best to handle multiple usb ports? On my setup power is railed and managed separately so just dealing with usb devices on the note at the same time would be the only unknown I am dealing with.
Edit:
Had another look. Looks like most of the voodoo is smartly placed on his proto board and an in line usb hub is doing the rest. Would be nice to have a map of the pinouts or spec via the i/o being used in the conversion. Should be difficult (famous last words).
EDIT:
After looking at the listed parts I realized there are some missing items to all of this....
First: the small red dongle that gets plugged in first is essentially a modified 11pin male to 11 pin female butt connection that has 2 pins wired from it and shunted to the usb port he has tapped to a pice of cardboard. I would guess somewhere in there a resister is placed for the usb i/o. That supposed to be a 11 pin to 5 pin conversion?
Second: everything past that little dongle is all plug and play. The hdmi adaptor and in line usb hub are separate components and are decided by the dongle.
So with a few dollars for the connectors a, substrate, some shrink wrap and solder we should have the magic dongle that makes it all happen.
This is all guessing based on what I can see on the video. Ordering what I need on ebay and going to give it a go. If success then I'll report with a how to. If someone beats me to it.... You suck lol. The challenge has been made so let's do this.

Well the Note II is a powerhouse. I want a true 11 pin connection from the Note II to the hub. Its perfectly doable but it looks like I may have to hack up a 11pin to HDMI dongle for the parts. Playtime will ensue as soon as parts arrive.

A data sheet that identifies each pin in the 11 pin connection for the note 2

Download the electroDroid app from Google play. It has the pinouts for 11pin micro usb.
I hope this is what you mean.
sorry those are for USB 3.0
i found this in another thread;
Hopefully this may be of some help, I have also been trying to make one of these for the last few weeks.
So far, from purchasing this MHL - hdmi adapter, I have managed to map most of the pins, but am having difficulties getting USB OTG to work.
Charge, HDMI, and PC data connection work, but i still need to find the USB OTG pins for "smart dock" mode.
I assumed that this would work for USB OTG but it doesn't seem to work for me, it acts as USB Slave not Host (I.e. Connection to PC not HDD/Keyboard)
so far the pins i have identified:
(normal usb part)
Pin 1 - Vcc
Pin 2 - USB - (Slave)
Pin 3 - USB + (Slave)
Pin 4 - Sense (40.2K Ohm)
Pin 5 - Gnd
(extended USB Part)
Pin 6 - ? (Audio/USB host?)
Pin 7 - ? (Audio/USB host?)
Pin 8 - DP (MHL +)
Pin 9 - DN (MHL -)
Pin 10 - MHL ID (connected to ID Pin of MHL Adapter)
Pin 11 - Gnd
I will try and upload some images tomorrow, and a diagram of the plug.

Seems pin 4 and 5 would be used for resistance checking
40.2k for smart dock
365k for desktop dock
619k for car dock
Would be kinda cool and geeky just to throw a toggle and bam car dock or smart dock.
Edit: Just thinking. I wonder if the pin # 10 has to be in play with MHL mode and the 40.2k resistor on 4 and 5 to throw it in to smart dock. Hrmmm mm

Mine work without any connection with pin 10. So most likely it is nt used to understand any mode. But Samsung might set something with those pin in smart dock. If anyone dare to explore smart dock, then we can know about that

Just waiting on the last few parts. The plan is to reproduce your mod. Then experiment with the other resistor values and post results. Hate waiting lol

Seems no matter how much I checked I still got a 5pin converted to HDMI and not a 11pin to HDMI. Waiting on second order Bleh.

[Q] HDMI port issue

Hi team,
I just bought an HDMI cable to connect by phone to the TV. The problem is that the cable just wont fit in to Note1. However, it works perfectly fine with Note 2.
I can use the same charger to charge my Note 1 and Note 2. But the HDMI cable port just wont fit inside Note 1 as if its not meant for it. I tried to push it but it refuses to connect.
AFAIK, HDMI cables are universal and can be used on any phones which supports this feature. I may be wrong.
Any ideas what is causing this issue?

Don't know how it looks on Note 2, but all Note 1 has is USB port into which fits only USB.
Sending screen to other devices is done with MHL converter, which has USB plug which goes to Note, USB port for external power and HDMI port for connecting to TV. I'm sure more info can be found in accessories forum.
PS. I have a vague feeling that questions should generally be posted in Q&A forum...

The man is bang on, there's no hdmi port on any phone AFAIK... Mhl ports vary pins on generation of phone, so the note2 matches the s3 and I think the s2 matches the note, but it usually states on the product page which models they fit.

Hi there, It looks like a Y shaped cable. One end goes into the phone (charger port) and on the other side, there are 2 wires (ports), one goes into the HDMI port on the TV and the other goes into the USB port on the TV. The USB port does the job of charging the phone simultaneously while the HDMI does the job of extending the screen from phone to TV. There is no MHL adapter. The cable does all the job.
On the package, it says for Galaxy S3 so I guess it will work only with S3 and Note 2. I need to buy one more which is compatible with S2 and Note1.
My only question is that since the charging port on Note1 and Note2 is similar, how come there is still a compatibility issue with Note1? I was under the impression that the cable/port would be standard for these Samsung android phones and if it fits into Note2, then why note on Note1?

That's called an mhl adapter. The port in the phone is micro usb, so the signal is converted to hdmi.

List of alternate usb chargers

Hi all,
I thought I'd share what I've found working as a USB charger for the Nook HD+.
1) USB 3.0 ports on a computer (slower charge at 900mA)
2) Powered USB 3.0 hub (slower charge at 900mA)
3) Philips SPS8038B Relocatable Power Tap (http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Office-Desktop-Charging-Station/dp/B00865TV2Y)
4) SPRINT CTC-2USB-5V2A car/home charger (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA20211P5919)
Please add if you have any other USB chargers that work!

Lenovo Miix 2 8 charger. Lenovo P/N 36200540, Model AD897F23 provides 5.2V/2.0A

Any USB charger with short-circuited D+/D- pins should work (standard now, except for Apple and maybe a few others). That's how the Nook HD+ recognizes a dedicated charger vs. a USB data connection. Only if the data pins are shorted will it go into fast charge mode (up to 2000 mA), otherwise it'll limit its current intake to 500 mA.

Found that the SIIg usb 2 amp charger won't work or get recognized by the Nook HD+; it's marketed as for the crapple's ipod/ipad. A signal of incompatibility is if it says for Apple products.

I had a Nook Color charger left after I moved up to an HD+ (a friend gave it to me with no charger), works great!

Charger for Samsung galaxy tab 3 t217a does work perfectly
And any lg charger (5.1V) works as well

The EasyAcc 5 port chargers work as well. The different ports each have different labels and specs. The 2x iPad and 1x iPhone ports won't charge the Nook HD. The Samsung Tab port charges the Nook HD at full speed (I have the 7 inch Nook HD). edit: I think the Android labelled port might charge full speed as well.

How to (maybe) get it cheaper: EasyAcc has a UK/Europe ebay store. On ebay UK I put in a bid at about 80% of the normal retail price. I didn't win but when the auction ended EasyAcc contacted me (I think they contacted the five highest bidders who didn't win) and offered me the product at the price I bid.

Reason for Note 9 slow file transfer speed

Hello,
When doing file transfer from/to note 9 512gb using the stock usb-c cable i am getting usb2 speed of 20/30MBs. Also, the connected device list on my windows 10 laptop reports "galaxy note 9 could be faster if connected to usb 3". Well i tested it on multiple computers for sure having usb 3 ports and the result remains the same.
can people share what speeds are they getting and what does the device list on their computer show note 9 to be (usb 3 or usb 2).
Please share any fix to solve this.
thanks.

Sounds like your Note 9 is not performing as it should be, i’m getting mega fast transfer speeds, for example 19.7 gig file size, it will take around 2 mins to transfer if i got multiple files and folders..
Let’s say around 25 ish gig it will take around 7/8 ish mins
I’m on windows 10 64-bit, have you got smart switch installed on your laptop/desktop ? And have you got the Samsung USB driver installed ? install smart switch as it will install the correct driver for you!

I didn't think the standard USB cable, that came with the phone, is USB 3.0/3.1, only USB 2.

Maybe time to change the cable... the original ones of every model used even for charging don't last to long. Try another one to see if that's the problem.

Are you sure?
Because the NOTE8, Galaxy S8/S9 series all came with USB 2.0 cables.
And I can't see anything in the doc's that came with the phone, that it has a USB 3.0/3.1 cable, even though the phone itself supports USB 3.1 Gen 1.

Dude that would be so dumb if Samsung gave us an USB-2.0 cable with a USB 3 compliant phone! it's an USB 3.0 Cable that ships with the Note 9 (im guessing) and I’m sure i was getting the same speeds on the S8+ Mega fast transfers, i was useing the standard cable that came with the S8+!
is there anyway to check ?
i'll make a short video of my transfer speeds!

Searching for info.
Samsung does not state what USB standard the cable is.
But the lack of blue trim on the USB-A plug would suggest it's not a USB 3.0/3.1 cable.
The reason I suggested the NOTE9 supplied cable might only be USB 2.0, was for the above reason.
But also due to a thread I saw here on XDA (S9 or S9+) where it was noted that they came with a USB 2.0 cable, despite the phone supporting USB 3.1 Gen 1
And the supplied cable is definately anorexic
---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------
Whilst I still haven't found anything directly from Samsung, about the supplied cable with the Note9,
I did check the 15W travel charger kits, and they are using the exact same cable/plug as those that come with the phone.
And they DO state it's a USB 2.0 cable.

My S9+ and my friend's S8+ both came with USB 2.0 cables. I'm not sure about the Note 9 but I can ask my friend who has one. I don't see why they'd suddenly start shipping USB 3.0 cables for similarly specced devices.

I can also confirm that my note9 512gb came with USB2.0 type C cable.
How do i know this? because I have an original USB3.0 type C from my Axon 7 which I compared to with the cable provided with the note9.
If you inspect closely inside the USB-A plug, 2.0 only has 4 pins. While 3.0 has an additional 5 pins aside from the standard 4 pins.

Is there a 3.0 cable available
I have also had a frustrating time uploading photos from my S9 Note to PC. Assuming the main issue is the 2.0 cable; does Samsung offer a faster cable?

ive used a thunderbolt cable and transfering from and to internal storage is quite fast. do t use the charging cable supplied and try and get a hight quality cable.

Bro. I can assure you that Note 9 comes with Type c to USB 2.0 data cable. It has only 4 wire inside to transfer data and charge phone. Also if you look at the USB side you can clearly see it has only 4 pin it to connect with your USB port.
Purchase a new type c to USB 3.1 data cable and see the difference your self. Also make your your desktop / laptop has ssd for better data transfer speed.

Dude that would be so dumb if Samsung gave us an USB-2.0 cable with a USB 3 compliant phone! it's an USB 3.0 Cable that ships with the Note 9 (im guessing) and I’m sure i was getting the same speeds on the S8+ Mega fast transfers, i was useing the standard cable that came with the S8+!
is there anyway to check ?
i'll make a short video of my transfer speeds!

LOL, you mean like Samsung providing a 25watt charger for the Note 10+ while it supports 45 watt charging?
Companies do this all the time, it saves them $$ to get you to buy another cable/charger ect...
Seriously, the manufacturers aren't out to help you, only their bottom line...

Just got my Note 10 + 5G today! Wow it's a beast only just got round to setting it up screen is gorgeous, Dude don’t Super Fast Charging damage the battery in the long run ? i have turned off fast charging i use a extra long usb cable like 3 meters long.. Then i plug in my USB C cable to charge my Note 9 take around 6/7+ hours to charge up the phone to 80/90% phone stays super cool.
I will be doing the same for Note 10 + super slow charge.. What’s the rush that you need your battery topped up so fast ? With power banks available you can charge on the move man!
if you’re looking to upgrade every 1/2 years yeah leave on fast charge but i still am using my Tab S 8.4 LTE as a daily driver had over 4300+ chargers dischargers just mange to get a new battery out of a broken Tab S 8.4 LTE so I’m getting good hard usage hours out of it again please note it's coming up to 4 or 5 years old
Also i'm planning to keep the Note 10 + for at least 4 years so fast charge i rather not use it.. Plus Samsung are assholes they will not sell you the battery..
But yeah i totally get where you coming from they all are copying ipoop so no true USB 3.0 cables or super fast chargers not bundled in with a £1100 phone witch is a joke!

It would be nice if there was some clarity on what cable to buy for fastest charging and data transfer.
The Note 9 USB cable is listed with a top speed transfer speed off 480 Mb/Sec. And a samsung tech rep told me it uses a USB 3.0 standard.
