How to make Gear VR 2015 compatible with S10 ? - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

hi,
with the S7 I received a *free* Gear VR at that time, the white version SM-R322 (2015)
The adapter is still Micro-USB so apart from the size of the S10 and different USB-C, can I get it to work together ?
There are no plans for bringing out a new Gear VR apparantly.
Thanks

I am interested as well

You need the 2017 Gear VR as it has interchangeable USB plugs. 2015 version has fixed micro USB plug and not adaptable to USB-C.

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.

Damm I had ordered some OEM Samsung one from China http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-i9300-i9308-Galaxy-S3-S-III-MHL-Micro-USB-11P-HDMI-HDTV-Adapter-/111001759182?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D5763556128870212755%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D111001759182%26 which is going for $10.99
If I had seen that Monoprice one I would of gone for that instead since I can just do local pickup from that place Hopefully this one I ordered isn't a generic knock off

What adapter for MHL / HDMI?

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.

Tab S2 and MHL cable - doesn't work?

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.
