no this thing has no video output.
BUT i almost bet there is a physical output on the board but no hdmi has been soldered to it.
Hmm, oh well, thanks for the reply. I still plan on getting this even without video output but I was just curious. Some devices have video drivers that can connect to the mini USB on board, if I remember correctly. Thanks, when I get back home, I'll "thank" you.

But the Korean version 5.0 has video output, correct??
I heard there will be a new micro USB to HDMI cable release in later this year. But now still under development.
There may actually be composite TV out via the 3.5mm port. We haven't got anyone with the right cable to test though...

I've confirmed that there is no MHL (HDMI) support. Dunno about analog yet.

Has anyone tried to get a TV out going on the G-Tablet without having purchased the dock? We have a standard and mini-usb available, maybe it can be done?
electroniccrap.com has a dock connector to hdmi cable.
You can also get a cable from electronic crap which plugs in the proprietary plug and outputs HDMI. Just got mine and works like a charm.

I've tried connecting mine through both USB ports and it's a no go. When I put my TV into USB mode, it says "no device connected" My Digital cameras and video camera work fine, but not the G-Tab.

Does audio work through this cable?
hdmi out
can you post a link or name that cable so we can find it on electronic crap? That would be great-
Nevermind- found it!....LinkIt $29
Since it works like a charm I'm assuming audio works. Do you need to change any type of settings on the g-tab for the video out to work? Or do you pretty much just plug it in and you're good to go?

User Agapeman posted a video on his site using the cable - http://raywaldo.com/2011/06/gtab-does-hdmi/
Would this cable be able to output video from a PS3 or anything?
I ordered the MHL adaptor from T-Mobile's website yesterday, so I should get it today (yeah, I paid the extra $6 for overnight shipping).
Does this phone support FULL mirroring (i.e., when plugged in to TV, TV screen mirrors whatever is on the phone's screen)? I used the full HDMI app on my Evo 4G, and it was great for watching shows from HBO GO on my TV.
Has anyone tried it yet? If not, is there a review out there somewhere that specifically demonstrates this feature?
I guess I'll know tonight when I get home from work!
Thanks,
Rob
I haven't seen it specifically on this phone, but I've seen the Qualcomm MSM8660 demos showing full mirroring. We should be capable of it, but I haven't tried it out yet.
I'm surprised nobody's tried it yet!
Can you use the normal micro HDMI or do you have to buy the adapter to use HDMI? Lol kinda confused how this works with the new port? Could anyone explain? Thanks
You need to buy an adaptor. Basically, it's a dongle that plugs into the USB (charger) on the E3D. The dongle/adaptor has a HDMI port on it, along with a USB port. You plug an HDMI cable into the HDMI port, and into the TV. You plug a charger into the USB port and into the wall.
So no, the HDMI cable from the EVO 4G (I have one too) won't work.
Does that help?

Back to the issue at hand... does it do HDMI mirroring or not? I have this bad ass HDMI integration in my Prius that is preventing me from upgrading from the 4G until at least HDMI mirroring is confirmed.

According to this demo from CTIA it appears it can, but this is unfinished testing hardware/firmware so it's still not a confirmation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ynmqtopi9g
This doesn't exactly give you an answer with the level of certainty you are looking for but it's a good sign. We should see some end users with feedback on HDMI features on the production phone streaming in any time now that hopefully confirms that it can do this across any application without problems or limitations.

hey rtmeikle . I also got the mhl from tmobile. I hooked it up last night to sadly find out that hdmi mirroring is not supported at all. It was all a big hype it appears. Were you able to get it working? I'm hoping that you were so maybe its just my device....if not, then this phone is going back.
Yep, I got mine yesterday and tested it. It works fine.
You have to have the adaptor plugged in to the phone, a charger plugged to the adaptor, and the HDMI cable running from the phone to the TV.
I got full HDMI mirroring which automatically switched to landscape when I tested Netflix and HBO Go.

interesting. thanks for the quick respond. When i connect it to my hd tv all i get on the phone is a message that says *HDMI play a video or slideshow to display via hdmi* on the notifications bar. When I click that, nothing happens...

Strange. The image of my home screen just popped up on my TV; I didn't have to do anything.
I tested it on the TV in my bedroom, a 3-yr-old Samsung 42" Plasma, nothing fancy.
Maybe tonight I'll test it on my other two TVs and see if it works on all of them.
did you allow the latest OTA upgrade or did you cancel it? I allowed it as soon as I turned the phone on. I also tried it on my 58 samsung plasma hdtv. Its not that old but also not that new.
I'm going to try it tonight on my smaller 32 inch lcd hd tv to see if that makes a difference. It shouldn't though.
Not like it matters since all MHL cables are the same but here is the MHL adapter I'm using: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...4ec1-a08e-e133fa772d53&inCart=True&catCode=23

Yep, I've accepted the OTAs. And I'm using the exact same adaptor. Did you plug power into the adaptor too? I didnt' try without plugging it in, but I've heard that it needs to be plugged in to work.
Ok, i finaly got it to work. It wasn't a problem with the phone but a problem with the tv. I had to change some resolution settings on the tv and presto! Hdmi mirroring on its full glory
Now, do you know if I can pair up a bluetooth keyboard and mouse? Thats next for me.

This is what I am currently doing. I have hooked up the following.
Mouse: Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
Keyboard: Logitech MX5500 Keyboard
The keyboard works great. I can type in the applications and setup my keys in the emulators just fine (snesoid etc)
Mouse functionality though is different then you may expect. You don't get a mouse cursor, it just "highlights" selections then you "left click" to go forward. According to my research the right mouse button is supposed to "go back" but is not working for me.
I put up a thread asking others for help with it, so if I find an answer I will let you know.
Updating you on what I found out about the mouse.
"Well it looks like the fancy mouse support with a cursor and button functionality was something that was included in CyanogenMod 6.X then removed on CyanogenMod 7.
They then added a patch for version 7. But now apparently it is being included in his latest CyanogenMod.
Regardless, it appears you need root access "
wait so how do you charge your phone if you use that hdmi adapter? anyone have a link?

the adapter has a USB plug that you use to hook up to a charger, and will charge your phone. Newer TVs are coming that will support charging over HDMI via the MHL adapter, there may be some out but I think will be a standard in 2012 TVs.

Hallo, is there any way (custom rom/kernel)
to enable the analog video out from minijack?
maybe the drivers of GalaxyS ported to S2?
thank you
No, there is no video output from that port.
Just buy the hml adapter and HDMI cable. I bought both for $15 delivered off eBay.

? Why do you need MHL + analog adapter? Audio will go out through the MHL to whatever you connect via HDMI. If you're connecting to a monitor that doesn't have output speakers, I think you can plug audio (like headphones) directly into the earphone jack of the phone. You shouldn't need both.
My phone outputs audio just fine to my TV via the MHL adapter. I've tested playing FF3 via SNesoid, and FF7 via FPSe, with video/audio to my TV, using a PS3 controller.

Indeed. You will need what oinkylicious is saying - a Digital to Analog Converter, or DAC. HDMI is a digital signal. VGA/Composite is analog.
MHL, which is the standard used on the phone, is also a digital signal. The official MHL adapter from Samsung is built to go directly to HDMI - digital to digital.
thanks, probably I will just forget the tv-out
I'm not trying to presume, but how do you have a phone that costs at minimum $600, but DON'T have a TV that has an HDMI input? That boggles my mind.
I don't want the phone for my tv, I have the pc connected to it
I wanted the phone as a portable media player when I go to friends
as I did with iphone

How did it happen with an iPhone? You had to have cables/adapters for that, right? Or do your friends have the adapter?
Just about every TV made in the last 3 years or so has an HDMI input, so this issue is just confusing me now.

just a cable with 3 rca, 2 for stereo + 1 for composite video
of course SD quallity, but is ok for standard divx videos
If you connect the MHL cable to the device and the OTG cable to the MHL cable the device can't detect the OTG cable.
How can I make this work? I've seen videos in youtube that they connect their device to the TV at the same they have USB bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected.
Anyone tried using MHL cable and OTG cable at the same time?

According to some of wikipedia entries it should be possible to use mhl and usb otg at the same time with a 11-pin mhl-hdmi adapter.
Wikipedia said:
11-pin MHL-USB Connector
The Samsung Galaxy S III uses a connector that is similar to the original 5-pin MHL-USB connector, but it uses 11-pins in order to achieve a few functional improvements over the 5-pin design.
It supports the use of USB and MHL simultaneously (note that the new Samsung 11-pin MHL-HDMI adapter also has a USB-OTG port).
Samsung’s Galaxy S III can power the MHL-HDMI adapter. Although this can theoretically also be done with the standard 5-pin micro-USB connector, the Galaxy S III's 11-pin connector is believed to be the first smartphone that supports this functionality.

Here you go.
So, it should work. But I couldnt make it work at the moment
I also got one of these 11-pin connectors and like it seems only the S3 has these adapters, so why the **** doesnt it work?? :/
I already asked sammy on facebook, just wondering what they will answer^^
Hopefully we will have some pos. results, dude.
cheers

How would that work since the micro USB connection on the mhl cable is for power / charger?
In those YouTube videos is it possible that they have the mhl cable connected to the TV and power source, and the keyboard and mouse connected wirelessly via Bluetooth?
Confused because you said USB Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. From what I know they aren't USB.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Samsung should eventually release a dock to use both so unless someone figures it out first you'll just have to wait, because if it just took an 11 pin USB cable someone would have got it working already and we'd know about it, so I reckon it might have some extra circuitry to make it recognised by the phone.
Guys, as I already posted, the connector has 11 pins, so it should be possible to use OTG and MHL features at the same time. thats the only reason sammy brought out this connector and also cause of incompability with the 5-pin connector.
So they should bring the f*ck out somethin for the phone that activates this feature.
And a big problem I have with my mhl-connector is that I cant configure the output
on my 2 TVs at home I get 1080i, (both only 1080i capable), but the picture is kinda oversized so I cant see 100% percent of the picture, only 90% or smt like this.
But the funny part is, that I get on my 1680x1050p PC monitor only 576p screen, what actually sucks So it would be awesome if I could choose the resolution I want to have. But I guess its a thing of the connector (maybe it choose the resolutions iself).
cheers
so the one in the videos using keyboard and mouse are bluetooth thru phone?

To use the MHL cable you must have power connected to the adapter.

That's damn funny because I have wanted to know whether that would work as well, lol.
Did seriously consider trying but as I was on holiday if they broke, I wouldn't be able to get replacement so didn't try it.
In theory I would think it could work, but only if you could somehow wire in power to the hdmi adapter as it appears to need that to run the hdmi aswell as provide power to the phone, at least enough that once the usb adapter tries to demand power to run it isn't enough for the phone to output.
As to whether this is just a a stupid guess and assumption of how the devices and being a noob, I don't know.
If you can get a micro female to male adapter with a usb splitter for power then technically I can't see why it wouldn't work if the limitations are physical as oppose to software based (whole other issue I have no clue about).
EDIT: Wow, when I started that post no one had replied, err, seems a little redundant now, lol. My bad. Also, this 5 minute wait to point this out, have seemed really long...
guess we'll have to wait for that dock.

I would like to hook up my note 2 to my car stereo's video screen somehow. The stereo has RCA inputs on the back, so I bought an HDMI to RCA converter box as well as an allshare cast. I didn't even think about hdcp or anything like that, but when I try to plug the allshare into my converter box, the box doesn't receive a signal. I'm guessing this is because of HDCP. Is there any way I can get my Note 2 to output over RCA, even if it takes a series of cables/boxes? I'm guessing MHL won't work for the same reason
It would be easier to just take everything that's on there transferred to a USB dongle and plug the usb dongle into your stereo

Yeah, I was hoping to use it for navigation so I could see it on my stereo's screen instead of having to look at the phone but I'm coming to understand that this is more or less impossible
Do you want audio only or video also? EDITED: Just saw your post above.
There are a few converters that do HDMI/miniHDMI -> Composite w/HDCP but they are active adapters that you will need an inverter for either 5V or 9V to it and a few other misc adapters to make it work right. It would likely be cheaper and faster to just buy a suction cup mount for the Note II and a 3.5mm to RCA LEFT/RIGHT break out cable. lol
