Hi, can anyone tell me is there is something i have to do in order to connect my prime to my tv?.
I used to be able to do it with my xoom but for some reason i can't see anything with my prime.
Thanks in advance.
Nope. Just plug in your micro hdmi into the prime and the other end intothe tv. That all i needed to. It should be the same for you

that's weird, i can't see anything. another issue with this thing man.
What doyou mean you "cant see anything" are you sure the tv is set to hdmi. What does the prime say/do?

Hdmi is one feature that does work (just plug and play). If yours does not you may have a dud cable, dud hdmi port on he tv or the prime. My first bet is on user error (make sure you're on correct input, etc) and the second is on a dud cable.
i'm sorry, i just found out the cable is the problem, thanks for the replies guys.

Did you try reversing the plug in the AC socket? You can easily reverse polarity (not the greatest) with our plugs and that may be causing you issues.
I use mine plugged in often, without issue, but I always have it plugged in the right way ... which actually appears upside down to me!
Might be a bad power plug. I have only seen this on Android (Samsung Galaxy S) while using an under powered charger.

I have generally experienced the problems you are describing when I am using a power plug that is defective or poorly made.
Do you have access to another Transformer power plug that you could test the issue with? For instance if it works fine with another charger then you know the first one is bad.
So I plugged my note in to my Samsung plasma tv. I used the mhl adapter that came with my infuse which I used with my infuse and it worked all the time. But it is not working with the note. Am I missing a setting or something? I am rooted with da g OC kernel but I haven't seen anything in that thread about this. So anyone have the same issue or could help me out?
Will gladly hit the thanks button fer ya!

Did not work for me until I plugged in the power into MHL. Then everything worked but the quality on the big 42" screen was not that good.
I have not ordered one yet, but I've seen other Note users say this PNY cable works good. It's the one I intend to order soon.

Anyone know if our Notes output 720p or 1080p to the TV?

just need to plug the power into it too.
Thank you for responses but I did that as well. Just forgot to mention it. As far as I know mhl will never work without direct power supply. As I said this worked on my infuse and I have set it up the same way but no worky. Can anyone confirm they have it working?

The screen only supports slightly above 720p so I wouldn't count on it handling 1080 externally.

I think it will output 1080p video files just like Samsung's larger tablets and play them in true HD on a capable TV.
From what I've seen, MHL adapters are a bit of a crapshoot for the Note. I have one made by CableMatters that seems to work well, but sometimes it inexplicably doesn't.
I don't need it for YouTube or anything but I use my phone to dl californication from demonoid. Be nice and easy to just plug the note in and fly but what I've been doing is using es file exp to drop the video file on my network HDD and then stream from there to my ps3. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? (Besides paying for showtime of course...LOL)

I saw somewhere there was a process. I think it was to plug in the hdmi, plug in the power, then plug into device. I saw it worked for the poster but i may have the order off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I agree, try it using the following steps.. HDMI from TV into MHL Adapter / Power from Wall into MHL / MHL Adapter into phone. if you hear the beep that the phone is charging, does not mean it made a connection with the HDMI side. if you get it connected there will be a 2 / 3 second delay between the beep and you will see something on your TV, also I have USB debugging OFF, seems to work better with MHL.
Edit: With my Adapter, I do not have to reboot the phone with the adapter in for it to work, it will auto detect whenever I hotplug it. I do have to mess with the connector plugging into the phone, seems it can be plugged in / detect power, but not HDMI, (Wiggle it

On ethernet the stock browser has no lags...... I connected a Linksys USB200M v2 adapter....I am gettting full bars on WiFi from my NetGear WNDR4500 router and lags persist.....Hope this helps ASUS with this problem.
How does it compare to desktop browsing loading times
So far so good on the ethernet here.
Most people who have the problem probably wouldn't if they would just go into Settings>Advanced in the browser and change "Enable plug-ins" to On Demand .. this stops the flash windows from auto loading and lagging it out
Nicely implemented by Asus, using the USB Ethernet Adaptor that came with Asus Zenbook.

I am using that setting ever since I purchased device... still ethernet loads faster with no lags.... Have you tried on USB ethernet?
It hasn't lagged for me or given the wait window since someone recommended I do that on here so no actually don't need to.

It should work, but I would advice against using it because the network adaptor will increase the power drain quite a bit. Further more, the way it is connected to the prime makes it hard for the user to use the tablet properly without stressing the physical connection of the USB kit to the prime.

Search for the USB to Cat5 thread, there is a post about an adapter from monoprice that works fine and was very reasonable.

I bought a cheap one off ebay that was "compatible" with the Macbook Air for about a fiver and that is working fine.
Is there a way to run both cables? With a splitter of some sort maybe? I've searched amazon for a cable with no luck.
Anyone on XDA know of a way?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Nope, when I first got the phone when it came out in searched that answer out for months in hope. Finally I just bought a new controller which was why I wanted it. I lucked out and grabbed a ps3 controller from newegg new for 32.99. What exactly are you trying to setup? The one thing I can tell you won't work is trying to get say a keyboard hooked up otg and use the mhl adapter.

I was hoping to hook up MHL and run a mouse actually. So I can control netflix and maybe a few games using the mouse on my tv.

Try using a bluetooth mouse to do that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, a Bluetooth mouse a keyboard work for me when using MHL.
I would like to do MHL and USB OTG for playing a flash drive files on the TV, instead of copying it over. But, a microSD card solved some f that.
Bluetooth didn't even come to mind for some reason haha, awesome idea! Thanks guys!

I should mention for the storage bit that there are some apps that can mount samba (windows shared) folders and you can later access data using a media app and stream the data over the network.

Can't make it function
Hi guys I see that you are talking about MHL and OTG...and it seems you don't have probemlms with it on your i777.
On the contrary, I can't seem to make it work....When I plug a mouse, keybord or flash memory....NOTHING happens.
I already searched a lot....some people say it depends on the kernel (mine is Siyah 5.5.1)...some say it depends on the ROM (mine is AOKP 7.3)....I don't know which answer is correct......or maybe my OTG cable is faulty????.......
Please if you know something else that I can do to enable or anything....let me know!
Thanks in advance!
I believe you misunderstood, I explained you can use mhl and bluetooth mouse and or keyboard @ the same time. However that's not technically using MHL and otg cable.

hi, is there an update i have to perform to make the dongle work? i am on .21 and unlocked so cant update via asus.
is there anything obvious that happens when the dongle is plugged in, does it show as connected anywhere?

Update .21 is the latest update (although another is right around the corner) and the one you need. I don't have mine yet, so I'm not too sure, but as soon as you connect it and slide the locking mechanism over then it's connected. You have to turn your GPS on under your settings and it should be using the dongle. Have a walk outside, put it on and slide the lock, turn your GPS on and run GPS Test or something similar. Remove dongle and test again, you should see a huge decrease in performance if it performs without the dongle at all.
to be honest i have never seen any problem with the gps, i know its not really a great benchmark but seems just as good as my galaxy s.
i will run the tests with and without but didnt seem any quicker to lock when i popped outside a while ago. wasnt sure it was actually working which is why i posted this. wondered if it showed up anywhere similar to when the dock is in place.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
.22 is the latest update. It was forced so you wouldn't have seen it happen. Being rooted doesn't stop updates. I am rooted and it updated itself days ago. It contained the fixes for the dongle to work. For those who are unlocked, you have to wait for your ROM writer to add the code. Gary has said that ASUS are looking to release a version of NVFlash for those who are unlocked.

Really? I suppose you're one of the rare few who has relatively decent GPS reception somehow. Good for you lol, I hate you
I suppose the only way to really be sure is to disconnect the internal GPS from its antenna and then use the dongle. Surely there would be a way for the system to realize the dongle is inserted and to let the end-user know about it. I mean, they tell us to type words with the keyboard, I just can't believe they're not telling us we've plugged the dongle in. I wonder if some kind of Tasker profile couldn't differentiate between it and the dock, I doubt it?

Um, what? .22? What country and are you sure you don't mean .21? I keep my Prime's WiFi on 24/7 and my DMClient unfrozen, just manually checked and no update.
i am unlocked not rooted so i cant get anymore updates from asus. am on the latest .21 . updated before my prime was so kindly unlocked.

Any good?
Does the dongle make a marked difference in reception?
none at all as far as i can see.
could be
1. not working / user error
2. my prime gps was working ok to start with.
hoping there is someway to get feedback from the prime to let me know its using the dongle
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
I have the dongle
It definitely helps my gps but it dose look bad.
Maybe a company may start making skins for the dongle to make them more attractive and protected. Exposed dongles isn't good. It' not immuned to bumps and bruises.

My bad. Typo on my part. Of course it is .21!!
i think the dongle is well designed. locks in place and fairly discreet considering. could have been an ugly block like a usb stick or the camera add on thingy for the ipod.
i found it makes a nice handle when reading a book

I'll pull out my inner demandarin real quick to say do not apply direct pressure to the dongle - don't use it as an actual handle!
That being said, IMO it would be OK so long as you have larger hands and are pretty careful about it, just don't go trying to support your entire tablet with it. Don't support the tablet at all with it actually, seriously, going to feel terrible if you accidentally crack your screen lol
well didnt actually mean just the dongle. just adds a bit of a ridge to stop and slippage while holding
