Hello all I just had a quick question concerning the ics roms. Do you they have usb host functionality because I am about to buy a micro to female usb adapter and wanted to know if this would work? Im pretty sure it is going to work but i am unsure

I have OTG USB host cable for Motorola Xomm. Is there any way this coulb be used with Atrix??
Don't take my answer as 100 percent. I want to say no dice on the usb host deal, but the hd dock and lapdock have usb ports for key/mouse. I think somebody mounted an external hdd but had problems. Hopefully somebody else can shed more light on this.
I voided my warranty.
It'll need a 5vdc power supply

Yeah there is a post on this already but the answer is that you just need a powered USB hub and that cable and you can use it as a host.

I know nothing about Samsung, but my Atrix works fine as USB host. All you need is powered USB hub and cheap OTG adapter. I bought one from Dealextreme (sorry, can't post links). It works great with any USB keyboard or mouse or FAT formated memory drive.

Just as the post says how does it work, I have the feature on my Rom and I went to Best Buy and bought their $50 dollar cable but I got nothing on my TV's. I think I got audio once but no picture so other than plugging the cable into the phone and into the tv and turning it to the right input what else us there because I did all of that?

Tv out
Ya you do need to connect the wall charger, but for some reason does anyone know why it doesn't actually charge my phone? While using it my power drains very slowly.
The mhl adapter and phone is being charged at the same time. It's a weak charge to begin with when you aren't displaying anything. Just have to deal with it.

I knew this was going to happen, I am not talking about mhl's, I know how that works. I'm talking about the function where you can use the headphone port to use a RCA type cable to play or send images and or videos to your tv.
Does any one know how this function works?

I'm pretty sure that even though the ROM you're on may support it that this phone isn't capable of it. I've never heard of anyone getting that to work. Let us know if you do figure it out though. I just don't think that the headphone jack can output video. It only does audio. I believe its a hardware limitation.

Olympus trinity 3D beatless has it and I asked how it works but have not gotten an answer.

You know that some roms are ported from other phones. Some settings will make its way over. There might be a setting for this, but from what I have been told is that the hardware will never support it.

This. What i do also is turn my screen brightness all the way down and it helps greatly to last longer while doing hdmi stuff

EVO 3D does not do this. Some put it into ROMs and said it worked, but no one has actually done it. This is hardware limitation. Anyway, use MHL it'll do HD and Dolby.
hi the first think sorry for my english
i saw in ebay .. the micro usb converter to hdmi its work for samsug galaxy s2 ... htc evo 3d... htc sensation ... its a small converter from the micro usb to hdmi .... i payed one in ebay ... and im waiting for that ... if that work i will write again here

micro usb to hdmi
Evo 3d uses mhl. I didnt think hdmi would work...

All the micro usb to HDMI i saw after a quick search were indeed MHL adapters. If you get a MHL, one end is male micro usb plug and the other is male HDMI plug.
Hey guys I bought the authentic Samsung MHL (HDMI) adapter for my phone and when I plug it in nothing happens. When I connect it to the tv, nothing. I am on Unnamed 2.1
Any suggestions on settings or apps or is it the rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Do you have a power cable connected to the adapter? It requires a power source to work.
Sent from Tapatalk using my Samsung GT-I9100
Let us know. I bought a menotek and it wont hold a connection. I had to get up 2x each movie just to push on the cable. I need to know if the Samsung does the same. If so, this whole feature is worthless.
Check the other thread on here started by bw31 something i wrote a lot on this subject. I'm running unnamed 2.2.1 works perfectly

You're not an idiot, you just didn't read the directions. I would have done the same thing if I hadn't already read through these threads, considering I never read the directions.
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.

gr8... actually i have one but my OTG is not working so hoping cable is faulty...
BTW I am on EU leak currently..
I'm wondering too. Don't have a cable yet, but no sense in buying one if it doesn't work.
It won't work only with OTG cable.
You need a HUB (generic USB 2.0 hub) plus a cable between the OTG and HUB that powers both the HUB and the Phone externally.

Maybe this thread helps you more as it is the original one specific to OTG cabling on GB which should work also on ICS (It would be nice if anyone could confirm this).

On the 1st post find direct link to the findings.
Have a look around or ask something if you need.
I received my OTG cable today. As has been stated previously, it works but only when run through a powered hub.

Yes, it seems that this is the only way to do it.
