Anybody have one that works well? I have been looking for one online that i can hook a usb thumb drive to for file transfer, and hooking a usb hub for a mouse and keyboard. Does this tab even have usb host capabilities? Which ones are compatible with our device?

I am using the Samsung USB adapter with a belkin 4 port mini hub. I have connected a keyboard, mouse and 16GB flash drive simutaneously, it all works great.
Seen them for sale at Best Buy the other day. Need to pick me one up.
Are they self powered or what? If I hook my 1TB hd to it, will it work? (that's not powered off an ac adapter)
Just got this one. Hopefully it works well.

I have the USB one in your Amazon link. I can play a movie, and open files from a thumb drive. Once plugged in, it opens like it's a folder on the drive.
I also bought another one from Amazon that has a short piece of flexible cable, so that I don't have the huge hemorage hanging from the side. It works too, but the connector cover came off the connector, so I glued it. It was less than $10, but I don't have a link right now for it.
I can also confirm (though probably not a surprise) that a USB HD does not work. The message says "High powered USB device" and won't connect. So you'd need a powered hub for that.
I bought such a cable off ebay for 7 dollars shipped
Works exactly as expected.

Just bought a galaxy tab 2.
I am very new to this tablet, its my first android tab.
Well i want to use it as usb host primary for usb 3g stick for gprs/ 3g, will this accesory work or what else more i need for this stick to work. ?
Looking at getting a GT-P3113 this weekend and need to have the USB connection to external HD as well but do not see the needed 30 pin connector in photos of the tab online to make the Samsung USB connection kit to work.
Does the GT-P3113 at Best Buy/Staples have this connection setting.
Thanks!
Just got mine today. USB thumb drive works, and files are readable. My iMac mouse and keyboard don't work. I believe I need to get a AC adapter for my USB hub and then route them through that. As stated earlier in the thread I believe high powered devices need to be plugged into a usb hub that is connected to a power source, before plugging it into the adapter. This is an Android OS issue I believe.
3G / Gprs data stick?

Bought one today. Some things work.
Working so far:
Digital camera, It works well. As soon as I plugged it in gallery opened and it allowed me to import all of the images off the camera to my tab.
USB wireless keyboard. Works pretty good. Just a generic keyboard.
USB 2GB memory stick (Sandisk Cruzer) I used Chainfire's stickmount for this.
USB wired mouse. (Older Logitech optical) Freaking this is cool as hell!
USB wireless mouse (Logitech MX Revolution)
Not working:
Toshiba USB 1TB hard drive (non self powered) without luck.
I really want to get the hard drive working so I can watch movies on my tab. I have a couple things I'm gonna try.
One I got: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+USB+Connector/2837365.p?id=1218363393359&skuId=2837365
Keep in mind that I'm running AOPK 37 and the dist's v2 kernel ( link )

I picked up the set from Amazon. Should arrive on Tuesday. I have a self powered Toshiba portable drive I hope to use with it. Works fine with my Asus Prime so hoping it works with the Galaxy 7" Tab 2 as well.

As others have said, what is a 3G dongle?
As far as OTG cables, I got this combo (along with a few other cables from that seller). The OTG cable works fine, as do the rest of the cables I got. The fit is a little bit more snug then the cable that came with my tablet, but everything works great and the quality is very good as well for eBay cables from China.

MHL is not compatible with HDMI. Unless you have one of the 3 TVs on the market with built-in MHL, you need the box. blame Apple.

There is no such thing AFAIK.
All microUSB ports require MHL adapter for HDMI.
I'd be happy to learn that I am wrong on this issue.
I just got my MHL adapter from monoprice.com in the mail today and I have to say this setup is pretty nice. They have the adapter for $10 and you can also get the external battery that I have pictured here for another $13. It goes nicely with the adapter since it does need to be powered and of course is a nice extra micro usb charger to have when away from home.

The external battery is nice. I did plug it into my View to make sure it would work and it does, but I have yet to actually try to transfer all of the battery life over to the View. Given it is 2800 mAh it should charge the View to about 70% power. The main reason I got it was just so when you hook up the MHL adapter I wouldn't have to have another wire running out of it for a charger and I can also use it with my battery sucking 4g Droid Charge. I will say I watched 3movies yesterday before it died so it will power the MHL for around 5-6 hours.
I've got this one when it was selling for $13.75. Now he raised the price to$19.

It works, but WARNING:
it is listed as compatible for View. However, View power adapter doesn't fit. I had to buy a car adapter for View (well, I wanted it anyway), then use AC/DC converter and standard microUSB to USB cord.
I purchased the HTC M500 MHL HDMI ADAPTER today and it comes with 3 plugs. One for power and the second for the HDMI cable. The third is round like an ear phone plug but not marked. Anyone know what it is
Does anyone know of a compatible Micro USB AC power adapter to use with an MHL/HDMI adapter? I don't have any Micro USB power adapters around and need to order one. Does the voltage/current output matter for this?
hi,
i need a cable that outputs rca (red, white, yellow) to connect to the screen in my car.

Any USB power adapter will work . 5V @ 500ma minimum which is most.
You can power it from your PC with a micro USB cable also.

It has both HDMI out and analog audio, that is the small round jack, for headphones or devices that do not have an HDMI audio channel
I got this one from Amazon:

I figured I would just plug the USB power source into the TV for a source.
It is lame that this thing needs separate power....

not possible (without a lot of equiomnt)
RCA = analog
HDMI = digital
so you would have to use a converter

MHL was designed as a alternative to HDMI and USB. There are actually two TVs on the market that can take a direct MHL cable. LOL
The one I got works fine. Here is an HDMI to RCA converter:

is there a trick to make hdmi work. I have bought 2 adapters and both don't work. 1 was listed in this thread as working. Plug in to tv and nothing. Even when playing a video, nothing.
There are lots of USB ethernet adapters around, Just wanted to share my experience .
First i bought this , Which is not working with Prime . Prime is not even recognizing this one.

Belkin makes really TopNotch products. This is a good find, thanks for this. I was looking for one.
Hi, I ordered this and it arrived today and works great. Picks it up straight away as an ethernet port. Got 40 mbs. I am in the uk.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0015TC0D0
Thanks a lot for this first hand experience guys - I buy my stuff from Amazon either in the UK or the USA and live on the other side of the world so I need to make sure that the stuff I purchase actually works as returns are not an option!
I have tried two devices, and both work well:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00484IEJS/
and
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10311&cs_id=1031102&p_id=6150&seq=1&format=2
Because the Monoprice device doesn't have any cable, I recommend getting a short USB extension cable to use with it. The device plugs into the keyboard dock and the Cat 5 cable, which is thick, cumbersome and a bit unforgiving, plugs into the other end and creates unwanted tension. I got a 1.5 foot USB extension cable for less than $1:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030304&p_id=8604&seq=1&format=2
Both of these devices work well with the Transformer Prime.
The Belkin one looks by far the nicest, I have always found them to make quality products too.
Amazon.com sell it for $5 cheaper and will ship to the UK (and i presume Europe too): http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F4U047-RS-Ethernet-Adapter-100MBPS/dp/B005UUY24A
Thanks. Ordered my Belkin adapter today.

If not, would you mind posting your results using the same connection you have setup in your video?

I also have a mhl adapter from pny but I did not connect power to the adapter and the external display worked. Was your display on the phone and tv laggy or smooth after you connected the adapter? Were your videos in sync with the image produced on the phone itself?
MHL adapter kit
The MHL adapter for HTC DNA from iBOLT features a 2 meter (6ft) extension cable so you can stand in front of the TV and play Angry Bird, racing or whatever other games you prefer. With licensed MHL technology it is a real 30 frames per second so there's no delay and the sound quality is great when playing even advanced games. My kids love MHL, they only want to watch Netflix kids programs now without painful commercial interruptions.
The only thing to be aware of with Android MHL is that some sites block the HDMI port out. Two examples are Hulu+ and HBO (they don't block it from iOS). Most others, like Netflix and almost all web streaming sites works perfect. Google Play has an amazing picture quality on the newer videos when you rent them, absolutely clear 1080p resolution if you have enough WiFi bandwidth. The best use of MHL is to show photos and videos though on the big screen TV. The quality with good adapter is near perfect and the phone is charging while you are doing it too.
The "cyber Monday" price for an iBOLT complete MHL adapter kit with 6ft HDMI cable and the required 1 amp microUSB wall charger is only $24.95. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll check back daily here. Here's a YouTube video showing the technology and the kit I was referring to. The Samsung OEM has a very good reputation if you don't like this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmaKIJ90Xz4&feature=plcp
The image and everything was in sync... Sounds were good I watched a little but of transformers... The picture looked like crap but that is because it's compressed over Google play... You tube looked great
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
I bought one and it works well, but the framerate seems a little slower. It is usable, but certain apps seem to not allow being shown via the HDMI such as NFL Mobile and Hulu Plus.
The Samsung adapter for GSIII works on the DNA.
I have experienced issues with hardware accelerated subtitles using the MHL cable. Viki shows video but no words and that is kind of useless for me. Fortunately downloaded subtitles play in MXplayer with the software subtitle option.

I think I know the answer to this question but I will ask anyway...lol
Is there any MHL to HDMI adapter cables that do NOT need an external power source for the adapter? Seems kinda crappy to have to plug power into the adapter,
If so, a link to one would be greatly appreciated
Just put my order in to upgrade from my Thunderbolt to the DNA. Figure I will want to get a wireless charging pad, the MHL to HDMI adapter, and a micro USB to USB to mount external storgae.
As an aside...I cannot believe no company has actually created a micro USB to Micro SD adpater cable! I saw some links to threads here where people actually built their own...pretty cool...but hard to believe no company has stepped up for this. With the form factor fo phones moving more towards the DNA, One X, etc, I would think those would sell like hotckaes!
While browsing this thread I came to wonder about the DNA's mirroring. So when the right cable is connected, mirroring becomes available? Makes me wonder if a cable exists that might be micros USB on one side and (don't laugh) RCA on the other. My car's head unit had an add-on that allows RCA video inputs to display on the nav screen. It worked back when I used an iPad occassionally.

Using an OTG adapter and the USB dongle for connecting a wireless Xbox 360 controller to a PC, people have been able to use the wireless xbox controller with most Android 4.0+ devices.
Just wondering if it works for our DNA before I go out and purchase one since the PS3 controller doesn't work.

Seems like HTC has given our OTG limited functionality. Until now I've never had a device where I couldn't just plug in my XBox controller and go. And yes, if OTG is working as intended you can use the wireless dongle and a wireless controller. I may start swapping some libs to see if I can get this **** working as it should.
Please keep us posted

What's weird is the vendor files for xbox and other controllers are on the device, it just doesn't work. Hoping it's a bug and will be fixed in the next update.

So I did some research and apparently the only problem is getting the DNA to supply power to the device. Supposedly the USB OTG is not handicapped in any other way besides it not providing power. If you supply your own power to the device (via a Y cable or powered hub) then it should work fine. Getting power to the device via the DNA would be a kernel thing I'll ask dsb if he's seen anything that may help us.
First off, can anyone with a powered hub test it out to make sure everything works as it should so we can move forward?

It will power usb sticks just fine as they don't require much power. For devices that draw more power (USB hard drives, XBox controllers, etc.) it stops supplying power and gives you an "unable to charge device" error.
Also, mine mounts just fine without any app. It mounts under /storage/usb/ and there is a symlink to /mnt/usb/.
I tried the whole ps3 controller thing....doest work. I did however have a usb otg adapter and an old usb gravis gamepad (ps3) style and it worked flawlessly. I know best buy sells a logitech version of what i have for $24.99. As for the mount i used a coat hanger that i re-bent with some gaphers tape. Now vice city plays awsome!!!! Ymmv... Cheers gentlemen!!!

Bought the $25 controller from Best Buy. No luck with it. Powered USB hub should show up tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how that goes.

I have a Usb hub and otg cable hooked up and my phone powered a Microsoft sidewinder x4 keyboard and g9x mouse at the same time just fine.
Yup, it's def not got anything to do with power not being supplied. OTG cable plugged into a powered usb hub makes no difference for the PS3 controller. I was however able to get the device to semi recognize the wired xbox controller. When I booted up Shadowgun with the xbox controller hooked to the powered usb hub, it gave me the option to set up a gamepad, which only happens when you have one plugged in. I wasn't able to set any of they keys with it, though. So not really functioning. I'm guessing something to do with the Kernel versus anything hardware related.
Already in contact with HTC regarding this issue. We'll see what they're willing to do about it.

Any news? Still can't get wired 360 to work
Has anyone gotten their M8 to connect to a TV or monitor using a mhl adapter or cable? Ive tried two so far and have gotten little success. If so what are you using? do i need to find a certain brand of cable or adapter to mirror my One M8 on my TV screen?
the two I used were an auvio mhl adapter which i got to work mabey 10% of the time with a ton of unplugging and reconecting cables, I returned that one for a radioshack mhl to hdmi cable which i couldnt get to mirror at all but when plugged into the phone it allowed the phone to go into landscape but no video

I can confirm that the Samsung one works perfectly fine. I think I bought it for the galaxy S3. Here is a pic.

I've had decent luck with the 'Rocketfish' MHL adapters that are available at BestBuy. I'll have it work fine for a while and then all of a sudden I'll loose video but keep audio. I've since ordered a MHL adapter of Monoprice that had good reviews. I'll update if I get anywhere.

Samsung S3 uses a 12 pin connection (I also bought it) and that's not the one, from looking at the photo. Are you sure that's not the adapter from the S2 or something?
I still haven't found any info regarding if the HTC One m8 uses mhl 2.0 or 1.0
Any news regarding this matter?

it might be an S2, that is why I post a pic with the model number so people can search by it.
If you have an AV receiver that supports MHL, the best thing to use is a passive MHL cable. Fortunately my Onkyo TX-NR5010 supports MHL & it works perfectly using this Pipeline passive MHL cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EZ2KL76/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have never lost video or audio with it. *Please Note: If you do NOT have a receiver or a TV that supports MHL natively, then this will not work for you. It is a PASSIVE cable that transmits the raw MHL signal to the receiver or TV for native processing/decoding. If you DO have a TV or receiver that supports MHL though, then this is the way to go. Those little adapters will never match the reliability & quality of native decoding via an AVR or high-end TV.
I am also having trouble getting mhl adapter to work with my HTC One_M8. Tried two different ones already. The mhl symbol appears on the phone but no image on the TV. Anyone has any tips? I'm getting desperate
Thanks
MHL Works on HTC One (M8)
I bought 2 cheap cords on Amazon which took about 2 weeks to get to me because they came from China. In the beginning the order I plugged in the cords mattered. However, now I just plug them in, in any order and they work just fine. I am sorry you paid top dollar at radio shack for the cord. I almost did too. Here is a link to the one I bought. I was thinking about buying a few more to give to friends. I paid $3.78 with shipping each. Now they are even cheaper. They only utilize MHL 1.0 technology and our phone has 3.0 technology. Here is the link to the one I am currently using on a daily basis to watch movies I have downloaded in HD on my TV from my phone.
New user, so it won't let me post the link but add (amazon dot com forward slash) to the following : eForCity®-Compatible-Micro-HDMI-Adapter/dp/B00827EGG2/ref=pd_rhf_se_s_qp_10_0FRY?ie=UTF8&refRID=05W5ENJ6B2ZNZ2A6AR2Y
This is exactly the same one I found knocking around my house. Same serial number and everything it didn't work at first but after a few tries different hdmi ports and a cleaning of the ports got the adapter working. Took a bit of time to get connected but stuck with it and now I can view my phone on my TV to the post above showing the Samsung adapter

Our phone dosent use mhl 3.0. It uses 1.0
And I quit trying to make it work, after 4 different adapters, 2 HDMI cables and 2 TVs I just gave up
A Generic MHL HDMI adapter will work.

I've been using a general MHL adapter that came with the 5 to11 pin Galaxy add-on (which I don't use of course for my HTC). This has worked flawlessly for me no problem for years now. Make sure you have a good power source, the only problems I have had is my phone will say "slow charging", and the Media Device output will not work. Mine is pretty old, over a year & a half I've been using it, so I'm looking for a new one. They have one with a remote which is what led me to the review on here (a diff thread). However, they have the same one I have on Amazon or Walmart for a few bucks, you shouldn't have a problem. I'll add the links below...

Also, I'm on this thread beaise I plan to unlock & root my phone and am concerned that once I do that an adapter will no longer work Any suggestions or experience with this would be appreciated? Thx:fingers-crossed:
M8 mhl cable
I have the m8. I bought a Skiva mhl cable from Amazon. I believe it's hd-x2 cable. Works flawlessly only problem ive encountered is it will not play in 5.1 surround. It only transmits a 2.0 audio feed. Which I don't understand. If I use like all cast to cast the stream to my Xbox it transmits in 5.1. So if anyone knows how to get the cable to do 5.1 let me know.
