In preparation for getting my Verizon Galaxy S3, I have went through all the features I need for a phone, and realized that the most important one features is not documented anywhere. MobileFun's "Mobile Fun Connection Kit," has connects via MicroUSB and uses USB on the go to process attached USB devices on the USB port. Is it possible to use the MicroUSB in the adapter with Samsungs official MHL adapter, or Adapter Tip (Meaning I plugin the the Connection Kit via microUSB, then attach a device(Keyboard, mouse, etc.) via USB port, then use the connectors microUSB port to attach the MHL adapter, transmit the video signal to the TV, and then use the MHL's microUSB adapter to power the device)to the Connector. If not, (Do to bandwidth issues, or generally insanity of the question), are their any alternative implantation's I can use? Are their any other on-the-go adapter with MHL and a USB port?

Specifically, MHL through USB on-the-go, or the galaxy S3's proprietary MHL implantation prevents it from working?

I just found a MHL cable for the SGS2 on Amazon with Micro-USB to HDMI.
I have a Samsung HDTV bought about a year ago. Now i know that MHL means you can charge as well as view the phone stuff on the screen but MHL TVs have not released yet (i think, and even if they have i wont be getting one anytime soon).
So my question is can i still see the TV out if i use the MHL cable on my older TV? I know it definitely wont charge.
Anyone?? :S
yes you can.
all you need is the adapter from MHL (micro-USB) to HDMI, connect the HDMI to the TV and you are good to go.
the advantage of the original samsung adapter is the ability to connect a power cable to the adaptor and charge the phone while it transmits the picture to the TV.
hope i helped
Thanks mate
For anyone confused, an MHL cable is a Micro USB to HDMI cable - no ifs, no buts, this will transmit HDMI from a compatible MHL port. Nothing else needed (except I believe it must also be connected to power)
Your micro USB port on the bottom of your SGS2 is an MHL/USB port, and will therefore work.
Important to note is that not all micro USB ports are also MHL ports, therefore will not necessarily work on some other micro USB port on a different phone.
Hi together,
ive asked me if it is possible to use an adapter for 1x micro usb (plug) -> 2x micro usb (jack).
Could the phone handle 2 USB devices at the same time?
Maybe then it is possible to use the HDMI output and the USB host parallel?
For example to use an TV as screen and an HDD as the source for a movie.
This would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

When the connector is used for HDMI I doubt it can be used as USB at the same time, I'n sorry.
Maybe in a few months cyanogenmod provides a hack, if there will be an dual adapter soon.
We will see. Thank you.

The hardware needs to allow this if it'd become possible. You need a really smart USB dongle that knows how to split the HDMI output from the USB output.
Sounds a little too difficult to ever happen.
Hmm thats right. I think i still dream xD
But thank you.

it is not possible. because as stated on this forum many times before, the type of usb connection is determined by the resistor between pin 4 and 5 of the micro usb connector. the strength can tell the phone, that there is either a charger, a pc connection, car kit, jig, usb otg or mhl connection present.
and i believe, this is an important thing to keep in mind for so many things:
for instance, why the original car kit triggers car mode and generic car charging cables don't or why not just any micro usb male to usb a female will work as a otg cable or why flashing should be done with the original usb cable...
so if you were to buy or build a micro usb hub, since it has no resistor in the very plug that connects to the phone, it cannot be used for anything but charging and quite frankly, i wouldn't connect more than one charger to the phone.
however, if you want to use your phone for presentations or watching movies and still be able to use it, get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse or a bluetooth presenter or do it the other way around and use a usb input device and transfer your media using allshare. everything else is physically impossible, so neither CM nor XDA can do anything about it. the only device that can do what you want is the new motorola. it has a separate micro usb and micro hdmi port and a docking station, so you can use it as a full notebook.
Thats obvious. Thank you.

I want to have S2 with usb keyboard, mouse, (probably a pendrive/hdd also), and a hdmi screen connected while charging the battery. My question is, what cables/adapter and usb hubs would I need to achieve the desired configuration?
As far as I know, what you want isn't possible. The MHL/HDMI and USB are mutually exclusive -- they share a connector, and when the MHL/HDMI adapter is plugged in, the connector switches into MHL mode, and the USB data pins are re-purposed.
you can't, maybe a bluetooth mouse/keyboard will solve part of the problem. And maybe you can use a powered hub to use them together, but not with HDMI
The phone differentiate MHL, USB,USB jig, and charging mode (AC vs dc) via resistance between two of the connector pins on the cable. So one mode at a time.

I bought a micro USB (M) to USB (F) adapter so I could plug in my XBOX PC wireless game receiver into my LTEVO, which is intended to allow me to use my Xbox 360 wireless controller with my phone. However, the wireless receiver will not power up when I plug it into my phone. It works when I plug it into my PC, so I know the receiver is not the issue.
Is there a setting that I need change on my phone in order for the receiver to get power? Or do I need a different adapter in order for this to work? I've seen them work on the Youtube videos, so I know this is possible. I appreciate your assistance!
I don't think the microusb port supplies power to external devices??? Or if it does it may not provide enough to power the adapter. I believe that is why if you buy the MHL adapter for HDMI it only works if you plug your charger into it to supply power.

Valid point, however, check out all these Youtube videos showing the adapter/receiver working without external power:

I think for that to work the device needs to have USB-host capability (and have that capability enabled.) I don't know if the LTEVO has this, but I kinda suspect that it doesn't.
Hi,
Has anyone managed to successfully find a solution to give an hdmi out display from the note pro 12.2, at the same time as a usb port via otg cable.
What I essentially want to do is to have the note pro at my desk connected via hdmi to a monitor, and still be able to use usb devices such as pen drives etc. Is there any kind of cable combination that will allow for this? I've not been able to find anything.
Thanks
Duncan
I have these:
Usb 3.0 Hub:

Usb OTG (with connection for external charger, a must have if you're gonna power devices via USB)

USB A to microUSB adapter, this one is for the HDMI cable:

You should try all-share-cast or screen cast(via miracast/chromecast) for video and audio. That would do everything easier.
