mhl to tv? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

does the Samsung galaxy s2 mhl lead work on the s3? I was told that it doesn't but not sure. any one any thoughts?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA

Doesn't work. There is a new cable for the s3 though.

As per the above post, doesn't work (Samsung will sell you adapter to make the old one work though, no idea when those will be available though).
Friendly reminder to search the forums too, you could have found this information very easily.

Maybe this would be a cool thing to port...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038840
See here. EVO as your desktop. EVO and Thunderbolt are pretty similar right? So maybe we could port this. The only thing is the HDMI. We will need a way to get around that. So my question is, could we port this?
I don't see how this is possible without some kind of video output from the device. The only other alternative is VNC to the device (which defeats the entire purpose of this).
Droid vnc server is a nifty app. Id think id like it

I thought the micro-usb slot was an MHL slot, which means we just need a cable that is MHL compatible.
Other than that, I don't know why not. It would give a dev something to do
Let me throw one word out here for you guys to converse about.

No, in all seriousness, if the micro-usb is actually MHL compliant, then nothing would have to change in the set-up instructions..

I was thinking the same. That's not it's intentions, but I've seen some of these developers do more amazing things than make that work
If anyone wants to attempt this I'll gladly beta test.
The OP in the EVO forums said if there were enough interest he would assist on porting it over.
"I will be handling port requests through my website. If there is enough demand and the device can support it, I will work with developers to get this ported to your device. Start a thread in your respective device's forum to see if there is enough demand and refer them to this thread and the website for details.
To make things easier you device needs the following:
The ability to run a CyanogenMod 7 ROM
High resolution video out (HDMI preferred for ease of porting) Lokifish Marz"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038840
1) So the questions are is there enough support!?
2) Is our device similar enough to do this?
Put me down for this!!!

That would be fantastic. I could go to customers houses and do their contracts right infront of them instead of @ the office.
This would be cool, maybe even a good reason to get the HTC dock when it comes out. If we can get a HDMI hook up working I would give this a try even with out the dock.

I use DLNA for my photos and video on my LED TV. Trying to figure out how to get my home screen on there...
Side note, does or will the TB have the hdmi "support" the Evo does?

Never mind... Just realized we don't have the HDMI port. Lame. DLNA it is...

There's a adapter for HDMI for our phone
But I believe the reason why they left it out is because of Bluetooth 3.0 and the ability to stream HD movies through it

I'd be willing to thow some cash in for development... If it is indeed possible!

ThunderBolt has the same MHL jack as the EVO 3D/Sensation, but it requires the software to use it, we may get that support in the Gingerbread update.
The only reason its not one of the specs or a known feature is because of this missing software support.
When the ThunderBolt was initially leaked on the Verizon site before launch, the developer site leaked all the details about what accessories it would support and an "HDMI adapter" was listed, and that said adapter is the microUSB to HDMI cable, which will also charge the phone via HDMI.
Now you know why HTC didn't have a native HDMI port, because its actually the USB jack
This would be fantastic, I wish someone would work on it but I am not sure if it is possible.

[Q] Apt-X on Galaxy S II?

Does anyone know if our Bluetooth 3.0 supports the Apt-X codec? I am trying to track it down, and can't seem to find anything stating wether it does or doesn't. The closes thing I can find is that the new HS3000 Bluetooth Headset which was brought out around the time of the GSII and marketed as one of the "Accessories" for the GSII supports Apt-x. If it doesn't support Apt-X how hard would it be to add it?
I should clarify Apt-X is an audio codec that allows Bluetooth Audio to sound much higher quality, CD-Audio Quality.
Up. Really interested to hear anything about this compatibility or possible port too.
Atp-x seems great on paper, would like to check this out IRL now !
Up.
Also extremely interesting in knowing this ..
Apple made MacOS compatible so that it works with every laptop...
So it sure is software =)
Up ! Just got myself an apt-x receiver, so if anyone has any advice to use it without buying a +50$ usb key, please let me know !
(well I won't switch to HTC either, before you ask)

Feel free to expand so we can know.
You mean which receiver ? If so, the samsung one (HS3000).
Perfect for my use (connected to the amp)
Is there a way to tell if SGS2 running stock ICS 4.0.3 is playing bluetooth using the APT-X codec? Is it shown somewhere under Settings?
Unless you already ported the apt-x codec to your device, it's not, since it's not compatible.
For information Apt-X is natively supported on the Samsung Galaxy S III
Unfortunately, the Galaxy SII doesnt support Apt-x:

True! I have asked a question about ten times on the same subject but never got my answer. My question was for developers about adding Onskreen Cornerstone but never got one response. I also had a question the other day about adding support for an app called 2nd core to the Gingerbread kernel but never got a response. I see a lot of "Know It Alls" in our forums for the Note. Everyone starts complaining when people ask questions instead of answering. The worst is when people keep tellin others they are asking questions in the wrong place but still offer no help to people. Trust me there are lots of smartasses over here that know nothing at all but think they know everything, it cracks me up. The crazy part is they make threads about showing screenshots of your homescreen lol and quadrant scores lollol and get a lot of post about this meaningless **** but can't or won't answer a question. I could car less how peoples phone looks and I hope they realize how corny they are for wanting everyone to see their homescreen LOLOLOLOL. One day I made a post about a Note clone and because I told people to google "Note clone" they got mad as hell. Like its hard to search. They were mad that I didn't post links to pics and videos. It turns people off from contributing when people are dicks. One monkey ruines the show for everyone. I have also seen threads where people would respond to a question but the only thing they would talk about was the typo the OP made like they don't ****up too. IDIOTS! By the way I don't have mhl but maybe you could ask a friend that has a known working HDMI cable to let you barrow it and try it for an hour and if it messes ip then its probably the MHL adapter.
what rom are you running? I used my adapter that came with my infuse when i first got my note and was still running stock with no issues at all. Video was perfect and sound as well. This was running on a 56in hdtv.
i have not tested the adapter with any other roms that i can remember, it has been a while since i have needed it. Try a different hdmi cable as you said it may be your problem.

Your last link - the response - goes to a bad link (or no longer existing - or removed - content). I have no experience with Dex. What problems is knox causing you? Lastly, I cast all the time and it works fine (did you install Google Home to have better control over your Chromecast devices)?

I get your frustration. But they are not going to give a (dignified) response using insults like "I spit on your family". Come on mate, you sound like a bloody Daesh member saying stuff like that.
I bought this:
HDMI USB adapter and Dex works out of the box. No root, standard.
Please try to speak to folk right. Be the bigger man.

Unfortunately Samsung chose Big Corp over End Users. I don't expect them to change anything, because their decisions are based on profit and pleasing Verizon and AT&T, not you and I.
Well guess what? Verizon doesn't use a Note 8... I do. Samsung wants to stay relevant ? Then how about pleasing the CUSTOMERS. We shouldn't have to spend 6 months trying to gain control of our devices... control should be ours by default. I for one will not have another Samsung. One Plus uses the same processors, doesn't make Development an uphill battle, and is all in all a better customer experience.
Had I wanted to be nice and kind I would have. Instead, I want other people on the Samsung Forums to read the frustration in my words and think to themselves "Hey, this guy is right! When did Samsung stop doing what is best for their customers? Screw them!"
Perhaps some will, perhaps some won't. Either way, other Samsung customers and employees can now see how angry these things make people (even if people is just me, they have to assume I'm not the only one who feels the way I do)
When I went to bed 36 people had read my post. By next week... hundreds. And some of them may agree. If enough people show Samsung that we aren't happy with their choices, maybe change will occur.
If not, then I wasted 10 minutes of my life bringing a smile to my face... time well spent
LOL.
I have no words.
out of the hundreds that read your posts, how big a percentage do you think took you serious?
I'm guessing 0,1 or lower
I know we can all get angry and frustrated.... BUT.....
