Has anyone tried to get a TV out going on the G-Tablet without having purchased the dock? We have a standard and mini-usb available, maybe it can be done?
electroniccrap.com has a dock connector to hdmi cable.
You can also get a cable from electronic crap which plugs in the proprietary plug and outputs HDMI. Just got mine and works like a charm.

I've tried connecting mine through both USB ports and it's a no go. When I put my TV into USB mode, it says "no device connected" My Digital cameras and video camera work fine, but not the G-Tab.

Does audio work through this cable?
hdmi out
can you post a link or name that cable so we can find it on electronic crap? That would be great-
Nevermind- found it!....LinkIt $29
Since it works like a charm I'm assuming audio works. Do you need to change any type of settings on the g-tab for the video out to work? Or do you pretty much just plug it in and you're good to go?

User Agapeman posted a video on his site using the cable - http://raywaldo.com/2011/06/gtab-does-hdmi/
Would this cable be able to output video from a PS3 or anything?
Any way to use a mini (is it micro?) USB to HDMI cable or converter to share this player's screen to a tv?

no this thing has no video output.
BUT i almost bet there is a physical output on the board but no hdmi has been soldered to it.
Hmm, oh well, thanks for the reply. I still plan on getting this even without video output but I was just curious. Some devices have video drivers that can connect to the mini USB on board, if I remember correctly. Thanks, when I get back home, I'll "thank" you.

But the Korean version 5.0 has video output, correct??
I heard there will be a new micro USB to HDMI cable release in later this year. But now still under development.
There may actually be composite TV out via the 3.5mm port. We haven't got anyone with the right cable to test though...

I've confirmed that there is no MHL (HDMI) support. Dunno about analog yet.
I would like to hook up my note 2 to my car stereo's video screen somehow. The stereo has RCA inputs on the back, so I bought an HDMI to RCA converter box as well as an allshare cast. I didn't even think about hdcp or anything like that, but when I try to plug the allshare into my converter box, the box doesn't receive a signal. I'm guessing this is because of HDCP. Is there any way I can get my Note 2 to output over RCA, even if it takes a series of cables/boxes? I'm guessing MHL won't work for the same reason
It would be easier to just take everything that's on there transferred to a USB dongle and plug the usb dongle into your stereo

Yeah, I was hoping to use it for navigation so I could see it on my stereo's screen instead of having to look at the phone but I'm coming to understand that this is more or less impossible
Do you want audio only or video also? EDITED: Just saw your post above.
There are a few converters that do HDMI/miniHDMI -> Composite w/HDCP but they are active adapters that you will need an inverter for either 5V or 9V to it and a few other misc adapters to make it work right. It would likely be cheaper and faster to just buy a suction cup mount for the Note II and a 3.5mm to RCA LEFT/RIGHT break out cable. lol
I've never actually tried to use an MHL cable for my phones before, so I was wondering if this would be compatible for my N3: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ATDA8C8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1AMUYYA3CT6HJ
Doesn't list N3 as one of the compatible devices but I figured that the N3 was backwards compatible with a micro usb, it shouldn't be a problem.
Does anyone know? And do I just plug it in and I'm good to go?
I use one off eBay that cost £3 that I used for my HTC One but it has a power source as well

Hi Calvin,
This one can not compatible with Note 3 for the Micro USB port of is different from the Micro USB port of Note 2/S4/S4.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 comes with USB 3.0 port.
Yes it will work with the Note 3. As long as it's an 11 pin adapter it'll work. The difference lies between mhl 1.0 and mhl 2.0. Mhl 1.0 requires you being plugged into a power source, 2.0 doesn't. Having usb 3.0 on our phones makes no difference. It's no different than being able to use a standard micro usb to charge our phones.

my mhl 1 adapter not working
I have an MHL 1 adapter and it isn't working on my note 3. it is powered and I plug into my hdmi port on my monitor and nothing. I don't see a setting to enable so I suspect it supposed to happen automatically.
I bought this one.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1001326-REG/kanex_s3hdtv_mhl_2_0_to_hdtv.html
The plug fits both note 3 and note 8.0. I will test it later today.

Then it's MHL 2.0. Google it. You have to have a power source prior to.

How do I tell if it's an 11-pin? It doesn't say in the link.
Ideally, I'd like one that's compatible with GS3 and N2 because other people in my house own them.

Nope, not true. I have an old Samsung MHL 1.0 adapter that I use with the 5 to 11 pin adapter and the Note 3 powers it fine all on it's own. I also have the MHL 2.0 adapter from Samsung and that doesn't require the adapter but does NOT work if plugged into an AV Receiver (even when plugged into a dedicated MHL port). The MHL 1.0 adapter worked fine plugged into the AV Receiver but when I plug in the MHL 2.0 cable it pops up a message saying 'Plug HDMI cable directly into TV'. I even tried it with a Redmere (active) HDMI cable to see if that would fool it but it didn't.
It does work when plugged into the TV but I get no audio since the AV Receiver provides audio and the TV is HDMI 1.3 so no audio return.
On a side note the MHL connector (Yamaha RX-A1030) does not provide charging power (or any power at all) despite Yamaha's extensive marketing of the benefits of MHL (vs a plain old HDMI input). With an external power source connected to the MHL 2.0 cable I see 700mA charging current (vs 1200 if I plug the cable directly into the Note 3).

I stand corrected. I knew there was only a few phones capable without external power but haven't had a chance to test on the Note 3. I was under the impression from what I've read that it had to be mhl 2.0 adapter not just the phone. I have a HTC One and my trusty old 5 pin, I sold my 11 pin a long time ago with my S3. I'm waiting on my 11 pin mhl 2.0 to get here now.

Search for an 11 pin specifically or a 5 pin with 11 pin adapter. Here is a link to one on Amazon.

Look at the bottom (hook) side of the plug.
11 pin has a groove on the middle.

It's out of stock atm. I'm trying to look for one without a power source and is compatible with S3/N2, which I'm guessing should be all of them since they both use an 11-pin.

Yeah he's thinking that it has to be the same connector as the usb 3.0. It doesn't. Standard micro usb plugs up to our phones. We just don't get the benefits of 3.0 with them. The biggest factor in usb 3.0 is the data transfer rates and I'm guessing charging rate although I'm unsure about the charging thing.

I just realized it requires a power source, which I'm not interested in. Don't really want any more than one chord connecting directly to my TV if possible. There's a few adapters that are cheaper for around $10, so I'm trying to looking for one without a power source and is compatible with S3/N2 (which I'm guessing is all of them since they both use 11-pin). Is it unreasonable to get one for around $15-18?
This is what I searched: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p...l+hdmi&ie=UTF8&qid=1381784572&rnid=2470954011
Unless I missed something, they all seem to need a power source.
According to CraigAmey they will work without a power source but if you're questioning it look specifically for mhl 2.0 11 pin. I know for a fact mhl 2.0 adaptors don't require it. I'm working but when I get the chance I'll post the link for one I found earlier.

I did talk to Samsung advanced tech support about the MHL 2.0 adapter not working when plugged into a receiver. In short what he said was they never wanted it to work but the MHL 2.0 is the first one that can tell what it's plugged into, and therefore lock you out of using anything other than a TV or monitor. So all of those companies putting MHL inputs on their receivers (Yamaha, Pioneer) may as well not bother because Samsung are explicitly locking their latest devices to not support them.
Also while I've verified that the Note 3 can be used with either MHL 1.0 or 2.0 adapters without external power it does drain the battery pretty fast when you hook this up so if you're planning on watching a long movie you might want to connect power anyway. I haven't had a chance to test if any of the OTG peripherals work with the MHL 2.0 adapter yet either, that's next.

That's a good point. Thanks.
After looking through some more on Amazon, I'm thinking my original linked cable should work fine, but I'm not sure which one I should get: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters...id=1381792525&sr=1-4&keywords=galaxy+mhl+hdmi
I can't seem to tell the difference between the three options. Also, after searching for a few of these on amazon, I'm worried that it won't actually charge the phone while in use. I'm getting conflicting reports according to the reviews over whether or not it charges the phone. I want to use this occasionally, but mainly for my mother to watch some of the shows she has on her phone, so it's quite important that it charges.
All share cast dongle is the way to go.

Hi,
I am looking to buy a MHL adaptor for my GS3. But I want to display this on a TV with only RCA. If I brought a HDMI to RCA then plugged that into the MHL adaptor would I be able to show my phone screen on the TV?
Thanks in advance
i did this with vga. vga and rca are both analogue signals so you will need . in addition to an adaptor , a converter box to convert the signal from digtal to analogue. also sound will not travel at least not with vga. make sure to get adaptors and converters that have power supplies so your phone can charge while using external monitor. also dont go for the cheapest components they usually dont work or stop working after a very short time. good luck
Ahah thanks but thats quite alot to do then if I have to get a digital to analgue converter. Might not be worth it then :/ any more ideas
Just get an hdmi output it would be easier

his television only has rca.(analog} input .
At some point between phone mhl out and tv rca in.
The signal needs to be converted from digital to analog
there may be an all in one adaptor/converter somewhere. But the standard samsung mhl to hdmi adaptor will not work by itself as it does not convert but merely transfers the digital signal that the analog television can not display..

it really is not that expensive or difficult to do. I even use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard from my old motorola atrix.
Combined with the vga monitor. It is very much worth it. Its like having an additional desktop computer.
