I know Samsung sells that 40$ adapter for HDMI out. Is there a cheap alternative? I know they sell the mhl adapters for like $3 on eBay but from what I've read saint changed the pin layout in the gs3

They did change the pin out. What boggles me is no one has come up with an adaptor. Does any one know what the new pin out is vs the old one?

I believe its 11 pin on then new and 5 on the old.

This is extremely annoying to me (especially when I watch my Sons RAZR MAXX do HDMI out with no adaptor required).
I can verify that my older MHL adaptors definitely DO NOT work.
I bought the new one because I use HDMI everyday & it works very well, but there will certainly be cheaper ones coming out.
Since you have one, how many pins does it have ? Can you provide a picture of the pins?
Thanks

You can use this with older MHL adapters: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EPL-FU10BEGSTA

I bought one of the new Samsung S-III MHL adapters, and can confirm it works. My old MHL adapter doesn't work on the S-III (but does on the S-II)
I thought that MHL specified the USB side of the connector, so either the old phones are MHL compliant, or the new ones are. How can there be 2 different connector standards for MHL?! Great standard guys - You just killed it because normal consumers won't understand why this MHL device doesn't work, and others do.

According to http://www.mhlconsortium.org/about/FAQs.aspx the MHL standard is SUPPOSED to be 5-pin to HDMI. If I'm not mistaken, the switch to 11-pin micro USB was necessary for USB on the go, which cannot be supported with just 5-pin micro USB so I guess its worth it. I don't have any existing MHL cables so it doesn't really bother me that much.

Hi ive just had a look on ebay and the MHL cables are going for 30-40 quid? Is there not somewhere else that does them cheaper?
I think its a bit retarded anyways not havin one in the box but thats another story, but having to pay an extra 40 quid to use a function on ur phone.
Sorry for my rant im just surprised they so expensive.

because this is not just wires in cable.
It has chip inside for signal conversion.

Dunno if it'll work with our phones but what the heck it's 5.00 and you get a pack of 3.
If it does work- awesome, I just got 3 cables for 5 bucks and I can watch stuff on my TV
If it doesn't...I lost 5 bucks, big whoop.

Nice deal but yeah you still need an MHL adapter to plug it into our phones.
Yup, got to have a mhl adaptor for tv-out. You use a regular hdmi cable with it

This is a good deal though. I think the one I bought for my EVO 4G was around $4.50 on monoprice. I bought the 3 pack of mini HDMI for my Asus Transformer because this deal is either or. Too bad they didn't let you mix and match!

yeah ill tell ya man, thats the only gripe I got with this phone, and its really not even that big of a deal LOL. But i got about a dozen USB Cables from my EVO 3D and now there useless. But i was just gonna order a new Car Charger from the Verizon Site, but im hoping that its got the right connector on it. Its not showing that its made specific for the Rezound. Its saying its compatible with most devices...whata ya gonna do?...it is what it is!!!
All my old android chargers work with my rezound. My droid x charger. My wife's incredible 2 charger and my car charge I had with my thunderbolt.

Any microusb charger will work. In fact the chargers for your evo 3d are the same as the one for the rezound try flipping it upside down, it is that way with the incredible. I am currently charging my rezound with a years old blackberry charger.
the answer to your question is no. They are not the same.
the one that came with my rezound was an MHL plug.
the good news is that a regular micro usb will fit in there, you just have to make sure you put it in the right.

Actually I appreciate the port change. The one it comes with is locked in place. And any micro USB will fit just make sure u flip it so the clips r on top
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I prefer the MHL port as well, nice and sturdy. But yeah, and micro USB is compatible with our port.
I like trolling my friends when their battery is low with the new cable. They used to mooch off of my charger, but it won't work with their phones anymore lol. I'll be the one bumming the charger off of them when my phone gets low if I don't have mine... Although they might just deny me the cord for previously trolling them lol.

Alright folks, i bought my Note last Saturday after breaking my Atrix screen the 2nd time. (fixed it myself and then broke it a week later again and then broke the USB when it broke the 2nd time.) Anyway, i am loving my Note and was due for an upgrade anyway. I haven't had to deal with MHL Adapters before, my Atrix had an actual mini HDMI out. Are there any that are better than others or brands that i need to stay away from?

Samsung sells an official 11pin one for $40 and they also sell an adapter for $10 so you can use your old mhl cable and it will work and be cheaper.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I contacted Monoprice, and they're also working on one. The old one is $10 so the new one should be from $10-15 hopefully.
Unfortunately there's only currently two options:
1. Suck it up and purchase the OFFICIAL Samsung branded adapter (at least $40)
2. Purchase/Use previous gen adapter (5-pin) and purchase a 5 to 11 pin adapter (at least $10)
I think I'll hold out for whatever monoprice's offering will be.
