The HTC micro usb cable is quite a bit longer than the one I got from Samsung so i'm planning on using that one instead of the samsung one. Of course with the correct adapter from Samsung!
Any reason that should cause problems?

It should be absolutely fine as it is either the adapter or phone itself that controls the current.

I have such cable and it doesn't work too well. It disconnects itself quickly and doesn't charge properly. But danger: no. Try it and if it works it's ok.

It should just work fine and relatively safe. However, I bought some cheap cables on eBay and it can't charge at all!! Transfering of data is no problem but charging is a problem. I dont know why but I assume its just some poor quality cables.

There wont be any problem.. i have been using my old htc cable too cos its longer..lol... on both my note and s3.. so no problems at all.

I tried a cheap USB cable that works fine as a data cable and can handle 2.0 speeds but used on S3 and after 8 hours only gave around a 30% charge because looks like the cheap cable must not have been able to handle the 1000mah current.
I use my old HTC cable and adapter to charge my sgs3 works fine. Got a cheap extended cable to use with my original Samsung desktop dock, but that takes ages to charge my phone.

Just wondering if all MHL adapters are the same. Meaning, can I use a generic non-HTC adapter on my Rezound?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
I believe so. Someone posted that a monoprice one worked on his GSII. I know that is a different phone but it is likely that HTC hasn't blocked generic ones if samsung didn't.

The monoprice adapter works for my Rezound.
Thx for the help, just order a 10$ mhl adapter. After this bad boy set me back 600$ i'm trying to squeeze all the accessories I can outta this weeks paycheck.
I'll let you guys know how it goes when I get it.
The thunderbolt/EVO 3D htc mhl adapter works.
How can I control my phone with out touching it?

The Monoprice MHL adapter works like a charm. You can't use your HTC cable in the adapter though. So pick up a long enough 5 pin micro usb cable( I am using a 6' wish I would have bought bigger) and long enough HDMI cable for your set up so you don't have to stand next to your TV operate the phone and watch it on the TV.
to further add to the question, if you're going through the MHL->HDMI to your telie, will it also keep your phone charged?
Yes you plug the adapter to the phone and the wall

Yeah its a lot going on for our phone to display on a TV. My wife's Bionic has hdmi out, that is so easy! Just bought a hdmi to micro hdmi cable from monoprice for 3 bucks for my wife's phone. The Rezound looks like a octopus just to display to the TV!
Where u guys getting the monoprice MHL? Amazon? I haven't connected any phone to my tv since my original EVO days. Would love to do it with this one. Thanks fellas

No, the video parts of the NFL app will not work. I have tried it and when you try to access video content, the screen you are connected to view blank.
Thats weird. I thought u can view anything that's on your phone... Even the home screen!? Is there anything else that doesn't work through the mhl?

I recieved mine from Monoprice, works great. But it HAS to be connected to power (charger or USB both work) to function, not just if you want the phone to charge while using the adapter.
What I did was use a short HDMI cable, short micro USB cable plugged into one of my TVs USB ports for power, and then mounted the adapter to the back of my TV with velco. I then use a micro usb extension cable to connect the adapter to my phone, cutting down a TON on the octopus effect. And I can always disconnect the adapter to take it with me somewhere.
Is this the adapter everyone is buying, its $14 not $10 so want to make sure I'm not missing anothr one on their site. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&seq=1&format=2

1. What do you mean by you "cannot use the phone"?
2. Are you using the original Samsung charger?
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
I cannot unlock my phone (sliding to unlock has no effect) while it's charging.
I don't use the original samsung charger

Then use the original Samsung charger.
Other chargers gives higher charging current thereby making the touchscreen unusable while charging

Its because the non-oem cable or wall plug. Get a different cable and try again. If it works, it was infect the cable. If not then plug it into ur PC/laptop with the new wire, if it works properly it was the wall plug.
Highly recommend getting a OEM or descent charger.

No offense BTW, I don't mean that as an insult in any way just saying. And knowing exact problem never hurts. So instead of original $15 Samsung charger maybe he/she can get away with A $3 cable.

I'm looking to buy a longer charging/USB cable that has the same connector as the stock one that came with the phone. I have a ton of those micro usb wires, but these have a tendency to easily disconnect. I have a USB extention cable, but that limits the charging to less than 400mah or less.

I got mine on amazon for a couple bucks each. Try searching "htc oem cable." Mine are white from another htc model but perfect in all ways.
I would pick a couple of these up. They are a hell of a deal. Very thick, about 4ft long, and data exchange work perfectly. Charges my phone quickly too. Hard to believe they were only $1, and He's a US Seller so you will get them quick.

That is not an OEM cable, it is MicroUSB. They work, but the are not OEM.
Is this the white one you are taking about?

The cable for the Amaze has a 12pt micro USB end. It's the same cable needed for the HTC Flyer. Compared to other micro USB cables that are only 8pt. This one fits more securely.

I'm glad I read this thread. I'm using my EVO charging cables and they work but are very slow.
If charging current is low check the ground connection between both end , it may be disconnected . I bought couple of cable from ebay all same problem later make one and i happy with that charging current now 800 plus .
on ebay.

You need the mhl adapter. I picked one up off Amazon for 8

Make sure you get an adaptor that is for either a Note 2 or a Galaxy S3, the older adaptors that look identical will not work with either of these phones.
I had an adaptor for my Rezound that looks exactly the same plug wise etc but it won't work for the newer Samsung phones.

This is correct. Samsung went with an 11 pin micro USB-HDMI MHL for the Galaxy SIII and the Galaxy Note II. This allows for simultaneous HDMI out and usage of OTG input. Unfortunately the official Samsung MHL adapter doesn't even have the OTG port lol meaning the improvement going to 11 pin gives, they don't even give to you.
Oh well, still highly recommend going with an official cable. I don't trust the 3rd party products as I always had problems with them, especially when it came to MHL.

I agree with that 100%
I can confirm what you are saying here. I have been unable to use my OTG and HDMI out at the same time. I'm guessing your option is to get the smart dock if you need to use them both simultaneously. I have not found a MHL adapter with the proper passthrough or vice versa with the OTG (even tried the "with usb power" variant)

Generic. The samsung cable is unstable, therefore often charges too slow due to usb charger stability detection.

No brand. Generic. Bought a couple from a Market stall.
Multiple cables .
original cable use if Odin problems is old advice .

Well, I guess, those extra pins won't make a difference, coz the slot in ur S3 may have the same no of contact points as there are pins in original S3 cable..!
I use a cheap no brand one when I'm at work and the Samsung cable at home. No differences at all.
