This is a list of the devices connected to the SPro via I2c:
Cypress cy8ctmg200 touch controller
Aptina mt9e013 8mp cmos sensor
Aptina mt9m114 1.3mp sensor
Summit Micro SMB137b battery charger controller
Texas Instruments TCA6507 i2c + smbus led driver
Atmel mxt224 touchscreen controller
Timpani codec(?)
Silicon Image SIL9244 MHL transmitter[!!]
Broadcom BCM4329 wireless A/B/G/N / BT controller
Most interesting part is the MHL controller, the SPro isnt advertised with having MHL support, but the controller definitely seems to be active on the SPro.
The prototype roms also include hdmi test apps.

Well.. I haven't this one untill now. But i want to know if there are any body has the same idea with me.
A simple cable adaptor will not work, because for that to work, Asus has to specially support outputting a compatible composite analogue signal through their HDMI connector, which I don't think they will. However, they have announced a standard VGA adaptor, with that you can connect an analog TV with a VGA input. If you have an even older TV, then you'll have to use a HDMI to RCA converter box like this.
Like above, you'll need an active digital to analog converter cable (it either is a box or requires some batteries with a bulky part in the middle), since the Transformer only outputs digital signal (speculated). With the VGA adapter becoming available, you can go VGA Adapter -> VGA to RCA and it should work (I'm assuming the VGA adapter will also output sound with RCA or 3.5mm jack)
there must be a build in analog signal within the HDMI output, because the adapter is only a cable. and i dont think there isnt any converter in the HDMI VGA cable.
i think these two will perfect match for our problem:
VGA to HDMI cable (offical Asus cable)

HDMI only has digital signals for both video and audio. You will require an active HDMI to Composite video box. Search Amazon for "HDMI to Composite video".... can't post links yet

Yes, a standard HDMI output is purely digital, but I think Transformer's HDMI output is designed to be reconfigured to output an analog VGA signal as well (a port is just a set of pins, you can output just about anything as long as the underlying hardware supports it; like some phones can output a HD video signal through a USB port etc.. ). I say this because photos of the announced mini HDMI to VGA adaptor is too small to be an active converter.
I have a hdmi to component and VGA converter at home,
So can test this for you tomorrow when I get home,
There isn't any reason why a adapter won't work,
To get a analogue signal then the VGA adapter for the transformer connects to the data port at the bottom,

Im buying new monitor, there are some models with MHL support, so what do i get with MHL? my question is how i will benefit from that? what is advantage of monitor with native MHL support?
Both monitors in my final choice have FullHD 1920*1080 resolution and HDMI ports.
LG IPS237L => MHL, HDMI, 1920*1080
http://www.lg.com/hk/it-product/monitor/LG-IPS237L.jsp
LG IPS236V => HDMI, 1920*1080
http://www.lg.com/hk/it-product/monitor/LG-IPS236V.jsp
There is no such thing as "MHL support" for a monitor. That is purely marketing stuff. Every monitor that has HDMI will work with MHL devices as long as the MHL device has the proper cable.
The devices that must be MHL-enabled are the source devices, the one generating the images, not the display.
If you have the adequate MHL adapter for your S III, any monitor or TV with HDMI inputs will work.
I have my S III work with several models of TVs, and none of them state they are "MHL-enabled": they just have HDMI ports.

I think the MHL-enabled monitor mean you don't need a MHL cable. However do note that SIII went out of the MHL specification with S3. Make sure that S3 is supported before your purchase one.Otherwise you will still need a S3/Note2 specific MHL cable.
i have already ordered MHL cable for my GS3, indeed cheep one from ebay but it should work fine.
i think that MHL support is option to charge your phone directly over HDMI=> mUSB cable, so there is no need for extra power. but think is new 11pin and changed specification of Galaxy S3, so i still need extra power connection
this MHL support is pure marketing, thanks for answers
I am looking in to getting an Android tablet that i will use to control cameras & Motion Control hardware for my timelapse Photography rig, in its current state the equipment uses an FTDI Chip USB to RS458 adaptor (Bluetooth & WiFi connectivity is in development at the moment).
At the moment there is a good deal on the Galaxy 2 10.1 16 Gb Wifi (GT-P5110) tablet in a store near me & i'm thinking of investing, i have done a bit of Google searching & found reports that these tablets are missing the code for all USB OTG applications but i have also heard reports that people have had various USB memory sticks working on them
Can anyone confirm if the Galaxy 2 10.1 16gb Wifi (GT-P5110) does actually support USB OTG and the FTDI Chip devices?
Tab 2 has Prolific 2303 support by default for Samsung keyboard dock I think but not for FTDI. We can build FTDI kernel driver from source as additional module. I experienced using Slick USB Serial on Android x86 before and work very well to access my serial modem. I also found http://android.serverbox.ch/?p=370, just for your reference
Ok so I've just received a cheap ebay usb otg cable and installed slick usb2 serial on my gt5110 and found that the ftdi usb to serial adapter seems to work as it should.
Weirdly thoughi have found that I am unable to connect to my canon eos50d despite other reports that it should work.
While looking to find a HDMI cable solution for my Moto Z, I came across a solution for the Galaxy S7.
- purchase this cable: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272686294141?clk_rvr_id=1297701036148&rmvSB=true
- enable USB debugging
- go to display in settings and set it to the highest resolution
- connect your phone to this cable using your original USB power cable
- Job done.... now you have a solution for connecting your Samsung Galaxy S7 to any TV via HDMI (works for the Moto Z as well using a usb C power cable)
Listing at ebay was already removed...

Any displaylink hardware could send the image to the HDMI o VGA port. I have the Targus Multi Display Adapter and I'm able to connect my S7 to a VGA port or HDMI Port without any problem. You can connect a USB keyboard and mouse too! You only need to install the diplaylink app for android
There are many hardware with this technology
Does the ethernet port work with the Targus and S7?
I looking for cable for Samsung S7 it's even possible?
MHL (the primary hdmi to usb micro protocol) does NOT work with S7 or S7 Edge as of at least Nougat. They lost MHL on the 7 line actually, S6 DID support it. Unless MHL support was added in Oreo, I am highly suspect of the claim that this cable "works". I have a rif6 cube projector and this is one of my few phones/tablets that I still can't use on the included MHL microusb-hdmi cable (which works with numerous other Android devices). DisplayLink may work but is an entirely different premise. DisplayLink uses proprietary protocol to send encoded video over usb or wifi. With the display link app installed, yes you may be able to wired/wirelessly output your display but this is similar to screen casting and encodes the video, not a raw hdmi out video cable. DisplayLink also assumes you actually have a DisplayLink capable display or device to cast to (which I sure don't haha)
Can anyone confirm this is still working on latest oreo firmware?
Also, allebay.amazon links are dead, what should we search for?
I am interested in getting one of these until Christmas!
I second that. Can anybody confirm any of these work?
Seems plausible
I cant be sure, but I'm pretty sure you need the microusb to OTG connector that came with the s7....it allows you to plug in standard USB devices such as flash drives, game controllers, etc. You then purchase a VGA displayLINK (not displayport) external USB graphics card....plug vga from USB graphics card to tv/monitor.
USB device handles graphics control..
App acts as linux/android driver so no need for MHL anything....android is an OS...
Sounds workable.....
worth a 30 - 40$ RETURNABLE purchase.....
Looking for VGA displayLINK external USB Graphics card
Would love to try the below suggested solution. I have the Micro-USB to USB OTG adapter that came with the Samsung S7. I've got VGA cables and a tv that will accept VGA. What I don't have is the USB to VGA adapter that is described below. Can you point me to where I can buy the correct item?
I see some USB to VGA adapters on Amazon, but not sure if they'll work with this set up. I'm new to this forum so I can't post links to outside sites, but just search Amazon for "USB to VGA Converter, USB 3.0/2.0 to VGA External Video Card Multi Screen Display Converter Support Resolution 1080p for Win 7/8/8.1/10 Desktop Laptop PC Monitor Projector HDTV [No Need CD Driver] " and you'll find what I'm talking about.
I thought displayLINK was way to wirless mirror my screen. That's not what I'm looking for. I can already do that with Chromecast, ClickShare, etc. I want to have a cabled connection to have in places where I don't have an internet connection at all. This is for business presentations, so I'm not concerned about lag for gaming, nor am I concerned with perfect resolution or even audio. I just want to display screen of my Samsung S7 on a larger display with a cabled connection that doesn't require internet.

Anybody got a recommended compatible wired gamepad?
I tried my usb (original, possibly not msoft) xbox controller through an adapter and it didn't register at all.
Think with a decent controller, this tablet and geforce now could be fantastic
