Hi guys,
I have an OTG cable which is great as I'm using it with my External HDD but I want to use it to print photos off of my phone. I have seen the PrinterShare app, however the app costs too much at nearly £8!
So, can anyone recommend an app or way of doing this for free please? (My printer isn't a Samsung)
Also, is there anywhere I can go to read about what the OTG can actually be used for? (I know there are YouTube video, however I want to read at my leasure)
Any help is greatly appreciated :thumbup:

You can afford an OTG cable but not PrinterShare?

That's what I'm saying yeah, considering the cable cost me 30p its a bit of a difference. I'm just wanting a free option as I had with my iPhone 4......

I like hacking and cutting and fixing and things like that so I was wondering is it anywhere remotely possible to make a home made tv out cable for cheap that works with either the headphone jack or usb port (to charge at the same time or not) the tmobile vibrant? If It makes a difference I use cm7 and stock respectively. Right now I am using stock for its camera app but id really like to use my phone with the tv but I dont trust buying things online and I cant find any in stores. Again any and all help is welcomed and greatly appreciated. I hope this is possible

Coming from my Photon I really like having the mini hdmi port to hook up to my TV to stream movies at friends houses and what not.
Does anybody know if the note has an adapter and the capability to do this?

If you have an hml adapter like the one that comes with the infuse then Yes!

If you can stream media to your TV, the included Allshare app works really well for this. (I was really surprised, I thought it was just more useless bloatware)
If you have a Samsung TV this phone pairs up really nicely. Allshare works great, and there is another program called SwipeIt that pushes photos and videos to your tv.
Skifta (which I currently have on my Nook Color, haven't tested it on the Note since it already has Allshare) not only lets you share content with DLNA devices, but can actually act as an intermediary/remote control as well. For example, using Skifta I can tell my PS3 Media Server to push a movie to my Samsung TV. Now if only the TV didn't ask for permission before displaying it...that could be a lot of fun screwing with friends while they're watching something else. :3
yea my TV is a 4 year old Panasonic plasma so the only way to get anything on it is through hdmi.

Yeah ive used the hdmi out from my infuse with my note, a/v both work great even on my 51 inch screen. The samsung allshare app actually works really well if you have any newer samsung components.
I was looking at the Galaxy Nexus threads and saw this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_--zcmqIyRI and decided I would try it out on the Note. I did this on my Evo when I had one so this isn't a new idea but I kind like it. This isn't an in depth video, it just shows you how it works with what I have working with it. The commands that the Nexus user can use with his keyboard I couldn't get to work with the Note. Not sure if its an ICS thing or what. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laUNz7QJ9Wo&feature=youtu.be
I too have been playing around with this and it is a pretty novel idea. It isn't 100% there yet in terms of being a setup I could use full time, but it does let me travel without my laptop and plug in to a hotel TV.

Is there a way to make the Motorola Lapdock to work with the Note or something similar?
I was hoping to put Ubuntu on my phone and be able to mirror that to the screen.
Any suggestions?

Can you get any of the commands to work from the keyboard like the Nexus? I'm not having much luck there. Might be a gingerbread thing.

I just found an old Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard (it's a small black box that you set on a table, and it projects a full-sized keyboard onto whatever flat surface it's sitting on using a laser) I used to use with my Windows Mobile 2003 PDA and tried to pair it with my Note today. It works flawlessly! This thing hasn't worked with any of my devices since WinMo 5, and even then it usually required a driver to be installed. Not with the Note! Just need to be sure I have the Samsung Keyboard selected (but it doesn't need to be open). I just keep getting more and more excited about this thing (except for the dark splotches on my display and low Quadrant scores).
Ok this is neat for traveling. Anyone know what cable we need to connect to the lcd monitor?

You have to have the MHL to HDMI adapter for it to work. I got mine on Amazon for $22 including shipping and got it within 5 days. Then of course a bluetooth keyboard and mouse..works good. Does your monitor have HDMI?
Edit: If your traveling I'm sure the tv might have an HDMI...unless you stay in a Days Inn as I do..

No problem. Like I said, Its not the first time its been done but I thought I would share and see if anyone had any different experiences than I did.
The Logitech Tablet Bluetooth keyboard/android 3.0+ works nice with the Note.
It even has 3 special keys to enable the menu, home and search buttons.

Are threre any video quality diffrence between the two apps phone/tablet versions?
I mostly want to use this for the dvr shows not so much live tv. I want the tablet app if it has better video quality but not controls for dvr seems like a deal breaker.Is the phone app video quality just as good? I want to make sure before I put down $300+ and $30 for the app.
Thank you guys for your responses

I just got the slingbox pro hd and its okay! All the features and function is there but the video quality is okay. I get the same choppy quality in sd and hd. I have it hooked thru component with digital audio and optimum online boost 30 down 8 up in nyc. I'm happy with the box and hope maybe ICS will make the video quality better along with netflix.

I'm using Slingbox-Pro for 7 years and never had any problem with the Tilt II and now I'm using it on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy " Tablet using Android and don't have any problem either.
When I try to use it on the new samsung focus S, The windows phone reqired that you must change the slingbox pro to slingbox pro-HD. I did that, spent $250 for the slingbox pro-hd, it works for 3 months then the power supply input on the pro-hd burned up. Now I switched back to the Slingbox pro and still working good with my android tablet but will not work on the windows phone. I think the windows phone SUCK !!!.I'll switch to the Samsung Galaxy Note as soon it come out. Stay away from windows phones. Regars,
Just got my mhl adapter and plugged into the tv. It works but the framerate is terrible. My phone gets a really good pic and the tv one is poor.
Is this normal or have I missed some thing?

You sure it's even S3 compatible? Because I think only the genuine Samsung ones have the 11 pins.
Mines the genuine one. It works but disappointing on video.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
itsa samsung adaptor, just from the infuse.
it worked on my skyrocket and Galaxy Note. i figured it would work on the S3
I have same issue, videos that I recorded using S3 cam plays really bad on tv with the genuine Samsung 11pin adapter. Its very choppy/stutters but YouTube or any other videos that I downloaded plays fine though... only the videos I recorded have issues. All the videos are recorded in 1080p. Any ideas what could be causing this?

If it works on any other phone then it's not S3 compatible because the new S3 cables have an 11 pin layout so works on S3 and nothing else.
Have you tried different televisions? . I'm gonna try another tv and then log with Samsung. It's not really watchable. Regretting not buying a dlna adapter instead at the minute

Will a DNLA adapter work with the S3 and any TV?

My understanding is the dlna adapter just plugs into a tv's hdmi port.

If you open WMPlayer and under streaming enable. Allow devices to remote.
Then launch video on s3 and you should get icon in top left. Press and watch dlna . Only vids I have trouble with is mkv. I believe that is dlna adapter dependent and my media player doesn't have codecs.
Not managed to try another television yet though.

How to use MHL
Buy the OFFICIAL cable, power it with your Samsung adapter, pop it into a working TV. Turn the TV to that channel on HD. Plug in your phone.
I experience a slight latency slowdown, but nothing that would make it unsusable.
I'm probably being just picky, put it this way I've completed mariokart 64 on 150 on it.

I have no problem but you have me confused with your instructions.....
You say "pop it into a working TV" ~ Pop what into a working TV?
You say "Turn the TV to that channel on HD" ~ You are going to have to run that one by me again?
You say "Plug in your phone" ~ Surely in order for the TV to pick up the S3, the phone needs to be connected and powered BEFORE you connect it and the HDMI cable to the TV, not after?
I Have official adapter.
I use the charger that came with phone.
Plugged into telly the framerate is poor.
The quality isn't great either.
Not sure what's going on but it's pants !!!
