This is a question, that is very important for me.
...
You see, this SGSII phone thing'y is HOT as HELL. It is everything I want in a phone... BUT STOP...
...
NO HDMI out?
...
The original SGS has one and I really don't understand why they took that away from the SGSII.
...
I heard that there is a way to get HDMI mirroring with a software and a micro-USB to HDMI cable! Is that purely a software question or must there be a hardware thing to?
...
Please... respond to this, this is very important.
An MHL hardware connection is needed (look up MHL in wikipedia), fortunately in the official Samsung specs from the press release it says that it has MHL. A video from MWC from someone representing the MHL consortium also says the SGS2 will be the first device supporting MHL.
I'll feel better once I see someone demo it, but Samsung have officially announced MHL capability for the SGS2.

You think Mobile High-definition Link??
Yes... I want to see a demo to. It would be nice to have this mirroring capability.
Something does confuse me about MHL, if you have a TV which isn't MHL compatible and you don't want or don't have the adapter, can you use a microUSB-to-HDMI cable and just not have it charge at the same time?
doh...

Thanks, but I've seen that video and it doesn't say if you can or can't use it without the adapter

It says you can use it without the adapter, but your device won't be charged.

My friend you can use with any HDTV but you dont have charge of your battery device except if you buy an adapter MHL to charge and transmit signal on the same time. But how last your battery can provide of energy?
In my Xperience In my IPad I see 3 Movies via Wireless Apple TV and my battery show 30 % remain. In the case of SGSII at least You have enough power to see a movie with Screen turned Off (SGSII)
!?
Are there any news about a mirroring capability on the SGS II?
...
I've been searching the net for some confirmation, that there is going to be a possibility playing games on the SGS II connected to a flat screen TV, but couldn't find anything to confirm that!
...
Are there any news???
surely if this was possible, it would have been all over the exhibitions and videos of it would exist?

Or the SW used for demo phones didn't have the mirroring properly implemented yet and the option was not included in menus.
EDIT:
I have not seen any demos where SGS2 is connected to a TV via MHL/HDMI.
Is there any previews or videos where they use that ?
No videos yet, the question of whether mirroring is on offer remans in the air.
!
Funny... cuz... The first SGS had mirroring, if this one has it not, than it is a kind a regress!
...
Sorry 4 my English.
Yep, I'd be very disappointed if this can't do mirroring, I love using it with my SGSI and would find it hard to part with (use my SGSI on the tele with BT keyboard and mouse, excellent experience, only problem is only SD-out).
I cannot for the life of me find the video of the galaxy s3 showing all the things that can be connected to it. I cant even remember what the equipment used was called. All I can remember is there was a video and apparently there are up to 60 some odd things that can be connected to the Galaxy S3. Any help?
bump, does no one know what I'm talking about?
nope are you reffering to all of the features it offers?

No, someone posted a video on here of all the devices you could connect to the S3 via some sort of dongle and I'm trying to out what that is because I wanted to get one. The video said you could connect like 65 different things to it including an xbox 360 controller.
this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46IiRyigUH0 ?
MHL is the micro usb to hdmi adaptor
USB OTG cables is the micro usb to usb cable
Huge thanks! Thats the video.
Hi,
I'm going to buy SS official MHL cable, but I would like to know whats the best option for me to control my moble?
Actually I just want to sit on my couch/bed and watch some video content.
Should I use a mouse + keyboard? Is it actually good? I think ICS navigation by mouse is not good...
Should I use another phone/android as a controller? Is there any application?
Should I just buy a longe HDMI cable?
I want to hear people solution!
Best regards,

How about Allshare Cast? It's a HDMI dongle for your television wich can wirelessly mirror your phone on the screen. So you can keep the phone in your hands/pocket while watching =)
It's not too cheap though with ~90$.
There are other clients for remote viewing, including homebrew-stuff based on the Raspberry Pi micro-computer.

That's an easy+cheap solution altough not the most practical one.

It's terrible since it's designed for touch input.

This is the more pratical solution, but is there any comparison between MHL vs all share cast? I don't know about the overhead in phone performance, image quality, wifi bandwidth during the streaming, etc

Ive seen those, they are all very limited! If we choose wlan screen share, the samsung own solution is the best one atm.
Afaik it uses Wifi direct, so no worries for overloading your router. That would mean you sacrifice wifi connectivity though.

Hi Guys, my EVO 3D is an international GSM version. I would like to know if my EVO 3D support HDMI out. I want to watch movies through my TV. Did anyone here try this before? The resolution of my TV is 1366*768 16:9. When I output EVO 3D to TV, the resolution would be ?????:cyclops:
Thanks

Yes, even with the stock ROM. According to the comment on this listing it has a maximum resolution of 1280x720P.
I've used it with custom ROM's too, and have noticed that sometimes it takes a reboot after the adapter is connected to activate it.

So the adapter in the second link is what I'm supposed to buy to play my videos on my tv?

That's the official (HTC OEM) version that costs about $35-40 and it works well and looks cool. I bought this version on eBay for about $9 and it works fine for me. The important thing is to provide power using the HTC charger to make it work properly and charge the phone while using it regardless of which adapter you use.

You might want to look at monoprice too. I've never bought an mhl cable from there but their hdmi cables always work great

Thanks. I am now using stock rom 4.03....You said it only supports resolution of 720P? I find out some threads said it could be work under 1080P..... is this an adapter problem?
I have another question. Did you try browsing internet through your EVO 3D when it was connected with TV? I wander how you control it? Is that a way to connect with keyboard via bluetooth?
Thanks

I just hooked up my Samsung LN19A650A1D 19" TV/monitor to my Evo 3D running MeanROM ICS 2.6 with the MHL adapter cable I bought from eBay, and you can see from the attached photo that it was able to achieve a resolution of 1980x1020 in landscape mode, but that's interlaced @ 30Hz.
Regarding the control of the phone while it is connected via MHL/HDMI, you can continue to use the screen and keys on the phone, or use a remote control program like VMLite VNC Server from a PC via a Wi-Fi connection. The Internet browser and most other apps run fine when the phone is connected via MHL/HDMI.

Thanks for your reply. I am also curious about if I can watch 1080p movie through EVO3D. Did you try it on your TV?
I have read that the phone does support mhl 3.0, but then I have read that it doesn't and the only way you are getting video out is through Miracast. Anybody here have direct knowledge if there is mhl support?
Thanks
Microsoft Miracast dongle won't work with it either. Does not connect. So much for using this phone with my Appradio.

Just wish I knew which adapter worked. I would get the nex4100, but having an Appradio 2 already and was planning on using ARLiberator or unchained, it would keep me from spending $600. At this point I guess I have to return my phone. Drastic I know, but my radio is useless without a phone.
Samsung phones will generally only work with Samsung brand MHL adapters.
I've read multiple sources on the web that it is true that he S6 doesn't support MHL. I'll verify this later today. While this isn't a big deal at home because you can use chromecast ...etc, , it is in my car. I've always displayed my Phone's (androids and IOS) on my car stereo, for gps or waze purposes (just some examples). Anyone else use MHL? kinda bummed about sammy taking away that functionality.

I got it to work with my AppRadio using Chromecast. Not sure if that is an option for you, but it did work for me. I just would rather use a hardwire connection. If Chromecast had not worked I would have returned the phone. Lack of MHL was a deal breaker for me, but Chromecast works really good for this device.

I have a Kenwood, Guess I could put a chromecast dongle on. I prefer the hardwire connection. How stable is your video connection to your head unit?

With Chromecast it is flawless, with any other Miracast adapter it is horrible. The only hard part (not hard, time consuming) is setting up the Chromecast to work with tethering off of your phone. The rest works just the same as an mhl adapter.
Well, these comments are bothersome! I ordered a Samsung MHL connector from Amazon and it is coming from China on a very slow boat. I ordered it two weeks ago and Amazon says it could be another month. This will tick me off if it finally gets here and doesn't work!! If anyone gets it to work, please post here!!
I got an official Samsung adapter and my s3 works like a charm but my s6 edge just shows a black screen
....m/-#*#*#**#@ !!! But Chromecast works well...dammit Samsung !
