Just wondering if all MHL adapters are the same. Meaning, can I use a generic non-HTC adapter on my Rezound?

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?
(Watching netflix and don't want to get up every time)

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

crikey !!...
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

Does anyone know if NFL mobile app will work through the mhl adapter? I'm thinking of picking one up for that and some emulator gaming.

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?

How about Netflix? This seems to me like a bug of some kind, because it should work.

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
So I plugged my note in to my Samsung plasma tv. I used the mhl adapter that came with my infuse which I used with my infuse and it worked all the time. But it is not working with the note. Am I missing a setting or something? I am rooted with da g OC kernel but I haven't seen anything in that thread about this. So anyone have the same issue or could help me out?
Will gladly hit the thanks button fer ya!

Did not work for me until I plugged in the power into MHL. Then everything worked but the quality on the big 42" screen was not that good.
I have not ordered one yet, but I've seen other Note users say this PNY cable works good. It's the one I intend to order soon.

Anyone know if our Notes output 720p or 1080p to the TV?

just need to plug the power into it too.
Thank you for responses but I did that as well. Just forgot to mention it. As far as I know mhl will never work without direct power supply. As I said this worked on my infuse and I have set it up the same way but no worky. Can anyone confirm they have it working?

The screen only supports slightly above 720p so I wouldn't count on it handling 1080 externally.

I think it will output 1080p video files just like Samsung's larger tablets and play them in true HD on a capable TV.
From what I've seen, MHL adapters are a bit of a crapshoot for the Note. I have one made by CableMatters that seems to work well, but sometimes it inexplicably doesn't.
I don't need it for YouTube or anything but I use my phone to dl californication from demonoid. Be nice and easy to just plug the note in and fly but what I've been doing is using es file exp to drop the video file on my network HDD and then stream from there to my ps3. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? (Besides paying for showtime of course...LOL)

I saw somewhere there was a process. I think it was to plug in the hdmi, plug in the power, then plug into device. I saw it worked for the poster but i may have the order off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I agree, try it using the following steps.. HDMI from TV into MHL Adapter / Power from Wall into MHL / MHL Adapter into phone. if you hear the beep that the phone is charging, does not mean it made a connection with the HDMI side. if you get it connected there will be a 2 / 3 second delay between the beep and you will see something on your TV, also I have USB debugging OFF, seems to work better with MHL.
Edit: With my Adapter, I do not have to reboot the phone with the adapter in for it to work, it will auto detect whenever I hotplug it. I do have to mess with the connector plugging into the phone, seems it can be plugged in / detect power, but not HDMI, (Wiggle it

Is there a way to run both cables? With a splitter of some sort maybe? I've searched amazon for a cable with no luck.
Anyone on XDA know of a way?

Nope, when I first got the phone when it came out in searched that answer out for months in hope. Finally I just bought a new controller which was why I wanted it. I lucked out and grabbed a ps3 controller from newegg new for 32.99. What exactly are you trying to setup? The one thing I can tell you won't work is trying to get say a keyboard hooked up otg and use the mhl adapter.

I was hoping to hook up MHL and run a mouse actually. So I can control netflix and maybe a few games using the mouse on my tv.

Try using a bluetooth mouse to do that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, a Bluetooth mouse a keyboard work for me when using MHL.
I would like to do MHL and USB OTG for playing a flash drive files on the TV, instead of copying it over. But, a microSD card solved some f that.
Bluetooth didn't even come to mind for some reason haha, awesome idea! Thanks guys!

I should mention for the storage bit that there are some apps that can mount samba (windows shared) folders and you can later access data using a media app and stream the data over the network.

Can't make it function
Hi guys I see that you are talking about MHL and OTG...and it seems you don't have probemlms with it on your i777.
On the contrary, I can't seem to make it work....When I plug a mouse, keybord or flash memory....NOTHING happens.
I already searched a lot....some people say it depends on the kernel (mine is Siyah 5.5.1)...some say it depends on the ROM (mine is AOKP 7.3)....I don't know which answer is correct......or maybe my OTG cable is faulty????.......
Please if you know something else that I can do to enable or anything....let me know!
Thanks in advance!
I believe you misunderstood, I explained you can use mhl and bluetooth mouse and or keyboard @ the same time. However that's not technically using MHL and otg cable.

I've connected my PS3 controller and synced it over Bluetooth with the Sixaxis app. I've also connected a mouse and it worked pretty well. Nothing else so far.
Man this phone is great. Would love to hear what else you guys have connected.

got a few flash drives to work. a few different mice. a USB hub AND.... a SNES controller i wired up for USB with the retro-USB chip.
the controller was plug and play! no hacking/drivers needed!!!
i would assume most of the Retro-USB DIY/solder type chips would work then cuz i think they are the same controller chip but just flashed different for the different types of controllers.
Hmm,
connected my usb HD , a usb flash drive, and my logitech unifying receiver --> with keyboard and mouse ...all at the same time via a powered hub ;-) ... and it works!
Great ideas! Waiting on my USB hub now. Thanks everyone.

Tried connecting it to various head units (was thinking about buying one for music), didn't work with any of them. And since the S3 doesn't support Mass Storage mode it basically can't be used at all (unless you do Aux or Blutooth, which I don't want to do).
So I bought a generic ps3 controller off eBay and I got it working over blue tooth over my phone but it lags really bad so I decided to connect it with a USB cable to my phone but for some reason it won't detect the controller.... Is there a way to fix this? I want to use the controlled wired to my phone and not over bluetooth

Generic ps3 controllers are known to not work very well with phones. Some do not even work very well with a ps3. I bought 2 for my son at different times. The 1st worked really good, the 2nd is so bad that he will not use it.

The genetic part is where it gets tricky, you got lucky that it works on bluetooth at all... idk if you've tried, but you have to have it off before you plug it in, and don't have the Bluetooth service listening for it, sammy's supposed to have it down wired.
Basically don't try to use the Bluetooth app to run it wired, the rom takes care of it if it works at all

Put this file in system/usr/keylayout, set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot. This is the keylayout for the official PS3 controller but lets see is it works. It should. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jjm23c3ul3qscoj/Vendor_054c_Product_0268.kl

This did not work, its like it won't even read the controller, I plug the controller in and the lights come on and I press the PS button once and it does nothing.
And I made sure it works I plugged it into my ps3 and it comes on just fine, (it just lags when using it over wireless but when connected wired it works just fine )

yes i tried using it but it only works when you use blue tooth on the controller (the controller lags really bad when you use it wireless, so i wanna connect it wired so it wont lag) its like the phone wont sense anything is plugged in when you plug in the controller but my Ps3 and computer will sense the controller just fine when connected to them wired.

If using an official ps3 controllee over utg worked fine then im doubting any software is going to help. Honestly your lucky it works at all. My buddy bought one from ebay as well and it wouldnt work period. The lights wouldnt even light up when wired directly to the pc.

yea i mean it was only $8 but i just wanted a cheap white controller to go with my phone, wish it was the other way and that wired would work and not wireless. but it does work pretty good when its connected wired to the ps3.
Just wanted to post I got the controller to work .... All I did was turn on sixaxis like normal so it connects with Bluetooth and then plug it into the phone so it Is charging and it will work with no lag after that
