Hi friends..
I am looking for some help regarding S3 MHL HDMI adapter.. I am avoiding buying a genuine Samsung MHL Adapter considering its cost so I went ahead and bought a lot cheaper one from Ebay, turned out that I bought one that's for S2 so I am again going to order for a new one for S3.
But before that I have few questions if you could help me on them ..
1. What's the difference between EPL-3FHUBEGSTA and EPL-3FHUBEGSTD as 3FHUBEGSTA seems to me to be a genuine product since this product code is on Samsung but most of the items listed on Ebay are EPL-3FHUBEGSTD so will they work?
2. I know I can buy some 5pin to 11 pin connector to use my S2 MHL adapter with S3 but instead I will go ahead and get a new one since they can be purchased as cheap as 10$.. Although few are available for 30$ plus range too so what could be the difference?
3. Are there any other accessories I should be careful about other than S3 11 Pin MHL Adapter and 5pin to 11 pin connector?
4. What's the difference between MHL adapter and HDTV adapters?
5. Should this will work with my S3?
Thanks..

On the t-moibile site, under features for the phone, it lists:
MHL adaptor for HDMI capability
Does it come with such an adapter out of the box? I'm interested in using it to connect a usb card-reader to it so I can easily copy photos from my camera.

No, I it doesn't come with one in the box. In fact, I it was publicized that no other adapters aside from the official Samsung one would be compatible with the phone because Samsung changed the pin layout for the GSiii.
No, but I found one on Ebay that works great and a lot cheaper to boot!
Edit : Wait...I bought one for my SGSII...I assumed it would work with the SGSIII, but perhaps I'm wrong! I'll have to test it and report back!
I wish. I checked then out online and they are like $40. It seems like way to much to just hook it up to my tv, and then the samsung car mount/charger is another $50. it seems like samsung is going the way of apple. at least apple gives you a dock when you buy a phone.
Don't worry. Third party accessories will catch up soon enough. That is lousy of them to charge so much for such a piddly little adapter.

just buy a USB OTG (on the go, or host usb) adapter if your just looking to transfer files from a card reader, the MHL adapter is primarily for video output, not input
I just got 2 USB host adapters from the link below for less than $3 shipped....also below is a video from android.NZ that shows all the crap we can plug into this beast of a phone
As for MHL Adapter compatibility, it will ONLY work with 11-pin MHL adapters, Most are 5-pin
USB OTG adapter
Hi. I wanted to buy a Micro USB to HDMI cable and found a few one on Kijiji but...They're all for Galaxy S3 and Note 2 ( at least thats what the ad says)
Has anyone tried any of these cables? If so, what model? and would the S3/Note 2 Cable work for I717? Please reply!
Here's a pic of the cable I want to buy: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTAwWDUwMA==/$T2eC16FHJG!E9nm3pwD0BRMkq)Z48g~~48_20.JPG
(Sorry if this is in the wrong section)
EDIT: I think i found the answer but I'm not sure. The cable works with any device that supports MHL... Which means Note I717 should be compatible..?
I don't believe the cable that works with the S3/note 2 is compatible with the I717. They changed something for those models. Do a search on ebay for mhl cable. You will see plenty. S2 cables are compatible.
Has anyone found a quality HDMI adapter? It seems like there are a few "options", but none that really stand out as the right one. Preferably an OEM / Samsung adapter, but whatever...
So there are a couple of threads related to this, but I couldn't find

I bought this one and have used it to watch several movies in Hotels while traveling.
Skiva MHL Micro USB to male HDMI cable (6.5 feet) for Samsung Galaxy S3 (SIII LTE i9300 L710 i747 i535 T999), Samsung Note 2, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note,
It needs to be plugged into a USB power source but it works well.

Yea, I also bought something similar like Skiva MHL from eBay for my Note2 and it works pretty well on Note Pro too. I believe this is better than you have to buy the MHL adapter, I also did and it is more tiring when you have to bring the HDMI with you; it just makes things more complicated and the quality on TV is not that great comparing to the other one. I also experience 2 black panels on the left and right side of my Sony TV, this was explained by the resolution of Note Pro is too high for the TV or some sort, my TV is full HD by the way. Hope this helps.
Hi everyone. I asked about this some time ago, and someone here recommended an adapter that I bought from Ebay. It was difficult to make it fit into the tablet, but it would fit sometimes. Nowadays, I can't get it to fit at all. It also does not fit into my new android phone, so I thought the cable was just damaged. I bought a different MHL to HDMI adapter (Rankie) from Amazon. This cable is pretty much identical to the first cable I bought. It also does not fit all the way into my tablet or phone (goes in about halfway). Compared to the USB charging cable, I noticed that the silver end piece of the MHL to HDMI adapter is slightly longer and different in shape.
This is the adapter that I tried to use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MY05GNA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Which MHL to HDMI adapter would you recommend specifically? If you could link to the page, I would really appreciate that.
I got the PPA version from Frys yesterday & it does work; will need to connect to a charger since it does drain the battery quickly. Haven't had it long enough to see if it works consistently; plugging the adapter to the 11-pin to 5-pin adapter is a bit tight but that's to the good for a solid fit.
The adapter is also available at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/PPA-Internati...id=1425057983&sr=1-1&keywords=ppa+mhl+to+hdmi
The "sale" at Frys for the last day is 2/28/2015 for $14.95.
So, I've got an HDMI adapter, an Ethernet adapter and an OTG adapter, but obviously, I cant use all three at onece, and I can't charge the tablet while I'm using any of them.
Can anyone confirm if the official Samsung Multiport Adapter works with the Tab S4, because it's not listed as a compatible device.
Or, recommend a cheaper alternative that works, specifically, using all ports at once, while charging.
Thanks
It does work, on the Tab S4 page, it says "Recommend accessories for Galaxy Tab S4: Multi Port Adapter (EE-P5000B), HDMI Adapter (EE-HG950), DeX Cable (EE-I3100). Exact model number may vary by country."
What a scam to charge so much for some port extensions.
Sammy management are on crack or something o.0
Nothing cheaper?
Look for an USB C hub in Amazon or a Chinese shop. I bought this.

Hello, i have tested 2 different usb-c multiport dongels. But they dont forward enough current to charge the tab S4. Battery slowly drains when in use (dex or multiwindow) or when screen is off and tablet idle.
So far i have tested:
Eminent AB7872 USB Type-C 4K Multiport Dock
Akasa AK-CBCA01-15BK 0.15m USB C HDMI (max 2a)
Has anyone a good alternative?

In a related thread, a user says edition model number it's working with his tab 4

Best Buy nearby has several in stock and will price match. No Ethernet, though. I just got my tab yesterday so all about outfitting it.
I'm likely to buy one in the morning.
I have this one and everything works fine. The hub is connected to an external Monitor (for Dex), wireless keyboard and mouse, to my Tab S4. I use it pretty much like a small dock on my desk and power delivery works fine.

I bought the Ugreen 8 in 1 multiport adapter from Ali Express. It works realy well, it has great length if you have short tablet stand. I haven't got a PD adapter for fast charging because it uses 7.5w but i don't know the Tab S4 supports Power Delivery and i have a double QC3.0 charger from Aukey but it is not charging fast so i am a bit disappointed.
