I have a MHL cable and a Xbox 360 controller and I was trying to plug in the USB OTG to the phone but how about plugging it to my TV? The phone only has a micro-usb port, MHL and USB OTG needs the micro-usb port. Help anyone?

I just found a MHL cable for the SGS2 on Amazon with Micro-USB to HDMI.
I have a Samsung HDTV bought about a year ago. Now i know that MHL means you can charge as well as view the phone stuff on the screen but MHL TVs have not released yet (i think, and even if they have i wont be getting one anytime soon).
So my question is can i still see the TV out if i use the MHL cable on my older TV? I know it definitely wont charge.
Anyone?? :S
yes you can.
all you need is the adapter from MHL (micro-USB) to HDMI, connect the HDMI to the TV and you are good to go.
the advantage of the original samsung adapter is the ability to connect a power cable to the adaptor and charge the phone while it transmits the picture to the TV.
hope i helped
Thanks mate
For anyone confused, an MHL cable is a Micro USB to HDMI cable - no ifs, no buts, this will transmit HDMI from a compatible MHL port. Nothing else needed (except I believe it must also be connected to power)
Your micro USB port on the bottom of your SGS2 is an MHL/USB port, and will therefore work.
Important to note is that not all micro USB ports are also MHL ports, therefore will not necessarily work on some other micro USB port on a different phone.
Is it possible to use at the same time the hdmi adapter and the usb adapter?
Thanks
No. Even if you could connect the usb adapter to the hdmi adapter, the hdmi adapter wouldn't work because the usb adapter takes up the 30pin port and the hdmi adapter would miss the power source it needs to run.
Is it possible to connect an unrooted S3 to a TV via MHL and also plug in a PS3 gamepad via a USB OTG cable at the same time?
Maybe there's a cable on the market which allows this?
There is docking station made by Samsung, EDD-S20EWEGSTD that allows HDMI and OTG and charging simultaneously

Thanks, that looks pretty smart. It is pricey though!
I have a freeview TV adapter plugged into my note 3. Problem is I can't charge it so I have to stop watching TV and wait until its charged. Can I get anything like a micro USB hub. I've seen a few but they are only regular USB ports and not USB micro which I need for my devices. Thanks in advance.
I have MHL to HDMI adapter which hooks up to TV and to a phone charger (other side goes to phone) so it is possible, but I can't say if usb hub would work, since I have not test it.
You can connect a regular USB hub to your micro usb to usb OTG adapter. I tried connecting both a mouse and a keyboard to the hub and it works fine
USB hub won't allow you to charge the device while they are connected. you can either use MHL to HDMI cable as Pete4k advice and enjoy MHL 2.0 while charging or buy one of those USB OTG adapter reader but where you can connect several peripherals and charge at the same time.
I've got a Lindy MHL 3.0 adapter and it works flawlessly. However I'd like to hook up my wireless xbox 360 controller adapter (which also works flawlessly) - at the same time.
Obviously I can't plug anything into the micro usb whilst the mhl adapter is plugged in.
So, is there a 'y' cable that can be made or is there a dock allowing usb input along with mhl output?
According to the mhl 3.0 spec, there's support added for hid input (such as game controllers?) but I've no idea how they envisioned the physical setup with only a single micro usb port.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
i have already thought about that...
won`t work in my optionion unless you have a specific microhdmi output like to old XPERIA S....
