I would like to hook up my note 2 to my car stereo's video screen somehow. The stereo has RCA inputs on the back, so I bought an HDMI to RCA converter box as well as an allshare cast. I didn't even think about hdcp or anything like that, but when I try to plug the allshare into my converter box, the box doesn't receive a signal. I'm guessing this is because of HDCP. Is there any way I can get my Note 2 to output over RCA, even if it takes a series of cables/boxes? I'm guessing MHL won't work for the same reason
It would be easier to just take everything that's on there transferred to a USB dongle and plug the usb dongle into your stereo

Yeah, I was hoping to use it for navigation so I could see it on my stereo's screen instead of having to look at the phone but I'm coming to understand that this is more or less impossible
Do you want audio only or video also? EDITED: Just saw your post above.
There are a few converters that do HDMI/miniHDMI -> Composite w/HDCP but they are active adapters that you will need an inverter for either 5V or 9V to it and a few other misc adapters to make it work right. It would likely be cheaper and faster to just buy a suction cup mount for the Note II and a 3.5mm to RCA LEFT/RIGHT break out cable. lol

I have an old HDTV that only has DVI and component in. Anyone know of a cable or converter that might work with the HDMI from the Dock? I won't be getting a new TV until next year some time, but I would like to use my tablet with the dock and bigscreen.

Yeah you can find a DVI-HDMI cable easily. I used one from my PC (DVI) to my 42" (HDMI). You should be fine if you just find a cable like I used (which was nice that it was cheaper for me than an actual HDMI/HDMI cable and then using a DVI/HDMI adapter).

Thanks for the replies... I am looking for something that will also push audio from the HDMI. I may need to purchase a converter, but I don't want to pay that much if it won't work. I wish the G tab dock had connections like my old archos dock has. Svideo, component, and composite, no HDMI but I didn't need it at the time with my old device.

Is the audio jack on the tab disabled when using the HDMI out? If not, then you can use a 3.5mm to stereo cable to run the audio.
I'm not aware of anyway to adapt out the HDMI audio to an analog equivalent. HDMI audio is digital, so there would have to be some active conversion going on, which means an expensive adapter.

Not sure if audio is disabled when Dock is used(haven't recieved mine yet, I got in on rebate) was hoping to get a jump on what I would need to use my G Tab with my bigscreen.
I know about Digital to analog issue but I have read that some devices will work with a fairly inexpensive adapter. I may be the guinea pig on this... I have found full converters that start from $150.00+. I guess I will wait and see if anyone has already gone down the road I face.
Thanks.

Or rather than a complete cable, just switch right at the TV set with this:
http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=110&sku=40367
Im thinking about getting an in-dash radio/dvd player. Most of these has standard rca video inputs. Would it be possible to connect the Galaxy S2 to one of these connections and mirror the screen on the dash? Would be great for navigation.
There are hdmi to rca cables out there. But no guarantee they will work with your setup as the cable itself is taking a digital signal and translating it to analog. It will depend on if the radio will be able to understand it.
You'll need the mhl adapter (make sure it's working before trying as some have had issues with them, depending on where they bought it) a micro usb power cord, and hdmi to rca cable.
There are converter boxes that will guaranteed convert digital to analog, but they can cost a bit.
Unfortunately, I believe the tv out to rca from the headphone jack was discontinued after the Captivate. That would have been a cheap and easy solution.

Hi all,
I'm constructing a heads up display using a pair of MyVu Crystals I have laying around. My problem is that I've only got an iPod connector cable and a standard RCA red, white, and yellow connector. There are HDMI to RCA cables on ebay but in order to use them without a converter, the signal over the HDMI port has to be analog.
Before I buy one, can anyone tell me if the HDMI port on the Photon is capable of outputting such a signal?
Many thanks!

HDMI to RCA cable will not work. I have tried it. I have also tried 3.5mm to RCA. My phone didnt like that and kept pulling up voice command. No display or sound at all on the tv I was trying to use.
Motorola sells an adapter (Motorla VGA Adapter $49.99) for the photon that plugs into the usb port and hdmi port simultaneously and it is says it converts HDMI to VGA to allow connection to projectors and older tv's. VGA is analog and the adapter requires no other power source. Should work if you went: MyVu>Ipod Cable>RCA TO VGA>MOTOROLA VGA ADAPTER>PHOTON.
Brilliant, I'll check that out and post the results later!
Many thanks.
I've also found this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_3029wt_1180
Think that might work? It's a fair bit cheaper than Moto's option. I just wonder about power as presumably that's what the usb port on the moto adaptor is for. On second thought, the Moto adaptor launches webtop which is likely what the USB is for. I'm thinking this HDMI one could work then? All I'm after is mirroring (largely for GPS nav).

Wow, awesome find! Only problem I can see is that you will need an micro hdmi to hdmi for it to fit the photon. You cant plug in the adapter and the access the usb port without muscling it. Might loosen up the sockets and thats no good. This one is better:
cant post link just search micro hdmi male to vga and youll find one same price range
Already has a micro hdmi end , no power supply required either. I am going to purchase this and try it out, I want to mirror my display on my 7 inch car stereo. Torque, netflix & Google navigation is going to look sick. There is no sound from this but you can run 3.5mm jack out.
Good one, didn't think to look for a micro ended one as I've already got an adaptor. I may go that way as well.
I'll make sure to pop a post up with my badass GPS driving microdisplay.
Ok, I ordered mine last night... sucks its coming from Hong Kong but Ill post up a video once I get it installed!
got the adapter.. hooked it up to a vga to rca out cable and plugged into an analog tv and got a flicker every now and then but no picture. Connected it to the Analog input on my LG 55inch LED and I get a scrolling picture in black and white only. Will try a couple different cables, the rca cable on the adapter looks like it might also take a 3.5mm jack also has a svideo out, havent tried to hook up to car yet but will and will report back.

Got my micro HDMI to VGA adaptor from Hong Kong today. Works perfectly!
I'm still waiting on the VGA to S-Video/RCA so will report back.
Maybe you've got a problem with an unsupported resolution? RCA can only go up to 640x480 right? Is there any way we can force the mirroring resolution to go lower?
Yes, Mirror resolution.apk and some modding. Look in Hybrid rom thread, there is link for that.
Thanks mate.
I'll give it a go and report back. I got my VGA to RCA converter and like the other poster have no picture. Will report back after using the resolution fix.
Cheers.
If you connect the MHL cable to the device and the OTG cable to the MHL cable the device can't detect the OTG cable.
How can I make this work? I've seen videos in youtube that they connect their device to the TV at the same they have USB bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected.
Anyone tried using MHL cable and OTG cable at the same time?

According to some of wikipedia entries it should be possible to use mhl and usb otg at the same time with a 11-pin mhl-hdmi adapter.
Wikipedia said:
11-pin MHL-USB Connector
The Samsung Galaxy S III uses a connector that is similar to the original 5-pin MHL-USB connector, but it uses 11-pins in order to achieve a few functional improvements over the 5-pin design.
It supports the use of USB and MHL simultaneously (note that the new Samsung 11-pin MHL-HDMI adapter also has a USB-OTG port).
Samsung’s Galaxy S III can power the MHL-HDMI adapter. Although this can theoretically also be done with the standard 5-pin micro-USB connector, the Galaxy S III's 11-pin connector is believed to be the first smartphone that supports this functionality.

Here you go.
So, it should work. But I couldnt make it work at the moment
I also got one of these 11-pin connectors and like it seems only the S3 has these adapters, so why the **** doesnt it work?? :/
I already asked sammy on facebook, just wondering what they will answer^^
Hopefully we will have some pos. results, dude.
cheers

How would that work since the micro USB connection on the mhl cable is for power / charger?
In those YouTube videos is it possible that they have the mhl cable connected to the TV and power source, and the keyboard and mouse connected wirelessly via Bluetooth?
Confused because you said USB Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. From what I know they aren't USB.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Samsung should eventually release a dock to use both so unless someone figures it out first you'll just have to wait, because if it just took an 11 pin USB cable someone would have got it working already and we'd know about it, so I reckon it might have some extra circuitry to make it recognised by the phone.
Guys, as I already posted, the connector has 11 pins, so it should be possible to use OTG and MHL features at the same time. thats the only reason sammy brought out this connector and also cause of incompability with the 5-pin connector.
So they should bring the f*ck out somethin for the phone that activates this feature.
And a big problem I have with my mhl-connector is that I cant configure the output
on my 2 TVs at home I get 1080i, (both only 1080i capable), but the picture is kinda oversized so I cant see 100% percent of the picture, only 90% or smt like this.
But the funny part is, that I get on my 1680x1050p PC monitor only 576p screen, what actually sucks So it would be awesome if I could choose the resolution I want to have. But I guess its a thing of the connector (maybe it choose the resolutions iself).
cheers
so the one in the videos using keyboard and mouse are bluetooth thru phone?

I am SO HARD waiting for THAT "DOCK" hopefully will came out any day soon.
They should do iut fast. I'm waiting so hard for everything get connected with my Phone. It will be awsome if I don't need my Pc anymore.
To use the MHL cable you must have power connected to the adapter.

That's damn funny because I have wanted to know whether that would work as well, lol.
Did seriously consider trying but as I was on holiday if they broke, I wouldn't be able to get replacement so didn't try it.
In theory I would think it could work, but only if you could somehow wire in power to the hdmi adapter as it appears to need that to run the hdmi aswell as provide power to the phone, at least enough that once the usb adapter tries to demand power to run it isn't enough for the phone to output.
As to whether this is just a a stupid guess and assumption of how the devices and being a noob, I don't know.
If you can get a micro female to male adapter with a usb splitter for power then technically I can't see why it wouldn't work if the limitations are physical as oppose to software based (whole other issue I have no clue about).
EDIT: Wow, when I started that post no one had replied, err, seems a little redundant now, lol. My bad. Also, this 5 minute wait to point this out, have seemed really long...
guess we'll have to wait for that dock.

Used a cable like this in my car with P1000, but it doesn't seem to work with P3100 still charging, but no audio... ;(
or maybe you know how to re-wire p1000 plug to work witk P3100 ???

There is no such cable compatible with the P3100. The original Tab had a TV out cable which also had audio. The P3100 has no TV out hardware.
Why can't you plug into audio via the headphone jack?
It seems that secont tabs doesn`t have video out, so only way is 3,5mm-to-RCA adapter
But if p3100 docking station has audio output jack so it must be a way to put audio via main connector... don't you think?
Ok - just bought docking station model EDD-D100BEGSTD which has jack audio output and it works! So P3100 definitely CAN transfer audio via Samsung connector.
Now, anyone have/know/can share Samsung P3100 connector pin scheme?
This docking station isn't only for the P3100
It is for all Samsung tablet which have the same connector (from galaxy tab 7.0, 8.9, 10.1 to galaxy tab 2-7.0, 2-10.1)
Ok, so i dismembered my dock station - it turned out to be a bunch of plastic, metal and plugs connected via tape. Just took out tape with connectors, wrapped with isolation and got myself audio/charging cable.
But still.... it's pretty thick...
So it is possible to send audio via connector, now I'm waiting for some electronic geeks to make regular cable like the one i used with gp1000

Honestly, do you folks ever read anything or do you just post to hear yourself? I covered this a dozen times already. READ. Just a few post back an dposted the pinouts in one of the other 6 or 7 threads on the same subject. Get a grip. NO video hardware on the P31xx series.

Uhm... how you do that?
What's the pin number for the audio?
And, are you in stock ROM?
What happend if you connect at the same time the audio out from the connector and the audio out from the standard 3,5mm jack?
If out give me this information I can make one...or two...or a lot of this type of connector with double function: charge and audio out
Thank you
