Hi guys
Updated to 4.3 no issues. But I recently bought an MHL to HDMI adapter for my Note 10.1 2014 which is working very well with the tablet. So I wanted to try it out with my S3 and it doesnt even detect that there is an hdmi cable connected. It starts charging when i connect the power cable to the adapter, but no hdmi out.
Any ideas? It's just strange because it's working with the note 10.1 which also has android 4.3...
HDMI working fine on my 4.3, S3 requires a special connector for hdmi -no idea if the note has the same connector.
should be the same.. It's a 5 to 11 pin adapter. It even says "S3 MHL Adapter" on it!
I have a whole bunch of apps frosted with Titanium though. Maybe i frosted something that is needed for hdmi?

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.
Hi,
I've buyed today an MHL Adapter for my Galaxy S2, and i have one Samsung LCD 27" monitor with HDMI in, i've found a cable HDMI-HDMI 3 meters, and when i connect the phone to monitor, is not working. Is some settings to do? Is the cable not good? what i'm getting wrong?
Thanks
Did you connect your charger to the MHL adapter too?
I see in your other posts you seem to be using CM7
(Hint: it doesn't work)
What ROM are you using?
I have a samsung p2770hd . A stock sgs2 shud work fine with mhl adapter, can confirm it does for me
But my sgs2 runs cm7 rom..therefore. the mhl adapter wont work. Tried with and w/o cm7 rom and confirm, tv-out hdmi with mhl just dont work.
With cm7, camera firmware and stuff dont work either.
Maybe the mhl only works with 'samsung roms'. Would be nice to get the mhl adapter to work with cm7 rom..

I'm on cyanogenmod 7.1 modified a little bit by me. Everything works perfectly, less that hdmi out...
Now i've read that is people waiting for cyanogen to support MHL... ( Any other alternative? Any Soft to do that?
I've flashed with RevoHD and is working, OTG, MHL, all...
Is very fast with speedmod kernel!
Is your monitor HDCP-compliant? If not, you will never be able to use your MHL cable properly, as every data going through is encrypted by HDCP.
Hello,
I'm having a problem with the MHL adapter which when connected to either of my TV HDMI ports (which worked with the bionic's micro HDMI cable) gives a white snow pattern. The HDMI cable sign starts and the audio works. I have gone through 2 PNY connectors with identical results and I doubt that the HDMI cable is the problem.

I'm running Hatka's supercharged 2.0.0. but he says he doubts anything in his ROM could cause this and others who have tried his ROM said it didn't affect their mirroring.
Do you know if there's a way I can check whether my MHL connection is working?
Thanks!
Got a new MHL to HDMI adapter, I have a galaxy S4 phone and a galaxy note 10.1 2014 tablet. Works with both of them. I was able to get an HDMI output to project the tablet image on my TV. The next step will be to watch a movie on my TV screen that is sourced from my tablet and phone.
Then i tested it with my brother's tab pro 10.1, and it also works awesome. Chose to get this over the Samsung OEM one. So far I am very pleased.
Good to know but exactly how many of your posts are plugs for your website?
so will this mirror the screen or does it only work with viewing movies and pictures?
Does anybody know of any other affordable adapters that will work on a Tab Pro 8.4?

Cable Matters MHL 2.0 to HDMI Adapter with integrated USB Charging Port and 6' Charging Cable for Samsung Galaxy S3/S4/Note 2/Note 3/Note 8.0 - Black. Available on amazon. Sorry, Xda won't let me post the link.
This works with the 8.4 pro w or w/o external power. I had to trim plastic shroud around micro USB plug so it would insert deep enough to make contacts. Mine may have just been a defective example. It was an easy fix.
This one requires a standard m/m HDMI cable (not supplied). The one in post 1 requires a MHL to micro USB cable. (Supplied ? see correction.) The cable needs to be long enough so you can sit with your tablet and reach the TV.
Correction: The one in #1 does come with two cables. A USBmale to microUSBmale (for power) and a Micro USB Male to Male MHL Cable. (The later wasn't included in the pictures unless that what's in the black sleave box). How long is the Micro USB Male to Male MHL Cable? The length isn't listed on WOWparts.
Another correction 4Apr14: The Cable Matters MHL 2.0 to HDMI works fine without external power. Since you can set brightness of the tablet to minimum, you can easily get 4 hours on a charged 8.4 pro, maybe more. If you connect 5v power to the MHL 2.0, the tablet reports it is charging, but in fact, it is not. This is pretty strange. On my Galaxy 7.7 connected to a Samsung HDMI adapter, external 5v is required for the HDMI to work and it also charges the tablet.

after I read this ordered 2 1 for me (Tab Pro 8.4) and 1 for my friend ( Note 3 ) works great can watch a movie on the monitor ( using my PC monitor for this) while still being able to use other apps ( as long as you use the sammy vid player doesn't work that way with 3rd party vid players)
And to clear out some: If you don't know, better not say it,
The kit comes with all you need the "converter" is the small extra mini-usb piece labeled SIII => which by the way I noticed is extra long before I even used it, I figured bad quality control maybe? but no, it happened to my friend that length is actually needed to make contact with the MHL pins i'm guessing at this point since I read that Firedog91902 had to trim his for it to reach further in.
But yes it works great and comes with all you need!, The HDMI plug, USB Cable and the USB 5 pin to 11 pin converter all you need to supply( which you already have) is the charger or another USB cable for it to draw the needed juice.
They way I set it up in 3 steps
HDMI adapter/unit plugged to my monitor ( has 2 HDMI sockets )
Took and extra mini Usb charging cable from and old HTC for power and plugged into a USB 2.0 powered hub.
And last but not least Used provided USB cable with the little dongle converter to plug to the unit/HDMI adapter and my Tab 8.4 and tadaa works great!!

Both and not only that, if you use the stock Video player you can watch the movie on the TV while still browse and use the TabPRO for other stuff, just press home and the movie keeps playing and now you can chat or what ever else with the tab while watching the movie.

I can understand you. Last month , I also get a mhl to hdmi adapter from www.hdgenius.com ,Now it also works awesome. Support your idea !
I've got a Canadian S3 (SGH-i747m), bought an 11-pin MHL adapter hoping to use it as a media center. I know the adapter is 11 pin and works fine, because it works flawlessly on my newer Note 4. But all I can get it to do on my S3 is charge.
I was originally running CM11, someone said that doesn't have MHL support, so I downgraded to the latest stock rom, 4.4.2. But that isn't working either. The only thing that happens when I plug in the MHL connector is that a good 20-30 seconds later, it says its charging. Any tips? Is there another ROM I can try with MHL support?
If the mhl 'device' is 3.0 then it should work fine. Lower versions do not. I bought my 3.0 from Maplin (Maplin's own brand) and it works.
