can i connect my s3 to lcd screen has vga port using mhl to vga adapter

No, there is no such thing. MHL is a digital standard, all the things you each want to connect to are analogue.
You are trying to put diesel in a petrol car, it just won't work.

Yes you can actually convert digital to analog by using an active converter, but that is somewhat expensive and unless you absolutely want to use it it's useless. Link here and also you will need a female to female adapter here for it to work. I have not personally tested but it should work (in theory).

Err, no. There is no MHL to VGA connector for the S3. You've found HDMI equipment, which uses the same plug but would ignore the signal -like plugging an S3 into a HDMI TV that doesn't have MHL, nothing happens.

How about this ? First, you are wrong abut the TV. No TV in existence has MHL. MHL is a standard for MOBILE DEVICES, not TV's
a HDMI TV that doesn't have MHL

so any adapter from HDMI to VGA that is active will work. Please do a bit of research before you post :good: . And then from VGA to SCART or RCA you will also need another adapter.

Lol, the op wanted to connect a mobile phone to a t.v.so yes, MHL is required in both the phone and the tv.
Relax, chill.

Full size USB adapter

I know the dock will have 2 full size USB ports. But honestly I'd rather just have a little adapter that I can plug into it.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will have one so hopefully Asus or another brand will produce one to compete!
Would something like this do the trick?

How about a dual Female A USB adaptor
Amazon: USB 2.0 Adapter Female A- Female A
...plugged to the cable adaptor that comes in the box?
The cable also has data connectivity for data transfer, it probably should do the trick.
I believe the HongKong electronic shops would come to the rescue. They are known to produce many useless converter before. I don't see why not this time. Probably straight from ASUS connector to USB.
I posted something on on Asus' Campus Life. Please his reply to it and respond requesting this accessory! Look for username Dean.

I hope they make something similar to the hinge on the keyboard dock, so it can actually latch on and has the two usb's and the SD slot, it would also make a nice grip when using the tf vertically. From the pics, what they have so far looks like it's going to stick out a lot and with something that big there is definitely more of a chance it will get knocked out and possibly damage the port.
Dont we have to have usb host support first for the transformer and dont we have to wait for honeycomb 3.1 for that?

Doesn't look so. And some people reported that Female A - Female A adaptors work for some devices (those that have their own power source probably) - there is a thread about it somewhere in this forum. I tried it but my pendrives nor mouse didn't work (there is probably no power line in the USB cable that is used for charging and connecting to computer).

Any ideas on release date to the USB adapter ? Pete

Proprietary to USB-female?

Is there a cable for the prime for USB host? I want a USB port but so far I can only find cables for the Galaxy tab or for micro USB ports. I don't want the keyboard dock, I have my laptop for computing. I just want a cable for it. So far I can only find the Asus dongle for the TF101(compatible right? Same proprietary port?), but that's only for an SD card, not a USB-female port.
Do you mean this? If you need to hook up a usb device to the prime, you need a dongle like the one below.

That's exactly what I meant, thanks! And sorry about that, fixed.
No problem
Would something like this work with the charger/data cable that comes with it?

good question, i was looking at picking one of these up so i could use my ps3 controller with my prime's included charging cable.....
http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Female-5-Pin-Male-Adapter/dp/B002S7PS8M
USB female to mini-usb male.
would this work and do i really need to shell out for that box, i just don;t understand what exactly it does, i think for what i'm trying to do it should be fine, i could see the issues when trying to use a usb hdd as i could see more drivers needed to even access the data from the drive....i would think a ps3 controller would just show up....any suggestions or buying some extra box to carry around 100% necessary....

Bought this last week thinking the same thing.
Does not recognize devices. Something is weird about the dock cable.
I was trying to pair my PS3 controller, I ended up doing it with the keyboard port instead.
On a somewhat related note, I dont recommend you buy the item at that link. I ended up chucking mine out because it was too loose to hold the cables in... and its mustard yellow...eww
I've yet to confirm this myself, but I believe the dock connector uses different pins for "USB Host" (ex: plugging in a controller to the tablet) and "USB Device" (ex: plugging the tablet into a PC) modes. Using a USB Female-Female adapter, as others above have proven, will not work.
Wait...I spoke to soon, the link above is useless. It's backordered and I can't find it anywhere else. Anyone have an idea?
I got mine from microcenter, in tustin, ca. There might still be one there. And yea I first tried a female to female adapter on the usb charging cable it came with and no dice. However this adapter does work. Plugged my 360 controller in and played some shadowgun.

Use old lapdock as a tablet dock?

Backstory:
I have a lapdock from my old Atrix that had the LCD go out on it. I was wondering if it would be possible to just use it as a battery, keyboard, and usb hub for my Nexus 7. I took apart the dock to access the micro usb plug to go into my Nexus 7 but have no use for the HDMI. However the lapdock is enabled when a device is plugged into the hdmi.
Question:
How do I enable the lapdock without anything plugged into the HDMI.

Can you get any pictures? It would be helpful.
If you the cables out, have you tried plugging the microusb into the nexus 7 and the microHDMI into the phone(to power it on) to test whether the nexus 7 even detects the keyboard, mouse, charger of the dock?

I Don't have any devices with micro HDMI anymore (Atrix went to craigslist). I ordered an adapter for regular USB but from China so who knows when I'll see that.
The nexus 7 doesn't support HDMI out at all. Google confirmed that... What you could do is make some like of dummy or I read somewhere to short some wires... Read before you do anything though...

I know the Nexus 7 doesn't support HDMI. Thats why I'm here asking if anyone knows how to short the HDMI. Having trouble finding anything on it.
sorry for digging and old thread but until now im using the lapdock as otg hub, a keyboard and track pad. i have to remove the lcd screen since i have no use for it. very useful indeed up to now 2018. i usually use this setup playing pubg mobile. i dont a tablet but probably it also works
if you have a broken lapdock lcd, then you can have mine for free. except you shoulder the shipping of course

Hello Guys,

Black MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter OTG Card Reader Connection Kit
It let you connect to HDMI without external power, also if you use external power you can use HDMI and USB hard drive at the same time, it is just really really amazing, Sammy has really improved their MHL and OTG support.
Note: I am using this device on my Note 3 N9005 I am not sure about other devices

Only £6.59 free postage from Amazon, just got to way couple of weeks to get it delivered, but its worth it
Black MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter OTG Card Reader Connection Kit
Mhl 2.0?
Iv been dealing with these for about a year now. From my s3 to my note 3. With the s3 it's 2.0 so you have to provide external power but these things are the tits when it comes to the note 3 with 3.0 you can run USB and HDMI without power. I play games and use it for work with all wireless accessories it's awesome. Supports 1080p at 60hrtz. We sell them in our repair shop and on Ebay. Not often though as "normal" people don't see the capabilities of this lol.
Go buy one their awesome.

Is there something like this that has a port for charging? I wanted something like this to hook up to a monitor or an HDTV so I could play my emulators on a big screen.

It's not immediately apparent, but the device pictured (and others like it, one of which I have) do have a port for charging: the micro usb. When I got mine it took me a minute to realize that, then it hit me that power would really be the only use for that port. So I plug one of my Sammy charging cables into it during use.

Oh, derp. I didn't even see the small port there, looked like a small microSD card slot. Thanks for pointing that out!

Umm, didn't you seee the adapter with the SIII on it? Isn't it obvious that you need to use it? Omg, the people nowadays. It says right on the effin adapter SIII. What do you think you use it for? SIII means S3, be it either i9300 or i9305.

Update : Alex I used it with the adaptor MHL and it still had no image. The problem was coming from the HDMI cable (I think there is a problem with different HDMI versions)
Now, I have everything working (keyboard or mouse or HDMI) but not at the same time.
I cannot unlock my screen. That is soooo dumb : I tried many times with the mouse or with the keyboard but no luck. It seems to be as simple as pressing ENTER on my S5 but I cannot replicate that on my S3.
It get stucks in the home screen - I said lock before but it is not really a lock...
I am now tring to find a solution using Vysor.
Unfortunately, I dont know how to enable the developer options with no screen Maybe using command line with developer tools... no idea...
It would be easier if you would flash stock with odin, so you have no lock.

When I reboot, there is no lock... but still it seems my OTG with the mouse is not working...
So I am trying with ADB tools to use that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
I am now stuck at the USB authorization from the computer to the phone : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/folder-data-misc-adb-adbkey-device-to-t3398376
RRRRRrrrrrr :crying::crying::crying:
If you have normal OTG connector (I mean just microUSB to USB a female adapter) you can try to use mouse with it. Maybe the MHL hub that You showed in 1st post makes some problems with OTG
