Hi 1 week ago i bought this cable to connect my phone with LCD radio in car which have AV input. Can somebody help me if this cable is even good for s3 LTE and which micro usb is using (5 or 11 pin type) . Do anybody have experience with that and already connect s3?
The cable must be 11 pin and designed to work with the S3 model you have. The device you connect it to must also be MHL enabled.

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 together,
ive asked me if it is possible to use an adapter for 1x micro usb (plug) -> 2x micro usb (jack).
Could the phone handle 2 USB devices at the same time?
Maybe then it is possible to use the HDMI output and the USB host parallel?
For example to use an TV as screen and an HDD as the source for a movie.
This would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

When the connector is used for HDMI I doubt it can be used as USB at the same time, I'n sorry.
Maybe in a few months cyanogenmod provides a hack, if there will be an dual adapter soon.
We will see. Thank you.

The hardware needs to allow this if it'd become possible. You need a really smart USB dongle that knows how to split the HDMI output from the USB output.
Sounds a little too difficult to ever happen.
Hmm thats right. I think i still dream xD
But thank you.

it is not possible. because as stated on this forum many times before, the type of usb connection is determined by the resistor between pin 4 and 5 of the micro usb connector. the strength can tell the phone, that there is either a charger, a pc connection, car kit, jig, usb otg or mhl connection present.
and i believe, this is an important thing to keep in mind for so many things:
for instance, why the original car kit triggers car mode and generic car charging cables don't or why not just any micro usb male to usb a female will work as a otg cable or why flashing should be done with the original usb cable...
so if you were to buy or build a micro usb hub, since it has no resistor in the very plug that connects to the phone, it cannot be used for anything but charging and quite frankly, i wouldn't connect more than one charger to the phone.
however, if you want to use your phone for presentations or watching movies and still be able to use it, get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse or a bluetooth presenter or do it the other way around and use a usb input device and transfer your media using allshare. everything else is physically impossible, so neither CM nor XDA can do anything about it. the only device that can do what you want is the new motorola. it has a separate micro usb and micro hdmi port and a docking station, so you can use it as a full notebook.
Thats obvious. Thank you.

Hello everybody.

Hello,
I have an i9300 running a famous Custom OS : OmegaROM.
My digitizer/screen is broken : I can not see a thing on the screen.
I got myself this cable : http://www.morhipo.com/pl-8098-2-0-usb-to-hdmi-kablo-seti/17073032/detay which is supposed to be working on a S3 (written on the box).
However, I never did that before and I can not see anything on my computer screen with the HDMI on.
I hear the sound of the phone when i press the volume buttons, and thats all, so the phone is on...
How do I make this thing work?
Should this thing work in TRWP mode (think not) and how to make it work without access to the screen.
Is there a custom ROM that would have MHL running buy default?
Thanks for your tips

hey man sorry i can't really help but i have to ask you this: the mhl cable usually has a hdmi port which connects to a tv/monitor ( you can't connect it to a laptop with a hdmi port), and 2 microusb jacks: one that connects to your phone (the male one) and one that connects to the charger (female jack). Did you set those up correctly?
Also, have you ever had your microusb plug replaced on the motherboard? It is possible that sb replaced it with a 5-pin jack whereas the s3 has a 11-pin mirousb port.

hello and thankf for your reply lyoddxd.
Now worries about the connection : It is connected to the HDMI of my monitor. My set up is correct.
I never replaced anything on my phone...
Still searching....
HI all,
My device is a LG G5 H831. I'm trying to connect usb devices Dualshock 4 and a Monster Digital overdrive advanced 128 gb drive) to my phone via usb otg. i have tried with 2 separate cables with no luck. This is one of the cables I used https://www.amazon.ca/CableCreation...5&sr=8-3&keywords=micro+usb+to+usb+type+c+otg
The other is a micro to micro cable that came with the phone clip for my DS4 using an anker adapter to usb c on it. This cable works with both my controller and my 128gb drive using my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8 inch tablet with zero issue, however my g5 will not even recognize something is plugged in.
Ive tried searching with no luck, and ive tried 6 OTG diagnostic apps and nothing detects any devices. I can still charge my phone via the usb port and connect it to a computer to transfer files.
I also keep getting USB "power supply" notifications when nothing is plugged in to my usb port on my g5. do you think these issues could be related?
