I`m REALLY need to use my old i9100 as miracast receiver, connected to TV via hdmi.
The trouble is - genuine samsung kernels (that support mhl) ends in 4.1.2
Miracast starting at 4.2
So i have to chose - miracast or mhl
What should i do? I have heard about some CM roms that 4.2+ and support MHL, but can`t find one.
PLEASE help. I just can`t buy new mediaplayer right now(((

Hi guys,
1) I bought Nokia USB OTG HOST cable like this, and it works very well
2) I also bought Samsung Galaxy S2 HDMI adapter like this,
to try on Sony Tablet S.
Unfortunatelly (as I thought) - its not working.
So anyone who thinks about buying one - don't buy it(for now).
Maybe someone knows if other adapter would work?
Maybe HDMI support via microUSB port could be added
in software, of course after we will get root?

I too would also like to know if this would be possible. If i root my Sony S tablet would that help,or there is a custom rom i could flash to my Sony Tablet to enable the use of a micro usb-to-HDMI cable for video/audio output to my 42"LCD TV. I only ask bcuz none of my TV's are wifi/DLNA capable & Id like to use the Sony tablet for streaming Netflix to my TV's. I recently upgraded to the Epic 4G Touch/Galaxy S II & i would rather use my tablet for streaming than my Galaxy S II. Thanks for any info
It would be pretty cool to play a nice graphics game on the Tablet S with it displaying on the 42 monitor!

Folks, this tablet does not have HDMI out. Even when it's possible to root it, that won't help.

Galaxy S2 doesnt have HDMI out, and work with adapter. How can you be so sure that its not possible?
Hi Condi,
While the Galaxy S2 doesn't have an HDMI socket like you'd have on your TV, it does have the electonics required to do HDMI over microUSB. Unfortunately the Sony doesn't have this because Sony decided to use DLNA instead, mainly because their TV's have this functionality.
I did quite a bit of research on this subject before buying this tablet and confirmed it with Sony UK.
Sadly it's pretty typical of Sony to build their gadgets to work best with their own devices. Another example of this practice is the proprietory power connector that means you have to use their £30 power adaptor, which is pretty pricey for a mobile power adaptor if you ask me. It also means there is currently no car charger for it, which is extremely annoying too.
Hello, I have a little problem with the phone samsung galaxy s2 cm10.1
Display does not work with mhl on the TV screen, in desperate need of it because he wants to show videos from phone to a projector by cable hdmi.
Whether it is possible to mhl work?
Yes it's possible.Use stock rom.And next time ask in q&a thread.

Mate MHL wont work on CM9/10/10.1 or on AOKP or AOSP . It will work only on stock rom
I thought videos would play over mhl on any ROM they would for me on cm10, its just complete mirroring that don't work. If you try to play the videos it'll work also youtube vids will work as well
Hi all,
Imagine: you come home from work, place your Galaxy S2 in your docking pad or station(or w/e its called), turn on the 23"+ monitor and start surfing the internet, listening to music, watching videos/movies - with your docked Galaxy S2 - as a 'PC'
Does such a device exist yet? The dock I'm asking for handles(or should) the following:
- the galaxy s2, charging while docked
- the hdmi monitor
- the usb2.0 keyboard + usb2.0 mouse
- 5.1 or 7.1 audio speakers system
- ethernet port (preffered)
or something similar to this - with the above list - for galaxy s2: http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/e2343fi - note the: "with built-in iPhone®/iPod® dock."
Sorry if this was asked before, I've searched but no match. Similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441993&highlight=docking+stand

You will never find a dock which allows HDMI and USB simultaneously. MHL simply doesn't work that way. Only one (either HDMI out, or USB) can be used at a time.
You'll need a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to achieve this

something similar for galaxy s2? (or s3)
that one works for s3, but it seems the usb slots will not work, hardware limitation on phone?
whats the difference that note2 has and s3 doesnt have, that lets the usb work on note2 but not on s3?
edit: ah, I see, link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link#11-pin_MHL-USB_Connector

Yes, I should have been more clear. 5 pin MHL on the i9100 does not support simultaneous USB & HDMI. This is a hardware limitation.
Note 2 and Galaxy S3 have 11 pin MHL.

going offtopic a bit, it seems the s3 11pin is not backwards compatible, so not really MHL, but proprietary(to sell s3 specific accesories), link: http://www.galaxymhl.com/ ... original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836822
back ontopic, could the samsung multimedia dock be used with s2?
PS: I hate that I'd have to purchase bluetooth kb+mouse just for that

There are many versions of "the samsung multimedia dock", for many models of Samsung phones. You'll need to be more specific.
And no external dock is going to change the fact that the i9100 has a 5-pin MHL connection, which still will not support simultaneous HDMI out and USB.
As for the off-topic, there are adapters you can get in order to plug an S3 into an existing 5-pin MHL adapter.
EDIT: here's one direct from Samsung.
Hallo,
I used to use an MHL connector, before I flashed up custom roms. But now I do not use S2 as primary mobile and I wanted to use it like a Chromecast. But suddenly the MHL connector now do not work, I have tried all stock Android versions (4.1, 4.0, 2.3) and none works. Is there any possibility that it is caused by the version of the rom (country)?
MHL isn't (and most likely will not be, due to certain sources not being available) supported on AOSP-based ROMs, only on official 4.1 and below.
You might try Chameleon if you want an AOSP-like ROM with Samsung base (where MHL works correctly).
Thanks, I will try. But now I flashed Stock XEZ 4.1.2 it writes "Connected to HDMI" when I'm charging the adaptor by external battery, but from wall still nothing. But still no image...
Make sure your adapter is compatible (I have an MHL adapter which works fine with S2 and some Xperias, but not S3...). External batteries might not be enough as well, try using a microUSB charger/connecting the USB cable to your TV if you can.
Hi all. I am looking to get an Android device that supports MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) so that I can connect it to my car's display via the HDMI port. This site: https://www.mhltech.org/devices.aspx?tid=1 mentions phones that support MHL. However, the majority of devices I see are old and not recent devices e.g. Galaxy S3. So I wanted to know, are there any recent Android phones such as Samsung or Huawei that support MHL?
