Samsung's website says this will have tv-out, just like it used to say for the Epic before it came out. I haven't seen anything in the reviews mentioning or testing this feature.
So, anyone have any idea if they've managed to give us this feature this time?

Everything a micro HDMI port on it these days, and if not it should definitely have an MHL port on it. (hybrid usb/hdmi that needs an adaptor)
...I heard a rumor actually comes with whichever cable it uses...I'm not getting my hopes up on that.

I'll use my thirty day return if it doesn't. Then probably get a photon. I'm ready to move from the Epic.
Thanks for the responses.

Well, if you try 10 days with each you can hit current generation Sprint All Stars...ET4G, E3D and Photon....
as underwhelmed with the E3D (especially the terrible radio/modem) as I have been I don't see the Photon in the same class as these two phones in any way except ram and qHD....and that screen is uuuugly to me. Though I hear the Photon has a fantastic radio, so, priorities, etc....I just hope this ET4G has a passable radio, cuz, I do not want to have to leave for Verizon (cuz the photon is too ugly to stick around for).

I was turned off by the Evo 3d in the store. The screen looks like those 80's holographic book covers. Nice gimmick, but not what I need a phone for. I have a 3d TV and I never use the feature.
When I played with the Photon at the store I thought the screen looked pretty crisp. Decent blacks -- no SAMOLED -- but decent. Seemed like a really sturdy build too. Folks over in that forum seem pretty happy so far.

Yeah, that whole "3D" thing was a gimmick and we all know it. But it had the "evo" branding, so, most of us jumped in whole-hog, since the OG evo had a truly remarkable development community (the fact that it was nearly identical to the Nexus-One is probably no coincidence)...I'll just stop there cuz I could rant for a while.....but...
The "pentile" subpixel arrangement that they use just looks, well, gross to me....there are other "pentile" displays with different subpixel arrangements. That "pentile" word is thrown around a lot and I doubt most people know what it means (5 tiles, lol)....to each his own.
I grew up in a time where the original Gameboy was the effin' height of technology and cool, all 4-AA batteries worth....even back then that costs $4.......But what's "ugly" to me is that goddamned case the Photon is in, angled corners...angled for the sake of being angled...? right? I don't know, nobody seems to, lol.
got mine today from Sprint. comes with micro usb cable, battery, AC/USB converter. no MHL. I had ordered a MHL to HDMI dongle a few weeks ago and it does full mirroring nicely.

Just a heads up if your thinking of getting the AS851 to sit your phone on the front mounted holder your in for a surprise unfortunately I have had this unit for 4 months now, whilst the unit is quite good for some reason My Xperia s and My HOX wont clip onto the unit and stay there, the USB port seems to be recessed into the phone a few mm to much for the dock to grad it properly, all 5 of my other Android phones are perfect but these two just wont play ball
Yeh reviews seem poor for it especially as it uses Bluetooth 2.1 and does not support APT-X, one of the reviews said sound quality was better through the headphone jack to aux jack, kind of defeats the purpose of just docking it....
Didn't buy one after reading them.

Yes just wanted a dock to charge my Andoid phone so was on the lookout as I didn’t want 5 different charging docks but I did want something better than just the cable charge method.
For me I personally think the sound is fairly good, lots of presence and quite tight base too and would rate it about 7/10 compared to sound docks I have listened to in the past, for the money its ment to retail for which I think is about the £180 mark I would defiantly stay well clear, but I was really lucky and picked it for £35 brand spanker from a guy who had been bought for his birthday present but unluckily for him he had an iPhone so it wasn’t any good … so he stuck it on ebay.
That was a great price so well done.
It is available on German amazon between 86 and 112 Euros

Not sure if many have heard of the appradio2 from pioneer but its a head unit/car stereo. Anyways you can hook the gs3 to the radio via the mhl cable and now with the arliberator app the appradio fully mirrors your gs3 with full touchscreen control.
Anyone interested in car audio should check it out truly an awesome setup and much easier and cheaper than mounting a tablet in your car

It is a great idea,I mean really it is,but it just isnt ready at this point.Your better off with one of the AVIC units.

Sound wise the Avic may be better but its nowhere close to the appradio once you add in the arliberator app. Just a shame someone had to make a 3rd party app to make the appradio truly worthwhile. I mean with the app your radio screen directly mimmicks your phone with full touchscreen control.
The audio does not sound bad at all. You don't need to buy a special cable. Its just a HDMI cable. I have two amps in my car and its probably the best sound system I've ever had. The HDMI is all digital so the screen and audio has no signal loss.

Hey thanks for the info. We just bought a new car and are looking to replace the head unit to something like this. I wanted something with GPS. However you said your set up allows for full mirroring of the GS3. Does this include the Navigation app? have you tried it out? If it does work, I would definitely look to buy one of these units because they are much cheaper than others out there with gps etc.
Just ordered my Appradio2 to pair with my Galaxy Note II. I'm pretty excited for this :good: :highfive:
Lol I love my S3 and music. But would never drop that much money on a car stereo. I do have a custom system and it is Pioneer. But I just keep my iPod hooked up to it. Cheaper then $600

I don't get why every ones so into having a bunch of extra tech in their cars. I have a pioneer with blue tooth and an aux port. Keeps me happy.
But while we're on sound systems, I just dropped two Memphis M-class 10s and a 12 in my car today.
They sound beautiful paired with the six Rockford 6x9s
I'd rather put my money in my sound than in "appradios" that probably sound like junk.

Somebody mentioned that the head unit has 2 volt pre-outs. I wouldn't waste that much money on a unit with such poor prevoltage. Based on that I bet it doesn't even have a decent DAC. Not trying to be a pessimist or downer but anybody into car audio knows that 2v pre-outs cannot possibly output good sound. Even with a signal booster. Not to mention you can find head units with 4v and even 6v pre-outs cheaper than that. I guess it's still cool that it mimics your screen and all, but that's a lot to pay for just that feature.
Edit: An example to prove my point...
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_20186_Dual-XML8100.html
This is the cheapest, bottom of the line head unit you can buy right now from sonix electronics. It's $36 yet it shares the same prevolt as the Pioneer mentioned in this thread.
Furthermore, here is a $139 head unit (the crazy thing is it's a pioneer too) that has 4v preouts....
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_42777_Pioneer-DEH-P7400HD.html
Why pioneer decided to put 2v pre-outs on the unit mentioned in op but double that in their bottom of the line unit just baffles me. Unacceptable from a sound quality standpoint imo.

Hi Purchased from Amazon UK (seller was Amazon)http://http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0051D3KKI/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 actual price £23.55 but now looks like Amazon have suspended that item until they review a complaint, suggest you keep an eye on that link.
Surprised No has been able to answer my question regarding BT trackball!!!
If its a BT track ball I would think it will hook up just fine, same way a BT mouse would.
Just to let you know if you are in the UK with a HMV store nearby you can get these for £10. Picked up a couple last week.

Hi which one do you have, how do you connect it to the tablet, I assume its just Bluetooth no dongle, thanks.:good:
Simple the original one:
http://www.amazon.de/PlayStation-Du...HY/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1362585611&sr=8-10
bought it when it was on amazon for 35€ incl. shipping!!! nice deal i thought. I do connect it with the app "sixaxxis" (bluetooth). Requires root though, but pretty nice app. Now i can play all the games of my childhood: zelda (oot, n64), tekken (psx) without the need to install the damn ugly consoles in my living room .. thats just awesome!!
After installing the app I noticed that you can emulate a mouse. That is very useful to me for streaming movies from my server, look something up on imdb and so on with the hdmi adapter...
any more questions? ?

So no way of having it connect to bt when using the hdmi adapter, bummer.
Question: Is the HDMI output lag-free, do the homescreens run smooth and is the image quality okay?
I just sent back the wireless allshare adapter because the streamed image has 15FPS when not buffered, the quality is worse than i expected and it ends every multitasking capability of the Note.

Well, keep in mind the ASCD won't mess with the resolution or color depth of the image displayed on the LCD, so if you see video quality issues (bad scaling or graininess or such) it's likely due to what your TV does with the not-quite 720P resolution of the signal from the Note 10.1 (1280x720 isn't a native resolution of most monitors and likely scales it to 1366x768), so I'm betting that the picture via the HDMI hard-wired cable will look the same (on static images) as did the picture from the ASCD.

New 2013 model of HDTV Adapter?
I'm shopping around for an HDTV Adapter for my GT-N8010 at the moment, and I've noticed that several online shops are advertising a new 2013 model - EPL-NPHPBKG.
e.g. - www dot amazon dot com /Original-Samsung-Genuine-EPL-NPHPBKG-EPL-3PHPBEG/dp/B00B8NJ6E4
They claim that it is the next verson of EPL-3PHPBEG (the model that this thread is about). Does anyone know what the difference is? The only thing I can see that might be an improvement is "Simultaneously charge your Galaxy Note 10.1 while streaming". I've seen reports on other threads about their tablet not charging while plugged in to the HDTV adapter. Can you confirm if this functionality exists on your EPL-3PHP?

Ah. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166540
Hi,
I dont know the id of my hdtv adapter but as far as i own it since the early days of my previous tab 10.1 (p7500) I am pretty sure it's the "old" one.
I can confirm the adapter is definetly charging my n8000 while connected to my tv behind the docking station (universal samsung), streaming .mkv from my ubuntu desktop / server machine and being controlley by emulated mouse with my ps3 gamepad (via sixaxxis).
Sure you won't win a speed challange with that configuration but the main point is it is charging. I guess about ~ 2..3 % / 0,5..1,0 h (never did a measurement ) but still charging. Thats pretty nice because sometimes when I come home from university and the battery is nearly empty (sometimes 2 days of usage with a single charge) I plug my note into the docking station, let it charge to 3 or 4 %, turn it on and start streaming. When I end the day and shut down the tv the note is at about ~10% and ready to get charged the whole night.

Looks good!
Update, just purchased apple Magic Trackpad looks like it works on my Tablet, No Dongle just Pin number input for connecting, so in theory I will be able to use it to control Note 10.1 whilst connected via HDMI adapter to TV, will confirm when it arrives this week.
Just received my EPL-3PHPBEG from Expansys. It was not the most expensive, but dirt cheap either. It works. It says it is for the Tab 10. The price on this seems to vary wildly with the cheaper ones (19-25$) all seeming to be out of stock, except today went back to Amazon and the Zeeestmm version now seems to be in stock and going for 29.00$
It works for my purpose - Powerpoint and other document projection. It does need to be powered, and the tab needs to be rebooted at least for the projector to recognize it. So it's working fine on my Tab Note 10.1.
What chaps me about Samsung, it the myriad of numbers and letters, all a bit different, but all seeming to be the same item. I thought it was bad with the phones and tabs, but it is beyond annoying with accessories.

Thanks for the reminder. Probably the image will look not better than before. However, it was not a difficult decision why i sent the Allshare Cast Hub back to amazon. For 60€ it's just to much for what it would have been for me. Ending all MultiWindow possibilities is probably the worst part. Well, with the HDMI cable i won't be able to connect USB anymore .. so everything has pros and cons. For what it offers, the wireless adapter was just too expensive and i was really annoyed that it was never remarked on ANY website i read that it ends multitasking features of the Note 10.1.
I have a rooted E4GT running FL16.
To connect to a HD TV, all that is needed is a MHL to HDMI adapter and a male to male HDMI cable.
Does anyone have a preferable vender, store or link?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

Welcome to the club brother! I find that ebay has the most variety when searching for the adapter or cable. But if internet isnt an option then the HTC mhl adapter at radioshack is an excellent choice for its stability and build.
Have you tried using sixaxis controller to play games on your phone with a ps3 controller while connected to the tv? Vice City is awesome
Thanks Stirfry. I actually went to multiple Radio Shacks, Best Buys and various cell phone stores this morning. No local store had any MHL to HDMI adapters in stock, or even knew what I was talking about.
I did end up ordering several different manfactures adapters to test via Ebay and Amazon. Prices ranged from $5-$25. So i'll be fine. Was hoping an XDA member either had a store or said "this is the manf and model # recommended or stay away from....". I'll post some results for anyone else looking after I receive some in the mail.
Thanks again,
Larry

That's where I bought mine. No problems.
Thanks. Ordered from Monoprice for $8 with delivery scheduled for tomorrow. Also found many other great deals on a wide variety of other stuff too.

Be aware most roms, including TW based roms, will not include MHL compatibility. You're kind of stuck with stock roms if you want to keep that functionality.
This is the HDMI adapter I use.

This is the HDMI cord I use.

I also purchased this a bluetooth keyboard so I sit back and control my phone. The keyboard has a mini mouse pad.

I recieved this as a set of bluetooth headsets as a present.

I use these items at work for quite some time, and never had a problem. My E4GT seems to handle the headset and keyboard at the same time flawlessly. I only use the headsets so I don't bother my co-workers when I watch videos on Youtube or Netflix.
Hope this helps.
