I'd love to hook up my phone (sprint Evo) to my pico projector, but can't seem to find any micro-hdmi to mini-hdmi cables. Anyone know where I can find one?
I've found a few places that sell an Optoma brand one but none have them in stock.
i dont think i have seen a mini to micro cable. You should be able to get a micro hdmi to hdmi cable, then a hdmi to mini hdmi adapter.
In ebay.de there are a lot of....
Did you ever find one? I too have a pico projector that I'd love to use my phone with.

It's actually a MICRO HDMI port.
Here's the one I got from Amazon, works great with the new HDMI Mirring App.

Yes its a MICRO HDMI, not mini. And the usb is also Micro usb, not mini.
I would HIGHLY recommend buying from monoprice.com, fast shipping, and great products. I order over 100 bucks in cables each month from them, never had a problem.
Here is the one you need:

¿Where the fck can we buy an MHL adapter microusb-hdmi or a full cable to use with the phone?
tada!
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-mhl-adaptor
As clove give a mid june date, anyone know other site to buy a mhl cable now?
try here, but its more expensive
http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Galaxy-...183007?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5ae01ef99f
note: this was supposed to be sold for the galaxy s, but i think it didnt work, so it was abandoned. I think that what happenend. If im wrong, someone kindly correct me please
Hum, I think that MHL is a different kind of cable, in concept it is the same input output, but the middle conversor I dont know.
I prefer not to try at that price until I know for sure
Is this not all that is needed
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320679284523
Hope so as i orderd one a few hours ago.

I doubt that'll work as it's not an MHL connector, which I understand is HDMI and USB combined, but if it somehow does... bargain!
Lol now i look properly its not going to work at all
imo very stupid not to use standard HDMI mini port... now we have to buy adapters and ****.. and the phone won't charge if you don't have special adapter.. epic fail imo.. anyway they should include adapters with the phone.
I agree, they should include the required cables and adapters in the box, other manufacturers like Nokia do with their flagship handsets.
I think MHL will ultimately be better than mini HDMI port though, since its looking very likely to become the next standard connection.
I'm hoping to get one of the MHL cable/adapters from the MHL consortium for my Clove Blog review, if I do then I will post up a youTube video for everyone. At the present time the consortium PR person is trying to procure one for me, but it seems likely its inordinately difficult, so remains to be seen whether I will have it in time for the review.
In the very least, you'd expect them to have manufactured and released the accessories by the time the actual phone is released.

due to my low post count i cant post this as a link.
have spotted this adaptor for the HTC Flyer, says will be in stock 16/5
I assume this would work guess a little more research needed 1st.
Here you go... It's supposedly the official Samsung Galaxy S II MHL adaptor.

First stock due mid-June just saying.
Can someone confirm for me that this is the same cable. They call it an Ethernet Micro-HDMI (Type D).
Edit: Monoprice[)0Tcom has them for like 5 bucks. I can give the link so you can see the cable once I get some more posts in here.
I'm not worried about the Ethernet part, it should not get in the way because the extra connections for it are female.
Also, there is a lot of great info on these forums. Look forward to sticking around and modding some phones in the future.
Edit 2: So when searching for the Samsung cable by Goog'ling the phone, they call it either "microUSB" or "HML port"
That site has two different types that they call: Mini-HDMI (Type C) and Micro-HDMI (Type D) the type C looks like the usual Samsung cable connection, I was just wondering if there is some different way they wired the Samsung cables so that we had to use those ones. I cannot see them doing that though since there are many devices switching to the same cable as well.
The trick is that standard HDMI so far does not include a link for power. The Samsung MHL adapter has a microUSB plug that connects into the phone and a microUSB jack to connect your charger, and the mini-HDMI jack to hook up to the TV so the device gets charged while playing back. In a future specification update, HDMI will probably be amended to include a power link.
Some info here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtwTcnR0hqA
Clove told me that the MHL cables from different manufacturers will be compatible which is useful to know. I guess they all conform to the standard

Just seen this in the description for the HTC version - interesting
" Also if your television supports MHL enabled HDMI connections, then you can charge your HTC Sensation when connected and control the Sensation using the television remote (MHL enabled televisions expected late 2011)"
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Thats only true if you TV is MHL capable (hint: nobodies is yet).
i dont understand how the phone has is out but the cables are not? how do they know it works if theres no cables lol
Has anyone purchased or researched this yet?
I know that a regular HDMI 25' cable is about $15
http://www.abacus24-7.com/singleProduct.aspx?pid=14762&gclid=CKPRhcrQ4KgCFQzNKgodR39sCQ
But i need the mini HDMI to HDMI
I see ton's of them that are 6', but i want to use in my living room..
Anyone?
Monoprice has a 15' cable for $5.24.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10242&cs_id=1024201&p_id=7649&seq=1&format=2
This is about as long as I have found. You may have to use an extension cable for anything beyond 15'.
A 25' extension cable on Monoprice is $20.

Have you tested it?
Use a standard HDMI long cable and a mini to standard HDMI adapter. Amazon and pretty much everyone else seems to carry the adapters for reasonable prices.

Duh! That's a good idea
Don't know why i didn't think about adapter
Another option (if you got the 3.1 update...) is to use a bluetooth mouse. I do that when I hook my laptop up to the TV. a 15' cable across the living room will definitely aggravate the wife...
One other thought. Is the HDMI out on the Xoom micro or mini? Check on that before buying anything.
micro. I have the 10 foot cable from Monoprice and it works fine
I have the 15' cable from Monoprice and it works fine.
I would be leary of adapters on the Xoom side as that will put added strain on the XOOM connector.
I like the idea of the BT mouse/keyboard. That will solve needing a long HDMI cable. Now I need to buy a short cable as well - gee thanks!
I bought this 50' cable:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QKKAPE
and this adapter:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00481C4RO
Both work great.
I may have to pick up that adapter. Since it has a short cable that will reduce any strain on the Xoom connector.
Thanks!
On second thought, $13 for that adapter is a bit too much. Monoprice has it for $3.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10419&cs_id=1041913&p_id=7603&seq=1&format=2
I'm not trying to push Monoprice, but they do have really good prices and everything I have ordered has worked great and shown up very quickly.
i have the 15' from monoproce and it worls great payed only about 10 bucks
I have the 15ft hdmi as well works great also got 2 15ft micro usb. Didn't spend that much at all compared to other shops.
Monoprice is awesome for cables.
I went with a $4 adapter from China and my xbox HDMI cable yeah I'm cheapo! and a BT keyboard with "integrated joystick-mouse thingy" I had, works nicely.
I posted in another thread about cables compatible with the SG2 and ended up answering my own question when I found one in my box of cables.
See attached for photos if you want to be sure.
Part number 5457 (USB to SG2 connector) is the cable that I have and can confirm that the micro-B type from Monoprice is the same as used on the SG2.
I have a thread on USB OTG cables, already some around that are very cheap and work
be very interested to hear about the other cable there though!
Yeah, the hdmi cable seems to be the one people are looking/waiting for.
I will update the OP once it gets in. If this thread gets buried to far by then, I can send you a pm instead of bumping the thread if you like.
That'd be great, although I expect lots of others will appreciate the bump if it is to confirm they work!

exactly...
Meh, they don't ship to Italy S:
Looking at what they say further they are talking about it connecting a Droid X to your television, and the close up shots of the micro-end of this cable do not resemble a micro USB particularly. I think these won't work.
dude, there is no HDMI, micro HDMI or MICRO USB to HDMI port on this phone, its MHL, dont waste your money on that cable.
Your posted HDMI cable will NOT work as it is micros-HDMI to HDMI and not MicroUSB to HDMI as needed on the SDS2.
The cables were cheap enough that I just ordered a few different ones to try out and see if they worked. With all the gadgets I end up buying, the ones that do not work with the phone will come in handy eventually for something else anyway.
Since there is more interest, I will bump the thread once I find out if the other cables I bought work fro the HDMI.
I got my cables in and can confirm that both the micro and mini HDMI cables are not the same end as the Samsung (micro-usb).
I did contact them, and they stated they are working on making a micro-usb to HDMI cable. There is no eta on availability however. I can let you know when I see them in stock if you like because the prices on these cables are pretty high elsewhere right now and will wait until some cheaper ones are released.
Hi, as you know SGS2 doesn't support video via 3.5mm jack like SGS does, and I was wondering if there's any way of converting HDMI to RCA?
I found this cable:
www .amazon .com/HDMI-RCA-VGA-Cable-1-8ft/dp/B002ZUI68G/ref=pd_cp_e_3
(remove spaces from the link)
but I doubt it would work as you need digital to analog conversion and the cable doesn't seem to have any "black box" that could do it.
Can anyone reccommend any (cheap) ways of connecting SGS2 to TV via RCA using phones USB port?
BTW if Samsung did it same way like they did with SGS it would make peoples lifes so much easier!!!

This is something I have tried and did not work. I bought an MHL adaptor for Samsung S2 and also HDMI to RCA cable with black box. The video and audio did not work with HDMI to RCA cable. Need help here.

From my understanding you need the micro usb mhl to scart then a scart cable going into a hdmi to composite downgrader and then you can hook up the rca cable - I haven't done this as would work out quite expensive but quite sure it would work as your problem is the hdmi to rca cable they never work as don't downgrade signal.
If anyone finds a cheaper way please let me know.
Also wondering if there is anyway to use allshare with apple tv box as I have one of these - if anyone cam help that would be great.
Apologies for highjacking thread a little bit but as a new user I'm unable to post my own thread yet!
Thanks in advance.
