Nice!

there ya go lol^
thats totally awesome
i really need one of these that has 2 USBs tho, so i can connect a regular keyboard, and regular mouse, so i dont have to buy a bluetooth keyboard/mouse..
i wonder if a usb splitter would work
can MHL be added on top of this?

Wow this is awesome! Pure madness
I wonder whether any other phone able to do this besides our SIII...

Very nice
Who's going to be the Guinea pig then

Old 7day shop USB hub worked for me with OTG ... keyboard, mouse, and memory stick. Gonna try it with powered hard drive next

nice! if it only had hdmi out too. But I dont think the micro usb slot can handle otg and mhl simultaneously.

This in conjunction with the WiFi Display Hub will be fantastic.

OTG has been around for a while now....
Here's me rocking it on my S2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCrecOR34Fs&feature=g-upl

I know Samsung made the 11 pin micro USB to use MHL and OTG accessories the same time because it was impossible before, and everyone says you can't use both over a normal hub so when the Hell is Samsung gonna release an accessory to do that, because they have delays on Allshare cast, MHL converter adapter(in some countries) and you can't game on Tv with wired controller, mouse, keyboard etc until Samsung bother to release it all, I mean I'm really getting pissed off having a phone capable of so much but right now just feels like an S2 with a bigger screen.

I got the connection kit for the Galaxy S3, it is infact made for the Galaxy S2, but works perfectly fine on the Galaxy S3.
Here is a review I did of it and the MHL adaptor. Sadly they didn't work together(one can wish)
http://geektech.ie/index.php/review-galaxy-s3-accessories/

So that HDMI adapter not work with Connection kit?

Some please answer the above question. I want to use the microusb port to charge the phone and still use the other ports for mouse/keyboard/flashdrive/etc.
Also, it looks awkward to have large thing hanging off the phone so will this still work through a microusb extension cable?

Can you confirm that you can use one usb port to charge the phone while using the other port for OTG? I recently asked this question on MobileFun's video on this product and someone seemingly from the company says it can't.

Powered USB OTG adapter

Has anyone come across a USB OTG adapter that can also be used to charge the Note 10.1? I wouldn't want it to require power, but if there were an optional ability to plug the power cable into the USB adapter, it would allow charging and use of the USB device at the same time...
regards,

OP, you can charge the GN 10.1 while using OTG cables if you have the special Samsung dock for the GN 10.1, which is expensive and hard to find right now; this special dock has an additional 30 PIN connector in the back into which you can plugh OTG cables.

Where does the charger connect here?

This is just a stand. There is no usb or mhl port here.

That's a shame
Thanks, guys...

I just order the Juiced OTG.
The reviews on Amazon say it works with the Note 10.1 and there are a few YouTube videos of people using it with their Note 10.1. You have to use a micro USB cable and not the Samsung USB cable to charge it.

Oh, I like that. Thanks! Just ordered one from Amazon UK. Looks identical, £1.39 delivered. I have no idea how they can possibly sell it so cheaply but since amazon is underwriting it I guess I can't lose... Amazing!

The best option would be to get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and allshare. This way you can have the Note plugged while using all the rest. And when you want to use a usb you unplug it and then plug it again. This is what I do. It is quite expensive to get all the above but at least they work.

The Ekit is the identical item of the Juiced USB OTG
Amazon UK sell them here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/eKit-Connection-Compatible-Galaxy-10-1/dp/B006LWAR9U
I've got one out for dispatch.

Where can I get a MHL adapter? Link?

Does anyone have an idea where I can get the MHL hdmi adapter for my gt8013?
I saw one on ebay but i'd rather buy from a store or amazon..
Thanks
and any word on a multimedia dock?

Bump - I want one too but don't want to pay £30!!
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Likewise i've just seen the price of the adapter, what on earth!? There's no way i'm paying that I assumed it was much the same deal as MHL to microusb and fairly low cost.
Is there really not a non-Samsung version that is significantly cheaper? or maybe a DIY method!

As far as I can tell (from buying cables that were unsuitable) the only cable that will work to connect your Note to your tv is the HDTV adapter
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-3PHPBEGXAR
or similar for your country. PCWorld in the UK sell them for £12.99 (epl-3phpbeg) if you can find stock or a salesperson who actually knows what you are asking for. I found mine in the tv section with all the Smart tv accessories.

That PC World price must be for the wrong item but searching for that code has brought up a handful of retailers selling it for near £22. Still too much imo when it's clearly not too different from the countless <£5 microusb versions!
Maybe i'll come across a used one some day.

They aren't on the website. Best to call a store. Or visit. Found mine in the Samsung Smart tv accessories section, nowhere near the computer department.

I have that adapter and just bought the (more expensive) Allshare Cast Dongle.
With the adapter one should keep in mind that a (more or less) long HDMI cable is necessary to connect the adapter to the TV/beamer/monitor.
The Dongle works wireless and can be just put beside the display device.

I'm looking for something I could connect my tab to HDMI, maybe a USB, and could charge it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

How well does the connector work? is this the same story like on galaxy s3, that the framerate is halfed down, or does it run at 30fps, cause I dont want to throw away another 25 euros for an adapter, that doesnt even work properly. -.-

ive looked at the media docks for the 10" Tabs on amazon and their TV out potential but I havent found anything conclusive in regards to their performance with the Notes.

the galaxy tab (og galaxy tab) dock is only $18 on amazon and works fine with the gn101. just gotta be modded to prop it up.

Well forget what I asked for before can anybody find me a HDMI adapter?

the place where i ordered the MHL adapter canceled my order, go figure.
So I bought the OG samsung tab dock, dremeled off the sides a bit and it fits perfect. I don't have the right hdmi cable to test that part out, but so far it works fine (charging, sync, and audio through the headphone jack on the dock.)
Was only 10 on craigslist.
win.

I picked up the hdmi cable and it works perfectly.
I get 56fps using fps2d to test.
This is pretty cool.

AppRadio2 from Pioneer

Ok, so did some checking, apparently i need a specific cable to use my phone with the AppRadio2,
And an app called ARLiberator...checked the market and it is 35 frikkin dollars for the app.
Is this serious? 35 dollars? Holy cow, i could understand 10 bucks, but 35 dollars for an app?
Before I go any further with this, are there any Note 2 users out there with Pioneer's AppRadio2 and the Note 2 combined that would like to share feedback?
35 damn dollars.....better iron my shirts, cook breakfast, and wash my car every saturday lol
Seriously, any users out there that can shed some light on how it works would be great.

That's cheap. My boy bought the radio and had to buy cable from them and it was like 80 bucks

Well there is a proprietary 11 pin connector we need for our Note 2 to work with it.
Honestly I was just shocked at an app being 35 dollars. Makes me wish there was a free version so i could trial it out and see what I would be working with on my Note 2 and that AppRadio.
(I have the Pioneer AVH-8400BH, which only works with iOS. which is why i wanna get the Appradio if this app really unlocks the awesome potential...)

Tried their cable, the cable they want me to use, which is the one you listed, is a 5 pin cable, which doesn't work with the Note 2. In fact the cable works with VERY few phones.
I think i may have found a solution, if it works, i'll post it up so if anyone runs into the same situation they have a place to hopefully get things fingered out.

I thought you had to get a Samsung mhl that connects to the phone
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

The connector they sell is only a 5 pin, which is why their supported android list is very slim, SGS2 and such, the new Samsung phones use a newer 11 pin Micro USB so the MHL cable for the pioneer kit doesnt work, you have to get the adaptor that converts from 5 to 11 pin.
Mine should be here on tuesday. Outside of XDA im still researching and figuring out what works and what doesnt, and the MHL adaptor that pioneer sells absolutely does not work out of the box with our note 2 or the S3.
I have heard some people complain that the phone slows down because of the demand the connection puts on to mimic the phone on the headunit, but the Note has more power than it knows what to do with so that shouldn't be a problem.

Questions and help issues go in Q&A

One source for a not too expensive MHL adapter
FWIW, while I know there are cheap MHL connectors on Ebay, I just bought one at Frys for $25 that had a little adapter for the S3/Note 2. Worked just fine with my TV.

I found that with my Note 2 I had to use the little adapter, which implies that all the pins we need are in a regular 5 pin just not accessible on the Note 2.
Note that the MHL adapter only works if you provide power to it via the microusb port, and one thing that someone mentioned in one of the Youtube videos was that the power requirements of the Note 2 was kinda high. He initially used a garden variety power source, but got bad cutting out, and when I tried mine at home I had the same results when powering from the computers USB port. Switching to the Samsung power source that came with the phone fixed it.
I think the Pioneer car kit linked above would work if we had the little 11>5 pin adapter, and might actually provide enough power, since it looks like it has direct to 12v connections. I'll probably just go to the local electronics parts shop and buy a 12V>2a 5v voltage convertor, or just build one, but if I didnt have the MHL connector already I'd consider the Pioneer one and finding the 11>5 pin adapter.
The nice Samsung computer dock would probably also work, and hold your phone.

HDMI out on AOSP ROMs

Just curious if anyone knows how to do this. I have a usb to hdmi adapter which I used for hdmi out on the stock Rom, but I have not figured out a kernel/Rom or program which lets me use it on aosp. Any help would be appreciated.

I have mhl cable and it works with vanilla rootbox.

Works for me as well but I'm only getting 720p output for games and apps, haven't tried vids yet, but can anyone confirm that they get 1080p while running an app or game?

I'm using rootbox myself and the cable I use isn't working. Is the cable you're using one continuous cable, or is it an adapter which u plug a usb cable into one end which changes the other end to hdmi?

Its a straight through with battery supply. Got it off amazon for $13

Mine has a slot for a usb charger. Fuzzy does your cable output 1080p for games and apps?

I will get back to you on that after I put my son to bed
