So now that we have all this functionality due to the Froyo update I started thinking about using Skype Video or Qik... First I contemplated using a usb webcam but realized that our micro usb doesnt supply power then I found this..http://www.ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
Now I understand it says it only works with Macs but it is after all a bluetooth device..
Wouldnt it be great if we could use this for video chatting??
Stay tuned folks..

Will a combination of an MHL cable, and a mini displayport/HDMI adaptor enable me to use the note with an iMac at work, with audio supported as well?
I've got a pc at home which is fine, but would like to connect up the Note at work.
This mini displayport/HDMI adaptor is said to work with audio, but I'm not sure if phone audio will be supported:

Thanks in advance for the help!!
Phone audio output is not routed to the MHL port. The "Keystrokes" as you dial the number are but not the audio of the call.
When the MHL cable is attached, the internal cameras are also disabled so you cannot use a the HDMI output to display the image seen by either camera and also prevents the use of a large screen for video calls/conferencing.
I daresay this is more a limitation of Gingerbread than the phone itself. It will be interesting to see if there is more flexibility in ICS.
Nope. I've had it working with CyanogenMod 7 on my LG. It's possible in Gingerbread, perhaps it's Samsung's software that's at fault. As for sound, I have no comment, as I haven't tested it.

Has anyone tried or even had any success recording the output from the HTC MHL adaptor?
I've been trying to record using the HDMI input on a Blackmagic Intensity (video input device) and at 720p60 all I get is a red cross when I should see screen.
I get nothing when I set the device to 1080i/p 24/35/50/60 etc.
Plugging the HDMI cable into a monitor/tv gives me picture with no problems.
Would love to hear any alt ways of recording capturing the screen, menu animations etc.
i sometimes get a red cross even on the tv, try another cable etc have a play around with different combination orders of plugging stuff in etc
maybe this might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNoj8ASYaqo
haven't tried this though..
looks good.. will give MrTechCheese's method a shot
Wow.. didn't think it could be this hard!
The [email protected] java app was lovely, and worked very nicely with my SGSII, but wouldn't capture more than a frame every 20-30 seconds on the HTC OneX ... higher-res screen is to blame methinks.
So.. to try and record the screen I installed Screencast Video Recorder and that won't work, because it isn't compatible with Tegra3 devices (yet)
The HDMI input I have for FinalCutPro is pretty much refusing to show a picture ... no matter what combo of leads/settings I use. I think there is some HDCP encryption built into the HDMI out of the phone.
Can anyone else think of anything I haven't tried?!
Have you thought of researching ways of working around the hdcp(assuming it is hdcp) from the pc end? This is only a guess, but maybe you can spoof it being a normal tv ?

With Nexus 10 developers released a ROM that disabled HDCP, haven't seen anyone attempt to do that with the One X which is a shame, spent £140 on recording hardware before i realised it had HDCP
Hey guys,
Been having a blast messing with my GSIII for the past couple weeks and recently got AOKP jellybean version rom flashed on the phone and everything is working flawlessly but I've noticed that when I plug the mhl converter it automatically goes into landscape mode unless I open an app then it goes back to portrait. This is causing a bunch of glitches mostly from going back from landscape to portrait.
The primary use of the mhl is as a car dock/connection. It seems wherever I ask I'm told to simply get a Bluetooth connection to the system but I'm really not willing to sacrifice the sound quality and the somewhat flaky connection.
In order to get the phone to connect and play properly I've had to run the following setup.
1. 2m mhl converter(ebay one i also have the samsung mhl but use that at home due to ****ty/clunky wiring but they work equally well and both display the same glitches.
2. HDMI to RCA converter
3. PAC-NIS2 AUX audio input
This entire setup going to the back of the oem infiniti g35 (2004) head unit via the SAT port.
Is there any way around automatic landscape mode upon connection.
Thanks for any assistance.

Can someone make kernel or tell me how to do this, maybe thru some kind of converter or something like that?
1080p/24Hz is chopy for games so maybe this can be done by software or hardware fix??
There is similar kernel but for One S so I belive this can be done for note 2.
Pls help this is realy big issue for mhl/tv output and i didnt find any solution on web how to make this happen on note 2.
I'm to having same issue.
Choppy with the dock. My GNex works so smoothly compared and it's half the phone although it is rooted.
I'd be very excited to known if a custom kernel can fix this. I've posted something similar already in this thread.
Cheers guys.

I hope for the fix to, it a shame that this isnt implemented like and option in stock software. One again please devs or anybody help us with this problem :crying:
Going to try to fix this thru vga pc because in my tv manual says I can select resolution myself thru this input (RGB PC only).
Maybe you too can do something with this.
Well i cant post links so this is what I will test with my Note2:
RED Galaxy S3 SIII i9300 i9308 MHL Micro USB 11pin to HDTV HDMI
HDMI Female to Female F/F Coupler Extender Adapter Connector
Gold HDTV HDMI to VGA HD15 3 RCA Adapter Cable 5ft
When tested will report here... still hoping for kernel modification of some kind...
I have a N7100 and a smart dock this has been my experience:
HDMI -> DVI adapter plugged into a Dell U2312HM via DVI (HDCP compliant):
- Stuck at 720x480 resolution no matter what.
- When mouse and external display is connected there is a drop in frame rate. However, if the mouse OR the external display are connected seperately the FPS remains high.
HDMI cable to my 26" Westinghouse 1080P TV (HDCP compliant but constantly has handshaking issues):
- Appears to display at 1080p or at least scaled up 720p though I set my TV in 1:1 and there are no black bars so I suspect 1080p.
- When mouse and external display is connected there is a drop in frame rate. However, if the mouse OR the external display are connected seperately the FPS remains high.
It seems that there is a bug in the code that has to do with when the phone enters that "desktop mode." There also seems to be a bug when using an adapter for some reason as well. The N7100 seems to act completely differently than my PS3. My PS3 connects wonderfully using the same adapter and the same Dell monitor, no handshaking issues. Though my PS3 to get sound out of the TV's speakers I have to mute and then unmute the TV to get sound anytime the HDMI link is closed and then reopened (starting a game for example). While it seems the N7100 behaves oppositely.
Update on my Gold HDTV HDMI to VGA HD15 3 RCA Adapter Cable 5ft combination is not working the device dont check connection thru hdmi rgb input (no signal or notification of connection). So I belive only hdmi input/output works with note 2. Once again pls help us regarding this option to lock device on 720p output thru hdmi.
man i really need this force 720p playback option as well...
My usb ports are dead. Wifi also.
Everything else is working fine so it's not a big problem
The only thing I'm missing is my dashcam.
Is there an app to record using AV Input ?
