Hello folks,
I found this dock on the mobilefun website.
It says it has HDMI, and i'm verry curious if this realy works! Did someone bought this, or can somebody confirm that this dork works?
Or should i buy this dock instead and buy a MHL cable with it to connect it to my TV?
No, it seemed not to be compatible with any case, so I won't buy~~~

I would buy the 1st one with HDMI built-in if your going to output to these device types. The 2rd unit is good for chaging a second battery.
What the OP was saying its not suited for them as it will not fit with a case on the SGS2. in the dock!
Thanks for the link as I was just about to place an order for the 2rd unit...

I think with this genuine samsung battery cradle dock you just have to use a 5pin mini usb to hdmi cable
sent from my 2.3.3|dxkg3 DJGalaxy S2
I saw that dock the other day too and Im very tempted, just need to wait until pay day at the end of the week!
If you're going to be using an MHL cable, I think you might as well buy that dock, works out cheaper than buying a dock and MHL cable separately, plus it looks kinda cool
Really want to read a review of it though as well, if anybody has bought one, any info would be massively appreciated.
well, ive bought a spare battery so the 2-in-1 charger would be verry handy, but on the other side, a dock with hdmi output would be awesome to, i just dont know if it works because the dock should have an "build-in mhl system" if you know what i mean.. so im waiting till someone reviews the first dock i posted

Thats what Ive been thinking. It must surely have MHL built in though or the HDMI would be completely pointless. Roll on pay day, can always send it back if it doesnt work lol

Bump,
I'm currently looking for a dock that also has HDMI out, so thought I'd bump this thread... Has anyone found one ?
I was about to order the original Samsung MHL > HDMI adapter from Amazon, but I'll hold off on the order as what I really want is a dock that has it build it..
Thanks and sorry if this has been answered already ( I have been searching t'internet for a few hours for an answer.. )

i ordered one from nicecans last night, its £17.99 delivered and seems Kidigi branded and looks the same one from OP first link. says stock from 11th Oct so will see if it actually comes through.
Thanks Zulm,
I'd be interested if you can post a quick review when you get it, hopefully you'll have it in a day or 2.
I've just had a look on their site and it does look very nice and if it works for you, then I'll get the same one.
Cheers

Got a "Despatched" email on Monday but still nothing in the post, stills says no stock on nice can website. Give it a day or two more before I chase it.
Good stuff, fingers crossed !
Hmm nothing today either. I wish I had searched for the retailer before ordering, they don't sound the most trusted deliverer of goods!

Well well wonders never cease, it turns up today!
..it works! Come with a USB and power adapter but this doesn't have to be used I connected it to my Dell monitor via a standard USB cable that came with the S2. My Dell has no sound out so could not test that and it is only 1680x1050 native res but HMDI did work. I will test on my Sony TV later on and see how that goes.
---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------
Few annoying things I've found already
- when connected via HMDI to a non-native 1080p display it seems to constantly try to sync with the display with the picture disappearing for a few second then reappearing. It doesn't seem to stabilize even after leaving it for a while. This happens on my Dell monitor and my Sony HDTV (D4000) when connected via HDMI both are non-1080p devices. On my other Samsung 1080p TV the TV-out picture is solid and stable and doesn't have these sync issues. I guess this is probably the case for all MHL cables out there and not necessarily a problem with this dock but problem with firmware/software? Is there TV out configuration tool that can be used to sort these HMDI sync issues?
- the USB on the dock is for charge only - it doesn't get recognized on your PC when connected by USB.

Is it really so, that it can't be used to sync phone with PC?
The PC doesn't recognize it at all, or is there driver missing?

The PC doesn't recognize it all, on the back of the dock it says "DC in 5V" - so I assume the USB is used to power the dock only.

Anyone know if Apple's 30 pin connector works with the SGT? They look similar, and keep appearing in search results for one another. If so, the 30-pin to hdmi dongle (I'm n00b & cannot post links but it's on Amazon for $44.99) for the ipad2 should work, no? And if so, scoffing the price and the number of cords/connections required to get this going.
No, Apple adapters are not compatible. Yes, they are both 30-pin adapters, but those 30 pins are mapped out differently, making them proprietary.

ok, I got so excited I went and bought the dock. And it doesn't work, maybe there is a way to get it to, but it just goes to dock mode and never displays. I have tried multiple displays and no go. Anyone want to figure this out? I have a $10 donation to you, waiting.

Very good point .. and I found out all the 7" tab stuff works on the 10.1 adaptor

15 Jul 2011 :lol:
I didn't plug it in. I will try with the ac adapter when I get to work. I flashed the touchwiz rom so if it works I won't know if touchwiz helps.
ok. Works! Needs to be plugged in to the AC adapter but I don't know if you must have touchwiz. I am betting you must considering that without you get the dock constantly running when you press home. This does not do that.
Hehe good ! And i dont think you need touchwizz to make it work, did it fit the whole screen perfectly ?

It does not fit 1080 screens fully. Touchwiz keeps the home button displaying when on the television and fills what it can. Different than what the xoom does. But it does probably fit a full screen 720.

Hmm .. mine display fullscreen .. and I noticed on the youtube video when you play movies .. the tab is blank while the HDMI is running ..
mine displays on both .. ??
great job guys you really make work easier for everyone. Will hit thank you for all.
I flashed the bonsai rom to check and see if the experience was any different. It too shows the bar at the bottom. With the zoom I was annoyed the bar was not there. But when it is there it does not fit the screen fully. I hope that becomes a choice in the future updates. Also, seems flash staggers when using HDMI. Maybe just something that is holding off the real updates from Samsung.
Just got my OEM MHL HDMI Adapter (Ebay $11...US seller for OEM, that's a steal)...it's pretty spectacular...just streamed the watch espn app onto the TV without a cable box...impressive. The adapter essentially mirrors your phone with everything you do including orientation. Only downside is that you need to hook up a charger to the device to enable the adapter...but with the battery drain you could expect without the charger I guess it makes sense.

It depends on what you're playing...an HD recorded video...smooth. I was streaming Watch ESPN and it was a little pixelated, but that was how it was on the phone.
I decided to jump in when I saw the OEM one for $11, up to you though (it is pretty cool being able to whip that out and show off your phone at a friends house)
I did find some other auctions this guys is selling at that price...I hope it's ok that I post them
if this link sells out I guess just look in his shop for more

^^Same here. $17 IIRC. works well. have to plug charger into adapter before plugging into phone. a shame it wont work without a charger.
has anyone tried and external USB battery with it? would be more convenient.
The one I got off eBay (the linked one) is exactly the same as the picture posted above, including the instructions. It even came with the protective plastic wrap (brand new) around the shiny plastic pieces.
The charger plugs into the HDMI side of the HDMI adapter. (Makes a "T")
I've actually taken a microUSB cable and plugged it into my XBOX 360 and I'm using that to power the phone/adapter.

Note that it won't play the videos you've taken with the phone. Unless your tv supports the format.
But everything else like mp3's, pics, youtube, games, and whatever else you have.
I just simply stream to my ps3 or my TV.

Had a similar issue. Found that one of my cables didn't work. Reported and tried a different cable and it worked. I suggest testing the audio to see if the cable is at least working that way. If so, try rebooting the phone. If that doesn't work try a different cable. Seems to be a bit picky. Question for other users, when running a video, does your cable stop charging? Sorta sucks that we need to plug in charger yet it doesn't even charge.
Just got one today from a friend (he had 2 and just gave me one). It works great, I played family Guy from the media hub and it played flawless.

First and foremost make sure you have a charger plugged in...use an OEM one before switching to something else to verify it works.
Just reboot the phone, then plug in the HDMI cable to the adapter and give it a second...it usually take 3-10 seconds to pop up on the screen. If you are having problems with the stream just unplug the 3 sections at the HDMI hub (where it plugs into the phone, where the charger plugs in, and where the HDMI plugs in) 1 at a time, this has worked for me as if I'm flipping between inputs on the TV sometimes the phone isn't instantly read. Also I read in the Dev forum the anyone using the Cyanogen Rom currently is unable to stream via HDMI. I'm using Bombardier and its working like buttah.
anyone know where i can buy one in canada? lol. all the ebay links i've seen ship to states only!

Hey. As my G Tab 10.1 making its way the my home from the USA in these days, I want to buy a USB adatper. I looked at Ebay and I found a lot of generic USB adapters, which cost about 5 $ and the Samsung Genuine adapter at about 20 $. Is there realy a different between a genuine one to a generic one?
Only real difference is build quality, they work just the same.
Thanks. I think I will go for the generic one. Is there a chance it will damage my device?
I suppose any thing unofficial has the potential to do some damage, shorting something out etc... But I think you'll be extremely unlucky if that happened, as I'm sure they sell them to 100s if not 1000s people and not only for one type of tablet.
Swyped from my finger, to your face on my Samsung Galaxy Note, using Tapatalk!
I just got a bunch ordered off eBay and they were only 1 amp. Tablets will not charge on 1A without a hack (galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-enable-usb-charging-on-your-computer-and-all-usb-charging-adapters-on-your-galaxy-tab-10-1/) but I suspect you will ruin your battery that way, Samsung disabled it for a reason I would imagine.

$30 gets an SD and USB OEM reader. That does not break the bank for most of us. I bought an extra after market power cored, longer than the stock one. Does not charge when hooked up to the PC and yes, I've rooted the USB script to charge when hooked up to the PC. Yet the stock power cored works fine.
Go figure. From now on I'm a OEM purchaser with the exception of brand names like Logitec and others.

I got one back in December and I have to say, I really like it. At first I was afraid it was not going to work, but once it arrived and I tried it with my sandisk flash drive 8gb and my other 3 flash drives. I was really happy with the outcome and how easy it is to use it.
I see a lot of these on Amazon. Does anyone have a preference or know of a better brand (of the 3rd party type).

I have the SGS2 world version (GT-I9100). Does the micro-USB connector on the bottom align up with all the other variants of this phone (Tmo, AT&T, Sprint..ect)? Do all of those have the plug in the same place?
EDIT sorry the pic is so big. I didn't know that before I posted...
EDIT #2 Reading a quick review of the Menotek adapter on Amazon, one of the complaints was its limitation of 720p output. Is that true? Cant the SGS2 output in 1080p?
Personally i'd just buy the cheapest MHL adaptor you can find. It's just a cable so why pay a fortune for it.
It's not just a cable -- there are some electronics inside (that's why they need a charger input).
Have you ordered one yet? I'd be interested in knowing which is the best option and weather there's any reason to avoid the really cheap ones?
gonna grab myself a cheap one of these adaptors and get my emulator groove on, on the big screen.. though god knows how gba games are going to look at 32inches...probably not great.
No.is only cable.
I got official samsung and it is working fine
I have the first one, if your phone is not in airplane mode the screen on your tv often goes completely black. You have to reconnect the mhl cable to display the screen on your tv again. Annoying when watching videos but putting your phone into airplane mode fixes this completely.
Quality is great, downloading a movie and watching it looks incredible, full HD. However if you plan on watching youtube videos on your TV, I suggest you download the app TubeMate, it allows you to stream YT videos in a much higher quality than the standard app.

I have used one of these but not branded.
But I am not so sure about what RCP is for as it is wired and provides no additional gadget for "remote control".
And it's only $13 elsewhere.

You have to connect the Samsung charger to power it (although i haven't tested it without the charger to see if it still works). The phone battery seems to drain really fast with the MHL outputting via HDMI, and gets a little warm also, both cores doing their bit no doubt.
Have to say i'm very happy with, and the CEC function (if your tv supports it) is the icing on the cake. With it, you can use your tv's remote (or any ALL in One as in my case [Logitech]) to control the phone navigation, you can play games using the remotes d-pad, and use it to click on items in the menu, or on the internet, rewind, pause and fast forward videos.
I too had the screen blacking out on me as one person mentioned earlier, espcially when playing games, I'll try and see what flight mode does for it, but my conclusions where a less than perfect HDMI cable, as when i tested it on my brothers tv it worked flawlessly without a single blackout (Using a HDMI cable supplied with his SKY+ box).
Might have to buy one of these but i'm still looking for a solution to sending audio NOT over the HDMI since I don't have a HDMI input on my monitors, only DVI. Either over analogue 3.5mm out or bluetooth would be fine!
I think the reason it drains the battery still is because it is using the data pins to send the video. For fast charge these pins would usually be shorted and you can't have both. (That's my understanding anyway!)
I have bought on ebay 1 cable mhl + 1 cable micro usb --> USB femal for only 15€
But the max resolution of mhl is 720p
Cheap MHL cable
I bought my MHL cable from deal extreme for around $13.00. Not only did i get a samsung branded (probably fake) MHL cable, it came with a USB OTG cable and a USB retractable cable too. So far, all 3 seems to work fine and not too expensive

Ha! I just bought the same package today
Can you output video at full 1080p with this one?
I'm quite keen to get one of these but will be upgrading to the Galaxy S3 sometime soon. Does anyone know whether these MHL cables will be compatible with the new S3 as well?
Thanks.

Of course... that's why you have a Samsung and not an iPhone.

Personally i'd just buy the cheapest MHL adaptor you can find. It's just a cable so why pay a fortune for it.

I actually did by the cheapest MHL adapter I could find on ebay and it works like a charm. Cost me around 6 € including shipping.
hi guys.
why cant we use the camera app when using the MHL function?...is it a hardware restriction?...i was using cm9 and when i start the camera with the adapter plugged in then close the camera app ,for a second the camera screen shows up on the tv.....if its hardware restricted then it would not do that at all...
on my mhl cable only outputs 1080i,is it adaptors fault?

Well, is there?
I want to know this too. Can't see giving up a major feature like HDMI out.
Also, is there a ROM beside stock ROM which has IR blaster working?
According to the latest commit of V500 CM11 repo, it should be working now.
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_v500/commits/cm-11.0
But I can't test for now cause I don't have Slimport cable.

Hopefully, somebody who's using CM will test this and let us know if it works.

Indeed. It definitely works, and to be sure I just watched a YouTube video, fullscreen, on my TV. It took a bit to establish a connection, going through some "unknown format" phases, but it connected allright and was perfectly stable and smooth.

Has anybody tested it on Malladus? From what I understand, that's based on the LG stock rom.

Yes, I did, and it works. To be fair, I stayed on Malladus for some weeks, because it was the only rom with proper hdmi streaming.
works on CM11
It works on my LG G Pad with the CM 11 nightly cm-11-20140119-NIGHTLY-v500.zip ROM

Wow, truly interesting! Which cable did you use? Would it be possible to see a demonstration? :cyclops:
I have mentioned that in the G Pad Accessories Forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569809&page=2
I bought one in Hong Kong !
It's NOT an Adapter, it's a direct micro USB to HDMI male plug Cable !!! with optional micro usb plug for charging !!!
HKD - $200 = around USD $25 - 26
Well... I don't want to setup my HTC One and shoot video of my LG G Pad and my 27" Dell Monitor.
What I did is, just plug in the HDMI and micro USB, and it works, it do take around 2 seconds to display the G Pad content on the Monitor.
But it run smoothly afterwards. with sound output from through HDMI also.

That's weird. You're saying that you're seeing direct HDMI out with a micro USB to HDMI cable? I didn't think that the G Pad was capable of that. What rom are you using?
Can you give us a picture of just the cable?
What the ???
I am just sharing my own experience, and you don't believe it ?
maybe I missed something, I am using a SLIMPORT to HDMI CABLE !!!! Male micro USB plug to Male HDMI Plug !!!
You don't believe that because you haven't seen this before ??
Do a simple search IN GOOGLE !! Search PICTURE or PHOTOS, and then type "Slimport to HDMI CABLE" !!! That's it !!

Slimport micro USB to HDMI Cable !!!
Any Special settings needed in CM11?
This cable does not work on the 20 Jan CM11. Unless there are some special settings.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LAZG2M/
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWHPGJQ/ (Using this only when using S3)
EDIT: I flashed back to rooted Stock and the cable does not work with that ROM either.
The cable does work with KitKat in OG Galaxy Nexus (ShinyROM) and with Galaxy S3 with CleanROM 7 (based on Samsung Stock).
Looks like the G Pad is very picky which cable works. This is a drawback of the LG I guess.

You are using an MHL cable... The G Pad has a Slimport, not MHL port.
Thanks, This explains the difference. http://blog.clove.co.uk/2013/11/07/mhl-v-slimportwhat-is-the-difference/
Another money grab for accessory companies!

You did miss something. You didn't describe it as a Slimport adapter. You said that it wasn't an adapter but a direct micro USB to HDMI cable. That's not the same thing as a Slimport adapter. Now, you are contradicting yourself by saying that it is, indeed, a Slimport adapter and not a direct micro USB to HDMI cable. I'm sure that this is just a language issue on your part, but maybe you can see why I was confused by your post.

Your eyes have problem ???
It's NOT an Adapter !!! It's an CABLE !!! AM I RIGHT ???
It's Male micro USB to Male HDMI . If it is an ADAPTER, then, extra additional USB CABLE IS needed !, RIGHT ?
ALSO, I admitted that I missed saying that it's slimport port to HDMI, but I didn't SAY IT ISN'T !!!!
My language have problem or yours ??? Please read every sentence !!!
