Almost bought one, the good thing is you don't need a micro hdmi cable, it uses a standard hdmi cable.

Nice, from the photos it looked like the HDMI cable it comes with was a normal HDMI one rather than a mini or micro (or whatever they're called, type D or something).

I got mine. Yes it uses standard hdmi. I love it.

I don't see what this would get you over a micro hdmi cable from
monoprice.com for $6.

The ability to keep the dock near your home theater / tv? And not look like ****?...
I want a dock like this with USB for the 'puter.

The dock does have USB (micro) on the back as well...

Bought one yesterday unboxing video is up on YouTube right now
Just look up my user name jaseX313 its my newest video
I'll post up here later tonight

I got one Friday and am having sound issues.
If I attach my phone to the dock, I am unable to hear any sounds after disconnecting it. It affects both the speaker and Bluetooth sound.
The only way I have found to get the sound back is to shut it off and on again.
I am not sure if it is app related, but I suspect not.

yes the hdmi cable included is standard.

I picked one up yesterday. I like the construction. It feels sturdy unlike the parts you buy shipped from China on ebay. The phone fits nicely.
The price is a bit much (it should be only $20), but I guess because you get that cable it makes it worth it.

Does it put the phone in dock mode when plugged in?

Nope, if you wanted it to, there was a thread somewhere on xda about grounding a usb pin to enable dock mode when plugged in,search google for it

MHL Adapter for Nitro HD

Now for all you Nitro HD users who didn't know that it is possible to stream video through the Micro USB port, well yes you can That port is actually a MHL port (Mobile High-def Link), which combines both Micro USB and HDMI features together, and all you need is a MHL adapter to connect your phone to your HDTV and stream movies while having your phone charged.
Now my question goes to those who know about these things. Any idea which MHL adapter is compatible with this phone, or can we use any adapter from any maker? And also, has anybody tried using the MHL capability on this phone?

Well, one would think it wouldn't be proprietary based on the fact that all MHL enabled phones use this as a standard now. I have used a MHL cable from an HTC Raider on a Galaxy S II and it worked just fine.

Does anyone else hear a slight grinding/grainy noise when you plug in the Micro USB? It always makes me feel like I'm breaking it.

any mhl adapter should work.
i use the mhl adapter from samsung infuse and it works! but remember to plug in power for it to works.

plug in power? what do you mean? I thought the whole idea behind mhl is that your phone will get charged via hdmi while streaming through it.

I think if the tv supports mhl mode then you don't need to plug in power.
If tv just has hdmi port then you need to plug in power.
The mhl adapter has microusb port for power input.

Which one and where?

Mine should be arriving on Thursday - just grabbed one of the many off amazon...

So my bro got me an Accell MHL adapter for Christmas and I'm finding it doesn't work with my phone. It doesn't even provide a charge. I'm thinking its physical dimensions are such that the connector into the phone doesn't go in far enough (kinda LG's fault for making the port recessed, kinda their fault for making the connector so damn fat). So, if you guys find one that works for cheap, do you think you could hit us with a link?
TL/DR, Accell's doesn't work, please post ones that do

it needs power for mhl to works. did you try to reboot the phone after you plug in mhl and power input for mhl? i tried on samsung infuse mhl adapter and it works!

Yeah, I provided power and performed every possible sequence of hooking it all up that I could think of and also rebooted several times. I really think it's the form factor of the Accell connector combined with our slightly recessed port that causes it to not go in far enough. I just need someone to give me a suggestion of a brand to buy that they know firsthand works well with our P930.

It looks like that item is no longer available. I'm ordering B005NTHXYY, it's $9.19 and Prime eligible.

I can confirm that the MHL adapter that came packaged with the Samsung Infuse works great with the Nitro.

After connecting my MHL adaptor and HDMI cable to my TV how do I activate MHL?

You should not have to start anything, make sure you have power to the MHL adapter, plug it in to the phone , make sure the TV's input is set correctly, and plug it in to the TV ... If that does not work , either the ROM you are using is broken, the MHL adapter is broken, the HDMI cable is bad, or the TV input is broken, or some combination there of ......

Wow I didn't even notice this phone didn't have an HDMI settings tab my POS g2x had a few options haha just saying

[Q] Juggernaut v4.1 [Vultures Edition][Team Kang][12.27.2011]

My HDMI adapter does not work on this ROM. Is there a work around?
Which bluetooth keyboards are popular with this ROM?

make sure you have the correct MHL to HDMI adapter, it's not just any microUSB to HDMI
i only use the onscreen keyboard, don't like to carry an extra keyboard with me

The adapter works on a few ROMS as well as stock ROMS. There is something about this ROM that is flawed. Could this be a setting.

It works fine for me, there is no setting. What ever is on your phone is on your TV. And like AG said you need the MHL adapter.

Would you mind telling me what mhl adapter you have? I have the minotek brand, and it cuts in and out when I'm displaying on my TV. I'm hoping it's because I got a cheap adapter, but am worried something is wrong with the micro usb port on my phone.

I have an official Samsung MHL adapter. Works fine on Juggernaut, though it's a bit wonky getting detection to work in the first place. Sometimes have to unplug various cables and plug them in again to get it to detect.

Thanks - I think I'll get an OEM one and see if it resolves my issue. Thanks again!

Mine is no problem. This rom has long life battery than the other one I has used.

Can't get it to work. I will reflash this rom. Does the Bluetooth keyboard work with this rom?

I have a sony 32" lcd tv. I was wondering if it would work with it? My allowable resolutions are 720p and 1080i.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

I am selling mine, it just doesn't work good with tv's.
On my Panasonic and my Sharp lcd tv it doesn't gives full screen, the edges are cut and that sucks.
Doesn't matter what Screen settings I try, no 100% of the S3 is displayed.
Auto scale, normally is the best setting, but not working out for this adapter.
For gaming it isn't such a big deal, but when your notification bar is only half visible and the apps been cut on the aidea and bottom, that is irritating.
I looked for reviews on Youtube and you will see many people with this problem, also many where it works just fine but the problem is in the adapter or the S3 which isn't working as it should do.

By any chance have you tried this with a USB hub / OTG cable to see if you could hook up a drive AND the MHL adapter?
Thanks!

Two question:
Are there any settings that i have to do first if i wanna connect the phone with my tv?
Can i see immediatly the screen at the boot time of the phone? And see it also in recovery or download mode?
thanks

When you plug in the adapter and connect it with the hdmi cable you will directly see the it, there are not settings for the mhl cable on the S3

This has been tried and it doesn't work.
Latest idea is hooking it up to an MHL enabled tv(meaning power coming this way) and use the USB port on the adapter for otg.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Well that ain't gonna work, the usb has only power as far as I know...
So you can try that, but the MHL adapter is not designed to use it like that. It needs the power via the usb connector.
But maybe, maybe you can get power via tv...

Yeah, newer TVs are designed to charge via MHL, though not sure if the official Samsung adapter supports it.

If you have an MHL enabled tv, the power comes from the tv so the USB on the adapter doesn't need to be used for power, hence I said you could try to connect and otg cable there instead.
It you have an MHL enabled tv then you don't need an adapter but just a cable like this instead

I know, but I don't think the charge port will work as otg....
As far as I know it is only for charge, and doesn't have the rest of the usb working.
I even doubt if when it has a full functional usb port, MHL allows to use MHL both with usb on the same time...
