Received HDTV Adapter from Verizon for Wifi Tab

Received HDTV Adapter from Verizon for Wifi Tab. Ordered from Verizon retail store last week and received today. Working as expected, mirroring everything. Takes standard HDMI cable. Need to connect traveler charger which came with gtab on one side of HDTV adapter to start display on TV or Monitor. Videos seems better than Gtab 7 with hdmi dock but picture is little bit cutting on the TV display. Tried all settings on TV but cant't fix it. I have US retail Rom on it. Adding some pics of the Adapter.

hey bro. Can you post a link to where you found that adapter. I can't find it anywhere e

I was hoping you wouldn't need to plug in the charger to be able to use the adapter as it makes the use of it a lot more inconvenient. I'm seriously dissappointed. Bad Samsung! Bad!

hey task650 i was unable to shop it via websites that's why i went to Verizon store in NY and the salesman ordered for me in the store and gave me receipt and told me it will ship via FedEx and the shipping is free. It's a 2 day delivery time because i ordered it on Thursday last week and received it on Monday. You can check maybe they have it in Verizon store now. CazeW yes the charger should be plugged into HDTV adapter in order to display on TV. First it seems inconvenient but then i thought for GTab 7 i need to plug the whole dock to display on TV. But i also want adapter to be used without charger.

This seems to be standard practice for MHL output. Every MHL device I've seen had the same requirement.

But it still feels kinda silly that the chip can't draw its power from the tab as I doubt it really needs that much juice.

That's why the 7" Galaxy Tab dock is a better buy as it has hdmi and a stand.

hi
is the gtab charging while the wallplug is attached to the hdmi out?

The need to plug in a charger to get HDMI out is just, for the lack of a better word, stupid.
At home I may have my setup with a dock and HDMI connector. But I want to be able to quickly connect the tablet to a TV, beamer or stereo when im on the go and not search for a wall outlet or even carry my charger with me just to show a few pictures or a movie.
Are you still on stock 3.1 have you flashed one of the TW ROMs? I hope this can be changed via an update because this requirement would make the HDMI adapter almost useless for me.
Edit: I just saw the picture of the manual. It seens I have to wait for an aftermarket solution or don't buy an HDMI adapter at all.

Yes the gtab charges while wallplug is attached to hdmi out. Now i am on original TW from samsung and still needs charger to display on TV.

I'm thinking of buying a small external battery to plug in when I want to use the HDMI adapter. Anyone tried if that works?

so I just went to a verizon store and they couldn't order it for me. But I am passing one more so I am bringing my tab in and showing them your picture as proof to have them try harder .
::edit::
Ok and that just worked lol they ordered it for me after looking at your picture like oh damn now I can't say no

That's good you did that. Most of their staff did not knew when i was asking about the adapter and they were showing me all sorts of hdtv stuff and finally one store able to help me out. So they charge you $39.99 plus tax right? Shipping is free.

Cazew good idea but i never thought of that so never used that configuration. But you will need strong battery right? Because i bought external battery for the iPad and the iPad never charges from the external battery maybe because power was not strong enough on the battery. Battery power capacity is 1900 mAH, Input : 5V 800mA, Output : 5V 500mA.

yea 39.99 plus tax with free 2 day shipping. I wonder if I ordered it with the other accessories I got recently if I would have gotten a discount on it like I did on them (thunderbolt case and dock charger)

To charge the Tab (and iPad) the external battery has to have an output of 2A at 5V (or get one of those charging cables from Ebay). I'm suspecting though that to use the HDMI adapter with an external battery you don't need that kind of output. If you still have that battery, would be great if you could test if it works with the adapter.

Thanks foe the information. Will stop by Verizon and order.

Anybody with the adapter notice any slowdown once mirroring? I'm getting some lag (in all apps) and white speckles (noise) on the tv screen (but not on the tab). Running latest rooted tw.

Not sure what MHL is but the Motorola Xoom's built-in HDMI miniconnector connects directly to a TV without the need of an external power source. Why couldn't they have made the Tab do this also?

Here's a list to get the adapter for a better price than Samsung.
I just placed an order at:

I'll let you guys know how it went when I receive my adapter.

MHL Streaming problems

Has anyone extensively used their phones to stream via MHL cables? I've been using my phone to stream NFL games-
I'm not sure if its a problem with my MHL cable, but my battery still drains even though the power chord is used. Also the phone gets crazy hot- I can't imagine this being too good for my phone or battery- I turn it off to cool it off sometimes, but when i try to charge it when its off, i get a temp warning...

I don't know the answer but I am following the thread. I just ordered a MHL cable from Amazon for this very purpose...
Please keep us updated

Where did you get your mhl adapter from? I've streamed games just fine without any overheating and it charged fine too. I got mine from monoprice for 14 bucks

How are u streaming NFL games?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2

I got the MHL adapter from monoprice as well... What exactly do you stream?

I just got my phone; was told you do not need a mhl adapter, just a micro USB to HDMI..
Can anyone confirm this?
thanks

Wase- AFAIK you need a MHL adapter ... it cost $14

thanks man, which one did you get, the Monoprice one?
does it for sure work with this beast? I know some folks had issues with it on an E3d..

HDMI Adapter $12 !!

yeah best I could find before was $26.49 and I just did not want to pay that for a little adapter
last night I Just started going through the 177 page of crap that comes up for "epic touch" looking for goodies. (most crap cases
if you have FF and you keep EBAY as your default "search" option all you have to do is highlight that number right click "search ebay" (it will "search" whatever engine you have "active" in the search box) not sure if its built in or its a addon I have I think its built into FF.
otherwise yes just plug that number into ebay.

not samsung, but i wouldnt believe ebay on it being 100% OEM. monoprice is something i trust, and this mhl adapter works fantastic

For most things I don't care if its OEM as long as it works (I have learned to prefer OEM batteries unless they are good batteries)
Monoprice. are those prices shipped? is that like a deal extreme site?

Not at all like dealextreme, they ship from california.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I would say it is OEM. I picked this one up 120792846359 back in October and it was OEM and works great. Was the lowest I could find at that time.

Does the Samsung cable have a charging port as well?

I don't know I sure hope so.
although with the extended battery it looks like I can play about 84 minutes of video and I was down to 85% battery life so about 5.6 to 1 minutes to percent. so roughly 560 minutes or about 9+ hours per charge.
WOW and that is at full volume and full screen brightness. assuming that depletion rate holds (I just might have to test that one day)

Yes it has charging port.

Got mine in the mail today and it is indeed an OEM samsung adapter. Works perfectly and it does charge while playing. Thank you for the heads up.

WOW you got it before I did
Mine processed through philadelphia tonight at 1856 so I might have it tommorrow or saturday depending on what they feel like doing.

Monoprice is the bomb. I get tons of quality cables, speaker stuff, etc. from them for incredible prices. Did I mention that their stuff is quality too?

I bought the one from Monoprice that locoboi187 linked in post #7. It's working fine. It was $11 shipped.
In addition to the HDMI jack, the adapter also has a jack to plug in your phone charger, and thus power the adapter and also charge your phone. I had made the assumption that connecting the charger was an optional nicety, but it turns out to be required. It has to be plugged in so that the tv will see the connection. That makes it a little cumbersome since you have both the HDMI cable and the charger cable to contend with, but it works.
Question: Is there any way to turn off the phone screen while its outputting video to the tv?

I don't have anything with HDMI so I can not test but have you tried simply pressing power to turn off the screen?
I know in many programs the program keeps running (podcast player)
moboplayer turns off when you hit power time permitting and if I remember I will try some others. Does core player make an android app?
I bet one of them has a "screen off" function.

If you press the power button to turn off the screen, then the HDMI output turns off too.

I picked up the monoprice mhl hdmi adapter, looks solid. I didnt like the fact that the samsung "oem" one on ebay didnt show a picture of it having a seconday micro usb for charging the phone. I also picked up 220855903037 from ebay. I plan to use both together with 160708041305 and my logitech 5.1 surround setup. Going to have a 20" lcd monitor on the corner table. This will achieve a make shift jukebox. I hope it all turns out like im hoping. Ill make a post with the results.

hdmi mhl

hi guys! i bought a hdmi mhl cable from ebay, got it for 10 dollars which is pretty cheap, link is http://www.ebay.com/itm/320930807884?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 for those interested.
it think it is samsung branded and it works as it should. i do not get my cellular signal cut and wifi and bt work perfectly. the image is amazing on 1080p youtube videos for instance.

Just out of curiosity, does it get power over the cable while plugged in?
Edit: Yes, according to product description.

So, it needs more power than it receives? Interesting...

Well not really, when your CPU is running at full speed it take a lot of power, happens when playing fast paced 3D games too.
$10 shipped is a very good price, just bought one too.

just ordered one, very cheap!

does it support sound through hdmi?

Slimport to HDMI adapter

I've just bought a really cheap Slimport adapter on DealXtreme, link here: http://dx.com/es/p/slimport-to-hdmi...optimus-g-pro-fujitsu-arrows-tab-black-244142

I would love to hear how well this adapter performs at full HD and does the N5 actually charge with it plugged in AC.

bought this one from ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111217047510
Will let anyone interested know how well it works when I receive it, as well as my phone lol.
I live in a small apartment and my living room is pretty small. I got the idea to connect a 10-15 ft micro usb extension from my tv using this adapter. does anyone know if a length like that will affect charge performance? how about HDMI performance as well?

hey guys
id love to hear from you guys.. seen those on amazon for 30+ USD.. and shipping to israel is INSANE from amazong.
dont forget to give us an update on both!

I believe so. The hdmi is for the video/audio, and the USB is for charging, so you would have to connect to two ports, then you can plug into your micro USB in your phone. Most smart tv's nowadays have usb and allow for charging, so this is convenient as it will be right near the hdmi. I don't think they allow to charge with the tv off though, in case you were wondering like me. (Was planning on using this as my main charger, but not if tv has to be on to charge lol

Hi, today i received the adaptor but High bitrate Full HD video playback seems to have frames drop and GSM network drop on my n5 32Gb stock
My adapter looks identical to yours

Hello. I bought this Slimport adapter from Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190970882791?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
It is working fine, but when I am playing heavy videogames it seems like the power for charging is not enough and even when I have it plugged to a power source it loses battery. Has anyone had this problem?

Have you tried different HDMI cables?

Yup, I've tried 3 different HDMI cables of varying lengths. My only thought is to try a different TV... but that's kind of useless as I wanted to use it on the living room tv which is actually brand new in itself (only 1 month old). All of my other HDMI devices have no problems, but this is totally broken.

Is there much lag using the Slimport adapters?
I measured my wife's GS3 today through MHL by recording a running stopwatch app and the lag was minimal at 0.04s which made me think it would be great for gaming on the big screen. Thing is I found that when I ran an emulator the lag seemed to increase to a point where games were unplayable.
I'm thinking of getting a slimport for my nexus 5 for gaming mainly as I thought the delay would be a lot less than Miracast but I read somewhere that not only does the slimport affect any lag time between the phone and TV but also the TV itself. Just wondering if anyone our there has used the slimport or miracast for gaming with success?

I have not used it extensively (for gaming) but I have used it with a game called Beat Hazard and it works very well. Also works without problems with a game called Waking Mars. I have not played for more than 10 minutes mind you. I use the video output for XBMC (movies), which works splendidly.

I had the same question cause there was a noticeable lag on my S4 via MHL. You should check out this video comparing MHL and SlimPort with an S4 and Nexus 5: http://youtu.be/XnR3KofhVMA there is very minimal lag with SlimPort.
