Be careful about "shipping date"
I've had mine on order for over a month form them now and I'm still waiting.
However yesterday it was shipped. So that may be a start.
all others may be ok as they now state they have stock.

I was going to order one from them. The shipping time was 24 hours yesterday but changed today so i went with mobile fun instead with 24 hour delivery. It costs a bit more but at least i will get it soon

Expansys have them (don't think they are Samsung branded though).
Were £12.99 earlier today, but currently showing as £15.99

Thought i would throw this website into the ring, its a UK site though...

I have seen some really abd reviews about that site so I would be careful ordering from them

Has anyone gotten his/her hands on one yet? I'm thinking of ordering one but, i'm wondering what the output resolution is (Mhl is up to 1080P), but the galaxy S2(I9100) is 800x480. Does it only ouput videos or everything that is on screen? I can find nowhere if it's outputs are 480i/p 576i/p 720p or 1080i/p if anyone knows more please tell

I've a Bizlink MHL-Adapter (no differences between this one and Samsung's adapter).
It outputs exactly the same that is shown on the internal screen (with a resolution of 800 x 480), but when playing a movie the output resolution is set up to 1080p and only the movie will be shown. That means that it switches in a video mode with the full resolution of the video but without showing other information like the volume control or something like that. Such information are only shown on the internal screen when being in video mode. In this mode both screens are different so the GPU is more strained than in normal mode when cloning the screen.
In conclusion: Movies are shown in their native resolution and all other content is shown in the devices resolution as an copy of the internal screen.
I hope for a driver mod that enables a function for using defined resolutions on external screen. But there are different problems:
1. The GPU has to render 2 different resolutions (higher battery drain)
2. Both Renderings should show the same content in different resolutions (scaling problem)
3. To use the high resolution of the external screen effectively text sizes has to be adjusted to this resolution to show more text instead of smoother letters, so there occur (right word?) more differences between both screens (scaling problem too)

Can we use the camera while connected to TV out?
Can someone please confirm if we can use the camera feature while the TV output is ON for Galaxy S II through MHL to HDMI.
Kinda like using it as a webcam for a TV.. or for a live broadcasting/streaming.
I know that this could not be done with the GALAXY S when we connected the 3.5 mm jack as i was told that the hardware did not support this feature in galaxy S.

Just tried this - doesn't work. When running the Camera app (in both photo and video mode), it says on the TV:
"HDMI not available while application is running. Application will display on phone only"

I ordered one off eBay early last week & received it on Wednesday. It mirrors the SGS2's LCD, so you'll see the home page, the app pages, and so on. I didn't get much time to play with it as I was out of town until today, but I did notice that the HDMI output on my Vizio 32" TV was 1080i, not 1080p; no idea why.

Got my delivery from play.
it's the original Samsung one.
Quite nice, and displays all movies in their native resolutions just stretched to fill the screen.
1080p movies obviously look great.
Also I should state that the quality of the tv your playing content on makes a massive difference.
I played a DVD rip on my work tv and the quality was poor
However the same movie played via the S2 on my home tv was clear and crisp.

hye,
i bought it yesterday. when i plug in into my GS2, nothing appear at TV. i tot the HDMI cable got problem. but check using other player, it working perfectly. plug in charger cable into the MHL, it charged the phone. but nothing appear at the TV.
do i need to configure anything for this adapter? can u guys help me here. tqvm

Its kind of expensive... I wonder how much the phone will get while playing movies on tv..

Just got mine from mobilefun.co.uk (is cheaper at play.com).
Wasted half an hour to figure out that it needs power in order to work.

For those that got it from play - how long did delivery take as nede it within a week?

Has anyone tried this el cheapo version from DX?

SGSII MHL/HDMI Adapter

I got the Cable Matters MHL to HDMI adapter (no links- under 8 posts) from Amazon. Perfectly inexpensive, quality is alright. I use my existing adapter heavily; multiple emulators, Sixaxis Control Utility, and along with a keyboard and mouse I use it like a second desktop. However, sometimes video output ceases for a few seconds, giving a black screen on whatever you're outputting to. The video output on the phone is unaffected. Apparently this is a common issue for this adapter. While it's not deal breaking (it still works fine and only cuts out for two to three seconds every five to twenty minutes), I want to know if the official adapter has this issue as well. While it's twice as expensive, I may put down the money sometime down the road to replace the one I've got.
What do you have, how well does it work?

I've played FF7 via FPSe piped to my TV using the OEM Samsung MHL adapter for about 2 hours straight and never noticed any issues. Works great. And I got it for $16 off eBay shipping included.

Sounds like an idea. I use mine for FPSE as well. And N64oid. Spent about an hour playing Super Smash Brothers before work today. Only cut out about three times during that run, lol.

In my experience the cutting is interference from the phones antenna , tried it in airplane mode? WiFi doesnt interfere.

Have not tried airplane mode. Mostly, this is because I often use it as a desktop computer. Actually does the job fairly well. 19" flatscreen TV, BT keyboard and mouse, web browsing becomes a much more pleasant experience.
Mozilla needs to get off their asses and add an option to change the text size though. Dolphin works great but doesn't agree with some sites.

Indeed, that type of use shows the awesomeness of this device, i sometimes use Ubuntu, there's a nice package posted somewhere here, Firefox, GIMP etc on a cellphone is amazing. But enough of that ot, if airplane mode doesn't give you those cuts then when reconnected to cells try to position the cable in a way that it wont catch so much interference, i connect it to a 27" tv/monitor/tuner/almost coffee maker combo, and depending on positioning i can catch the moment when i'm going to loose signal by the tv's speakers catching the interference. Maybe you can find a position where it wont cut, i was able to position it in a safe way, so i believe it might be the lack of any screening at the chip on the cheap design.

one quick question i bought the mhl adapter from dealextreme a while ago but i´ve never really used till now since i bought a ps3 controller, my question regards image quality.
I am aware that the mhl adapter that i bought it isn´t the official but many people rated it high quality, when i play for example an emulator or riptige gp the image quality looks a lot better on the phone than it does on a tv or pc monitor, i´ve tested both, i don´t know if its just because the screen is smaller the image looks sharper but for example playing mario 64 on a big screen the image looks a bit squared/pixelated.
I even installed a pc emulator to compare (looks better), forced anti aliasing with chainfire and still looks pixelated.
The info that appears on my monitor is that the image is working at 1080i 1920*1080.
Is this normal ?

I have the official Samsung MHL adapter. It works great, the only issue is the display is a little bit trimmed off from the top and bottom. I have checked it on multiple TVs so I don't think TV settings are the issue.

mousiope, i know what you mean, it may be disorienting a bit, this is how it works.
The cable output is HD, but its only cloning the phones screen resolution when not playing high res videos, thats what produces the low resolution view on the monitor, so yes, it is because on the small screen it looks sharper. I noticed that on the emulators this is even more visible than on other uses, maybe the emulator itself is generating lower res than phones screen? never really looked at it. Try to change the LCD Density, its not quite the same than higher resolution but helps a little (mind tho that touchwiz doesnt scle properly with changes in lcd density, meaning it gets a little messy, small font, 4 icons per row always etc).
flippity, i never noticed trimming on my MHL output. Will check it tho.

My original adapter has cuts followed by a horrible noise. It was a lot worse when i used the charger that comes with the phone, probably the electrical distribution in my block sucks. Powering the adapter with USB power from my notebook almost solved the problem.
But it's quite pointless powering the cellphone with a computer instead of just using the computer's HDMI... In fact the MHL support sucks IMO, the only true 1080i/p is the video player, not even the photo viewer supports it! The other manufacturers like HTC, LG, Motorola and even NVidia had the descence of releasing an API enabling this functionality since it's not supported by Android itself.
Now that Bloodrainer mentioned, I never used the MHL in airplane mode... interesting...

Well, i get nasty noise in audio output when connected to a cheap car charger, so yea, i'd vote for your houses electric wiring, sadly i dont know much about electrics my vote would be to try a grounded plug with a surge protector?

No clue about api support, none of the AOSP based roms suport MHL, as it requires much of the samsungs frame and stuff, so sadly cm, miui, etc dont support MHL, not tried the leaked ICS yet, but i belive it should support MHL as its samsung's release.

i just bought mhl to hdmi convertor off ebay and it supports 1080p resolution. However when i connect it with my Gnex it only outputs 640x480 resolution ...is there any fix for this??

did you sort this as ive got the same but im using a hdmi to dvi adaptor to try on a monitor, it says 1280 x 720 support on the box...
cheers

I'm experiencing some sort of overscan when using the adapter, but I'm not sure if it is the phone, my av-receiver or the TV.
Oh well. It was dirt cheap on dealextreme.com. Not like I lost a lot of money

I haven't got one yet but have been researching like crazy. What I have found so far is that cheap ones are cheap. They do what yours is doing, the connections need to be wiggled to keep it connected etc. Spring for a good quality one if you're actually going to be using it. The folks at MHL have a good one I think, just haven't been able to find it.

No 1080p when using DVI
What a pity! Back in time, when we had ICS there we at least got the possibility to use 1280x720 (as far as I remember) when using a monitor via mhl->hdmi->dvi chain, now we are only getting 640x480, Even when watching movies.
You will only get full HD whenn you connect directly usb-.hdmi->TV
So no desktop mode any more.

I don't know how helpful this is, but Samsung actually makes an HDMI media dock for the GNex that works really well. I'm not sure how much it costs, however, as mine came with my phone.
The only issue I've had with it is that I have to take the case off my phone to use it.

The real good question...
The real question here is: "Can the Galaxy Nexus output 1080p playback, given his native resolution IS NOT 1080p?"
I mean, I know that OSs can adapt second displays and all that, Linux does that, but can Android do that? Treat the HDMI output as a second and independent display? I hope it can. I have a MHL=>HDMI cable (that also needs the power adapter to be plugged in) and I can only get 720p out of it, and the GNex can actually play 1080p movies, so... That would be awesome to play 1080p movies on my TV screen.

HTC One x connection via MHL adapter.

Hi Guys,
I have the one x, Optoma pk301, MHL adapter and the required HDMI cable. Got the connection all set up but I'm unable to get a display on the projector. Are there any settings in the phone that i have to change/switch on to display on an external screen?
Thanks

Mine worked right out of the box. I used a Galaxy SII adapter. As soon as i connected HDMI, charger and phone, it switched to landscape mode and the picture showed up on the tv.
As far as i am aware, there are no settings on the phone to enable/disable MHL.

Did you plug the USB to charge ? It says no power > no video

Im using this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Smart-Adapter-Galaxy-Mobile/dp/B005MR82GA
Its working now. Was displaying a red X before. Didn't do anything other than just unplug and re plug everything

Can you tell me if I play movie on my TV by mhl cable, does it shows external subtitles (.srt)? And, can hox play movie on TV with phone screen of during.

"Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter - Black" - quick review
I just received the MHL adapter from MonoPrice, about $10 US:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2
The product description implies some phones can power the MHL adapter, with the One X you must supply power via a micro-USB charger. Be forewarned, the load may be a little higher than what some phone chargers can deliver; my EVO 4G charger would shut off after about 10 seconds, an old Nexus One charger worked fine.
Output is 1280x720 60Hz (should auto-adjust to the TV, don't have a PAL display here to confirm this). The Samsung HDTV was set to "Just Scan", meaning no scaling is done by the TV.
The resultant HDTV image is underscanned by about 35 pixels on each side, 20 pixels on top and bottom, resulting in a display area of 1210x680. I think this is a problem with the One X GPU drivers, and not the adapter because I doubt a simple device like this can do any scaling. At CES, I played with a few Transformer Primes running Shadowgun Multiplayer, mirrored to HDTVs at 1280x720, and there was no underscan, so this is likely not be a limitation of Tegra 3 GPU.
I got the red X once (displayed on the TV), afterwards it would not mirror the display to the TV until reset, so the connection handshaking is kinda finicky. I've been plugging the micro-USB power last, after the phone and the HDMI is connected and the phone is powered on. Sense should flip into landscape immediately, if not, something is wrong. If you power on after everything is connected, you should see the lock screen in portrait for a couple seconds, then it'll rotate. Sense works surprisingly well in landscape, I'm surprised that HTC didn't allow this mode without an MHL adapter connected.
There is a slight performance hit on the One X when display mirroring is active:
GLBenchmark 2.1.4, native display:
Egypt Standard: 48 fps
Pro Standard: 54
GLBenchmark 2.1.4, HDMI mirrored:
Egypt Standard: 42 fps
Pro Standard: 52 fps
If you want to demo a One X, play Shadowgun THD on a HDTV, it looks absolutely amazing. You are "playing blind" on a touchscreen, but once you get a feel for turning and shooting (right thumb), it's pretty easy. Ideally, this setup is screaming for a game controller, but I haven't come across a thread about this yet for the One X. Support for analog sticks has been in the OS since 3.1, so the keymapping utilities on the Market shouldn't be necessary, but I need to look into this further.
Note: the images were taken of the HDTV using a point-and-shoot and scaled to 720p, so you can see the degree of underscan (the unfiltered decimation is very visible in the fonts).

Everything you see on the phone is mirrored on the TV. If you are watching a movie with subtitles on the phone, you will obviously see them on the TV.
My best experience so far watching 720p & 1080p has been with MX Player, but a lot of people also use Dice and Mobo.

That was not the case with my sgs and tv out and as far as I know with sgs2 tv out via mhl. It's mirroring everything but subtitles.

hi i have two days htc one x and have two hdmi cable to tv but same result no signal what i do wrong i use this one please helpme

I bought a MHL adapter from Mobilefun and I get the phone picture on a my PC monitor, with a little pixel loss as described by rasterX.
However I tried looking at a video I recorded with the HOX. I played the recording using the stock player and MX player.
In both cases, the playback is too fast on HDMI, it's like pushing a fast forward button.
With MX player I tried the different options (hardware/software): hardware is too fast, software is variable: complex pictures are too slow to display, less complex pictures are shown faster but since the display time changes according to the picture, the software playback is useless.
I tried two different PC monitors, one is Philips with a DVI-HDMI adapter, the other a DELL with a direct HDMI input, results are the same for both. I'm in a 50Hz country (France) if ever this can have a side effect...
Anyone has similar issues with MHL?

I tried my Samsung MHL adapter and it worked. My TV resolution is 1366x768.
When I connect all cables (inclusing power of course) I get portrait screen on my TV. As soon as I play movie or game, it goes landscape. When back to homescreen, it's portrait. No issues in Diceplayer or MX Player. Worked in HW and Software. Software mode allows to see subtitles on TV.

Sound only out of one channel
I only seem to be getting audio out of the left channel. I've tried 2 MHL adapters, and 2 different HDMI cables with 2 different TVs.
What's going on!?

Htc One X MHL Problems :(

Hey all , just playing around with my One x through MHL and noticed its only outputting at 640x480 @60hz !
It should be 1280x720 at least.
Ive checked on a few screens around my home.
I have this Adapter http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007K8NN9U/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
Anyone else have similar issues?
I wants Full HD's

There should be something wrong either with your MHL adapter or your software, its working pretty well with my ONE X and im getting 720p with no prob...

which adapter do you use ? I might just get a new one!

I use samsung Micro usb to MHL i used to use it with the galaxy note and S2

My girl friends sensation fills my 42" 1080p screen perfectly while outputting via MHL but my ONE X has borders the whole way round. It also does this on a smaller 720p screen.
Guessing its a Tegra issue.

Are you using a HDMI-to-DVI adapter by any chance? During connection handshaking, the phone queries the external display for 1280x720 60Hz, if not found, it will drop down to 640x480. You can use MonInfo the check your televisions's EDID info:

The CE mode IDs are what are being scanned, and you need to be talking to an HDMI port for this.

My girl friends sensation fills my 42" 1080p screen perfectly while outputting via MHL but my ONE X has borders the whole way round. It also does this on a smaller 720p screen.
Guessing its a Tegra issue.

This is a known problem with One X unfortunately. It's shrinking the output image if the display has overscan modes, rather, it should be checking if the display has underscan modes and output 1:1 by default. I've submitted this issue as a bug to HTC, and am still awaiting a reply from engineering.
I don't believe this is a problem with Tegra, because the Transformer Prime will display full screen when the HDTV is configured for 1:1.

Ah thanks for the info. I'll will also mention this to them. Hope a fix comes out as its a PITA.
I'm also noticing that the image is broken up in to lots of mini squares when playing MKV. Perhaps this is MK player rather then MHL adapter. Anyone else noticed this?

The small squares look like bad image scaling , there almost overlapped. Circles look jagged etc
