so, anyone taken apart an MHL adapter yet?
i have a sneaking suspicion, that the move to an 11 pin is what will allow BOTH OTG, and MHL at the same time, but i could be wrong.
look inside your USB port on the bottom of the S3...
whatya see?
the normal 5 pins on the USB part.. but what is that in back wall? THE OTHER 6 PINS!
yep, that is why you cannot plug the MHL adapter into a hub or anything.. there is 6 pins are missing.
Now, i am wondering:
has anyone taken it apart to see if the 6 pins are used alone, or if it uses the the USB also?
if it uses only the 6 pins for MHL-ness, then it should more than possible to make an OTG/MHL adapter/dock.
more thought says, if my theory is right, an 11 pin to 5 pin conveter may be the key.. and an otg can be spliced in to give 2 outputs: MHL in one (using an s2 MHL adapter) and OTG in the other.....
anyone wanna tear their adapter up? or are you guys gonna make me spend some money?
I ran across this post looking to see if anyone has done this yet. I am going to try to grab the 5 to 11 tomorrow and tear it apart (since it's the cheaper adapter). My plan was to rip it apart and if the original 5 pins are available, splice just as you mentioned.
I can't find a decent picture of the microUSB plug to see if all pins are there.
Also I found this:
http://homixtech.en.alibaba.com/pro...Galaxy_S3_11pin_To_Micro_USB_5pin_Gender.html
Which makes me think 11 pin microUSB plugs that work are available out there somewhere.

So, did you do this experiment? Has anybody found a way to get access to all of the pins and make OTG work with MHL?
I've been waiting for two months for an answer about this. I'm glad someone started a thread. I kind of have this hesitation to start new threads.
I would love it if this could be integrated with the seidio active dock.

meh, I think that is wrong. many people have done exactly what it says you can do, and it doesn't work.
Makes me wonder if the boys at Samsung made a press mistake. If indeed you can't use both with the correct cable, then why make a port with 11 pins? Seems a waste of resources to me.

I have never seen anything from samsung saying that MHL and OTG was possible.. just speculation in websites.
It better be possible because if not all Samsung's managed to do is make us buy hugely overpriced new MHL cables when they could have kept the old type, but I guess Samsung's made some decent money giving people no option but to buy £30 MHL cables.
I hope Monoprice really is working on a cable. 35-40 USD is more than I want to pay, especially if I get a couple and/or an HDMI dock.

Someone needs to find the resistor values first so the phone can use both simultaneously if it's even possible that is.

that would be key. I have sent out messages to people that may know, or may be able to find out, but i have not had success.
heck, If it can be done in the terminal (turning on items) i can make a shortcut that would do it.. but i have had no success with that either.
It's not possible I think.
You can use an MHL enabled tv wich powers MHL, (so you don't need the adapter) but how do you want to split that?
You can split the cables from the samsung adapter, so you have the MHL ones(6) and the usb ones(5).
But what then?
You need to connect the MHL ones to an hdmi cable, and connect it with an MHL enabled tv. And the usb ones to an usb port for OTG.
But will that even work with this S3?, because it is designed to get power from your charger via the extra usb port on the adapter.
Maybe it only works with the adapter, and not even with an MHl enabled tv...
I think somebody needs to connect the S3 to an MHL enabled tv, if that works you can modify the adapter and use the usb as OTG.

I found (and shared) the MHL value, and we already know the OTG value.. but it only seems logical there is ANOTHER value to activate both at the same time. we are postulating, the the reasoning behind the 11 pin, is to allow both. If adding just an OTG cable turned on MHL too, it would cause issues without an MHL connection. and the same with MHL activating OTG, without an OTG device connected. like i said, this is postulation at the moment, but there SHOULD be a thrid value to enable both at the same time. that value would be used by a future peice of hardware that does a whole "PC MODE".
and if it does not exist, it CAN be done, we just need more "stuff" a way to enable a special switch if you will.
some people are saying you can connect straight to an MHL enabled TV, but that has not been done yet (and since there are no 11 pin MHL cables, that are not adapters, it seem unlikell that anyone will until said cable exists. the S3 cannot send MHL signal over the usb part, it has to be either the extra 6 pins, or with the 11 to 5 pin adapter.)
essentially, the pins are there, and with some special software, or a hidden resistor value as to yet, unfound, and some custom hardware (as of now NOTHING 11 pin, has 11 pins in it) it SHOULD be possible.
but there is nothing that has been found (hardware wise) that is even modifyable to work.... yet.
What I don't understand, why does MHL only work with the power connected?
They could easily make an MHL cable with the 11 pin, and hdmi. That should work for only MHL.
Only no go I can think is that MHL drains your battery because of always having your screen on, and the MHL output.
So they decided to use the adapter with power, otherwise you can't use MHL feature very long before your battery is empty
I think inside the adapter they only use the pins for giving power, and not the full 5 pin support for OTG, and therefore OTG doesn't work when you want to connect something.
Inside the ROM they have maybe build in something that MHL will only work when power is connected.
Maybe the solution is very simple,modify the adapter so full 5 pins are connected.

Hey there, i have tried gathering information about this subject and it seems all threads always lead to this announcement:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/06/29/galaxy-s-iii-new-mhl-connector-also-enables-usb-on-go/
Short: Samsung have changed to an 11 Pin-out to enable USB OTG and MHL Hdmi out at the same time. I purchased an original HDTV Adapter (EPL-3FHUBEGSTD) which as far as i can reliably count indeed has about 11 connectors inside the USB connector that goes into the phone.
Now, i can get HDMI out just fine, but ONLY when i also connect the MHL adapter to a power source (a PC USB Port will do fine), however i have also read, that the phone is able to power the MHL adapter itself but obviously would not be charged then (no surprises there). This does not work however.
Further, connecting a USB OTG cable to the micro usb port on the MHL adapter does nothing. No notification and no devices connecting. No power either, since the LED on my USB Hub does not light up as it should. Connecting any devices to the hub does nothing to change that situation. If i leave out the MHL adapter and connect the USB OTG cable directly to the phone, everything works perfectly. I have tried this with 2 different OTG cables so they are not the problem.
This is an original genuine HDTV Adapter for our phones, which according to that post should be working fine with USB OTG.
AFAIK, this topic --does-- come up more frequently now as i can find a few more discussions about it, albeit none really helpful:

That wiki entry is the most interesting link as it definitely states that using MHL and USB OTG simultaneously is possible and is also the reason why the 5 pin layout was changed to an 11 Pin layout.
Looking forward to reading your replies!

I don't see why you would feel the need to ridicule me for bringing up this thread. it's not wishful thinking, seeing as even the wikipedia entry on MHL clearly states it should be possible. There is also a blog entry on the exact same topic and even the movement to boycott samsung accessories have stopped because of this: http://www.galaxymhl.com/
I don't really understand why people aren't looking into this more.
I'm not ridiculing you. I want the same thing. What I said was my legitimate wish list. I haven't bought the mhl adapter because I'm holding out for an all in one solution. I'm still waiting on Samsung to give us a product that does mhl and otg simultaneously.

I'm sorry, i must have gotten that wrong. I find it very confusing Samsung do no release enough information on this in order to make it work. Neither the phone documentation, nor the official 11-Pin HDTV Adapter manual mention this in any way.
I'm waiting also for a dock with MHL+USB OTG at the same time by Samsung, I dont understand why the official MHL adapter does not support this already but I've been searching and I have not found yet any example of both working together. It clearly seems that the MHL 11 pins cable we can buy right now does not support this since nobody has tested it succesfully but what I don't know is if that is related to Hardware or it also has something to do with software. I read a couple of weeks ago that Google was thinking about using the phone as a PC via docking, I think the idea comes from Motorola? So maybe the availability of both connections at the same time is also related with android, who knows, maybe in JB it will be possible...Has somebody tested MHL+USB OTG in JB with the official adapter?

It comes with the latest stock kernel and appearently won't boot with anything else so Samsung must have made some changes to it. In a few hours time I'll be back with information on how that worked out.
I can confirm it NOT working on Jelly Bean. The MHL adapter does provide video HDMI output, but only as long as it is plugged into an external power source. When connecting an OTG usb cable, there is no reaction at all. There has to be some way of getting the phone to power the HDMI adapter. Do any of you folks have a good link to a kernel dev who can have a look into this? There has to be a MHL modul for the USB driver. Ghokanmoral probably has more insight into this...
Summary: USB OTG and MHL work fine separately, but not simultanously on JB using a standard genuine Samsung EPL-3FHUBEGSTD adaptor.

I don't really know how this is accomplished with the dock, but if it works with the dock, I have to think that the same technique could be used to make it work with other adapters, too. If it's a matter of putting a voltage or a resistance across two pins, that would not be a big deal to do.
It was figured out in the thread that this was split off of.
we already found the resistor value to do it, the wiring.. everything.
Anyone try...
Anyone try a usb Y cable which will inject power over a USB and still allow for a separate device to be attached? I would post a link but i'm noob here. You can find it as "UTStarcom USB Adapter Y Cable"
The HDMI part of the split HAS to be powered...but the USB OTG does not. So...if there was such thing as an 11 pin micro usb Y splitter, then the OTG side would work while the powered MHL adapter was on. Essentially this is what the dock does.
Is it possible to create an 11 pin Y splitter? Someone needs to get one of those docks and tear it apart to see how the leads are split...lol

The hdtv adaptor problem
I know this would probably sound silly and I'll be laughed for this idea so I'm taking that risk with this topic.
I don't know much about the android phones or the software because I've only had my phone a few weeks so not used to the software or the actual components and ice just learned that I can zoom in and out while writing this probably why I've been making so many mistakes)
So the insides of a phone I know nothing about what the components are, wow their zooming is good....so I'll call it the galaxy s3 plug socket.
Wouldn't you just need to join a cable that goes from the phone into two galaxy s3 plug sockets (yes don't know what they are called either)
I'm going now because I'll probably just be laughed at for this' I'll probably come for a visit soon when the laughter ha died down.
See yah
.......yes I made a mistake up there still getting used to the predictive typing, ahhhhhh so much to learn.....oh yeah I did a rom yesterday I loved it till I updated to the uk firmware it made the battery life better.
Oh wow this does the spelling mistakes too wow....yes just come from Nokia and this technology is great.
Okay going now, just thought I'd add something to the bottom.
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking? Are you trying to connect to HDTV?
No I'm not because I'm not a person that makes adaptors but I'm assuming that some people come here who do make them.
So to simultaneously connect both the adaptor for the hdtv and the otg cable what you need to do is make an adaptor that connects into the galaxy s3 and then connects to two galaxy s3 plug sockets (don't know what they are or what they are called)
Okay say for instance if you had an adaptor like this that would make it possible for one cable to double up as two of these plug sockets that both the adaptor goes into that also plugs in a charger and then the other a otg cable would plug into that you could plug a usb hub into (that would be alot of wires so probably combine them all into some kind of dock so it would limit the wires everywhere) wouldn't it be possible to have otg and a picture on a hdtv.
Okay I have no idea what parts are and how you would make this possible or how the wires would connect up I just have the idea of it.
Okay so a plug that goes into the s3 plug socket would continue with the process that goes into the original plug socket then divides into two of them with a cable.
It seems plausible to me.
Something like two of these m.alibaba.com/product-gs/558734992/USB_RJ45_extension_adapter.html joined as one that goes into through micro usb port of the phone but instead of being able to connect two usb's you connect the adaptor and usb otg by having the galaxy s3 plug at each end

lets see here... you mention OTG, and HDTV.. perhaps you should do a search.. there are many topics on it, and to why you can't do what you are saying you want to do... or at least not the WAY you want to do it
search OTG+MHL, and read those threads.
Yes on the threads says that you can't use the mhl adaptor and use otg together.
Maybe my idea wouldn't work but if it did it would allow otg and the mhl adaptor to work by using something like this https://www.tessco.com/products/imagedisplay.jsp?itemID=1370671 to go into the phone.
Maybe the s3 wouldn't be able to handle a dual port plugged into it's micro port
Maybe it will just blow up or get confused.
It's just an idea

You do not need root. All you need is the correct mhl adapter for the note 2 and make sure it's connected with the power adapter and it will work instantly. It's actually pretty cool.

you may need to get a 5pin to 11pin adapter. The GN2 has a 11pin port. And most HML adapters use 5pin ports.

Monoprice HML stuff
And from what I've seen others post and seen on other sites, you'll going to spend in the $10 to $20US range for the equipment.
On a side note, I like that new cable monoprice has with both the mircoUSB and regular so you can plug into the phone and charger. That may actually not eat up juice or much of it In my setup, I run into the battery drain when doing WiFi tether and HML at the same time.
The video is something I did to show HML working and what not. I'm using the USB cable and charge that came with the phone. It's plugged into the monoprice HML adapter. The white thing adapter that is plugged into GN2 and HML adapter is plugged into is a 11pin to 5pin adapter.

would any of these adapters work? and i also just need the usb charging cable and an hdmi to hdmi cable right?
yes, they should work. Doesn't look like you need an 11pin adapter either.
Yes you will need a USB cable, USB charger and HDMI cable. You can just use the USB cable and charger that came with your phone. Just an FYI, the HML adapter will take some power to run, so your phone will charge while using, but not as quickly. Also, if you're doing power consuming things all at one on the phone, it's possible the phone will drain, just slower, like I have with I did that while running WiFi Tether.
I tried several "standard" MHL adapters, and the only one I could get to work was the Samsung OEM adapter. Can't speak for anyone else, but that adapter + standard HDMI cable works great.
You'll find it by searching for 'B00AG33VHU' on Amazon. (sorry, I can't post links yet)
