yeah, first connect the a/c cable then the phone and after the hdmi in the mhl. if it doesn't work try another combo, i haven't used it in a while
I couldn't get this working either for those that it is working on - which adapter are you using?

From what i understand you need to get that Micro-A version not the B version. I THINK
No it does not work.

That cable specifically, or I have to use a MHL cable?

Won't work either way.
That and most cable will work with Galaxy S2 but it won't work with Epic 4G Touch Galaxy S2. Although they are close they are not the same phone.
USB OTG is disabled on the Sprint version of the SGSII. MHL is only to split the USB data from the HDMI stream.
Do you guys know when it'll be enabled? I asked in a development thread for ICS to see if it could be added in the new kernel they are developing for it and got flamed by Jerdog.
I would love to have this as I use it a lot on my Xoom.

It is a really nice feature I use on the zoom as well. It would be nice to get it enabled.
Can anyone verify if the MHL cable works out of the car dock?

That certainly is a bummer. I assume car dock would be the same then. Thanks for answering!
Does anyone have the mhl cable and have they tried it on cm9/10/aokp? I want to buy one but I want it to work on whatever ROM i'm running.

If anyone sees this thread it works on cm10

I'm guessing it would work. I used samsungs 11 to 5 pin adapter and my current mhl cable.
EDIT: audio doesn't seem to be working for me but it might just be my mhl cable.

i was wondering if i can connect my galaxy note 10.1 to my samsung Smart hdtv tv via Mhl and use usb otg to connect controllers so i can play games on my hdtv with the controllers
did anyone do that before?
Im pretty sure you can use a usbhub or anything like that, connect the MHL and the controller to the MHL and it should work but Im not sure.

Don't the usb otg adapters / hubs connect to the same port as the hdmi adapter would ? And thus far l haven't been able to find nether a hdmi adapter with an usb otg port, nor a usb hub / adapter with hdmi..
Anyone?

Hm thats right, when connecting the OTG it will only recognize it as USB and when connecting the MHL it will only recognize it as MHL.

There is a multimedia dock coming out soon for the s3 that will allow otg and hdmi plug to put your cable into.
There is already one for the note 2 but it doesn't work for the s3 at least that's what the reviews say and also said might work after an update from samsung.

You can always use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard or controller with hdmi. Or you could do allshare cast hub for widi with usb otg devices. It does artifact with more intense games though.

Wow I hope I can get a dock like that for my S3 and/or note 10.1
Thanks for that video.
The note 10.1 is the same internals as the note 2 and s3 so I don't see why one built for the tablet plug wouldn't be possible, I doubt this would work if you tried to connect via usb otg adapter for the 10.1. Hopefully they release one!

Why not use the six access controller app which allows you to tether ps3 controllers wirelessly?
It might also be possible to do similar with xbmc which released in beta today but I've not tested that.

Well what about connecting a usb drive etc. Or use other controllers. For that matter I for one might need to use a wireless mouse... really hope they launch a media dock or something similar.

So, i want to buy the official mhl to hdmi adapter for galaxy s4 which has a product number : ET-H10FAUWEGWW
Will this work with the galaxy s3 that i want to buy? If yes will it work with any tv?(assuming of course it has hdmi port)
It has to be a MHL enabled TV. At least that's what I've read. I actually bought one of those cables and tested it on my HDTV and it wouldn't show anything at all. I tested on both my Sprint Galaxy S3 and my Nexus 7 FHD.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 uses MHL
The Google Nexus 7 FHD uses SlimPort
These are two different standards and the cable is not interchangeable.

Unfortunately I'm a new user so I have a few more posts before I can post a link in a reply. But if you go to best buys website and search MHL you will find what I have read. I think I included a screenshot in this reply.
Just because it says it on bestbuys website doesn't make it real. The MHL standard is designed to convert to regular HDMI. Any HDMI TV should work fine with it.
No offense to anyone. But I'm going to take the word of Best Buy's website unless, you have proof besides your say so.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
If it says it's for any Samsung Galaxy product it's worth a shot. I don't know anything about MHL really. But the cord I have doesn't work and that's what I'm going off of. And the best buy website. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.

The other thing to note is are you running a custom rom. I think the mhl drivers are in the touchwiz frameworks.

There is no such thing as a MHL enabled TV. MHL works on anything HDMI ready. The only thing is if you are running a AOSP based rom, it will not work, right now i only works on TouchWiz.
My MHL adapter works flawlessly on my 2010 Aquos.

Actually, there is such a thing, but it's not that important.
An MHL-compatible TV will supply power (5V/500mA in 1.0, 900mA in 2.0. and 2A in 3.0) to the adapter and charge the phone.
A non-MHL-compatible TV won't do that and you'll have to connect your own charger, but it will work fine otherwise.

So if the tv has an hdmi port and i have a power supply, i should have no problem it seems...
If the only difference is the USB ports are more powerful then I don't see how that has anything to do with MHL.
I have successfully tried my MHL cable on many TVs and I've always used it's own power adapter plugged into the wall.
I have heard there are crappy MHL adapters that do not work though.

Correct. an MHL TV just means you don't need to have a charger on hand, have a free outlet, have a long enough micro USB cable to get to that outlet, etc. etc.

Nope, sorry, simply not compatible.
The pin-out mapping and the data transferred over the pins are different and the adapters are not "clever" enough to switch them.
