Evo to a projector options?

Is there a way to output evo to an older projector, which only has rca and vga analog inputs?

I searched around a little bit, I didn't find any mini HDMI to a/v. If anything at the moment you'll have to use adapters. Like Mini to standard/ female to female/ HDMI to RCA.

Those are expensive. I think the cheapest I saw was something like $50.

Yeah, they only way you are going to do that is with an HDMI to VGA adapter, which is not just a cheap adapter because the two standards are not compatible like DVI/HDMI.

What about your simple audio jack to vga? I think the software should pretty much be universal for that now.
EDIT: I guess you need hardware support for that

Those are scams, they never work because they don't have DACs.
And on top of that, evo has a Microhdmi type D. Not mini.
And on top of that, it would have to be Mirco HDMI -> HDMI, not the other way around, like you posted (HDMI -> mini HDMI).
Man, you are zero for 3 here.

You gotta realize those need a Digitial to Analog Converter.

while the DVI to VGA must be DVI-A.

HDMI dock

As you my know there is no Hdmi dock for our 10.1 thats not really the truth. There was a post about using the center part of the 7 tab dock and some post-it notes as a work around well I ordered the 10" dock not knowing the it didnt have the Hdmi port, I was pissed, why in the hell do you have a multimedia dock with no Hdmi port.. So after seeing the video of the 7" dock I discovered that the center part will swap with the 10" dock that doesn't have the Hdmi port and now I have a real Hdmi dock...
P.s. you have to have the the power plugged in to the dock for the Hdmi to work.....

i totally agree that the dock without HDMI is just stupid. Just another way making us buy more **** a la apple-style.
Nice workaround' but how much was the total?

Yes you add the cost of the second dock but if you look around you can find used docks or other ways around this but thats not on the up and up, even tho samsung hosed us.....

as in the video does ur hdmi output crop the mirroring also?

Nope i think that was that guys TV mine is fine but i do have display settings on my TV...

so did you have to break the dock or anything to swap the parts? this has me interested but want to know what I am getting myself into lol

No the 7" dock comes in two pieces and the 10" dock pops right apart..

I think the fact that it so easy and it goes right together is what piss me off so much why not just sell this to start......

hahah that is awesome, least I know I can get full HDMI dock now for about 60$
thanks for all the info

And by the way i only paid $28 for the 7" dock at the veizon store...and make sure you get the two part style .... there is a all in one dock for the 7" you dont want that.

do you have a part number?
EDIT: I am 99% sure it is ECR-D980BEGSTA least newegg pics show it in two pieces and that is the model on there.

And fyI for anyone that doesn't already have the official hdmi connector is 40 bucks so this maybe a cheaper alternative that they don't want us know about and this is the only way to charger and watch HDMI.....

I'm not sure how reliable this site is http://www.cellularaccessory.com/epl-3phpbegsta.html , but its $27. I checked the local best buy and they did not have the usb or hdmi adapters.
This place had it for $20, http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...ies.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-hdtv-adapter/, but it looks like they took it down, but you can see by the cached copy that it was there.

Hi.
Seems there is a 10.1 part released.

Newegg.
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834992792

That's the whole point of this thread there is no hdmi connector in that dock you have to purchase a separate 40 dollar piece that is currently unavailable at this time..

Sorry got confused.
Because it said on the newegg specs.
Port specs
3.5mm Stereo Audio Line-out
HDMI Output
30-pin Dock connecto

It's all good I saw the ad thought I can get the dock with a connector I was very pissed when i found out it did not have the hdmi connector

yeah I bought the 10.1 dock as well from new egg and they had it listed as the HDMI dock. When I got it I was pretty disappointed I even ordered the HDMI cable as well. Went to buy the 7 from new egg and they wanted nearly 60 bucks for it. So I ordered the e-bay version. Thanks for the tip.

they blotted out the HDMI port.

Best of the inexpensive MHL adapters

I see a lot of these on Amazon. Does anyone have a preference or know of a better brand (of the 3rd party type).

I have the SGS2 world version (GT-I9100). Does the micro-USB connector on the bottom align up with all the other variants of this phone (Tmo, AT&T, Sprint..ect)? Do all of those have the plug in the same place?
EDIT sorry the pic is so big. I didn't know that before I posted...
EDIT #2 Reading a quick review of the Menotek adapter on Amazon, one of the complaints was its limitation of 720p output. Is that true? Cant the SGS2 output in 1080p?

Personally i'd just buy the cheapest MHL adaptor you can find. It's just a cable so why pay a fortune for it.

It's not just a cable -- there are some electronics inside (that's why they need a charger input).

Have you ordered one yet? I'd be interested in knowing which is the best option and weather there's any reason to avoid the really cheap ones?

gonna grab myself a cheap one of these adaptors and get my emulator groove on, on the big screen.. though god knows how gba games are going to look at 32inches...probably not great.

No.is only cable.

I got official samsung and it is working fine

I have the first one, if your phone is not in airplane mode the screen on your tv often goes completely black. You have to reconnect the mhl cable to display the screen on your tv again. Annoying when watching videos but putting your phone into airplane mode fixes this completely.
Quality is great, downloading a movie and watching it looks incredible, full HD. However if you plan on watching youtube videos on your TV, I suggest you download the app TubeMate, it allows you to stream YT videos in a much higher quality than the standard app.

I have used one of these but not branded.
But I am not so sure about what RCP is for as it is wired and provides no additional gadget for "remote control".
And it's only $13 elsewhere.

Quoting from Wikipedia here:
"The built-in RCP (Remote Control Protocol) function allows you to use the Remote Control of HDTV to operate the MHL mobile device through HDTV’s CEC function."

MHL Adaptor
I bought one a few days ago from Amazon.co.uk, offical Samsung for £14.99 with free delivery, bargain in my opinion.
You have to connect the Samsung charger to power it (although i haven't tested it without the charger to see if it still works). The phone battery seems to drain really fast with the MHL outputting via HDMI, and gets a little warm also, both cores doing their bit no doubt.
Have to say i'm very happy with, and the CEC function (if your tv supports it) is the icing on the cake. With it, you can use your tv's remote (or any ALL in One as in my case [Logitech]) to control the phone navigation, you can play games using the remotes d-pad, and use it to click on items in the menu, or on the internet, rewind, pause and fast forward videos.
I too had the screen blacking out on me as one person mentioned earlier, espcially when playing games, I'll try and see what flight mode does for it, but my conclusions where a less than perfect HDMI cable, as when i tested it on my brothers tv it worked flawlessly without a single blackout (Using a HDMI cable supplied with his SKY+ box).

Might have to buy one of these but i'm still looking for a solution to sending audio NOT over the HDMI since I don't have a HDMI input on my monitors, only DVI. Either over analogue 3.5mm out or bluetooth would be fine!
I think the reason it drains the battery still is because it is using the data pins to send the video. For fast charge these pins would usually be shorted and you can't have both. (That's my understanding anyway!)

I have bought on ebay 1 cable mhl + 1 cable micro usb --> USB femal for only 15€
But the max resolution of mhl is 720p

Cheap MHL cable
I bought my MHL cable from deal extreme for around $13.00. Not only did i get a samsung branded (probably fake) MHL cable, it came with a USB OTG cable and a USB retractable cable too. So far, all 3 seems to work fine and not too expensive

Can you output video at full 1080p with this one?

I'm quite keen to get one of these but will be upgrading to the Galaxy S3 sometime soon. Does anyone know whether these MHL cables will be compatible with the new S3 as well?
Thanks.

hi guys.
why cant we use the camera app when using the MHL function?...is it a hardware restriction?...i was using cm9 and when i start the camera with the adapter plugged in then close the camera app ,for a second the camera screen shows up on the tv.....if its hardware restricted then it would not do that at all...

on my mhl cable only outputs 1080i,is it adaptors fault?

Questions about HDMI dock

First of all, I already ordered original Samsung MHL adapter, as it's much cheaper, and I will use it from time to time. I also got the audio dock for charging, and not use the usb. And ordered original Samsung OTG adapter.
Now for my questions, from what I know, the HDMI dock can charge, and use HDMI to connect to TV, but it's limited to videos only? or not?
and second question, what if I connect OTG adapter to the microUSB on the dock? will it work? or it same limited port, like in MHL adapter?

What, no buddy here have the HDMI dock?

I read something somewhere that running pre-4.0.4 stock would actually allow the HDMI dock to function as a mirror. I didn't have this with AOKP 4.0.3 however. My phone is limited to just video (Currently 4.0.4 AOKP). I'd love it if I had the option to use the dock for mirroring.
The OTG adapter shouldn't work with the USB port, as it's limited to charging, no data. Says so in the manual for the dock.

Ohh, I just not sure if to cancel the order of MHL adapter, sure it's more handy, and small, so if I go to a friend, I can get the adapter with me...
The thing is, that here: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/03/23/review-samsung-galaxy-nexus-hdmi-portrait-desktop-dock/
according to manual it say:

So they recommend to update the ROM to thelatest, but they also say it limited to video only. on other hand, pre 4.0.4....yes you guess it, there was no any dock settings in the ROM, but it worked just like the much cheaper MHL adapter, I already spent some cash on the Pogo Dock, so my microUSB stay still ,
I know it more good looking with the dock, but if it really limited, then **** Samsung.
P.S, can anybody here comment on latest stock 4.0.4? is there same limitation to video only? because, you see, I have HTPC in one room, and watch movies and other stuff with it, so spent money on some sheet I may use from time to time, is stupid, as the Pogo Dock at least save my microUSB port, and even have line out with an option to use optical cable, but the HDMI dock, only can show videos, so why the **** I need it then ? I do see it good with emulators if I not at hotel or something, but if MHL adapter can mirror, and it cost much much less, why buy that dock? also some aftermarket HDMI docks can mirror the screen, like that:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...s_Adapters&hash=item2ebd72c665#ht_2529wt_1859
hell, that thing, can charge, sync, and mirror hdmi, and even can work with phone in a case, **** Samsung guys, aftermarket sometimes can be over 9000 times better that original, to bad there no pogo aftermarket one.

Bump

I have both OEM OTG adapter and MHL adapter for my GNex. I am running IMM76K deodexed, zipaligned. I can view files from flash drive, connect external drive, or do almost anything you can do with a computer using OTG adapter. And I can mirror phone on TV w/ MHL adapter w/sound and everything.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

The thing is, that the phone recognize the dock as a different accessory, not like regular MHL adapter, but most people I asked, on 4.0.4 it not mirror .
anyway I ordered the MHL adapter, and OTG, original Samsung BTW, I will need them just in case, but that case both cost less then that crap dock, but I could not resist not to buy the pogo dock , I know it not cheap, but it a cheap price for working micoUSB port
PS, check Kidigi docks, they support MHL, and even can charge second battery, sync, charge, and fit a phone with a case on it.

I bought the official pogo desktop dock from the Play Store for my GSM Nexus with CM9 nightly on it.
The dock's micro USB port ONLY works for charging!
If you plug it into a computer's USB, it will charge but will not connect, manually even says not to plug it into the computer because it may damage the dock, says to use a charger.
So not sure if OTG will work or not.

I just opened the box. Plugged in a USB drive in the back of the dock, no power is being supplied to the drive. I am not using an OEM Samsung otg cable. If undock and plug in the USB drive straight tot the phone it world no problem.
I will try with a powered HD and ill experiment with mirroring and non video outputs
edit: the dock does work with the OEM extended battery (w/ no case), it's a little tight, but actually fits pretty good

SlimPort + v1.4 HDMI Cable w/ Ethernet

I've just received the Analogix SlimPort HDMI adapter (SP1003) for my Nexus 5 and it works fantastically with my short 1-2 metre HDMI cables.
However, if I try a 10 metre cable, the display cycles between on and off every few seconds.
Now, I'm not sure whether it's the length of the cable or if it's the cable's version. My shorter cables are most probably version 1.3 HDMI cables. The 10m one is 1.4 with ethernet.
I've read somewhere that HDMI cables with ethernet do not work with SlimPort. Is that correct? Should I order an older 1.3 version? I'm thinking 10m is a bit excessive anyway and I'll probably go for 3 to 5 metres this time anyway. But I didn't want to order one with ethernet and experience the same problem!

I have a 3m 1.4a HDMI cable and experience the exact same situation. Same happened with a MHL 1.0 adaptor I tried with SG Note 3, so I concluded the cable is just to long for a phone to provide signal. But I'm not sure about this.

I have a hdmi 1.4w/ethernet cable that I use with my slimport. About 2m I think. No problems.

I have been wanting to buy a longer hdmi cable for my Analogix SlimPort SP1003. After reading a couple posts, I'm not sure if a longer cable will work as well.

I don't suggest to use a cable longer that 2m.

If you don't mind me asking, from where did you pick up your Analogix SlimPort? It looks like it's only available from a 3rd party seller on Amazon for $50, and I can't find any other reputable sellers that still sell it for it's original $30 price (or preferably lower ). Thanks.

So I sent the 10m cable back and ordered the cheapest 3m cable I could find from Amazon UK here. It doesn't even say what version it is, so I assumed it was 1.3 without ethernet.
I got lucky as this cable works perfectly. No dropouts at all.

I got my adapter from Amazon UK here for around £20 ($30) as I live in the UK. I can't seem to find the same one on amazon.com. One of the cheaper ones might be just as good as the adapter is only passive anyway.
