Probably stupid question but I am still confused. does this phone have HDMI out? I read it does but there is no port.
Yes, Same plug as your power.
Www.monoprice.com has cords for just a few bucks goodluck

[Nice, thanks for the super quick reply. What type of HDMI cord does it need? because I know a regular HDMI cord will not do given the size of the micro USB port.
I guess something like this, id shop around see if you could find a better price from link above otherwise $15 aint that bad of a price

Its called MHL. It is a technology that is phenomenal and is being overlooked for the most part. Even phones that are capable of it don't advertise that they are capable of it. It is a simple adapter that plugs into your USB on your device and gives you a full size HDMI port to connect to your TV.
Does it charge your phone at the same time?

Your phone plugs into mhl, mhl has hdmi to tv. Mhl also needs a power source, so it is plugged into the wall. I think it is able to keep charged.
This creates full mirroring. Meaning you can play angry birds on your phone and have it up on the big screen

I heard something about being able to sync a wireless controller with your phone threw a app!?
Is this true

Yes the app is called sixaxis and it makes a ps3 control work with phone. You must be rooted. If this helps you please thank me.

Why does it have to be so ugly though!
I dont think it looks that bad but it would suit me better than a mhl cable if it supports charging through usb and not hdmi as i dont think my tv supports this
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
The official mhl cable has a micro usb socket on it so you can charge your phone with a usb charger while connected to your hdmi tv.

That looks damn good imo. I want one
I think it has not a hdmi port but just a micro usb port

Yes I saw that too but thought that they had updated it to include hdmi.

This dock has no HDMI, it does not even allow to connect to PC, or at least I read so.
It simply allows to charge the device and output audio.

According to the article, Engadget thinks it does.
£40 is pretty expensive if it's just a dumb dock. It would make more sense if it had hdmi out, but we'll probably have to wait a while to find out either way.
Why are there 2 buttons on the right of the dock? The S2 only has the power button on the right.
the 2 buttons on the side are the volume controls
they are on the wrong side.

What defines a 'wrong side' to put the volume controls on?
Amazon uk and Mobile Fun are selling these for £29.99.Unfortunately I'm not allowed to post links

So can you connect your phone to the pc and transfer files with this dock? On mobilefun it says "The official Samsung Desktop Dock is designed to hold your phone while simultaneously synchronising and charging it.", so I guess you can?

The fact that I doubt that the buttons on the dock do anything other than push the button down on the phone underneath similar to a gel case button. The fact that they are on the right would mean nothing underneath to push on. Also it would make no sense to put the button on a different side to the phones buttons as this would just confuse/piss off users.
If the buttons actually control the phone via usb then this is a needless expense and would explain why a simple dock is so expensive.
I am thinking about getting a Verizon gnex. One specific function I am looking for is screen mirroring or navigation only output to my car DVD player. My DVD player only has component inputs. Yellow, red, white. Is there an adapter that would patch into that, and what are the video output possibilities on the device so far?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
I as well was looking into the same thing. I couldn't find one one the web anywhere I looked. So if you can't find one there may be an alternative. You could try to cook up your own adapter if you know a little bit about circuitry and have some soldering skills.
Hope this helps

You will need a MHL to HDMI cable as well as an HDMI to composite converter box such as this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0047PDBP0/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1328454437&sr=8-1
Unfortunately that box needs to be powered so you will need to either get a DC to AC inverter to plug in to the cigarette lighter and then plug in the adapter that came with the box or find something that will scale the DC voltage from the car battery to whatever voltage is required by the converter.
It sounds complicated but isn't really. Good luck!

Hi everyone. I need some help my son has just damaged my USB/charging cable that came with my GSM Galaxy Nexus. And I have a brand new unopened usb cable from my PS3. Can I use that cable without any problems? Can it damage my GNex? Thanks.
Any USB cable should work just fine assuming its got the proper pins for power and not just data.
Thanks. Well considering that the PS3 cable is used for charging also I should be fine. Right?
If the connections are same size u should be good

Yes, PS3 cables are MINI USB thus making them useless for charging the Gnex. Gonna head out to see if I can find a cheap micro usb.

Hi,
I have mhl cable
I have HDMI cable.
I have LG LED HDTV
I connected the mhl cable to my s4 and connected HDMI cable to the mhl port. I switched on TV and selected the HDMI as the input but nothing is coming up on my TV screen.
In my knowledge, using mhl cable or adaptor I should be able to share my screen on my TV.
Any idea why it's not working as intended. Also is there is any way to play games on to my TV from my phone?
Your help is much appreciated.:thumbup:

Try The Samsung Brand
Samsung Makes a MHL to HDMI OTG style converter, I got one from amazon and it works for me, They tend to be a little bit more money compared to other though
Thanks All for your replies. that makes sense.
i will try to buy one, any recommendations apart from the Samsung brand?
