I basically want to view pictures&videos stored on the phone on *any* LCD TV.
Can someone please help clarify these questions:
- the Medialink HD needs a WiFi connection to work, otherwise it's a 90$ door stopper?
- alternative for simple mirroring the screen is a MHL cable such as M490 MicroUSB to HDMI, but it requires charging while operating?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-AC-M490-Cable-Sensation/dp/B005CNLGAS
what the hell is out there to serve the simple purpose of showing some pictures&videos on a large screen while visiting someone's house? without needing to have WiFi or wall charger all the time.
Currently the MHL Cable is the best bet to get onto any HDMI equipped TV. If that TV does not have a USB output to power the adapter (and hence the phone) then I have found taking a portable battery pack that I have serves that purpose well. It’s 5000mAh which is more than enough to keep things going for an evenings films. Plus as it only charges at 500mA (if I use a standard USB cable) instead of the wall charger’s 1A the phone doesn’t get so hot.
However...something to consider if you do have access to WiFi, and don’t want to shell out of that HD Media Link....
I was going to buy one myself until I bought my NAS drive. It has a built-in media server called Twonky which my Xbox and PS3 can stream from. Stupid name aside, I wondered if there was an android version.

If (like my friends) they have either an Xbox, PS3 or Windows PC hooked up to the TV, these can (via a WiFi network) stream a move straight off your phone and play on the TV. It works well. Hard to determine the effect on battery drain as I am one of the ones with this WiFi hardware fault, and my battery life in general on WiFi is shocking.
I just bought this, but not arrived yet.

I just bought the same too, works nicely
BTW, you do need the USB powered else the adaptor doesn't work
How do you expect to show pictures/video on a tv screen without wifi or MHL? Bluetooth is too slow...
You can use any DLNA supported thing over wifi to send pictures or video. The HTC Media Link is the only thing able to mirror the screen though.
I just wanted to add,the media link hd has is own WiFi. If you are in an area without WiFi it will act like an access point for the hox. In fact you have to configure it to use your network.oob it uses is own WiFi.
So no need for external WiFi...

@domsch: Thats exactly what i was missing from the big picture! Are you sure i can connect the phone to the MPHD without having an external wifi available?
I dont need a power supply because i dont intend to stream full movies or something, just to display pictures and small clips shot with the phone when im visiting family...

There are a lot of instances where WiFi isn't present. Hotel rooms, visiting parents etc.
Just to confirm. The media link hd doesn't need a WiFi network to work. It can produce its own signal that the phone can connect to.

One X doesn’t have a dedicated video out port, so there are no direct HDMI/Composite/Component cable solutions.
You can either
Connect your phone as a mass storage device to the TV or Media player (If they support USB devices)
Use a MHL adaptor (requires power)
DLNA (requires a DLNA capable TV or a Media player).

I bought this here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008KED6WW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
it works flawlessly...plug it in to the charger port(it has to be plugged in to work), and plug the other micro sd cable into your phone, and anything on your phone will appear on the television....I then took a S-jack to S-jack(small plug like on your headphones) and plugged it into the phone, and the other end into my tv's audio input...go into the tv menu...select the HDMI imput you plugged into, and select the audio input to On and I was good to go...audio and video...you could also plug your s-jack into your home theater or something as well...hope this helps...Larry

This is precisely the answer... standard MicroUSB > HDMI adapters do not work. The key is to get an "MHL" adapter.
Can someone please tell me if you can stream youtube like that, also if it can work on dvi screen, of course with hdmi to dvi adapter.

Just received EPL-3PHP HDMI adapter from Amazon UK (£23.00) and happy to confirm working with my GT-N8010 with latest UK JB 4.1.2
Is it possible to attach a BT trackball/keyboard without a dongle, or somehow use an other adapter I can attach (possible by a double adapter)
Once connected to my TV the only way to change any input is via the Note.
Thanks
Could you please link me to that product at that price?

Hi Purchased from Amazon UK (seller was Amazon)http://http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0051D3KKI/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 actual price £23.55 but now looks like Amazon have suspended that item until they review a complaint, suggest you keep an eye on that link.
Surprised No has been able to answer my question regarding BT trackball!!!
If its a BT track ball I would think it will hook up just fine, same way a BT mouse would.
Just to let you know if you are in the UK with a HMV store nearby you can get these for £10. Picked up a couple last week.

Hi which one do you have, how do you connect it to the tablet, I assume its just Bluetooth no dongle, thanks.:good:
Simple the original one:
http://www.amazon.de/PlayStation-Du...HY/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1362585611&sr=8-10
bought it when it was on amazon for 35€ incl. shipping!!! nice deal i thought. I do connect it with the app "sixaxxis" (bluetooth). Requires root though, but pretty nice app. Now i can play all the games of my childhood: zelda (oot, n64), tekken (psx) without the need to install the damn ugly consoles in my living room .. thats just awesome!!
After installing the app I noticed that you can emulate a mouse. That is very useful to me for streaming movies from my server, look something up on imdb and so on with the hdmi adapter...
any more questions? ?

Thanks, not rooted, do not want to go in that direction, so am I correct in assuming you can only connect bt directly to tablet when you root it, otherwise I need a dongle??
So no way of having it connect to bt when using the hdmi adapter, bummer.
Question: Is the HDMI output lag-free, do the homescreens run smooth and is the image quality okay?
I just sent back the wireless allshare adapter because the streamed image has 15FPS when not buffered, the quality is worse than i expected and it ends every multitasking capability of the Note.

Well, keep in mind the ASCD won't mess with the resolution or color depth of the image displayed on the LCD, so if you see video quality issues (bad scaling or graininess or such) it's likely due to what your TV does with the not-quite 720P resolution of the signal from the Note 10.1 (1280x720 isn't a native resolution of most monitors and likely scales it to 1366x768), so I'm betting that the picture via the HDMI hard-wired cable will look the same (on static images) as did the picture from the ASCD.
Got mine here:

New 2013 model of HDTV Adapter?
I'm shopping around for an HDTV Adapter for my GT-N8010 at the moment, and I've noticed that several online shops are advertising a new 2013 model - EPL-NPHPBKG.
e.g. - www dot amazon dot com /Original-Samsung-Genuine-EPL-NPHPBKG-EPL-3PHPBEG/dp/B00B8NJ6E4
They claim that it is the next verson of EPL-3PHPBEG (the model that this thread is about). Does anyone know what the difference is? The only thing I can see that might be an improvement is "Simultaneously charge your Galaxy Note 10.1 while streaming". I've seen reports on other threads about their tablet not charging while plugged in to the HDTV adapter. Can you confirm if this functionality exists on your EPL-3PHP?

Ah. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166540
Hi,
I dont know the id of my hdtv adapter but as far as i own it since the early days of my previous tab 10.1 (p7500) I am pretty sure it's the "old" one.
I can confirm the adapter is definetly charging my n8000 while connected to my tv behind the docking station (universal samsung), streaming .mkv from my ubuntu desktop / server machine and being controlley by emulated mouse with my ps3 gamepad (via sixaxxis).
Sure you won't win a speed challange with that configuration but the main point is it is charging. I guess about ~ 2..3 % / 0,5..1,0 h (never did a measurement ) but still charging. Thats pretty nice because sometimes when I come home from university and the battery is nearly empty (sometimes 2 days of usage with a single charge) I plug my note into the docking station, let it charge to 3 or 4 %, turn it on and start streaming. When I end the day and shut down the tv the note is at about ~10% and ready to get charged the whole night.

Looks good!
Update, just purchased apple Magic Trackpad looks like it works on my Tablet, No Dongle just Pin number input for connecting, so in theory I will be able to use it to control Note 10.1 whilst connected via HDMI adapter to TV, will confirm when it arrives this week.
Just received my EPL-3PHPBEG from Expansys. It was not the most expensive, but dirt cheap either. It works. It says it is for the Tab 10. The price on this seems to vary wildly with the cheaper ones (19-25$) all seeming to be out of stock, except today went back to Amazon and the Zeeestmm version now seems to be in stock and going for 29.00$
It works for my purpose - Powerpoint and other document projection. It does need to be powered, and the tab needs to be rebooted at least for the projector to recognize it. So it's working fine on my Tab Note 10.1.
What chaps me about Samsung, it the myriad of numbers and letters, all a bit different, but all seeming to be the same item. I thought it was bad with the phones and tabs, but it is beyond annoying with accessories.

Thanks for the reminder. Probably the image will look not better than before. However, it was not a difficult decision why i sent the Allshare Cast Hub back to amazon. For 60€ it's just to much for what it would have been for me. Ending all MultiWindow possibilities is probably the worst part. Well, with the HDMI cable i won't be able to connect USB anymore .. so everything has pros and cons. For what it offers, the wireless adapter was just too expensive and i was really annoyed that it was never remarked on ANY website i read that it ends multitasking features of the Note 10.1.
What do you need exactly.? How much?
I want plug it on a TV.
I don't want chrome cast, just want see movie from the tablet to the TV.
My TV has usb port.
Still waiting for nexus to come. So I m just asking.
You need to buy a slimport adaptor, that is the ONLY way to send video to the TV (or chromecast, but you said you don't want that.

Yes but chrome cast need internet. No?
It s only for your tube.
I won't have internet....
Miracast is also a reasonably good option. I bought a Netgear PTV3000 and has been using for the last 2 weeks. It works properly. But once every 2 or 3 minutes, the video will stop for 1 second. It doesn't happen all the time though. I think its probably the range. Also, it happens sometimes if somebody walks in between the tablet and receiver. I don't have any complaint picture quality vice. But it doesn't show in full screen in my TV, there are borders on all four sides, probably because my TV's resolution and tablet resolution are different.
I saw one of these cool looking "MHL hub" devices for sale on eBay for between 10 and 15 dollars and was wondering if anyone has had any luck with them on the L900 Note2. I ask because I know the domestic versions of these devices often have many features locked out or missing (FM radio, tv-out, etc.).
Also, for those people who have confirmed they work, does using it just as a card reader require that external power be connected? Does using the HDMi output feature require power be connected? Can HDMi output, the card reader, and the usb slot be used simultaneously or can they only be used one at a time? Lastly, will such a unit fit a Note2 with an otterbox defender?
Thanks.

mhl/HDMi
Any updates on this?
I would guess no one has used it. What I can answer for you is that hdmi always requires power. I would think that everything would work at once (my hdmi dock hub does) like a normal usb hub. Now would it work with your case. That would depend on how much room you have when you connect usb.
