Hello,
I know that another threat exist about the possibility to connect a rca television on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. It seems that it WAS impossible with the samsung adaptator vor galaxy tab 7.
But what about this one ...
w w w.mobilefun.co.uk/32630-USB-TVAV-Composite-Cable-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10-1-Reviews.htm#reviews
It seem a that it's a correct product for the correct tablet.
I heard that rca connector have to be powered and this is the case here with the usb connector.
Do you thing it could be a good solution ???
the web site seem to be clear but....)
Thx
I am looking at the same thing. Will this work? Anyone?
i doesnt work
I have one the USB is for charging. You get audio but no video. I tried a few because I use in my car. There is a HDMI out adapter then you can get HDMI to a/video converter. Audio out sounds best from the headphone slot because of the hardware the tablet uses.

Hi, as you know SGS2 doesn't support video via 3.5mm jack like SGS does, and I was wondering if there's any way of converting HDMI to RCA?
I found this cable:
www .amazon .com/HDMI-RCA-VGA-Cable-1-8ft/dp/B002ZUI68G/ref=pd_cp_e_3
(remove spaces from the link)
but I doubt it would work as you need digital to analog conversion and the cable doesn't seem to have any "black box" that could do it.
Can anyone reccommend any (cheap) ways of connecting SGS2 to TV via RCA using phones USB port?
BTW if Samsung did it same way like they did with SGS it would make peoples lifes so much easier!!!

This is something I have tried and did not work. I bought an MHL adaptor for Samsung S2 and also HDMI to RCA cable with black box. The video and audio did not work with HDMI to RCA cable. Need help here.

From my understanding you need the micro usb mhl to scart then a scart cable going into a hdmi to composite downgrader and then you can hook up the rca cable - I haven't done this as would work out quite expensive but quite sure it would work as your problem is the hdmi to rca cable they never work as don't downgrade signal.
If anyone finds a cheaper way please let me know.
Also wondering if there is anyway to use allshare with apple tv box as I have one of these - if anyone cam help that would be great.
Apologies for highjacking thread a little bit but as a new user I'm unable to post my own thread yet!
Thanks in advance.
Hey all,
Not sure if this is possible but I want to somehow have audio out through the MHL/micro usb port of my s2. Reason being that it would be much nicer in the car to have 1 cord for charging and music rather than one cord for each.
Does the MHL port support this or could there possibly be an accessory to change the HDMI out feature to audio-only aux?
thanks!
also wondering about this for my AV receiver
i went ahead and ordered the HDMI MHL cable to test Spotify through my AV Receiver.
Since the HDMI audio is digital data I wouldn't bother researching down this lane.
But there certainly are docking stations that charge the SGS2 and offer a 3.5mm line-out at the same time, so it must be possible.
Pinout anyone?

Don't understand what you mean here?
If you'd like to use the HDMI audio you would have to add a digital-analog-converter in order to feed your car stereo the analog line audio it needs. Plus I don't think the connector will allow charging while in HDMI mode.
So maybe it's best to put that port on the SGS2 into Home Dock or Car Dock mode. You might get some further help wit the pinout in this thread.

I think you're getting me confused with the original poster. My question was in regards to outputting just audio (Spotify) through my Onkyo AV receiver. There shouldn't be any issue with this, right? I've only seen the MHL-HDMI cable used on a TV directly, and not through a receiver.
Also, would it be possible to plug the SGS2 with the MHL-HDMI cable directly into the HDMI 1.4 input on the back of the TV, and use the ARC feature (Audio Return Channel) to feed either 2.1 or 5.1 audio back through the HDMI cable linking the TV and receiver to the surround sound speakers?
Wait, if HDMI out audio is digital out, can we play around to get a clean digital out signal that would play nice with portable external DACs?
Sounds impossible but who knows?

That's exactly what happened, my bad.
Unfortunately I haven't got the HDMI cable for the SGS2 yet but for the ARC feature I'd say it depends on your TV. Maybe you can try feeding an existing HDMI source to it and verify that a HDMI-in on the TV can be routed via ARC to your AVR.

Yes, supposedly my TV can do that with the Freeview HD tuner audio, but I'm waiting for my antenna to put that to the test.
Solution: HD Fury II or HD Fury III. They have 2 channel analog output from HDMI input.
To clear up some things about MHL:
First of all MHL is not HDMI. By default, your phone needs to support MHL and your TV/Receiver/whatever also needs to be able to receive MHL signals.
There is no fixed connector type for MHL (the plug can either be proprietary or a readily available one such as USB or HDMI). Phones have MHL hardware connected to their USB ports. Upcoming TVs will have additional MHL hardware connected to their existing HDMI inputs.
You cannot use an ordinary USB<->HDMI type MHL cable to connect your phone to any HDTV. It will not work. You need an active cable that receives a MHL signal from the USB side, internally decodes it and reencodes it as HDMI, and then outputs it via the HDMI side of the cable to any HDMI device. That's why the cables are expensive.
The good news pertaining to this thread:
The active MHL cables we've seen so far are very small and compact. Basically the only thing you need is an MHL decoder which has an audio line out. There is no need for a HDMI DAC.
I can confirm that the Samsung MHL-HDMI cable for the SGS2 outputs both video and just audio beautifully to my home theatre receiver.
MHL to VGA is an option
Please excuse the necroposting. For future people who run across this thread when searching for MHL Audio products.
I discovered these products after some searching around:
http://vgaadapter.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/ikross-mhl-micro-usb-to-vga-display-and.html
http://www.ecvv.com/product/2822782.html
I'm not sure of the quality of the audio DAC but its an option.
But so is the Samsung Desktop dock or the car dock for charging and playing music at the same time through one plug.
i can't believe, but ac adaptor charger and p2-p2 or p2-rca cable work like a charm here
I'm looking for a way to play both Spotify from my SGS2 through my Onkyo AV receiver to my speakers, as well as just play videos from my SGS2 through the Onkyo so that I can watch videos from sites like charlierose.com (which uses flowplayer), etc. on my TV.
Should this work? Anyone received their cable from play.com sooner than expected? Hoping it doesn't take the 1-2 weeks.
And what about this cable ?
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ca-156-usb-hdmi-adapter-cable-for-nokia-53688
It is for Nokia but Nokia also supports MHL so I assume it can be used for the Galxy S2 ??
That doesn't look like a MHL cable to me; the small end should have a 5-pin micro USB, and the MHL-to-HDMI conversion requires a bridge chip, which needs to be powered, which is why the other MHL adapters require you to plug in a charger.

its actually not a usb cable at all.
its a second cable packaged with the n8 that plugs into a mini-hdmi port on the top of the phone converting it to a regular size hdmi socket to connect to a screen..
still useless for the sgs2

I buyed i9100 about 3 weeks ago, and i know that s2 supports hdmi trough mhl, but i'm not shure does s2 supports simple tv out cable(RCA 3.5mm), i tried to connect my tv and s2 and nothing happends.. I saw on internet that peoples selling RCA cables and saying it works with s2 but i also noticed that they have some kind of covertor on cable, here are some pics of my RCA cable an here is a link where i saw RCA cable for s2, so my question is: How i can manage my phone to output phone screen on my tv with this cable(it it's possible)?
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9fh3ppg63ims23i/A_4Jt2e_PT
nope. it doesn't work, that feature is only present on the galaxy s1. the s2 only supports mhl out through the micro usb and with an hdmi connection.
Ok, i was hoping that this might work because my tv doesn't supports hdmi

The S2 dont have analog output, only have digital output MHL HDMI.
This cable is presumably for IPod video or some device that has Analog Video OUT.
and its have sound because they are plugged into the audio output.
Sorry for my English (Google Translated)
Do you know what is the solution for that? Should I buy a sort of converter or something else?
Buy an sgs1 off eBay for £20 second hand yes£20 I couldn't believe it either there very cheap now. It does what you want I have both sgs1 and sgs2 never sold the sgs1 because it has this feature also has one of the best sound chips of any mobile phone .

Hi guys,
I have made some search without a real outcome. Sorry if I have missed it.
I am planning to buy an all-in-one car entertainement system (1 Din 7 inch motorized with detachable front panel). For example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-TVIEW-D...ts_w_o_GPS&hash=item46121eb3f1#ht_3643wt_1133
I would like to be able to connect my SGN via the mhl adaptor the RCA video-input port of the car entertainement system (RCA video input port).
1) What are the options available? I already have the MHL HDMI cable.
2) But it looks like I need a sort of an HDMI to RCA converter? Am I going to loose any video quality/resolution (the car entertaienemt system is 800*480)?
What would be the best set-up according to you?
Thanks in advance

To be honest, i recomend not using the note but get an old samsung galaxy S
It has a RCA cable.
If you really need the notes power, mount it somewhere and use its screen.
or use this.
