Oke so here is the question.
is it posible to do a setup with USB to vga/HDMI + keyboard&mous and maybe a USB stik/ExHDD?
all trough micro usb? or is there only 1 posibility that you use UDB to VGA/HDMI and the rest trough bluethoot/wifi?
i need to hook up my phone to my monitor vga port for a product presentation.
i really hope this is posible.
or maybe makeing it posible trough app wize.
sorry for my lack of english,but im in a hurry atm.
You need a mhl adapter...HDMI to MHL to TV.. need power to this cable also that connects to the side of the adapter.

Like above said, MHL to HDMI adapter. You can't connect any USB stick / keyboard or mouse to the phone while connected with the MHL adapter though.

I want to attach two usb devices to my Note.
One will be the MHL adapter and one will be the 2.4ghz wireless unit for a keyboard like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250996855143.
I need a Micro USB male to 1x Micro USB female and 1x USB female adapter.
These for some strange reason don't exist
I was just wondering if anyone has done anything similar.
I know I could get a Bluetooth keyboard, but I don't have one. I do however have the above keyboard
Oh wow! I'm interested into this keyboard! Does Lenovo Mini Wireless keyboard work perfectly with the Note? All buttons are recognized and trackball mouse is usable?
Its really good, i use it on my Note and my Libretto W100. The mouse and keyboard work perfectly.

You cannot attach 2 or more devices to the same usb port. You need an usb hub for that, but I don't know if the MHL would work with the hub. I will try later today to attach an usb hub and connect more devices, and will report my findings.

--------------------------------------------
I have successfully connected a self powered usb hub to the galaxy Note, and connected 2 thumb drives, a combo card reader, and a mouse. The Note mounted both of my thumb drives, as /usbstorage/sda and /usbstorage/sdb respectively. Then I inserted a mikroSD card into the card reader and the phone mounted it as sdc. I then inserted an sony memory stick into the card reader and it was mounted as sdd. All mounts were usable, and I could watch movies from them, and watch pictures, copy files from one to the other, etc... But, when I connected the mouse to the usb hub it didn't recognize it. Whatever combination I tried the Note would not recognize my mouse, when plugged into the usb hub. When plugged directly to the OTG cable it works perfectly, but won't work when connected to the hub (maybe cables are to long).
Using rooted stock xxla6 firmware.

Just found out, that usb otg and mhl cannot work simultaneously. When the MHL cable is plugged in, the GNote's microusb port will become an MHL port, and from that point it will not act as an usb host or usb slave. :-(
It's too bad, 'cause I really wanted to connect it to my full hd monitor and use a mouse and keyboard, too.

How about bluetooth mouse+keyboard instead ? That would keep your USB port free for MHL

That does work, and works a treat I might add.

This is the setup I'm going to do also. But as with topic, it's also very tempting to have everything USB powered. Since it will decrease latency and maybe power consumption as well? (as opposed to bluetooth) Well, MHL to HDMI will still drain our battery even if we connect it to power source
You can also try NZtechfreak's workaround:

Hi i wonder where i can buy a microusb splitter for my phone so that i can use, both usb keyboard and hdmi cable together. I just tried keyboard+mouse using a usb hub, and it worked fine...
does it even exist?
Sorry, but this can't work. When the phone is putting out HDMI, the USB can't be used as it takes the same connector pins. You can do what you want with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but sorry, not with wired.
try to find the smallest hub there is, that's the closest you will get to a usb splitter that works. Just splitting will never work, the signals have to be divided with some intelligence.
/edit... never mind didn't read the MHL/HDMI part... don't think that will work
I am also intrested in this topic. I want to plug in the HDMI cable and s remote controler. I want to use my phone as a media center.

You flat out can't; it is a limitation of the more common MHL implementation, and the Galaxy Nexus uses this MHL implementation.
Samsung had to use a new kind of MHL connection for the Galaxy S 3 to make this exact scenario possible.
*edit* You can plug in an HDMI cable and use a bluetooth remote, though, if that might work for your needs.
The new MHL adapter for the Galaxy S III supports both HDMI and USB OTG simultaneously, according to this article:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/06/29/galaxy-s-iii-new-mhl-connector-also-enables-usb-on-go/
I'm wondering if this means it could be used for USB OTG with a flash drive while charging the phone at the same time--something that's impossible with current adapters and cables. And does it also work with the Galaxy Nexus? Does anyone happen to have the adapter and a GN to test this?

My friend has an S3 and I know the 5 pin MHL adapter we use doesn't work with his because of the pin configuration, so I would assume if he can't get HDMI out using the 5pin, we won't be able to get HDMI out using the 11pin. Of course I am only guessing, but it makes sense to my mind.
I don't see how it could work, to use the HDMI out you need the charger cable plugged in to the MHL adaptor. So where would the OTG cable go?

Looks to me like the standard S3 MHL adapter has a micro USB "charging port". Could be that it could also accept an external drive. I don't have the phone or the cable yet, so I can't test. Maybe somebody who has both could post results?
it's not actually a charging port, it's a power port because apparently it needs more power to output HDMI, i.e. if you don't have the charger plugged in to the vacant port, no HDMI.
Samsung does sell a bunch of dual head micro usb to usb cables.... so maybe you need one of those and they sell this: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-R205UBEGSTA which says it allows you connect drives, keyboards, etc to S3's....
Yeah those work, I actually use this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-2...100-Note-i9220-Nexus-i9250-XOOM-/120894431890
or something similar, but you still can't use HDMI when you use those
you can however plug in keyboard, mouse, usb drive and anything else you want all at once which is cool

Is that one on eBay compatible with the S3????? Isn't the pin out's different?

only MHL is affected by the pins, usb OTG is not affected by the new layout
Now that my HOX has JB, I'm looking to get a USB OTG cable. However I want to know if there is a way to get say a USB hub to plug into the OTG cable and then connect a MHL cable into the hub to watch films and use a mouse to control it?
Good question. I don't think that will work. It would need to be directly connected to the USB port for MHL output. I don't have a phone with OTG, but as far as I know USB hubs can be used for keyboards, mice, gaming controllers and pen drives (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but not for MHL. You can use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse though, if you want.

I'm looking for an MHL cable which allows:
Full HD hdmi output
Charge the phone while in use
Can still use USB OTG to connect a keyboard/mouse dongle
Is this even possible?

Works fine for me.
I don't know about the keyboard part, but that shouldn't be a problem I assume.
This particular one is sold out, but shouldn't be hard to find someone else that sells the same. Only bad part is that the power cable part is short.
Thanks!
Meanwhile I found these:

I'm tempted to buy one, and see if they work.
Im wondering if we can output 1080p since z3c screen is only 720p
I'm amazed with this phone. Just tested a USB Ethernet dongle and it worked flawlessly out of the box.

z3c can output 4k videos over mhl, phone screen resolution has nothing to do with it

If your TV has an MHL port, passive MHL cable and you have an adapter, the extra micro usb on the adapter should be ok for USB OTG.
Sorry, but this a dumb, MHL noob question. Will any old micro-usb MHL adapter work, or do I need one specifically for a Sony phone or something?
Thanks
