Received HDTV Adapter from Verizon for Wifi Tab. Ordered from Verizon retail store last week and received today. Working as expected, mirroring everything. Takes standard HDMI cable. Need to connect traveler charger which came with gtab on one side of HDTV adapter to start display on TV or Monitor. Videos seems better than Gtab 7 with hdmi dock but picture is little bit cutting on the TV display. Tried all settings on TV but cant't fix it. I have US retail Rom on it. Adding some pics of the Adapter.
hey bro. Can you post a link to where you found that adapter. I can't find it anywhere e

I was hoping you wouldn't need to plug in the charger to be able to use the adapter as it makes the use of it a lot more inconvenient. I'm seriously dissappointed. Bad Samsung! Bad!
hey task650 i was unable to shop it via websites that's why i went to Verizon store in NY and the salesman ordered for me in the store and gave me receipt and told me it will ship via FedEx and the shipping is free. It's a 2 day delivery time because i ordered it on Thursday last week and received it on Monday. You can check maybe they have it in Verizon store now. CazeW yes the charger should be plugged into HDTV adapter in order to display on TV. First it seems inconvenient but then i thought for GTab 7 i need to plug the whole dock to display on TV. But i also want adapter to be used without charger.

This seems to be standard practice for MHL output. Every MHL device I've seen had the same requirement.

But it still feels kinda silly that the chip can't draw its power from the tab as I doubt it really needs that much juice.
That's why the 7" Galaxy Tab dock is a better buy as it has hdmi and a stand.
hi
is the gtab charging while the wallplug is attached to the hdmi out?
The need to plug in a charger to get HDMI out is just, for the lack of a better word, stupid.
At home I may have my setup with a dock and HDMI connector. But I want to be able to quickly connect the tablet to a TV, beamer or stereo when im on the go and not search for a wall outlet or even carry my charger with me just to show a few pictures or a movie.
Are you still on stock 3.1 have you flashed one of the TW ROMs? I hope this can be changed via an update because this requirement would make the HDMI adapter almost useless for me.
Edit: I just saw the picture of the manual. It seens I have to wait for an aftermarket solution or don't buy an HDMI adapter at all.
Yes the gtab charges while wallplug is attached to hdmi out. Now i am on original TW from samsung and still needs charger to display on TV.
I'm thinking of buying a small external battery to plug in when I want to use the HDMI adapter. Anyone tried if that works?
so I just went to a verizon store and they couldn't order it for me. But I am passing one more so I am bringing my tab in and showing them your picture as proof to have them try harder .
::edit::
Ok and that just worked lol they ordered it for me after looking at your picture like oh damn now I can't say no
That's good you did that. Most of their staff did not knew when i was asking about the adapter and they were showing me all sorts of hdtv stuff and finally one store able to help me out. So they charge you $39.99 plus tax right? Shipping is free.
Cazew good idea but i never thought of that so never used that configuration. But you will need strong battery right? Because i bought external battery for the iPad and the iPad never charges from the external battery maybe because power was not strong enough on the battery. Battery power capacity is 1900 mAH, Input : 5V 800mA, Output : 5V 500mA.

yea 39.99 plus tax with free 2 day shipping. I wonder if I ordered it with the other accessories I got recently if I would have gotten a discount on it like I did on them (thunderbolt case and dock charger)

To charge the Tab (and iPad) the external battery has to have an output of 2A at 5V (or get one of those charging cables from Ebay). I'm suspecting though that to use the HDMI adapter with an external battery you don't need that kind of output. If you still have that battery, would be great if you could test if it works with the adapter.
Thanks foe the information. Will stop by Verizon and order.
Anybody with the adapter notice any slowdown once mirroring? I'm getting some lag (in all apps) and white speckles (noise) on the tv screen (but not on the tab). Running latest rooted tw.

Not sure what MHL is but the Motorola Xoom's built-in HDMI miniconnector connects directly to a TV without the need of an external power source. Why couldn't they have made the Tab do this also?

Here's a list to get the adapter for a better price than Samsung.
I just placed an order at:
http://www.cellularaccessory.com/epl-3phpbegsta.html
I'll let you guys know how it went when I receive my adapter.
Seems like there are a few MHL adapters people have talks about here before. Of those, I've only found 2 with decent reviews.

http://www.monoprice.com/products/p..._id=1083314&p_id=8675&seq=1&format=4#feedback
Can anyone who has bought either of these confirm whether they can charge the phone while it's playing video or games?
The reviews on Monoprice indicate that it throttles charging down to 500ma, which is probably not enough to sustain the ET4G while playing a game.
Yes, the monoprice adapter charges at the same time.
It's actually a feature that's built into the standard. When TVs come out that are compatible you will no longer use the adapter or power cable. You will use a single cable to mirror your phone's display and the TV will provide the power to charge it at the same time...

I saw these on ebay and they look a little different than the on that is made for the epic 4g touch.. When you connect it to the tv, is any part of the phone screen cut off? I bought a generic one and half of the notification bar is cut off at the top and then a little of the bottom.
I have this same one. Just FYI in my experience. I have watched several shows from phone on TV and while it does charge, I was slowly losing charge... So eventually My phone would have died. I'm talking like 15+% per 40 min shows. I'm using wall power adapter.

last night I Just started going through the 177 page of crap that comes up for "epic touch" looking for goodies. (most crap cases
if you have FF and you keep EBAY as your default "search" option all you have to do is highlight that number right click "search ebay" (it will "search" whatever engine you have "active" in the search box) not sure if its built in or its a addon I have I think its built into FF.
otherwise yes just plug that number into ebay.

For most things I don't care if its OEM as long as it works (I have learned to prefer OEM batteries unless they are good batteries)
Monoprice. are those prices shipped? is that like a deal extreme site?
Not at all like dealextreme, they ship from california.

I would say it is OEM. I picked this one up 120792846359 back in October and it was OEM and works great. Was the lowest I could find at that time.
Does the Samsung cable have a charging port as well?
I don't know I sure hope so.
although with the extended battery it looks like I can play about 84 minutes of video and I was down to 85% battery life so about 5.6 to 1 minutes to percent. so roughly 560 minutes or about 9+ hours per charge.
WOW and that is at full volume and full screen brightness. assuming that depletion rate holds (I just might have to test that one day)

Got mine in the mail today and it is indeed an OEM samsung adapter. Works perfectly and it does charge while playing. Thank you for the heads up.

Monoprice is the bomb. I get tons of quality cables, speaker stuff, etc. from them for incredible prices. Did I mention that their stuff is quality too?
I bought the one from Monoprice that locoboi187 linked in post #7. It's working fine. It was $11 shipped.
In addition to the HDMI jack, the adapter also has a jack to plug in your phone charger, and thus power the adapter and also charge your phone. I had made the assumption that connecting the charger was an optional nicety, but it turns out to be required. It has to be plugged in so that the tv will see the connection. That makes it a little cumbersome since you have both the HDMI cable and the charger cable to contend with, but it works.
Question: Is there any way to turn off the phone screen while its outputting video to the tv?
I don't have anything with HDMI so I can not test but have you tried simply pressing power to turn off the screen?
I know in many programs the program keeps running (podcast player)
moboplayer turns off when you hit power time permitting and if I remember I will try some others. Does core player make an android app?
I bet one of them has a "screen off" function.
If you press the power button to turn off the screen, then the HDMI output turns off too.
I picked up the monoprice mhl hdmi adapter, looks solid. I didnt like the fact that the samsung "oem" one on ebay didnt show a picture of it having a seconday micro usb for charging the phone. I also picked up 220855903037 from ebay. I plan to use both together with 160708041305 and my logitech 5.1 surround setup. Going to have a 20" lcd monitor on the corner table. This will achieve a make shift jukebox. I hope it all turns out like im hoping. Ill make a post with the results.

Will let anyone interested know how well it works when I receive it, as well as my phone lol.
I live in a small apartment and my living room is pretty small. I got the idea to connect a 10-15 ft micro usb extension from my tv using this adapter. does anyone know if a length like that will affect charge performance? how about HDMI performance as well?
hey guys
id love to hear from you guys.. seen those on amazon for 30+ USD.. and shipping to israel is INSANE from amazong.
dont forget to give us an update on both!

I believe so. The hdmi is for the video/audio, and the USB is for charging, so you would have to connect to two ports, then you can plug into your micro USB in your phone. Most smart tv's nowadays have usb and allow for charging, so this is convenient as it will be right near the hdmi. I don't think they allow to charge with the tv off though, in case you were wondering like me. (Was planning on using this as my main charger, but not if tv has to be on to charge lol
Hi, today i received the adaptor but High bitrate Full HD video playback seems to have frames drop and GSM network drop on my n5 32Gb stock

Have you tried different HDMI cables?
Yup, I've tried 3 different HDMI cables of varying lengths. My only thought is to try a different TV... but that's kind of useless as I wanted to use it on the living room tv which is actually brand new in itself (only 1 month old). All of my other HDMI devices have no problems, but this is totally broken.
Is there much lag using the Slimport adapters?
I measured my wife's GS3 today through MHL by recording a running stopwatch app and the lag was minimal at 0.04s which made me think it would be great for gaming on the big screen. Thing is I found that when I ran an emulator the lag seemed to increase to a point where games were unplayable.
I'm thinking of getting a slimport for my nexus 5 for gaming mainly as I thought the delay would be a lot less than Miracast but I read somewhere that not only does the slimport affect any lag time between the phone and TV but also the TV itself. Just wondering if anyone our there has used the slimport or miracast for gaming with success?

I have not used it extensively (for gaming) but I have used it with a game called Beat Hazard and it works very well. Also works without problems with a game called Waking Mars. I have not played for more than 10 minutes mind you. I use the video output for XBMC (movies), which works splendidly.

Does anybody know of an MHL to HDMI adapter that works with the Galaxy Tab S? I have one for my wife's Galaxy SIII that outputs video but does not charge the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 that I have - it recognizes power but has the little no charging symbol over the battery. Just curious if anyone knows of an adapter that does both, displays video and charges the Tab S?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the "official" Samsung MHL to HDMI adapter that I bought for my Galaxy S3. This adapter works also with my Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Tab S.
IIRC, you have to plug things in that order for it to work :
- Power to the MHL adapter
- HDMI to the TV
- HDMI to the MHL adapter
- MHL to the Android device
At least, that's how I'm doing it and it works... HDMI is displayed AND the tab is charged. I tried with the charging adapter that came with the Tab S.
Hope this helps.
BTW, my adapter looks like this one :

I have a Fosmon adapter that does not work. Tried it your suggested way and nothing appears on the screen. You don't need to activate anything on the tab, do you?
I need this for next week. I wonder how fast amazon can get that one you use out to me.

You need to use one specific for Samsung. Their pinout is different and a normal MHL adapter will not work on Samsung hardware.

No, it worked the first time I tried without having to change any setting or launch any app.
Well I guess I'll have to try the adapter that dcoulombe referenced on Amazon. The adapter I have is the Cirago version but I guess the adapter I have just doesn't pass along enough power to the tablet to actually charge it. It works fine otherwise, as in it outputs to the TV fine, just doesn't charge the tablet. I'm guessing the Samsung version must pass along more power through the adapter to the tablet.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Have you ever found fully working adapter/cable? I've tried these two:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LL1LD1C/
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESM3UVC/
and none of them works. First one does mirroring but only at 24Hz refresh rate but does not charge. 2nd one is not working at all, it does not charge Tab S (it does for S3) and no video output but maybe I got defective one.
if Sammy is changing the standard setup for a reason then i would like to know what that is. if its to sell their own stuff for profit then lets see the stuff???
since the Tab Pro release there has been NO updated adapters by Sammy and their website clearly does not show compatibility for most of this stuff past the S3
weird and i like most of you have bought many things to find half work as good enough for now at best

Yes it dis. As expected. I havnt had to use it in ages so I don't remember if it charged or not. Sorry I forgot to reply back!

No problem. Any chance you could test to see if it streams and charges simultaneously? That seems to be the problem with a lot of these MHL adapters they will play video no problem but often not charge at the same time which makes the battery drain insanely fast.

i am 99.99% sure that we are not going to see what we have all searched the ebay and internet world for unless Sammy makes it and since our device has aged now i doubt.
i spent over $100 extra trying items with no luck

Sorry do you mean no cheap ebay amazon etc adapter will output video and charge at the same time. Only the adapter made by samsung will do this? I seen you with the same problem I had in another thread and am curious to what you have figured out.

i dont think you will find something to fully charge and video out. you will find charge at 1amp but that will just prolong your use but eventually run the battery out and you need to find video out with 2amp charge combined with Tab ability to recognize it which i do not believe you will find.

So right now my adapter shows no sign of it actually doing any charging. Is it possible that it is charging at the 1amp but just not displaying it?
Is the samung adapter the only one that can accept the 1amp charge?
I'll have to search for it. Not sure where it is.
