[Accessory] Thoughts on these eBay HDMI adapters? - Galaxy S III Accessories

Here's some new adapters I've found (atleast I didn't see them there last week). In the title it mentions they work for the Galaxy S III, so I wonder if it actually does. They use MHL in the name too:

I'd post this in the accessories section but aparently new topics can't be made through there?

Definally won't work.. it mentions One X thus it is 5pin
You need a 11pin one or an adapter

That sucks, so does that mean an 11 pin adapter wouldn't work on a device that uses 5 pin?
That 5pin to 11pin adapter allows adapters such as this one to work though?

As clove give a mid june date, anyone know other site to buy a mhl cable now?
try here, but its more expensive
http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Galaxy-...183007?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5ae01ef99f
note: this was supposed to be sold for the galaxy s, but i think it didnt work, so it was abandoned. I think that what happenend. If im wrong, someone kindly correct me please
Hum, I think that MHL is a different kind of cable, in concept it is the same input output, but the middle conversor I dont know.
I prefer not to try at that price until I know for sure
Is this not all that is needed

I doubt that'll work as it's not an MHL connector, which I understand is HDMI and USB combined, but if it somehow does... bargain!
Lol now i look properly its not going to work at all
imo very stupid not to use standard HDMI mini port... now we have to buy adapters and ****.. and the phone won't charge if you don't have special adapter.. epic fail imo.. anyway they should include adapters with the phone.
I agree, they should include the required cables and adapters in the box, other manufacturers like Nokia do with their flagship handsets.
I think MHL will ultimately be better than mini HDMI port though, since its looking very likely to become the next standard connection.
I'm hoping to get one of the MHL cable/adapters from the MHL consortium for my Clove Blog review, if I do then I will post up a youTube video for everyone. At the present time the consortium PR person is trying to procure one for me, but it seems likely its inordinately difficult, so remains to be seen whether I will have it in time for the review.
In the very least, you'd expect them to have manufactured and released the accessories by the time the actual phone is released.

due to my low post count i cant post this as a link.
have spotted this adaptor for the HTC Flyer, says will be in stock 16/5
I assume this would work guess a little more research needed 1st.
Here you go... It's supposedly the official Samsung Galaxy S II MHL adaptor.

First stock due mid-June just saying.
Can someone confirm for me that this is the same cable. They call it an Ethernet Micro-HDMI (Type D).
Edit: Monoprice[)0Tcom has them for like 5 bucks. I can give the link so you can see the cable once I get some more posts in here.
I'm not worried about the Ethernet part, it should not get in the way because the extra connections for it are female.
Also, there is a lot of great info on these forums. Look forward to sticking around and modding some phones in the future.
Edit 2: So when searching for the Samsung cable by Goog'ling the phone, they call it either "microUSB" or "HML port"
That site has two different types that they call: Mini-HDMI (Type C) and Micro-HDMI (Type D) the type C looks like the usual Samsung cable connection, I was just wondering if there is some different way they wired the Samsung cables so that we had to use those ones. I cannot see them doing that though since there are many devices switching to the same cable as well.
The trick is that standard HDMI so far does not include a link for power. The Samsung MHL adapter has a microUSB plug that connects into the phone and a microUSB jack to connect your charger, and the mini-HDMI jack to hook up to the TV so the device gets charged while playing back. In a future specification update, HDMI will probably be amended to include a power link.

Clove told me that the MHL cables from different manufacturers will be compatible which is useful to know. I guess they all conform to the standard

Just seen this in the description for the HTC version - interesting
" Also if your television supports MHL enabled HDMI connections, then you can charge your HTC Sensation when connected and control the Sensation using the television remote (MHL enabled televisions expected late 2011)"

[Q] Does this Nokia cables work with SGS II?

I found this Nokia cables for N8, and they are cheaper than Samsung cables, and i wonder if someone tested them?
Nokia Adapter for HDMI CA-156
Nokia Adapter Cable for USB OTG CA-157
HDMI one does not work.
Don't know about the other, but I think others have already posted about it in the existing threads on the topic (try searching).
I got an N8 before, and both cables doesn work, also the micro-USB to USB doesn't fit in.
I have an N8 but the S II hasnt reached yet. The HDMI wont work since it's not an MHL link. But the OTG should work but hyperX says it doesnt.
I got the OTG one. In theory it should work fine but unfortunately it's not micro USB :-(

yes the microusb on the nokia cable cannot fit into normal microusb slots.
however you can FILE the connector alittle and it will fit.
My wife has the N8 and it's microUSB to USB fits fine in my S2. I haven't tried the other cables.
There are two different MicroUSB types:-
SGS2 uses Micro USB B, and both cables are cheaply available on Ebay.
Paid abot £3 pound for mine which came from China.
I had previously bought one advertised for Nokia N8 and when it came it was Micro USB A - and DID NOT fit - so take care
I tried to upload an image but the forum spam filter would not let me due to new member / low posts - but try "upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/27/Micro-USB.jpg"

Does the SGN have any kind of HDMI out?

How can I put it on my TV =P
yes, it supports HDMI out via the Micro usb on the bottom of the device. You just need a micro usb to hdmi adapter.
where can I get one?
I think that there may be some on amazon. I am interested in this answer.

hdmi
I looked also, it needs an MHL adaptor. Found one on monoprice.com about $15.00 shipped.
Its a micro usb to hdmi, it also has a connector for charging while streaming all those flix to your big screen.
Yes there's an MHL adapter available online. If you want to wait as well, among the docks that are coming out for the GN there will be one that charges as well as supports a full 19 pin HDMI cable. But I imagine that won't be coming out til after Christmas.

Samsung Original HDMI Adapter not working on first try

Well, I bought this using the 50% discount code that was floating around for weeks on this forum:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETC-EIA2BEGSTA
I connected the HDMI cable to the TV and to the adapter, connected the OEM wall charger to the adapter and then the adapter to the Note 2. Nada. Nothing happened on my TV when I switched to the correct HDMI port (I have a Sony 3D TV so I thing it should support whatever that adapter requires).
I tried it without the 5 to 11 pin converter as I thought my phone uses an 5 pin USB (the tip looks like my charger).... Nothing. Then tried it with the adapter... Nothing...
On a previous tablet I had I had to enable "Display Out" in Settings. But I don't see any settings related to that under "Display" or "Accessories" on my phone.
Any ideers?
Ron
I suspect you have the wrong MHL adaptor.
The one you've linked to days it works with multiple smartphones, but as of the S3, Samsung changed the pin out of the MicroUSB port so existing MHL adaptors don't work with the S3 or the Note 2.
You need one that specifically says S3 or Note 2.

Dave

@foxmeister
in this kit there is 5 to 11 pin adapter that is required for s3 and note 2, so this adapter should work (with adapter and charger connected)
find a friend with S3 or another note2 to test it...

Cheap ebay MHL Mirco USB to HDMI adapters

Gang,
I bought a $6+ MHL Mirco USB to HDMI on ebay claiming to be for the S3. But when I received it it was a 5 pin that worked with a S2.
Anyone buy a cheap ebay MHL that works with the S3? I realize its a usb pin problem. We need 11 pin and the older ones are 5 pin.
If you purchased one that works please let me know.
This is what I bought, still listed as for the S3 but doesn't:
