I know you can buy the mhl adaptor but i recently purchased a generic adaptor and it has been losing signal several times, i heard it's a common issue for generics. So i want to see if a micro hdmi cable will work, and if doesnt work, can anyone recommend me some good mhl adaptor that's pretty cheap

There's different ports of micro hdmi?

Micro HDMI is just a tiny HDMI snapped the same pretty much needs an actual port. Mhl is the only way it works for yhe sgs2

I know there's two hdmi cables for phones, there's a micro hdmi and a mini hdmi but since the s2 uses a micro usb port, then the micro hdmi should work right?
Well, I just received my micro hdmi for my SGSII and it is not working. I connected it to my TV and laptop and it is a fail. Tried to go the cheaper route but am gonna end up spending more in the long run because now I have a micro hdmi that is useless to me
Thats the one I was thinking of the mini I have one and it doesn't fit haha it Wade for my g2x

i purchased (at least it seems to be) a legit samsung branded mhl adapter on ebay for about $11 and it has been working perfectly well for more than a few months now.. it looks like this:

You can only use the MHL adapter for HDMI output, Micro HDMI is a totally different port and everything.
completely unrelated but i was wondering why when using MHL on our phones, surround sound does not work. im guessing its hdmi 1 format?
I read a few comments regarding some mhl adaptors. Some say plug the power source first then the tv then the phone. And others say you may need to change the HDMI cable. Just try different combinations and try a different tv.

thanks i will try that. it cant be the hdmi cable, because its the same one i use for xbox and i get surround sound from there.

If that auction expires you can also get the cable at monoprice.com. They have then cheap there too.
Has anyone yet found a cheap MHL to HDMI adapter that's confirmed to work with the Galaxy S3?
The official Samsung adapter is still $40(!) and who knows if THAT will be pin incompatible in the future too (MHL is supposed to be standard).
How about the $13-14 ones from Amazon that is supposedly Samsung branded? I have the one that came with the Infuse but I haven't tested it out yet.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MHL-H...F8&qid=1340683252&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+mhl
That will not work, S III requires a 'special' adapter, the older ones, such as for the S II, will not work.
Yea i bought the cheap Menotek mhl adapter ($13 shipped) from Amazon about a week or so before i got the s3....
I found out later that the s3 has a different pin out so yea, no dice on the Menotek. :thumbdown:

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be cheaper to buy the old 5pin mhl adapter and get the new adapter to make it work. I know it sounds funny to get an adapter for your adapter but I have seen the old mhl for as low as $10 (generic) and the new connector for not much more than that. Were as the new Samsung cord cost $40. I haven't seen any (generic) ones yet.
With this being said I wonder if there would be any limitations to doing this. Can anyone confirm?
I also looked at the links (Tokcin) and I think those are for older 5pin phones. In fact one of the reviews said it didn't work for the s3 not to buy it.

I just ordered one from monoprice and will get the 5 to 11 pin adapter when available.
I read recently that the 11 pin interface allows for MHL and USB Host at the same time, which I don't care about, so see no need for the $40 11 pin MHL adapter. Still not sure how that is even supposed to work without another adapter anyway to split the MHL and USB Host functionality.

It will not work as is. You either need to buy the adapter to make it work(costs $10) or buy the new cord for the s3($40). The only down fall to buying the adapter instead of the new cord is no one knows if there is going to be a limitation to it. The new cord uses the 7 pin layout instead of the 5 pin layout. The new 7 pin layout is said to be able to do simultaneous mhl and otg. I am not sure if the adapter will let you do that. As far as I know there are no cords out to allow the simultaneous mhl and otg right now any way. I would just buy the adapter.

I'm really hoping someone comes out with an MHL+OTG cable, would make things very fun and exciting. I may have to pull the trigger as it is on the new MHL cable just to play with in the meantime, wish it wasn't so expensive.

I tried two different generic ones I had, and neither worked. Expansys has them for $30 free shipping on their site though. I also posted a thread letting ppl know I did get it working on a 720p display I used it on, with no problems. Im actually glad I spent the money, because its a much more secure fit then the generic ones vIve always used, it locks in place kind of. I just hope Samsung uses the same one for their new devices from here out!

Can you give us a link to the one you got and knows working? My 1080p tv just crapped out and I have to use my 720p/1080I tv now. I have been waiting on a cheaper solution to Samsung's $40 cable because I plan on buying the WiFi dongle went it comes out. By the way from what I understand Samsung's cable won't work with anything other than 1080p. So if your tv doesn't support 1080p it won't work. Thanks in advance.

External hard drive with movies mounted over OTG while outputting it to a large HDTV @ 1080p gloriousness would be a start. with a cable like that you basically have a docking station in a cable, very interesting stuff.

Sorry if this was already posted but I just got the Samsung EPL-FU10BEBSTD (whoever comes up with these names should be shot) MHL 5 to 11 pin adapter.
I tested it on three different generic MHL adapters and it works perfectly. In other words, if you have an existing adapter and don't need USB OTG along with it, save your money and get this thing instead. I bought mine from CCM accessories on Amazon and received it in 2 days for $9.99.

Does everything you'd expect from an MHL adapter, mirror display, Netflix etc...
I'm assuming this is the same thing despite the model number difference?

Got a question, does this adapter has a hook up for charging cable? If yes does it work with the charger plugged either into this or the genetic mhl cable that you hook to the adapter?

No it is just MicroUSB in and MicroUSB out - the power will come from your MHL adapter.

Wow never heard of a wireless one before. I think that is a little over kill for me. I will stick to the wire one for now if anything. Thanks though.

I seriously doubt it will work, the connector is different for S2 (5 pins) and S3 (11 pins), so if it says it works for both...
Maybe the 11 pins also work for 5 pins, but not vice versa

Yes, there is an adapter that will go from the 11 pin micro-USB on the SGS3, to 5 pin micro-USB, so you can plug in the micro-USB from an "old" MHL adapter.

I got the adapter for $10 with free shipping:

It lets you connect your old MHL cable (or a $5 one from ebay) to a galaxy s3 and still work. I'm using it and it works perfect.
Even if you don't have an old cable, this is still the best deal since it's $5 for a 5-pin cable and $10 for the adapter.

This is damn smart. I might go this route. Functional and it save a couple bucks. Thanks
Sorry guys, new to this stuff. So let me see if I go this right. Does it go:
SGS3 >> MicroUSB-HDMI Cable >> HDTV Adapter Tip (http://www.amazon.com/Original-Samsung-Adapter-Converter-EPL-FU10BEBSTD/dp/B0083FYL0O/) >> TV?
found a S3 ONLY MHL cable.
So this likely means that's designed with the correct pins and it'll work

anyone wanna buy?
I have been trying to set it up with first a generic 11 pin adapter and then the Samsung 11 to 5 pin adapter with an earlier HML adapter that worked with my HTC Amaze.
The generic one worked OK initially, and then started either not connecting or doing so without audio. Tried the Samsung plug adapter with old the HML, but no response at all. Am on [Mixed Base v29] XquiziT xD. The earlier brief success was with an earlier version of that ROM.
I am reluctant to order the Samsung OEM 11 pin, but am also worried the initial 11 pin may have zonked the connection - but don't know if that is at all likely. Am looking for others experiences with these adapters and any suggestions on a route to take at this point.
I think I remember seeing something about previous versions of the cable not working with the S3. Something about some pins being switched. So I think you have to get specifically an S3 cable.
+1 What M4R10 said.
If you have an older GS2 MHL adapter it was a 5- PIN adapter not the GS3 11-PIN adapter.
You will need this converter tool in order for older MHL adapters to work on your GS3.

No, you were absolutely clear. People just don't read before they respond.. (silly)
I have the same set up as you. I have the adapter and I too experience issues. At first it works just fine, then it freezes after a few minutes. I only tried it twice on the day I got the 11 pin adapter, so who knows maybe it will work fine.
Will try again tonight and post back. I'm on CM10 now so we'll see if that makes a difference (don't see why it should, but you never know.. TW can be so glitchy sometimes)

I did, just figured it was a typo. Since I have the same adapter I knew what he meant
I am going to see if it (the 5-11 pin connector) works on stock LJ4 leak. I still wish I could be sure if I have a hardware or software issue.
Update It did not work, so I tried a Samsung 11 PIN adapter. Still no luck until i read their instruction to use the Samsung charging adapter and cable to power it 0 THEN IT WORKED !!!!
I am going to try again with the HML 5 pin HM and 11 pin adapter with the Samsung charger and see if it also works. Will also post results - it is a cheaper fix if it does.
Per previous post, I tried the Samsung 5 PIN to 11 PIN adapter in conjunction with a generic (Amazon) MHL adapter.
This had not worked previously. But after finding it needed to use the OEM Samsung USB cable to power an 11 PIN MHL Samsung adapter, I tried the power cord with the above and now it also works. Therefore, I can return the more expensive Samsung 11 PIN MHL (was $35 from Amazon but can be had directly from Samsung for $20 with a promo code) - lol.
I wish I could change the thread title to say HDMI now works.
