I want to use my Note 2 for presentations, but not all projectors have HDMI input yet. Is there a way to chain a HDMI to VGA adapter to the MHL to HDMI adapter? Or exists a working MHL to VGA adapter for the Note 2?
(I saw in another thread that not all MHL to HDMI adapters are compatible with the Note 2 - how can I tell?)
Thanks in advance,
yatohese
VGA is analog, HDMI is digital, it will not work without some sort of big external converter that would require a power supply and what not...

I think this is not entirely correct, since there exist DVI(digital) to VGA(analog) adaptors:

Actually, kosanrio is right, you would need one of those powered converters. As for your dvi adapter idea, you need to remember that dvi is made in a digital and am analog format, and is only interchangeable if the equipment supports both formats. In this case, that would mean your mhl adapter needs to support analog output. I can assure you that no mhl to HDMI adapter will support that.
Just Google for mhl VGA adapter. They exist, they are relatively inexpensive, and you should look for reviews stating it works with your phone model.

mhl adaptors need to be "11 pin" MHL adapters.
they are usually easy to recognise because they always have something like "made for galaxy s3" or "compatible with galaxy s3" written on the packaging or product page.
as for your presentation problem: wouldn't it be an idea to invest in a Pico projector?
it costs some money, but then you'd have an HDMI compatible projector no bigger than your phone, which you could just slip in your pocket or bag.
it wouldn't be much more to carry than an MHL/HDMI to VGA converter.

I know it's not HD just standard composite vid and stereo but does anyone have a lead to give it a whirl. I remember it worked on the Original Galaxy i9000..
no .

No, that is very dated nowadays for phones made this year. Most have mini-HDMI or MHL adapters that use the micro USB slot to output video. The Galaxy Note needs MHL adapter to have HDMI out.
Composite connection is available on practically any TV especially when we travel, however HDMI is obviously available only on the HDTVs which might not be accessible while travelling to remote places, so its a good thing to have a regular composite output in your pocket. I know unfortunately nothing could be done in this regards other than to look for an HDMI to composite/component converters.

More expansive electronic on the device, more the device will cost:
If you travel, you can buy this converter:

Is this an mental idea. I have a TV out lead from a previous HTC Touch Pro. Mini USB connector. Could I just use a mini, to micro USB adapter and get the GNote to broadcast out that way, or wouldn't it do anything?
I've even seen a 3.5m out lead '3.5mm to RCA TV out cable, composite' Works on the Galaxy S.
Or can't you get anything to any kind of TV at all and the only option is an MHI to HDMI lead to a TV that can take HDMI (Samsung make one, it's about 20 Euro).
Other option is, I have no idea what I'm talking about, at all....
Hello all,
Today I was excited to find a cable that I'd ordered last week from Hong Kong on ebay had arrived.
Micro USB MHL to HDMI Cable Adapter HDTV For Samsung Galaxy S2
Well if it works on the S2 then it probably works on the Note. Well I plugged an HDMI cable into my Dell 1920 x 1200 monitor, that cable into the adapter and then a micro USB power cable into the micro USB power socket of the device.
Doesn't work
Hmm. Its a pretty simple device. Well I tried swapping micro USB cables in case it works differently with MHL or non MHL cables. Still does nothing. Damn.
Maybe it requires particular software to drive the video. Well no joy yet. If anyone has some suggestions then I'm happy to hear them. It was pretty cheap. But I wish it worked...
In case you were thinking of getting one of these. Here is the one that I bought.

Are you aware that it needs power? In your case, your device needs to be connected to computer usb (as it said in item description)

Cable can't too long.
Sent from Taiwan.
I have a similar one to that from China or somewhere and works great, do need to plug in your mains charger for it to work though. Only issue I had was you I needed to screen fit on my telly because it wasn't fitting properly but after I ran that it fit to te screenproperly.
Good news that MHL is working on the note, especially after the news of the Pioneer AppRadio 2.

I wasn't clear enough in what I wrote. I plugged in the micro USB power cable into the devices micro USB power socket just like in that picture, so yes I gave that a go but still didn't work
I bought a Menotek brand adapter off Amazon, and it works great for me. My TV luckily had a USB port (for firmware updates), and it powered the device just fine.
i bought one off ebay and according to the seller it is the original one
it works great
but you need to turn off the data (3g) because it causes disconnects on the lcd
I bought an mhl adapter but can't seem to find the right cable can you guys help figure this one out?

Ok looks like it's micro usb wtf is the point of that? That's like adding an extra item that isn't needed
Ok looked a little harder and it seems this adapter is more for those who have the old 5 pin mhl adapter. If this is the case what a waste of money :thumbdown:
Guess I'll be ordering a proper adapter. Ps will the new 11 pin work with the old 5 pin phones? Otherwise it might be better to get the old mhl adapter since I already have the damn adapter lol. Is this all correct?

I don't think the 11 pin to 5 pin will work, but I haven't tried this so I could be wrong. I found this thread that could interest you however...

Already read it. As far as I can tell the adapter I bought is to be able to use the normal mhl adapter. Which is why it has a micro usb port as a an output. So you can connect it. The Samsung s3 mhl adapter is an 11 pin from the s3 output already. Furthermore, Samsung arguably released the latter adapter to appease the masses since they gave the consortium and people a big F U.
just saw this news from gsmarena
and the happiest is below word
so it’s backwards compatible with MHL 1.0 devices like the Galaxy Note II and Samsung Galaxy S III.

have you had any experiences with the other adaptor? if so, how was it?
You can see the port to put your charger into on the picture. Its on the main MHL part parallel to the part that plugs into the phone.

MsElise,
1. The Micro USB "PLUG" to plug into your Galaxy S3/S4/Note2.
2. MHL 2.0 enabled 5V 0.9A current so it does require additional charger to plug in.
3. The other Micro USB "PORT" can use for charging your galaxy devices.

,, it's posible to use usb port as , usb mass storage? ? ??
I purchased the iBolt XProDock for my Galaxy S4 and it works fantastically. I just got off of the phone with Verizon and they are swapping out my S4 to a HTC One due to on going issues I've been having. I have been looking at cases and what not for the phone and realized that I have the car dock that I use regularly since I travel quite often for work. I know the phone will physically work with the dock as far as fitting, but I am curious if the cabling will work. It is the same micro usb connection so I know it will fit, but I am wondering if it will put the phone in "dock" mode like it did on the Samsung? The cable I got also has the headphone jack on the other end for connection to the aux port in the car. Does the HTC One support audio out through the USB port like the S4?
It supports audio through the usb but you need an otg or whatever it's called cable.

I have basically that cable (I think) that is a part of the iBolt dock. It takes it from micro-usb male to mini-usb female. Basically the same cable the iBolt dock uses. Only different is it has clip points to connect it to the back of the dock and it is rigid so it can be shaped and held in proper place for connection to the phone.

Then that cable connects to a male mini-usb that has a male usb and male mini-plug (head phone jack).
I'm assuming this will work once I get the correct cable (first image) that will put the phone in dock mode. The current cable is for my old S4 and it put the phone in dock mode and supported audio thorugh USB output.
Just as a side note, can you show a picture of the cable your taking about?
Why not just search USB OTG cable?
