tada!
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-mhl-adaptor
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
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320679284523
Hope so as i orderd one a few hours ago.

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.
Some info here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtwTcnR0hqA
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

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 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.

I have a MHL adapter with the older pin for the GS2. I wanted to buy one for my new GNII. I know I need the one with the new pin setup and I'm trying to be cheap by not ordering from Samsung. My problem is they are both called MHL despite the fact that the pins are different. How can I tell the two apart so I can make sure that my third party one will work?
You need to get one with 11 pins that is the key. That being said I still haven't seen a third party that works without occasional snow on the tv and I use mhl every day. I ended up having to use the official Samsung adapter
Anything that works with the GS3 will work with the Note II.
If you already have the old MHL adapter, check this out: http://www.amazon.com/Original-Sams...10BEBSTD/dp/B0083FYL0O/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_text_y
after searching a little bit about 11 pin port in galaxy s3 and take apart an 11pin to 5 pin adapter i am thinking about make DIY smart dock for galaxy s3
i ordered mhl adapter and waiting for it mean while i tried to connect usb otg and extra micro usb connector together so i can use otg and charge the phone at the same time. but the problem is when i short ground and seance pin for otg ; charging doesn't work.
so any suggestion about the project?
i attached a plan of my project here
edited:after failing my 1st attempt i succeeded to make it work on my 2nd try!
this time i opened a 11 pin to 5 pin adapter. it has a small resistor which is connected ground to sense pin for hdmi out put. i removed that resistor and i connected 5 extra wire in the adapter 1. vcc 2. data+ 3. data - 4. sense 5. ground ( i showed in picture) . then i connected sense and ground with a 40.2k resistor.
then the 4 wire, which i i connected in 11 to 5 pin adapter (vcc, data+,data-, and ground) , goes to a femele usb where you will connect usb devices or usb hub.
and thats it!! hope you can try it too. if if have any other question just ask me

AW: diy smardock for galaxy s3
You forgot the vcc at the otg side, but anyway it can't work.
While charging you send 5v through the micro usb to the phone.
But in otg mode the phone will send 5v to the usb connector to supply power for the connected device.
I think your only chance is to use the inductive connectors to charge your phone while in otg mode.

I have a suspicion that the IC to the left of the Realtek one is the brains of the board. The RT chip does the hdmi out conversion and the other two longer IC's are usb host and usb audio. Can't make out the printed data on the unknown chip, but my best bet is if we can get a dump of whats on there then we might have a good chance of DIY hdmi/otg capabilities. i'm no expert by far, but just throwing ideas out there.

Great work, necomer. I've also been trying that for two months now, but haven't been able to make it work. I have the 40,2 KOhm resistor between sense and GND, and am able to launch smart dock mode on some ROMs I have tried. So, which ROM are you running? My only idea here is that maybe you having a US S3 is what does the difference (well, I'm assuming that, maybe you have an international one).
Thanks in advance, and once again, great work :good:

I'm pretty sure your buying the wrong MHL adapter. The Note II and the s3 have a different micro usb than any other phone and require the samsung
MHL adapter.
Not sure what you are trying to do?
Amazon sells a combo cable so you can use OTG and charge the device at the same time. I use it to connect a 1TB portable drive to my S3 and Tab 2 10.1.
I bought the official Samsung HDMI adapters for both devices. They are powered and stream over HDMI to my TV just fine. Works with just about everything I've tried although some services require some workarounds. Copy protection crap.
What you are trying to do sounds risky. You might fry the phone.
I apologize if I haven't grasped your intentions but I'm kind of slow.
Edit: I think I may get it now. Are you trying to power, feed external data through OTG and then stream out to an HDMI display?
Dumb question as I said I'm slow but, how about the official Samsung HDMI adapter and use the power in port with a powered OTG combo cable?

what i am trying to do is, use otg , charge the phone and use hdmi at the same time. i thought it would be easy bcz samsung made new 11 pin connector in Galaxy s3 . so apparently its supposed to work ,as they are not using same pin for transferring data. But i dont have any idea about internal proses. while charging and otg at the same time is possible, dont you think we can connect hdmi with it in any way?
well all this is just guessing from my little knowledge. i want some suggestion from those who worked on this and correct my mistakes

Maybe... it's a HDCP problem...
If your TV don't support HDCP function(or authentication failed), then MHL chipset will show a black screen
(HDCP : High-definition Digital Content Protection)
I was going to this topic, being all hopeful that I finally might get my S3 in OTG+Charge mode. And then it turned out it only worked on a phone still running 4.1.1. I have 4.1.2, and OTG+charge did work for me before, but it seems Samsung broke it in 4.1.2. It is probably the fault of the kernel that came with the XXELLC (a stock 4.1.2 ROM) update, but how to fix it is beyond me.
Are you serious! I won't update mine then. I need to use that together! !!

I've had good success with Monoprice's MHL adapter and it's just $10, as opposed to the $40 Samsung wants. You do need the 11-to-5 adapter for it though.
One thing to note : If your HDTV doesn't have MHL support, you need to attach a charger to the MHL adapter to power it (that's what the female micro usb port on it is for). Took me an hour to figure that out when I first bought it.
Ordered the adapter
