Yea i just saw that too.....oh well.
I assume that if charges so many devices, charge times would be slow.

AHH, you didn't read the documentation on the device then... if device can even be a good descriptor....
it is not a hub, and has no cables or charging of it's own. it is merely a thing you can run all your cables THROUGH.
it opens, you place the center of the cable in it, and then it holds the cable. it is not a charger, nor it is a hub of any sorts.

this shows what it truly is.
You can get them now. I ended up just buying one. They look pretty cool.

The question is simples, where can I buy the correct TV-OUT cable for SGS2?!
Thanks
What kind of a tv cable do you need hdmi?

Search on here for MHL cable
Still can't find it CHEAP anywhere! Found a 3£ version but had no sound... Only if the sound goes through the microusb too!
Also, does the SGS1 cable works on SGS2 ?
Cheers
This is the official MHL cable

Thanks. How about audio?
Audio does go through the cable. Was there a microUSB port in the adapter for charging as well? Because I read that unless it is put on charge, it doesnt work properly. The 2 adapters in the link have microUSB slots so yours might have been missing one or maybe just some other fault.
Once the adapter is connected, it works just like any other HDMI port.
you people need to do your research, there are plenty posts on here about this, plus there is a demo on youtube, read, watch and listen, the information is out there...!

Hey stoolzo,
- Where can i buy it cheaper than original\brand price
- How is the Audio transmitted
These are doubts that i couldn't find the answer too. Sorry for cutting trees and polluting Earth =P
Thanks all for the constructive answers. I'm buying my cable now
It's alright to ask questions I feel. Even if there's already another thread open for it. Its not like anything is getting wasted

Quite correct, however what you will find is that people will get more and more reluctant to cover the same issues over and over again until people simply wont bother to answer.
Always best to read before asking, there is no excuse not to do so, simply advising there is nothing wrong with asking questions doesn't really cut it. I know the search is pretty bad but I had some of the same questions myself but found all the answers I needed by reading and watching youtube.
One search for "MHL" revealed the following below, and these are not posts mind you, these are individual threads.

Yes in that case they might not get an answer and will have to searcha nd find out themselves. But what Ive found mostly is that some sites have very irritating search engines that hardly help you out. Not saying thats the case here.

I think you've got yourself a little confused there. If you search and cannot find something then you ask, the problem only arises when people cant be bother to search and questions get asked over and over again.

Sorry, my bad... had so many threads open I got confused - thought I was in the Galaxy Tab forum
I have been wanting to purchase spare batteries and a charger and was wondering if anyone had bought this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-x-1750m...890258?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item336fcabf12
Does anyone know if the batteries are official? I'd prefer them to be, but can live without if necessary.
The seller has positive ratings so even if they aren't official I am presuming they are good?
Thanks in advance.
Have this on order, will get back to you when they arrive!
Read the Samsung on the battery the a is clearly a v def not oem, not worth the risk

You have this product(s)? How are they?
Could I get this adapter and us it with the custom JellyBean ROMs? (specifically Viscious Liquid 4.1.1-V1).
http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-HDMI-MHL-Adapter/dp/B005NG71K8
It looks like that one goes to a regular HDMI (instead of micro HDMI) which is nice, and also has the USB port extended for charging as well.
Thanks!
I can't say if it's the exact same or not, but mine looks identical to that one, right down to the writing on it. I got it from monoprice (actually cablesonsale.ca, which sells monoprice stuff in Canada). It works great.
The micro USB port isn't just for charging though... you have to plug it in for the adapter to work. At least with mine, anyway.

You can make one yourself with a simple usb micro b cable and a resistor, I forget what strength it needs to be, but it's really dead simple to make one of these. And you can basically do the same thing already by holding down Vol+ and - with power during boot up.

For those not technically inclined though this might be a good way to force your SII into ODIN flash mode if you can't get to it other ways. Beware this likely won't work with most cases for the SII.
For the technically inclined (familiar with soldering, wire stripping, etc etc), just make your own.
If I remember correctly, mostly cause I bricked my wife's vibrant is the resistance that is needed is 301k and I didn't have a high jigg though I almost made one

That's the same as the new green version qi receiver that starts popping up on Ebay recently , bought it for $20 few days ago.
Do you need to mod tmo gn2 for thid or can you just stick it on?

I'm 99% sure you will need to do the mod in my sig in order to get this to work. Instead of using the palm coil use the Qi pad.

I'm on tapa talk so I can't see your sig, but I'm assuming that it says that you need to do a hardware hack.
People unless you see tmobile or t889 it's not going to work. The tmobile version of the note 2 is missing a little chip that allows wireless for some reason. Unless there is a software workaround that hasn't been pushed wireless is a no go.
So if I do the mod, I can just buy one of those $15 coil pads and it'll work for palm pre and Qi chargers or no?

Don't think so. From what I gather, T-Mobile version of note has contacts, but they don't do anything. Wonder if there's a way to go around that. Like solder a wire or something. but I doubt it.

Thanks, just noticed. Seems to be a simple 1 wire job. Problem is, my soldering skills leave a lot to be desired. Guess it's time to practice. Or ask someone who knows what they are doing.

You'll be fine, last time I hold a soldering iron is like 20 years ago, my hand a bit shaky now, and I did it just fine. Just be careful when prying the phone open, there are 2 clips behind the battery spot top and bottom.
hmm
I was tempted to do this. Worried about messing up tho.
I actually just bought an at&t gn2 specifically because of the wireless charging issues on the t889. I'll have to hack it a little, but my understanding is all frewquinciesnshould work just as well as on the T-Mobile gn2.
