Hi,
I've recently bought a non-geniune MHL/HDMI adapter and wanted to try out. The problem is that there is no signal / nothing on the tv at all...
What I have tried:
- At first with CM10 derivate roms and so on -> not working
- obviously only working with stock roms -> installed WanamLite ICS and still nothing at all, even with real stock rom 2.3. (but rooted)
- tried with a non-geniune charger, the original charger (5V Power) and with original-USB-cable Charging.
The special thing is that when I plug in the phone & the charger there is no charging of the phone. Should the phone be charged even when there's no HDMI cable connected? If so, I guess the adapater is broken.
(the TV is Full-HD, yet a no name one)
Thanks very much in advance for your help.

I'd say this is a good guess.
Hi,
Thanks for your answer. It was indeed a broken adapter. Got a new one which is working

it's possible know what kind o cable you have take? thank you
Sure.
It's a "Maxxtro MHL-HDMI Converter". If you mean the cable, i use a no-name HDMI cable and the original charging adapater from Samsung.

You have link store for the europe? I'm italian
Bought it from this retail company, but the swiss one. The shipping is a bit overpriced, but it's fast and there's good customer support.
Link: Distrelec.it - MHL/HDMI Maxxtro
I bought an official Samsung-made one for 15e in Serbia, so I presume you can buy one even cheaper in Italy

ok
but have you tested ?
Of course, I have not tested all of this cable, but I have bought one from Hong Kong, last month, I have received it 22 days after and it's working good
So all this one must work too.
Hi,
I've bought the newmp3 cable because it was a really quick need for me (GPS use).
I received it in few days and it's what I wanted !
Working in my car, my laptop and my business computer.
Maybe 20 cm more would be better but it's ok !

Here is a retractable one for $5 USD free shipping..
should be nifty for traveleing

I also bought a couple of these. Mainly because the cable was 1.5m.. so man of the cables are ~20"... That is too short for me.. The cable costs $3.51 with free shipping..

It sucks that the archos doesn't charge over USB.
At least with products like this I assume not.

I don't see the difference, as these cables charge it from a USB port they just don't pass data through. I presume you mean they don't charge with the normal sync cable.
It isn't a problem as most PC's have more than 1 USB port to have both the charging lead and sync cable plugged in.
But it's good that it will charge from a USB source as some of the cheap nasty Chinese tablets wont, they need a wall charger, which is difficult on a plane or in a car.

Thanks for the links. Indeed the cable is too expansive on newmp3technology -_-
Okay, so I've just tried an old PSP charger, and whilst the jack is a little tight, it works and is charging.
a few mths ago i purchased a samsung mhl adapter for my sensation. Last night i tried to use on my s3 and it didnt work. Do i need a setting/app installed? Or are the adapter not interchangable? It charges but doesnt display on my TV

You don't need a new cable. Just a 5pin to 11pin adapter. Cost like 99p

you could do that way too, itll probably end up saving you $10 in the looong run. Or you can just buy the right, one cable, and not have as much hardware to connect and hiding. Not sure if that even matters for you but the wire mess can get out of control quickly.
Hit up monoprice for the 11-to-5. Theirs work just fine for cheap.

I've got the official Samsung S3 MHL adapter and the video is laggy while watching it on tv. I've tried everything from freezing every single unneeded app + putting the device in airplane mode + overclocking + doing a dance with dead goats and virgins during a full moon (make sure your blinds are closed you don't want a neighbor freaking out like mine did) and nothing helps.
Any suggestions?

That's just the way it is. Makes it a bit useless for games. Sorry about your goats, cheers for the virgins.
Does anybody know of an MHL to HDMI adapter that works with the Galaxy Tab S? I have one for my wife's Galaxy SIII that outputs video but does not charge the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 that I have - it recognizes power but has the little no charging symbol over the battery. Just curious if anyone knows of an adapter that does both, displays video and charges the Tab S?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the "official" Samsung MHL to HDMI adapter that I bought for my Galaxy S3. This adapter works also with my Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Tab S.
IIRC, you have to plug things in that order for it to work :
- Power to the MHL adapter
- HDMI to the TV
- HDMI to the MHL adapter
- MHL to the Android device
At least, that's how I'm doing it and it works... HDMI is displayed AND the tab is charged. I tried with the charging adapter that came with the Tab S.
Hope this helps.
BTW, my adapter looks like this one :

I have a Fosmon adapter that does not work. Tried it your suggested way and nothing appears on the screen. You don't need to activate anything on the tab, do you?
I need this for next week. I wonder how fast amazon can get that one you use out to me.

You need to use one specific for Samsung. Their pinout is different and a normal MHL adapter will not work on Samsung hardware.

OK, I picked up a Futureshop one
http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=23867a5729eeb996a686a7ae91419bcben02
and on the packaging it states that it's for Samsung. I'll test it tonight and report back.

Looks like it will. I use the one below. The adaptors mean it will work with anything and I don't need a separate HDMI cord. It is also $10 cheaper.

No, it worked the first time I tried without having to change any setting or launch any app.
Well I guess I'll have to try the adapter that dcoulombe referenced on Amazon. The adapter I have is the Cirago version but I guess the adapter I have just doesn't pass along enough power to the tablet to actually charge it. It works fine otherwise, as in it outputs to the TV fine, just doesn't charge the tablet. I'm guessing the Samsung version must pass along more power through the adapter to the tablet.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Have you ever found fully working adapter/cable? I've tried these two:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LL1LD1C/
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESM3UVC/
and none of them works. First one does mirroring but only at 24Hz refresh rate but does not charge. 2nd one is not working at all, it does not charge Tab S (it does for S3) and no video output but maybe I got defective one.
if Sammy is changing the standard setup for a reason then i would like to know what that is. if its to sell their own stuff for profit then lets see the stuff???
since the Tab Pro release there has been NO updated adapters by Sammy and their website clearly does not show compatibility for most of this stuff past the S3
weird and i like most of you have bought many things to find half work as good enough for now at best

Sorry for digging up an old thread but im wondering if either of you 2 have had any luck? Did the futureshop one work? I got a MHL adapter on ebay recently that works fine but does not charge my tablet.
Yes it dis. As expected. I havnt had to use it in ages so I don't remember if it charged or not. Sorry I forgot to reply back!

No problem. Any chance you could test to see if it streams and charges simultaneously? That seems to be the problem with a lot of these MHL adapters they will play video no problem but often not charge at the same time which makes the battery drain insanely fast.

i am 99.99% sure that we are not going to see what we have all searched the ebay and internet world for unless Sammy makes it and since our device has aged now i doubt.
i spent over $100 extra trying items with no luck

Sorry do you mean no cheap ebay amazon etc adapter will output video and charge at the same time. Only the adapter made by samsung will do this? I seen you with the same problem I had in another thread and am curious to what you have figured out.

i dont think you will find something to fully charge and video out. you will find charge at 1amp but that will just prolong your use but eventually run the battery out and you need to find video out with 2amp charge combined with Tab ability to recognize it which i do not believe you will find.

So right now my adapter shows no sign of it actually doing any charging. Is it possible that it is charging at the 1amp but just not displaying it?
Is the samung adapter the only one that can accept the 1amp charge?
I'll have to search for it. Not sure where it is.

Hello to everyone...
I have a s3 with broken display so, i would like to use it as media center...
If i buy an adapter with HDMI and otg powered by a power supply
Can i connect HDMI , otg and at the same time charging the phone??
Or i need a dock??
I saw in a video of a guy with the dock the phone was charging...
It's possibile??
Thanks
You need a dock for this. As long as you run the stock rom with stock kernel there is mhl support and everything should work. But i'll get such an adapter today so i can tell you.
Merry christmas
EDIT: Yes it charges.

Not a bad idea for my current S3 once my M8 charging port comes in and I have time to replace it. could even make a little pocket for the S3 to sit in on the TV using some fiberglass or something.

okay so i literally looked everywhere for an Anker charger but couldn't find it anywhere,although they had a Samsung adaptive fast charger for 2900tk (around 35 dollars). well i'm not sure how good or bad it'll work with htc 10 since it uses Samsung's quick charge technology not Qualcomm. Should i get it? need your opinion guys.
