Can anyone help me find a decent working 5 pin mhl adapter so I can use it for my older devices gs2 ect. and I also would need a decent working 5 to 11 pin adapter to use it for my note 2.
hello, you can find on ebay cheap adapters (about 5$). For 10-12$ you get a mhl cable (with international free shipping). I orderd one, I'll get back with more info after it arrives

Is it possible to connect the S3 to a USB hub via a micro usb to female usb port.
Then connect a usb power supply to Port 1 and on Port 2 connect it to a HDTV.
Will this work properly?
Edit:
Nvm, just did some more reading and found out that the MHL adapter has a micro usb port for charging the device at the same time.

Was planning on using this

but as I might use it for a film or something longer than 10minutes I would like to keep it charging at the same time.
Monoprice has the micro usb to hdmi for $11. I buy a ton of stuff from them and have never had any problems with any of their products.
FYI. The only MHL adapter that works with the Galaxy S III right now is the one from Samsung. Model EPL-3FHUBEGSTA ($40). It has a 11 pin micro USB connector compared to the 5 pins on all other MHL Adapters. There is also a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter ($10) that will make the older MHL adapters work with the SGS III. Model EPL-FU10BEGSTA.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I did not know and I almost ordered that from Monoprice. I guess I will have to wait because I and not paying $40 for that adapter.

Buy the old adapter for 11 and the new adapter for the adapter for 10. It works now for only 21 dollars instead of 40. :good:

I don't have an old adaptor, so instead of getting an adapter for an adapter (whoaaaa) I'll just wait for the chinese ebay knockoff that works.
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.

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.

If I did not make it clear - that is what I have that did not work either = as well as a generic 11 pin adapter. I am wondering is the tool ONLY works with Samsung's OEM original 5 pin adapter (although that should not be the case).

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)
Mine works fine I have a generic hml to hdmi cable that I got at a t mobile store and I bought a Samsung 11 pin converter my rom is cyanogenmod 10 nighty

You didnt make it clear.
Re read what you typed.
Samsung 11 to 4 pin adapter
I said 5 pin I thought you used some aftermarket adapter that was missing a pin.
Might want to edit your main post.
Im guessing ingenious247 didnt catch that either.

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.
Gang,
I bought a $6+ MHL Mirco USB to HDMI on ebay claiming to be for the S3. But when I received it it was a 5 pin that worked with a S2.
Anyone buy a cheap ebay MHL that works with the S3? I realize its a usb pin problem. We need 11 pin and the older ones are 5 pin.
If you purchased one that works please let me know.
This is what I bought, still listed as for the S3 but doesn't:

or you could get an adaptor

So I have read over multiple threads but I couldn't find a clear answer.
I want to buy an MHL adapter so I can connect my phone to my TV via a HDMI, which adapter is recommended? Which one actually works?
Which pin adapter is best? a 5 pin adapter or 11 pin adapter?

I'm using the same 10 dollar MHL adapter that I bought for my Epic 4G Touch. It works but for some reason some TV's have a slow jerky output from the LG but not the E4GT. I don't use it to often though so no biggie since smart share works great with my iMito MX1.
An 11 pin adapter is only needed if you're plugging up a Galaxy S3 or Note 2 to your TV. Samsung's charging ports on its newer devices are 11 pin and won't work with 5 pin MHL cables. Our LGOG will work fine with a 5 pin cable.

The adapter I purchased, works great, and has addition cable length to be able to sit on the couch away from your TV. Just search in ebay, "4M MHL Micro USB" there are a bunch for cheap, just make sure you find a US seller or else you wont get your cable till sometime in June hah
Hi everyone, just wondering if anybody has found a usb to hdmi cable/adapter that works with the note 8. I want to be able to connect it to my tv to watch movies. I tried connecting my Samsung phone usb to my note and it isn't a good fit. Is the micro port on the note 8 different than a standard micro usb? Thanks for your help. Not sure if it matters, but I am in Canada.
I have tried 5 pin and it does not work so I think 11 pin (the one that work with note 2 / s3) will probably work.
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=290879355462&index=1&nav=SEARCH&nid=79000938791
The 11 pin version works. I own one.(the one for the galaxy s3)
A normal 5 pins otg cable also works. In case you wanted to buy that one also.
Best regards,
Niels

The Note 2 Galaxy S3 and after use a 11 pin adaptor. Those work with the Note 8 ( I have one). You can buy a 5 to 11 pin Micro usb adaptor on Amazon.
Today I found a new type adapter by Samsung in a store: White, rated 1080p 60 fps. It has the longer, 11 pins connector. I think it is a proprietary one, based on micro USB. The black HDTV adapter for the SIII uses the same connector. That one has no rating on the box, so I guess that one is only 720p. Both are recognised by my Note 8.0 (it beeps). But I haven't had the chance yet to test them on an actual TV set.
