[Q] Note II MHL > HDMI issues

Hi all.
I've searched for similar questions and can't find anything that gives me an answer... so here goes.
Model number: GT-N7100 (Samsung Galaxy Note 2)
Android version: 4.1.1
Modifications: None.
Problem:
- Connect MHL cable to phone.
- Connect power
- Connect HDMI to tv & MHL
- Phone pops up a message on screen advising that HDMI connection has been made.
- No output from phone to tv.
I tried originally with the wrong MHL cable designed for a Galaxy S2 (established this thanks to a post I found on here, thanks). Then replaced with one designed for the S3 which should (according to what i read) also work with the Note2.
Am I missing something here?
The cable used was from Amazon and is not a samsung original part. But before spending more money to get the samsung part i want to be sure i exhausted all options with the cheaper alternative.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

my theory is it has something to do with all share cast

I bought a 'generic' adapter at first, did not work. Ended up going with the Samsung adapter...worked fine...

make sure yr MHL cable/adaptor is compatible for note2/s3, they use different pins with older model

Hi all.
Thanks for the replies. [will do the whole thanks button thing in a minute].
I threw the adapter in a drawer for the weekend and pulled it back out this morning to have another crack at it.
Its the cheap n nasty adapter that is at fault. I shoved the connector into the bottom of the phone really hard this time, and instead of black, the tv screen went green. All green. A bit of jiggling later and i had phone output on the tv, but its a very sketchy connection and a slight knock loses the connection, even though the phone still thinks the cable is connected still.
Only problem then is that there is no audio coming through the tv. All phone settings suggest there should be.
So i went upstairs to try on another tv, and it works perfectly with video and audio (once the cable is rammed home good and hard).
Problem solved. For now, it will do. But I will at some point be investing in the genuine samsung part that should do the job properly. And a new TV for the living room ~ current one is old and was a budget model at the time, so you can imagine how bad it is by todays standards.

Hi, can you help to check if the camera apps work when you use mhl ?

Im using the sprint gn2 do I go with the same step when connecting mhl adapter? Before you connect to television is the phone suppose to be charging? I think I have to buy the right one .I bought mine amazon from china and still have not hooked it up to my tv yet. Can there be a problem with phone? Its new never dropped

i just got my samsung MHL adapter which is for the S3 but supposedly should work with note 2 also.
when i connect the hdmi cable and the power cable and then connect it to my phone i see a popup "hdmi cable cvonnected"
however,
my monitor (Dell 2408WFP) just goes into sleep mode.
i also tried another monitor.. same thing.
i'm on android revolution with perseus kernel... which is just a modded stockrom.
i have not made a samsung account so i don't have any of the samung specific apps activated... could this be the problem?
do you need to have that sharecast or whatever to be activated first in order to get the TV out functionality?

I bought Samsung MHL adapter last month for HTC One X and it works fine even without connect the phone to charging.
I just tried that to my new Note 2 and it doesn't work at all.. already try to charge the phone still not showing anything not even a notification saying my note2 connected to the hdmi...

Having the exact same issje with the original s3 adapter. It worked fine 2 days ago and then one day from another it magically stopped working on my note 2. Still works with other devices..

ok.. i decided to actually create a samsung account and installing the all-share cast app hoping this would finally make the mhl work..
but alas..
same thing..
i connect power, mhl en and hdmi cable.... set monitor to look for hdmi signal...
phone then gives me the 'hdmi adapter connected' message and then the monitor goes into energy saving mode...
i guess my adapter is faulty.... it is supposedly a genuine brand new samsung adapter but i got it from ebay hongkong or china or whatever... so... well... you know..
i think i will order the wireless all-share hub in stead...

Are you rooted? I've read that hml doesn't work if you are.
Edit: I should have read the rest of the thread. Looks like you solved the problem.

well yeah... if getting a wireless allshare cast hub instead for 80 bucks is a solution.. then yes.. i guess it's solved..
by the way,
yes.. i have root.. where did you read that a rooted phone prevents the MHL adapter from properly working?
do you have a link or something?
in that case i could still try to persuade the Android Revolution HD Rom developer to look into the issue...

Try it using the 5V - 2A charger, i have read, somewhere i forgot, that 2A is a must for being able to use MHL.
I can't say if it is true or not, i'm atill waiting all stuff be delivered (All-share cast hub, MHL adapter, Smart Dock, etc).
Good luck

It seems like the china products r all faulty

For me the MHL cable worked well with easy disconnections (any minimal movement). But I used it with the bloutooh mouse and so I didn't feel so much the issue.
Now the note 2 doesn't reveal the cable. I plug it in and nothing happens.
I don't remember if I changed ROM before the issue but it's sure I always had a custom ROM.
Can be a ROM problem?
I will try the MHL cable with my father's s3 and let you know if is a cable issue.
EDIT:
SORRY GUYS, IS A CAVE PROBLEM. ITS DEAD

I have rooted my device also. Come to think of it, this might just be the issue. Rooted with exynosabuse gonna try to unroot and see if it works. Still want it to work with root though because i use the sixaxis to play games..

Once u unrrot your note 2 did it work with the mhl cable

[Q] Note 1 OTG cable work on Note 2?

Just recently bought a Note 2 (GT-N7100 international version), and it's marvelous.
I just spent an hour searching this forum and can't find anything that addresses my question. It may be buried in here but never came up in my searches.
I have a bunch of OTG cables that I used with my Note 1 to read flash drives. When I plug in one of those OTG cables to my Note 2, it shows the cable being connected, but when I plug in a flash drive it doesn't show up anywhere. I tried many different flash drives with various amounts of data on them, but no joy.
I'm presuming that the Note 1 OTG cables won't work on the Note 2, but would like one of the wizards to confirm this before I include the cables in the Note 1 package that I'm getting ready to put on eBay.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

hey buddy it works, first time when you connect the cable and pen drive wait a minute and then restart your galaxy note 2 and then again connect the cable along with the same pen drive...

Genius! Worked like a champ. I never thought of that, and the Note 2 manual says nothing about that.
Thanks.

There is only one samsung otg cable which works with s2, note, s3, note 2. There are hdmi adapter different for s2, note and for s3 and note2

I've never needed the HDMI adapter, but that's good to know.
Thanks.

you can use an old mhl/hdmi with a note2, just buy a 11pin to 5 pin adapter off ebay for $3
if you get the metal adapter you can open it and use it to get access to the other pins too for modding..

Wow, that's weird, I never had to do that. Just plugged and played first time like it always did on my S2/Note1/S3.

Did you follow the instructions given above by gouthama? Worked for me.

Well, the obvious answer is that the cable is not the correct one. Was it in OEM Samsung packaging? Or did the seller claim that it works on SIII/Note 2? Lots of cables fit and will charge, but don't work for OTG because of the pin structure on the cable.

Have you try to check if the Power Saving Mode is enable? Try to disable it because the flash drive needs power to work. This is based on my experienced with my Note 2. I cannot get it to work at first and I found the culprit is the Power Saving Mode. So when I tried to disable it, then it reads my flash drive. Hope it helps..

Pen drive filesystem
What about the disk format? I have heard that only FAT and FAT32 partition are readable from OTG and not NTFS. Is it true?

I'm not sure whether that's right or not, but every file system should work with this app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter

Samsung mini usb to HDMI adaptor requiring power source

I recently bought a mini usb to HDMI adaptor (model number ET-H10FAU) from eBay and it seems to only work on my note 10.1 2014 edition when I'm using a power source (A mini usb cable to a plugged in ac adaptor.) Is this normal or is there something wrong with the adaptor? I was hoping that I could use the adaptor without such a power source.

I have ordered a 5 pin to 11 pin converter so i can use the MHL adpter I have with the new Note 10.1. I have used this MHL adapter with several phones and all required the power to be plugged it for it to work. The best way around this is with a Miracast receiver to mirror the device wirelessly. I bought the Rocketfish one from Best Buy a couple of months ago when it was on sale for $29.99.

I believe the official Samsung mhl adaptor 2.0 is the only one that can do it without a power source but using hdmi output drains battery so much that it's still better to plug it in

Thanks for the info. So far it's not a deal breaker that I have to use a power source for the adapter. Just wanted to make sure it was normal.

According to Rocketfish's website, and the documentation about the device (It's on the link below) you don't need an external power source since the tablet connects to the device by way of a wireless connection. It does say that the device requires an HDTV with a USB port though, something my old cruddy HDTV I still have in my bedroom does not have (I would be using this device mostly upstairs.). Nevertheless I confirmed that if your tv doesn't have a USB port then you can use an AC adaptor to power the device. This Rocketfish device seems to be perfect. Having to use all these cables to connect my tablet to a tv is a real pain...

The Monoprice MHL adapter I have will not work on any device without external power hooked up to it. If you are using screen mirroring/ miracast for wireless display then you do not need power hooked up. The Rocketfish MiraCast receiver I have does require USB power while plugged into a TV's HDMI slot to function. Most TV's have a usb port for attaching a thumb drive or doing firmware updates and this will power the receiver. Hope this helps.

You can use a usb wall adapter for the usb power. Mine came with the small device, a short HDMI ext. cable, and the microusb power cable in the box. I have used several devices with the Miracast receiver. Be aware that most devices will require you to press the WPS button on the receiver the first time you connect it. I have used a Nexus 10, Nexus 7 (2013), Nvidia Shield, and a HTC Droid DNA with it and all work well. The Shield only required me to use the PIN number shown on the TV screen to connect, all the others required me to press the WPS button on the receiver to connect the first time. After connecting the first time all you have to go into settings on the android device to connect. You can move the receiver to a different TV and still reconnect without pressing the WPS button again. The only time you should have to repair the device is if you factory reset or install a different rom on the android device. Sorry for the long response just trying to give as much information as I know to help with your decision.

Not sure if you were asking about the Rocketfish one specifically...
I bought the OEM MHL 2.0 adapter on Amazon and can confirm that you can indeed connect to HDMI without any power source.

confirmation
I don't need the power cord plugged in on mine but I do need the 5 to 11 pin adapter in the micro usb port of the tablet to get it connected to my tv.

does any one know if this will work?

It should people have said the Note II compatible MHL adapters will work.

I bought one off of ebay
I bought the one below from ebay from seller nj-store and I can connect it with and without the power cord; However, it will it disconnect it by itself every 5-10 minutes regardless of whether or not it has the power connected. Has anyone tried the original Samsung MHL 2.0? If so does it require the power and also does it charge the Note while the power is connected? Cause the one I bought off of ebay does not charge the Note when the power is connected. I seen some original Samsung MHL 2.0 connectors on amazon like for $16.99 but most people think they received the MHL 1.0 because it requires power. Thanks.

I have the original Samsung MHL 2.0. I bought it on Amazon *from* Amazon. I paid more for it, but I wanted to ensure I was getting the genuine product... I've read a few reviews where people were getting the 1.0 (or worse yet, fakes) when buying from 3rd party sellers.
It does not require power to connect my Note II phone or Note 10.1 2014 tablet to a monitor or TV. When I do connect power, it charges both devices.

Thank for letting me know. Do you happen to have the link to the Amazon one? All I find is third parties and fulfilled by amazon. Thanks.

I just went to my Amazon account and clicked on my orders to get you a direct link... Amazon must now be out of stock on them. All I see are 3rd party vendors at the moment.

Can you post the model number of your adapter. I have gotten one suppose to be original and the model number is ET H10FAUWEGWW per the box, but the adapter itself does not have a model number but just a serial number and it says it is made in Korea. It does have this number on it KFC RE SEC ET H10FAUWE which I don't know what it is. The reason for my question is that it works well but it does not charge my note when my power adapter is attached to it. Thanks.

Just wanted to make sure about this adapter being able to charge the Note 2014 edition. I tried it on a galaxy S3 and S4 and it charge both but not the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. It must need more power I guess cause I was using the Note 2014 edition original charger. Have you tried on the note 2014 edition?

Note 10.1 2014 OTG & Charging

I've got a Note 10.1 2014 mounted in the dash of my truck to replace the radio and am on a mission to figure out how to get USB OTG to work with charging. I've read an ocean of threads regarding hacking MHL adapters, but there is not any information specific to the Note 10.1 2014.
Right now I've got a relay system in the dash that switches between a OTG cable and a charge cable depending if the ignition is on or off. This works for my basic purposes, but if I use GPS navigation and wifi tethering, I run the battery pretty low after only 3-4 hours. When I turn off the truck it begins charging, but that wont work for a road trip.
I've tried the Samsung smart dock (without reading that it wouldn't work), and of course, it doesn't work, although it would be the perfect solution.
My idea is that there would be some way to use the 11 pin MHL connector on the device to get what I'm after. Looking at the pinout, it seems that there are some USB host pins within the 6 additional MHL pins, but I do not know of anyone who has tapped into them and had OTG working.
Is anyone else trying to get this to work on a Note 10.1 2014? I'm happy to hack up and solder anything and everything imaginable to give it a try, but I'd like to collaborate about it and see if we as a group can get this working.

Im about ready to rip apart my smartdock and see exactly why it wont work with this tablet.... have no idea why it qont recognise the tablet...

Meanwhile, is there a possibility for that knock-out?

High current charging has an impact on the signal lines. So USB 2.0 current is limited to 500mA, or probably the 900mA from USB3, if the port can provide it. On a standard USB2 port the Note remains self-powered. And even with 900mA it will slowly discharge while in use, despite the battery charging at max current. On a 2A charger, the operating power bypasses the battery, which is much more healthy for it.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I asked imprecise. What I liked to ask is, if there is meanwhile a possibility to charge the tablet while using the usb connection e.g. with an external hard disk?

Almost certainly not. Samsung could have provided a charger jack, or even support wireless charging. But it was not meant to be.

I just tried one of the charge and 2 female usb adapters off ebay and it didnt charge. It detected the usb connectors connection, but wouldnt charge.
$5 lost...

Did you used the wall plug? Because the tab needs 2A for charging...

Why not take away the USB requirement? I assume you want this to allow external storage, in this case get some sort of NAS that can be 12V powered and install that in your truck then allow the Note to connect to this via Wifi, then the USB port can be dedicated entirely for charging only.
Plus you have the benefit that when at home you can transfer file to your NAS without needing to leave you PC.

Are you using the LTE/3G for internet access? if not then setting up a wireless network in your truck might work. I use a HooToo TM001 (also have the TM002) to do this set up. The hub has a 6000mah battery that when the USB drive is not installed can charge a device.

i know it's been a while since OP posted, but i've been using a wireless HD so i can use external storage and maintain a charge. if you get the seagate wireless plus, you'll be able to charge and stream at the same time as long as you use a usb3.0 cable to charge from (it's included). using a 2.0 cable will turn off wifi.
it's quite a bit more than OTG, but it does allow you to have tons of storage available while still having a charging option.

I use a nexus 7 in the dash of my car (sure do wish I had space for the note 10.1 in there though!) With the nexus 7 I bought a y-cable that allows me to charge AND use otg functions. However, a specific kernel was needed im pretty sure. I set it all up a while back so I cant remember specifically sorry. Its all nexus 7 forums here though.

yeah mate, i'll have a look for you. the nexus 7 is out of the car now cus im trying to make a custom facia to fit the samsung note 10.1 in there. so I'll have to charge it up and have a look which kernel it was running. but im pretty sure it was just the default one that came with the AutoDroid rom in the nexus 7 forums.
if you don't hear back from me just pm me, I'm forgetful as hell and its coming into exam time....so yeah

HDMI adapter compatible with SM-600 model?

Hi all, new user for galaxy note 10.1 2014 version.. thanks for the threads, very useful info..
As I have trouble finding the Samsung compatible adapter through amazon or ebay in the UK, should I assume that any 11 pin HDMI adapter is compatible? should I look for adapter for Galaxy note 3 or the Galaxy S3?
Thanks a lot!!

Look for the mhl 2.0 adapter from samsung. It's branded "for galaxy s4/s5". Just make sure it's mhl 2.0. I have it and it works very good, outputs 1080p/60fps and it works without connecting power.
looks like this: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA

Thanks for the prompt response Clouds5..
I have trouble finding that specific adapter you posted.. even Samsung has run out ..
However, I find many cables with s/n ET-H10FAUWEGWW... The one you have posted is the ET-H10FAUWEGUJ.. Should I assume that these adapter are the same? I am in the uk, maybe this is s/n for the international market? Essentially anything in the ET-H10FAU family is the same, provided of course that it is branded as MHL 2.0 adapter and suitable for galaxy S4/5 as you point out?
Thanks..

Look at Amazon.uk for Samsung MHL 2.0 and pick a geniune one. Alot of fakes around and read the comments. Reak MHL 2.0 dont need power source and fakes ones needs.
ex might be real: (read comments)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-ET-...d=1397297202&sr=8-63&keywords=Samsung+MHL+2.0
Might be fake: (read comments, delivered from China = mostlty fakes)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Sam...id=1397297537&sr=8-2&keywords=Samsung+MHL+2.0
I did bought a cheap MHL 2.0 from ebay, seller was from China and it did works for a while. It also needed powersource to work, after a while and aspect ratio become weird. So it was a fake one for 6 US only.
Decide to buy new one from mine country and it didnt needed any powersource connected to MHL 2.0 adapter. It was cheap, just 20 bucks deal back then and also described for Galaxy S5, even back then S5 wasnt even announced and lucky it was genuine from Samsung.
Real and fake have different weights too. There is a thread about real vs fakes MHL 2.0.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2412756
The fake from ebay I bought was indeed around 26 gram and real one with 20 bucks deal weights 42 gram.

Thank you dt33.. I have just ordered the adapter you pointed out - I had it already in my Amazon basket assuming that it is a genuine one..
I also read the thread about genuine/fakes.. looks like that unless it comes directly from Samsung, then it is a gamble..
I will test it, weight it and report back with the s/n.. hopefully it will help someone facing the same problem.
Thanks,
Achilleas

I bought this one per recommendation of another XDA user. Works as it should for now.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331104244157?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

All good
To complete the thread and potentially help future buyers from the UK....
I bought the Samsung ET-H10FAUWESTA which turned out to be the ET-H10FAUWEGWW... bottomline: all the genuine variations of the ET-H10FAU cable seems to work for our model.. and no need to be plugged in so all good..
Thanks all for the help.

Does it charge the tablet while HDMI out is using?

the HDMI cable works without the wall plug.. just with the tablet's power..
if you use the wall plug then it will charge the tablet while the HDMI is used...Is this what you are asking?

Could you verify?

I have trying to find one that will charge the tablet at the same time you have the tablet connected to a monitor though an HDMI cable. Does the tablet (specifically, the Note 10.1 2014) show that it is in the charging mode when you are using this adapter with the wall plug? Thanks!

I have a HDMI adapter for my N7000 which I also use for my SM P-605 and it works just fine but does not charge my tablet while connected to my TV. After the kitkat update, (surprise! surprise!) it just decided to charge my tablet while connected to my TV.So probably it's a kernel thing.

Wait a second here. Are you saying that your tablet charges only through the mhl connector without being connected to the wall plug? If this is the case, it receives power through the hdmi cable?! This is really strange. I didn't know hdmi could offer the needed current for our tablet to charge!!! To be sincere I don't think this actually works. You probably need the wall plug to be connected to the mhl for it to actually charge the tablet.

It's connected to a wall plug of course, but before kitkat even with the " wall plug" connected it doesn't charges and now it does.
