Question Regarding USB/Hub and HDTV?

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
Clicky
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.

5 pin mhl + 5 to 11 pin adapter?

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

MHL (connect phone to tv)?

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

MHL not working

I'm having problem with my 8.4. It is rooted on stock.
I can't get MHL to work, I tested the cable on my SII and it works fine. I don't know what's wrong with it.

carefully check connector pin count

From pictures on Ebay the charge+ port on the S2 has 7 pins in line. For sure, the microUSB port on the 8.4 has one row of 5 plus another row of 6. Thats 11 pins. The plug might fit in the hole, but it ain't goin' work.
There are a couple HDMI adapters for the 8.4 that do work fine. See the thead under accessories.

MHL cable layout changed from the Galaxy S3 onwards. The cable I bought after the change has worked on all my Samsung devices since. They are cheap as chips on ebay.

11 pin adapter
I have the newer MHl to HDMI along with 11 pin adapter and still MHL not working

Questions About OTG

I have some questions for you guys regarding USB OTG, espicially from India. I have bought 2 wrong OTG and I'm afraid to buy malfunction adapter again. I know our phone support OTG as I can use my friend's Galaxy S8 stock OTG adapter flawlessly. Will this OTG work with our phone?
MIVI Type C to USB Adapter
If not, any suggestions? And besides, I found Samsung Galaxy S8 adaptor on Ebay. But afraid to buy as the seller only have about 80% positive feedback/rating.

This adapter will work for sure. But you can always get a lower priced one. I brought this adapter in 100 rupees in local stores.

Any type c otg with USB 3.0 shall work. I also have a cheaper one that works well on my device.
