Are you guys using the OEM samsung one or a third party one? I've been looking to get one and the Samsung one seems really overpriced. I ordered the Fosmon one but it was out of stock and the reviews for it aren't thay great so I might up ordering the OEM one.

I'm not talking about chargers, I'm talking about the adaptor that turns the phone's usb port into an hdmi port

I'm pretty sure we as Note 2 owners are locked into using Samsung's proprietary MHL adapter. We can't even use one that worked with the GS2, Galaxy Nexus, or even the Note 1 without an additional adapter. The GS3 and the Note 2 have a special pin layout that requires their newest and most expensive MHL adapter. Amazon has one for 34 bucks and I've been hesitant to jump on it because I don't know how much I'll really use it.
i just bought one samsung mhl to hdmi of ebay and it dint work on my note 2 only on the galaxy s3

I am using an 11 pin wire I bought off of amazon for 15 bucks. Its an all in one soulution. It has a micro usb head for the phone, full size usb to plug into your tv or power block and an hdmi. Works well. Ive had no problems.

Bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A9H30LU/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1356068387&sr=8-5&pi=SL75
It should be here tomorrow. Wish i would have seen that red one. Does the same job for half the price. Oh well i guess.
I ended up getting the official Samsung MHL adapter from best buy online because I had some rewards zone credits. paid nothing for it. Unfortunately, it turned out that it was the older generation adapter and doesn't work with my note 2. Ordered the 5pin to 11pin adapter from samsung using the 50% off coupon and paid 5 bucks (plus 4 bucks shipping sadly) This combination works perfectly. a bit clunky with the additional piece but cost me 9 bucks total, can't complain. Works perfectly even using the extra adapter. :good:
ps - smart dock for the note 2 is also avaliable on amazon atm

It's been posted in a couple other forums but I don't see it anywhere here and thought people might be interested. I ordered two.

I have one ans cannot get it to work . Are u sure HDMI out is supported?

Well there goes twenty bucks! I bought two of them and two HDMI cables.
It does work, did you hook up a charge cable? MHL won't supply power unless your TV supports the standard.

Mine arrived today, works great.
Just received mine. I had to mess with the overscan settings on the tv to get rid of the black bars but it works well.
Shopping accessories for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Verizon, I notice that there's a ton of generic USB Host adapters and memory card readers available for dirt cheap, but nobody seems to have done a generic HDMI adapter. Am I simply looking in the wrong places, or is there a reason why only the expensive Samsung branded ones are available?
You are right. Nothing generic on ebay... Only Samsung original.

Dealextreme also has a ton of generic USB adapters and such, but nothing for HDMI.
I don't really NEED HDMI of course, but it would be kind of nice.
maybe you could try to look for it at staples they had it real cheap last time i looked
I bought my hdmi adapter from verizon wireless..$9 for the docking station etc..best price and works perfect

Any one know if there's a cheaper one available and confirmed working?
There are cheapo ones that say "galaxy s3, s3, htc evo, etc" compatible, but i dont think a lot of sellers realize its a different pin connection.
has anyone been able to purchase one that works?
the genuine samsung one is too expensive.

Same!
You can use a cheapo adapter with Samsung's adapter kit.

Free shipping to the US. $26 shipping to Canada (which is why I haven't purchased it yet)
Yeah I think I may just use the MHL adapter from the GS2 and the 5-pin to 11-pin adapter tip both from samsung. At least they're both OEM and I don't really feel like waiting.
MHL: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006FYXL2O/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&smid=A2AXKMC4UVT4QQ
Adapter Tip: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083FYL0O/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=A1FBR7E8HT21EQ
Total is only $22.65. Just over half the price of the GS3 adapter.
The adapter tip you guys are referring to is usb to micro hdmi right? So you need the adapter tip plus micro hdmi to hdmi cable. The latter can be picked up for 4 bucks from ebay.

No, the MHL adapter is a microUSB to regular HDMI adapter. However the old MHL adapters for the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S2 use a 5-pin microUSB input and you need an 11-pin microUSB input so that's what the adapter tip does.
There is a 3rd party one here for preorder

I'm pretty sure that's a Galaxy Nexus in that video. Note the on-screen soft buttons and lack of physical home button.

yup i agree, and $15 less than the original from Samsung. I am sure it works the same way.
Does a cheap MHL cable work just as well as the expensive one or is there any difference?
I bought a cheap one in focalprice some weeks ago (+-8 usd) , I will see then, but I don't own an expensive one to comapre,
I will review as I get it
Most of the time cheap is just as good

Go to Amazon and read reviews. You do get what you pay for in mhl... I have the Skiva mhl ($15). I bought one of the $5 ones first, and after HD mkv was stuttering and draining quicker than it could charge, I bought the Skiva and learned my lesson. In most cases, except simple cables like hdmi, you get what you pay for.

If anyone uses a good quality cable or knows of one could u point me in that direction because I always find that the samsung ones stop working after a while around where it plugs into the phone.

AW: New Charger Cable
I always buy the 1 buck things from eBay. They work pretty well and if one breaks there are still enough, because I always buy 5 or 6 at a time.

I have a media bridge 6 foot cable I got off amazon. Great charger cable. It seems like it charges faster than stock too. Not just on my nexus, but also my uncles note.

Just checked eBay.
From 1€ to 4,10€ in a day...
Lucky me. I bought 5 for 1 each a few weeks ago.
Hope they will lower the price soon.

I recently bought a nice retractable one from my local Office Max. Liking it a lot! Charges just as fast as the original cable and works for data as well.

I think Google just started accessories for the Nexus 4, like a USB cable, maybe that one will be solid.
