Can I connect my Note 2 to a USB only monitor. I know I should be able to connect to VGA or DVI with adapter but cant find any info on USB monitors.

Is it possible to connect the Galaxy SIII to a portable USB monitor? There are a lot of portable monitors with HDMI input (5" to 10") using for camera but they are expensive. Some cheaper monitors only have USB input. I wonder whether is it possible to connect the phone to those. If yes, how about the sound, bcz cell phone only has one mini-USB output that can be used as HDMI output?
How about connecting the phone to a cheap portable HDTV?
How do you get the usb ethernet adapter to work? it lights up when i plug it into my micro usb to standard usb female adapter but I don't see an ethernet function or anything...
Was wondering for those who have the dock... is it possible to use a wired mouse via the usb port, or does it have to be bluetooth??
i have a wired mouse but it doesn't pick it up.
When i plug in a usb device be it a mouse or HDD it won't register it.
Thanks.
btw running omega rom v10.
for those that think im on about a regular dock, it's the 'smart dock'
From Samsung's website:
"Connect an HD monitor, external storage device, and USB keyboard and mouse to turn your smartphone into a productivity powerhouse. "
So it must work...somehow
Good luck. Am trying to find a Smartdock myself, they seem unavailable.
Works with mine. .It should work. ....also makes the phone screen off as soon as you connect the mouse... when connected to tv .. nice touch by Samsung
Did you connect the power supply. ..it also needs it

I connect the hdmi from dock to tv. Then stock usb to mini usb cable dock to tv
Right?

Only if your tv usb provides power. Otherwise just connect the usb to your phone charger
It's not the usb cable. .. is the charging cable. ..connect it to wall charging

Hi I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 MHL/HDMI Adapter so that I can mirror my Galaxy Note II to TV.

Basically what I'm trying to do is to be able to connect simultaneously this adapter with my external HDD 500Gb.

That way I will be able to carry all my movies in the HDD and being able to play it through my mobile at TV.
Now when I connect the drive alone(non externally powered) to the mobile through USB OTG cable everything works fine.
That's the case when I connect the MHL adapter alone in the mobile. It works great.
My problem is when I try to connect BOTH the HDD and the adapter together. That way I can open my mobile navigate to my HDD and open the video file and play it at any given HDTV. But I can't find the right configuration to make it work. Now the first thing that comes into mind is a USB hub. I try to use this one I own with 3 slots I have but with no luck.

What I do is the following. I connect the HDD directly to the hub through usb. I use a usb to usb cable to power the hub. And on the third usb slot of the hub I power the MHL adapter. To the mobile goes the micro usb male cable of the MHL adapter.
Now what happens is that the MHL adapter as expected works fine, but the HDD, while it seems to power (green light on the HDD) cannot be recognized from the mobile.
I believe this happens for either 2 reasons.
First : There's no way the mobile can see the HDD through the hub this way (could an externally powered usb hub help I wonder??)
Second : I need to have a dual micro usb female to micro usb male cable (which doesn't exist??), so that I can directly connect both the HDD and the MHL adapter on the phone.
Below is a photo of the connectivity if it helps

So what do you think I'm doing wrong or what do you suggest in terms of connectivity?
Thanks in advance for your help and ask anything to clarify if I made things complicated
I'm sorry but I cannot post links because of my limited number of posts thus the "html"
So I attempted to connect my device to a portable monitor via a USBC docking station. The monitor has a micro HDMI in and a USBC port that supports video. The docking station has an HDMI out port that I was attempting to use.
My set up was: I connected the Redmagic 8pro to the docking station via USBC, then the docking station to the monitor via HDMI to Micro HDMI.
The phone is saying that it IS casting but I am not getting any video on the monitor.
I have tested just connecting the phone to the monitor with no docking station using a USBC cable only and it works just fine.
I tested the dock with a different device with the same set up as before and was able to connect with no issues.
Obviously I can just connect via USBC and call it a day but I would like to use the dock because I would also be able to charge my phone and connect USB peripherals as well as the monitor.
Does anyone have any idea why the I can't connect using the dock and the HDMI connection?
I have tried with 2 different Steam Deck docking station from Amazon and HDMI was not working.
I am suspecting a usb alt mode driver issue. The phone also gets a bit lost like charging - disconnected -charging -....
The ethernet, storage, keyboard mouse are working but in the Android logs I dont see any HDMI related logs, so since I was able to build the Linux kernel (with the DP alt mode module), I have to flash,test again but it takes time for me .
I am a bit disappointed that it does not work from the begining, but it is a good step that Nubia is releasing the kernel source code.
The only solution I am aware from reviews is to use a direct HDMI to USBc adapter
Thank you for the reply. It is very unfortunate because without being able to connect to the dock you cannot charge the device while connected to a monitor. Have you tried using any non Steam Deck docking stations, just out of curiosity? I am considering trying a couple. It is probably a waste of time but this is a very frustrating issue and I have not been able to find anything close to a solution.
An Update! I found a dock that I was able to use to successfully connect my device to my portable monitor. I will link all of the hardware I am using, please share with any other users attempting to use a similar set up.
