I'm not sure if this cable was originally made for the Tab, but I bought it as a crap shoot hoping I could video out simply, if not high quality from my note 10.1. I've tried it on two composite devices, but no go....on HDMI the note 10.1 just automatically starts sending out a cloned screen video signal, but no dice with this thingie. Is there a trick to it?

I've tried to find a way, but I am seriously having issues. I need to find a way to interface the note 10.1 with older video devices; options for input being I could use VGA, composite, s-video, but I can't seem to find anything definitive/documented as working, and am sure as **** not going to by a converter/processor to convert HDMI signal, those boxes are expensive and luggy!
I even tried using a ? server/client forgot the name just now, and it works for slides, but forget animations or video, also tried this app called screencast and screen recorder, but the live stream option seems to be removed from it. I am seriously getting bogged down by the thought that I won't be able to use the tablet for its intended purpose.

I can confirm the galaxy tab p1000 hdmi dock mirrors the screen to hdtv...paid $6 the other day for one.but with hdmi disconnected the basic audio out didnt work....pretty sure i can get this to work tho...as for the tv out cable i believe it should work...im going to try to strip the 30pin side again soon an see whats happening....you could grab the pinnout diagram and test the resistance between the usb id pin and ground on that cable without disasembling if your really tricky with some wire....i use mig welding wire usually for this task.

Yeah, that'll never work- composite is only good up to 480i in the US, and we're (essentially) 720P; perhaps the GTab (OG 7.0?) it was intended for either had a 480i overlay available or downconverted.
Any ideas though, man? I'm seriously hurting here.

Most likely not, unfortunately. According to this post, the composite output (vs. the MHL connection that powers the HDMI dongles) is on pin 23 - I wouldn't be surprised if there's simply no connection from the Note to that pin, as it doesn't make any sense, logically.
Yep pin 23 thats the one...I agree that it might not be connected...it would be nice if up to what tab models could be confirmed that this works...this is the same pinnout diagram I used for wiring my note for power and audio out cable in my car cradle...I can confirm its correct for audio left/right, power, usb id and mhl hdmi im still hoping it has video out too.when traveling I have stayed in a few places that still had composite tv's so wether it be good or not its a very easy cable to carryfor those situations.

Wait, can I clone my Note 10.1 screen on a laptop wirelessly via ALLSHARE?, and then connect that laptop to a projector/whatever?
I thought you didnt want to use allshare....?or were you just refering to the allshare dock hdmi part.are you running a newish sammy laptop with allshare or is it there allshare program for pc/windows?

I never futzed with allshare because i never really thought it would be useful. I would still love an easy way to hook up my note 10.1 via a cable to connect to older video/audio tech, but my specific need at the moment is to be able to use my tablet in a classroom environment, either hooked up via a cable, or wirelessly, somehow ending up on a projector.
It dawned on me when i did a modified google search centered around the same question when a teacher wanted to do the same thing, and someone suggested ALLSHARE. I had never thought to use it, since it is adding a step, but if i can connect my note 10. wirelessly to a pc, and have the pc clone the tablets screen, and then connect that same pc via VGA to a projector, I will have accomplished my specific, at the moment need.
I downloaded the pc program here

well, one dude suggests using a dongle, but i would prefer not to be buying any more stuff, and now that i think about it, having the tablet and bringing it to each student so they can do stuff on the tablet would be saaaaweet, but now I am asking myself, would a cable like this work to just hook up the tablet to a vga? i mean...you would have like 3 cables coming out of your tablet, and it would look like the borg, but if it is possible, why not?

Seriously- just get an AllShare Dongle ($80 from Amazon and maybe even cheaper elsewhere) and hook it into an existing HDMI-capable projector. Then you'd be wireless, and it just seems that any other way of trying to do this (especially in a classroom environment) would be a hacky and potentially-unstable solution.
You should try it! That would be awesome!

I bit the bullet and ordered one. Though now that I think about it, it seems to me like this sort of technology, the dongle I mean, should be able to be used with any device that has wifi. Someone needs to figure out a way to be able to use this sort of thing with any technology with wifi and video audio.
Right? Perhaps a hub hack?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk 2
Dongle works great, though you gotts either usi g cwm recovery, or stock, some have gotten it to cast with cwm and counter to 1, but I had to go stock,
Just thought I would follow up. With twrp and counter reset to "1" using triangle away, allshare cast didnt want to let me connect to the hub. It would connect and then after making the connection, it basically disconnected, with a little message like, sessiono will now end, or something like that.
Flashing the stock recovery was easy with odin, then triangle away again, and 0 being the count as nothing is shown in download mode, and as of this moment I am casting to my projector worth the dough if you plan on using it often I say.

Hey guys, i don't know if this has been addressed before or not. Is it possible to use the Evo as a USB Host, that is to say, (in my case) connect my DSLR to my Evo and download pictures so i can upload them to tumblr etc or flash drives to get files etc.
or am i just shooting in the dark here?
Possible (check)

do you have a cable to even connect the two? micro to mini (if its a canon/nikon, if im not mistaken) micro to micro (pentax), beause else you'll need a powered hub according to the first link posted.
I just thought to start researching the status of otg usb and usb host mode on the evo. And to my surprise this is the only crappy thread I've come across. I cannot find an anwser as to if the evo has the hardware to support it. I know that the n1 droid and maybe the incredible support usb host mode even if u need a single its still something I want to know. I would drool over connecting usb flash drives, keyboards, game controllers etc to my evo. Someone else please show interest in this.
i concur. i'd love to be able to plug my ipod/DSLR/flash drive into my phone to upload/download files. i'd be willing to donate to make this happen
The list is endless... MIDI Controllers, extra screens, ethernet, fingerprint reader, wtvr.
Just got the cable today. Checking out these

Looks like they have this working on the Desire HD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993152
It's a similar device to the Evo, so maybe there is hope for the Evo to get it?
would like to bring this one back I just got a program called DSL controller it says my phone wont do usb host. Not sure if there is a kernel I need or if there is a ROM I can run etc.
I just ordered the cable I need for my phone and camera. So if anyone knows of a ROM that may do this please advise.
Any one try this yet? Do not want to spend the money till I see some one had it working
I too desperately wanted this to work... After buying the host-mode cable, trying various methods to allow "host-mode" on the evo, and trying a bazillion different combinations of settings - the DSLR controller software *always* gives me a "your device does not support USB host mode" error. I'm afraid this is dead in the water. DSLR Controller does, however, work nicely on my Asus Transformer tablet
Hi guys. So the only thing I've done to my i747 is root it. I've tried both of the USB host apps in the market (USB Host Controller and StickMount) as well as the "SGS3-Easy-UMS" apk that's around, v1.2beta2 and v1.3beta. Can't attach any USB devices. All my flash drives are FAT32 and work well normally. I even ran the USB Host Diagnostics app and it confirmed that Android API, Rooted API, and Kernel "claim support" but no device is detected.
When I connect to sync, I can only do MTP transfers. This is why I looked into that EasyUMS apk because it apparently also allows to mount the phone on the PC as a USB Mass Storage device. During my search I see numerous people connecting flash drives, controllers, keyboards, and even a USB HDD to their sgs3's.
Because that apk requires busybox, and I have busybox, everything looked OK. However, I did once get an error from that APK about possible non-existant Kernel support. USB Host Diags disagree, as do many video tutorials.
Basically I'd like to know whether or not this is supposed to be working, and if not, then how do I go about making it work? I'd like to mount flash drives for easier use with Linux, and would like to mount the phone as UMS for the same reason. I would also like to use a USB Keyboard as well as a USB gamepad. Am I missing something? Are they all using the international?

got this one, a couple good reviews confirmed that it works with input devices: Amazon product# B005GI2VMG
i mean it's very possible that the seller just buys from random manufacturers without changing the listing. this one that i have is like the cheapest thing on the market so that may be the problem. i wouldn't mind trying a different one for <$5 w/ US shipping if that exists (recommendations?).
Same cable didn't work for me
I bought the same cable, but from a different seller. Amazon ID number B005N55WHI
And I have the same problem. Tried using it with several input devices and with several different roms and I couldn't make it work. Could it be a power issue? Does the USB device that it is being hooked up to have to be powered? I tried it with mice, keyboards, and flash drives, but all of those devices take their power from the bus, not an external source.
glad you posted. hmm. since we both have the same thing and they're both not working, i'm suspecting it's indeed the cable.
i read on a review of a different cable on Amazon where the guy cut open the connector and found no wire connected to one of the pins. i've had thinner-cable wires before that charged/transferred slower than others or didn't work at all on some higher-end devices, could really just be a cheap-out on the manufacturer's end.
i think i'd like to get a different cable. if anyone can recommend an inexpensive one that's confirmed working i'd appreciate it. so i don't have to shoot in the dark.
I got the one with Amazon ID B00871Q5PI and it worked for me. I tried a Dell USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and a USB DAC and they all worked. All take power from the bus.

No, would not make a difference. USB OTG is a standard and for now all devices that have USB OTG work with all USB OTG cables. I've used a cheapass one from Ebay with my S2/Note/S3 for more than a year now.
solved for me
so i got the one drothenberger got (actually that particular link was out of stock for the seller so i got the other suggested one that looks exactly the same, title OTG for SGS3 - item# B00871Q5PI) and i'm in business!!!
someone replied to my negative review of the other one i got in the comments and they said theirs worked. i think they just have different products under the same label or lots of defective ones. i'd recommend to just get the ones that specifically say OTG for SGS3 - the extra dollar or whatever is worth it to save the trouble.
thanks again to everyone for the troubleshooting, hope this topic helps others resolve their issues.
Hi all, ive gave up on the slim chance that there might be a BT chip inside the kindle fire 2.

I wasn't going to answer because I'm not a dev....but was curious so looked up some stuff.
From what I can see....I can't find anyone doing that, ever. Yet I see a LOT of people saying "No, not possible unless you get a custom ROM" yet....I haven't found anyone that has actually done this!
Not sure why, although since we have devs I will be curious to see their response. No idea why I can't find a SINGLE post of anyone doing it, yet I also haven't seen anyone that has flat out said no, only that you will need a custom ROM.
If we do get it working, it would probably be one of the first times someone has done bluetooth via OTG. If you can find anyone that has done it before though, that may help out.

well my plan was to buy a usb dongle, cheap ofcourse, put an external power supply, i.e 5v supply if i cant get one. for talking sakes lets say i use a battery ( i know voltage etc are not same as 5v supplied by normal usb ports) hook red + on battery, black to negative on the battery and add a switch so i can switch it on and off, so the only thing i would then need to take would be the data coming from the kindle itself. From what i can gather cm10 has bluetooth dongle support, if so then it would just be a case of an app looking at usb instead of internal bluetooth. Please correct me if i am wrong ( which i am pretty sure i am ). This is one feature which has let the kf2 down for me. All the others i can live with, even if i only had stock rom and it had bluettoth connectivity, it would be better for me. I hate having ideas but not being able to do anything about it so any advice, tips or reasons as to why it will not work is all good
While im on, does anyone have a kf2 with custom rom, a powered usb hub, an otg cable, a bluetooth dongle and a spare ten mins to check if the dongle is recognised by the kf?

Sorry to revive this, but I have a kindle fire 2, rooted with the official cyanogenmod jellybean. I'm later going to order a bluetooth dongle and I already have a powered hub. Being a college student I have a lot of spare time to this sorta thing. I'll check back later if there are replies or if i have done it and have results.
EDIT:
Although some people on this thread have already said that bluetooth doesn't work without a powered hub, you can find videos demonstrating it without a powered hub. I'll also test this later.
Cm10 + otg + bt dongle = works!
I recently about an Onda V973 specifically so that I can load CM onto it but was disappointed that BT wasn't built-in. So I got an OTG cable and a cheap dongle. At first the connection didn't work but after a reboot CM was able to load the drivers for the dongle. Works great! :good:
I am 99% sure Kindle Fire does not have a bluetooth chip. I tried it myself on CM10.2, 10.1, and it doesn't activate. The modem does not have this feature.
It would be interesting to try and mod the tablet that way, though.
Been asked this... I don't have the Galaxy tab 3 so I am not familiar with the ports. I assume it has a USB port, but don't know if you could actually use it to connect to a wired Ethernet with it using an adapter.

Seems they replaced all their field tech notebooks units with these, but forgot they need to do hard wired Ethernet testing using it.

Hi there, I bought an MHL cable from Ebay and was trying to connect the phone with TV. I have connected the power cord and did all the setup as required. The phone was charging, but the TV was just showing 'No Signal' as it was not detecting the phone. The adapter looks like a Chinese import at 8$. I tried many suggestion as people have posted here including the connection order of TV, Phone etc and but with no luck. Can someone please help me out here? GNexus is not officially launched in India, but S2 is. So do you think buying the original Samsung S2 adapter will work for Nexus? Thanks in advance!
I have no luck with MHL on this phone. Broken on 99% if not 100% of custom ROM and kernels. Every time I sought support for it I was just told to "use stock ROM and kernel"
Even on doing that my screen glitches and boom. Reboot. Bootloops until I unplug it. I wish you good luck and if you figure out how to get it working, shoot me a pm
