Hi guys,
I'm interested to know if there's a cable that can do everything that the smart dock does as I don't like the fact I can't use the smart dock in landscape mode.
I want to connect the Note 2 to a screen via HDMI, keep it charged/charging and have a female USB port so I can connect a hub/PS3 controller/Memory stick etc.
Also, I've read online that I may need to root to get all this functionality working?
Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm new to the Android community, just finished using BlackBerry.
Thanks
That's the dream. For now an non existant one...

All that I'm interested in is accessing external storage. Would this work?

From what i understand you need to get that Micro-A version not the B version. I THINK
No it does not work.

That cable specifically, or I have to use a MHL cable?
This one claims to work with GSII

Won't work either way.
That and most cable will work with Galaxy S2 but it won't work with Epic 4G Touch Galaxy S2. Although they are close they are not the same phone.
USB OTG is disabled on the Sprint version of the SGSII. MHL is only to split the USB data from the HDMI stream.
Do you guys know when it'll be enabled? I asked in a development thread for ICS to see if it could be added in the new kernel they are developing for it and got flamed by Jerdog.
I would love to have this as I use it a lot on my Xoom.

It is a really nice feature I use on the zoom as well. It would be nice to get it enabled.
Can anyone verify if the MHL cable works out of the car dock?
Mhl does not work while in home dock

That certainly is a bummer. I assume car dock would be the same then. Thanks for answering!
I saw online that you can buy an otg adapter to connect a USB flash drive, keyboard , and even an Xbox controller
I bought an adapter for it for like 10 bucks
GTA 3 has the support for it I think

I didn't know about USB OTG, I was under the impression that simply connecting a mouse, keyboard, etc. from USB A to USB B micro wouldn't work but these seem to be different. Is that right? If so I'll totally buy one. Seems worth it at times to be able to connect a keyboard and/or mouse. I use bluetooth for my PS3 controller right now but this could be beneficial in other ways.

Is there an adapter to have split usb ports? I need to use 2 ports at the same time, or would the function not even work then.

Too bad they don't have the Gameklip for our t989 yet, but all you need to do is go on their facebook page and post a request for it on our phone and "like" all of the other posts requesting the same thing for our t989. When there's enough demand, they'll add our phone to the list. Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/GameKlip

The Skyrocket has a gameklip and it's only 1mm taller and wider, so I ordered one and I will try to remember to comment here again once I have it and can see if it works.
Just hold out a little longer guys. This fall, there will be no less than 5 manufacturers that'll be releasing bluetooth controllers for our phones/tablets.
Just do a Google search for:
PowerA SDK
Nyko NVIDIA Playpad
SteelSeries Ion

I believe this is what you need!

You could go this route:
http://www.cellphoneshop.net/mhlhdmi.html
Read review and make sure the one you're buying works for the Note 2 or S3.
I have one from my ol' S2, bought an adapter for my Note 2 and it works like a charm!
Nope.
You need the mhl adapter like others suggested unfortunately. Unless you can find one locally than there is nothing you can do.
You need an mhl cable. More specifically the one from samsung because they made ours non standard.

Or get smart dock which had hdmi out.

Thanks guys. Just didnt make sense. I could view my pictures on the screen but not broadcast netflix to the tv. I plugged it up to my blue ray player and lime I said I could see my pictures and videos just not netflix.

needs to be an 11 pin MHL HDMI output adapter...
I have a MHL hdmi adapter and it works great with everything but netflix. I really want to use it for netflix but the video looks horrible on the TV. Again everything else out of the phone looks great. Games, movies, web browser. Just for some reason netflix wont output correctly. Any ideas on how to make this work? Thanks.
I have the same problem
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
it's just the Netflix app. Other devices suffer from this issue as well. I've seen a video where the Galaxy S3 did it as well.
I have a ASUS Infinity Pad (TF700T) which is running Android 4.1.1 too, and Netflix doesn't do it. The big difference between it and the GN2 it uses a microHDMI instead of MHL.
Same problem here with both the smart dock and the samsung mhl cable.
Netflix does NOT have this problem on the evo lte which uses mhl*.
* Regular standard 5 pin usb mhl not this retarded non standard proprietary special 9 pin samsung thing they somehow get to call mhl even though it's a completely different spec.

Sorry misremembered. You're right 11 pin.
A standard 5 pin mhl cable does not work on the note2.

Yeah I looked it up just in case and yeah they use a different pin setting but turns out better for us since we can use the features of the smart dock

Hey.
I still have my old Desire laying around gathering dust and I was thinking if I could revive it as a miracast adaptor for my flat screen.
Basically the idea was to hook it up to my flat screen so I can mirror my nexus 4 display on my TV.
Naturally a couple of questions arise.
Does the desire even support being connected via HDMI?
Is there even a software (or specific ROM) to make this possible?
Could I connect other things such as wireless mouse/keyboard or external HDDs?
I never really got into USB otg and all that stuff so bear with me if this sounds completely ridiculous.
Thanks in advance.
