Hi everyone, quick word to all that these are working with the SGSII. No need to wait until Samsung release them in 1-2 months, and at 6x the price!
Clove Blog will have my video proof up in a couple of hours.
Only enough power to supply pendrives, but drives with their own power supplies, or drives connected to the phone via an externally powered HUB, will work.
Read speeds are fast enough to watch 1080p content.
Unfortunately USB keyboard/mouse, and two different USB gamepads were a fail.
If only I knew a place I could post this where there might be devs around who could read it and make USB gamepad support happen...

Thanks mate, just bought it...
No worries!
Did you see the official ones are priced to sell at like 12pounds!
can it work with a memory card reader?
If the card reader doesn't draw too much power. I tried with one and it didn't work, but if I plug it into my externally powered USB hub then it works fine.
Updated first post with the requisite video proof.
Do you have a link for that dell keyboard & mouse you used in the video?.. it looks great
The Dell Mouse is freely available, I got mine for a song on Ebay.
The keyboard is awesome, but sadly no longer made. Its a Dell-branded 'iGo Stowaway Ultraslim" keyboard, has a truly great hinge mechanism and folds down to next to nothing. You may be able to find it somewhere, but last time I checked I couldn't find any. There are lots of cheap HID profile BT keyboards out there, check my thread in the Galaxy S forums - lots of people confirmed various ones working.
Amazing! excellent video and info
it was nice to also demo the BT keyboard & mouse
thanks
OP, thank you!
Are you rooted? Anything special needed to do the bluetooth? Anything special other than the adapter cable needed for the USB memory stick?
@OP = great post and very informative video

Yep, its Rooted, but that was only for app restoration. There are no mods or hacks applied, everything you're seeing is stock functionality.
would this work on a galaxy s 1? if anyone knows

or desire ;p
I don't think either the Desire or the Galaxy S will do USB OTG (although the Desire may have it baked into a custom ROM, because I know it was enabled in the Nexus 1 with a mod, I don't know enough about Desire custom ROMs to know).
The original Galaxy S does support bluetooth keyboard and mouse though (I have a demo of that in my youtube channel also).
Quick ?
Can you use the BT keyboard without the virtual one popping up?
Hope they release the USB on the go cable ASAP!!!. Thank you very much for the video, it made me get more ansious to get one of this cables and be able to connect my external hard drive full of MKV files.

Great news....
i put a question on the Samsung question page for the galaxy w about how to get the phone to connect to a tv without allshare as we don't have that option.
it seems hard to word it how they want as they declined the question first time round but eventually accepted it and stated that i could use a 3.5mm to rca tv out cable but didn't state if anything needed to be done to enable a setting anywhere. now they won't allow the extra question so i just tried it in the tv but no good.
am i missing a setting somewhere maybe?
the posts that generally come up if i google it are for the galaxy s which has a specific setting for tv-out but the W doesn't.
bump, any ideas guys?
Don't know why but I do have all share on my phone if its missing from yours I guess you just have to add it.
see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465668
thanks for the reply mate.
i do have allshare but the tv doesn't utilise it as it's a Sony unless i am missing something.
thanks again, any other suggestions guys?
i spoke to samsung today who at first said the W could use a 3.5mm rca cable and to just enable tv-out in the display settings. when i told her that setting wasn't there she said she'd look into it more and get back to me, guess what, she didn't.
is this maybe a software thing with the hardware part being possibly capable of doing it or the opposite?
thanks guys
As far as I know, you can't do that directly.
I think the only way is to hook your computer/laptop to the TV and then use something like this method described here - howtogeek.com/howto/42491/how-to-remote-view-and-control-your-android-phone/ to stream the live video feed from your phone to your computer - and thus to your TV.
But again, I'm not entirely sure that you can't just directly hook the phone to the TV.
hi all!!! everyone have a nokia cable tv to try??? or a micro usb -> hdmi to try it??? i want to buy but i'm not sure if is good for own galaxy W....sorry for my bad english
Got to admit it sucks not having TV-Out when they say you do. I'm sure the phone is more than capable to do this.
I just tried the tv-out thing with a hdmi adaptor made by samsung and it dosent work at all.

RGA cable.. it had red yellow and white right.? maybe try to mix with other colors.. like red cable place into yellow. yellow cable place into red. and white cable place into white make a combination until it get color or as i read... they said... go to display.. then tv out.. ( not very sure coz i dont have my 2.5m-3.5m jack converter .. ( since i gonna use my old nokia RGA cable jajaja ) ( and sorry for my very bad english )
BTW.. someone said on other forums..
Code:
I do agree that there is need of 3.5mm jack to the RCA TV out cable . [B]you have to enable tv-out into the display settings.[/B] you can also use DLNA if the your TV is having support for that. It is working great with this particular phone and Samsung or LG devices.
thats what they said
Yeah it had the red, yellow, white. Unlike the Galaxy S there is no option under display to enable TV-Out or in the AllShare either.
Ive tried too with an tv out cable from an old samsung omnia hd,it didnt work,even with an n95 nokia cable,nothing happened.seems that on the wonder,this posibilitty,is not part of his hardware.much of that,i dont know ....

Honestly speaking there is no support
o O From My Ancora o O
Seems strange that Samsung in their 'Galaxy W' page of questions say it is possible with a rga cable. Just a shot in the dark and probably wrong but would it be feasible to take the TV-Out apk (if that's what it's called) from the galaxy S and put it on the W to try. Looking at this page but can't see it so probably not. Also way above my knowledge.
Just spoke to Samsung US support and the guy I spoke to said the US version does support Tv-Out through HDMI cable. He couldn't confirm though whether the European version did!

Hi fellow Xoomers!
I need your help finding a keyboard for my Xoom that comes with USB and HDMI ports.
I actually don't know if such thing exists, but if yes then I need it!
I've almost deserted my PC and my Xoom is doing all the work I need but still there's the need to connect flash drives, use HDMI...etc.
I'd really appreciate it if someone had a link for this.
Thank you in advance!
I use a dell bluetooth keyboard if I need a real keyboard. It is nice since bluetooth is wireless. I'm wondering if this little hub might be something that would work for you. Personally I don't have one. For HDMI, I have a separate cable.

As most people have probably already heard, the "MHL" port on the SGS3 isn't compatible with existing MHL accessories or displays (so it isn't really an MHL port then is it). See this site for more on that.
Sammie has released some over-priced accessories for it, but buying those would reward and re-inforce this move (the only nasty thing the've done on an otherwise brilliant phone) and they would probably become landfill when you get your next phone. Besides, Sammie recently indicated that this port can do more, so I guess that means they will release a second round of video accessories for this phone, making the first round landfill even before you move on to your next phone.
So, if someone really needs video output for their SGS3, what are their options?
Samsung makes a wireless (Wi-Fi) streaming video dongle for the GSIII, but this too appears to be proprietary and possibly just for the GS3. It looks like there are standards coming for wireless streaming, but they aren't here yet (e.g. Miracast).
Are there other wireless video streaming devices that work with the SGS3?
Even better, though, has any other company created accessories that are compatible with the fake MHL port on the SGS3? The best would be something that worked with the SGS3 and with standards compliant MHL devices and displays (of which there are now > 100), but I don't know if that is possible.
Actually, for some users, something a bit different might work...
DLNA for example, which allows you to play content from your phone on any smart TV. It's not the same as 'video out' for your phone, but I think some poeple are just looking for a way to get media from their phone to their display. And DLNA is very widely supported standard now.
Also, these are low cost Android 4 devices in the form of an HDMI dongle - you plug them directly into your TV:
Infinitec Pocket TV
The Kogan Smart TV HDMI dongle
:meh: For $10 you can get the adapter from Samsung to use the old MHL adapters. The new adapter allows USB OTG, if I understand correctly, that is added functionality over what the old MHL offered. I don't think they changed just to make users buy new MHL adapters.

First problem is that would mean you need an adapter for an adapter, which is a cumbersome solution.
More importantly, I believe that what you are saying is not true: I have reviewed the info from Samsung so far and it appears to me that the new adapter adapter does not support any of the additional capabilities (USB org) that Samsung has recently suggested that the 11pin port is capable of.
That means that there will be new accessories soon to enable that capability, so you will have 3 accessories for that one port, just to do one thing.

Get a HDMI android tv dongle.
Then install mirrorOp sender/receiver for screen mirroring.
Works fine enough but frame rate may not be fast enough for gaming mirroring.

Apparently that is an implementation of the Wi-Fi alliances Miracast standard, which sounds great, but for now (i.e. until Android ships with it) it requires root access.
I have bought a few products and have been successful at hooking my note 2 up to a tv with excellent results. I want to also hook up usb hub. I have had SO much bad luck even trying to find out a solution. It seems something is wrong here... oh I see now since I read all of galaxymhl.com. If there was any chance of me paying for the Samsung dock its NOT going to happen now. Dont ever mess with a standard!
I am ready to get out my solder gun and wire it myself...

I need HDMI as well as DATA simultaneously. If I missed something I am sorry. It just seems people and products are not clear about this.
If there is a site on rewiring these cables it would be awesome. Does anyone have a solution???

That depends. I have a few and they do vary in how much power they suck out of the usb port. I have a Hauppauge Hybrid 900 (950 in the US) that gets very hot and drinks power like an alchie. I also have an Asus mini 3000 I got for my eeePC 700 that sips very genteelly. Both have native Linux support but since I bought the above dongle, I won't be trying those.
The other problem is that you would need some android TV software that could interact with those sticks. The programs on Google Play seem to be very hardware specific.
