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

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

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.

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!
Does anyone have the mhl cable and have they tried it on cm9/10/aokp? I want to buy one but I want it to work on whatever ROM i'm running.
bump
If anyone sees this thread it works on cm10

I'm guessing it would work. I used samsungs 11 to 5 pin adapter and my current mhl cable.
EDIT: audio doesn't seem to be working for me but it might just be my mhl cable.

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...
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...

So, i want to buy the official mhl to hdmi adapter for galaxy s4 which has a product number : ET-H10FAUWEGWW
Will this work with the galaxy s3 that i want to buy? If yes will it work with any tv?(assuming of course it has hdmi port)
It has to be a MHL enabled TV. At least that's what I've read. I actually bought one of those cables and tested it on my HDTV and it wouldn't show anything at all. I tested on both my Sprint Galaxy S3 and my Nexus 7 FHD.

Could u give me the link where u read it?
The Samsung Galaxy S3 uses MHL
The Google Nexus 7 FHD uses SlimPort
These are two different standards and the cable is not interchangeable.

Unfortunately I'm a new user so I have a few more posts before I can post a link in a reply. But if you go to best buys website and search MHL you will find what I have read. I think I included a screenshot in this reply.
Just because it says it on bestbuys website doesn't make it real. The MHL standard is designed to convert to regular HDMI. Any HDMI TV should work fine with it.
No offense to anyone. But I'm going to take the word of Best Buy's website unless, you have proof besides your say so.

If it says it's for any Samsung Galaxy product it's worth a shot. I don't know anything about MHL really. But the cord I have doesn't work and that's what I'm going off of. And the best buy website. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.

The other thing to note is are you running a custom rom. I think the mhl drivers are in the touchwiz frameworks.

There is no such thing as a MHL enabled TV. MHL works on anything HDMI ready. The only thing is if you are running a AOSP based rom, it will not work, right now i only works on TouchWiz.
My MHL adapter works flawlessly on my 2010 Aquos.

Actually, there is such a thing, but it's not that important.
An MHL-compatible TV will supply power (5V/500mA in 1.0, 900mA in 2.0. and 2A in 3.0) to the adapter and charge the phone.
A non-MHL-compatible TV won't do that and you'll have to connect your own charger, but it will work fine otherwise.

So if the tv has an hdmi port and i have a power supply, i should have no problem it seems...
If the only difference is the USB ports are more powerful then I don't see how that has anything to do with MHL.
I have successfully tried my MHL cable on many TVs and I've always used it's own power adapter plugged into the wall.
I have heard there are crappy MHL adapters that do not work though.

Correct. an MHL TV just means you don't need to have a charger on hand, have a free outlet, have a long enough micro USB cable to get to that outlet, etc. etc.
