All in one kit?

Hello!
I am currently dreaming for 1 accessory which is capable of doing many things without using that much cables etc.
Do you know if there is an all in one accessory or any way to do USB host of mouse AND keyboard, microusb to recharge the phone and a MHL exit?
I just tried with a multi-usb hub and the usb host of the galaxy s3 was capable to give power to:
- my razer blackwidow ultimate (with leds shut down)
- my mouse
- an external audio board
- a lil electric oven.
And everything was smooth.
Now my idea would be to use the MHL to connect the phone to the TV, the keyboard and the mouse to the phone, whilst recharging.
I'm asking because I don't have a bluetooth mouse/keyboard since I've always been an hardcore gamer
I thought of this one:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/mobile-fun-connection-kit-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-p35462.htm
But I'm not sure that the mhl would work with that microusb port, and even if it works I loose the opportunity of using the host function :/
Any idea?

To my knowledge MHL and usb OTG can not be used simultaneously, however you can buy the wireless AllShare Cast Dongle to transmit video wirelessly and output over hdmi and use the usb OTG cable to connect to the usb hub (preferably externaly powered, as in the hub has its own power supply) and connect to it what you need. But , correct me if i'm wrong, you still won't be able to charge your phone while using usb OTG.

Well that destroys my hopes
Actually the easiest way seems to use bluetooth mouse/keyboard and a mhl adapter which also recharges the phone.. Meh
Anyone else with some ideas?

MHL and USB Hosting CAN be used simultaneously on the Galaxy S III. That is why Samsung changed the pin layout from 5 to 11. That is why the Galaxy S II MHL Cables won't work with the S III.
Samsung Galaxy S® III uses an 11-pin micro USB input, which allows it to support MHL output and USB on-the-go input simultaneously – an improvement over 5-pin capability

I've been looking for a all in one cable for my american Galaxy S III for a while and the one you linked is the best match I've found so far.
Here is a link to a post I wrote about it on the U.S. Galaxy S III forums. I'm thinking they added this functionality for a future desktop mode.

Did you make any progress?
I'm looking forward into this.
I'm receiving my official mhl adapter in 3-4 days

[Q] Note II video output?

Anyone know if the Note 2 will support video out? HDMI or other..

720p if you want to see the phone ui, 1080p in full screen videos.

Via MHL at the resolutions kersh mentions (probably via the Allshare Cast Dongle too).
Probably using the 11-pin adapter used in the S3 I would think, rather than the standard 5-pin MHL adapter.

This one works on my Note. Should work with Note 2 too.
If you need analog - you can use this adapter + this RCA exit-adapter if you have old TV.

Sounds good, thinking about picking one of these up when they hit the stores.

I'm actually expecting that one will NOT work. Samsung went to an 11- rather than 5-pin arrangement for MHL in the S3, meaning that older adapters did not work with the S3, I would expect that they will use the same connection with the Note 2. I would hold off buying an MHL adapter for the Note 2 until it is confirmed one way or the other.

thanks fr reply. but i didnt get you how to make it work?

The note 2 and the s3 have different hml adapters. You will also need a converter.
On the monoprice link you posted, youll notice ab asterisk next to the s3. Same applies to the note 2.

I just got a Samsung HDTV Adapter Tip (5 to 11 Pin) Model EPL-FU10BEBSTD, which has micro-USB female to male; it enabled my TMobile "HDMI connection kit" that had worked with Galaxy S2 Hercules to work now with my Galaxy Note II. The connection kit was expensive, but has a 10' cable from the MHL adapter body to the male micro-usb plug, as well as a 5' cable to the TV HDMI, and a wall charger to power the adapter body. So the arrangement is quite flexible once installed.

I was hoping someone could help me with this problem also. I have a hdmi capable monitor that I would like to hook my note2 up to but for whatever reason the monitor will not detect the signal. i have tried rebooting and connecting it various ways but no dice.
the only thing i can think of is that its the rom im using which is myrom's latest version

Do you have 5pin or 11pin mhl cable? Note2 requires 11pin one.

I was told you need an S3 cable. Here's the one I use.

Yea you guys are right you need 11 pin for the note 2. the sgs2 used 5 pin so if you have one for your older phone you need a new one or I think they make a converter too. I would suggest getting right from samsung. it may cost more but you get what you pay for usually and samsung makes the best stuff when it comes to that. Also another thing to consider while you are on samsungs website they have a multimedia dock that is on backorder right now but for a 100 dollars it turns your note2 into a pc basically. It has 3 full size usb ports so you can hook up a mouse keyboard and external hard drive and it has the hdmi port and an auido port so you can hook it up to a hdmi tv/ monitor and multimedia speaker system. I was going to get a new computer but I found this thing. So basically I can have an android desktop. It dont get better than that. Now wit dropbox and mobile odin and this exynos exploit we really dont need to hook up to a pc to root so there is no real reason for it. Just something to think about.

This is really helpful. My question is will this charge your phone while you are connected to the tv? Also, I see some of the description on ebay says it might not work if you are rooted.

I am rooted; The MHL/HDMI system works well, if that is your concern. The charger that I use for the MHL adapter is much lower amperage than the one that came with the Galaxy Note 2, so I would guess that charging might be slow if you are watching a movie that way, or maybe not even keep up, but I don't have the patience to do the test (or watch movies that way).

Hmmmm!!!!
I just got the Samsung dock and can't connect with HDMI on rooted stock.
The phone detects the dock and charges up, but no signal to the screen. Also tried hooking it up with the TV and projector using two different custom rom and separate HDMI cables and no dice.
Guess the dock is defective.

[Q] at&t note2 MHL problem

Recently purchased the 11 pin Samsung MHL adapter for my new at&t note 2. I have a Sony Bravia LCD TV. When I connect the adapter to my TV I get the message "hdml cable connected" but see a blank(black) screen on my TV. The phone shows the charging status so I know the power is connected. I also have a note 1(5 pin MHL) phone and an older adapter(5 pin) that works just fine with the same TV. This kinda proves that the HDMI cable that runs through the TV to the adapter is also fine because it can stream with my note 1 without problems. I can only think of 2 possibilities : Sony Bravia is not compatible with Note 2 MHL or I have a faulty adapter(more likey ?).
I also tried rebooting the note 2 just to be sure.
Any pointers ?
Thanks !

sorry to see that no one has answered this. had hdmi working perfectly on my evo 3d. same adapter not responding at all on my gfs note1 and the same black screen issue on my note 2. hope to find a solution soon. Ill follow up if I find a solution.

Note 10.1 (2014) as a VGA Presentation/Lecturing tool

I'm using the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) to give lectures (using the LectureNotes app to write during the lectures). I need to be able to connect it to typical VGA projector. Thought it might help others to know what accessories worked to do this:
Samsung MHL to HDMI adapter (model ET-H10FAUWE)
HDMI to VGA + Audio Converter (made by Neet, bought on amazon)
Optional: MoKo Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Case - Ultra Slim Lightweight Smart-shell Stand Case
The MHL to HDMI adapter is great. It did not come with a power supply but takes the same micro usb as the Note. It produces a beautiful image on an HDMI display (tested on both 720p and 1080p) and did not require any settings to make it work. In all cases it has worked without needing a power supply - presumably because it is drawing sufficient power from the hdmi port with the devices I have tried. If a power supply is connected it passes through to the Note (charging it if the power supply gives sufficient current). Connecting the adapter makes no impact on the speed of the device. Unfortunately none of our lecture theatres have hdmi connections.
The HDMI to VGA converter needs to be active (so needs power). The "Neet" one above had good reviews from people who had struggled to make this work with other devices. For me it worked straight out of the box. On a 1024 x 768 device it uses the full height of the display but not the full width: ileaves a narrow black band on the right. It is showing the full tablet image which is slightly distorted on the projector screen. The projector detected the display without problems.
For the case, I wanted one that works upside down in landscape mode so the return button is at the top left. This prevents accidentally closing the app while writing on the tablet. It also means the display cables run away from you. You need to switch off the auto brightness on the display because your hand will cover the front camera as you write and so the display will periodically dim - not that this makes any difference to the projector display but is just a distraction when writing.
The alternative method I tried to project the display was using a VNC server. I bought the VMLite VNC Server app. (The developer was very helpful and responsive.) By connecting this to a computer/laptop with a VGA connection, you can project the screen. However the VNC server significantly slowed down the tablet and made writing on the tablet less than pleasant. So I abandoned that in favour of the hardware method above.
Hope this helps someone - though your mileage may vary. (Sorry about the lack of links - not enough posts it seems so I had to strip them out).

you might also consider getting something like this, I tested it a few months back and it worked fine. Need external power , but besides that worked out of the box. Got recognized as a HDMI adapter.

Dumb question, but how do you supply the power?

Standard Micro USB charger, you can use the one that comes with your Note.

No support of the device for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014
Hello, are you sure that it works for this model of tablet? I tested this microUSB-VGA adapter with the Galaxy Note 10.1 ed 2014 and with 2 Sansung smartphones: Galaxy SIII, SIV, and no VGA neither audio signal is produced.

It worked for me with the one l linked. Tested on note 2014 and s3 both needed ext power

Personally I would eliminate the MHL to hdmi adapter and replace that with the netgear PTV 3000. That paired with the OP's hdmi to vga converter would result in a nice wireless solution so you don't have to be physically tied to the projector.

Have you actually tried the PTV3000 with the 2014 Note? Cause I have and it doesn't work properly, specially when streaming video. For a simple powerpoint presentation it's ok, but nothing more

Worked fine for me but YMMV I guess.

I recently bought a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 to use mostly as a business tool, so that I could run presentations and workshops in various locations. I did quite a lot of research about how to do this and finally selected the correct cable, an 11 pin MHL 2.0 micro USB to HDMI cable with a USB to power adapter. I was very disappointed to find out that I could not get the tablet to display on my Sony Bravia TV, but this setup works fine on other non Sony displays in the house such as the Panasonic one I have in my bedroom. Unfortunately this means I cannot reliably use my new tablet as intended in case I encounter a Sony TV or projector when I'm at a venue or on location. I wish I'd known this before I bought my tablet. A device such as a chromecast dongle isn't much use either since I don't always have a Wi-Fi connection.
I have noted that the OP is using an HDMI to VGA cable - does anybody know if this works on Sony displays or is the Sony/Samsung incompatibility universal?

The PTV3000 miracast device does not require separate WiFi connection after the initial setup. This and the Samsung AllShare Cast dongle worked well for me.
