I am interested in hooking up my GN to a monitor along with a mouse and keyboard. I just got bored and thought it would be fun to use my phone as a sort of computer.
I have made my own OTG USB cable and have hooked up everything separately and have full functionality of everything individually. The problem lies in the fact that video out requires a MHL HDMI adaptor... which occupies the USB plug on the phone, my only thought has been to use a USB hub as I don't have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Before I go tearing up my MHL HDMI adaptor, does anyone know if it is possible to plug the MHL adaptor into the USB hub and have it work? Are there some issues with power that I haven't even considered, since the MHL adaptor has to have its own power and even supplies the phone with electricity when connected?
Its only a $10 part, so I am going to do it if I don't get a solid answer here and will report back if it works.
Thanks
Sorry, no it won't work. When the MHL is plugged in, the USB pins are reconfigured to do the video, USB data can't work simultaneously. The best way is to get bluetooth keyboard and mouse and use the MHL adapter for the video.
I have both a genuine Samsung MHL adapter and the S2 mhl adapter with the 5pin to 11pin converter and I've seen both of these work on other phones.
However, I can't get my video out working on my S3. Both of them connect and bring up active charge and indicate onscreen that "HDMI cable connected". So I know the adapter and cable is being detected but no signal on HDTV. The HDMI cable is good as is TV and monitor I tested on and of course proper input is selected.
Now as far as I remember as soon as it is plugged in the video should automatically show up on HDTV screen...correct? No TV out setting has to be turned on as in past Galaxy correct?
Fyi..I have multiple S3's but currently only have one on hand...its a 747m with KyanROM on it... so not stock..it is rooted and has KT747 9-18 kernel as well.
I have a feeling its the rom(and I could easily test this if I had other phones but don't for a while).
So if both MHL adapters are confirmed working and both the HDMI cable and TV are working AND even the phone states that HDMI cable connected, then what is the issue with no video display?

Do you have the power plugged in? That is, a AC/DC charger to micro-USB cable plugged in to the micro-USB port on the adapter.
Should work automatically
I just received the Min-Suit 11-pin adapter sold on Amazon. Mine switches on automatically as soon as I plug in the adapter. Of course, to make it work, you should first plug a charging cable into the USB micro port on the adapter and you should connect an HDMI cable to the tv. Also, make sure you're selected the correct HDMI input on the tv. If you do all of that, the picture and sound should start up as soon as you plug in the cable.
Unless it was a mistake, your OP says you have s2 adapter. From my understanding, the pins are different on the s3 and will not work with the older adapters.
If you read closer Woody you will see that he says that he uses an old MHL adapter, WITH the 5 to 11 pin adapter
That should work. But I think your ROM is the guilty one...

Dont give up yet, I thought I had the same problem, but my ballistic case was preventing the MHL adapter from going all the way in. I took the phone out of the case and the adapter clicked in. Worked great on the TV, but best of all, worked in the truck via a down converter. Had to play with it to get in deep enough (kind of phone foreplay i guess:laugh to work, but it does.
Hi,
I just bought the Monoprice micro usb to HDMI MHL adapter for my SGS2.
When I directly connect to my TV, it is working, but my tv sound sucks so I want to take advantage of my home theatre system instead.
I have a Sony BDV-N990W with an ARC (audio reverse channel) hdmi + 2 regular hdmi inputs. I plugged the hdmi to the mhl adapter that is connected to the Sony hdmi input. All is doing is hdmi connected/hdmi disconnected literally every seconds.
I reboot my phone, changed to 2 other hdmi cables I have, changed hdmi ports; still the same result...
Did anyone else have a similar issue? If so, any solutions or suggestions?
Hi,
i use USB OTG with a USB Hub for Mouse, Keyboard and USB-HDD at the same time. It works. I got now a MHL HDMI adapter. It works. But is it possible to use USB OTG and MHL HDMI together?
BTW: There is a Multimedia Dock from Samsung: EDD-S20JWEGSTA
so it means it is possible both togeter, but i've already my USB OTG and MHL HDMI and wont buy now a extra docking station. Is it possible to use both together ie with an additionally adapter, or so?
TIA
Toby
nobody?
You may know this adapter, but I found this one extremely cheap and it has a good quality (1080p).
Links:
Amazon UK £4.87 HDMI Cable not included. (not sure about charger)
Amazon USA $12.99 Build in HDMI and USB 2.0 charger (6.5 feet/2 meter)
Specs:
MHL for 1080p output
HDMI out
USB charger (I think you need to keep the charger connected, otherwise it won't work. You can also plug it in on pc usb port)
Micro USB (goes to phone)
