As started in the title, the dongle works perfectly. Not sure if it was mentioned before.
Edit.... this experiment was based on the E-980 AT&T variant.
That's awesome. Though the rocketfish device is a bit on the costly side, I'm looking at purchasing the netgear push2tv ptv3000 with miracast.

Yeah you're right it is on the costly side but I plan to return anyway and buy another one off of Amazon for cheaper. The reason I did it was to confirm that even if you don't have Android 4.2 or higher it still works.

Go to Amazon and read reviews. You do get what you pay for in mhl... I have the Skiva mhl ($15). I bought one of the $5 ones first, and after HD mkv was stuttering and draining quicker than it could charge, I bought the Skiva and learned my lesson. In most cases, except simple cables like hdmi, you get what you pay for.

Hey guys all I could find for hdmi adaptors were 50$ here in canada. Did some reading bought this galaxy tab dock for 15 $. It has a mini hdmi out which is great, cable was 15$ for 6ft. Everything works great. I cut the side edges out and put some felt tabs on the adaptor. Put a piece of hockey tape on it after. Tablet doesnt move. No fear of too much pressure on the connector. Works great as desktop stand and for mirroring on tv. Bought it on amazon. I know its a little rough but it was just to see if it worked ill clean up the edges later

$12.95 w/free shipping here in the states on Ebay for the HDMI Multimedia Galaxy Tab 7.0 Desktop Charger Music Dock.
I may get one and use a table saw to cut the ends off of the unit like you did.

Hi guys I have a ps2 controller and a cable ps2 to usb. Is there any way to make ps2 controller to work with the s3?

Theoretically, with a USB OTG cable. But I don't have one yet, so I can't test it.
I don't think there is but not sure. You can also buy a cheap ps3 non Sony on eBay , got one for 12.99 and it would great

mostly won't work, probably designed for note1, not compatible with note2.
you need one with 11 pins.
just search Samsung HDMI adaptor, if it said for galaxy s3, then it will works!
galaxy s3 also is 11 pins.
So this would work then?

yes, it should works if you buy BOTH of them.
but I would suggest buying Samsung brand,
I have a Samsung brand and it works!
maybe better video quality too.
or you can get the allshare hub, stream it to HDTV wireless!

Hi,
I have mhl cable
I have HDMI cable.
I have LG LED HDTV
I connected the mhl cable to my s4 and connected HDMI cable to the mhl port. I switched on TV and selected the HDMI as the input but nothing is coming up on my TV screen.
In my knowledge, using mhl cable or adaptor I should be able to share my screen on my TV.
Any idea why it's not working as intended. Also is there is any way to play games on to my TV from my phone?
Your help is much appreciated.:thumbup:

You need the new mhl 2.0 adapter. The s3 started with the new adapter and the one for the s2 won't work anymore

Try The Samsung Brand
Samsung Makes a MHL to HDMI OTG style converter, I got one from amazon and it works for me, They tend to be a little bit more money compared to other though
Thanks All for your replies. that makes sense.
i will try to buy one, any recommendations apart from the Samsung brand?
